In this episode, Roger welcomes Terry L. Fossum, a bestselling author, survival reality show winner, and accomplished businessman who shares his powerful three-step framework for setting and achieving goals. Terry's method, which is outlined in his book The Oxcart Technique, emphasizes both the carrot and the stick—using failure scenarios to fuel action. He discusses his background, from humble beginnings and military service to his reality show victory and success in direct sales. Terry also touches on addiction recovery and continually inspires others to conquer their struggles using his unique approach to goal setting.
