Ep 85 | Unleashing the Power of the Driven Mindset with Dr. Doug Brackmann

In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Doug Brackmann, a psychologist and the author of Driven. Doug's journey from a high school dropout to earning two PhDs is nothing short of inspiring. We dive into what it means to be driven—how this mindset is both a blessing and a curse, and why understanding it is crucial for anyone striving to succeed. Doug and I explore the unique wiring of driven individuals, how it shapes our lives, and the challenges that come with it, including addiction and burnout. I also share my own experiences with the driven mindset, emphasizing the importance of harnessing this relentless drive for good while maintaining balance.  If you're someone who's driven to achieve and wants to understand the psychology behind it, this episode is for you.
