I called it the brain bully because it was so pervasive.

It's also known as the saboteur, the inner critic.

It's that voice in your head that's saying to you, you're not good enough.

Nobody's going to like this.

Everybody hates you.

This is not landing.

It is the root cause of poor communication.

So the whole foundation of what I do is expose the disease of your ums, sos, repeating yourself, rambling.

It's the brain bully.

It's not what you're saying.

It's not a power pose.

It's not any quick hack.

It is the voice in your head that's running the show and has the microphone.

And it's coming out of your mouth in a not clear or concise way.

I'm great, John.

Thanks for having me.

Let's dig in.

I think what you're talking about is when I decided to leave that 15 year career, that secure contract, that trajectory that many would say, why would you ever walk away from that type of career?

But John, you know this in digging into people's life stories on this podcast, that if you're not fulfilled, if you're not passionate about what you do, it doesn't matter what your title is.

It doesn't matter how big of a name that the company is.
