When you're in the middle of the storm, it's almost impossible to see things clearly. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O'Gorman breaks down why self-awareness is one of the hardest—and most important—skills for high performers, leaders, and anyone striving for personal excellence.

Key Takeaways:

• Why you can't see your own patterns objectively

• How blind spots sabotage decision-making, relationships, and leadership

• The power of external feedback and honest conversations

• Why elite performers always invest in mentors, coaches, and trusted advisors

• How to step out of your emotions and make clearer, stronger decisions

If you want to lead better, perform better, and live better, you must be willing to see what you've been avoiding. Listen now and learn how to build the clarity and self-awareness that drives real transformation.
