In This Interview Jeff and I Discuss...

The One You Feed parable

The fixed and growth mindsets

Choosing between being a victim and a victor

The secret to an extraordinary life

Finding your calling

How for most people finding their calling is a roundabout process

How hidden in our obstacles and challenges often lie our purpose

Learning to take the next step

Using the surprises and setbacks we encounter for the good

Walking the path of your life

That difficulties are a prerequisite to a meaningful life

How mentors come in many forms and multiple people

Accidental apprenticeships

How no one gets changed by an idea, it takes action along with the idea

Not dreaming but doing

How the work always comes before we feel ready
