About this episode

Jim Cathcart shares insights on identity and the daily habits that can lead to expertise.

Jim Cathcart shares a powerful lesson on identity, potential, and the one daily habit that turned a 200-pound government clerk into an internationally recognized speaker. In this thoughtful talk, he explains why thinking like the person you’re becoming is the real shortcut, what an acorn reveals about the legacy you’re carrying, and the radio broadcast in 1972 that rewrote his entire life in a single sentence. This episode will challenge you to act like the person you intend to become — starting today.
