Think about this, we spend more time planning our vacation than we do planning our lives.

When we're going to go, how are we going to go, who's going to go, how much we're going to spend on it,

when we're going to come back, but we don't spend the same amount of time planning our

lives.

And so to me, if you and I can live our lives strategically, then we have a great advantage over other people.

Because I don't know how you know, if you don't know where you're going, how do you know

when you arrive? And so to me, if we take control of our lives and we take

control of personal development, I think we have a huge advantage over everybody else because

most people are just living from day to day and they're not they're not living with a sense of purpose. All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Jervay.

And the idea behind these conversations is to learn, to learn from people who are on the path of mastery,

to better understand what they're searching for, not so that we can do the same as them,

but maybe we can search for the same thing they're searching for. We want to understand

their psychological framework which is how they understand how the world works,

how they understand how their unique world works, the craft that they've

invested their time in, and how they understand how they work.

And then even deeper below that, we want to understand the mental skills that they use and have used to build and refine their craft.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by natural stacks.

Your brain is one of the hungriest organs in your body.

It's been found to consume roughly around 20% of your energy every day.

That means an important factor between the days you feel sluggish

and the days that you feel sharp

is how fuel efficient your brain is.
