David joins me today to discuss the relationship between performance and pain. He describes how he helps people restructure their perception of pain as it relates to their ability to perform. He reveals the greatest catalyst of change in a person’s life and why it’s challenging to continue growing as a person after finding business success. He defines what Froglogic is and outlines its four components. David also highlights why finding a purpose is an essential component of living a life of meaning and underscores why people need to have more faith in each other.
