Mind Shift with Erwin & Aaron McManus

Erwin and Aaron McManus are back after a quick "spring break" and dive right into discussing current cultural events, including Covid-19 vaccines, reactions to the Derek Chauvin trial, and the social hurdles we're soon to face as society returns to normal. They chat about Erwin's recent trip to a conference in Miami, from what it was like to return to speaking in front of hundreds of people, to the concepts and ideas that were presented at this event for successful entrepreneurs. Erwin comments on how to respond when people criticize Christianity, and how you can create the mindset that you have to earn the right for your voice to be heard in every room. –Links from this episode– The Ed Mylett Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ed-mylett-show/id1181233130 Born to Impact with Joel Marion: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/born-to-impact/id1437958494 — Check out Battle Ready merch here: shop.erwinmcmanus.com/collections/battleready — Follow us on Instagram @battlereadypodcast Email us: aaron@battlereadypodcast.com www.battlereadypodcast.com
