Game of Thrones Season 8 has just wrapped up filming and now, Maisie Williams is ready to chat with Rob in this episode of The Disruptors Podcast!

Aside from being a professional actress and a dancer, Maisie is also an entrepreneur. Like her Arya Stark character, Maisie is bold and eager to show her passion project to everyone. Maisie and Rob talk about her startup Daisie, the newest social app for creatives. Discover what inspired her to start this app, how she finds the investors, and how she is growing her team.

Rob and Maisie talk a lot of stuff over coffee – from the dry spells in the acting world to the meaning of success to her first acting gig as Arya Stark!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Success is measured through happiness. That’s what Maisie believes. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting a lot of money or getting a lot of projects when you’re unhappy.
• There’s fulfilment when you do what you love. Maisie is an actress and dancer. She loves performing for people and making them happy. She believes this is where her strengths lie.
• Maisie just started Daisie, the newest social app which especially caters to the entertainment industry. It serves as a platform for the newcomers to meet and collaborate with the creative community. Maisie says, ‘’It’s a LinkedIn for the creative people.” If you want to build your team of creatives, you can meet and hire from the app.
• Download Daisie app and start collaborating. Maisie is thinking of adding a Github-like platform for creatives where you post your works so that others could edit it or merge it with other works.
• If you can’t find VCs or funders, you can self-fund. Maisie and her business partner chose to fund the first leg of the Daisie app but on its upgrade, they are looking into finding the right people to fund them. They want to find people that can help their business grow and connect them with other people.

BEST MOMENTS

• "Doing less acting roles wouldn't be less successful because that makes me happier." – Maisie
• “To be able to have a group of people that are all really excited about the same thing and want success for the company that you started, that’s all you could really ask for.” – Maisie
• “I don’t think that there is a formula to do it right – to handle your career.” – Maisie

You have the power to change your story.

Have you ever felt like your life story was not your own?

There's always the pressure to become someone who you aren't. Maybe you're comparing yourself to the people you see on social media. This is so easy to do. We often just post the best of ourselves on the internet, and then the illusion is that everyone is living these perfect lives.

But we know that isn't true. You can't compare your real life to a filtered version of someone else's.

Sometimes the pressure comes from within, and other times, it comes directly from the mouths of other people. It's easy to let the outside world dictate who you are supposed to be. People love to tell people what to do and who to become.

But you have your own voice in this world. People can try to shout over it, but it's up to you to make a stand for who you are.

On this episode of The School of Greatness, I had the pleasure of talking with JoJo, a pop-icon, who shares about battling comparison, asserting her voice, and writing her own story in the midst of extreme pressure.

JoJo is a pop and R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She released her first album, JoJo, in June 2004, and the album's first single, "Leave (Get Out)," was No.1 on the US Billboard Pop Chart. She was only 13 years old - the youngest solo artist in history to ever top the billboard charts. She’s also starred in movies like Aquamarine and RV (with Robin Williams) and in TV shows like Hawaii 5-0 and Lethal Weapon.

In 2006, she released her second studio album, The High Road, which was also a great success, but her third album, Mad Love, was delayed due to record label disputes. She realized she didn't have power over her own voice, and this was non-negotiable.

In 2008, JoJo founded her own record label, Clover Music, and re-released her previous albums. Her fourth studio album, good to know, will drop in spring 2020, and in April she will kick off an international tour.

JoJo was offered her first record deal at six years old. From a young age, she has felt immense pressure from music industry to become who they want her to be, but JoJo made a stand for herself.

Join me on Episode 919 with JoJo to learn how she owned her story and how you can too.

I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY I'M EXCITED ABOUT EACH EPISODE OF THE SCHOOL OF GREATNESS.

But I’m REALLY excited about this episode.

And not just because the guest is another Ohio boy! (But I wore one of my best Ohio shirts and hats when he came by the studio.)

You probably already know him from his multiple hit shows on MTV. Or from his long list of world records in skateboarding. Or for his incredible branding with labels like DC shoes.

Even if you’ve somehow never heard of Rob Dyrdek, you’re in for a huge treat.

Rob is cool for many reasons. But I literally couldn’t stop asking him questions during this interview because he is so SMART when it comes to business, entrepreneurship, focus, habits, and vision. Just a few of my favorite things 🙂

Rob and I dove deep into all these topics, as well as the real motivation behind all of them – to create happiness now. We recorded this episode a few years ago, but I wanted to bring it back because what Rob teaches is still so relevant and powerful for entrepreneurs today.

I know you’ll get just as much out of it as I did in Episode 901 with the legendary Rob Dyrdek.

HOW DO YOU TALK TO YOURSELF?
The relationship you have with yourself is the most important.
If you’re constantly putting yourself down and judging yourself, eventually you’re going to self-destruct.
It’s common to self-sabotage when things are going well. It can happen to anyone- it doesn’t matter how successful you are.
We feel anxious. We feel like a fraud. We might even feel like we don’t deserve it.
But once you get to the root of those feelings, you can heal the judgments you have of yourself.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with one of the biggest television stars on the planet about anxiety: Maisie Williams.
Maisie Williams is an actress known for playing Arya Stark in Game of Thrones. She won the EWwy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, the Portal Award for Best Supporting Actress – Television and Best Young Actor, and the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor. In 2016, she was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Maisie was at the height of her fame and success but still felt worthless. She realized that there wasn’t anything outside of herself that could make her happy.

