And in two years, if we haven't made you LA Bureau producer, what have you really lost? And I thought, well, two years in my 20s. And so I gave him my notice. He called me impatient. I just knew, John, that I wasn't enjoying my life. I was enjoying my job, but not my life, my free time. And so I gave him my notice and I quit ESPN, an absolute dream job and drove cross country.

And I didn't know what I was going to do. I just knew I wasn't going to shovel snow. And when I got to Los Angeles, ESPN gave me some freelance work. As soon as I arrived and by the end of the year, I had been hired back at ESPN as LA bureau producer for double the salary. And that taught me because I didn't make the decision for money.

I made it for my life to be able to enjoy the quality of my life and having more money was an unexpected consequence.

Yes. So here's the first thing to consider. When I talk about risks, I define in the book that there's risks that are reckless and risks that are worth it. And risks that are worth it is anything that drives you closer to your values, vision, and who you want to be. That leaving my job and moving across country was worth it to me at 26 when I didn't own any property, didn't have a family, no kids.

If I were to do that same thing now, that would be reckless. So first define those two. Then as you're talking about, you may have somebody who's making a nice living and really not enjoying their work, but they're thinking, well, if I leave this, that could be reckless for my family.

Then you want to explore what it is that you really enjoy and that you're good at and how you can get there in a worth it kind of way. And for me, if you have someone who's unhappy, let's say in their job or their current situation, what exactly is it about it that you're unhappy with? Is it the actual work? Is it the location? Is it the people that you work with? Is it the field altogether?

Because you need to pinpoint what it is in order to change it. And then I have a series of exercises throughout the book to help you narrow the focus. Because I'll tell you this, John. There's always, after all my research and everybody I've talked to, there's always one of four things that stands between us and the thing we want to do, the life we want to lead, what we want our life to look like.

It always comes down to one of these four. Fear, time, money, or your inner critic. Every time. And so diving into those and exploring what it is that's been stopping you can be incredibly powerful in breaking free.
