## Resource

This is a conversation about habits, the ones you want to build and the ones you want to get rid of. Jon Gordon has written more than 30 books on leadership, habits and mindset, including numerous bestsellers. Jon's most recent book is titled The Power of Positive Habits , and it tackles a critical issue so many of us face: how do I break the habits that no longer serve me, and how do I build ones that will help me flourish? Jon and Mike discuss the inward reflections that have helped them break the patterns that have held them back. Jon talks about how he needed to heal wounds from his childhood before he could really break his most challenging habits. The path he describes is not easy, but one well worth considering. This is a conversation about self-awareness, self-challenge, and how to build practical habits, like gratitude, visualization, and something Jon calls the habit before the habit. "You are your habits," Jon says, and the best part is you can choose new ones.
