E.18 - Great Questions with Marc Champagne

Marc Champagne is a Mental Fitness Strategist who has spent over a decade studying, writing and talking about mental fitness as host of the top 50 ranked Behind The Human podcast and author of the best-selling book, Personal Socrates.

Marc shares the truth about 'imposter syndrome,' the simple wisdom he's gleaned from interviewing hundreds of incredibly talented, successful humans, and how a great question can be the catalyst to healing, growth, and personal transformation beyond your wildest dreams.

Quotable:

"I do think that a mental fitness gym is essential. I think it's more important than a physical gym because it's the mind that tells you to go to the physical gym. Right? So if all else fails, I'm doing something for my mind every day, cuz that at least gives me better control to make better decisions for everything else, for what I put in my body, for what I don't put in my body, whether I move my body, like all of that stuff."

"The magic that happens is that you shift your mind in the matter of minutes from being scared of the uncertainty, to being excited about the possibility of what's gonna come in that realm. That's something that I see happen over and over again."

"A question that stopped all of that for a moment of time, which was, 'what do you want for your life?' That allowed me to form a plan and come out of those negative spiraling loops. I share that because if I ask that question right now, it serves as a good check-in. It completely changed, my life essentially."
