Welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Jervay. And as a quick

reminder what we're doing in these conversations is working to learn from

those who are on the path of mastery, working to understand their

psychological framework, how they see the world, how they see themselves in it, the thinking patterns and the practices that they use to be able to support those thinking patterns.

And it's not that we're trying to think the same way they think or even use the same psychological

framework that they use, but working to almost counterbalance and or assimilate some of the ways that they've used.

And so it's that reference point that I've talked about before that I find so valuable in

these conversations.

And of course we're going to dive into the mental skills that they use to refine their craft and to build it.

And to help them when they pursue danger and or risk or challenge and they're in it, how do they use their mind to be able to excel through it?

And some of those times are the way they think about the opportunity ahead, whether it's risk or challenge, that can set the world apart, and or if they're in the middle of it and struggling,

like how do they use their mind?

How do they practice to be able to be fluid in those moments?

And those are all the mental skill stuff.

Your brain is one of the hungriest organs in your body.
