#240: Gavin McHale - Unlocking Your True Potential for 2024
Gavin McHale is a former elite goaltender who was perhaps destined for the NHL. But he self sabotaged his potential career, then blamed everything else for his failure. He realized his mind wasn’t up to the task with his limiting beliefs, and made MANY mistakes until he found the power of coaching, mentoring and MINDSET! As he says now, he would make fun back then of the person he’s become now, but he’s in a completely different place, with an incredible work/life balance and work satisfaction as a success coach. If you are not living up to your true potential, TUNE IN!
Gavin mentions an app called Opal that allows you to act as a gatekeeper to set which hours you’d like access to any app or website. After those hours are up, you are ‘locked’ out of the apps and websites you choose, so you aren’t tied to your phone during family time or critical office time.
