Summary

Todd Herman coaches CEOs, Olympic athletes, entrepreneurs (etc.) on how to reach their peak performance using 1 key trick... an alter ego. He says, "We're all super multi-layered people." But we block ourselves. We constantly use old narratives that we've outgrown or hold us back. And we force ourselves to be somebody we don't want to be anymore. But if you use an alter ego, you can get out of your head. And perform the way you want to (at work, in negotiations, on the field, while networking, in relationships, anywhere.) He'll tell you success stories and how to get started. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

0:23.6	This is about actually drawing out who you are because we're super multilayer.
0:27.5	I mean, who you think you are today and who you're going to be nine months from now is
0:31.9	probably going to be a slightly different person.
0:34.0	So are you being fake today because you're not that person nine months from now?

1:07.0	right now.
