EP #88: Our biggest hater and obstacle can sometimes be ourselves. Your mindset, how you think and how you show up everyday could be the reason why you may not be reaching your full potential. It's time to let go of old habits, shed those negative thoughts and start going all in on what you dream of. How can you live the life you desire if your own mindset is stopping you?

EP #87: Our “dream life” or the success we envision for ourselves can always seem so far away and out of reach, but what if I told you it is actually much closer than you think? We make ourselves believe that we need to exert a crazy amount of energy, pull all nighters and outwork everyone around us in order to get to where we want to be. But success can be a lot easier than we think. Most people aren’t competing at these levels we think they are because they start something new, get uncomfortable, don’t want to stick with it then disappear. The only thing stopping you from what you want is whether you want to stay in it long enough to see if you can do it.

EP #86: Have you ever thought about a big dream you want to accomplish in life? Then as soon as you say it out loud or tell someone, it seems unrealistic?

EP #85: There are a series of trade-offs that come with being successful and going after your dreams. Friendship is one of them.
