This is a Glass Box Media Podcast.

Hello everyone, I'm Kevin Miller and this is a Ziegler show where our focus is your professional development. In this episode, personal mastery. What is more

important than mastering oneself? The world claims those who have mastered a skill and we glorify people for what they can do.

What we fail to recognize often is the necessary mastery of self that preceded whatever act the

person on stage is on there for.

We really need to hear that.

I mean, the performance, whether on stage or on a sports field or on a camera or in the

workplace is the result of a level of mastery of self. It's not the most talented who win.

We've all seen great talent go to waste because the person couldn't pull their act together, right?

Well, it's some talent and skill that is honed through the

daily fire called discipline and habit and routine that creates mastery of self.

So in this show, I bring you Robin Sharma and mastery of self is his muse. He wrote a really intriguing book that came from decades of his teaching that to boil it down it's a playbook for self-mastery

it is written in story form and I'll admit it had me wanting to go back in again and again to hang out with the

incredibly aspiring characters in the story. So in this episode Robin and I

talk about the root issues of mastering ourselves. If you don't know Robin, he is a globally

respected humanitarian, best-selling author, his new book, The 5 a.m. club, which is much of what we talk about in this episode, is currently

one of the best-selling books in the world. His influence is really significant. He has 4.1 million

followers on Facebook alone, but he's widely considered as one of the world's top leadership experts.

And if you search for him, you'll see his clients include many Fortune 100 companies, famed famed billionaires, professional sports,

superstars, music icons, and members of royalty.

Robin, his books have sold over 15 million copies in 92 languages, making it one of the most widely read authors alive.

Honestly, I find interest in anyone who is positively influencing so many people, and I'm incredibly grateful that I invited him on the show.
