Feeling stuck between safety and change? This episode reframes risk from a cliff to a staircase: small, reversible steps you can design, test, and learn from.

Allen walks through the P.A.R. Loop (Plan, Act, Reflect), shows how to shrink big leaps into smart experiments, and introduces the “comfort tax” vs. the “growth fee” so you can choose your currency with intention.

You’ll learn:

• How to turn fear into data and momentum

• The simplest way to run low-stakes tests before committing

• When to persist, pivot, or park using the P.A.R. Loop

• Why comfort compounds its fees quietly while growth pays dividends

• A real example of healthy fear in action from Maison TST

This conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of a decision, whether career, creative, or personal, and looking for a practical way forward without burning bridges.
