In this episode, I dive into The First Rule of Mastery by Michael Gervais.
I share my personal reflections, notes, and highlights months after reading the book to reflect on its core themes in day to day life.
We’ll explore important concepts like FOPO (Fear of Other People’s Opinions), the power of self-validation, and exercises for identifying and overcoming self-limiting beliefs.
Join me in discovering how mastering your internal world can improve both your performance and overall well-being.
