This week, we're joined by Marcus Aurelius Anderson! Marcus is a performance coach, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author of "The Gift of Adversity." He joins us to discuss the 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto principle, and how its rigorous application can focus and change your life.

In this episode, Marcus suggests these three steps for clarifying your priorities:

Create a "power list" of 2-3 objectives for the day.
Ask yourself: is what I’m doing right now getting me closer or further away from my goal?
Be present and intentional.
