Have you ever felt like you've had access to a cheat code? That moment when you just get something about business, relationships, money, or life that feels like an unfair advantage?

I recently found inspiration in the most unexpected place – an EDM song my 8-year-old son Calvin has been playing on repeat. The lyric "Let's go free flow, act like I got cheat codes" struck me as the perfect metaphor for those game-changing insights that help us level up in business and life. These personal cheat codes are the insights and perspectives that give us an edge – the equivalent of skipping levels, gaining invincibility, or unlocking hidden content in a video game.

Join me this week as I share three of my personal cheat codes that have transformed my business journey. From embracing failure collection as a path to invincibility, to using identity-shifting language to skip levels, to unlocking hidden content through cross-pollination of ideas – these are the strategies that have helped me level up.
