    742 Ben Shapiro: Problem-Solving in Life and Business

    DON'T LET "POTENTIAL" BE WRITTEN ON YOUR TOMBSTONE.
    About ten years ago when I was playing professional football, I got injured.
    I ended up on my sister’s couch.
    I felt bad for myself and thought that there should be a way for people like me to get help.
    Then I realized- what if I could solve this problem?
    It was that experience that led me into the work I do today.
    One of the reasons I don’t follow politics is because I want to focus on overcoming our own challenges.

    735 Stop Overthinking and Start Doing with Gunnar Lovelace

    DON'T LET PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF GOOD.
    We can talk ourselves out of almost anything.
    “I’m not good enough.”
    “I’m not ready.”
    “I don’t have all the skills.”
    But what if you just took the plunge? What if you risked things not being “perfect” and put yourself out there?
    You might fail, but you’ll learn a lot more than if you had never shown your project to the world.
    It’s like I always say- the biggest risk takers are the most interesting.
    For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with the entrepreneur Gunnar Lovelace who is passionate about telling people that it’s ok to make mistakes.
    Growing up poor with a single mom left Gunnar with a burning desire to create wealth to do good. As a result, he is a five-time serial entrepreneur focused on social impact at scale (people, planet + profit). Gunnar is the founder and CSO of Thrive Market, which offers organic groceries online at wholesale prices nationally. It has raised $200 million and grown to seven million users and 700 employees in three years.

    707 How Champions Win

    707 How Champions Win

    FIND THE WINNING BALANCE.
    You hear so often that people get to the top of the mountain and realize that the summit isn’t the answer.
    To be a champion, you have to know that there is so much more to success than a final outcome.
    If you focus on the goal without being connected to your joy and larger purpose, you will get burnt out.
    But when you’re coming from a place of passion, the results will fall into place.
    To explore this topic further, I gathered parts of conversations with four world-class champions who’ve visited The School of Greatness in the past: Julianne Hough, Ray Lewis, Shawn Johnson, and Novak Djokovic.
    Julianne Hough is a two-time winner of ABC’s Dancing with Stars and now sits as a judge on the show. She’s one an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography and has appeared in many movies and TV productions like Footloose (2011) and Grease Live on Fox.
    Ray Lewis is a former NFL linebacker. He is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Super Bowl MVP and played his entire 17-year career with the Baltimore Ravens.
    Shawn Johnson is a gymnast who won a gold medal in the 2008 Olympics for balance beam and a silver medal in floor exercise and all-around. She’s also a five-time Pan American Games gold medalist.
    Novak Djokovic is a Serbian tennis player is currently ranked third in men’s singles. He’s won 14 Grand Slam singles titles and four Wimbledon titles among many more.
    These athletes have achieved the immense success in their fields and have all realized that being the best is not enough of an end goal to give them purpose.
    So learn how these champions get in the mindset to win on Episode 707.

    621 Fill Yourself with Energy with Rob Dyrdek

    621 Fill Yourself with Energy with Rob Dyrdek

    “SUCCESS OR FAILURE, THERE'S A LESSON - AND IT'S ALL HUMBLING.”
    I get a lot of people asking how I stay motivated and passionate about all my projects.
    It’s honestly one of the simplest secrets I have.
    If you want to stay passionate, get things done, and keep on top here’s what you need to do:
    Stay curious.
    When you are curious about things, you pursue that knowledge to the point of mastery. The more curious you become, the more excited you will be.
    That excitement is the key to success. All that energy you build up will charge the people around you.
    Energy feeds energy, and when you don’t have energy it’ll lower everyone else’s energy around you.
    To help you understand more on the topic I wanted to bring you this clip from a previous episode with Rob Dyrdek.
    If you don’t know Rob, he’s another Ohio boy and sensational icon.
    He was a pro athlete, former stuntman, and current host of the hit show Ridiculousness.
    On this episode of 5 Minute Friday, Rob breaks down his success and how he keeps the passion flowing in everything he pursues.
