This week we discuss why the greatest lessons come from setbacks, and how these moments are the catalyst for massive growth in business and life. Why anything worth pursuing is difficult and how the road to success is paved with failures and hard lessons.
We cover how you’re able to manipulate your mind into playing what’s known as an infinite game where there is no real end. There's also a chunk of the discussion where we dive into viewing failures as a form of feedback that highlights what we need to change.
This podcast was a deep dive into how we think about using failures as fuel to get what you want out of life instead of tossing in the towel on your goals.
Some Topics We Discussed Include:
-The benefits of learning from losses
-How Nick is more delusionally optimistic than Alex
-Why there is actually deep wisdom in cliches
-What a tough breakup taught Alex about his unhealthy patterns
-Manipulating your own mind to play the infinite game
-We discuss why being brutally honest with yourself is necessary
-The reason you should expect 99% failure and 1% success
-Tactical tips on how to pivot instead of tossing in the towel when things get hard
