Speaking With Spencer

Every journey starts with a single step, or, in this case, a single stroke through the water. But when the waves are too high and the storm is too strong, it’s easy to believe that staying still is safer than trying to move forward.In this episode, I share the story of a sailor, a friend whose struggles became the tides that held him back. But the first step to succeeding is to try. The result of trying is learning, and the result of learning is the clarity to understand the next step. When you understand the next step and keep repeating the process, success becomes inevitable.This is a story about perseverance, about what happens when fear keeps us from taking that first step, and about how sometimes, the only way to find your way through the storm is to start moving. Because in the end, sinking isn’t failure, refusing to try is.
