Being Great Instead of the Best, "Why Not Me?" Mentality, & Buying Back Your Time with Micah Diele from @centralvalleypodcast

Today's episode is with Micah Diele, the creator and host of The Central Valley Podcast (@centralvalleypodcast), a show that features talks with talented, creative, and hardworking individuals from the central valley of California. The show aims to create a sense of community and belonging with all listeners, not just those within the local area. Micah is also a skilled and dedicated videographer and photographer. In this episode some of things we talk about among others are:

• Why it is better to focus on being great at something as opposed to the best
• How we can begin to adopt "why not me?" mentality and stop thinking that greatness is destined for "other people"
• How wanting, wishing, and inaction are potentially causing you needless suffering
• How no one really cares about your mistakes, so stop caring about what they think
• How critical it is to begin to free up your time
