Do you spend hours fretting over the small details? Do you need everything to be done in a specific way? You might be a perfectionist. But is this personality trait preventing you from doing the thing?

I had an impromptu—totally not perfect—conversation with Dr. Amelia Case to learn how perfectionism is both a gift and a hindrance. Perfectionists help us see missing pieces no one else notices. But this trait can also lead to analysis paralysis. How can you combine the good and the bad attributes of perfectionism?

Do you always put the needs of others first? People pleasers will do anything to gain acceptance in the world. But what happens if you forget about your own wants and desires?

In this casual conversation with Dr. Nancy De Andrade—my amazingly insightful holistic coach—we dissect the good and shadow sides of the people-pleaser persona. This personality type is often misunderstood. And many times, it's rooted in childhood trauma. It's time to ask yourself: Why do you want to make other people happy, and would they return the generosity?

Learn why you became a people pleaser and how to navigate this persona as you do the thing.

Successful entrepreneurs identify a problem and develop a solution. But what if no one had a solution that works for you?

I sat down with Leah Boomsma—founder of Flipping Holder—to answer this question. A messy, mid-air incident with a baby food pouch left this mom of four feeling frustrated. Instead of waiting for someone else to solve her problem, she designed something that worked for her family. But could this busy full-time lawyer and mom turn her 3D-printed prototype into a sustainable business?

Here's how Leah solved a problem, took the next easiest step, and launched a brand without any attachment to the outcome.

Action is the hardest part of doing the thing. But you never move forward without taking that first step. What if you embraced quiet confidence and permitted yourself to fail?

I sat down with Andrés Gamboa of Pony Tales Podcast to unveil what a college job at Southwestern taught him about overcoming rejection and taking risks. Born in Colombia, he and his parents immigrated to Nebraska under threat of murder. The cards were stacked against young Andrés, but a door-to-door sales job at Southwestern changed his perspective. Would the lessons he learned guide him through other avenues of his life?

Here's how a college job selling books gave Andrés the confidence and courage to Do The Thing in everything.

Single adults flock to dating apps hoping to find love—or maybe a one-time hookup. But too many online relationships end before they even begin. What if you detoxed from the apps and searched for a partner in the wild?

I got to chat with Jill Goldberg, who recently completed our Do The Thing Dating Dare Challenge, to discuss why she desires a partner who brings her joy.

In this episode, Jill breaks down how these principles of the Do The Thing formula helped her finish the Dating Dare Challenge:
