We've spent three weeks breaking down AI—why it's not scary, how to prompt like a pro, how it aligns with your faith. But some of you are still frozen. Still watching from the sidelines while others create, launch, and win.

Today, we're naming the real enemy: fear. Not the "I'm scared of robots" fear—the sneaky, paralyzing fear that keeps you from starting.

In this episode, I share:

The Parable of the Three Travelers — Three people. Same bridge. Same opportunity. Only fear decided who arrived. You'll recognize yourself in one of these travelers, and you'll finally understand what's really keeping you stuck.

My "Hair on the Floor" Story — At 13, I thought I knew how to braid. Then my sister-in-law asked me to do extensions. Y'all, I had more hair on the floor than in her head. The braid started fat, ended skinny, and looked like a disaster. But I didn't quit. I became a master braider because I was willing to be terrible first. Your AI journey is the same.

The Three Faces of Fear:

• Fear of looking foolish (asking "dumb questions")
• Fear of being left behind (everyone's moving faster)
• Fear of losing your identity (AI feels like cheating)

The Real Cost of Waiting — Every day in the waiting room is a day of lost revenue, lost creativity, lost impact. The people winning with AI didn't start when they felt ready. They started with crooked braids and hair on the floor.

5 Practical Steps to Get Unstuck:

1. Start small, start messy
2. Give yourself permission to suck
3. Find your people
4. Reframe your narrative
5. Take one action TODAY

This episode is for creators over 40 who know they need to learn AI but feel paralyzed. It's for the gifted, talented people sitting in the waiting room hoping to feel "ready" someday.

Here's the truth: Ready is a myth. Progress beats perfection. And your legacy is waiting on the other side of fear.

Whether you're building a business, writing a book, launching a course, or creating digital products—AI is the tool that amplifies what God already planted inside you. But you have to be brave enough to leave some hair on the floor first.
