Ep 59: The Strength is in the Struggle: Mindset Mastery with Ross Tschirn

Ross Tschirn quit a Navy SEAL bootcamp after just 4 days. However, that "failure" became the catalyst that transformed him from a corporate drone into a successful entrepreneur with multiple lucrative revenue streams.

• The limiting belief filter system that determines who belongs in your life and who's holding you back
