Manage Your Nerves, Unlock Your Mind & Find Your Power | AMA Vol. 18 w/ Dr. Michael Gervais

We're super excited to share the 18th volume of Finding Mastery’s Ask Me Anything (AMA) series.

In this latest conversation, O'Neil and I tackle a common yet formidable challenge many of us face: the fear of public speaking. We unpack strategies to overcome this fear, emphasizing the power of calibration, reflection, and the critical role relationships play in our personal growth.

We also explore topics like:
- Practical insights for managing anxiety and nerves
- How to be your own tuning fork of excellence
- Creating space in your life for experimentation and exploration
- Putting yourself in positions of power in your own life
- How to shift from a performance-based to a purpose-based identity.

And so much more…

As always, I have so much fun during these AMAs, and I hope it provides insights for you as you look to push boundaries, explore your potential, and thrive within the complexities of the modern world.

Wishing you an epic week.

With Fire,
Mike
