The two gripe about culinary mistakes they see others make in the kitchen, they chat about pantry staples, and cooking in general.

I'm writing a book! I'm embarking on a new journey—this time, with words instead of miles.

So, let's discuss how the right mindset and guidance can lead you towards reaching your full potential, and how that realization inspired me to write the book I'm releasing this 2025… Have you ever felt like you're on autopilot, stuck in the trap of having a monotonous routine? You're not alone; that's a struggle a lot of people go through. In fact, statistics show that 80% of people never really reach their full potential in life. But why is that? What's holding you back from breaking free? Well, let me tell you: it's the lack of the right guidance—and more crucially, the right mindset—to do so. And as an internist with a passion for helping others, such realization has driven me to finally write the book I've always wanted to write. In this episode, we'll talk about just that, along with the motivations behind the book I call a labor of love. From the challenges of feeling stuck, the importance of taking action, and how having the right mindset can lead to meaningful change—this episode covers my writing journey and what I hope you'll do after reading a self-help book like mine. In an effort to help people like you transform your life, I'm putting it out there, and you'll be able to read it by the end of the first quarter of 2025. But while you wait for its release, join us in this episode first and discover why it's essential to be an action-taker—not just a consumer of self-help materials like mine.   Why you need to check this episode: Get a behind-the-scenes look at Dr. Pierre's motivations for writing the book and the structure of its content; Learn about the actionable steps and reflection exercises included in the book that's designed to prompt readers to take initiative in their lives; and Understand how the right mindset and guidance can lead you towards reaching your full potential in life. “I don't want you to just be consumers. I want you to be action-takers of the material or information that's going to be provided for you.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Notable Quotes: “That's one thing about me that you guys know—I'm all about the action. We have enough books, enough seminars, [and] enough courses. We have plenty of information out there, but we don't have a lot of people taking action out there…There's plenty of people giving information, but not plenty of people demanding action. So, anytime you consume any bit of my content…I want you to know that I want you to take this information that I'm giving you and apply it to your life almost immediately…so you can start seeing the results. Because once you start seeing the results, guess what? It becomes this positive feedback loop that you want to more action again.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “You have so many different options and so many different scenarios and routes to get from point A to point B, but it's because you have so many different options, routes, and scenarios that you just end up not moving. So [through the book], we're going to make sure even those people who feel just confused and stuck—they have a route to go, and they have examples in the palm of their hands of people who have done it, or people who didn't do it and the consequences of it.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.
