If I could talk to my 23-year-old self, I’d tell him 2 things: 1. The things you’re most afraid to do are likely exactly what you need to do. Your comfort zone's a beautiful place, but nothing grows there. 2. Failure isn’t the opposite of success; it’s part of it. I used to…
Once I started to ask myself this question, I slept better at night, I became more present with my fiancé and friends, and I was finally able to focus on goals that mattered. When I found myself stressed, I started to ask myself: Will I care about this 5 years from now? The…
One of the greatest skills I wish I’d developed earlier in life is that “done is better than perfect.” Messy action beats perfect inaction every time.
Don't forget the power of being your own competition. Strive to be better each and every day.
Compete externally and you compare. Compete internally and you improve.
We can't always control what happens in the world around us, but we have control over how we respond to it. I don't interpret this quote to mean that he's saying he never has a thought he'd prefer not to have. Rather, just like how we can control how we respond to what happens…

The most reliable way to change your entire life is by not changing your entire life. If you try to change your life all at once, you will quickly find yourself pulled back into the same patterns as before. But if you merely focus on changing one specific habit, work on it…
This is great advice. I especially love #5: You think you'll live forever. So much good has come into my life by following the answer to the question: What do you want to do before you die?
Last week I spoke to over 10,000 in Vegas, Denver, and Milwaukee. It was a wild week sharing the mic with legends like Adam Grant and Shaun White. Right before going on, I was asked: “Do you still get nervous?” My answer: 100% I do But here’s the shift that was a game-changer…

We all have a dream that we keep buried. However, we push it down. We tell ourselves it’s not the right time… …that we’re not ready… We might even start to believe that we’re just not good enough. The result is that we become stuck. The fear of the unknown paralyzes us,…
Stop waiting to have all your ducks in a row. Stop waiting for the perfect time. Stop waiting to feel inspired. Stop waiting to feel ready. Just act. Take the step. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Start small and follow the spark. You’ll learn by doing. Remember,…
I had a great time on the pod! Be sure to give it a listen.
The biggest regret that people have on their deathbed 😳👇 watch this... Ep with @BenNemtin
This was a first! Two keynotes on a luxury cruise ship in Spain! An organization chartered a cruise ship and invited me to speak twice out on the high seas. Out of everything I loved about this experience, one thing hit differently (and it wasn't the seasickness). My keynotes…
