Ep #113: When You’re the First to Do Something New In Your City (And It Feels Kinda Scary)
Apr 08, 2025
When you do something new in your city — offering something no one else is offering, or doing it in a totally unique way — it can feel exciting and straight-up scary.
Your brain might start to second-guess:
“Will people even want this?”
“Will they get it?”
“Should I do it this way… or just do it like everyone else?”
This episode is a mindset reset for the moments when doubt creeps in — because deep down, you know you’re actually onto something big.
Tune into this episode to learn:
- What to expect when you’re the first to do something new in your market
- How to hold your belief when your brain starts to offer doubt
- Real examples of how to market and message something your audience doesn’t understand yet
