In this reflective episode, PJ and Andy pause to mark a milestone: 21 episodes down.

What started in June 2025 with a simple decision - “let’s just press go” - has become a powerful lesson in momentum, confidence, and learning through action.

They explore why perfection is often the enemy of progress, how confidence is built through doing (not thinking), and why most people underestimate the value of simply staying in the game.

From Roger Federer winning just 53% of the points he ever played, to the importance of lead vs lag measures, mental fitness, trusting your gut, and protecting your time - this conversation is a grounded, honest look at what really moves things forward.

This isn’t a how-to episode. It’s a perspective shift.

A reminder that clarity can come after motion - not before it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1️⃣ Momentum creates clarity - not the other way around

Waiting to feel “ready” keeps most people stuck. Pressing go creates feedback, confidence, and direction you can’t think your way into.

2️⃣ You’ve got to be able to fail to win

Roger Federer won just 53% of the points he ever played. The difference wasn’t perfection - it was his ability to reset and play the next point.

3️⃣ Confidence is evidence-based

Real confidence doesn’t come from affirmations.

It comes from giving the world irrefutable proof that you are who you say you are — by showing up and doing the work.

4️⃣ Consistency beats intensity

Some days are 100%.

Some days are 5%.

Doing something keeps momentum alive — and momentum compounds.

5️⃣ Lead measures matter more than money (early on)

Downloads, conversations, invitations, engagement, feedback - these are signs you’re moving in the right direction long before revenue appears.

6️⃣ Protect your time like it’s your most valuable asset

Because it is.

Time is often given away to people, jobs and tasks that don’t serve us - and we rarely get it back.

7️⃣ Don’t do it alone

Ideas grow faster - and more safely - when shared. Having someone alongside you helps challenge blind spots, build belief, and avoid isolation.
