One book that had a big impact on us is Atomic Habits by James Clear. It provides such insightful and actionable frameworks on how to build habits that stick.
This book was a great reminder that transformation comes gradually through daily discipline. Highly recommend!

It's so easy to talk yourself out of pursuing a new idea or opportunity because you're worried about failing. But the cost of inaction is higher than the cost of failure.
When we let fear hold us back from trying, we miss out on learning, growth and progress. Those missed chances compound over time.
Next time you feel afraid to take a chance on something new - a podcast episode idea, a partnership, an event, a product launch - remember this quote.
