Takeaways from our Audience
Takeaways from Shawn Ryan Show #34 Cody Alford
Have a Toolbox
“Instead of beating myself up, I just give myself power to embrace the suffering… Now, I’m like ‘How can I keep my word to myself today? How can I do what I said I was going to do for my wife? How can I maximize my time? How can I not be lazy today? How can I push myself towards the more unknown, obscure, scary dark abyss?’ ”
– Cody Alford
Mindset: Be the Best Version of Yourself
“I know that I will always be challenged, I’ll always be tested and I’ll always have the opportunity to be a victim. Always. If I have the opportunity to be very happy today, I have the instant opportunity to be very sad a single second later… I went from fng being an ultimate victim, couldn’t be self-sufficient, to I’m limitless dude. I find a way.”
