In this episode of the Untrapped Podcast, host Keith Kalfas shares a breakthrough insight on the power of identity in shaping our success, particularly in the realms of small business and personal development. After returning from a speaking engagement in Atlanta and despite being unwell, Keith felt compelled to make this episode to share his realization that one's identity fundamentally controls their reaction to and utilization of information. He contrasts how people with scarcity mindsets and those with abundant, successful mindsets respond differently to the same business ideas, attributing the variance to identity. Keith delves into the psychology behind these mindsets, discussing the influence of self-limiting beliefs, the importance of conviction and alignment with higher principles, and the transformative power of letting go of what no longer serves us. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of faith, continual personal growth, and seeking higher questions to fundamentally change how one perceives and interacts with the world, thereby achieving true success and fulfillment.
 
"The person who is stuck in the victim scarcity mindset might intellectually be very intelligent and awake and understand they're conscious. They're here. And now they'll understand all the information coming in and they'll get excited."
 - Keith Kalfas
