Today on the Scheer Madness Podcast, Rachel is joined by Todd Herman, creator of the multi-award-winning Leadership & Skills Development Program, 90 Day Year, and author of the WSJ bestselling book, ‘The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life’, as well as ‘My Super Me’, a children’s book to help young kids navigate tough stuff.

Todd dives deep into what he calls the “alter ego”, and how it has the power to influence and motivate us to greater heights. Herman also dives into the key differences between “rituals” and “routines”, how ego and identity relate to one another, and some of the best practices to create real change.
