Episode notes

John: A lot of humans, they have their brain on autopilot. I mean, talk about what needs to happen to these walking, talking, eating zombies. We end up spending 40% of the day on autopilot, plugging in coordinates of where we've been versus frankly where we want to go in life. And that was a massive eye-opening experience for me when watching my son go through some neurological challenges. The power of habit is transformative because you think about something like your phone. As soon as you look at it, it shifts your brain away from whatever you're doing into another task. It's just eroding our ability to be hyper successful.

A thought leader on goal attainment, Christina Curtis regularly contributes to the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Psychology Today. In her new book, Choosing Greatness, she provides an evidence-based approach to achieving exceptional outcomes.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. The most important thing is to recognize that confidence is a skill, so it's something you have to build. It's not a trait.

2. Energy is the most contagious thing in life. You can actually have two people sit in a room and not speak. And the person with the dominant mood or energy will transfer that energy to the other person.

3. If you're in a low slump, find the people who can bring you back up and pull you onto shore and get you on your feet so you can keep going. And if you're in a high, propel yourself forward, use it as a flywheel. Bring others around you and just trust that you're going the right way at the right time and the right moment.
