At Spade and Archer we are constantly thriving to become the best version of ourselves, professionally and personally, and sometimes that means getting outside our comfort zone. We sat down with Amy Romberg of Windermere, co-host of Behind the Yard Sign and Justin Riordan, Spade and Archer Founder to explore how they each are stepping outside their comfort zones.
Amy is learning all about her new career in real estate
In this season of Amy’s life she is allowing herself grace as she is constantly learning about real estate. After leaving a comfortable career where she had reached the ceiling of growth she took the leap into her new chapter of real estate. She speaks on how when we become comfortable we become complacent and how she is constantly looking for the 'next thing' that can help her on her journey of growth. Amy states, “we have the opportunity to learn so much as we step outside our comfort zones”. It’s when we step outside of the things that make us comfortable that the possibilities around us become limitless.
Justin in headed to Belize to learn to Scuba dive with his husband for their 20th anniversary.
As Spade and Archer grows so do the opportunities for Justin to step outside of his comfort zone. He touches on the growth of the company and the shift he has experienced as a result. This shift has allotted him the time to pour into his self growth. He shares, on a personal level, how he is taking scuba lessons so he can go scuba diving on his 20th wedding anniversary in Belize with his husband. Which is quite unfamiliar territory for a man of habit who vacations the same city, hotel, and even room twice a year. He shares how stepping away from things that are familiar and comfortable "Forces us to ride an edge where there’s so much learning and growth and vulnerability that takes place.”
So, next time you are given the opportunity to co-host a podcast, learn something new or grow into the next version of you don’t hold yourself back because it’s uncomfortable and unfamiliar. Take a leap and do it BECAUSE it’s uncomfortable and unfamiliar. You might just be surprised what you learn along the way.
