Season 5 Episode #21 Mitch Weisburgh is coming from Larchmont, New York (inform, inspire, & transform)

You can find Mitchell via his website https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com

About our guest: For over four decades, Mitch has been at the intersection of education, technology, and learning transformation, helping individuals, educators, and organizations rethink how we learn, teach, and grow. Recently Mitch authored Mind Shifting: Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success.

Mitch is the creator of the Mind Shifting Method — a neuroscience-backed system helping high-achievers, coaches, and transformational leaders move beyond mindset alone to rewire their emotional operating systems for sustainable resilience, clarity, and self-trust. Mitch works at the root level, so resilience, creativity, and powerful leadership become automatic, not exhausting. When individuals stop fighting their own brain, growth stops feeling like survival — and starts feeling like freedom.

Mitch, thanks for sharing your many gifts with people all over the world, thanks for continuing to challenge yourself to learn, grow and teach. Thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients – Welcome to the Show!
