We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Daniel Ginsberg a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Daniel, thanks for taking the time to share your lessons with our community today. So, let’s jump right in – one of the most essential skills for unlocking our potential is self-discipline. Where does your self-discipline come from?
Thank you Nadia, during my basketball career, discipline became my best skill. The relentless hours of practice, the dedication to perfecting my skills, and the commitment to conditioning shaped not just my game but my character. The court became my training ground for self-discipline—a skill that extended beyond the buzzer, influencing every aspect of my life. From setting and achieving goals to maintaining a strong work ethic, reaching the goal professional basketball instilled in me a discipline that now fuels my success both on and off the court.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
