In this celebratory 50th episode of Fearless Thinking, host Michael Devous delves into the undeniable power of passion in entrepreneurship. Drawing inspiration from his own journey and his father's lifelong passion for his work, Michael explores what passion truly means, how to uncover it, and how to harness it for business success.

Whether you're just starting or feeling a bit lost, this episode will reignite your entrepreneurial fire and remind you of the joy of doing what you love.

Key Highlights:

• Defining Passion: Michael discusses the deeper meaning of passion, going beyond mere excitement to a deep-seated love for what you do.
• Uncovering Your Passion: He shares three key steps:
  1. Self-reflection: Identifying activities that bring joy and problems you're passionate about solving.
  2. Exploring interests: Trying new things, learning from others, and stepping outside your comfort zone.
  3. Connecting with values: Understanding what's truly important to you and the impact you want to make.
• The "Purpose 30" Exercise: Michael introduces a practice from Gina Bianchini's book on finding your purpose.

• The Ascend Hub: Michael highlights how the Ascend Hub community can support you in discovering and igniting your passion.

Impactful Quotes:

• "Passion is more than just excitement or enthusiasm. It's a deep-seated love for what you do, a fire that burns deep inside of you, driving you every single day to create, to innovate, to make a difference, to make an impact."
• "When you're ready to bring that passion to life and you're ready to get behind it, you're going to be blown away by all the things that flood into your head."
• "The minute you announce to the universe that this is what you want to do, have, or be... the universe is going to put obstacles in your way to help you build resilience, to help you find new solutions, to help you create different kinds of impact."
• "That's how you become a good seller and a promoter of what you are and what you do. Because you're passionate about it."

Key Takeaways:

• Passion is a driving force for entrepreneurial success.
• Discovering your passion involves self-reflection, exploration, and connecting with your values.
• You can harness your passion to fuel creativity, resilience, and inspiration.

entrepreneurs along the way.

9

00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:36,36

My mission is to help people unlock 

their untapped potential by using fear 

10

00:00:36,169 --> 00:00:37,904

as a catalyst for powerful change

11

Michael Devous, episode Fifty.

18

00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:11,671

We've reached

19

00:01:12,5 --> 00:01:12,339

fifty

20

00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:13,540

episodes. 

21

00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:16,509

happy birthday, or happy anniversary, 

or whatever.

22

00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:19,212

Happy Episody.

23

00:01:21,548 --> 00:01:22,182

Sorry, that's terrible.

24

00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:23,683

I Apologize

25

00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:26,119

Episode Fifty -

26

00:01:26,353 --> 00:01:27,721

The Art Is In The Start

27

00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:30,90

Of Igniting Your Entrepreneurial

28

00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:31,24

Passion.

29

00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:32,959

You know, when we,

30

00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:36,663

if you've ever heard the saying, "Do what 

you love and you'll never work a day in

31

00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:36,996

your life."

32

00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:38,431

My dad did that. 

33

00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:39,799

My dad, god, he was so

34

00:01:41,1 --> 00:01:41,935

blessed to

35

00:01:43,136 --> 00:01:46,39

know what he wanted and who he was and 

what he wanted to do for the rest of

36

00:01:46,39 --> 00:01:46,339

his life. 

37

00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,142

And he dived into that, like 

really early on,

38

00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:52,946

nuclear medicine brain imaging, I mean 

go figure.

39

00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,483

When he was in his teens, he knew he was

40

00:01:57,317 --> 00:01:58,385

headed in that direction.

41

00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,454

He was super... he's a super brilliant 

person,

42

00:02:02,255 --> 00:02:02,756

really smart.

43

00:02:03,223 --> 00:02:04,257

He always knew what he wanted.

44

00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:06,893

And for him, his work was never work.

45

00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:08,962

It was what he loved.

46

00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:10,997

And there's some truth to this.

47

00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:14,34

I've done a lot of things that I was

48

00:02:16,102 --> 00:02:21,474

happy to do, like to do, but I'm really 

passionate about doing, until now. 

49

00:02:21,941 --> 00:02:22,75

And

50

00:02:23,309 --> 00:02:26,513

now that I've found my passion, which 

is helping others, entrepreneurs and 

51

00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:28,148

others on their journey with fear,

52

00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:28,815

and

53

00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:32,318

helping them navigate that their 

entrepreneurial journey,

54

00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:34,587

I just,

55

00:02:36,423 --> 00:02:37,390

I don't feel like I'm working. 

56

00:02:37,557 --> 00:02:39,626

I feel like that's my passion, that's 

what I love to do. 

57

00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:43,63

So today we're talking about the 

undeniable power of passion in

58

00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:43,296

entrepreneurship. 

