Plant the Corn


Listen Later

What if the only thing standing between you and “impossible” is five minutes of research? In this episode, we explore a simple but powerful lesson sparked by an unlikely experiment: growing corn in a storage container on a back deck.

What started as curiosity turned into towering six-foot stalks of corn—and a mindset shift. So many of the limits we accept aren’t real barriers; they’re assumptions. We decide something can’t be done simply because we’ve never seen it done. But what if “impossible” is just unfamiliar?

Listen in as we unpack how small experiments can challenge big beliefs—and how your willingness to try might quietly inspire everyone watching.

💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why we label things impossible too quickly • How small research and simple action unlock new possibilities • The power of challenging assumptions—yours and others’ • How visible courage gives others permission to think bigger • Why experimentation builds confidence far beyond the project itself

🛠️ Action Step: Think of one idea you’ve dismissed as unrealistic or unlikely. Spend five minutes researching it. Ask one question. Take one small step. Plant the seed—and see what grows.

📌 Perfect For: • Dreamers who doubt their own ideas • Entrepreneurs and creative thinkers • Leaders encouraging innovation • Anyone feeling limited by circumstance • People ready to test what’s actually possible
