Most of us set a goal, get excited, fall off, then restart. Again and again. Dallas Amsden lived in that loop too. He found a way out, and it starts with a question most people never ask themselves. What would the future version of me actually do right now?
I got to sit down with my friend, Dallas Amsden. He's the founder of Future You, and he helps entrepreneurs close the gap between who they are and who they're capable of becoming. Before coaching, he was a stand up comic and a professional mime, so he knows how to read a room and hold one.
Key Takeaways
- Fake it till you make it is bad advice. Act like the person you want to become. Don't pretend you already are them.
- Most people run on 10 to 12 emotional triggers. Spot yours, and you can change how you respond when they show up.
- Change isn't a new identity. It's a beta test. Try the new behavior. Check the result. Adjust and try again.
- Confidence comes from alignment, not a performance. Line up your actions with who you really are, and confidence follows.
- Small daily self talk beats one big affirmation. What you say to yourself in passing adds up fast.
Listen If You...
- Keep hitting the same wall and restarting the same goal
- Feel like an imposter every time you try to level up
- Want a real process for closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be

About the Show
#MeetCoolPeople is where founders, creators, and entrepreneurs share real stories about building businesses that matter. Hosted by Ely Delaney, each episode goes past surface-level advice to uncover the mindset shifts, failures, and frameworks that separate people who talk about success from people who actually build it.
#MeetCoolPeople
We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.
The #MeetCoolPeople Movement is to change that.
It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
It’s a reminder to introduce someone you meet to someone you know can help them.
And it's a reminder that we can grow to amazing successes but not alone. It requires the help of others.
So surround yourself with people that make you better and make it your mission to #MeetCoolPeople!
Thank you again for helping spread the word and have an amazing day!
