The Follow Through

With Avery Brenna Crumrine

Most people don’t have an idea problem. They have a follow through problem. The Follow Through is where we turn ideas into action into results. Hosted by Avery Brenna Crumrine, author of Intention Into Action, this podcast breaks down why you’re not taking action and how to actually change that. From mindset to execution to real results, this is about doing what you want to, not just thinking about it.

    What’s Really Stopping You From Following Through? | Eric Zajac

    What if the reason you’re not following through has less to do with discipline and more to do with the beliefs operating beneath the surface? In this episode of The Follow Through Podcast, Avery sits down with hypnotist and mindset architect Eric Zajac to explore how subconscious beliefs and patterns can shape the way we think, act, and respond to the goals we set for ourselves. Eric breaks down how beliefs formed early in life can continue influencing our decisions as adults, why high achievers often carry patterns like “it’s all on me,” and how awareness can help uncover what may actually be getting in the way. They also talk about hypnosis and self-hypnosis, the difference between setting an intention and making a committed decision, and why you don’t always need to know exactly how something will happen before deciding to move forward. They also dive into motivation, overwhelm, the mind-body connection, and what it looks like to clear the beliefs standing between where you are and where you want to be. If you’ve ever known exactly what you wanted but still found yourself struggling to take action, this conversation may give you a different way to look at what’s keeping you stuck.

    Just Get the Words Out | Mark Leslie on Writing, Publishing & Following Through

    What does it take to keep writing after rejection, finish the book when self-doubt shows up, and build a career that lasts for decades? In this episode of The Follow Through, Avery sits down with writer, editor, speaker, publishing consultant, and Stark Reflections host Mark Leslie Lefebvre, who has published more than 40 books across both traditional and self-publishing. Mark shares how he started taking writing seriously at 13, received his first rejection at 14, and continued writing because he genuinely loved the process, not because success was guaranteed. They talk about knowing when a manuscript is actually finished, why deadlines can be one of the best tools for getting a book done, and the differences between traditional and self-publishing. Mark also shares his perspective on AI, maintaining authenticity as a writer, overcoming resistance and imposter syndrome, and why sometimes the best way through writer’s block is simply to keep getting words onto the page. Whether you have a book idea you haven’t started yet or a half-finished manuscript you’ve been avoiding, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t need the entire path figured out before you begin, you just have to keep writing and keep moving.

    Let Yourself Be a Beginner | Chloe Fogle

    What happens when you stop trying to have everything figured out and start saying yes to opportunities that help you grow? In this episode of The Follow Through, Avery sits down with Chloe Fogle, a fourth-year San Diego State University student majoring in Child and Family Development with a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies. Chloe is deeply involved across campus, including leadership roles within the Honors College, Dance Marathon, Women in Medicine, and Pi Beta Phi. Chloe shares how getting involved outside the classroom helped shape her college experience, change the direction of her career, and teach her to become more comfortable with rejection, uncertainty, and being a beginner. She also talks about learning when to say no, finding accountability through strong teams, and why trying something, even when you are unsure where it will lead, can completely change your path. From raising money for Rady Children’s Hospital to helping younger students find their place at SDSU, Chloe’s story is a reminder that you don’t need to have your future perfectly mapped out, you just have to be willing to take the next step.

    From Watcher to Doer: Turning Inspiration Into Action | Sheevaun Moran

    In this episode of The Follow Through, Avery sits down with Sheevaun Moran, founder of Energetic Solutions, author of 18 books, and entrepreneur who has built and sold four businesses and worked with more than 35,000 business owners. They talk about the difference between Doers, Watchers, and Wanderers and what it actually takes to move from thinking, observing, or staying busy into taking meaningful action. Sheevaun shares why momentum matters, why clarity often comes through doing, and how putting a stake in the ground can help turn an idea into something real. She also shares the story behind writing 18 books, why she believes a book should come from a message you genuinely need to share, and how one idea can open doors you never expected. Sheevaun introduces her newest creation, a voice-based tool designed around the idea that our voices can reveal more about what may be keeping us stuck and help us move back into action. If you’ve been watching, wandering, or waiting for the perfect moment to begin, this conversation is a reminder that eventually, you have to choose to become the Doer.

    You Can’t Get Opportunities You’re Not in the Room For

    In this episode of The Follow Through, Avery Brenna Crumrine explores why opportunities usually aren’t as random as they seem. More often, they come from putting yourself in the right rooms, starting conversations, following up, asking, applying, and being willing to hear no along the way. She also talks about the relationship between rejection and opportunity: the more chances you give yourself, the more likely you are to get the yes that matters. If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to come to you, this episode is a reminder to ask a different question: What are you doing to put yourself in the path of one? Because you can’t control when someone says yes, but you can control how many chances you give yourself. Connect With Avery Crumrine https://averycrumrine.com https://instagram.com/averycrumrine

    Behind Every Success Is Resistance | Stacey Lauren

    What if the resistance you're feeling isn't a sign to stop, but a sign you're doing something that matters? In this episode, I'm joined by my mom, Stacey Lauren, for a conversation about the side of success that most people never see. After building a $35 million business, speaking around the world, and helping thousands of people create impact, she recently finished writing her first book. But what surprised both of us was that success didn't eliminate the resistance, it just looked different. We talk about the fear, self-doubt, perfectionism, and overthinking that showed up throughout the writing process, why those feelings don't disappear as you become more successful, and what it actually takes to follow through when you'd rather put it off. I hope this conversation reminds you that the people you admire aren't successful because they don't experience resistance. They're successful because they choose to move through it anyway. 🎙️ The Do The Thing Podcast (where we started Stacey's book live on the podcast)https://open.spotify.com/episode/1uVIt48DOUwZWPnwZ5ch6E?si=ffoJJF7gQcGIQMC8tHT1zQ 🎟️ Future of Leadership (Free Virtual Event)https://peoplepartypalooza.com/?ref=avery-crumrine 👤 Connect with Stacey LaurenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/staceylauren/Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dothethingcollaboration 👤 Connect with Avery Crumrine Website: https://averycrumrine.com https://instagram.com/averycrumrine https://www.facebook.com/averybrennacrumrine/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/averycrumrine/
