Expertise from the Edge comes from a journey filled with failure, wrong turns, detours, leaning into fear and learning that uncomfortable is the only way to opportunity. And because of ALL of it, I managed to achieve incredible success and expertise. If you are not leading from the edge you are simply taking up too much space. Let me help you do the same!
