Max Out Insights:

Embracing your misfit is all about using the weird quirks and differences about you to your advantage

Once you ask “How?” rather than saying “it can`t be done”, things become fun

To achieve the best results, you need to understand the people around you

Dave`s favorite personality test, which he changed into a game of animals: DISC

D: Dominant. This is the lion that is impatient and wants to get things done quickly. He`s all about moving forward, not talking about unproductive things on end.

I: Influence. This is the otter that is the life of the party and all about relationships. Very outgoing and more on the fun side of things that the deadline as the lion.

S: Steadiness. Golden Retriever. Always there, consistent, loyal.

C: Complacent: Owl. Think your accountant. Everything is meticulously laid out and detail oriented. You better have your details and be able to back up what you`re saying.

We`re meant to build stuff. Think of your 5-year old self building that sandcastle only to destroy it right afterwards. We don`t need to rule it, just build it.

Max Out Quotes:

“The exploration of your misfit side is one of the greatest things you can do to evolve yourself.”
