Your mindset is only as strong as the inputs you allow in. Garbage in, garbage out.

In this episode of Zero Distortion, Russ Bates breaks down why what you consume—news, social media, conversations—directly shapes your mindset and focus.

👉 You’ll learn:

-Why negativity is baked into the news cycle and social media

-How to identify inputs that drain your energy

-What to replace them with to protect and fuel your mindset

-A one-week challenge to audit your inputs and choose better ones

You can’t control everything in the world, but you can control what you let into your head. Those inputs are either fuel for growth or fuel for frustration—the choice is yours.

🔔 Subscribe to Zero Distortion for more real talk on mindset, growth, and navigating today’s world.
