#4 - Thanson Stevens - Creating Confidence, 12 Rules For Life, and Reaching Your Potential

Thanson Stevens is a writer on Twitter and a "Confidence Coach", helping people create more confidence in their lives and become their highest selves. He is also the writer of a weekly newsletter called "Mind Mender." 

In this episode, we talk about how people can feel more confident, books to read for self-improvement,  imposter syndrome, and how you can overcome your limiting beliefs. We also talk a lot about Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules For Life and some of our favorite rules from that book. This is a great conversation to listen to for anyone who struggles with self-image and confidence, as Thanson's story from hitting rock bottom to creating a life of confidence and purpose is inspirational.
