Th Multimixer Moment Sep 05, 2020

Show notes

In life there are certain crisis points that may lead to fateful decisions. Recognizing these points, and acting decisively when they are reached, is the mark of a true man of action. When you are on a track that you don't want to be on, you will eventually have to choose one of two options: accept your present circumstances, or take dramatic action to break out of your situation. This crisis point, this moment of decision, what I call the "Multimixer Moment." It's a reference to a scene in the 2016 film "The Founder," a movie about how Ray Kroc founded the McDonald's franchise.
