The Ideas That Shaped Us (Even When We Didn’t Build Them)

Send us a text

In this episode of Action Ignited, Jason and Izz dive into the ventures that never happened, the ideas they almost built, walked away from, or outgrew. Because sometimes, the ideas you don’t pursue shape you just as much as the ones you do. This is a conversation about alignment, clarity, and learning to separate ego-driven ambition from purpose-driven action.

What You’ll Hear in Today’s Episode:

• The business and career choices Jason and Izz nearly built and why they passed.
• Why “saying no” can be a form of growth, not failure.
• How old ideas teach you about identity, timing, and alignment.
• The emotional pressure of feeling like you “quit” something and how to reframe that.
• What past decisions reveal about who you are today as a builder and leader.
• The value of revisiting past visions to audit your current direction.

Ideas aren’t wasted just because they weren’t built. Every “no” teaches you what kind of “yes” is worth your time, energy, and alignment.