59

00:02:44,30 --> 00:02:44,330

And passion

60

00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:47,534

it's more than just excitement or 

enthusiasm,

61

00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:52,639

a deep, seated love for what you do,

62

00:02:53,306 --> 00:02:57,77

that fire that burns deep inside of 

you, driving you every single day to

63

00:02:57,143 --> 00:02:59,546

create to innovate, to make a 

difference, to make an impact. 

64

00:02:59,946 --> 00:03:00,647

It's the reason

65

00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:03,316

you get out of bed in the morning, like 

they all say. 

66

00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:07,387

And even when things get tough, and by 

the way, for me, recently getting tough 

67

00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:10,223

was being evacuated by forest fires.

68

00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:12,325

My passion

69

00:03:13,793 --> 00:03:15,628

kind of waned during that time period. 

70

00:03:15,795 --> 00:03:16,629

I will admit, humbly,

71

00:03:18,498 --> 00:03:19,65

I got diverted. 

72

00:03:19,466 --> 00:03:20,967

I got distracted easily.

73

00:03:21,267 --> 00:03:21,935

And

74

00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:27,374

in my writings, in my journal writings 

and stuff, you know,

75

00:03:28,174 --> 00:03:28,341

it was

76

00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:31,511

valuable for me to

77

00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:33,913

get back on

78

00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:37,784

track with my passion by writing these 

things down, by writing down my 

79

00:03:37,784 --> 00:03:41,621

concerns and my fears and my struggles 

with regards to feeling thrown

80

00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:43,189

off course.

81

00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:49,529

But my passion is what I'm back to, 

like, it really helps me.

82

00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:54,267

It took a bit to get back on course and 

back on track and get the injured and 

83

00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:54,868

spired up again.

84

00:03:56,36 --> 00:03:58,271

But when things get tough, your passion 

can be there,

85

00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:03,376

always helping you find something to 

dig yourself into, something, to sink 

86

00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:04,477

your teeth into, something

87

00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:05,779

to help you get up

88

00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:07,847

and move towards

89

00:04:10,16 --> 00:04:13,86

when you're feeling low and you're 

feeling distracted, when you're feeling 

90

00:04:13,219 --> 00:04:13,920

down, when you're feeling

91

00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:15,855

whatever it is

92

00:04:16,489 --> 00:04:20,160

having that love and that passion for 

what you do can really be something

93

00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,361

that

94

00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:23,930

gets you through to the other side.

95

00:04:27,534 --> 00:04:28,468

How do we discover

96

00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:31,938

or uncover our passion if you're not 

sure what it is?

97

00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:34,874

This is the hard thing, like when 

you're younger,

98

00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:39,346

I guess anytime in life when you're 

struggling to find what your passion is,

99

00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:41,448

there's a few steps

100

00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:45,785

you can take to help to uncover that, 

to discover what that is.

101

00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:49,789

I'll share with you that I was reading

102

00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:52,492

Purpose by Gina Bianchini,

103

00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:55,28

how to find your purpose.

104

00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:59,399

And she does this practice, and they're 

called your Purpose 30, which

105

00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,337

uses thirty minutes every morning to 

write your future story, which is, you

106

00:05:04,437 --> 00:05:08,108

stand in the place, in ten years, five 

years into the future, looking back at 

107

00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:11,611

where you were in, talking about what's 

changed in your life, what you can do 

108

00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:14,714

differently that you weren't able to do 

before the impact that you're having.

109

00:05:15,382 --> 00:05:15,715

And I love

110

00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:16,783

this practice.

111

00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:19,719

It does three things. 

112

00:05:19,953 --> 00:05:19,986

One

113

00:05:20,186 --> 00:05:21,287

is self reflection.

114

00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:24,624

When you write down

115

00:05:26,659 --> 00:05:30,196

those things about self reflection, 

what activities bring you joy, what 

116

00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:31,998

problems are, you passionate about 

solving.

117

00:05:32,732 --> 00:05:35,201

When you stand in that place where you 

look back at your life,

118

00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:38,705

and you pretend to be in the future,

119

00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:40,6

looking back

120

00:05:42,8 --> 00:05:45,478

if you'd be surprised at some of the 

things that you find that bring you 

121

00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:48,815

joy, that you reflect on that, you're 

like, oh, I'm doing this now that I 

122

00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:49,616

wasn't able to do before. 

123

00:05:49,783 --> 00:05:51,217

I'm really excited about a, b, c and d.

124

00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:56,423

I was excited about building a 

community, a huge community of impact,

125

00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:57,590

with fellow entrepreneurs

126

00:05:58,992 --> 00:05:59,993

and developing

127

00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:03,63

courses, workshops, all of the

128

00:06:04,597 --> 00:06:07,367

collaborative things inside that space 

together

129

00:06:07,934 --> 00:06:08,968

to create greater impact.

