In this debut episode of the Mindset Growth Podcast, Gary Bontrager and co-host Ray Gage dive deep into the themes of failure, trust, and clarity. They explore how failures, often magnified in our own minds, can impact our personal and professional lives. Ray discusses the idea that failure is not fatal and shares insights from his book, Start with Stop. Together, they uncover how miscommunication, emotional reactions, and past traumas shape our relationships and decisions, often creating a cycle of mistrust and unclear intentions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and reframing our internal dialogue to build healthier, more trusting relationships. Tune in for thought-provoking strategies to overcome disconnects, reclaim clarity, and find growth through life’s challenges. Don’t miss this inspiring start to the podcast series!
