Shownotes Transcript

Stop whatever you're doing right now and listen to a massive mindset hack from the man who helped Kobe Bryant develop his Black Mamba persona! Today Rudy is chatting alter-egos with "Mr. Alter Ego" himself, Todd Herman.  Todd Herman is an award-winning performance expert and author of 'The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life". Todd has helped Rudy as part of his inspiration behind his Red Life branding and also happens to be one of his oldest American entrepreneur buddies from when he first moved to the US from England.

So, why do you need an alter ego? Well, for Kobe Bryant it was a tool that could help him separate his on-life persona (where everybody feared him) from his off-field life. 

An alter ego is like a superhero outfit or Ironman suit that everyday entrepreneurs can put on and then, after a while, the suit starts blending into your skin.

Learn all about the advantages of developing your own alter ego as you set your goals and work towards meeting a future version of yourself that is good at all the things that you perhaps now struggle with. 

Todd's expertise and psychological insights into the power of being curious about the work you do, the congruency between your work life and the person who goes home to a more private life, and the success that adopting a radical mindset shift is an absolute game-changer. 

If it worked for Kobe on the basketball court (may he Rest In Peace), then it can surely work for you on the frontlines of business too. Red life living just went into overtime, baby. Beat the buzzer and download this episode now!
