The People Shaping Me This Month : Lessons From Unexpected Places
Grab a copy of my new book Habits of High Performers here - www.thehabitbook.com
In this solo episode, I’m sharing something a little different.
As of now, these 1:1 solocasts won’t be weekly anymore. Instead, I’ll be dropping more intentional updates once or twice a month — focused on what’s actually shaping me behind the scenes.
This is one of those episodes.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What a cab driver, a psychologist, and a billion-dollar founder taught me this month
- The mindset shift that’s helped me handle pressure, friction, and people better
- Why saying “no” is the key to becoming a high performer
- How I’m staying focused during the chaos of a book launch
- A simple rule from the Crusaders’ head coach that can transform your productivity
- What’s really happening behind the scenes of the High Performance Leadership Event
If you’re navigating growth, busyness, or big transitions — this episode is for you.
Let me know what resonates. And if it does? Share it with someone who needs it.
