Marc Champagne: How to Summon Your Personal Socrates

Why is it important to ask questions, of ourselves and of others? Well, if you’re been here at this podcast for a minute, you know that curiosity is the #1 trait of empathetic people. My guest today, mental fitness practitioner, Marc Champagne shares how we are all one question away from changing our lives. Today, we talk about Marc’s obsessions with questions to get clarity, embrace intentionality, and explore possibility. We also talk about the Socratic Method and why you should care about the questions you ask – or don’t ask – in life and business. He shares some ideas for how to clear out your own mental fog and be more present. Take a listen to learn the art of asking questions to get more intentional and clear from our conversation today. 

Key Takeaways:

  • We can all be our own personal Socrates. We all have our little coach sitting on our shoulder at any moment’s notice, no matter what’s happening in life, and even more excitingly, where we’re at in life. 
  • To really properly hold space for another human you have to first hold space for yourself.
  • Set ground rules that allow for you to open up a little bit more, be a little bit more vulnerable, and not feel so terrifying in the process.

“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is that we’re all one question away from a completely different life.” —  Marc Champagne
