500 | Dr. Michael Gervais: Why FOPO Holds Us Back & What to Do About it!

When we started this podcast nearly a decade ago, we never imagined we’d reach this milestone… 

🎉 🎉 🎉 Well folks, here we are celebrating our 500TH EPISODE!!  🎉🎉🎉 

A massive thank you to our incredible, go-getter community, we’re so proud and grateful to have built, and be part of, such an amazing group of people.  

To mark this huge milestone, we’ve invited a leader in his field – someone who helps others achieve their best. 

Please welcome one of the world’s best high-performance psychologist…

Dr. Michael Gervais! 🎤✨ 

Michael is a bestselling author, host of the popular “Finding Mastery” podcast and co-creator of the “Finding Your Best” self-improvement course. (phew!)  

With over 20 years of experience working with elite athletes, military personnel, and top executives, he’s sharing his wisdom on the Art of Self-Mastery and why being present is “the keyhole to the good life.”   

From his 3 criteria to consider BEFORE investing your time, to practical mental defence tools like the Screens technique, Michael teaches us how to apply these concepts to life, money, finance, and lifestyle by design. 

It’s a milestone episode with a guest who has absolutely blown our hair back. Give it a listen now, folks! 🔥
