Kevin Bourne highlights why embracing the awkward, transitional moments is key to building a lasting legacy. For Kevin, the in-between—the messy, unpolished phases—matters just as much as the milestones.

“I’m not here for the moment. I’m thinking about being here in 20 or 30 years. Who’s even going to remember the awkward phase?” he asks, drawing a powerful parallel between personal growth and career evolution. Whether it’s the growing pains or the confusion that comes with pivoting, Kevin stays focused on the long game.

Naomi Haile reframes these transitions beautifully: “Those moments are as much a part of your life as the highs and lows. They deserve the same respect and honor.”
