Turning Mindset into Millions: Unlocking Untapped Potential with Mental Performance Training — Kevin Bailey & David DeRam

Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant all had something in common more than just basketball excellence.

They all had the same mindset coach, George Mumford.

Many people model their workouts, wardrobes, and wealthy aspirations off of professional athletes… why should mindset be any different?

We recently sat down with Kevin Bailey, Co-Founder and CEO at Dreamfuel, and David DeRam, CEO at Greenlight Guru, to talk through the practical effects mindset coaching has had on David and his business.

This is an episode full of actionable techniques you can use to increase mental performance in yourself as well as your team in order to achieve higher results and stay composed under pressure.

Kevin Bailey is the Co-Founder and CEO of Dreamfuel, a mental performance platform that helps elite teams & individuals thrive under pressure.

David DeRam is the CEO of Greenlight Guru, a dynamic MedTech company that provides software solutions for Med Device companies and clinical trial data collection.

Both are incredible tech entrepreneurs and have accumulated many wins, losses, and lessons along the journey.

Through all of the craziness that entrepreneurship brings, both of these leaders have found a competitive advantage by focusing on their personal mental performance as well as their teams'.
