Many people stall before they ever start because they believe expertise has to come first. In this episode, Jason reframes that belief and offers a more practical path forward. He explains why authority is built through experience, proximity to the work, and taking responsibility—not waiting until everything feels complete. Through real examples from teaching, web design, and marketing, he shows how authority grows when you stop disqualifying your past and start trusting your judgment. If you’ve been holding back because you don’t feel “ready,” this episode invites you to move anyway—and let the work shape you as you go.
