JR Ridinger

It's like some people may choose dying over public speaking. Right. They're that scared. And I was like, don't make me do this. I'm not really good at it. I've never spoken before. He said, you are the greatest female speaker I've ever heard. Wow. I was like, how is that possible? How's this guy? I'm not going to do well. I can tell you right now. He's like, you are incredible.

He didn't get in the car and say, you know what? Stick to driving. You're right. He didn't get in the car and say, you know what? I still need somebody to help get us there. I'll do the meeting. He said, you're going to do it again. And that type of belief changed my life.

I think what happened was, is that that little bit of belief, I was so used to, like many people, hearing your dad say, you're not capable. You can't do it. Why don't you just do, you know, be a flight attendant? Not that that's not an important job. It just wasn't the job I wanted. Mm-hmm. You know, most often we don't believe in ourselves.

And I think what happens is, is that a lot of that comes from home. And, you know, we raise our kids differently. We've raised our kids to believe that anything's possible, but not everybody's had that benefit. I didn't. And so for to have this man come out of nowhere and say that I was possible, it was like, is he crazy or am I? And I started to believe him just enough to try again.
