Thread: Dropping out of medical school was terrifying.

For money, I had to do something embarrassing; door-to-door sales in my hometown... calling on doctors who all knew me.

I didnt know where my career was going but knew my intuition was guiding me in the right direction.

I decided I wanted to get into medical devices. I was told I had no experience but I kept applying, reaching out, and staying positive.
I got my first break as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics (now acq. by @Medtronic ). I still didn’t know where I was going but stayed patient and trusted my intuition.
A year later, I was promoted to US marketing manager. I was unsure about marketing but I was good at it.

The role had a massive scope of duties. From shipping robotic systems to marketing meetings with hospital admin, I was doing everything.

But I was also learning everything.
I was a young man figuring out the system.

And magically it also helped me figure “me” out.

When you follow your intuition it’s scary. It never gives details but it’s always right.
You don’t need to see ahead 10 steps; you just need the next step. Your intuition will guide you if you trust the process.

You don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great.

If you want to ruin your life and never reach your full potential just do any of these 13 things 👇 Image
1. Foster Self-Doubt and Low Self-Worth

Make people believe they aren’t good enough or capable enough.
Encourage negative self-talk and a mindset of “I can’t” or “I’m not worthy.”

This internal dialogue can paralyze them, keeping them from even trying to pursue their goals or passions.

There are 3 topics I am actively thinking about a lot these days:

Topic #1: Persuasion
I am interested in persuasion because it's probably the most powerful skill you could have in the world.
Topic #2: Psychology
I first got interested in psychology over ten years ago when I dropped out of medical school and started as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics, a medtech company.
My late mentor Chris Sells introduced me to it—and since then, I have learned a lot about the importance of observing how people make decisions, what actions they take, and why they did it.

Kicking off the first Monday of #2022NewYear with a splash!

I've been doing weekly #wimhoff ice plunges for years along with daily cold showers. Here's why (THREAD) Image
Back in 2015 I went through a difficult time in life. I was depressed, stressed out, and overall carrying a negative attitude.
I heard about #wimhoff and decided to try it. I started with ice cold showers every morning (still doing it).

Then while in Charlevoix during December I decided to go swim in Lake Michigan. It was 8 degrees outside

It was so painful and uncomfortable, but something changed.

My favorite Carl Jung quotes (a thread). #WednesdayWisdom Image
- Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams: who looks inside, awakes
- I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

9/11 still gets me choked up. Im even more emotional looking at the photo below.

This country is by far from perfect, but there's a reason why the majority of people who leave their country to pursue their dreams say "Im going to America." #September11 1/5 Image
The people below were immigrants in a naturalization ceremony at the White House.

At the ceremony, President @realDonaldTrump said “Today, America rejoices as we welcome 5 absolutely incredible new members into our great American family." 2/5
These people didn't come to America just because of the money, the real estate, the healthcare, the education, etc. There are plenty of countries that are better in each of those categories.

They came here because of the idea of what it means to be an American. 3/5
