#155: The Non-Negotiable Requirement for Growth Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, you’ll discover—

What makes taking risks so difficult
Three areas you must embrace discomfort to succeed
Why being tempered by failure is a good thing
The vital frame-shift you need to make in thinking about critical feedback
That feeling confidence is not a prerequisite for accomplishment
