What if your biggest problem isn’t the situation itself—but the story you’re telling yourself about it?
In this powerful solo episode, I reveal the single mindset shift that transformed how I run my life and business: understanding that your lens is your leverage. I break down how the way you see a problem determines whether it becomes a breakdown… or a breakthrough.
Whether you’re launching a product, navigating tough client calls, or just stuck in a negative spiral, this episode will give you the framework and clarity to change your perspective and change your results.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The difference between breakdown and breakthrough (and how to shift between them)
- The 4-part perspective framework to regain clarity and control
- Why your business results reflect your mental lenses
- How to apply this mindset shift to launches, team issues, and tough decisions
- Why future-casting and coaching accelerate your perspective training
- How to pause reactive spirals and turn them into strategic moves
