Shoot for the Moon… But What Happens When You Actually Land?
About this episode
What happens when you finally reach the goal you’ve been chasing?
We’re taught to shoot for the moon—to set big goals, work hard, and push forward no matter what. But no one really talks about what happens when you actually get there.
In this episode of In The Know with Tony Reeves, I share a personal reflection on my journey to becoming a judge—and the unexpected reality that came with it. Because the truth is, even when you’re doing everything right… there can still be a part of you that never fully believed you’d make it.
And when you do?
That’s when the real work begins.
We’re talking about:
If you’ve ever chased something big—or you’re in the process of getting there—this episode will challenge how you think about success, identity, and what comes next.
Because sometimes… the hardest part isn’t getting there.
It’s believing you deserve to stay.
