Dec 7, 2022

In this episode of the Originators Podcast, host Zak Leedom sits down with Britt Lefkoe, a leading business and personal development coach.

Together, Britt and Zach explore how powerful our minds and beliefs are and how with proper guidance, we can remove the roadblocks holding us back from being our best selves. Britt shares that life is both extremely short and long enough at the same time and that we must take action to maximize our time on earth.

“There's no such thing as a logical decision-maker. It doesn't exist. A logical

person is a person who rationalizes their emotional decisions well. So logic comes when we can explain our emotions. There is no such thing as a logical decision. It's a different part of the brain.” - Britt Lefkoe

Our Favorite Quotes:

 

  • “With the archetype of an entrepreneur, there is, on average, a large sense of needing to control our outcomes. And that in a lot of ways can be such a blessing, but that sense of control can at times lead to you as the leader being the roadblock, in your business and in your life.” - Zak Leedom
  • “I just really encourage everyone to think of your mind as an engine. Do you want a rusty engine? Or do you want to spend the time lubricating and fine-tuning your engine?” - Britt Lefkoe
  • “We see ourselves in money. The way that you look at yourself, I think is in a lot of ways the way that you look at money. And so I think that having a good relationship with money is incredibly important.” - Britt Lefkoe
