In this powerful Short Lesson, we revisit a conversation from April 2022 with the inspiring Jono Poon.

This bite-sized episode dives into the all-too-common fear of other people’s opinions, and how that fear can hold us back from living the life we actually want. Jono shares blunt but uplifting truths about why you don’t need anyone’s validation to chase your goals, try new things, or simply do what makes you happy.

Whether you’re a driving instructor questioning your career path or someone afraid to step outside the box, this episode will challenge your mindset in the best way. Because, as Jono puts it, other people’s opinions don’t pay your bills. Hit play, get inspired, and then go do your thing.
