About this episode

Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio discuss the importance of taking action and aligning with core values to build a successful business.

In this episode of the Why Not Today? Podcast, I sit down with Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio to talk about what it really takes to move from idea to action. They share how they went from feeling misaligned in their work to building and selling a successful business in just a few years. What made the difference was simple, but powerful. They stopped talking about it and took the first step. This is where so many people get stuck. It is not a lack of ideas or ability. It is staying in the planning stage too long instead of taking action. We also dive into the ideas behind their books The Business of You and Lead It Like Lasso , focused on self awareness, core values, and the human skills that truly set you apart. What You’ll Hear: Why your core values are the foundation for success How taking action before you feel ready creates momentum Why failure is actually feedback that helps you grow Marnie shares why you cannot let perfect get in the way of done, and Nick reframes failure as the path forward, not something to avoid.
