You Won't Feel Enough Until You Begin | Ep 973
Description
"It's so much easier, and people actually want to help people who don't know things." — Justin Jobity
Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Justin Jobity, for a throwback live coaching conversation about what it takes to start over in a completely new field with zero qualifications. Justin spent a decade in education technology, building someone else's startup from two guys with an idea into a sold company. When the exit came, so did the question he had been avoiding: what do I actually want? In this session, Justin and Niiamah unpack how convenient jobs create quicksand, why being the dumbest person in the room is a superpower, and why the mask you hide behind might be the most honest version of yourself.
Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world
