The Goal Digger Podcast

Have you ever wondered how much impact one person can really have on the world—or in their business? My guest today, Sharon McMahon, is here to remind us that even the smallest among us can be mighty. Sharon, known to over a million as ‘America’s Government Teacher’ on Instagram, has built a community that thrives on fact-based, non-partisan information in an era of confusion and division. But her impact doesn’t stop there. She’s raised millions for causes that matter, hosts the award-winning podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, and is the author of the Substack newsletter The Preamble. In her new book, “The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History,” Sharon tells the stories of everyday individuals who shaped the future of this country—proving that you don’t need traditional power or fame to make a difference. Today, we discuss the lessons from these unsung heroes and how they apply to entrepreneurship.

We’ve all heard the saying: “Start before you’re ready.” But how often do we really take that advice to heart? Today’s episode is a little different—and really special—because I’m taking you inside Chapter 15 of my book, How Are You, Really. Grab your copy at http://howareyoureallybook.com! In this chapter, I dive deep into the fear of starting imperfectly, finding the courage to take that first step toward your dreams, and why taking messy, brave action—despite your doubts—is the secret to growth. Whether you’re launching a new business, starting a podcast, or pursuing a passion that’s been on your heart, this chapter is all about embracing the imperfection that comes with the journey. And trust me, I know a thing or two about that. Starting this podcast was anything but perfect, but here we are, over 800 episodes later, proof that action creates clarity.

Have you ever stopped to think about how every single decision you make today is either a step toward success or a step away from it? Every choice, no matter how small, compounds over time—and for us entrepreneurs, those choices can mean the difference between realizing our dreams or watching them slip further out of reach. My guest today, Eric Thomas, knows this truth better than most. As the #1 motivational speaker in the world, and a New York Times best-selling author, he’s a go-to problem solver for some of the world’s biggest corporations, sports franchises, and universities! Eric’s latest project, the You Owe You 365 Devotional, and the accompanying 30-day challenge at https://youoweyousummit.com/ are all about getting intentional with your daily decisions to put yourself first—because let’s face it, those decisions determine whether or not your dreams become reality. In today’s conversation, we discuss how entrepreneurs can apply this mindset to their own lives and businesses, and what it takes to build habits and routines that lead to long-term success.

Whether it’s in your business or your personal life, the pressure to do everything perfectly can be overwhelming. We convince ourselves that if we’re not going all-in, it’s not worth doing. But here’s the truth: perfectionism isn’t the key to success—consistency is.

I’m going to share a bit of my own story, how I let go of perfectionism and started focusing on small, consistent improvements instead. And let me tell you, that shift has been life-changing for both my business and personal health.

One of the things I love most about our community is how we always keep it real about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship… and Vanessa Lau embodies this spirit in such a profound way. Vanessa Lau is a creator and entrepreneur on a mission to inspire business owners and creators to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives. Last year, she took a step back to reset, and in doing so, she redefined what success means to her. Vanessa's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take a break. In this episode, Vanessa and I are chatting about the common traps in business and how these led to her dissolving her business for a year and how to follow your intuition if you find yourself in need of a break. She also shares key lessons she learned about her health, relationships, and most importantly herself when she stripped her business away from her identity, and the changes she’s made in her business this time around to avoid making the same mistakes that led to her burnout! This conversation is about to leave you feeling inspired and empowered to protect your peace… no matter what it takes. I can’t wait for you to hear Vanessa’s insights about redefining success so click play now!
