"Where life is lived is that you’re either problem solving, you’re creating the future, or experiencing the present. And, the truth is that whatever you’re experiencing in the present is based off of the decisions you made in the past. And, it’s your choice to create whatever your reality is that you’re going to eventually experience, or God forbid something hits you, rather than dwelling on it or hoping it didn’t happen, if you problem solve and handle it, you can basically live a life with no negative thoughts if you learn to live in a state of either experiencing, creating or, problem solving, in your entire life. But, it’s on you to understand what that is, to be able to live in that state." - Rob Dyrdek (excerpt from My First Million Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkLNy4vpPCI)

"Things that never happened before happen all the time." - Scott Sagan

In this episode we explore how the only consistency in life is inconsistency or randomness, and how we truly don't know what's going to happen.

We break down what exactly the Growth Mindset is, and how to practically apply it to your life for self-improvement! We discuss how we all have the growth and fixed mindsets, and need to find a balance between both mindsets.

"When i was released from the company (UFC), I was at the bottom of my life, but watch me now, talking with you (Joe Rogan), and holding this heavy belt!" - Brandon Moreno, UFC Flyweight Champion

When I think Growth Mindset, I think the UFC Flyweight Champion of the Word, Brandon Moreno. The ultimate underdog, that was ranked bottom seed when he came into the Ultimate Fighter, eventually got cut from the UFC, and clawed his way back on a huge winning streak, and finally achieving his goal.

We didn't have Brandon's quote in this podcast because it was more of a self-discovery podcast episode, talking about what the Growth Mindset is, how it can be achieved, and what our mission is.