IT' ALL ABOUT THE HUSTLE.
What gatekeepers are holding you back from doing what you love?
I’m inspired by the creators on YouTube.
They are people who have forged their own path.
They didn’t wait for someone to allow them to make videos- they just went out and did it.
They’ve dealt with negative comments. They’ve had failed videos. They’ve faced countless setbacks. And they still continued to create.
You have to give yourself permission to find and express your true self.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I created a mashup of all my favorite interviews with the women of YouTube: Lilly Singh, iJustine, Bethany Mota, and Lindsey Sterling.
Lilly Singh (aka iiSuperwomanii) is a multi-faceted comedian, entertainer, actress and the founder of #GirlLove.

In March 2017, she released her debut book HOW TO BE A BAWSE: A Guide to Surviving Conquering Life, which became a #1 New York Times Best Seller. As a role model to women and girls around the globe, Singh created her #GirlLove initiative to break the cycle of girl-on-girl hate and encourage women to build each other up.
Justine Ezarik, the YouTube personality better known as iJustine, took the internet by storm. She's been around for more than a decade, first popping up on YouTube in 2006 where she has accumulated millions of subscribers and fans. The vlogger still remains beloved and has since branched out with a bustling Instagram account and a memoir.
Bethany Mota started with her channel, Macbarbie07 in 2009. She rose to fame for her haul videos, in which she shows her fashion and style purchases via the internet. She uploads videos of outfit ideas, makeup and hair tutorials, recipes, and do it yourself ideas. She has since expanded into her own fashion line at Aéropostale. She has gone on multiple tours, which she calls her "Motavatours" to meet and interact with fans. She also appeared on Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars.
Lindsey Sterling is a violinist with 10 million YouTube subscribers, over 1.9 billion views on her YouTube channel, 2 Billboard Music Awards, Billboard chart-topping hits and sold-out tours worldwide.

"LACK OF REVENUE IS NOT YOUR GREATEST PROBLEM; A LACK OF REPUTATION IS." - RORY VADEN
There is something incredibly important in life that I don't hear enough people talking about. It's called your personal brand and it goes far beyond your career.
I started learning about personal branding over 10 years ago when I got into the entrepreneurial world. I noticed a big difference between some people's brands and others. So I started taking notes.
Today, I credit a huge part of my success, both personally and professionally, to the personal brand I've created. It's my reputation and much more.
There's no one I trust more to teach on this topic than my good friend Rory Vaden.
Rory and I met years ago and would meet up every once in a while at different events. But it wasn't until I felt the need to call him a couple of months ago that I truly learned about Rory's genius.
I was feeling a little uneasy about what to do next with my personal brand and business. I knew I needed to get an outside set of expert eyes on it.
So I called Rory out of the blue and asked if I could come meet him to talk about it.
Rory not only gave me two days of his time and hosted me at his house, he gave me such valuable insight into my business and brand that I am shifting my entire focus as a result.
I want to share this same information and insight with as many people as possible, so Rory flew out to record a podcast episode all about how he thinks about branding (and what he helps his clients do).
He even offered free brand strategy calls to any School of Greatness podcast listeners if you are interested in becoming an influential personal brand.
This conversation is a goldmine, and I can't wait for you to take tons of notes on it in Episode 670.
In this episode you will learn:
What reputation actually is (Rory's definition)
Why a lack of revenue is not your greatest problem
Rory's reputation formula to create rock solid results
How to become unstoppable through your branding
What your brand DNA is made of
How to know if a decision is aligned with your ethics
What one of the biggest lures of compromise is
The DARES test to put all your business ideas through
How to figure out the actual business you are in

THESE SUPERSTAR TWINS COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED THEIR LIFE TODAY.
One of the things I love most about how the world is growing is how the boundary between genders has been crumbling down.
It used to be that a woman’s place was only in the home. More and more that stereotype is being disproven.
Women are entering more and more areas that wouldn’t have been imaginable when I was younger.
When I was a kid, when you’d think wrestlers you’d think Hulk Hogan or Randy Savage.
Now you think of people like today’s guests: Nikki and Brie Bella.
These two sisters are a true inspiration to the next generation of women. They are the definition of girl power and show that anyone can achieve greatness in anything they want.
If you haven’t heard of the Bella Twins, they are WWE Superstars, Reality TV stars, and fashion designers.
I felt so fortunate to sit down with them and have them tell me everything they know about greatness, which is a lot. So much, in fact, that this interview went longer than most episodes.
I couldn’t stop, and I know you’ll love every moment of this one.
Nikki and Brie told me how they went from small town farm girls to superstars. They talk about the adversity they went through, struggling in a toxic home environment, and even Brie losing her high school sweetheart to a drunk driver.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 625.
Some Questions I Ask:
How did you get to think bigger than the farm life? (16:06)
When did you audition for Diva Search? (24:15)
In four days you had a contract with WWE? (29:16)
Why were you nervous to be on Total Divas? (36:15)
How do you know when to say no to something? (45:48)
What was the moment that you cried the most? (54:16)
When did you start to go down your spiritual path? (1:00:19)
Did you go on your spiritual journey at the same time? (1:04:26)
What’s the biggest lesson you both learned from your mom? (1:11:34)
Has there ever been a point where you guys disconnected? (1:23:20)
What are you most proud of your sister for? (1:28:02)
