DCGZ 77: Rob Cook - What It Means to Be a Contender

Rob Cook by night runs and operates a podcast called Contenders Wanted, and by day is an account executive for a FinTech company changing the financial planning world called Elements.

On his podcast Contenders Wanted you work to solve your money problems without sacrificing what’s most important in life. Is there one path, or multiple, to reaching your financial freedom goals that doesn’t sacrifice what’s most important to you? And why do some succeed and others fail who use the same tactics?

On the show he dives deep into the inflection points of the guest’s journey’s focusing on “how” they chose their path and “why'' they were successful. Highlighting for the necessary habits, mindsets, and choices they made that enabled them to be successful, so we can discover and clear our own roadblocks and get in the fast lane to financial freedom.

Throughout the course of the episode, Aaron and Rob discuss:

• How to Find What You’re Really Passionate About
• There’s Voices in Your Head That Aren’t Your Own
• How Can We Become Comfortable Challenging the Status Quo?
• The Greatest Lesson Rob’s Grandfather Ever Taught Him
• Sometimes the Best Lessons Are Learned When You Go Down the Wrong Path for a Little While
