1301: Don’t Feel Ready? Why Resourcefulness Beats Readiness Every Time

If you’re waiting to feel confident, prepared, or fully equipped before you go after your goal — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this raw and honest solo show, I’m sharing lessons from a recent experience hosting the very first gala for the Dagny Foundation — including what it taught me about discomfort, asking for help, scrappy problem-solving, and why we often stay stuck by thinking the same old thoughts.

I’ll walk you through the biggest mindset shifts that helped me get through something I didn’t feel ready for — and how those same shifts apply directly to your goals. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, overwhelmed, or afraid to start, this is the conversation you need to hear.
