The Action Catalyst
Master the Game Within, with Patrick McAndrew (Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Self-Improvement, Focus)

So much of business is about your own internal game. The actual dynamics of business are not that difficult. There are problems which need to be solved. But what's the challenge there? Well, the inherent challenge is capacity to sustain change and the capacity to be malleable and adaptive. That's what our unique capacity as human beings are, is this capacity to mutate.

The first time I came to the States, I think I was maybe 19 and we came on a family trip and we went to Keirwater Beach for Christmas. And as you can imagine, The United States was New York in my mind. Like that was the country that there was no sense or curiosity about the others. And I remember driving from Tampa to Clearwater and I had never seen things like strip malls.

And they're the most foreign alien looking thing ever, like seeing Dunkin Donuts and Wendy's and Burger King, but all in these streets. just sort of these parallel units alongside a road. I don't really think this doesn't look like the impression that I had of this country at all.

I think there's always just been a tendency just to follow curiosities. So when I was in college, I studied law, but I had a radio show. I also worked in a regional radio station as a sound engineer. So I would be there during the live shows and I would be turning on the ads and fading in the music and all that stuff and meeting the guests and There was something there.
