Do you feel like you’re just not getting any better? — It’s a common feeling, and one that can make us feel like we’re stuck. We don’t know what to do, and we don’t know how to change.
The problem is that we often don’t know what “better” even means. If we were able to define it, then maybe we could make some progress on it—but until then, we’ll just keep spinning our wheels and trying new things and hoping they work out.
And if that’s the case, then where do we start? The secret? It starts with YOU! The key to success is within us and our willingness to do the hard work.
YOU Can Do Hard Things author, Cynthia Caughie puts the emphasis on the word YOU. In this episode, Daniel and Cynthia discuss how we can build confidence and courage with grit, how we can let go of our past and live for the future, what can help awaken our entrepreneurial spirit, and why we should aim for new experiences.
But in order to take our first step, we should have a clear picture of what we really want to achieve. This begs the question, “Who am I? What am I?” Tune in as Daniel and Cynthia helps us answer these life-changing questions.
“I choose to live out of my imagination and not my memory. So many times, we live in the past. It's not where I am. I'm going to the future. So I'm going to live out of my imagination.” -Cynthia Caughie

Cynthia purchased Homerun Pizza restaurant in 2018 after working as a server there for 13 years. In the short 3 years of ownership, Cynthia herself and the business have seen some rough times – losing her own home in the Tubbs fire, rebuilding that home, the Kincade fire, PG&E shut-offs, a pandemic lockdown, and the unknowns of what comes next. And yet, she continues to thrive as a restaurant owner in the Sonoma County community.
A master at inspiring her employees and connecting the community, Cynthia has persevered as a restaurant owner through hard times and now the pandemic. She has pushed through it all with a smile and a kind word, uniting our community while serving the best pizza with her contagious optimism.
