Then we shift from crime to courage. Our guest, Franklin Moyle, known artistically as Jay Franklin, joins us for his first-ever podcast and does it in his second language. He opens up about the quote that shaped his life: “Feel the fear and do it anyway” from Susan Jeffers. We talk about self-confidence, imposter syndrome, and the uncomfortable truth that many people who look fearless are simply better at hiding their fear. If you’re building a business, changing careers, or trying to speak up in public, this conversation is a grounded reminder that bravery is a practice, not a personality type.

We also get into Franklin’s immigrant journey and reinvention story: leaving Venezuela as the economy collapsed, arriving in France on a student visa, working through demanding hospitality jobs while studying, and earning the right to stay by staying consistent, paying his dues, and keeping his long game in view. It’s a powerful lens on entrepreneurship, resilience, and building a future one choice at a time.
