Ever imagined jumping from your backyard trampoline at the age of five to representing your country in beach volleyball on a global platform? That's precisely the thrilling journey of our guest, Christie Jenkins, an extraordinary athlete and motivational speaker. She's a trampoline champion, a pro beach volleyball player, and a CrossFit Games athlete, who at 23, decided beach volleyball was the sport you could play in your 30s and within three months, was playing with a top Australian player.

What does it take to transition from non-revenue generating sports to venture capital? Skill, courage, and a few different types of confidence, according to Christie. We dive deep into these intriguing concepts - temporary confidence, confidence based on competence, and meta-confidence. We unpack how Christie harnessed these insights from her athletic career to navigate the world of venture capital. Reflect on how these experiences can help you approach life with confidence and develop critical people skills for business success.

Retirement from sports - an emotional roller-coaster, a quest for new passion, or an opportunity for reinventing oneself? Christie shares her heartfelt experience of retiring from not one, but three sports. She delves into her process of untangling her passion from progress and how she redefined herself post-retirement. And finally, we underline the power of action, its potential to solve anything, and how courage is all about taking action despite fear.
