DR GEOFFREY MOUNT VARNER Train Your Mind for Split Second Decisions

Author: Tara Garrison October 10, 2025 Duration: 34:23

Dr. Geoffrey Mount Varner is a Harvard-educated physician with over 25 years of experience in emergency medicine and top-level executive roles, including serving as chief of a level one trauma center and a Washington DC city executive.

Childhood stuttering forced him to think succinctly, shaping his ability to make quick decisions. He teaches that making decisions is more important than waiting for the "perfect answer". 

In this episode, Dr. Geoffrey Mount Varner explains the importance of quick decisions over the 'freeze', the concept of time and stress, and how trusting that all experiences, including hardships, are part of a larger journey for personal growth and benefit, is paramount for success.
