Stop Giving Up on Yourself

How many times have you talked yourself out of something before you really gave yourself a chance?

In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio talks about something he knows firsthand: giving up on yourself, living with doubt, and looking back at opportunities you wish you had handled differently.

He shares some of the chances he feels he let slip away, from West Point to acting and television, and why starting this podcast became something different. This time, he made a promise to himself that he was going to keep going.

Julio also tells the story of competing in a triathlon in San Francisco, getting hit by a wave in the middle of the bay, losing sight of the shore, and nearly giving up. Instead of trying to conquer the entire swim at once, he focused on ten strokes at a time.

That idea becomes the heart of the episode, you do not have to solve your entire life today. Sometimes you just need to make the next move.

Julio talks about focusing on what you can control, giving yourself some grace, learning from failure, and remembering that the people who seem to have everything together usually have years of setbacks behind the version you see today.

He also gets into self-doubt, regret, and why mistakes might be more useful when you stop treating them as things you wish you could erase and start treating them as lessons for what comes next.

You are probably going to doubt yourself. You are probably going to mess something up. You might even get knocked down a few times.

Just get back up one more time than you got knocked down.
