In this week's show, Steven talks to Maximillion Cooper, the creator of Gumball 3000, which not only encompasses the famous road trip event, but also a collection of companies including apparel and charities.
Maximillion discusses the journey that took to him to where he is now, as well as the unique perspective on life and business that has allowed him to accumulate an incredible portfolio of art and wealth through focussing on the things he loves.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Following your passion is about recognising your aspirations and studying the people who have the life you want. It's a case of determining to do everything to achieve that life for yourself by following in their footsteps.
Sometimes the more informal routes through education can provide you with that sense of hunger and competition that makes you want to do much better.
We only get one chance at life. Every day wasted is a day we can't get back. We need to use our time here wisely and follow our passions whenever we can.
No business in the world has ever experienced plain-sailing throughout its life. Every business has its share of challenges. It is how we deal with them that marks us out as great.
Never see a setback as a failure. See it is an opportunity to go another way. Chances come at any time. Be open and willing to embrace change and learn from the setbacks.

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
