They are all business failures.

How long you got?

Which I find so interesting.

Did you make a deliberate decision not to choose personal failures?

Yes.

Great.

Well, I'm very grateful because here's all the data that we can acquire.

Let's go.

So thank you.

So your first failure is having an employee mentality.

One of the things that I really appreciate about your book is the way that you handle emotions as sort of body-based information.

Because as you're talking, I'm realizing that I often operate from a place of such fear and it's misplaced fear, but it's fear that I've done something wrong that I might not have known about, that I am in above my head.

How would you advise anyone feeling that in a business setting to handle it?

So you also say about this employee mentality that early on in your career, you believed that you needed to be loyal to your employers and it kept you around longer than you needed to stay in certain places.

Tell us about that.

I know.

It goes viral every time.

So that's why I'm asking.

But I think that also what you're saying is that this idea of having it all has to be a myth.

You said this line, I'm going to misquote it, but it's something like, I place such a high value on my own opinion that anyone else's opinions pales into insignificance.
