The School of Greatness - 621 Fill Yourself with Energy with Rob Dyrdek

Episode Date: March 30, 2018

“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. Learn how you too can keep your energy up and inspire the world around you, on Episode 621. In This Episode You Will Learn: Rob’s work ethics (00:55) What drives Rob to achieve his goals (1:20) Where your beliefs come from (1:42) How you impact the people around you (3:00)

This is 5-Minute Friday! Welcome everyone to a very special edition of the School of Greatness podcast. Why is it so special? Well, I've got my brother from another mother from Ohio in the house. His name is Rob Dyrdek, and this guy is just one of the most genuine, honest, real, authentic dudes that I've ever met. And for those that don't know who Rob is, he is a renowned storyteller, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, pop culture personality, ex-professional athlete, retired stuntman,

and brand ambassador. He was the host of the hit TV show, Rob and Big, which is where I first learned about him. Also Fantasy Factory, and now the current host of the hit show Ridiculousness. I consider myself a do-or-dier. Someone that has the fortitude, the work work ethic and the grit to turn all their passions into reality by seeing it believing it planning it and doing it and to me in a self discovery of like really what makes you tick and then i look at it as an even deeper level of i'm passionately compelled right i don't have contrived ambition.

Like I'm not being driven by trying to prove something wrong or trying to do anything. I genuinely passionately compelled to do all the things that I do, right? I am obsessively curious, right? You relentlessly learn and completely evolve and continue to shift into different levels of reality based off of the knowledge that you have and the ability to set goals and build plans only based off of what you believe in. Your belief is only based off your knowledge, right? It's just an experience, right? Relentlessly consistent. You get me the same way. Parking attendant gets me the same way as Lorenzo Fertitta and billionaires and TV executives to skate kids.

And you know what I do. If you're around me, you know how hard I work. I've never not worked hard. I don't all of a sudden, I don't go high and low and disappear. Profoundly grounded. It's success or failure, there's a lesson and it's all humbling. You know what I mean? At the end of the day, grateful based off of God, what an amazing life that you've even been allowed to live, right? I love that.

And honestly, brilliant. You know what I mean? There's things that I really know that I'm great at and I'm honest with myself on the things that I'm not. And I think that someone like me, who's, who thinks they can do everything, you tend to like, think you can do everything and get caught out there when you're Mr. Know-it-all about everything that you don't fully understand, because you decide what it is based off of your experience, right? And I think that's sort of a part of me that has evolved. sort of a part of me that has evolved energetically driven like where you're inspired by energy that you know your energy is going to control all those around you and that that ultimately we're all energy and how it all feels and feeds in and out is going to determine how everything around you ultimately works you know what i mean and you know the source of all the

outcomes around you 100 right 100 responsible responsible and even mastering how to master that energy is the fundamental core principle of happiness yes you know what i mean it's like you literally either wake up and you see the world half full that means it doesn't matter what's going on you're handling it you're looking towards the future you're progressing all this stuff you see it half empty you're you could pick apart in every aspect of your life right so to me in this evolution it's becoming how do you get up every day and make sure you're looking at it half full and the simple fundamental controlling your energy right because at the end of the day that's all that you have you can sleep for two hours and if two hours and you're living in that energy. You could go 100 miles an hour.

It doesn't matter. You could sleep for seven hours and be healthier because your diet is on point in every last aspect. And you could just feel dead. The weight of the world could be on you when you're half empty.
