What am I doing with my life?! How do all these successful people do it? Those are two questions most of us have asked ourselves at some point in our life, right? Maybe you're even asking yourself that right now…

So, how do we move forward from that stagnancy? What do you do when your current life is actually sucking the life out of you? Perhaps, today's guest can give you a new perspective.

Alex Banayan is an international best-selling author and the youngest best-selling business author in America. At 18, he decided to write the book he dreamed of reading… except he didn't have the money to fund it. As a struggling college student with loads of debt, he quickly found himself hacking The Price is Right, winning a sailboat, selling it, and using the money to fund his quest to learn from the world's most successful people.

In this rich discussion, Alex and Chase talk about the two reasons why rejection is crippling you, the mindset shift needed to persevere through rejection and fear of failure, and what it truly means to be yourself. Alex shares his candid thoughts on why you need to follow your enthusiasm, his 3-step framework for overcoming rejection, and the biggest realization he's had after studying the mindset of success for 10 years.
