[07:58 - 28:41] No Excuses, Taking Responsibility for Your Optimal Self

Jeremy’s thoughts on creating success from nothing

Making it your passion 

Unlocking your own personal power

Leaving your prison 

Getting out of the past

Even in the ‘glory days’ can be prison 

Creating your next level 

It’s your choice 

Jeremy’s experience on the drive to improve

When expectations don’t meet the narrative 

“Because you weren’t good enough” 

“What are you going to do about it?”

What to do when you’re not good enough

Compounding hard work over time 

A word from our sponsors

[28:42 - 49:34] How You are Here is How You are Everywhere

The balance between hard work and natural born talent 

Opinions should not motivate you, good or bad

Being the best you at everything you do 

Curating your passion 

Elevating your hard work to all areas of your life

We all have the ability to learn in common 

Success comes from learning 

Your life is in seasons 

Constantly working on yourself in each season 

Don’t attach your identity to just one thing 

What you do is not who you are 

Your ‘Google Review’ 

What do you want to say about yourself

[49:35 - 1:02:57] Closing Segment

Who you know or what you know?

Would not be here without others 

Seeking knowledge from people who have done it 

Implementation is power 

Knowledge is no good with people around you
