You’ve Locked Yourself into a Mental Cage, Here is the Key to Escape the Madness EP429

This almost got me fired. 

I was hired as a TV News Reporter for NBC before I even officially had my college diploma. 

My tenacity, determination, and a false sense of confidence allowed me to beat out thousands of others for the job. 

I thought my education and four TV internships prepared me for this job…but doing it in real life for real pay was a completely different level of pressure. 

The deadlines were insane! I had to find interview subjects, do the on-camera interview, verify sources, write the script, edit the piece, and record promos for the story in a matter of a couple of hours…there was no time for perfection. 

While I was barely putting together one story by the hard deadline, the other more experienced reporters had THREE stories done!

After 6 weeks My News Director (Boss) pulled me aside and said,” Carter, you’ve gotta start pulling your weight around here…you need to work faster.”

I was shell-shocked. The only way I could do that was by not caring if it was perfect, and just trusting my initial gut instinct. 

Given my lack of professional journalism experience, I didn’t exactly have that confidence yet. 

So I had to trust it anyway or get fired. No one noticed the difference between my highly perfectionistic news story, to the (what I felt like was sub-par) three “get-er-done” stories. 

Your over-thinking and false belief that it needs to be perfect for it to pay off, have you bottlenecked in your business. 

Unless you’re a surgeon, getting it done is always a solid business plan. 

Waiting and obsessing over it to avoid any potential mistakes, ends up helping no one.  

Often times the mistakes that do happen are the biggest blessings of all (even in the medical world).

EP 760 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BODY) How to Get Your Energy, Body, & Skin Snatched- Even If You Feel Unmotivated right now

If your energy feels inconsistent, your body no longer responds the way it used to, and your skin seems to reflect stress more than confidence, this episode explains why that is happening at the identity and nervous system level.

The 2026 Glow Up Protocol begins with the body because every habit, every discipline pattern, and every glow up is controlled by internal safety signals, not motivation.

This episode is part of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a 6-part identity reset covering the body, the bank account, the business, the brain, the being, and the boundaries. It is designed for burnt out high achievers who are ready to stop pushing harder and start becoming the version of themselves that success actually sticks to.

EP 759 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BRAND) How to Create a Magnetic Personal Brand That Matches Your True Self

Your personal brand is not your logo, your colors, or your social media bio. It is the identity you live from every single day. It is the story you tell about who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe is possible for your life.

This episode is the starting point of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a six part identity transformation playbook designed for high achievers who feel burnt out, disconnected, and ready to deliberately craft a life that feels aligned instead of draining. This is a completely different way to approach personal growth, because nothing changes sustainably until your identity changes first.

Your brand is the hub of the wheel. It is the center that everything else spins from. Your body, your brain, your business, and your relationship with money will never feel stable if the story you tell about yourself is outdated.
