Season 30, Episode 355: Guest: Jimmy Delay: Business Energy Transaction

“Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me.  At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called "the love of your fate".  Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need".  It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity; a challenge.  If you bring love to that moment, not discouragement, you will find the strength is there.  Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life.  What a privilege.  This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow.  Then, when looking back at your life, you will see the that moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage, were the incidents that shaped the life you have now.  You will see that this is really true.  Nothing can happen to you that is not plausible, even though it feels and looks in the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes.” - Joseph Campbell

Lending and mortgage professional with Paramount Residential Mortgage Group Jimmy Delay is dropping by the show today to talk a little shop!  Jimmy talks about not viewing failure as a bad thing, but more of a way to test your resolve and to teach you how succeed by seeing what the other side looks like.  We're also going down the rabbit hole on what mortgage lending looks like in today's economy, what it feels like to have true support from a company, and Jimmy's connection to Jay's book Thirty Days of Thought.  There's a lot to unpack today and we hope you'll enjoy this conversation with Jimmy Delay.
