John MolluraGUEST
Recovering perfectionist.
John MolluraGUEST
I talk about taking the next right action instead of waiting for perfect because I realized I use perfection as one of my favorite authors, John Acuff calls them noble obstacles.
John MolluraGUEST
A noble obstacle of perfection that I had to get this right when really what it was, and this was after much counseling and coaching and mentorship.
John MolluraGUEST
Years later, I realized I didn't want people to see that I wasn't perfect, that I didn't belong in that industry.

Because understanding what shapes us is one step.
Nathan UnruhHOST
So what we wanna do is choose soundtracks that work for you.
Nathan UnruhHOST
John Acuff wrote a great book called Soundtracks that allows us to replace and retire and repeat positive soundtracks.
Nathan UnruhHOST
And if we use these daily affirmations or soundtracks and these principles, it'll help rewire our inner dialogue toward truth and possibility.

You talk to yourself more than anyone else.
