Each episode ends with one action you can finish tonight.

For anyone in their first 1%

The First 1% is for anyone in the early stages of something: a career, a business, a new role, a hard decision. No fluff. No hindsight bias. Just practical frameworks and honest takes from someone still in it.

  1. Name the zero.

    Say what you are actually stuck on.

  2. Take the first move.

    One imperfect action beats a perfect plan.

  3. Finish it tonight.

    Every episode ends with a same-night action.

I said it out loud.

“Honestly, it's always been a fear. Of judgment, a fear of whether I could do it.”

Sixty seconds, one take, from the first day of the show.

So I am going to do something that I said at the beginning of the year: to start a podcast. Honestly, it's always been a fear. Of judgment, a fear of whether I could do it, a fear of stumbling on my words. I'm just going to do it. So here it is. What is the first 1%? A lot of people talk about leveling up from one role to another role, from one skill to another skill, but I always find that the one of the hardest parts is not necessarily the leveling up part, but it's actually starting something. So I name it the First 1% for that specific reason. It's all about starting stuff. Story like that, starting something, the first of something, I would love to have you as a guest. I'm excited to record my first episode. Stay tuned.
