A New Lens

This podcast is evolving — and today, I’m telling you why.

When I started Intern to Expert, it was all about leveling up: discipline, hard work, becoming better. And while that’s still part of the story… something deeper has been calling.

Growth isn’t just about grinding forward — it’s about learning to see differently.
This rebrand reflects that shift.

So starting now, this show is called A New Lens.

In this solo episode, I talk ab...

These are the mindset shifts and daily practices that took me from feeling like an overlooked beginner to becoming a respected, trusted expert.

In this personal episode, I share how training alone — without a spotter, hype crew, or social media validation — became one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

When no one’s watching, who are you training for?

I dive into:

The mental shift that happens when you stop performing and start showing up for yourself

How solitude built more self-trust than any PR

Why discipline, not motivation, is the root of real confidence
