A Lesson On Uncertainty From a Colorado State Classroom

After a guest lecture in an entrepreneurship class at Colorado State University, Tina Fox stayed behind to talk with students who approached her with a mix of gratitude, curiosity, and relief. What she heard was the same thread running through every campus she visits: uncertainty about networking, about majors, about what comes next. In this solo episode, Tina unpacks the "upper duck, under duck" truth: nobody actually has it all figured out. She walks through a simple practice for moving forward anyway: stop, breathe, and take the simplest next step. She also makes the case for why "yes" and "no" are both gifts, why "maybe" is the real trap, and why the fastest way for a college student to start building a network is to walk into a professor's office hours.
