In This Interview Jeff and I Discuss...

The One You Feed parable
The fixed and growth mindsets
Choosing between being a victim and a victor
The secret to an extraordinary life
Finding your calling
How for most people finding their calling is a roundabout process
How hidden in our obstacles and challenges often lie our purpose
Learning to take the next step
Using the surprises and setbacks we encounter for the good
Walking the path of your life
That difficulties are a prerequisite to a meaningful life
How mentors come in many forms and multiple people
Accidental apprenticeships
How no one gets changed by an idea, it takes action along with the idea
Not dreaming but doing
How the work always comes before we feel ready
