Ari Bliss speaks with Cindra Kamphoff, Ph.D., founder of the Mentally Strong Institute and author of Beyond Grit and The Confidence Habit, about what it really takes to build confidence over time. They cover high performance, self-talk, resilience, and the support systems that help athletes, leaders, and young people stay mentally strong.
