The Riskers Podcast

“Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results: we call that insanity. Part of the challenge is becoming self-aware that your brain is trying to keep you safe. God made it that way. And if God made it that way, He will also provide ways to help you manage that.” —Scott Hamilton, founder of Disruptive Christian Leadership

When you are faced with anxiety, stress, depression, or RISK, it’s incredible to see what your mind, heart, and body can process in the blink of an eye.

Today we welcome Scott Hamilton, Ph.D, a coach and founder of Disruptive Christian Leadership.

If you are wanting to pinpoint and break through those invisible barriers between you and your potential, tune in to this insightful conversation with Scott.
