In this episode, I sit down with keynote speaker, USA TODAY bestselling author, and creator of The HOLLER (Me)THOD™, Judi Holler, to explore why confidence isn't something you wait for—it's something you build through courageous action. Drawing on her background in corporate leadership and professional improvisation with The Second City, Judi shares practical strategies to help you overcome fear, perfectionism, overthinking, and self-doubt so you can step into the opportunities you've been avoiding. In this conversation, we discuss: • Why confidence is built through action—not before it • How to overcome fear of failure and self-doubt • The surprising lessons improv can teach us about leadership • Why perfectionism keeps high achievers stuck • How to stop overthinking and trust yourself more • Practical ways to develop courage in everyday life • The mindset shift that helps you become more visible and impactful If you're a high-achieving professional, entrepreneur, or leader who knows you're capable of more but keeps waiting until you feel "ready," this episode will challenge you to think differently about confidence. Because confidence doesn't come before action. It comes because of it.
