Show notes

In this episode I dive into a traumatic episode in my life (when I tore 3 ligaments in my knee). I ended up skipping a very important procedure because of the way I felt (overly confident) and I paid dearly.

Have a listen to what that mistake did for me..it was more mental than physical. I'm glad I was able to learn from that mistake and I hope you can learn a thing or two from that very same mistake that you can apply a core principle that I share in this episode.

What you will learn:

How protocols can give you a shortcut to success
How to develop discipline for your success
How to turn your failures into super-powers
