Hard Conversations You Need to Have With Yourself

In this episode, Josh and Bob hold up the mirror — hard. This isn’t a pep talk; it’s a reality check for anyone frustrated with their career, the market, or leadership.

They unpack the idea of being “Me First” — not in a selfish way, but in a self-accountable way. Instead of waiting for someone else to fix the market, find your job, or create your opportunity, start by asking: What do I need to change? What can I do differently?

The duo call out the tough truths facing agile professionals, coaches, and leaders right now. The golden age of “easy wins” is over. The only sustainable strategy is honest self-reflection and intentional evolution.

If you’ve been waiting for the world to shift back in your favor, stop waiting. The next version of your career starts with you.
