Why Taking Small Steps Toward Big Risks Can Transform Your Life | The Ready State

In this episode, I share how small steps toward big risks can transform your life and unlock your full creative potential. I reflect on pivotal moments in my journey, including abandoning a traditional path in medicine to pursue photography, and how embracing risk and intuition has shaped my career as a creative and entrepreneur.

I dive deep with Kelly and Juliette Starrett, world-class movement experts and co-founders of The Ready State, to explore the mindset shifts, tools, and habits that allow us to embrace uncertainty, reinvent ourselves, and build lives aligned with our true passions. This episode is packed with actionable insights, personal stories, and thought-provoking ideas on everything from intuition and play to the constraints that shape our success.

Some highlights we explore:

• The surprising illusion of safety and why it holds us back from growth.
• How Kelly’s early risk-taking as a river guide shaped his approach to business and life.
• Juliette’s insight on why we should view constraints as opportunities rather than obstacles.
• My journey from med school dropout to Emmy-nominated creative and what it taught me about freedom.

Enjoy!
