About this listen

What if the voices that say "you can't" and "you shouldn't" are wrong? Actually, I Can. is a celebration of bold choices, courageous journeys, and the deeply personal stories of founders, visionaries, and leaders who dared to defy the doubters and choose "yes" even when the world kept saying "no."

This isn’t about growth hacks or formulas—it’s about the raw, human moments that shape real leaders. Host Lindsay Tjepkema sits down with real leaders and digs deep into the grit, grief, and reinvention that turned real dreams into exceptional realities.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or on the edge of your next big move, Actually, I Can. will inspire you to trust your intuition, bet on yourself, and redefine success on your own terms.

    Actually, You CAN Build A Business For Bereavement with Justin Clifford
    Sep 10 2025

    What does it look like to build something that companies aren't ready for? Justin Clifford is the CEO of Bereave, a company helping organizations navigate death, bereavement, and grief support in the workplace. Justin opens up about what it’s like to lead a “death tech” company, the resistance he’s faced, and how he’s building a platform that changes the way we're supported through loss. Because grief is universal, but support isn’t.

    If you've ever been told that your vision was too heavy, too different, or too taboo, this conversation is for you.

    Aug 27 2025

    What if the path you’re on isn’t the one you’re meant to stay on? Fabian Rodriguez opens up about the power of letting go of outdated definitions of success, the invisible toll of constantly trying to “prove” yourself, and the freedom that comes from finally asking: What do I want?

    From golden handcuffs to questioning the definition of "dream life," this episode is a reminder that you have permission to choose YOU.

    Actually, we BOTH CAN with Kelly Ramsdell
    Aug 13 2025

    What if the version of your life that feels “off course” is actually the one that leads you exactly where you’re meant to go? Coach, creative, and former attorney Kelly Ramsdell (the powerhouse behind another business called Actually I Can) unpacks how to stop "shoulding" all over yourself, why no path is ever wasted, and how self-love and nervous system regulation are non-negotiables for bold action. From inventory management to law, from poetry to painting, and from chronic illness to personal reinvention, Kelly shares her deeply personal journey of reclaiming her life, rewriting her inner dialogue, and helping others do the same.
