Every new beginning comes with nerves, doubt, and the temptation to wait until we feel ready. But what if the true transformation happens not at the finish line, but the moment you dare to begin? In this episode, I’m reflecting on my recent journey into running and how it mirrors the realities of leadership, growth, and courage. From learning payroll to pounding the pavement, I’m sharing lessons about starting scared, leading with humility, and why beginners make the best leaders.
If you’ve ever hesitated to start something new because you didn’t feel ready—this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why courage is more important than confidence when starting something new
- How leadership and running both teach empathy, humility, and progress
- Why being a beginner makes you a better teammate and leader
Key Takeaways:
- You don’t need to be an expert to begin, you just need to start
- Perfection isn’t the goal, progress is
- Starting lines, not finish lines, are where transformation happens
