Choosing Your Own Definition of Success: Why It Matters for Achieving Your Personal Goals
Host Bevin Farrand’s Take The DAMN Chance movement was born out of her hope to inspire others to go after your dreams. The keyword word being “your,” because chasing after someone else’s won’t equip you with the passion needed to succeed.
In this episode, Bevin gives a quick backstory on how the movement came to be, and changed from “Take The DAMN Trip” to “Take The DAMN Chance.” She also shares her TRIP filter that shines a light on the chances you should be taking, and the ones you need to let go of.
You’ll specifically hear about the letter “P” in the acronym, which stands for Personal. Ask yourself, is this dream personal? Meaning, is it for YOU? Is it based on your own desires, your own definition of success?
To discover your personal definition of success and start living out your own dreams, tune in now!

Embracing the "I Don't Know": Benefits of Uncertainty and New Possibilities
We have to “learn” before we can “know,” and that means being okay with not having all the answers — something that makes many people uneasy. That urge to feel in control and know what’s coming next is comforting, but opening yourself up to explore for those answers might be the key to getting where you’re meant to be.
Last week’s guest, Amanda Bucci, introduced host Bevin Farrand to the idea of “being comfortable in the void of the ‘I Don’t Know’” and it has inspired this episode. Today, she covers what it means to live in the “I Don’t Know,” and how it will improve your life. You’ll also learn about what Bevin calls “dreaming like children,” and why adults need to be engaging in it.
Being comfortable with uncertainty and saying "I don't know" can add excitement and vibrancy to ideas. It shows you're willing to explore new answers and admits you can't possibly have all the answers.
