This one’s a bit different.
Because this time… it’s me on the other side of the conversation.
No frameworks. No polished answers. Just the truth about where I’m at right now.
I’m at a point where I know what I should be doing; more coaching, more speaking, building the podcast…doing the work that genuinely lights me up.
And yet… I’m still stuck in the day-to-day.
Still holding on. Still in control.
In this episode, we unpack that tension—the gap between knowing and doing.
We get into:
-
Why I’m shifting my focus toward coaching and the podcast—and what’s pulling me there
-
The honest struggle with letting go of Flagship’s day-to-day, even when I know it’s the right move
-
The fear that creeps in… “What if I let go and it all falls apart?”
-
Why chasing podcast numbers doesn’t sit right with me—and what I care about instead
-
And how vulnerability, as uncomfortable as it is, might actually be the unlock for better leadership
There’s a moment in here where it really hits me…
Sometimes the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of strategy—
it’s the part of you that still needs to feel in control.
If you’re a business owner who knows you need to step up, step back, or step differently…
this one will probably feel uncomfortably familiar.
