Hello and welcome to the Achieve your goals podcast. This is your host Hal Elrod and today we are talking about how to rise above discouragement and lead others. I talk in depth today about how we are all leaders because the leader is someone that impacts someone else positively or negatively right you can be a terrible leader and hurt the people you're leading.

But as human beings who have other human beings that we interact with every day we are leading those people and of course to be an effective leader you have to lead yourself first and right now we are all dealing with a world that is collectively discouraged and afraid and unsure about the future and the economy and government and there's so many things right now.

They're out of our control and of course we've got to come back to what can we control we can control ourselves today's podcast was inspired by a video as I will explain here in the opening minutes of the podcast that Brendan Bershard posted recently in it inspired me to record my perspective on a lot of what Brendan shared and I do encourage you in the podcast to go watch Brendan's video as well.

So how to rise above discouragement and lead others to do the same before we dive in today and by the way today was I was in flow so this is one of those episodes right ended it and I was like or even during it I'm like wow this is just coming through me so I really hope it lands for you the way I felt as it was coming through me that it is going to land for you so I feel good about it I hope you do too before we dive in I want to take a minute to thank our sponsor organify and I want to focus on sleep right now because there are a handful of

supplements that organify makes that are specific to sleep the only one I've talked about really is organify essential magnesium magnesium has natural calming properties that can help manage and mitigate stress when overstimulated and promote relaxation which can contribute to falling asleep more easily I take organify magnesium every single night. However, there are four other products from organify that all contribute to sleep one is collagen consuming protein in the evening can help to maintain stable blood sugar.
