Jeff joins me today to discuss playing the bigger game of life and making an impact on humanity. He explains the difference between the “survivor” and “seeker” minds and how our fear-based survival instincts keep us in a life of mediocrity. He details what living a life of grasping entails and outlines how being in constant hyperfocus can keep us from bigger, better, and faster ways to achieve success. Jeff also describes what “receivership” is and highlights how distinguishing yourself as a person requires openness to insights and revelations and taking time to pause and reflect.

“Play the bigger game. Pace yourself and, over time, you’ll get a huge runway to amass a lifetime of experiences. The pauses and recreation are where we creatively open ourselves to receiving better ideas.” - Dr. Jeff Spencer
