About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of resilience and how falling down and getting up is a crucial part of personal growth.
If you study the lives of people who accomplish meaningful things, you’ll notice a pattern. They fall down.And they get up.Then they fall down again.And they get up again. That cycle isn’t failure. It’s growth in motion. In this episode of Born to Win, I talk about resilience — and why personal growth always includes uncertainty, discomfort, and the occasional stumble. Somewhere along the way, many of us forget something we understood naturally as children: falling is part of learning. A child learning to walk falls again and again, and no one tells them walking might not be for them. Instead, everyone cheers. But as adults, we often interpret setbacks as a signal to stop. In this episode, I explore why resilience is built through motion — not perfection — and why learning to move through fear, doubt, and discomfort is essential for real progress. I also talk about: • Why growth rarely happens in a straight line• How small daily habits build resilience• Why caring for your body and relationships strengthens your foundation• The role of the “Terror Barrier” when pursuing something new• Why setbacks are feedback — not failure Every time you move through fear and continue forward…
