EP 270 Regret Is Louder Than Fear: The Blueprint for Leaders Who Move Anyway! (New Year 4 Part Miniseries 3 of 4) (Solo Episode w/ Ildiko Ferenczi) ENTREPRENEUR PARENTS PODCAST Hosted by Dan Caldwell and Ildiko Ferenczi In this powerful solo episode of the Becoming Unshakable: Legacy Conversations bonus series, Ildiko Ferenczi opens 2026 with a cinematic call to courage for parents who know they are meant to lead but have been waiting to feel ready.
