Summary
When someone shares their experience openly and honestly, something magical happens; you’re able to see yourself in that story, connect with them, and grow together. This is the theme of today’s podcast.
We're changing things up a bit in this episode as I had the pleasure of being on The Gravity Podcast with Brett Kaufman, and Brett asked me such unique questions that when we were finished, I knew I wanted to share this episode with you!
You'll hear how I went from being a lazy, undisciplined kid to someone who became capable of achieving extraordinary goals that my younger self never imagined I could.
Brett has such a unique gift of asking thoughtful questions, and he helped me peel back the layers of my life story, sharing everything from my early struggles to some hilarious, never-before-shared tales from my childhood to the life-threatening hurdles that shaped me into the person I am today.
You'll also learn the TWO powerful choices you can make at this very moment that will help you find the level of success in any area you've been working towards and help you develop into a more compassionate, driven, and fulfilled individual.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Looking at life’s curveballs as teachable moments.
- Learning to accept difficult emotions without losing the ability for empathy.
- Using pain as a catalyst for finding purpose.
- Find work you love so that every workday feels like you’re living your dream.
- The secret ingredient that will change your life, no matter how much of a procrastinator you were before.
- Your success is directly proportional to the depth of your personal growth.
- The two decisions that will help you orchestrate miracles in your life.
