While I was a guest on another podcast, I was asked if I regretted getting my Ph.D. in psychology since I don’t use my doctoral degree in the traditional sense and pursued entrepreneurship instead of teaching or academic research.
In this episode, I share how business ownership and psychology go hand in hand. I implement my Ph.D. almost every day in my work when I think like a researcher or use topics of mindset and behavior change — either with myself or my clients.
I kick off the Not Another Mindset Show podcast by sharing how I went from spending time in the Minnesota Department of Corrections to building a successful fitness coaching and continuing education business (while picking up a PhD in Psychology along the way).
