How to Get a “Plan A” Life with Bravery and Bravado – SASM 107 with Warren Talbot
“Whether I'm dominating the world or the world is dominating me, I'm grateful.” – Zach Anner at World Domination Summit 2016
I rarely do this. But I've invited my “I love you” friend, Warren Talbot, back for a second episode to talk about … well, a lot of things actually.
I normally theme an episode and design some intentional questions around where I think the conversation may help you. This time though, Warren and I are a bunking bronco of bravado and ideas.
We discuss how I find gratitude opportunities even without growth opportunities, how Warren and I became “I love you” friends, how to borrow bravery when you're coming up short, and why Warren constantly asks himself, “What's the worst that can happen?”
There's more (of course). There always is with me and this show. So what do you say?
Press play and let's ride the bull together, baby!
