Peter Crone is The Mind Architect—a writer, speaker, and thought leader in human potential who works with world-class entertainers, professional athletes, and global organizations to help them step outside of the world as they have always known it to finally identify what mental constructs have been holding them back and change their lives for the better.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Peter is known as The Mind Architect. But what is a mind architect, and how did this moniker stick when Peter's other attempts at personal branding fell flat?
The subtle difference between being vigilant and being observant, and which trait will ultimately serve you better.
How past hurt informs future fear and what we can do to control that fear for better outcomes.
The difference between solving a problem and dissolving a problem.
How we might strike a balance between recognizing and checking privilege without discounting the accomplishments of those who were lucky enough to start with some kind of advantage.
And so much more!
