That gap isn't a discipline problem — it's a belief problem hiding in your unconscious. Zach sits down with Tim Shurr, a hypnotist and mindset expert with 34 years and 15,000+ sessions helping people rewire the beliefs that quietly run their careers. They dig into why smart, hardworking engineering leaders get stuck chasing promotions, working harder and harder, and still hitting the same ceiling — and what actually creates lasting change. If you've been passed over, burned out, or told to "work on your executive presence" with no real path forward, this one's for you. You'll learn: • Why more effort and more hours won't close the gap between where you are and where you want to be • How unconscious beliefs shape decisions up to 7 seconds before you're aware of them — and how to upgrade them • The one question to ask yourself when you feel stuck, and how to get past the surface answers • Why your biggest breakthroughs are hidden in the places you don't want to go 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿?
