I sat down with some incredible callers, from a furniture-flipper-turned-podcaster, to a B2B salesman trying to compete with a 200-person juggernaut, to a 78-year-old content creator getting heat from her own friends. And we went deep. 💥

If you’ve been playing small because of fear, judgment, lack of clarity, or just straight-up overthinking — this episode is your wake-up call. From practical tactics on TikTok and LinkedIn to mindset shifts around insecurity, judgment, and competition, we hit it all.
