We’ve all been guilty of putting off something we should be doing, whether it be simple things like getting up in the morning or bigger things like pursuing our dreams. It is easy to get trapped in waiting for the “right time” to do something when by now, the time in question is way overdue. Sometimes, we get stuck in the “excuse zone” but we are only allowed to stay in it momentarily. Now is the time to get out! But how? 

This week, Daniel sits with the hosts of the Car Guy Coffee Podcast, Lou Ramirez and Fred Lennartz to discuss how to embrace the uncomfortable and uproot the limitations imposed on us. Fred and Lou also share the 5 core values of a “solutionary” and the 3 F’s that can help you build courage, get to the next level, and keep growing.
