How would you describe yourself? How would you describe your identity if someone asked you? In this episode, we explore how the way you think about yourself affects the successes you have in life. If you're ready to look at how you can change your identity and have the results you want, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn:
  • The shocking story of a young man who received the wrong SAT score and how it changed his entire life trajectory
  • Why personality tests are a $2 billion industry (and what that tells us about human nature)
  • The difference between fixed mindset and growth mindset - and which one leads to transformation
  • How to create powerful identity shifts that make lasting change inevitable
  • Why your personality isn't permanent (and how to use that to your advantage)
Member Spotlight:

Challenge Questions to Ask Yourself:
  • Why do I weigh what I weigh?
  • Why do I have as much fabric as I have?
  • Why do I watch as much TV as I do?
  • What is it about me that's so fixed on over-consuming?
