058: The Secret To Becoming Your Best Self!
Manage episode 485673209 series 3569873
Have you ever wondered what it really takes to transform your life?
This raw and powerful conversation explores how profound loss can become the catalyst for extraordinary change.
After losing his mother to cancer when she was just 32, our guest developed a unique perspective on time and opportunity.
"My life was spared," he reflects, contrasting his survival through nights of reckless behavior with his mother’s lack of a second chance. That realization sparked an urgency that continues to fuel his success:
"It's go time. There's no sitting back."
The conversation dives deep into the critical role of mentorship and environment in personal growth. Citing Harvard research that shows 95% of success is influenced by who you spend time with, he shares his journey from "succeeding at getting high" to building relationships with world-class business leaders. That network shift fundamentally altered his trajectory, helping him overcome the failures of his early restaurant ventures.
With remarkable honesty, he breaks down why those businesses failed—despite good products and passionate staff:
"I wasn't yet the person I needed to be."
Instead of treating symptoms, he tackled the root cause: himself. His philosophy is clear—growth is like a tree: always reaching upward, unless something holds it back.
Now co-authoring his second book on creative sales approaches, his story is a powerful example of continuous reinvention. For anyone feeling stuck or searching for motivation to make real change, this episode delivers both inspiration and actionable insight
