You don't need a stamp of approval, talent, passion, confidence, or even motivation to get going... 

You don't need to have it all figured out or even have the slightest clue about what you're creating yet.

If you feel like there’s something more, something else you want to go after, or another piece of this little puzzle called life, this episode will help inspire you to create more meaning and find more fulfillment starting today.

  • The five half-truths that keep us from pursuing work we live 
  • What to say at your next networking event when someone asks what you do