130

00:06:09,636 --> 00:06:10,337

That excited me

131

00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:12,806

2. is Explore Your Interests.

132

00:06:14,40 --> 00:06:15,208

I don't know why I just did that. 

133

00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:16,343

Apologize I got hands. 

134

00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:19,346

talking with my hands.

135

00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,614

Explore your interests.

136

00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:27,387

If you're not sure about where your 

passion lies, try a few new things. 

137

00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:28,321

Take a class,

138

00:06:29,155 --> 00:06:31,391

pick up a book you would normally not 

ever read or pick up.

139

00:06:32,359 --> 00:06:35,462

Talk to people in different fields of 

expertise that you think you might be

140

00:06:35,462 --> 00:06:36,162

interested in.

141

00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:39,999

One of the greatest things you can do 

is take an improv

142

00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,367

class. 

143

00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,636

You really want to figure some things 

out about who you are and what you 

144

00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:43,870

want. 

145

00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:45,71

Take an improv glass. 

146

00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:48,508

That'll open up some major doors 

mentally and emotionally for you that

147

00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:50,76

you might not have thought of before.

148

00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,913

Because it really taps into a side of 

yourself

149

00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:54,881

that

150

00:06:56,16 --> 00:06:58,418

we're not normally in touch with, 

right? 

151

00:06:58,818 --> 00:06:59,219

Taking risks.

152

00:06:59,953 --> 00:07:00,353

First of all,

153

00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,523

the more risks you take, the more you 

discover about yourself

154

00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:05,859

and that's trying new things.

155

00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:07,794

Doesn't have to be big risks, doesn't have to be 

adventurous

156

00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:09,562

risk. You don't have to jump out of a plane.

157

00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:10,897

Of course you can if you want to. 

158

00:07:10,997 --> 00:07:12,999

I did that at 15000 feet. 

159

00:07:13,299 --> 00:07:14,567

That was incredibly cool.

160

00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:15,535

161

00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:18,505

film it if you do it. 

162

00:07:18,505 --> 00:07:19,639

By the way, I filmed myself

163

00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,708

jumping out of a play.

164

00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:24,444

It's so corny, it's so bad. 

165

00:07:24,511 --> 00:07:24,944

I might post

166

00:07:25,211 --> 00:07:25,378

it. 

167

00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:27,80

It's really cheesy, and it's really 

bad.

168

00:07:27,147 --> 00:07:28,415

If it was done to Lenny Kravit's

169

00:07:29,549 --> 00:07:30,83

Fly Away

170

00:07:32,986 --> 00:07:33,453

in the background,

171

00:07:35,55 --> 00:07:37,223

I'm so hyped up and nervous at this 

jump

172

00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,591

y'all, I look like a dork.

173

00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:40,260

But anyway, I had a great time.

174

00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,294

It was really, incredibly

175

00:07:41,561 --> 00:07:43,296

affirming, and it was fun. 

176

00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:44,831

And I really want to do it again

177

00:07:44,898 --> 00:07:47,67

now. It's been a while, so I need to do it.

178

00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:50,904

Number three, connect with your values. 

179

00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:52,439

Write down your values. 

180

00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:55,41

If you're having a hard time figuring 

out what those are,

181

00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:59,312

you might start with asking yourself, a 

what's important to you and what kind 

182

00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:00,814

of impact do you want to make in the 

world?

183

00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:05,51

Understanding your values will help 

guide you

184

00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:08,955

in making certain types of choices,

185

00:08:09,789 --> 00:08:14,27

while exploring your interests while 

taking those new classes, reading those 

186

00:08:14,27 --> 00:08:16,996

new books and stuff, if you're 

constantly reminding yourself, at least 

187

00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:22,736

writing down your values, I like it 

when I prefer things this way. 

188

00:08:23,69 --> 00:08:23,670

I want to make

189

00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:26,573

sure that I'm always honest, truthful, 

vulnerable,

190

00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:27,874

authentic. 

191

00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:29,909

I wrote down my manifest statement,

192

00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:35,882

which talks about, authenticity is my 

guide, fears, my catalyst for growth 

193

00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:37,317

and powerful change and

194

00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:40,353

to step into the greatest version of my 

most authentic self. 

195

00:08:40,754 --> 00:08:42,188

What does it take for me to do that?

196

00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:44,824

And that's what I do with these shows. 

197

00:08:44,991 --> 00:08:46,826

That's what I do by interviewing people 

about fear. 

198

00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:50,497

That's what I do about talking about 

fear, is so that I can constantly be 

199

00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:53,800

stepping into the greatest version of 

my most authentic self, and challenging 

200

00:08:54,334 --> 00:08:55,301

myself with those values. 

