Getting what you want isn’t just about setting goals—it’s about taking risks, embracing fear, and stepping into uncertainty with courage. It requires trusting yourself, being okay with setbacks, and pushing forward even when people don’t understand or support you.

Today’s guest, Jenny Wood, has built a career helping people go after what they want boldly and unapologetically. A former Google executive, career strategist, and author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It, Jenny founded Own Your Career, one of Google’s largest career development programs. Her insights on personal growth, leadership, and career success have been featured in Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, Inc., The New York Times, and Forbes. She’s here to talk about what it really takes to stop waiting and start getting what you want.

You don’t need permission—just a decision. Say YES to the things that matter, say NO to what doesn’t, and keep moving forward. The magic happens in the messy, uncertain, doubt-filled space where fear tells you to stop—so go there anyway.
