In this episode, we invited one of Dan's friends Brian Levenson to talk about his new book: Shift Your Mind: 9 Mental Shifts to Thrive in Preparation and Performance.  Brian works with major athletes in the NBA, NHL, and MLS as well as business executives.  After briefly introducing how Brian got into his executive and mental performance coaching business, we discussed the concept of achieving greatness by shifting from a preparation mindset to a performance mindset.  Brian mentioned that one of the most important steps is to create self-awareness.  Understand who you are so that you can decide where you want to go.  To answer Nathaniel's question, throughout the journey of creating the right mindset, being present is the most difficult step, and thinking about the future is the most misunderstood one.  Brian stressed the importance of "turning it off and resting"  and have the "how much money is enough for me?" conversation with oneself.  As Dan pointed out, "time" and "money" are two of the most misunderstood topics that we don't discuss openly and honestly enough.
