What if one small change in the way you think could unlock better decisions, stronger relationships, and more opportunities? In this episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee Kemp shares key lessons from behavioural scientist and speaker Jez Rose after attending one of his talks on mindset, habits, and personal growth. Together, Lee and Jose explore the dangers of living on autopilot, the power of mindfulness, the importance of keeping life and work simple through the RESET framework, and why asking better questions leads to better outcomes. Their biggest takeaway is a simple but transformative shift in language: replacing "No, because..." with "Yes, if..." to encourage solution-focused thinking and create possibilities instead of barriers.

What starts as a conversation about the 2004 song "Is It Because I'm Cool?" quickly becomes a thoughtful exploration of identity, growth, and authenticity.

Together, Lee and Jose discuss how music, books, TV shows, and life experiences all take on new meaning as we grow, touching on leadership, emotional intelligence, friendships, coaching, and the value of reflecting on how far we've come.
