Just Win: Mental Frames, and Becoming the Hero of Your Story : Ep 369

What story am I telling myself about my own life? In this episode, I break down the three core mental frames—victim, survivor, and hero—that I see at the heart of every self-help book, therapy session, or motivational seminar. I share a story from John D. Rockefeller’s youth that completely changed the way I look at my own journey. I get personal about some of the hardest moments I’ve faced, and I explain why choosing the “hero” frame isn’t about pretending life is easy—it’s about deciding to win, no matter where I start. I’ll walk you through how self-talk has shaped my life, why I think the myth of equal outcomes holds people back, and even how the way I describe my spouse or my past has helped me reshape my future. If you’ve ever felt stuck or wanted to rewrite your own story, this episode is for you—I’m sharing what’s actually worked for me.Want to launch a fund?
