I got so much from this conversation on a personal level, I hope you get just as much from listening.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:

· Transformation starts from the neck up.

· Fear of failure often prevents people from starting.

· Failure is a natural part of success, while quitting is not.

· No one cares about your decisions as much as you think.

· Commitment requires ongoing effort beyond the initial decision.

· Maintenance of habits is easier than the initial growth phase.

· Your identity can change over time; you are not fixed.

· Obstacles can serve as valuable lessons for future success.

· Learning to say no is essential for prioritizing what matters.

· Self-awareness is key to understanding and overcoming past influences. Extreme success comes with extreme sacrifice.
