We have John Sonmez, founder of Bulldog Mindset stopping by for a fascinating discussion on breaking free of self-imposed limitations, escaping the dreaded land of the middle, retiring at 33, and the unexpected turns that came after that. Many entrepreneurs (and those looking to become entrepreneurs) most often have the dream scenario on repeat in their head: six-pack abs, dating the hottest models, building a multi-million dollar business, traveling the world in luxury, and in general, living life on your terms. Is this possible?

Absolutely. But not without putting in the work. Specifically adopting a bulldog mindset as John has done. John shared gem after gem in this episode, and opened some new ways of thinking in terms of how we go about our "goals." Becoming superhuman starts in our mind and this episode will put you on the fast track.
