When Fear Stops Being Your Compass | Ep 986

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and April Cunningham for a throwback live coaching session about what happens when the compass you have been using to find your edge stops pointing anywhere new. April left an 18-year tech career, built two businesses, went live online, and started dating again after divorce. She came in asking: what's left to conquer?

What surfaced was bigger than the next mountain.

In this session:

• Why fear stops being a useful compass once you have mastered it
• The hidden cost of protecting other people from your mess
• Where the next edge actually lives when the visible ones are gone

If you are a leader who has already done the scary, visible things and you are wondering what is next, this one is for you.

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.
