In this episode, Ricky Locke interviews Bev Holden, co-founder of the Clear Thinking Partnership. They discuss the unobvious things that Bev struggles with, focusing on confidence and asking for help. Bev challenges the concept of confidence, stating that it is not a real thing and that she doesn't believe she needs it to accomplish tasks. She also shares her difficulty in asking for help in certain situations, often due to a fear of judgment or a desire to maintain a certain perception. The conversation highlights the importance of questioning societal conditioning and living in the present moment.

Takeaways

• Confidence is not a prerequisite for success; it is a concept that can be challenged and redefined.
• Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it is an opportunity for growth and connection.
• We create our own conditions and constraints in life, but we also have the power to question and change them.
• Living in the present moment allows us to let go of past and future worries and focus on what truly matters.
