“Sometimes you just have to take the leap and trust that everything is going to be okay.”

Jake Miller had a banner first year as CEO of the Engineered Innovation Group—growing the company, beating revenue goals, and finding a niche that worked for their business. Even with all of this…he still experienced imposter syndrome. Why does this happen to people like Jake, and what can we learn from him?

In this episode, Joe sits down with Jake as he shares his story of realizing that traditional school wasn’t for him at a young age, the steps it took him to be successful, and how learning from your failures will almost always create something even better.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Trusting your intuition—that gut feeling—is likely more accurate than thinking logically. Trust your gut.
• Everybody thinks and learns in their own unique ways. The more and more we put constraints on measuring students' performances, the more it cuts out the fact that everybody thinks differently.
• Get a mentor, be a mentor. Sometimes, all it takes to take the leap is to hear someone say, ‘you can do this'.
