No Risk, No Reward: Juliann Wiese’s Journey from Corporate to Entrepreneur

What happens when someone who swears they’re “not the entrepreneurial type” takes the leap anyway? In this episode, Barbara Patterson sits down with executive coach and global consultant Juliann Wiese to unpack her surprising shift from corporate stability to thriving business owner.

Juliann gets honest about what really pushed her out of her comfort zone, the mindset shifts that helped her handle rejection and uncertainty, and how embracing “the wobbles” (those messy, uncertain moments) became her superpower. Together, they swap stories about failing forward, trusting your instincts, and why most of us are more capable than we think—especially when we’re willing to try.

You’ll hear lessons from the mountain biking trail, the art of depersonalizing “no,” and practical experiments to build your own resilience and courage—at work or in life.

Ready to reimagine risk, break up with self-doubt, and get inspired by a real-life transformation story? Tune in and discover what’s possible on the other side of your comfort zone.
