Is It Your Time to Shoot?

When pressure’s high and the clock feels loud, most of us fire off anxious shots—decisions made from panic, not purpose. In this episode, Kevin M. Tucker (aka your favorite cousin) goes straight to the core: time intimidation, bad coaching, and the myth of “I’m late.” You’ll hear the Steph Curry lesson on confidence after misses, a Wild Card “burn the boats” moment, and a faith-centered reset for clarity and peace. Punchline: the clock isn’t your enemy—your panic is.

You’ll learn

• The 3-Beat Pause to help avoid anxious decisions: Breathe • Review • Re-evaluate.
• The Preparation Check to separate reaction from purpose.
• Bonus: The Spiritual Anchor (pray for clarity, seek wise counsel, move in faith).

Highlights

• The “anxious shot” that costs momentum.
• Why time pressure makes smart people think sloppy.
• How to tune out unqualified voices (closeness ≠ competence).
• Discernment over feelings—move when it’s time, not when it feels perfect.

Challenge for the week

1. Remove one false deadline.
2. Take one intentional, prepared shot.
3. Cut one unqualified voice from your decision-making.
