    ATG 237: Summer Soundtracks Part 1: I Am the CEO of My Actions, Not My Outcomes
    Jul 7 2025

    Have you ever felt frustrated trying to control things that are completely out of your hands? In this episode, I'm kicking off a new summer series where I randomly pick cards from my Soundtracks Conversation Deck and share the mindset shifts that can change everything. Today's soundtrack: "I am the CEO of my actions, not the CEO of my outcomes." We'll talk about why remarkable people focus on what they can control while accepting what they can't, plus I'll share how this one shift helped me stop getting mad at Nashville weather (yes, we get more rain than Seattle—I looked it up like a complete dork). Ready to let go of outcomes and lean into action this summer? Listen to this episode now.

    Do you ever catch yourself saying "I'm too busy" when someone asks you to connect? Mo Bunnell, author of Give to Grow, says that's one of five lies keeping us stuck—and he's got the research to prove it. In this episode, Mo breaks down his "Cut to Climb" process (30 minutes quarterly to find 50 hours you'll never waste again) and his MIT system for weekly planning that actually works. Plus, you'll hear about his genius ChatGPT setups for family, work, and decision-making that sound like something from the future. Oh, and yes, we definitely talk about his green-cheeked conure and miniature donkey. Tune in to hear more!
