Summary

“If you continue to disprove your imposter syndrome in the real world and it persists, you have to admit to yourself that it's got nothing to do with your capabilities…” Today, join Alex (@AlexHormozi) as he guests on Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson to discuss various topics including changing your environment to improve your life, the importance of gamifying content creation, and the benefits of eliminating downside to increase action. They also touch on the concept of shame existing in the shadows and how confronting specific fears and limiting beliefs can lead to personal growth. This is part 1 of the interview.

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.
