From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Seriously, like, the YouTube channel has changed my life in many ways that I'd never expected. From meeting very inspiring guests to traveling around the world and meeting many of you, many different community members. When I first started out, I was very nervous when I would interview people. I would literally read the question from the screen, and I could just tell that I was very uncomfortable. The more we do something, the more experience we gain, the easier it becomes. And this is where my conversations changed from being interviews to a back and forth conversation. It is okay to fail. At least you tried. And this can apply to any goal, from running your first 5K to running your first marathon to starting a podcast or launching a new business. You can accomplish so much more than you think when you actually aim high and you just go for it. And even if you failed, you've learned so much from that in the process.
