the WORST advice I've been following my whole life


All my life, I've been told to think positively.

But last week I realized that's TERRIBLE advice.

I had a conversation with Evan Marks, a top performance coach who works with elite athletes and entrepreneurs.

And he completely shifted my perspective...

I have a terrible confession. I am sitting on an absolute goldmine. And I’ve been keeping this from you for over a year now. Lying to you, lying to my clients, lying to everyone. So, here it goes… Every week, I interview high-level experts for their video content. CEOs, founders, marketing experts, sales leaders, you name it. PHEW. Okay, got that off my chest. Now that monkey’s off my back, let me tell you more… As you probably know, I ask them questions, help them share their expertise, and...

Last week, I dropped a podcast with Robb Gilbear, a multi-six-figure business coach who's mentored over 400 entrepreneurs. The goal of my podcast isn't the podcast itself, but the clips that result from it. But let me tell you where I went wrong with Robb. I had just come across a great video framework, and I was set on using it. But the problem is that Robb is a super creative guy.
