Highlights of the Podcast

• The difference between a victim and an underdog, lies in our approach to taking on a new challenge. When you feel overwhelmed, view yourself as an underdog, take action, and celebrate the small victories.
• We are all considered an underdog in some facet of our life. Be compassionate towards those willing to try.
• Praising work ethic is far more powerful than praising talent. Cultivate this in youth through encouragement of work ethic and character.
• The dark side of the underdog mentality is letting anger and resentment dictate your path. Be pro-active in establishing a powerful “why” behind your pursuits rather than being reactive to your environment.