201

00:08:55,935 --> 00:08:56,803

And those interests

202

00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:01,875

always keeps me fresh and passionate 

about what I'm doing, because I'm

203

00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:05,211

learning new perspectives all the time 

from other people who are already on 

204

00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:05,478

this road.

205

00:09:08,114 --> 00:09:12,652

Once you've identified your passion, 

which hopefully you have, it's time to 

206

00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:13,286

harness the power

207

00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:15,388

of your entrepreneurial journey,

208

00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:17,424

harness that passion,

209

00:09:18,91 --> 00:09:19,793

whatever it is, and bring it to life,

210

00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:21,928

fuel your creativity.

211

00:09:23,63 --> 00:09:25,465

Passion can spark innovative ideas and 

solutions.

212

00:09:26,666 --> 00:09:29,269

When you're ready to bring that passion 

to life and you're ready to get behind

213

00:09:29,469 --> 00:09:33,373

it, you're going to be blown away by 

all the things that flood into your 

214

00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:34,74

head about

215

00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:36,476

god, the ideas that come up

216

00:09:37,143 --> 00:09:37,310

constantly. 

217

00:09:38,11 --> 00:09:40,814

And you're going to need to write them 

all down, because you won't be able to 

218

00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:41,481

get to all of them. 

219

00:09:41,481 --> 00:09:43,49

But you will be building it.

220

00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:44,751

Two is building resilience. 

221

00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:50,423

You know, as you develop your passion 

and you light that fire behind it about 

222

00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:51,358

what you love to do,

223

00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:53,860

you're more likely to persevere

224

00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:55,528

through the challenges

225

00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:59,666

every time you stumble and phone, get 

back up and build resilience.

226

00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:02,335

You can't chase down your dreams

227

00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:05,638

and bring them to light in the world 

without stumbling. 

228

00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:06,740

It's not possible. 

229

00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:11,77

And by the way, as I've said 100 times 

and thousand times before, the minute

230

00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:14,80

you announce to the universe that this 

is what you want to do, have or be

231

00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:16,683

the next greatest version of your most 

authentic self. 

232

00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,352

By bringing your passion to light and 

to life,

233

00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:24,157

the universe is going to put obstacles 

in your way to help you build resilience,

234

00:10:24,657 --> 00:10:28,28

to help you find new solutions, to help 

you create different kinds of impact,

235

00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:30,230

that's how we grow,

236

00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:31,531

that's how we progress.

237

00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:32,632

And that's,

238

00:10:33,66 --> 00:10:34,734

number three, how we inspire others

239

00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:35,535

with

240

00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:35,869

your passion.

241

00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,239

If you're really passionate about it, 

it's contagious.

242

00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,742

You know, you can't not talk about it, 

you can't not share it. 

243

00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:45,645

You cannot get it out there because 

you're so passionate about it. 

244

00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:47,213

It becomes truly contagious.

245

00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:49,616

And it can attract

246

00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:51,985

people to you.

247

00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:54,187

Customers, investors,

248

00:10:56,356 --> 00:10:59,693

who actually believe in your vision and 

in your passion.

249

00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:05,298

That's how you become a good seller and 

a promoter of what you are and what you 

250

00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:05,565

do. 

251

00:11:06,32 --> 00:11:07,701

Because you're passionate about it. 

252

00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:09,936

You don't need to sell, you don't need 

to promote

253

00:11:10,570 --> 00:11:11,71

like crazy. 

254

00:11:11,638 --> 00:11:14,341

You don't need to be overboard and 

egotistical about it, because you're 

255

00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:15,75

passionate about it. 

256

00:11:15,75 --> 00:11:16,509

And every time you talk about it, 

people get excited. 

257

00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:18,878

When I talk about what I do with people,

258

00:11:19,546 --> 00:11:20,46

they get excited. 

259

00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,915

They think, they go, all of that idea,

260

00:11:23,49 --> 00:11:23,783

I love what you're doing.

261

00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:25,852

It's all passionate about it. 

262

00:11:25,852 --> 00:11:26,286

It's incredible. 

263

00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:26,986

And I guess

264

00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:27,987

exactly

265

00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:29,856

that's what I want to impart. 

266

00:11:30,256 --> 00:11:34,127

I want to create better impact for you 

on your entrepreneurial journey, 

267

00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:36,896

because I'm passionate about doing 

that, and I love it.

268

00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:38,598

I think it's exciting and it's fun,

269

00:11:39,232 --> 00:11:39,399

right? 

270

00:11:39,466 --> 00:11:42,836

entrepreneurial passion, you want to

00:11:42,836 --> 00:11:44,270

Ok, by
