In this no‑BS episode of Dropping Bombs, Chad Sanschagrin delivers the exact mindset shifts unlocking growth, influence, and unstoppable execution. The national bestselling author of Keep Telling Yourself and founder of Cannonball Moments explains why teams win when leaders coach the person, not the position—and how identity drives behavior and results. He also reveals how a childhood "trauma" fueled a victim mentality that nearly destroyed him... until he uncovered the shocking truth years later that turned him into a sought‑after performance coach and host of The Cannonball Mindset.

Steal the frameworks: use his four‑question interrupt to dismantle limiting stories, practice the "pause of choice" before reacting, go all‑in by taking your hands off the chips, stop being "illiterate by choice," and upgrade from lack to abundance so performance follows. If you're leading teams or leading yourself, this conversation gives you clear steps to build confidence, culture, and revenue—without fluff. Watch, take notes, subscribe, and implement—this is your wake‑up call to unlock true abundance and stop self-sabotaging now.
