Master The Mindset That Changes Everything! In this episode of the Move the Chains podcast, Ryan Munsey introduces the philosophy of 'moving the chains' as a method for achieving personal and professional goals. He emphasizes the importance of breaking down large goals into smaller, manageable steps and maintaining consistent daily progress. The conversation covers practical applications of this philosophy, including time and energy management strategies, and how to create a sustainable pace for long-term success.   Takeaways: Everyone needs a big goal, but attack it one step at a time. Move the chains is about breaking down big goals into small, manageable items. Focus on consistent, daily progress rather than highlight reel plays.
