Mindset, Failure, and the Power of Doing Hard Things with Eddie Pinero
Manage episode 497219464 series 3548702
What if the things you're most afraid to do are the most important things to do?
Eddie Pinero left his corporate job to follow an uncertain creative path, transforming from someone who needed every detail planned to an entrepreneur with over 200 million views worldwide. His journey reveals how our external world starts internally and gets projected out—the same situation can produce wildly different outcomes depending on your mindset.
Eddie's philosophy centers on "Your World Within"—the idea that our thoughts become our reality. Through powerful stories and practical wisdom, he shows how seeking value in every experience, even the darkest ones, becomes the key to transformation. His approach to failure isn't just accepting it—it's deliberately putting yourself in positions where failure is inevitable because that's where growth lives.
From guilt about running at noon to building a media empire, Eddie demonstrates how unlearning societal expectations and trusting the unknown creates space for extraordinary results. His upcoming focus on endurance athletics proves that doing hard things builds both toughness and gratitude for the baseline we usually take for granted.
Join us as we explore letting yourself fail; why following intuition beats following plans; how identity shapes everything you do; and why the hospital bed test reveals what truly matters.
