Ep 06: Behind the Name: Ready, Fire, Aim.

Ready, Fire, Aim isn't a framework I invented. It's the way my Papaw raised me — the man who taught himself to fly an airplane, went to Alaska to dig for gold, and built a world-class cutting horse facility in a town of 387 people in Mississippi. He was, in the most loving way I can possibly say, delusionally confident he could pull off anything he set his mind to. And he did.In this episode, I tell you the story of the iconic Garry Hughes — the lessons he was teaching me before I knew I was learning, the line he repeated to me from the time I was four years old, and the philosophy that became the spine of everything I do as a brand strategist. I also finally teach the framework that's been running underneath this whole show: Ready, Fire, Aim. What each phase means. Why most founders get stuck. And how to actually use it.If you've ever needed permission to start before you feel ready, this one's for you.
