Today can be the worst day of your life, and tomorrow is gonna be the best, or it could be another worst day, but every day is different. You know, you can't kind of reflect on the past too much. Just keep on pushing forward.

All right, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. By trade in training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist and the co-founder of Compete to Create.

And that's a joint venture that I'm doing with Coach Carol, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

So the idea behind this podcast, these conversations, is to go out and learn from people who are on the path of mastery. And we want to understand what they're searching for, their psychological framework, how they see the world, themselves in it, and the mental skills that they've used to build and refine their craft.

I want to take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I want to pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just want to get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world. Because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change.

And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress. And as simple as that sounds, it's very tricky to do.

Okay, this week's conversation is with Brett Campbell.

And Brett is not globally known. So you're not gonna be able to say, oh, I recognize Brett's name.

But Brett is a successful serial entrepreneur. And I wanna learn about it. I wanna learn from people who have cracked it, who understand it, who've got real thoughts about entrepreneurship, are in the trenches and also guiding people. So he's currently the CEO of Harvey Partners, and that's his new firm that he's got. And they're focused on assisting new innovative businesses move from the startup to business ready. So Brett knew he wanted to run his own business from an early age. And this conversation sheds light on his experience along the way. And everything from learning the ropes, working from his uncle, to going out on his own, to selling his first business and mentoring others, Brett's seen it all. So this is a nice arc on entrepreneurship. And then if you're saying to yourself, well, I'm not interested in entrepreneurship, think about what entrepreneurship really is about. It's about having an idea, building your team around that idea, taking risks, laying bets, backing yourself, backing others, backing the idea, and then really figuring out how to do something that maybe others haven't done. So in this space of entrepreneurship and progression and mindset, I think that there's a lot to learn from those who have been in the amphitheater, whether it was real risk and they're laying real bets on themselves and their future. And so that's one of the reasons I think you'll find this conversation interesting.
