Sometimes the biggest business breakthroughs don’t come from a strategy session, they come from throwing up at 13,000 feet and choosing to keep going anyway.
This episode is a little different. It’s part life update, part behind-the-scenes look at a two-week trek I took through Peru with my mom to celebrate my 30th birthday, and full of unexpected lessons about mindset, motivation, and what it really means to be committed to your goals.
I got altitude sickness. I couldn’t eat. I rode a horse up a mountain while running on zero calories. And I kept going, not because I’m superhuman, but because there was no other option in my mind.
In this episode, I’m sharing what that experience taught me about business, especially when things feel hard. I dive into:
Why asking "How will I?" is a more powerful question than "Can I?"
The difference between having a safety net and letting it become your ceiling
How pushing through physical hardship reminded me what it takes to scale a business with grit and purpose
The importance of giving your brain true rest, and how most of us don’t know how to do that
Why your backup plan might actually be the thing keeping you small
If you’ve ever felt like giving up, if you’ve been wondering if you’ve got what it takes… I want you to know: you don’t need permission. You need a decision.
