The 7-minute convo that changed my life (thanks to Sharran Srivatsaa)

Stuck on a big decision? This quick read reveals the simple yet powerful “Facts and Feelings” framework Cody learned from Sharran Srivatsaa—a gut-check tool that cuts through analysis paralysis and brings instant clarity. If you’ve been spinning your wheels, this 7-minute mindset shift might be exactly what you need.

Let me tell you about a moment that punched me in the gut.

I was stuck.

Going back and forth on a big business decision.

You know the kind—where every option feels like a coin flip and every delay feels like quicksand.

So I called Sharran Srivatsaa.

Now, Sharran’s one of the sharpest operators I know.

But this wasn’t a lecture.

It wasn’t some big long-winded monologue.

He gave me one simple framework that flipped everything upside down.

It’s called “Facts and Feelings.”



Here’s how it works:


1. At the top of a blank sheet, write the decision you’re trying to make.

2. Draw a line down the middle.

3. On the left, write all the facts you know about the decision.

4. On the right, list all the feelings you have about it.

5. Then—set a deadline to decide. No more analysis paralysis. No dragging itout for weeks.



Simple? Yes.
Obvious? Maybe.
But effective? Like a damn scalpel.



I used it that day.

It gave me clarity I hadn’t felt in weeks.

And today, I shared it with a private client during a coaching session.

His response?

“Dude. Why has no one ever taught me this before?”

So now I’m sharing it with you.

If you’ve ever wrestled with a decision—do yourself a favor.

Use the “Facts and Feelings” framework.



It’s changed the way I operate.
Helped me move faster.
Made me more confident.



And it started with a 7-minute conversation that changed everything.

Stay sharp
