Hey,

This morning, I stumbled upon something incredible that reaffirmed a belief I’ve held for a long time…

We’re only shackled by the chains of what we think is possible.

Let me paint a picture for you . . .

It’s 1954. Roger Bannister is about to give the middle finger to science.

Doctors back then were chanting the same old song: “Run a mile under 4 minutes, and you’re toast — your heart will explode!”

Seriously! It was the firmly accepted belief of the medical community that the human body could not endure such a feat, that the heart would literally explode.

Pretty grim, right?

But Roger? He was wearing two hats — those of a medical student who doubted that narrative... and an athlete with legs built to prove a point.

Boom!
He smashes the record with a jaw-dropping 3:59.4 mile. And as if fate wanted in on the action, another bloke, John Landy, shrugged off the naysayers and beat Bannister’s time shortly after.

See, that’s the thing — once you bust through a belief barrier, it’s like open season for everyone else.

And guess what?

Old mate Bannister wasn’t done. He slapped a new world record on the board not two months later.

So what’s the “Roger Bannister Effect” got to do with you?

Stay tuned for my next email where I break down “6 Actor’s Steps to Smashing Your Own Records.”

Until then, lace up those trainers and go sprint in the sunshine.

Catch you on the flip side,

P.S. Remember, it’s not just about breaking records, it’s about shattering the mental ones too. Let’s do this.
