Grit & The Gravel Road

In this week's episode on the Grit and The Gravel Road Podcast, we discuss discovering your trigger into taking the first action steps into momentum. What is that force that will compel you forward, despite all of the voices in your head and what you tell yourself? There's something that will move you forward that feels more painful than your ego, uncomfortability of stepping out and being willing to be seen. It's more painful to watch someone struggle, to see someone in need, or to know that you have a solution that you are essentially depriving someone and keeping them in that loop. What is that force? Join us every Wednesday as we discuss business, life, and all things human. In this week’s episode
- Finding the force that will compel you forward, despite all of the voices in your head
