Go First With Jaime Taets
by Jaime Taets, Owner, President & Founder
You don't need the whole plan. You need the next step, and the courage to take it before you feel ready.Go First with Jaime Taets is the leadership podcast for high-achievers who are done waiting for certainty before they move. This isn't another success podcast selling the highlight reel. It's the conversation about what it actually takes to act first, before the data's in, before the fear subsides, before anyone tells you it's safe. Because clarity comes after you move, not before.Hosted by leadership expert and executive coach Jaime Taets, Go First sits down with founders, CEOs, former pro athletes, agency owners, and high-performing leaders who took the leap before they had proof it would work. Guests don't recite polished playbooks. They get real about the moment they moved anyway: careers rebuilt after a housing crisis, identity remade after a career-ending injury, businesses started with more fear than funding, trust broken and rebuilt from the inside out. Why leaders keep hitting play:1. It names the fear you're not supposed to admit. Waiting to feel ready is often just waiting. If you're a leader stuck at the edge of a decision, hoping for more certainty before you move, this show gives you permission and a push to go first anyway. 2. It's tactical, not just inspirational. Every episode delivers frameworks you can use immediately - how to separate the fear you should listen to from the fear that's just noise, how to make a decision without full information, how to build the kind of energy management that makes moving first sustainable instead of reckless. 3. The guests have actually gone first. This isn't theory from consultants who've never made the call under pressure. Listeners have heard from a crisis-communications founder who rebuilt her career and her family through her son's cancer diagnosis, a Super Bowl champion who had to find purpose beyond the game that defined him, and CEOs who scaled companies while unlearning the need to have all the answers before they acted. 4. It reframes hesitation as a leadership signal, not a character flaw. Instead of glorifying certainty, Go First treats the instinct to wait as data, a signal about what you're actually afraid of losing, and what needs to change so you can move anyway. 5. It's built for the leader standing at the edge of their next decision. Whetheryou're weighing a career pivot, a business bet, a hard conversation, or a change you already know you need to make, this show offers a way to move, not just a reason to keep thinking about it. Who should listen to Go First: Executives, founders, entrepreneurs, coaches, and high-performing professionals who know what they should do next but are stuck waiting to feel ready. If you Google "how to make decisions without all the information," "overcoming fear of failure as a leader," "how to take action despite uncertainty," or "podcast for leaders who feel stuck," this is the show built for exactly that search.What you'll actually learn: How to make high-stakes decisions before you have full information. How to tell the difference between the fear that protects you and the fear that stalls you. Practical energy management for leaders operating without a guarantee. Why the leaders who move first aren't fearless, they've just built a different relationship with fear. How clarity is a result of action, not a precondition for it.www.jaimetaets.com
