Breaking Free from the Zero-Sum Game
In today's episode, I explore the powerful concept that the more I give, the more I'm given, but only if I'm willing to receive.

By receiving more, we can give more, creating an infinite loop of abundance. I also discuss how fear and ego reactions can interfere with this process, and how gratitude, forgiveness, and accountability can help us embrace and utilize all that we're given.
