In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg talks with Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring about Chapter 3 of Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane, Try.

They explore why trying is more than practice, how to handle the “messy middle” where doubt and fear creep in, and why setbacks are often signs of growth. You’ll also hear how community and self-compassion can give leaders the courage to try again.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why “try” is practice with intention.
• How to navigate the messy middle of growth.
• Why self-doubt may actually signal progress.
• The role of community and self-compassion in transformation.

Key Quotes:

• “The dreams that actually come true are those that step forward and try.” – Dr. Linda Schubring
• “Self-doubt and shame are indications we’re making progress.” – Brian Schubring
