Episode #89
Brendon Watt
Our guest today is Brendon Watt. Brendon once subscribed to the idea that in order to be happy, you have to fit a certain mold and follow a set path in life. He was the opposite of his true self and felt as if he was in hiding. This led to him being severely depressed and almost hitting rock bottom.
Now, Brendon is a successful entrepreneur and author, and is passionate about showing people that fitting in is not the secret to happiness, and that unhiding who you are is the key to feeling at peace in yourself.
During our conversation we discuss...
- The hour and a half that changed Brendon‘s life
- The power of choice
- Why we need to stop trying to fit in in order to be happy
- How to deal with judgment?
- How applying these principles helped Brendon improve his finances
