Amanda Abajian moved to Sandpoint, got a job making sandwiches at Spud’s, and got dragged into SSC by two coworkers. She’d never heard of CrossFit. On her first day, Kenny made her do somersaults. She came back anyway.
When Kenny asked her to lunch a year later, she was convinced she was getting kicked out of the gym. Instead he asked her to coach. When he cornered her again, he asked her to go full time. Each time, she said yes to something that terrified her.
This conversation covers what it actually feels like to earn trust from scratch, why imposter syndrome never fully goes away, and how consistency — not perfection — is what builds a career, a business, and a life you love.
If you’ve ever talked yourself out of something before you even tried — this one’s for you.
