Hey, it’s Carson and this episode is all about something that’s helped me grow faster than anything else: asking.

I’m talking about the power of just putting yourself out there.

Whether it’s asking for advice, feedback, an opportunity, or just a chance to connect: one brave, intentful, honest message can open doors you never imagined.

I share how a cold LinkedIn message led to meeting a college coach I really admire, plus stories from people like Emma Chamberlain and Ben Pasternak who started their journeys the exact same way.

We’ll also talk about why asking feels scary, but why people say yes way more than you think (like 89% of the time, according to Stanford). I break down how to ask the right way, what to say, and how to move past the fear of rejection.

If you’ve ever held back because you didn’t want to bother someone, well, this episode is DEFINITELY for you.

Let’s talk about how just one ask could change your life.

Listen now & level up your game! 🎧

🎯 The Power of Fear

How to Use It, Face It, and Overcome It

What if fear isn’t something holding you back... but something pointing the way forward?

In this episode, Carson breaks down a mind-blowing story from Yahoo Finance about Steve Jobs and the creation of the first iPhone, and how one moment of fear almost stopped it all.

But it’s not just about tech or business. This story hits really deep because fear shows up everywhere: in sports, at school, in relationships, and in the choices that shape our future.

Carson shares how fear shows up in his own life as a nationally ranked teen archer and student, and how you can flip it from something that freezes you… into fuel for your growth.

This isn’t just talk. It’s real. Relatable. And maybe exactly what you need to hear today.

Spoiler: it was unreal. Totally life-changing!
