In this episode, I'm finally telling you why I'm letting go of something I spent 3 years building from nothing. The Owning It and Living It Experience has changed lives. People stop me at events to tell me how this conference opened their eyes to possibilities they never knew existed. So why am I walking away? I'm sharing the real, the honest, and the deeply personal reasons behind this decision. Here's what I cover: → The honest truth about what it really takes to build a conference of this magnitude → Why turning 40 changed everything about what I say yes to → The vivid vision exercise that helped me build my dream life in under 5 years → What the hustle of my 30s actually cost me (and why I'm done with that pace) → The season of surrender I'm in and what it means for the future of OILI → Why "you can do something" and "you should do something" are two different conversations → My favorite memories from the last 2 years of the conference If you've ever felt the weight of something successful and couldn't articulate why it was weighing on you, this episode is for you. The final OILI Experience happens November 13-15, 2026 in Atlanta. If you've been thinking about coming, this is your last chance to be in the room. Tickets at experience.owningitandlivingit.com.
