When an unexpected opportunity lands in your lap, how do you know if you should say yes? In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Jonathan Dugger to unpack the wild story of how he bought a golf course, even though he wasn’t a golfer and had no idea how to run one. We talk about what happens when you make a bold move, even if it starts from ignorance more than courage, and how to write your own rulebook when the “right” way doesn’t work. This one’s for the risk-takers, the curious, and anyone figuring it out as they go.

📝 Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode:

  1. Timing is never ideal, but it does matter: While you can’t wait for perfect timing, knowing what’s going on in your life and market can help you assess the real cost of a new venture and keep you mindful of when you might be susceptible to self-sabotage.
  2. Forget the rulebook and write your own: What works on paper or in another business model may not fit your reality. Success often comes from tuning into your audience and trusting your instincts.
  3. Whether your decision comes from courage or ignorance, making it and figuring it out is still a way forward: Not every leap is strategic, but taking action and learning on the fly can build resilience and uncover your real capabilities.
