Ep 100 | My Grandpa’s Wisdom on Goals and Overcoming Fear

Iron & Infrastructure

We've hit a major milestone—episode 100 of the Iron & Infrastructure Podcast! To celebrate, I’m sharing a conversation which was the first podcast I ever recorded, with one of the greatest influences in my life—my grandpa (Jack Emery). In this special episode, we dive deep into topics that have shaped not only my career but my approach to life.

From setting ambitious goals that seem impossible to focusing on what we can control instead of letting fear get the best of us, this conversation is packed with the kind of wisdom that pushes you to reach beyond your limits. Grandpa talks about the power of belief, how to stay grounded when life throws uncertainty your way, and the mindset shift needed to turn wild dreams into reality.

This is more than just a look back on my journey—it’s an honest, inspiring talk about how to conquer self-doubt and build something greater than yourself. If you're ready to think bigger and challenge what’s possible, this episode is for you.

Key Topics:

• The power of belief and setting "stretch goals"
• Overcoming the fear of the unknown and embracing challenges
• Focusing on what you can control and letting go of the rest
• Timeless wisdom from my grandpa on leadership, grit, and perseverance
