EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Are you living life on autopilot without even realizing it? What if the very key to growth in business, health, and leadership isn’t doing more, but going back to the beginning? In today’s episode of The Dallas Daily Show, Dallas Amsden is coming at you from the passenger seat while his son Lex puts in his driving hours. But the real lesson isn’t about turn signals and blind spots — it’s about rediscovering intentionality, regaining awareness, and breaking out of the comfort of unconscious competence. This episode is a crash course (no pun intended) in going back to the basics to unlock the transformation your FUTURE YOU needs.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- A real-time driving lesson with Dallas’ 15-year-old son, Lex
- The 4 learning zones (and how they apply to business, parenting, and personal growth)
- Why unconscious competence may be keeping you stuck
- How to return to a beginner’s mind in your leadership and life
- What Michael Jordan teaches us about the dangers of skipping the fundamentals
- Lessons from the road that will shift your mindset into high gear
