Every leader has that moment, the one where they question if they’re cut out for this.

In Episode 48 of the Launch Point Leader Podcast, hosts Lori May and Beau Noblitt respond to a deeply personal letter from Doubting and Desperate, a listener asking for something real: “Can you tell me about a moment when you seriously questioned your ability to lead?”

Lori and Beau go beyond theory to share the actual stories that shaped their careers, what Beau calls his “pizza box moment,” sitting on the floor ready to give up, and Lori’s turning point in a late-night parking lot, unsure whether to keep going. This episode is a powerful reminder that self-doubt is not a disqualifier, it’s often a catalyst for defining your leadership identity.

Whether you’re in a low moment now or mentoring someone who is, this episode offers reassurance, real talk, and hope that what feels like the end might actually be the turning point.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why your hardest moments can become the most important parts of your leadership story
✅ How to recognize when doubt is a signal, not a stop sign
✅ The mindset shifts that help leaders move from burnout to breakthrough

🎙 Podcast Quote:
"The only reason I didn’t quit is because someone else believed in me." – Beau Noblitt
