Society requires a certain degree of compliance from people to avoid a collapse into anarchy and chaos. However, it’s critical to go rogue every now and then and do the unexpected, especially when it means achieving a higher purpose. How do you become a constructive rogue? What are some of the ways you can reframe a situation to achieve your goals?
In this episode, I recount a moment in my life when I swam against the tides and went rogue. You’ll hear about mission STS-93, the names of critical political guests, and when the First Lady was nowhere to be seen. I describe what the event was like, the number of people invited to witness the launch, and why it had to be rescheduled to three days later. I explain why I had to provide my identity and credentials to a secret service agent. You’ll also receive tips on how you can use reframing triggers to your advantage, especially if you’re a woman.
