In this episode, Matt and I explore the innate magic and potential within us and his mission of fostering that in people. We discuss the role of rest in growth and development and illustrate how we all have limitless possibilities. We dive into the fear high-achievers have around taking days off and the fear of not having enough time to make an impact in the world. We also discuss how everything is possible, even in things that are contradictory, and how by showing your ANDs, you can create opportunity and authentic leadership.
