In this episode, Angus Nelson, author of Confidence Comes Later, discusses his journey of building confidence through action and embracing uncertainty. Angus, an entrepreneur and personal development coach, explores how to disrupt your life by taking bold steps instead of waiting for confidence to appear, and how this can lead to personal growth and transformation.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The Myth of Confidence: Angus explains why confidence is often misunderstood as something you wait for, and how true confidence is built through action, learning, and perseverance, not certainty.

• Certainty vs. Confidence: We discuss how the need for certainty can hold us back, and how embracing uncertainty allows us to take the next step, even when we can’t predict the future.

• The Power of Small Sprints: Angus introduces the concept of short-term “sprints” to focus on incremental progress, stressing that it’s the small, consistent steps that lead to big changes over time.

• The Fluid Self: We talk about the importance of remaining fluid and adaptable, whether in your career or personal life, and how flexibility allows for growth and overcoming obstacles.

• Disrupting Yourself vs. Waiting for Life to Disrupt You: Angus discusses how proactively disrupting your own comfort zone leads to growth, whereas life’s inevitable disruptions can leave you unprepared if you aren’t willing to make the first move.

Angus shares powerful insights on how to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start taking action, creating momentum, and embracing the lessons that come from both success and failure. His approach will inspire you to live boldly and confidently.
