Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there when trying to start something new? This podcast dives into the common tendency to get stuck in the learning phase, where we consume endless content without taking action.

Using a personal experience with sourdough baking as an analogy, I emphasize the importance of picking a trusted resource and just diving in.
