Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

I'm so pumped to welcome back the one and only Seth Mattison for a special 2018 and Holiday edition of the Resist Average Academy podcast. Every December, I take time to reflect on the biggest lessons from the year —and encourage all my clients to do the same. This includes looking back at the places we won, we were challenged and all the lessons that come with that. During this episode, I welcome back Seth because of our connection and how much I admire his honesty —for you to be able to join us in reflecting on this year and hopefully inspiring you to do the same. You're going to not only discover our lessons but be able to listen in and use them as application and integration moments for your own life, growth and business.

Billionaires. What really separates them from you and I? Today I’ll have you consider it has very little to do with talent, skill or experience. Sure, those matter.
