208. How to Feel Closer to People By Sharing Your True Self, with Jem Fuller

Have you ever been in a situation where you knew what you needed to do, but you couldn't seem to get started? Maybe you knew you needed to lose weight, but every time you went to the gym, you bailed out at the last minute. Or you knew you needed to improve your grades, but you didn't have the motivation or the time to study. The truth is, that our mindset is the key to everything we want in life. Too often we wait until we've hit rock bottom before doing something about it. In this episode, we're joined by a man who knows what it's like to hit rock bottom and bounce back. Jem Fuller has lived a life of extremes. He's been a barefoot backpacker, fire-dancer, a global tattooist, and a kindergarten teacher! Now, Jem is an expert in communication, resilience, and mindset, leading retreats around the world. In our conversation, he shares some simple things you can do to take healthy action for your body and your mind.
