Do you ever let fear, anxiety, and overthinking get the best of you when you need to get things done? I know I do. This mindset building conversation with US.Marines 2nd Lieutenant Jamel Johnson might be what we need to get going in 2019. I pick Jamel's brain about:

• His tips to boosting confidence during high stakes endeavors. 
• What filters he puts up when maintaining his inner circle to ensure he is surrounded with other growth mindsetters.
