How do you respond to rejection, uncertainty, or feeling like an outsider? Today's guest, Capella Fahoome, filmmaker and organizational development expert, believes these moments are opportunities for incredible growth. Capella shares her inspiring journey from psychology to award-winning filmmaking, highlighting the essential role of relationships, vulnerability, and authenticity.

We discuss her insights on leadership, the transformative power of storytelling, and her upcoming book, "The Outsider’s Guide to Filmmaking." This episode will remind you to embrace your uniqueness, foster meaningful connections, and celebrate the power of your personal narrative.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Take action in uncertainty: Don't wait for the "perfect" moment—small, consistent steps move you forward.
• Prioritize relationships: Empathy, authenticity, and gratitude are the heart of effective leadership and growth.
• Grow through rejection: Each setback is a chance to learn, adapt, and build resilience on your journey.
• Own your unique story: Focus on your own strengths and contributions rather than comparing yourself to others or seeking external validation.
