Embrace Failure and Take Action:

Eight months later, Coach Dan Gordon walked out on stage in Dallas, Texas, in front of a packed house, being paid $10,000 for his very first professional speaking gig.

Timestamped Show Notes:
04:40 – Very few people get that like, I love failure, like failure is my friend. In fact, I've failed more times at most things and most people that I know probably other than you, I think you're a bigger failure than I am.
13:30 – Things that I learned from skydiving. One is that courage credits don't transfer. Courage credits don't transfer, you can't go skydiving to abolish all of your fears. All it's going to do is going to abolish your fear of skydiving? There's not one thing you can do that's going to transform everything. What you can do is begin to chip away at your own resistance to doing new things. So the current credits don't transfer but the practice of doing new things helps overall.
19:00 – When you do something a lot, it gets easier, like there is nothing that you do a lot of that you get worse at. I mean, you'd have to try. So whatever it is that you struggle with, that you're resistant to understand that, there is something really cool on the other side of it.
32:00 – A friend of mine is actually a rocket scientist and he says they are not that smart. But the thing that I am doing now, is I'm focused on teaching people a method of not a method, a culture of selling, that are called selling authentically. The reason it's a culture and not a method or a tool or a trick is because it's exactly what you and I are doing right now we're having an authentic conversation. Like there is no script here.
45:40 – It is my mission and intention that everybody leaves a conversation with me in a better space. Whether we end up working together or not.
47:30 – Everything that we have been talking about, is about betraying your own internal stories that tell you to not do the things that will move you forward. Those stories are designed to keep you safe. When it's time for you to step into a fire, literally, there is stories inside of you that say, don't do it! Don't follow these stories because there's a bigger purpose. So I wrote a book called Jumping The Gap, Kill Your Stories and Take Action.
01:00:00 – Final Words
Our Final Words of the Show:
I can sum it up in a word serve. Gandhi said, if everybody understood the joy of service, they would never stop. Being in service is the one thing that has propelled me forward faster, with greater gratitude and joy than anything else I've ever done.
The feeling of getting off of a call with someone and not just bringing them value, but turning the lights back on in their eyes, and I may never see them again. But knowing I did that, there is something genetic and core to our humanity about serving others.
