Episode Details

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Alexis Arden for a throwback live coaching session that exposes a pattern most leaders never name out loud. Alexis has a global movement she can see in full detail. She also cannot imagine starting it. Underneath that contradiction lives a vow she made as a child, never to let career come before family. Watching A-list clients pay that exact price for a decade only welded the rule deeper. Now her own vision is the thing the rule is firing against.

This conversation unpacks why the vision itself is the problem, not her courage.

What you'll take away:

• Why the cost you fear most is usually a rule written by a younger version of you
• How to spot the life preserver you have already outgrown
• Why a vision that asks you to abandon your top value is not the vision yet

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.
