Taking Action, Understanding Fear & the Power of Micro Shifts With Bret Lockett

Ep. 12

Life has its way of shifting us in directions we never thought possible. 


Joining me today is a man who is a true testament to this and an example of how, when we adopt an optimistic and purposeful outlook, we can trust ourselves to pursue new ventures without fear bogging us down. Bret Lockett is a leading Business Consultant, High-Performance Coach, Founder of the ‘High Stakes Training’ program, and Former NFL star to the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots. He has been on quite the journey in getting to where he is today and has gained a newfound sense of gratitude and purpose through the work he’s done helping clients achieve their own goals.  


In this episode, Bret shares his process behind the work he carries out at the ‘High Stakes Training’ program, how his business acts as an entry point for individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their own psychology, and why small shifts in our mindset are sometimes all it takes to make monumental and lasting changes.
