  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:12
  I'm our host Anna McGivern, and this episode is brought to you
• 0:14
  by the Great News Podcast. Tired of all the doom and gloom
• 0:19
  news from mainstream media? You'll get none of that there.
• 0:23
  Instead, you'll find inspiring stories and developments making
• 0:27
  the world a better place. Find it in your favorite podcast
• 0:32
  app. But just to make it easy for
• 0:34
  you, I've left a link in the show notes.
• 0:37
  Now let's dive into today's quote from Robin Crowe,
• 0:42
  musician, entrepreneur, and author who once said jump and
• 0:48
  the net will appear. This quote has only 6 words, but
• 0:54
  they contain a complete philosophy about how courage
• 0:57
  actually works. Here's what some people get
• 1:01
  backwards. They want the net to appear
• 1:04
  first. The guarantee, the safety plan,
• 1:09
  the proof it's going to work out, and then they'll jump.
• 1:13
  But Robin Crow spent 20 years as a struggling musician before he
• 1:16
  figured out the truth. The net doesn't show up until
• 1:21
  after you jump. Crow dropped out of high school.
• 1:24
  The tour performed at over 600 schools across the country,
• 1:29
  spent years chasing a recording career in Hollywood, and had
• 1:33
  very little to show for it. Then, instead of retreating to
• 1:37
  safety, he made another leap. He built his own recording
• 1:42
  studio from scratch in Franklin, TN.
• 1:46
  That studio, Dark Horse Recording, eventually hosted
• 1:50
  artists like Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and Neil Diamond.
• 1:55
  The net appeared, but only after he jumped.
• 2:00
  The reason some people never get what they want isn't lack of
• 2:04
  talent OR bad timing. It's that they're standing at
• 2:08
  the edge, waiting for certainty that will never come.
• 2:13
  Fear doesn't go away when you have more information.
• 2:17
  It goes away when you move. I remember standing at the edge
• 2:22
  of starting this podcast. I had lots of reasons to wait.
• 2:26
  I mean, I didn't have to write equipment, even though I did.
• 2:30
  I didn't know what I was doing, which wasn't true either.
• 2:35
  I kept telling myself I'd launch when things were more ready, and
• 2:41
  at some point I just jumped. I made a decision, a commitment.
• 2:47
  The equipment was imperfect only in my mind.
• 2:51
  The early episodes were not perfect either, and neither is
• 2:54
  this one. But the net appeared, and here
• 2:58
  we are, almost 800 episodes later.
• 3:02
  The net was always there, I just couldn't see it from the edge.
• 3:07
  So here's the question. What are you standing at the
• 3:10
  edge of right now? What's the leap?
• 3:13
  You keep postponing, waiting for guarantees that aren't coming.
• 3:18
  You already know what it is. Just jump and the net will
• 3:23
  appear. That's it for today.
• 3:25
  I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 3:30
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 3:36
  with another daily quote.
