Shakespeare said.... "A mind that is ready, is ready for anything". I'm convinced that's true. Because when our minds aren't ready. They become blocks.

So they matter, they're worth considering. They're worth thinking about. And they're definitely worth trying to overcome.

In today's show: our guest is going to help you and your team overcome some of those mental barriers and help you achieve top performance. Full show notes at www.interstellarway.life
