066: Self-Validation, Trusting Yourself, and How to Start Adding Value Today with Jake Ducey

At the young age of 19, my guest today started sharing his message of inspiration and how to create a life on your own terms.

At only 25 years old Jake Ducey is a two-time published author with Penguin/Random-House (The Purpose Principles and Profit From Happiness), a leading speaker for his generation having been featured in TEDx Youth, hired by mega organizations such as Nielsen and Accenture, and a leader who has already inspired countless thousands of young people to seek meaningful career success and to make a difference in the world.

I love Jake’s message for so many reasons, and most of all, he is living proof that no matter how young (or old) you are, you can always find a way to add value to the world with what you know and believe.

We dive into topics like

  • Why you are never too young to get started
  • What motivated Jake to start
  • How to create and not judge yourself in the process
  • Recognizing the difference between fear and intuition
  • Balancing the creative side of your business with the “business” side
  • Staying focused and committing for the long term
  • Why you don’t need a mentor to get started
  • How do develop resourcefulness by setting up systems
  • Learning from other people’s journey
  • The evolution of Jake’s career from writer to speaker to coach and beyond
  • What Jake thinks is the number one thing holding us back
  • How to navigate through stress and fear
  • Putting fear in the right context according to your highest values
  • The different types of stress
  • What Jake would have done differently in his business and the building of his brand
