From Fear to Impact: The Conversation Every Entrepreneur Needs to Hear

In this episode of Eleva Podcast, we sit down with Chris Abington at the Co-Create Innovation Hub for a powerful, honest, and wide-ranging conversation about leadership, fear, entrepreneurship, community, and purpose.

Over amazing food from **Arkansas Sweet Spot**, we dive into what it really takes to build something meaningful—from understanding who you are as a leader, facing fear head-on, and creating space for others to thrive. Chris shares personal insights on building teams, raising kids, staying grounded, and why *community collaboration* is the key to long-term success.

This episode isn’t just about business—it’s about **identity, growth, and believing in your city**. If you’ve ever asked yourself *“What if I fail?”* or *“Can something great really happen here?”*—this conversation is for you.
