For a long time, I thought being professional meant holding it all together. Smile. Deliver. Keep your personal stuff out of it.
But in talking with Jude Charles, I realized something different: Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do… is stop hiding.
Jude shared a moment I can’t stop thinking about.
He was sitting on the edge of his bed, head in his hands, watching his car get repossessed for the second time.
Five years into business, he was barely making $20K a year, and then his phone rang.
It was a client calling to say the documentary he made for her had just helped her cross $1,000,000 in revenue.
He could’ve taken that as proof he didn’t belong. Instead, it became the turning point.
Because the difference wasn’t in his talent, it was in what he’d been holding back.
This episode is about what happens when you finally let people see all of you.

The Lessons:

• Show Up Unapologetically and Wholeheartedly
• Your Purpose is Found Through the Process, Not Outside of It
• Vulnerability is the Gateway to Human Connection and Leadership

Being transparent isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength. It’s the reason people trust you in the first place.

Be true to yourself,
Steven
