Back to EpisodesThe Power of Asking for Help | Why Pride Is Holding You Back
Description
In this episode of Unmotivated, Trev sits down with Malachai from PDK9's, someone who simply said "yes" to an opportunity.
When Trev opened the doors at World Pet Health, inviting people to come collaborate, learn, and create together, plenty of people saw the opportunity—but only one person showed up. That person was Malachai.
What followed wasn't just a collaboration—it became a lesson in humility, initiative, and the willingness to ask for help when others let pride stand in the way.
Together, they discuss why so many people miss life-changing opportunities because they're afraid of looking inexperienced, being told no, or simply admitting they don't have all the answers. They explore how humility, curiosity, and taking action often separate those who grow from those who stay exactly where they are.
They talk about:
✅ Why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness
✅ How pride quietly limits personal and professional growth
✅ The importance of taking action when opportunities appear
✅ Why showing up matters more than waiting until you're "ready"
✅ How mentorship and collaboration accelerate success
✅ The mindset that creates opportunities instead of missing them
Whether you're building a business, pursuing a new career, creating content, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, this episode is a reminder that opportunities rarely change your life unless you're willing to step through the door.
Sometimes success doesn't belong to the smartest person in the room.
It belongs to the one who was humble enough to show up.
