The universe isn’t blocking you—it’s asking if you’re serious

TK & Goliath

A spinning loading wheel almost stopped the show before it started. That’s where the story gets good. We walk you through the exact moments where excitement met resistance—fifteen failed names, a DIY logo outside our comfort zone, and an Apple Podcasts setup that refused to cooperate—and how those setbacks became a simple, repeatable system for finishing what you start.
We get personal about why “Grounded But We Up” earned its place, how to translate a strong concept into a workable visual when you’re not a designer, and what to do when a platform gate keeps your launch date. Along the way, we unpack a bigger arc: finishing a bachelor’s degree after years of detours while working two jobs and learning to redesign time instead of relying on willpower alone. This isn’t hustle theater. It’s practical perseverance—breaking a multi-year vision into quarterly milestones, then into the next two-hour task you can actually complete today. You’ll hear how to set “quit rules” that protect momentum, how to timebox troubleshooting, and how to turn outside doubt into focus without turning defensive.
If you’ve got a goal sitting on your list—start a podcast, publish your first video, level up your brand—this conversation gives you both a nudge and a plan. We talk naming strategy, creative iteration, platform setup, realistic scheduling, and the mindset shifts that keep you moving when progress is messy and slow. Share your current hurdle or a win you’re proud of, tag someone who needs this push, and help build a feed where we pull each other forward.
