In this episode of In The Know with Tony Reeves, I break down one of the biggest obstacles professionals face at career crossroads: the psychological weight of the unknown. Drawing from my own journey—from running my law firm to becoming a judge—I share how fear, comfort, and bias toward the “known” almost kept me from preparing for a life-changing opportunity. You’ll learn: Why we naturally favor the “known” (even when it limits us) How failing to prepare for opportunity creates unnecessary stress The real way to evaluate career decisions (it’s not what you think) Why every decision is the “right” decision—if you own it How to turn both success and mistakes into career leverage If you’re facing a career pivot, considering a new opportunity, or stuck between comfort and growth—this episode is for you. 🎯 Call to Action: Explore my Career Crossroads Collection and other resources at my Fourthwall store to help guide your next move.
