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 resultsFeeling uncomfortable is part of moving forwardYour “one word” isn’t permanent—it evolves as you doWhat gets you started won’t get you to the next stageEarly wins can hide bigger problems if you’re not paying attentionBeing around driven people changes how you thinkSupport systems matter more than most people admitThis 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.
