In this conversation, we break down something most people never talk about. The Expert Trap: The more experienced you become, the harder it gets to grow. Not because you can’t, but because you don’t want to look like a beginner again. And that right there?That’s what keeps people stuck. This Episode Challenge: Take 5 minutes today. Step back.
