Summary

Bestselling author Jon Gordon talks with former NFL wide-receiver turned life coach, Trent Shelton.

A few takeaways from this episode:

Make sure you are a reflection of what you say you stand for.

Give yourself permission to be great.

Your job is not your identity. You are more.

My hardest times have built my strongest faith.

The plan I have for my life might not be the bigger plan God has.

Your worth isn't found in external things.

Trust the process. Enjoy the journey.

There is a purpose in your pain.

Every day brings a chance at a new beginning.

It all starts with a choice.

Don't have a BC mindset (blaming and complaining).

Focus on what you CAN control. Let go of everything else.

Focus on ONE change that you can control. One change today leads to another change tomorrow.
