In this episode of Evolve Ventures, we challenge the belief that you need to “feel ready” before taking action. Through honest personal stories and powerful psychological insights, we explore what truly drives change and why waiting for motivation might be what’s holding you back. You’ll learn how momentum begins, how your brain miscalculates risk, and a simple framework to help you take action, even when it’s hard.
Here’s the episode related to today’s discussion and why we highly recommend listening to it as well:
