Dr. Jason Brooks: Overcoming Self-Beliefs, Challenging the Stories That Hold Us Back | E2

In this episode, Grant White and performance psychologist Jason redefine wealth as an internal state of freedom achieved by removing the mental "interference" that blocks our true potential. They discuss practical strategies for overcoming self-imposed limitations through consistent, marginal gains rather than reliance on willpower alone.

Key Takeaways

• Freedom is Active, Not Passive: True freedom isn’t just the absence of financial worry; it is having a compelling vision and something exciting to look forward to every single day.‍
• Fact-Check Your Fears: When anxiety about money or the market strikes, distinguish between the emotional "voice" in your head and the objective facts. Meeting fear with data allows you to respond neutrally rather than react emotionally.‍
• Trust the "Diet Soda" Method: When making lifestyle or financial changes, consistency beats intensity. Like the doctor who spent three months just switching to diet soda before hitting the gym, you must set goals small enough to hit 10/10 times to build self-trust before tackling the mountain.‍
• Peace in Acceptance: You cannot control inflation or global politics. Freedom comes from stopping the energy drain of wishing reality was different and focusing entirely on navigating the conditions as they actually are.
