In this episode of Evolution of a Human, I continue the journey with my wife, Leandra Brady-Walker, as we dive into our move to Darwin, building a business from nothing, and the emotional rollercoaster that came with starting over yet again. From arriving in a city we’d never visited to creating a thriving chiropractic practice, this is the story of resilience, ambition, and overcoming fear.We talk about:Why we chose Darwin—following a job offer and the support system provided by Leandra’s mum, who had already moved there.An abundance of lowball offers from local chiropractors, which led us to make a bold decision: starting our own practice with no money and no safety net.Working odd jobs—I worked night fill at Woolworths, and Leandra worked at a health food shop, all while planning and saving for our new venture.The scrappy beginnings—using a portable chiropractic table, an old laptop, and printing flyers on a shoestring budget.Pounding the pavement to get our first clients, literally walking around Darwin’s streets to introduce ourselves and leave flyers at local businesses.The Chiropractic Place—how we came up with the name and the vision of building an alternative medical empire.Learning business the hard way—from navigating high rent costs to figuring out marketing strategies before social media was big.Facing fear and imposter syndrome—Leandra’s struggle with stepping into her power and owning her role as a visionary and a leader.This episode is a raw look at what it really takes to build something from nothing, especially when you’re young, broke, and figuring it out as you go. If you’ve ever felt scared to take a leap, or worried that you’re not good enough, this episode will show you that you’re not alone—and that it’s possible to thrive anyway.Key Takeaways:- You don’t need to have it all figured out—sometimes just having the courage to start is enough.- Imposter syndrome can hit hard, even when you’re succeeding—but owning your power is a choice you can make every day.- Your past doesn’t dictate your future—you can always start over, no matter how many times life knocks you down.- Building a community is key to success—from networking events to talking face-to-face with potential clients, human connection matters.- Vision and persistence can overcome any obstacle—even if you’re broke and scared, if you believe in your vision, you’ll find a way.Resources & Links:Find Leandra on instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/dr_leandrabw/Find me on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/drjacobbw/Check my site for ways to work with me here: https://jacobbradywalker.comWatch Leandra’s TED Talk on Chiropractic and Leadership https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnh568YWVAc
