In this episode, Brit Stueven sits down with leadership coach, writer, and Not Til Now performer Neha Mandhani — but this time, the tables turn.
Neha interviews Brit about the story behind Not Til Now and how an idea that lived in her mind for nearly a decade eventually became a live event celebrating courage, vulnerability, and first-time performances.
Brit shares how she brought this dream to life, along with the fears, doubts, and unexpected moments that shaped the journey along the way.
Together, they explore what happens when ordinary people choose to do something brave in public for the very first time. They talk about the ripple effect of witnessing courage in real time, the surprising feedback from the debut event, and why creating spaces for people to try something new can change more lives than we realize.
They also dive into the practical side of starting something before you feel ready — from launching a podcast to building a creative project step by step — and why Brit believes one simple idea above all else:
Courage doesn’t require credentials.
This episode is for anyone sitting on an idea, a story, or a dream — and wondering if they’re allowed to begin.
