Why Most People Fail | They're Listening to the Wrong Voices

Take The Power Back - Episode #12 Most people don’t fail because they’re incapable, they fail because they’re listening to the wrong advice. In this episode of Take The Power Back, I sat down with Tommy Nickerson to break down what actually separates people who rise into leadership from those who burn out. We unpack the difference between trust and loyalty, why most advice is based on emotions instead of outcomes, and why you should never make life decisions when you’re frustrated.
