Description

In this episode of the Brand Up Podcast, we explore a simple but powerful exercise: choosing one word that reflects who you are right now—and who you’re becoming next.

What starts as a group discussion turns into a real conversation about resilience, ambition, creativity, discomfort, and growth. You’ll hear personal stories about starting over in new countries, chasing long-term goals, handling uncertainty, and learning how progress often feels lonely before it feels rewarding.

We also unpack why:

• Growth often creates distance before it creates results
• Feeling uncomfortable is part of moving forward
• Your “one word” isn’t permanent—it evolves as you do
• What gets you started won’t get you to the next stage
• Early wins can hide bigger problems if you’re not paying attention
• Being around driven people changes how you think
• Support systems matter more than most people admit

This episode is less about tactics and more about mindset, identity, and the internal shifts that come before real progress. If you’re in a season of change, uncertainty, or pressure to “figure it out,” this conversation will hit home.
