Welcome, everyone, to the 60th episode of Professor P's Podcast. This week, I am bringing you an Entrepreneurial Tip and an Empowered Life/Palumbo Principle. The topic for this show is BETA to be BETTER! #entrepreneurialtip #empoweredlife #palumboprinciple
“Beta to be Better”, the power of testing, trying, and putting things out into the world before you feel ready. So many of us get stuck waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect idea, the perfect version of ourselves… but perfection is a trap. Progress happens in the beta stage. That’s where clarity, direction, and confidence come from.
In this episode, I break down what it really means to create a Minimum Viable Product, an MVP, and why every entrepreneur needs to learn how to test their ideas early and often. I talk about how to build the simplest version of your concept, how to get real feedback from your market, and how to use data, not fear, to guide your next steps. But this isn’t just about business. Testing applies to our lives, too. When we allow ourselves to try new things, experiment, stretch, learn, and grow, we become stronger, clearer, and more aligned with who we’re becoming.
I also share why being open to testing is a form of empowerment. So many people never start because they’re afraid to fail, but the truth is this: failure is feedback. Movement is medicine. Action is activation. You grow as you go. And the moment you release the pressure to be perfect, you give yourself the freedom to evolve.
My hope is that this episode encourages you to take that next small step, to test your idea, test a new habit, test a new season of your life, and trust that every version you build is preparing you for the person you’re meant to be. Beta is not a weakness; it’s your superpower.
