One Thing Led to the Next

One Thing Led to the Next

What if the opportunities that change your life don't look life changing when they first appear? In this episode of The Follow Through, I share how saying yes to one opportunity completely changed the direction of my life. I never planned to become an author, start a podcast, speak on stages, or help people write books. Each step simply led to the next. From joining Women in Business in college to getting involved with Dance Marathon, fundraising, speaking, writing my book, and launching this podcast, none of it came from having a perfect roadmap. It came from taking the next opportunity in front of me. If you've been waiting until you have everything figured out before getting started, I hope this episode encourages you to take the next step anyway.

The Lonely Side of Ambition

Does ambition ever make you feel lonely? In this episode of The Follow Through, I open up about something I don't think people talk about enough. The loneliness that can come with building something meaningful. Whether you're in college, starting a business, creating content, writing a book, or simply chasing goals that the people around you don't fully understand, this episode is for you. I share my own experience of balancing college while building my business, why growth can feel isolating, the pressure ambitious people often put on themselves, and why feeling misunderstood doesn't necessarily mean you're on the wrong path. If you've ever questioned whether you're sacrificing too much, wondered if you're falling behind, or felt disconnected because your priorities have changed, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not the only one.

When Nobody Is Watching | Kelsey Scott

What does follow through look like in an industry built on rejection? In this episode of The Follow Through, Avery Crumrine sits down with two-time Emmy-nominated actress and screenwriter Kelsey Scott to talk about the reality behind building a long-term creative career. From 12 Years a Slave to How to Get Away with Murder, Kelsey shares what people do not see behind the scenes of acting, auditioning, rejection, and continuing to show up even when there are no immediate results. The conversation explores consistency, identity, fear, discipline, external validation, and what it really means to keep going when nothing seems to be happening yet. This episode is for anyone pursuing something difficult, uncertain, or deeply personal and learning how to continue anyway.

What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like It

Most people know exactly what they should be doing. They just don’t feel like doing it. In this episode, I break down what to do in that moment, how to stop waiting for motivation and follow through anyway. This isn’t about motivation. It’s about what actually gets you to act. Because if your actions depend on how you feel, you’ll always be inconsistent. So I walk through what actually works by making it smaller, removing the option to negotiate, and focusing on becoming someone who follows through instead of someone who just thinks about it. Because the difference isn’t who feels motivated. It’s who moves anyway. Connect With Avery Crumrine: Website: ⁠https://averycrumrine.com https://www.youtube.com/@AveryCrumrine
