03 Aug 2021
Ben Hunt-Davis MBE is an Olympic Gold medalist who won the men's team rowing event for team GB at the Sydney Olympics. He explains how to build a new life after you retire from being an athlete and have to move into the rest of the world. There are a lot of great lessons for finding your place and the ways to focus on the right things. We discuss: * The effects of achieving your dreams and what happens next * How to prioritise what to focus on and what to ignore and setting up bullshit filters * The importance of planning rather than going with the flow - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create. Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be our best. - - - Connect with Sam: Creativity Newsletter - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube (Growth Mindset) Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: Retiring as an Olympian: What happens after you hit your goals - Ben Hunt-Davis MBE Learn more about your ad choices.
