You vs. your own mind.
It's not often you get to go one of the top ranked podcasts in the world. Excited to spread some knowledge!
It dropped today. Excited for you to listen.

Diversify your sources of meaning
If your job is the be-all end-all of your life, you are making yourself fragile
Any failure becomes an attack on your self-worth.
All-in looks good on social media. A robust sense of self works better in real life:

So What? My whistleblowing journey sucked.
But...it made me who I am. It shaped how I see success & failure. It gave me empathy & understanding. And it allowed me to make sense of who I am and what truly matters.
These lessons are excerpted from my new book WIN THE INSIDE GAME.

10. No one gives a shit.

You are the author of your story. In a world that will increasingly intertwine with social media, it can feel like we lose control of our story. That we hand it over to others to control and define. Don't let others define your narrative.

8. Embrace the Messiness:
We want easy answers, clear-cut solutions, and a world that makes sense. But the truth is, life is messy, complicated, & full of contradictions. We're messy too, full of flaws, imperfections & misaligned values and actions
Real growth comes from confronting the messiness

6. Remind yourself of and stick to your principles
When you are challenged, stuck in an uncertain situation, you will need something to fall back on. A light that acts as a beacon, guiding you through the fog.
Principles are that guide. Find what you value, what truly matters.
