Even after accomplishing the arduous task of connecting with our purpose, it's easy to get caught by impatience when becoming who we want to become takes longer than we initially thought. One of the many ways to solve that issue is through perspective, taking a pause, and looking back at everything we've accomplished so far. We can learn much about those two things, purpose and perspective, from our special guest, James Quandahl. 

James Quandahl is an Entrepreneur, Performance Coach, and the host of The James Quandahl Show, a podcast where he interviews experts and unravels the secrets of living a fully present life. 

In this episode, we delve into James' fascinating story of how he decided to abandon his successful career in corporate America to pursue what he identified as his calling, even though he wasn't sure what it was precisely at the moment. We navigate the different stages of his journey, simultaneously discovering himself and his purpose, his fantastic progress, and his new reality of leading three successful businesses. We also discuss the pursuit of excellence, the challenges of leading remote teams, gratitude, perspective, and much more.  

Some Questions I Ask:

Could you share a little bit about your story with us? (1:38)

What else is getting you excited right now, in your business or your life? (11:51)

What do you do for yourself to ensure that you see your progress in yourself? (25:17)

Achieving success is like being in a maze; we can eventually get out of it by ourselves, but it'll take us a lot of work, and we'll bump our heads against several walls. 

Instead, we can have someone with a peripherical view of the maze, helping us find the way out. We'll still have to go through the maze, but it'll save us the head bumps. 

In this episode, we talk about the need of that person outside of the maze, the victory makers. We delve into the importance of getting help to conquer the things in which we struggle and see through their lenses the solutions we can't see from the inside of our challenges. 

We take a moment to think about those who help us win, the victory makers in our lives, and reflect on what we need to be that person in someone else's life. 

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• About the places that are victory makers in our lives (4:01)
• Who are we victory makers for (6:14)
• The importance of having someone in our lives to help us see things clearer (8:05)

Talking about our feelings and emotions is something we are not used to doing. In fact, for most men, the only way of dealing with life's harshness is to suck it up, pull our socks up and keep going.

We learn how something as simple as breathing can massively change our reality and how we show up at work and with our families. 

We also touch on the use of alcohol, drugs, or pornography as a form of self-medication and its terrible effects, the lack of mental training in our lives, and how incorporating tiny habits can be a game-changer in the long run.

Why do you feel that men don't want to talk about anxiety? (3:09)
