Clarity In Your Purpose
Having the right mentality is key to success. Sometimes however the situations you are in don't help you have the right or positive mentality nor are the resources available to correct that mentality. Navy veteran Moussa Mikhail had to overcome many struggles in his early life to find himself stationed on a submarine. Surrounded by the same people, nowhere to go, and no mental health professionals on board Moussa had to find ways to keep himself in the right mental state. Those lessons learned led him to create his podcast "The Conqueror Approach" discussing mental health and positive mentality!
