Hesitation Kills More Dreams Than Failure: How to Say Yes to the Life You Want with Joel Primus

There is a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

A prime example of this is we all know we should prioritize our wellness, but many of us struggle to keep it at the top of a busy schedule throughout the year.

Today's guest on The Edge of Possible is serial entrepreneur, award winning filmmaker and former elite long-distance runner Joel Primus.

In our conversation, Joel opens up about the heartbreaking injury that ended his Olympic dreams, how he repurposed that elite-athlete energy to build a NASDAQ listed company, and how he’s now turning all of that into his latest brand, Naked Revival.


In This Episode, You Will Learn:
  • How to build a “non-negotiable” routine that fuels both personal and professional growth.
  • The psychological shift required to separate the intent of feedback from the delivery.
  • Why hesitation kills more dreams than failure ever will and how to lean in despite risk.
  • The concept of a “Misogi,” an annual physical challenge that resets your perception of what’s possible.
  • How to navigate the “arrival fallacy” and find joy in the love of the process.
  • The importance of self-forgiveness as a tool to break negative guilt cycles.
