Summary
Have you ever decided just to go rogue and things actually turned out better than you could have planned for? Well this week, Kat is talking about a recent last minute (really last second) decision to change plans that worked out in everyone's favor. In this episode you will hear Kat talk about the importance of being flexible with plans and a small mindset change that has started to make a BIG difference in her life. In his book, The Infinite Game, Simon Sinek details the importance in playing to stay in the game versus to beat an opponent. And being that our current culture is obsessed with competition and comparison- Kat thought it may be helpful to talk about some of the brilliance she gathered from Simon's book and viral motivational talks.
