If you're stuck, if you're struggling, if you're being dismantled, if you feel like your life is getting

pulled out from underneath you, I say congratulations, like what a fucking opportunity that is. You are being given an opportunity

to look at yourself and reconstruct your life from the ground up.

Not everybody gets that opportunity, like lean into it.

Our instinct is to shun it or avoid it or pretend it's not there.

But the truth is, there's this incredible gift if you move towards it. Alright, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Jervais, by Trade and Training. I'm a sport and performance psychologist as well as the co-founder of

compete to create. Now the whole idea behind this podcast, behind these conversations, is to learn from people who have committed their life

efforts towards mastery. Now we're much more interested in that blending between

mastery of self and mastery of craft.

And we also want to dig to understand what is the tension between those two,

what are the specific and unique ways that they're going at building their craft,

but more importantly, how are they mastering the inner life?

How do they organize their thinking?

How do they organize their inner life?

To pursue the very best of themselves.

And that usually involves something about purpose.

It usually involves something about dealing with uncertainty.

And also, like, how did they manage when things don't go according to plan?

That's all about the inner life.

That's about the psychological skills to be able to pivot and adjust.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Kuzin Machia.
