In this episode of Chu on This!, Dr. Katie W. Chu sits down with leadership expert, author, entrepreneur, and speaker Tiana Sanchez for a deeply engaging and honest conversation about boldness, calling, faith, and the transformative role of failure.

Tiana shares her journey from being laid off during the 2011 recession to launching her own business and stepping into her purpose — even when it terrified her. Together, she and Dr. Chu explore what it means to make bold moves, how mindset shapes outcomes, and why failure should be viewed as an experience rather than an identity.

They also dive into the challenges of entrepreneurship, the courage it takes to speak hard truths, the influence of legacy, and the moments that feel chaotic but ultimately push us toward clarity. From business to faith to personal growth, this episode is filled with wisdom, laughter, vulnerability, and rich storytelling.

This is a conversation about owning your story, stepping out in faith, and embracing the divine delays, detours, and disruptions that shape who you become.

1. Failure isn’t final — it’s an experience, not an identity.
Tiana reframes failure as something you experience, not something you are. Shifting from “I failed” to “I experienced a failure” changes how we move forward.

2. Boldness is courage in motion.
Courage is the desire to act. Boldness is taking the step. Whether launching a business or speaking publicly, bold moves require movement, not perfection.

3. Legacy matters — what you build now becomes someone else’s blueprint.
Legacy isn’t about fame. It’s about impact. Your intentional choices become the seeds of possibility for others.

“Sometimes you just have to leap and grow your wings on the way.”

“Boldness is an action — it’s courage in motion.”

“Divine delay. If something doesn’t go your way, it may be saving you from something you can’t see yet.”
