## Resource

Christopher Reeve spent two grueling hours every morning just getting out of bed, yet still lobbied Congress, directed award-nominated films, authored bestselling books, and became a sought-after public speaker. His was a real obstacle. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy draws a sharp line between obstacles like Reeve's and the cobwebs most would-be impact-makers mistake for walls, drawing on the remarkable story of how Kenneth Cole secured a permit no one else could get by asking one different question. Darren also walks through the mental framework for identifying whether the barrier you are facing is a wall or a cobweb, and what it actually looks like to dismantle the ones you built yourself.
