If all of this goes away, all of the, you know, anyone wanting to interview me, or the ability to write a book, or the ability to set world records, or the ability to do the things that I guess I am sort of more or less identified as or with in the world right now, I have actually found some of my truest, happiest, peaceful, loving moments with nothing. With nothing alone in Antarctica, with nothing sitting in silence on a meditation pillow, and to know that makes me feel happy about the future, knowing if all this goes away, I'm also really, really good.

Alright, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast, Michael Gervais and by trade and training, a sport performance psychologist, as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create. And the whole idea behind the Finding Mastery podcast is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery. And what we want to do is to better understand what is it that they're searching for, how do they organize their inner life, their mental skills, so that they can explore the nuances of both who they are as a person, mastery of self, and then also mastery of craft. Like how do they really understand how to be able to excel and express whatever that craft is across any condition. And it's really what we're coming to understand as mastery, both mastery of craft and self. And if you're inspired to train your mind in the same way that I help world-class athletes do, we've set up a course for just that. So punch over to competetocreate.net forward slash finding mastery, and you'll get a $50 discount as well.

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.
