“Your thoughts do not define who you are,” our guest, Matt Tenney of The Mindfulness Edge, advises us. What does that mean?
Matt appealed to us as a guest because his agent communicated he had leadership lessons from a prison and a monastery. That sounded intriguing. Matt does have a four-step leadership system that can help many leaders.
But it’s what he learned in prison that I found most useful.
Matt also explained how he starts every workday with 20-25 minutes of mindfulness, exercise, time with his family, and then blocks off his calendar until 11:00am. Only urgent needs from clients get his morning time. Makes you wonder… What’s Matt doing until 11am each workday? Coffee and hot tubs?
No.
Matt sets aside every workday morning for “asset building.” WOW! Love it.
What would happen if you did not look at email or answer texts/IM, etc. until 11am, and you invested that time into asset building?

Are you wondering what Matt shared about his time in prison? You should. It’s powerful. I can say so myself because I’m applying his Mindfulness Edge in my life. (David)
