- It Probably Won't Work... But You Should DO IT ANYWAY!
In this episode, we discuss how to overcome the doubt surrounding your goals and dreams. And how in business, it's not always clear when your idea will work, but it is clear that failure only comes after quitting.
Have you ever heard of a business idea and thought it was too wild and may not even work? My bet is that we all have since this is common in the entrepreneurship world.
We then come across the same idea after it has gone through several iterations and trials and have an aha moment. The idea has morphed into something we can now understand and see the business sense behind it.
This is the theme of today’s episode; all good ideas go through this journey of initial failure before they are refined through a lot of work to become great ideas.
To highlight this, we share numerous examples of ideas that evolved after initial failures or doubt but went on to become huge and the lessons we can learn from them.
Among the successful businesses we highlight that were built after founders had failed multiple times is Clubhouse, the live social audio app, currently valued at over $4 billion.
Listen in to this amazing story and others of successful entrepreneurs who despite of failing overcame the doubts to achieve their goals.
Key Takeaways
- The Clubhouse story and how the founders had failed with other ideas (10:00)
- Why having iterations that don't work lead you to a working
- How ideas evolve through trials and eventually work (16:44)

Email: [email protected]50 min - The Best Advice I Ever Got
This week we have a fun episode for you, our listeners but still very informative. It is based on a clubhouse conversation I was listening to titled The Best Advice I Ever Got. Eddie and I have some really powerful pieces of advice we have lined up for you.
But before we get into them, have you ever thought of why it is so hard for people to take advice? The funny thing is that most of the time, when someone really needs to hear something, it's typically when they don't want to hear it.
For all you listeners of the PUSH podcast, Eddie and I want to encourage you not to be this type of person. Don't let your ego and pride come in the way of receiving something that could be a turning point in your life.
The challenge we have for you today is to ask yourself, when is the last time someone offered you advice? And if you haven't received any, there's a couple of things at play. Are you not open? Do you present yourself as closed off that you can't be told anything? Are you surrounding yourself with people that don't care enough to give you advice?
Tune in to hear some of the pieces of advice we have for you, including the one piece of advice an elderly man gave to a 20-year old Janelle.
Key Takeaways
- This week's What in the world (01:33)
- Closed mouths don't get fed: You have to stand up for yourself (14:49)
- Opportunities are created then taken (15:33)
- What would the 4M's say? (18:08)
- Learn how to hold a funeral: Let go of things (22:21)
- Your life is your responsibility (26:44)
- Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better (31:33)
- Can you outlast your old self to get to your new self (31:46)
- Never play hide and seek with the truth (32:43)
- When you know better, you do better (36:58)
- 80% of success is showing up early (38:50)

Email: [email protected]55 min - COMPARISON KILLS. PERIOD.
If you are like most people, you probably have caught yourself comparing your life with other people's on social media. It is a fundamental human impulse to compare ourselves with others to gauge how we are doing in life.
The problem with it is that people don’t post their 'behind the scenes' or their 'grinding' on social media. We just see their highlight reel, which we then compare with our very own struggles. This comparison will definitely lower our self-esteem, our self-confidence and ultimately destroys us.
Eddie and I suggest to you, our friends and listeners, that we should understand where our negative comparison feelings are stemming from. Are these feelings coming from a place of envy? Are they coming from the realization that we are not working on the potential we know we have?
Once we understand this, we can then move from a position of comparison to admiration. Admiration allows you to see the highest qualities of that person so that you can possibly emulate those qualities as you pursue your own journey toward success.
Tune in to hear Eddie and I discuss the dangers of comparison, why we do it, how it affects us and how to get to a place of admiration rather than comparison.
Key Takeaways
- The disabling power of comparison (13:50)
- Comparison Vs. Admiration (16:32)
- How comparison robs our joy and potential (21:42)
- You don’t know the backstory behind someone’s success (23:55)
- The definition of success (29:04)
- Being a student rather than a follower (33:59)
- Replace envy with admiration (43:54)

In this episode, we discuss how traditions impact progression. How have the routines and ideas you were raised with threatening your progress over time?
When you think about your own life, are there some things that you hold to that hinder your ability to progress? This is a fundamental question that we all should ask ourselves. In order to keep pace with time and experience growth, we need progression. But at the same time, we have these traditions or habits that limit us.
In today’s episode, Eddie and I look at the importance of traditions and also when we get to a point where these same traditions don’t necessarily match what’s required to thrive in the new world.
Traditions are like a double-edged sword, they bring comfort, certainty, and common ground, but these same things will hinder your growth.
So the question is, when do we abandon tradition for progression? Listen in as Eddie, and I discuss this conundrum and try to find the right balance.
Key Takeaways
- How some of the things you hold on to limit your ability to progress (15:15)
- When does tradition get in the way of progress? (16:33)
- Why traditions are important (18:03)
- How to recognize the beliefs and traditions you are passing down (23:55)
- The benefits of tradition are the same things that will stop you from making changes (27:59)
- When to abandon tradition for progress (28:56)
- How the traditions you are instilling in your children impacts their future (33:47)

We have talked about the power of delayed gratification several times in the PUSH Podcast and highlighted examples of how it works in developing your willpower and self-control to achieve your goals.
Delayed gratification starts with having a vision or a goal that you want for your life but having the patience while putting in the work to achieve those goals. Our guest today, Jessica, exhibits delayed gratification at its finest. Not only did she set monster goals for herself, but she also put real intention behind them and worked hard to achieve them.

She worked hard to realize her dream, and just a week before she was able to open her bakery, her grandmother, who was her biggest supporter, passed on. She nonetheless persevered and had a very successful grand opening, shattering her revenue targets and having a lot of fun while at it.
Tune in to hear her amazing story of perseverance, hard work, and pushing through obstacles to get from Homefront to Storefront.
