Your Gift Is You Not What You Do | Ep 969

"The gift that your people are looking for is you." — NiiamahJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Matt for a live throwback soul-to-soul coaching session that goes to unexpected places. Matt's mantra as a goalkeeper was "you can't hurt me." He built an armor of mental endurance that carried him through Ironman races, executive life, divorce, and grief. Now he's a coach trying to give the world his gift and realizing the harder he tries, the less he gives. In this session, Niiamah catches him in the act: upgrading from "impressing people with achievement" to "impressing people with vulnerability" is still impressing. The real move is to impress yourself. And then live from the space after the mountain, where nothing is left to prove, and play is all that remains.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
