Ep 12 - Michael Strahan: Permission to Follow A New Calling

From the man in front of the camera to the businessman behind the scenes, Michael Strahan sits down with Paula to talk about building a positive mindset, giving yourself permission to follow a new calling, and not changing the unique things that may one day help you stand out in a crowd. He opens up about still feeling like an imposter at times and why the fear he faces with every new business venture, pales in comparison to the fear he faces being a father. The Good Morning America co-host explains how different jobs have helped shape him as a leader and foster his mentality that what you do, is not what defines you. He also shares the advice that helped him conquer his fears of being pigeon-holed into one role after retiring from the National Football League and why being a professional athlete is still the hardest job he has ever had. “One thing people do too much is take themselves seriously.” “Your life is about others, it’s not necessarily about yourself.”
