If you've been feeling stuck, chances are you don't need another small habit or tiny tweak. You need a move that changes who you are. In this Quickie, I'm sharing why the biggest breakthroughs in business and life come from making bold decisions that stretch your identity, expand your capacity, and force you to become the person your future is asking you to be. From writing my first book and giving a TED Talk to hosting events and launching Million Dollar Guest, I'm pulling back the curtain on the moments that completely changed my life. If you're ready to stop playing small, trust your intuition, and create the kind of momentum that transforms your future, this is an episode you'll want to come back to again and again.
