    EP #15: Tapping into Hidden Genius. It’s Not What You Think.

    In this episode of the Self Aware Solopreneur podcast, host Maira delves into what it truly means to be a 'genius.' Drawing from her own journey from corporate life to solopreneurship, she emphasizes the importance of intention over mere ideas. Listeners are encouraged to chase intention, embrace uncertainty, adopt an experimental mindset, and focus on solving problems rather than succumbing to resistance. Stories of figures like Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, and artist Isaiah Zieger illuminate how genius often comes from commitment to one's craft and willingness to push through fear and resistance. Maira invites listeners to reflect on their own 'genius blueprint' and announces an upcoming quiz to help them identify their entrepreneurial strengths.
