#119: The #1 Skill of Happy, Successful People


Listen Later

As a kid I had zero self-confidence or communication skills.

I was super shy and socially awkward. I never thought I was good enough. I doubted myself constantly. I was scared of my own shadow and constantly lived in fear.

This lasted for more than half my life, well into my late twenties and early thirties. Then I realized something had to change.

Epictetus, the great stoic philosopher, asked, “How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be?”

For me, the answer was, “Not one second longer.” So I set out on a mission to become the confident person I always wanted to be. I learned how to communicate and build meaningful relationships. I learned to put others first and make them feel important.

In this episode, I’ll take you through my journey, step-by-step. You’ll learn how I went from hiding in a corner with my head down to being able to play Taylor Swift in a lip synch battle on stage in front of over 1,000 people.

And you’ll get simple, concise action steps that you can implement right now. Follow these tips and you’ll be on your way to becoming the confident, outgoing person who owns every room you walk in to.
