Summary

The Training Arc crew receives more letters to add at the end of any and all social media! More specifically, Jake has officially and successfully completed his PhD🥳🎓The PhD endeavor is anything but an easy one; however, as we know from Full Metal Alchemist, the law of equivalent exchange exists, meaning, Jake has received much in return of all the time, effort, and tears.Many, many tears, from Colby also... we cry a lot here at TTA okay and we are dang proud of that🤣In this episode, we take a look at Jake's PhD journey, allowing him to reflect on what it means to him, some practical takeaways, and much more!Here are some of the main points we touch on:---Celebrating the win; Jake has done it (with flying colors too)!---The importance of mentorship and how it can make all the difference ---It really does take a village; the value of community and collaboration---Overcoming challenges and building confidence: difficult parts of the journey and major takeaways---How to do hard things & why it is important to do them---What does the next Arc look like for Jake? How do you approach a difficult task and/or journey? What helps you break through that initial resistance and take the first step?
