Nick Hughes is joined by a good friend Julia Freeland who is an author, change strategist and coach from Seattle, WA. Julia is a passionate educator and change coach, who has spent most of her life working to help people break through limiting beliefs and seemingly impenetrable barriers to become better versions of themselves. Her fascination with change started as she emerged from university equipped with a mechanical engineering degree and zero desire to work as an engineer. Fast forward through 6 career reinventions, including 10 years as a full-time mom, and several monumental ass-kickings which forced her to evolve, and she can confidently say now, she is an expert at reinvention and teaching people to dance through change. Nick and Julia jump into an incredible conversation around her new book Take Your Shoes Off First: A story about a simple idea with the power to change everything. They talk about her journey into discovering patterns of change and adversity, and why she ultimately decided to write the book. They touch on why parables are so powerful and why the story of the shoes brings readers into why taking your shoes off first - remove your narrow lens of life - is so important for us to change and evolve. They end by turning the tables where Julia asked a few questions to get Nick's personal perspectives and experience reading the book. This is an incredible episode, and Julia's knowledge around change and 'removing our shoes to allow different perspectives into our lives' is going to be helpful to any entrepreneur. We hope it helps you today!
