Perspective and leadership are everything on today's episode. It's easy to fall into feeling sorry for yourself. It's easy to avoid putting in the work because you're afraid of failure. It's easier to blame someone else. So that's the route many people take. For the few, while their peers may be avoiding the work, they're seeking it out. They're putting in the reps. They have gratitude for the challenging path. Because they know that's where refinement takes place. And no one knows that better than our guest, Leif Babin.
