Perfectionism makes you careful, it doesn't actually make you great. And so I realized from my career, from my music, from my writing, if I wanted to try to become a master in my life, in my music, in my craft, in my art, I had to let go of perfectionism, I had to let go of any kind of safety net, and I had to be willing to take big risks. What does it take to take a big risk?

It takes self-love.

All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. And the idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery. We want to better understand the path they've lived and the path they're carving.

We want to understand what they crave, what they're hungry for, what they want more than anything else in their life. And we want to understand why they're straining and what it is that they're searching for in their life, how they see the world and understand it. What is their world view and how they see themselves in it. And we want to dig underneath the surface and see if we can understand 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, but it is about fundamentally changing your relationship with it. And that's why I'm so thrilled to invite you to a special event.

Okay, this conversation is with Soren Gordhamer and singer-songwriter Jewel.

Soren is a friend and a founder of Wisdom 2.0, and I've enjoyed his friendship immensely. And it's not so much the frequency of our time, but it's the nature and the quality of our relationship that is so pure and so true. And so what he's done at Wisdom 2.0, if you're not familiar with it, I encourage you to go check it out. He's brought tech leaders and wisdom leaders together to have a deep exchange of ideas and practices and practices with one purpose, which is how to better or how to impact better the living and working environments for us and maybe the next generation.
