In this episode, Mike is joined by the former COO of StoryBrand, Tim Schurrer to discuss his new book "The Secret Society of Success". Tim's goal throughout the book is to help us reshape the way we view success so that we can reclaim our lives. Perhaps the main takeaway from the The Secret Society of Success is that we don't have to put people down in order for us to get ahead. The notion that we can help and serve others and still find our way to the top of our proverbial mountain. Throughout this podcast, you will hear Tim share a number of stories that help illustrate his ideas and help us begin to reframe our perspective of success. 

A Note From Mike

Tim's new book, The Secret Society of Success is a MUST READ. I also believe that Tim's work comes at a time in which it is extremely necessary. Our culture has migrated to be extremely individualistic and tells us that in order to fit in we must keep up with the Jones'. This is what Tim refers to as the "Spotlight Mindset", and Tim does a phenomenal job teaching us how to identify this in our lives.
