“Get good at trying.” Barry O’Reilly, entrepreneur and author (among other things), discusses how we can get out of own way. He shares the importance of unlearning old behaviors that are getting in our way, dreaming big but starting small, celebrating effort instead of results, knowing when to persist and when to pivot, and getting comfortable with trying new things.

This episode is sponsored by NutriFitt. I tried NutriFitt’s whey protein supplement after meeting the founder and hearing his journey and commitment to quality. I like to support up and coming businesses so I gave it a try and was impressed. It mixes immediately and the chocolate flavor actually tastes like chocolate, not like some chemical engineering committee’s overdone attempt. It has no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. Plus, it includes probiotics and is easy on the stomach.
