LeapCon 2025: Ilana Golan on Taking Bold Risks That Lead to Unstoppable Career Growth | E92

But one of the things that people don't share enough is how hard it is.

When I held my mom's hand, I promised that I want to be in the arena. I knew I wanted something bigger in my life. So that was already decided.

The second thing you need to understand is that there's always going to be naysayers, haters, critics. Always. Does that hurt? Absolutely. But if they're not in the arena with you, I don't give a damn. Or at least I will try not to. I will listen. I will listen to all the feedback. I always want to get better. There's always things that we can learn.

But I can already guarantee that the people that are in the arena are not the people that will criticize you because they know what it takes. They will be the people that will hold your hand or hold on and double check that you're okay. Okay, so just realize the people that are criticizing you are probably not where you want to go. So don't give it a wait, okay?

That was probably the hardest thing for me. Again, when you get into the arena, it is really, really hard. But I want you to think of names of people who inspire you.
