What does The Bold Trailblazer mean?
You are a builder with a sense of adventure — you build new things in new territory, and you do it with a confidence and energy that makes others want to come with you. You are most alive at the frontier of something being built, and you move through that frontier with a boldness that creates momentum others can step into.
You are energized by building new things, especially in uncharted territory. You don't need a map — you're making one. And you move quickly enough that others can follow the trail you're cutting.
