## Resource

Stop reacting and start responding. In the premiere of the rebranded Own. Move. Anchor., Kevin Pannell explores the life-changing power of "The Space Between"—the split-second where you reclaim control, even when circumstances feel overwhelming. Drawing on the profound survival insights of psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, this episode breaks down why we default to "automatic" reactions and how that cycle shapes our leadership, relationships, and results. You don’t rise to your plan when pressure builds; you fall back to the systems you’ve built. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Frankl Framework: Why "The Space Between" is a survival tool, not just a philosophy. Reaction vs. Response: How to identify the "fast" triggers in your day—from high-stakes meetings to traffic—that cause you to drift. Training for Mental Control: Why physical stress (BJJ, hard workouts) is essential for teaching your mind to "stay" when things get difficult. The Micro-Ownership Practice: A simple, one-breath habit to pause and choose a better response today. Own your mind. Move your body. Anchor your spirit. Resources: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
