As we step into 2024, it's nice to back to solo episodes. One of my big tenets this year is to "run your own race" – it's time to shift our focus from comparing our lives to others to embracing our unique paths. 

• The Comparison Trap: Discover how social media can skew our perception of success and how to step away from it for a healthier mindset. (Yea, I canned my Instagram account for awhile)
• Practical Strategies: Learn practical strategies to help you focus on your own path, including goal setting and cultivating gratitude.
• Embracing Self-Acceptance: Explore the journey of self-acceptance and how it can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

This past week I had the privilege of hosting ~40 amazing folks at my live mastermind in Charleston, SC. 

It was a great two days with everyone, and about an hour after the event ended I headed back to my AirBnb with my videographer Jeremy to get a few things done before heading back out to meet folks for dinner.

I was super tired but last minute, I decided to record a raw video of my thoughts about the event and hosting masterminds in general... and I was surprised at how emotional I got right around the ~15:00 minute mark. 

I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to share this video (I had a "vulnerability hangover" the next morning!) but I think there's a lot of stuff here learned from running masterminds and building a business in general that might help you, so here it is.
