Growth requires space. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman explores the powerful metaphor of the full cup—how being closed off, defensive, or full of ego blocks you from learning, evolving, and becoming the high performer you’re capable of being. If your mind is already full of excuses, blame, or self-righteousness, there’s no room for new insight, growth, or change.

Whether you’re a leader, athlete, or someone striving for excellence, the ability to empty your cup and stay teachable is what separates average from elite.

Key Takeaways:

• Why ego and defensiveness block high performance

• The importance of humility in leadership and growth

• How to stay open to feedback, even when it stings

• Practical ways to stay curious and keep learning

• The mindset shift required to become coachable and adaptable

If you want next-level results, you need a next-level mindset. Start by emptying your cup.
