What if the pressure you’re under is exactly what you need to grow? In today’s powerful episode, Kevin and Alan get real about what it feels like to be thrown into situations you're not ready for and how that pressure can create the foundation for lifelong skills, character, and clarity. From managing impossible jobs to leading teams and facing harsh truths, this is a reminder that sometimes being in over your head is the best place to be.
