004: Origins (Behind the Scenes)

In this episode, we revisit the origins of the Beyond Poker project by giving you a backstage pass to the conversation that inspired it. We never intended to release this call to the public, but upon revisiting it in the building phase of our episode list we just couldn’t resist. Our hope is that it gives our listeners a chance to tap into the energy we were in at that time, and to come away with the confidence to pursue a project that feels true, even if you don’t quite know where it leads. Key Takeaways Why Type A personalities are prone to succeed - and why so many of them need help to create sustainable, lasting careers and happy lives. Why loading more stress on yourself does not guarantee you’ll make more money - and how this misguided belief distracts and confuses a lot of Type A personalities. Why people like Michael Jordan and David Goggins who perform at an incredible level for years or decades are outliers - and why so many Type A personalities can barely rest or take time off. How to understand the difference between control energy and cooperative energy - and why it’s always in your best interest not to engage with people who need to be right. How to clarify your intent, surround yourself with people who will lift your abilities, and see the value in other journeys that people might be taking.
