What if the only thing standing between you and your dream business… is fear?

In this deeply moving and motivational episode of Talking with the Experts, we welcome Michele Novack—founder of CardinalsByte and a fearless advocate for helping entrepreneurs confront the mental and emotional blocks that keep their brilliance trapped inside.

Michele isn’t just here to talk cybersecurity. She’s here to guide you through a conversation about the invisible battle most entrepreneurs fight: the fear of not being enough, not being ready, or not being worthy of success.

You’ll hear Michele’s powerful story of reinvention and how she transitioned from corporate cybersecurity to becoming a mentor and mindset coach for business owners ready to make a difference. Her message is clear: It’s not about waiting for more information or the perfect time. It’s about facing the fear, embracing the challenge, and becoming the Game Changer you were born to be.

Together, we unpack:

  • Why fear—not failure—is the real dream killer
  • How to identify the hidden beliefs holding you back
  • What it takes to stop playing small and step into your power
  • The mindset shift that can transform your life and business

If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating, overthinking, or postponing your goals, this episode will serve as both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Michele’s story and strategy will move you, challenge you, and equip you with tools to overcome fear and finally say yes to your dreams.
