The #1 Thing Stopping You from Success

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Dr. Amanda on her podcast Midlife Muse to talk about how to build momentum in business and life through gratitude and self awareness, why the fear of “being seen” is holding you back, and the impact of 6th place trophies. Dr. Amanda and I also discuss why losing is good, the impact my mother has had on me and why hanging out with 70-80 year olds will change your life for the better.

You’ll hear about:

1. Definition of Failure: The ultimate failure or “loss in life” is defined as only "eight people showing up to that funeral" due to cutting and stepping on others to succeed.

2. Regret and Fear: Regret is viewed as "poison" and "wasted energy". People do not live life as their true selves or mitigate regret because they are worried about the opinions of others or people in their life who embody "misery loves company".

3. The Value of the Elderly: Recommending spending time with a non-family member over 70 to gain wisdom and learn about regret.

4. The Era of the 70-Year-Old: The prediction that society is nearing the "era of the 70-year-old" where wisdom will be valued over youth.

5. Parental Influence and Fear: Many people absorb the fear of their parents (often a mother or father), which prevents them from pursuing their ideas.
