Description

Your goals right now? They're just like Schrödinger's cat—alive and dead at the same time… until you decide to take action. In this episode of Quest for Success, Dr. Jerry Cunningham breaks down how a physics thought experiment can transform the way you lead, live, and chase success. You'll learn how uncertainty can actually be your greatest advantage, how belief and persistence "collapse" potential into results, and why leaders, who act before they have all the answers and they win more often.

If you've ever felt stuck waiting for the "perfect moment" to start, this episode will help you open the box, face the risk, and finally take bold action. You'll walk away with practical steps to strengthen your mindset, build confidence, and lead with clarity in every area of life.
