Before we start the show, I want to thank the thousands of you, the thousands who have read.

This book will make you dangerous. Many of you have told me that the book's unique way of exploring

fear, confidence, and purpose has had a lasting impact, that it's much easier for you to get

clarity and direction about what really matters and what you want to do in this lifetime.

It's also amazing to hear that quite a few of you have read it multiple times and even bought

copies for friends. So thank you again. Just in case you weren't aware, I created a free companion

video course for the book. And in these videos, I walk you through the big takeaways and practices

from each chapter. And I even cover some extra stuff that's not included in the book. Information on how

to access the course is in newer versions of the book. And if you own an older version of the book and you

don't know how to access the course, just hit me up via the contact form at triplinear.com, and we'll get you all

set up. And one last thing, if you're one of the thousands who have already read the book,

please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon so that others can decide if it's right for them.

Again, thank you so much for reading this book will make you dangerous, and now let's start

the show.

We talk about why I went to therapy, why I hated the idea of personal growth, and how my life looked amazing from the outside, but was a fragmented mess on the inside.

Do you remember that?

Oh, the guy who had his...
