QUOTES “You're gonna have to do things that sometimes don't feel good to get what you really want.” “The reason why it's so hard for us to figure out what it is that we really want is because as creatures we're designed to figure out how to stay safe.” “Usually we think our job is our ultimate 30,000 foot focus. It's not. Life is too short to make it all about our job.” “You're gonna have to do things that sometimes don't feel good to get what you really want.” "The idea is that it's not about trying to “fix it.” It's about how do I get beyond it? How do I make sure that it doesn't stop me in living the life that I wanna live?" "The more you don't want this thing to show up, it will show up. And the more you try to push it down, the stronger it pushes back." "If you focus on your purpose, the thing that you're hoping won’t happen, will happen less - than if you get really hyperfocused on stopping thing." "People are craving the return to authenticity. The simplicity, the self, the inner... as technology continues to grow, the need for people to reconnect with their inner true self is gonna continue to grow." "We are social creatures. People act as mirrors... you wanna be around people that give you a certain type of wisdom, perspective, experience."

  • #86 How to Own Your Voice in High-Stakes Situations, With Mark Friedlich

    #86 How to Own Your Voice in High-Stakes Situations, With Mark Friedlich
    Aug 14 2025

    Listen in for a masterclass in courage: not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear run the show.

    Mark Friedlich grew up in a tenement apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the son of Holocaust survivors, sharing a bedroom and living with scarcity. Today, he speaks on global stages, testifies before Congress, and serves as Vice President of Government Affairs at a multinational corporation.

    He also stutters, sometimes noticeably, always unapologetically.

    In this raw, powerful conversation, Mark shares how he built a career at the highest levels of leadership without ever hiding his voice. He doesn’t minimize his fear. He prepares. He shows up. He speaks anyway.

    If you’ve ever feared speaking up in a meeting, on a stage, or in a tough conversation, this episode will change how you see fear, confidence, and what it really means to own your voice.

    In this episode on how to own your voice in high-stakes situations, you’ll discover:

    • Why Mark never saw stuttering as an impediment, and what that mindset unlocked for him;
    • The difference between fear that stops us and fear that sharpens us;
    • How to own your voice in high-stakes situations, even if you stutter;
    • How to respond with strength and grace when other people give you “the look”;
    • How preparation, mindset, and choosing discomfort can be antidotes to holding back;
    • Mark's memorable conversation with President Bill Clinton;
    • And more.

    Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, burnout, or a new season of change, this episode offers practical and empowering tools for personal growth and a reminder that you’re stronger than you think.

    • How to grow your courage muscle and take action through fear
    • Tools to help you identify limiting beliefs
