Former prison guard turned strength coach Jay Kali shares his thoughts on how adopting an empowered mindset and the relationship between hard work and luck. During the Mental Fuel® segment, I’ll explain why it’s important to take stock of how you’ve changed over time. This week's challenge is to think about the upcoming year (or 2 or 3) as a distinct chapter in you career. If you were to name this chapter, what would it be called? What do you want it to be about?
