When identity feels limiting…
What would happen if you went into your next meeting, sales call, or social situation determined to emulate Eastwood: no past, no list of credits, no reputation, not even a name. You cannot reveal or use anything from your past—not what you do, where you went to college, who you know. Your only revelations involve the present or future. Would that work for you or against you? Would the situation be good, bad, or ugly? Your objective is to free yourself to be whatever and whoever you need to be right now.
