Hey Reader! 👋 I've been taking a bit of a summer break, then I friend reminded me that I have this awesome weekly podcast and if nothing else I should share some tidbit with you. Today my guest, Mike Dwyer, gave two pieces of advice for transformative personal growth:

I was frustrated—missing shots, poor returns. I even caught my shirt on the fencing and tore a hole in it. I put myself in a time-out. As I walked to the fountain to refill my water bottle, I did a mental check-in. Yes, I was frustrated. I could leave my hand on that hot stove of negativity, or I could...
