Chelsea shares the gratitude habit she uses every night and how she rewrote a belief she carried since childhood. Plus, Devan shares some breaking news: he’s writing a book.Your takeaway: Wake up happier. Choose your effort. Be honest with yourself.📚 Books mentioned: Mindset by Carol Dweck, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, and Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves.🔔 Subscribe to the Burn Boot Camp Podcast on YouTube.

Put them in an accountable environment. Run Level 10 meetings. Maximize player development. That’s a dynasty in one sentence.It’s a people philosophy, not an HR playbook.
