What if everything you believe about yourself… isn’t actually you? That’s the bold premise Dr. Srikumar Rao opens with in Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots, our July Mastermind Book Club pick. This book is different. It’s not just another mindset or productivity manual. Rao challenges us to zoom out from the daily noise in our heads, the self-talk, the labels, the roles we play and see through to something deeper. If you’ve ever felt a quiet sense of “something’s off” If you’ve hit success milestones but still feel restless or reactive… If you’re craving clarity on who you really are beyond your LinkedIn headline… Then this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. We’ll be diving into the book on Thursday, July 24th at 11:30 AM Pacific / 2:30 PM Eastern. And here’s the kicker. Dr. Srikumar Rao himself will be joining us live. This is your chance to ask questions, share insights, and be part of a truly eye-opening dialogue. >>> Register here <<< Hope to see you there. Ted P.S. No need to have finished the book. Just bring your curiosity because Tom Ruwitch and I read it for you. |

I spent this weekend watching The Bear season four, and it reminded me of something my grandfather would never have imagined when he arrived from Greece in the 1920s. Picture this: A young Greek immigrant with nothing but determination, deciding to open a restaurant in America. Did he know anything about running one? Not a clue. But what else would a Greek do? What made our family restaurant different wasn't just the food. It was the philosophy. Every morning we baked fresh bread, made pies...
I’ve done a lot of personal and professional growth work over the years. I was a massive consumer of personal development programs from Nightingale Conant. At one point, my wife Ellen asked me "Aren't you fixed yet?" Nothing from Nightingale Conant has rewired me like Zenith Mind OS. Before this, I was still running on patterns that held me back: overpreparing, overthinking, playing small. Now? I’m aware when those habits show up and I have the tools to move through them. I’m more aligned....
As I continue through Rich Schefren’s Zenith Mind OS, I realize this hasn’t just been a course. It’s been a complete rewiring of how I think, work, and live. This journey didn’t end when the modules did. The biggest breakthroughs came after the course.
