Summary

Why do some people turn vision into reality—again and again? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and philanthropist Mark Pentecost, founder of It Works! and author of Life of Your Dreams. Mark went from high school teacher and coach to building a global business—and now teaches others how to “train” vision like a muscle. We’ll map his practical steps onto the neuroscience of behavior change, so you can learn how environment, micro-habits, and meaning rewire your brain for sustainable success. What you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ How to “train” vision like a muscle (and pick the right rooms) ✅ A tiny daily rehearsal that locks in momentum ✅ How to reconceptualize failure so it upgrades your wiring ✅ Why purpose & generosity improve mental regulation Follow Mark on Instagram: @themarkpentecost Order Mark’s New Book “The Life of Your Dreams” https://www.amazon.com/Life-Your-Dreams-Financial-Freedom/dp/1637634234#:~:text=Review,action%20can%20create%20extraordinary%20results.
