This whole world that we have lived in for the last 75 years is done. It's broken.

This is it. Historically, when we look back at now, we will say there was this thing, the post-war world, it lasted from 1945 until 2020 On 2020, it was already breaking, but with the pandemic and all of the implications and all of the cascading effects of the pandemic, that world broke.

All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais by Trade in Trading. I'm a sport and performance psychologist. And so the whole idea around this podcast is to be immersed in conversations with people who are on the path of mastery to better understand what they're searching for, to understand their psychological framework, which really is about how do they make sense of themselves, events, the world around them, and then what are the mental skills that they use to build and refine their craft.

I wanna 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 wanna pose a question.
