Work never really gets easier. You just get better at it. This week Drew sat down with David Pearson, an optimization engineer (and one of his closest friends), to talk about why we move our own goalposts, how to fight inertia when starting something new, and why action beats doubt every time. They also had some fun with odd foods, lost friendships, stair-counting quirks, and dishwasher debates. If you’ve ever waited to feel ‘ready,’ this episode is for you.

Drew Bushman returns to Oakwood High to debunk common myths about entrepreneurship and share personal stories from his winding career. He emphasizes that you don't need a perfect plan, failure is a teacher, and money is a tool—not the goal.

The episode distills practical lessons: start small, use your story to connect, stay creative, and serve others first. Drew encourages students to experiment, learn from setbacks, and focus on relationships and purpose.

Overall, the talk invites listeners to begin now, prioritize meaning over perfection, and build a career that supports the life they want.

What if losing was the best thing that ever happened to you? In this episode, Drew talks with Ben Erste about why failure builds grit, how to face imposter syndrome, and the role faith plays in staying grounded. If you’ve ever doubted yourself or felt like second place, this episode will remind you that you’re not behind. You’re building strength.

In this vulnerable episode the host shares a personal struggle he calls a "fat day"—a moment of body shame and insecurity amplified by challenging blood work and diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and ADHD. He explains how medication choices are complicated by high blood pressure and how perfectionism and shame derail progress.

Rather than seeking perfect solutions, he models the "clear enough" approach: small, concrete steps like deleting restaurant apps, setting alarms, and celebrating tiny wins. The episode emphasizes compassion over shame, progress over perfection, and using values—integrity, growth, thoughtfulness—to guide sustainable change.

On this episode of Clear Enough, Drew explores why imperfect action often connects more deeply than polished perfection. Through personal stories—from a high school chalk-pastel portrait to nervous emails, parenting slip-ups, and a small grocery-store quirk—he shows how vulnerability invites connection and growth.

Drew offers three practical guidelines for sharing imperfectly, two journal prompts, and a clear invitation: pick one thing you've been holding back and share it. You don’t need all the answers—just be clear enough to take the next right step.

In this episode Channing Bushman — an associate licensed professional clinical counselor specializing in eating disorders and nearing licensure — discusses how she balances meaningful clinical work with family priorities, sets boundaries to prevent burnout, and practices a “clear enough” mindset.

She shares candid stories about imposter syndrome as a new volleyball referee, memorable moments like a college award and free churros in Brazil, and practical reflections on values-driven choices.

Listeners will take away honest, grounded advice about prioritizing what matters, taking one step without needing to see the whole path, and how to reach Channing for referrals or questions.

Host Drew examines the common habit of over-explaining—why we do it, the real costs it creates (confusion, wasted time, and lost trust), and how clarity strengthens leadership and relationships.

He offers practical tools—lead with the conclusion, use executive summaries, ask if listeners want the short or long version, and embrace silence—and challenges you to try one concise headline in a conversation this week.

In this episode of Clear Enough, Drew explores why waiting until you feel ready is a myth and how clarity, not perfection, lets you take the next right step. Through personal stories from launching a law practice, practical strategies, and journal prompts, Drew shows how credibility grows through action, not preparation.

Learn three entry points to begin when fear holds you back—shift the story, embrace "beta now, better later," and find your authentic why—plus tangible micro-commitments and prompts to help you move from paralysis to progress.

In this episode of Clear Enough, Drew explores the difference between charisma and credibility, arguing that credibility sustains influence while charisma only attracts short-term attention.

Through personal stories and practical advice, he outlines five key ingredients of credibility—reliability, humility, consistency, preparation, and resilience—and offers concrete steps for building or rebuilding trust at work.

The episode includes journal prompts to help listeners reflect on their own styles, and emphasizes that credibility compounds over time and matters most when the stakes are high.

This episode explains why traditional New Year’s resolutions usually fail—because they’re vague, absolute, and overwhelming—and why that leads to shame and quitting.

Instead, the host recommends intentional living: identity-based choices, short 13-week planning cycles, weekly actions, and small consistent steps that build lasting change.

Drew tackles imposter syndrome with candid personal stories and practical reframes, showing how doubt often signals growth rather than failure. He contrasts confidence with credibility and explains how humility, reliability, preparation, and resilience build lasting trust.

Listeners will leave with simple practices—gather evidence of competence, reframe the whisper of doubt, and take the next right step—so imposter feelings lose power and progress becomes possible.

Host Drew introduces the Clear Enough podcast and its central idea: you don’t need perfect clarity to begin. Through personal stories—including a reluctant turn to law school—and honest struggles with depression, ADHD, and imposter syndrome, he defines three guiding pillars: clear enough to begin, clear enough to be heard, and clear enough to break free.

Each episode will offer practical journal prompts, values-based guidance, and community encouragement for young to mid-career professionals balancing family and work. The goal is imperfect action, better communication, and breaking free from the lies that keep you stuck.
