In this short, reflective episode, Richard Taliaferro explores why real professional progress can’t be rushed, what it means to trust your season of development, and how to stay grounded when results feel slow.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, second-guessing your progress, or wondering when all your hard work will pay off, this one’s for you. You’ll learn how to recognize your “underground growth,” avoid the urge to test it too soon, and let your next chapter ripen naturally.
