Build Where No One Else Is Building | Ep 987

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"If you want to hold on to your pride and ego, it ain't worth a damn. Go out and get what you want. I don't care. You beg. I don't care." — Theron

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Theron Washington for a Throwback live coaching session that goes somewhere most coaching conversations never go. Theron came in, calling himself a Mind Scrambler. He left with his own mind scrambled.

This session moves through the architecture of an underdog's life: bankruptcy, welfare, the sheriff at the door, $12 to his name, and the day everything shifted. Underneath the story is a deeper pattern about how leaders use fear, doubt, and opposition as fuel and what happens when that engine stops working.

What you'll take away:

Why "be more you" is freedom and "be you" is a trap
The difference between fighting against your past and fighting for your future
How to upgrade your doubts so they pull you forward instead of holding you back

If you are a leader who knows you carry something different, this is your room.

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
