The Success Nuggets #57 - Everything Always Works Out by Simon Woodroffe
Manage episode 518046800 series 3580780
Simon Woodroffe (YO! Sushi, YO! everything) joins to talk about starting again at 47, treating fear as fiction, roaming instead of queuing, robots as theatre, and why execution beats visualisation.
But behind the creativity was something deeper: fear, patience, failure, and the quiet belief that “if you wait long enough, things always work out.”
In this episode, Simon shares how low self-worth can drive ambition, how to build courage when you’ve got everything on the line, and why comfort zones are there to be stretched, the 100-day rule → money, meaning, and learning at 74.
🎙 A conversation about curiosity, grit, and the freedom to keep reinventing yourself — no matter your age.
Nugget of the day " If you wait long enough, things always work out. "
