In this episode, I share my personal journey with resiliency—what it means to "be where your feet are," how to handle anxiety about the future, and why facing life's hardest moments one step at a time is the key to moving forward. I'll talk about my early entrepreneurial days, lessons learned from the military, and the powerful advice from my late best friend Talon that has carried me through some of life's hardest seasons.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• "Be where your feet are" — focus fully on the present moment, not on future unknowns.
• Only worry about the "closest alligator to the boat" — solve the problem right in front of you.
• Worry alone is useless; move from anxiety to action by making a plan.
• Entrepreneurship (and life) is a contact sport — expect challenges and prepare to respond.
• Resiliency is built through presence, planning, and executing one step at a time.
