256: How to Deal with Reality Better

A good way to know how soft and mentally weak someone…..just watch how they deal with the truth. If you want to be elite and consistently dominate them, you must get comfortable with reality and learn to use it and profit from it instead of run from it and defend yourself from it. I break it down tactically in this episode.
