Quotable moments:

39:47 “[Pathological] means disordered disconnected from reality. Crazy. When someone's pathological, right? But it also means compulsively driven. Like when we use it in the phrase pathological liar, okay? They just can't stop. It's like they, they know better, but they just have this compulsion almost to do it, right?

40:18 “It sounds crazy to consider what I'm proposing here, that you can choose a positive position no matter what your circumstances are. That sounds crazy. It does, but it's also going to the compulsively driven, it's a dogged determination to purposefully. Opt for the positive from a plethora of possible perceptions. You just do it on purpose.”

46:11: “But Live On Purpose Central is where we bring everybody together. I'm there every week doing. Personal coaching with whoever wants to raise their hand and come on the camera.”

46:26: “But the cool thing about group coaching like that is your brain is gonna see it in someone else before you see it in yourself. And so your brain is gonna hand you everything that you need, even if you're not raising your hand and coming off the camera.”
