The illusion of security is often more dangerous than uncertainty. In this Unstuck Classic, we revisit the story of Jonah, a seasoned SaaS leader with over 20 years of experience who feels trapped in a role that once inspired him and now drains him. Jonah has ideas, talent, and ambition, but fear keeps him stuck. Fear of failing. Fear of financial risk. Fear of disrupting the life he’s built. Each night ends the same way, scrolling job postings he never applies to, wondering when clarity and courage will finally arrive. This Unstuck Classics episode revisits a powerful conversation with Kevin Karschnik, global keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and mindset expert. Kevin has reinvented himself multiple times and shares a practical, grounded approach to building something new without taking reckless risks. From financial runways to mindset shifts, this conversation reframes what “security” really means and why waiting for perfect conditions keeps people stuck. If a reset has been on the mind, but action keeps getting delayed, this episode is worth revisiting.
