Listen "The Grit That Saved me: Fire, Failure and Getting Up Again"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this solo episode, I’m talking about grit—the unglamorous, sweaty, get-back-up-again kind. The kind that shows up when your house burns down. (Yep, that happened.) The kind that keeps you going when your catalog business tanks spectacularly. (Also me.) And the kind that lets you smile through a massively awkward, under-attended ballroom event where you hired a band, belly dancers, and booked a venue the size of a Costco… for 30 guests.I take you through the real stories that taught me what grit really looks like—plus why it matters more than talent, IQ, or even confidence.You’ll hear:The surreal moment I watched my bedroom go up in flamesHow I lost money (and probably a little dignity) chasing a dream business in my 20sThe ball that bombed—and the lesson that stuckWhy failing big gave me the skills I needed to eventually succeedAnd the quote I come back to every time I want to crawl under a blanket and never try againThis one’s for anyone who’s ever failed, flopped, or felt like giving up. If that’s you—listen up. This is your sign to keep going.Because your empire? It’s still waiting.And you? You were built for it.
