S4 E73 • Feb 14, 2024 • 50 mins

Yes, we have a lot of laughs here on Truth Tastes Funny. We have to. And my interview with Vincent Infante is no different. And as always, there's a deeper story and purpose to the undertaking. As a former FDNY firefighter, Vin has seen firsthand the importance of having a resilient mindset. After 13 years of helping people cultivate lasting change, he has developed a unique hybrid service that combines aspects of therapy, mentoring and coaching. This service is designed to help people achieve rapid results and total transformation. Vin currently helps high performers and leadership teams break through their mindset barriers so they can live a life of strength, alignment, purpose and fulfillment

Key Points

Survival state inhibits parts of the brain responsible for good judgment and rational thinking, making it crucial to move out of survival state to effect real change in one's life.
Radical self-acceptance and ownership of one's identity are critical steps in personal transformation, allowing for a shift from who you've been to who you choose to become.
Focusing on resourcefulness rather than perceived scarcity enables individuals to access creative solutions and alternative outcomes, moving from a state of survival to one of proactive living.
