Episode 34: Shrink Your Inner Dragon and Scale Up your Own GOAT with Bestselling Author, Rebecca Mountain
10/25/23 • 44 min
What if your inner dragon was the key to your greatness?
Each one of us harbors a mighty, mythical dragon within—the embodiment of our deepest fears, guilt, anger, shame, and anxiety. It's the part of us that society often tells us to defeat, eliminate, or conquer. But what if I told you there's a different, more empowering path?
Your inner dragon isn't your adversary—it's your hidden source of strength and untapped potential. Rather than slaying the dragon, you can shrink it to tap into its immense power and use it to fuel your own growth.
And the ultimate prize for mastering this inner beast is the chance to scale up your very own GOAT—the "Greatest of All Time.” Imagine becoming the best version of yourself, embracing your unique strengths, and achieving your fullest potential. It's not just a possibility; it's a reality within your grasp.
In this episode, Rebecca Mountain, a bestselling author, international keynote speaker, and coach, will teach us how to take charge of our dragons, how to transform them from obstacles into allies, and how to use their energy to soar to new heights. Rebecca's insights are not just enlightening; they're downright empowering.

Dale Gillham’s journey was never an easy one. He grew up in a poor family. But at an early age, he realized—just like what his mother has always instilled in him—that ‘poor’ is just a mindset. And it lies in his choice to change his mindset and cultivate a wealthy life for himself, his family, and the people whose lives he’s touched, now as a wealth analyst. And so from a small town in Australia, he began his journey by moving to a bigger city, until slowly, he made a name for himself and conquered the world in his own way.
