Executives Uncut

Excited to welcome onto to podcast Colleen Blum! She is the VP at Combs & Company and Host of The Try & Stop Me Podcast.This episode will be about how she got to where she is today. She's got a passion for career motivation, health, and mindset similar to me so this should be a good one!Together Sarah and Colleen talk about how they both "googled" their way to where they are now. They talk about the principle behind that mindset which is that things don't have to be perfect to get started. Colleen started her podcast as a perfectionist as most of us do with anything in life. She says "We're not afraid of failing, we're afraid of failing in front of other people". In her tips for the audience, she emphasizes ideas of not being afraid of failure, which is difficult to come to terms with, checking in with yourself constantly, and consistency in general when working towards a new goal.
