What do writing a book, chasing speaking gigs, and approaching women at bars all have in common? For Brett Eaton — high performance coach and bestselling author of Uncomfortable Either Way — the answer is rejection reps. In this episode, EMMY winner Dr. Tom sits down with Brett who shares how two years of “red-lined” book edits, speaking to empty rooms, and even getting shot down by women for his man-bun built the confidence he has today. We also dive into how a devastating breakup set the stage for meeting his dream wife (yes, it started on a coaching call!), Solidcore founder Anne Mahlum.
