How To Find Your “Yes” In A World Of “No”

How To Find Your “Yes” In A World Of “No” | Episode 574You know that idea you keep replaying in your head, the one you swear you will start when you have more time, better gear, more money, or more support? I want to challenge that story. I’m Justin Alan Hayes, and this upbeat Voices for Voices message is about doing the thing anyway, even if someone has called it “just a hobby,” even if you have heard “no,” and even if you are worried what people will say.We get practical about how to build momentum by anchoring your effort to real interests. I share how I went from not liking reading to getting pulled in by subjects I actually cared about, and how that same approach helped me choose stronger topics for school presentations and projects. If you’re a student, creator, or educator, you’ll hear simple ways to make learning and teaching more engaging by using examples that spark genuine curiosity.Then I tell a story that still sticks with me: getting to play guitar with an inclusive orchestra connected to a nonprofit supporting musicians some people label as having disabilities. It wasn’t about getting paid or being the main person. It was about showing up, being part of something bigger, and watching what happens when people who are often told “no” finally get a real “yes.”We also talk mindset: comparison can wreck your confidence fast, so I share how I stay focused after building hundreds of episodes without chasing fame or external validation. If you’ve been sitting on a dream, let this be your push.
