This episode is brought to you by Slack. With Slack, you can bring all your people and

tools together in one place. It's your digital HQ where you can increase productivity,

enable flexibility and automate workflows. Plus, Slack is full of game-changing features

like huddles for quick check-ins or Slack Connect, which helps you connect with partners

inside and outside of your company. Slack, where the future works. Get started at

Slack.com slash DHQ. Way too often we pre-calculate failing and just abort mission all together.

We literally talk ourselves out of our own dreams every single day. They're predicting

according to my assessment, I will fail, therefore I won't even try. You can't sell a book

that you don't write. You can't get people to listen to a podcast you won't record.

Even this morning it was like, hey, are you going to a book tour? I'm like, well, what

if I go to a Barnes and Noble in New York and nobody shows up? No, like, you got to put

yourself out there. I think the difference between people who are successful and people

who don't get all that they want from their life is that successful people were willing

to go sit in a bookstore and be by themselves. I'm on this journey with me. Each week when

you join me, you're going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity and set you up

for a better tomorrow. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so excited for you to meet my guest today.
