## Resource

"The hard thing is not making it happen. The hard thing is making the decision." — Dom Moss Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dom, for a throwback live coaching session recorded during the early days of COVID-19 in New York City. Dom has moved from France to London to Barcelona to Manila to Bali to Hong Kong to New York, gotten a green card from scratch, and made every impossible thing happen. But the book she is writing, the one everyone around her believes in, is not moving. In this session, Niiamah finds out why: the medium is not the book. She is. And the message she needs to hear is not "shine." It is "you shine." Not a command. A fact. Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
