Emergency Press Conference: Man vs. Ego

Ballistic Performance Radio

On this episode of BPR, Derrick sits down to outline how your ego is holding you back. The conversation was inspired by a recent discussion with Nick Pags, the founder of Project Limitless and an all-around bad-ass, world-class mindset coach. In that call, Nick introduced us to the Four Survival Strategies of ego:

1. The need to be right
2. The need to look good
3. The need to be safe/comfortable
4. The need to be in control

Now, we assume that as you read through those strategies, at least one (if not all) resonated with you. As Nick introduced that concept, Derrick openly admitted that he identified with all four, and that's okay. However, the questions becomes, how do you check your ego? How do you prevent your ego from hijacking your life?
