What I Learned in a 5-Day Dark Retreat About Limiting Beliefs

from We Live to Build

What happens during a 5-day dark retreat? My guest, Matthew Stafford, a Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) expert, spent 121 hours in total darkness. He explains how the experience rewired his brain, teaching him that our limitations are just "consensual hallucinations." Matthew masterfully connects these deep psychological lessons to the world of e-commerce and CRO, explaining why simplicity and solving problems are the real secrets to higher conversions. This is a must-watch conversation about rewiring your brain and your business.
