Professional Mindset - YOU ARE THE HERO - Chapters 90-93 - Turning Pro Book Club at go.fsbb.io

Peter Saddington's book club segment explores the concept of the "professional mindset" through the lens of Steven Pressfield's *Turning Pro*. The video reflects on the idea of the individual as the "hero" of their own journey, drawing parallels between professional pursuits and the role of a tribal shaman. Saddington uses a personal anecdote about a visit to a Maasai village to illustrate the acceptance of unseen forces and the reliance on a leader's intuition. He connects this to the artist's struggle with internal resistance, which he likens to "evil forces", and the need to access sources of inspiration and courage. Saddington then shares a conversation with Rabbi Mordekin Finley regarding the Kabbalistic concept of the "Yetzer Hara" or "inner shadow self," as a representation of internal resistance and self-sabotage.
