Two Different Paths - Both With Massive Success
This episode is a recap of my two recent interviews with Jessica Burgio and Kristeen Barker—and I had to sit down and talk this through with you because both of these women have built incredible success… just in completely different ways.
Early on, Jessica was blessed to have people continually see potential in her that she didn’t fully see in herself yet. And instead of brushing that off or playing small, she leaned into it. That led to her joining the right rooms and surrounding herself with the right people that helped to launch her various careers
As Jessica's awareness pushed her into bigger rooms, more conversations, more opportunities, she realized that needed to create these rooms for women everywhere. And so her coaching business took off!
Kristeen’s story is completely different… and honestly, just as powerful.
She followed the path. She did everything she was “supposed” to do as she prepared to be a doctor and specialist. She put in the years, the work, the education… and when she finally got to the end, she just knew—this doesn’t feel right. There had to be more.
And instead of listening to what the so-called “experts” told her she had to do next… she had the courage to say no to that path and forge a brazen new one forward.
She didn’t abandon what she built—she expanded it.
And now? She’s not only a practicing nephrologist, she’s also creating entirely new rooms for other doctors to learn in… building courses, teaching, and helping them pass their exams and grow in ways that didn’t exist before.
Two completely different paths. Same result: massive success.
And this is where I’m going to challenge you a little… if you’re not putting yourself in the right rooms, around the right people, you’re cutting yourself off from opportunities you don’t even know exist yet.
There isn’t one right way. There isn’t one perfect path.
But if they can build what they’ve built? You can too.
Go listen to their full interviews after this… but start here.
