If you’re burnt out but secretly dreaming of building a business... this is your first step.

In this powerful kickoff to the Bedside to Business mini-series, Liam takes you deep into the mindset shift required to transition from bedside burnout to nursepreneur brilliance.

Spoiler: it's not your business model or being unsure about your niche that's holding you back — it's your monkey mind.

You'll meet the two parts of your brain: the amygdala (aka your survival-driven Monkey Mind) and your prefrontal cortex (your visionary CEO brain). If you're stuck in stress and self-doubt, trying to “figure out your niche,” this episode explains why you can’t think your way to clarity — you have to feel safe first.

“Your brain will sabotage your dreams in the name of safety. Don’t let it.”

This is a must-listen for any nurse who feels overwhelmed, second-guesses their every move, or wonders if they have what it takes to start a business.
