TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. Where you come from does not determine where you’re going.
2. Every single person has what it takes to go from underestimated to unstoppable. But first you have to decide that you want to. Decide that you believe that you can.
3. Every single thing that’s been built, created, or done in the world was created by someone just like you and me.
4. Stand for something, even when it’s not easy.
5. No one can tell you that you’re not the right fit. Our own calling is always stronger than any opposition. It comes down to which one you decide to listen to.
6. Sometimes the hardest no’s in life are serendipitous in grace.
7. Just because an idea has already been done doesn’t mean it’ll impact your ability to do it and succeed. Show up authentically as you are. No one can do it the way you can.
8. You don’t have to be a lone wolf. You are worthy of having another person show up for you.

Thank you so much for listening!
