Game Set Match, Part 3

Feeling lonely? When you are alone, how do you handle a set back? Are you alone going after a dream, building a business, a dream, a family, a project? How do you play if none is cheering for you? How can we be steady and keep the spirit of courage? No matter the score, believe in your unique skills and find the advantages in whatever experience you have...or don't have! Find advantages in inexperience.

In this unplanned bonus episode we talk about recent surprise Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem, how he came back to win the US Open in one of the most unlikely comebacks ever. And we connect how that's just like President Teddy Roosevelt, with a little Rumi sprinkled around. Won't you join me?
