What I Did to Keep My Doors Open

Breaking the Cycle of Disappointment & Despair

This episode of The Average Sucks Show with Shaun Alexander dispels the idea that changing your life is a long, exhausting uphill battle. Because once you make a decision that it’s time to go from who you are now to who you were meant to be… Raising your average can happen in an instant.

Some people take advantage of that, some use it for the greater good. In this podcast I discuss the psychology of persuasion and influence so you can understand how the...
