INSIGHT

Show Up Knowing You'll Get Knocked Down

  • Showing up to do something meaningful guarantees setbacks and learning rather than perfection.
  • Mike and Chad invoke Roosevelt and Brené Brown: daring to be great means you'll 'get your ass kicked' but that's a rite of passage toward growth.
ADVICE

Name Your Critics And Give Them A Seat

  • Map your critics so you can acknowledge them without being derailed.
  • Brené's visualization is 'take a seat' for critics: know who's criticizing, why, then don't let them twist your actions or worth.
ANECDOTE

The Deathbed Thought That Forces You To Act
