Episode Description:

It was 8am on a Monday morning. The auditorium was filled with 300 sleepy and hungover college students who slumped their way to their seats. The professor looked around, noticing a sea of closed eye-lids and pajama pants.

“It might as well be nap time at pre-school,” she probably thought to herself.

And then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed one student: awake, attentive, dressed in professional attire. That student, among the crowd of nameless faces, is the one she remembered.

I was that student. Dressed to the nines for every class, every day. And it made a difference. Dressing up opened the door to more opportunities.

I’m sharing my story about why I dressed up for college, and the lessons you can take from that to boost your own success.

In this episode, I discuss the concept of “self worth” and what it means for your long-term fitness success.

We take common advice given by financial professionals, “not to put all of your investment dollars in one basket.” If all of your money is tied up in one investment, and that investment fails, you lose everything.

To protect against this, many investors will split their money between a variety of different projects to ensure their money is protected against risk.

Similarly, if you want to protect against the risk of setback, diversifying where you draw your sense of self worth can protect your sense of identity.
