In this week's episode of Scaling Life, I'm sharing my thoughts on killing the "Law of Jante" - societal rules that keep people small - once and for all.



Episode Highlights:



- The 10 limiting rules of the Scandinavian "Law of Jante" and how they made me feel



- Why comparing ourselves to others and trying to fit in does us no good



- The problems with thinking in "us vs them" and trying to be part of the "in crowd"



- Icelanders hadn't even heard of the Law of Jante - they are more adventurous and self-confident



- My belief that every human has way more potential than they are actually living up to



- The importance of letting our own inner light shine without fear of judgment



- Tips for breaking through self-limiting beliefs and assumptions



- Quotes from thought leaders like Marianne Williamson on embracing our uniqueness



"When you let your own light shine, you unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." - Marianne Williamson



This was a personally transformative episode for me. I hope it inspires you to let your freak flag fly and kill any rules holding you back from your potential.
