As a new year dawns, are you feeling ready to tackle the year head on? Want a little fresh perspective to help you get ahead?
If there’s one thing that sets the greatest leaders above the pack, it’s the mindset they carry through challenging times.
Curveball’s the podcast where you learn how to thrive when you’ve been thrown a curly one. But how exactly do you cultivate a positive mindset? How do you create that voice inside that tells you “keep going, you can do it!”?
The masterful leaders – the top athletes, successful artists, and the sharpest business owners – will tell you it’s a discipline. It doesn’t happen by magic, but is does create a little magic if you stick with it.
And guess what else? This sense of stoicism, the idea you can have courage even when facing obstacles – is an ancient philosophy that was first coined during, wait for it, a pandemic. Yup, really. For more on stoicism, I recommend both Ryan Holiday’s book The Obstacle is the Way and the Tim Ferriss podcast.
We’re bringing you some short tips and hacks from exceptional leaders that will help frame your 2021. So hit download on this bite-sized episode for a quick dose of energy. It's basically a short black with a dash of inspo.
