Breaking Through: Mindset, Money & Momentum

Video Format: https://youtu.be/w7dCXZDuwZI

Welcome to the Zero Episode — your introduction to the mindset and mechanics behind the show. In this powerful opening, host Bo Kemp breaks down why the first million — whether in dollars, impact, or purpose — is always the hardest milestone to achieve.

This episode explores four technical and three psychological reasons why getting started is often the greatest hurdle on the journey to success. On the technical side, inertia makes getting started harder than staying in motion. The law of small numbers means early compounding yields are slow and discouraging. A smaller window of opportunity exists when you’re unknown or unproven. And a lower risk profile makes the first big leap require boldness with little cushion.

On the psychological side, limiting beliefs hold you back as old stories and unmet goals anchor you in place. Reframing aspirations becomes essential, since real growth requires a shift in what you believe is possible. And sustained practice is what turns ideas into change, because they must be consistently backed by action.

Bo shares how these early obstacles, while formidable, are also the most transformative — shaping not just what you achieve, but who you become along the way. He also shares a bit of his background and inspiration for the podcast.

Whether you're starting a business, writing a book, or making your first big life pivot, this episode is the foundation for everything to come.
