Summary

In today’s show, we have a chat with human building coach, Mac Brazina who shares her thoughts on cultivating mental toughness, self-care, and women’s empowerment. When Mac first started Human Builder, she was focusing solely on physical training. However, she soon found her true calling, which was helping her clients cultivate a stellar mindset.  Be it the boxing ring, business, or life in general; you will learn that your biggest competition is with yourself.  John reveals the mosquito principle from his Passion Struck Framework at this juncture and shares how you swat out the people, habits, and influences that are holding you back. The comfort of a safety net, mounting anxiety, and the resulting negative self-talk pull us down and prevents us from leading a purpose-filled life. In today’s show, Mac encourages one and all to have an open discussion on mental wellness.  We share some great self-care tips so that you forge ahead instead of internalizing your pain. Enjoy! Some of the Questions that I Ask In This Show
  • How did you find and unlock your hidden potential?
  • How did you develop the right mindset to excel at a daunting sport like boxing?
  • How do you train your clients and help them build a tough mindset?

  • Why are most people afraid to lead a purpose-filled life?
  • How did you become interested in the brain’s impact on human performance?
