"Where focus goes, energy flows. Every form of communication is either from love or from fear — there is no other option."

About this conversation

Mandi Dana did not set out to become one of the most trusted transformational advisors for high-performing CEOs. She set out to figure out how to rebuild her own life after a brutal six-month season that tested everything she had.

From navigating a 36-hour detour through muddy Himalayan cliffside roads to advising the CEOs of nine-figure companies, Mandi breaks down exactly what it takes to upgrade your identity and become the leader your organization actually needs.
