Here is an introduction that my friend Nic Peterson wrote for Dr. Jeff Spencer, and I deem it great, he has allowed me to use it, so here it is :) You likely have not heard of the person I am about to introduce to you... But, I bet you have heard of some of these people... * Tiger Woods? * Lance Armstrong? * How about the band U2? *  Maybe Dave Asprey of Bulletproof Coffee? * There are a couple of dozen CEOs from some of the most enduring brands in the Fortune 500 that have definitely heard of him... * And there are 46 Olympic Medalists, many of them Gold that are very happy to have heard of him. You see, this man has served as their Cornerman, elevating their performance and key strengths to new heights, so they can compete and consistently win at the highest level of their chosen fields. This isn't just a guy that you're introduced to you that may or may not have something important to say, he is a gift that is bestowed upon you... Your life will never be the same again. I proudly GIFT to you, Dr. Jeff Spencer

A brief foray into an interesting principle that connects momentum, anxiety, and the question of when to speak up, and act, vs. withholding, withdrawing, and inaction. You'll benefit from this episode if: -You sometimes overthink things and get stuck on what to reveal vs. conceal to those around you. -You sometimes find it challenging to decipher if sharing your thoughts, and/or taking a particular action would benefit you and those around you. -You'd like more clarity on momentum -You'd like to discover a hidden link/node to your fear network which may be triggered every time you experience anxiety, so you can ultimately feel less anxiety. If you enjoy this episode, it would mean the world to me if you left a review. Thanks!
