Master of Change
Master of Change is Out Now!!
Today is the day that I, Brad—with plenty of help from Steve and the entire Growth Eq community—have been working toward for the past three years: the release of my new book, Master of Change.
Thank you for pre-ordering the book! It should arrive on your doorstep imminently!
In the meantime, if you want to help celebrate the book's launch you can do so by liking, sharing, and commenting on social media:
If you also post about the book from your own social account, tag me and I'll do my best to re-share all of them!
As Steve and I have both written, social media can be awful, but it can also be useful. One of the ways in which it's the latter is spreading the word about good work; we are going to lean into that this week, and invite you to do the same. If you are not on a platform, great! If you are on a platform, please use it to help spread the word today!
More than anything, a heartfelt thank you.
Pre-orders go such a long way to help a book and this one got over 1600! Y'all are the engine of our Growth Equation community, and for that we are forever grateful. We truly couldn't do this without you.
We hope you dig the book and can't wait to hear what you think and discuss further over the coming week and month. Be on the lookout for some other neat opportunities and bonuses later this week!
Until then, much love,
-- Brad and Steve

When individuals score low on complexity, they have much wider swings of mood and emotions. Their self-worth is like a ping pong ball, bouncing back and forth, entirely dependent on whether that narrow self gets validated or rewarded or not. On the other end of the spectrum, higher levels of complexity buffer the effects of stress and any...
Reflect: Learn How to Read Your Body An experienced athlete can separate pain and injury. A stage performer can distinguish between nervousness and anxiety. An executive understands when her gut is pushing her in the right direction and when she should ignore it. An expert at reading our body is no different than the veteran pilot who needs to merely glance at a gauge instead of reading the label or manual. When we aren't able to make sense of our internal world, we turn to external ways to...
Reflect: Not Just About the Destination Excellence is not just about the destination. It's an internal standard of giving something your best shot, a process of becoming. The real reward isn't a bigger deadlift, a faster mile, a fancy promotion, or a sturdier table. The real reward is that you become a better version of yourself and experience the deep satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from giving something your all. -- The Way of Excellence Go Touch Grass: A Real World Survival Guide...
