Betting On Yourself

In this episode of Refined Focus, host Ben Marcum challenges listeners to reflect on the last time they took a leap of faith in pursuit of their dreams. Through personal anecdotes from his own career transitions—from theater to photography and podcasting—Ben discusses the importance of betting on oneself despite fears and uncertainties. He emphasizes that waiting for the 'right time' is a myth and that action builds confidence. Marcum encourages listeners to take small, actionable steps toward their goals and to confront their fears, focusing on potential rewards rather than risks.
