Episode Summary

IT WILL NEVER WORK!

What if one of the biggest things holding you back… is an assumption your brain made years ago?

Sometimes we decide something won't work before we even try. Not because it's true, but because our brain quietly connected a few past experiences together and created a story

In this video, I share a funny story my father used to tell me as a child that completely changed the way I think about rejection, assumptions, and giving up too soon.

You may never look at your own thought patterns the same way again.

STUCK FOR 52 HOURS: PANIC OR PERFORM?

52-hour flight delay. Airport chaos. Frustrated travelers. Broken aircraft. Endless "just one more hour" announcements…

Would you panic… or perform?

Sometimes the biggest leadership lessons show up when everything goes wrong and you have zero control over the situation.

Your next airport delay might reveal more about your mindset than your next boardroom meeting.

Watch or listen to the Podcast or read the full article here: https://thinkyourself.com/stuck-for-52-hours-panic-or-perform/ to see why your brain does this… and how to think differently.

THE ONE HABIT THAT KEEPS LEADERS STUCK

After 19 years on stage… I got a "rookie" award. 😄

At first, I thought it was a bit funny. Then I realized… there's a powerful lesson in that most leaders miss.

The habit that keeps you successful might also be the one quietly keeping you stuck. 🧠

And your brain has a lot to do with it.

If you've ever felt like growth slowed down… or like you're operating on autopilot… this might be why.

WHAT IF EVERYONE IS WRONG?

Everyone is doing it… so it must be right?

That's exactly how smart teams end up stuck in habits that make no sense.

From endless "reply all" emails to meetings that should have ended 40 minutes ago, to buzzwords no one understands … we follow along because our brain prefers what feels safe over what is actually true.

But leadership starts the moment you pause and question it.

WHAT MOVIE TRAILERS INFLUENCE YOUR DECISIONS?

Did you know that when you open Netflix and arrive on the main menu, the preview you see is different from person to person, depending on your watch history? If you've been watching a lot of romance movies, the scenes Netflix shows you will highlight love and emotional moments. If you tend to watch action movies, you'll see explosions, fast-paced scenes, and high-intensity moments instead. If you love comedies, they'll show you the funniest parts of the series.

Yes, Netflix is choosing which movies and TV shows to present to you, but it's also selecting which scenes from those shows to display, all based on your viewing history.

Now here's the interesting part: our brain works the exact same way.
