I know I’m weird. I record podcasts while driving. I talk to strangers on the internet. I’ve poured time, money, and reputation into something that might go nowhere. It’s embarrassing. It’s terrifying. And I do it anyway.

This episode is for anyone sitting on a dream but too scared to start. I get it. I feel that same fear—every single day. I’m shy. I hate being the center of attention. I worry I’m wasting time I could spend with my kids. But still, I show up.

We live in a world filled with opportunity. Anyone can build something. Anyone can speak. But most people won’t—because someone, somewhere told them they were foolish for even trying.

If you’ve ever felt like what you want is too big, too weird, too risky, or too small to matter, I want you to hear this: you’re not alone. The fear doesn’t go away. But the only way forward is through.

You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to do it afraid.

Take care. And go be weird.
