In this episode, Amber and Steven dive into what it really means to take risks in business and in life. From opening a gym at 22 years old with 55,000 dollars in credit card debt, to buying nearly 200,000 square feet of warehouse space during Covid, to placing a 1.6 million dollar inventory bet on a brand they believed in, they unpack the real emotions, sacrifices, and decisions behind the highlight reel.
Steven shares how taking risks early in life feels different when you have nothing to lose, and how risk becomes more calculated as you grow. They talk about pivoting during uncertain seasons, including how selling directly to homeowners during Covid kept the business alive when the world shut down. They explain why action eliminates fear and why sitting still during hard seasons is what truly destroys momentum.
Amber shares her own story of moving to North Carolina at 23 without knowing a single person and starting her real estate career from scratch. Together they reflect on how side hustles funded bigger dreams, how multiple income streams create stability, and why supporting each other’s vision has allowed them to take bold steps forward.
This episode is about trusting your instincts, being willing to grind when it is uncomfortable, and understanding that big rewards often require bold moves. Risk is not recklessness. It is belief backed by work.
If you are standing at the edge of a big decision, this conversation will challenge you to bet on yourself and move forward with confidence.
