I learned this simple mirror exercise from Jack Canfield over a decade ago, and it became one of the most powerful practices I’ve used for building self-esteem, self-trust, and quieting the inner critic. In this episode, I walk you through the practice, why I recently started doing it again, and how to try it yourself in just a few minutes a day.

In this episode, Brendan sits down with Yogi Sharma, a former Facebook research scientist and Uber engineer who walked away from a million dollar tech career to become a career coach.

They dive deep into the psychology of the Golden Handcuffs, the reality of leaving elite corporate roles, and why the biggest risk isn’t quitting but staying in a life that doesn’t align with your mission. Yogi shares how he scaled his coaching business 5x by shifting from giving advice to driving transformation and explains his daily practice for maintaining an abundance mindset.

Key highlights include:

• The Accidental Coach: How a single conversation led to an 80% raise and a new career path.

• Redefining Risk: Why high performers are safer taking the leap than they realize.

• Business vs. Coaching: The transition from being a great technician to running a value centric business.

• The ROI of Gratitude: How intentional appreciation transforms leadership and personal relationships.

Whether you’re an ambitious professional feeling blocked by success or an entrepreneur looking to lead with more transparency, this conversation offers a masterclass in career pivots and human connection.
