Two people stand at the same closed door. Same job, same city, same setback. Ten years later, they are living completely different lives. What separated them was not talent or luck. It was the story each one told about what that closed door meant.

Last week, we said leadership starts in private. In Episode 2, Dr. Jide Johnson goes one layer deeper and asks what actually runs in that private place. The answer is your mindset: the settled beliefs and mental frames through which you read everything that happens to you.
