Starting the conversation, Eric shares his experience where he faced the wake-up call to realize there are ways he can achieve goals without sacrificing the most important things to him.
Eric emphasizes the importance of choosing identities we want to embody in different areas of our lives and gamifying them by focusing on small, consistent actions that embody the champion version of ourselves. We also discuss his 80-20 rule for improving our lives by changing one thing and sticking with it, and his winning day routines for creating a productive and fulfilling day.
