ANECDOTE

Kacia's Non-traditional Story

Kacia Fitzgerald felt her story wasn't inspiring because she lacked a "back against the wall" moment.
Despite career success, she felt uncomfortable, like she was in the wrong lane, leading her to explore other ventures.

INSIGHT

Discomfort as a Catalyst

Discomfort, even in seemingly good situations, can be a signal to take action.
Embracing discomfort and pursuing your passions can lead to fulfillment and connect you with others who share similar feelings.

ADVICE

Benefit Extension for Motivation

When motivation wanes, consider who benefits from your pursuits and who gets hurt if you quit.
Tie your vision to something bigger than yourself to stay driven.
