Download Achieve By Petra – https://app.theachieveproject.com/PSL0001000 [https://app.theachieveproject.com/PSL0001000] Most people are not being held back by their circumstances. They are being held back by a story — one they didn't even write for themselves. In this episode of the Masterminds Podcast, Richie Mensah sits down with Rudolf Brenya — life coach, speaker, and author of Built for More — for a conversation that goes deep into the architecture of self-identity, limiting beliefs, and what it truly takes to break the generational patterns that are quietly running your life. Rudolf spent three years unemployed in the UK after following every rule he was given, before deciding no one was coming to save him — and building an online TV channel from zero capital that landed him in a national newspaper and on speaking stages. He breaks down why motivation is a terrible engine, why alignment is more powerful than attraction, and why the most important conversation you will ever have is the one you are having with yourself. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why no one is coming to save you — and why that is the best news you will ever hear * How Rudolf built an online TV channel with zero capital and no equipment * Why motivation will always run dry — and what to rely on instead * The difference between self-image and self-identity — and which one actually drives results * How limiting beliefs are passed down through generations without anyone realising * Why seeing is not believing — and how to build faith in what you cannot yet see * The law of alignment and why it is more powerful than the law of attraction * Why your past is a life lesson and never a life sentence Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2531421/support]
