Most entrepreneurs mistake discomfort for danger. That single mistake keeps them from having difficult conversations, making bold decisions, and building the business they actually want.
Entrepreneur Niels Zee shares how one breath hold exercise exposed the same survival instincts driving his business decisions, and how learning to stay calm under water changed the way he leads, negotiates, and handles conflict in his business.

Topics covered:
- The framework for difficult conversations that keeps everyone calm and cool headed

- How to become 4.3x more capable in 2 days
