What if we stopped fearing failure? 

My guest today is a friend: Tricia Halsey. She runs a nonprofit called The Big Idea Project. Their program, among many things, helps high school students develop leadership skills through large, audacious community projects. I’ve seen some of this work first hand and its impactful stuff not only for the community and recipients but the exact thing I want my kids doing as they get older too. One project I saw recently was an initiative to encourage teens to fast from social media for five days. Cool results came out of it. 

Tricia’s story is what we on the Botchcast call “the heart”. But with a unique twist related to fear of failure. She ran so hard from failure that it was starting to affect her health in big ways. 

The thing I want you to listen for is her intentionality. She knew life needed to change, that she was headed for big calamity, and proactively did something about it including moving her family half-way around the globe. 

Welcome to the Botchcast, Mrs. Tricia Halsey.
