It's a real talk today folks! 

We're going to be going over the journey, how future me will cringe at this episode in the future, the struggles with knowing what you should do but not executing, and more

Today is our first Five in Five (5 learnings in 5 minutes)! 

Learnings this week come from Ed Mylett, Alex Hormozi, Neil Strauss, and Marcus Aurelius

Today we're talking about something that everyone has experienced, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)! 

We'll go over 4 points to help deal with FOMO: 

1. Be specific about what you are missing out
2. Understand the trade-offs, the pros and cons of both options
3.  Determine if the thing you are worried about missing out ladders up to your bigger goals or missing
4. Understand that  everything in life is a tradeoff 

Today's episode is a bit different.

I'm sharing where my head has been at around one of my biggest goals for this year and spoiler...

I'm not doing the thing I know I should be doing

BUT

We'll be chatting on how to push through regardless

And I'll be providing an update in March on the progress since this episode 

Regrets, we all have them.

And most of us would choose less regrets over more regrets. 

Today we are going to talk about four things around regret to put us in the best position to have fewer regrets in the future 

In today's episode, we're going over 5 methods to be grateful

In today's episode, we're going to go over some of my favorite points from Chapter 1: One More Identify from Ed Mylett's book, "The Power of One More".

"The Power of One More" was hands down the best book I read in 2023, I highly recommend it if you haven't checked it out. 

Building a strong identity is foundational for success so that's what we're going to dive into today. 

Today's episode discusses Dr. Daniel Amen's method for killing ANTs (Automatic Negative thoughts).

Dr. Amen has a 5 step process that starts with first writing that thought down and then asking the following 5 questions about the negative thought: 

1. Is this true

2. Is it absolutely true

3. How do I feel when I have the thought

4. How would I feel if I didn't have the thought

5. Take the original thought and reverse it
