Help the People Already in Front of You | Hayden Lee | Ep 960

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"I want to work with finishers. I want to help people finish. I think I'm called to work with the finishers." — Hayden Lee

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Master Certified Coach Hayden Lee for a throwback conversation that goes deep on the inner journey behind the outer success. In this episode, Hayden unpacks the "low hanging fruit" trap, the belief that serving the people already in front of you is somehow beneath your mission, and discovers live in conversation the distinction that reframes everything: he's not built to work with starters. He's built to work with finishers. If you're a leader, coach, or world-changer asking whether you're playing the right game, this one will hit.

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.
