Then I went to college.

I started noticing a change in the kids who succeeded and the kids who didn't.

Then I went to, you know, San Francisco and I worked for Accenture, this global consulting company.

And then, you know, now I've been a high performance coach for 20 plus years.

And it,

Work with the world's best teams, athletes, and everything.

And one thing is the way they talk about responsibility.

One complains, blames, hates it.

Another goes, I wonder what I have to be to handle that next level of complexity and difficulty.

Like, what skill set?

What competency do I need to deal with?

And they want the challenge.

It is the tell of the high performer.

They want the challenge.

It's the tell of positive psychology called flow, right?

Flow state is you're like going just beyond your current skillset or competency and a challenge you're engaged in and it's timely and you need to be quote unquote engaged.

And I think it's just interesting.

Are you a person who is fully engaged, taking on hard things that are responsibilities maybe you didn't want or you did?

But we all know somebody who's a deadbeat dad, right?

We all know somebody who just refuses to own up to the lie.
