Greatness

I had nowhere to go but my sisters couch. I was I didnt know who I was without sports. Would anyone still like me? How would I make money? What will I do for the rest of my life???

Since Dad could no longer help me, I start seeking new mentors; I begin reaching out to highly accomplished people via LinkedIn, and asking them to tell me the story of their success. These interviews give me new direction, new inspiration and new hope. And they make me realize Im afraid of so many things. So the first thing I do is make a list of everything Im afraid of and commit myself to overcoming my fears. If it scared me, I go all in on it: Salsa dancing, public speaking, writing a book, Olympic handball and even launching my own business. Not only do I overcome my fears and get back in the game of life, but I find my passion again! First, doing those interviews that got me off my sisters couch made me feel as energized as sports used to. Second, I wanted to share the inspiration they gave me with others. Going all in on a podcast was a risk, but what started as one interview recorded on my iPhone and one listener, is now close to 1,000 episodes and over 100 million downloads. Doing the podcast is how I discovered what I was born for; when something I do helps someone else overcome their challenges and find their greatness, thats my new touchdown! Thats what drives me. My dad did that for me. Now Im using my life to do that for others.Read More
