In this episode, I delve into the concept of self-identity and how it's shaped by various factors including our genes, experiences, circumstances, and perceptions of others.

We often receive direct or indirect feedback from our surroundings which influence our self-perception and inadvertently shape our identity.

However, these external influences may not always align with our true selves, and it's crucial to introspect and decide who we really are.

This episode encourages listeners to question their current identity and consider whether it truly represents who they are and who they want to be. It delves into the concept of self-fulfilling prophecies and how our choices, actions, and results can mold the identity we wish to present to the world.

A key focus of this podcast is the identification of core values, the foundational elements that underpin our identity. We discuss the need for understanding these values, what we stand for, and what we accept or reject in our lives. We also discuss the importance of choosing core values that resonate deeply with us and align with our self-perception.

As a practical exercise, listeners are encouraged to research a list of core values and identify those that truly speak to them. The process may take weeks or months, but it forms the crucial first step in choosing and creating our desired identity. While other steps are involved in this process, such as strategizing and setting action items, the homework, for now, is to start identifying our core values.

This episode will resonate with anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of their identity, core values, and the journey of self-discovery.

I want to show you how envisioning the future isn't just about daydreams, it's about crafting concrete, actionable plans.

On this podcast, we'll be going on a shared journey, examining how to build visions, set goals, and put in place a practical framework for realizing those ambitions. 

From creating long-term visions to devising mid-term plans and, finally, nailing down short-term (90-day) action items, we'll break down the process into understandable, achievable steps.

Rather than focusing on broad philosophical notions, I want to provide a toolkit that will enable you to envision your personal and professional future with clarity. 

Drawing from my own experiences and those of my guests, we'll cover a wide range of topics and share real-life stories, mishaps, and triumphs.

Every episode is packed with action items and challenges to keep you engaged and drive you to implement what you've learned in real-time. 

Whether you're an entrepreneur on the verge of starting your journey or a professional seeking growth, or simply someone who wants to take control of their future, this podcast is for you. 

Let's get practical, let's get hands-on, and let's embrace the future because remember, the future starts now.
