Today I'm picking the brain of the coach of all coaches, who I'm fortunate to call a friend. Rob Scott is a coach who helps people shift, and dramatically break through -- and he's REALLY good. 

He’s filled with incredible real life experiences, years of research, and of coaching some of the smartest and coolest minds on the planet (Did I mention he just spoke at Google?)

"Our thoughts and beliefs are the lenses through which we look at the world. ~Rob Scott"

During our chat, Rob shares his life story and tells us how he’s given huge meaning to the incredible amount of trauma in his life. He went from being homeless to Vice President in just two years; talk about a story! He literally went from being in the darkest to a  life in the front row.  

Today’s topics include:

  • The power of questions
  • How to say yes when you don’t even know how you’ll do it
  • Dealing with the pull of instant gratification
  • How to gain courage in the face of fear
  • Up leveling who you are, starting now
  • Time & Action

Rob reveals how to take the leap, and how he changed his belief system in order to have the confidence to say yes. He blows my mind with thoughts around limiting beliefs, sharing his top three steps for dealing with them, and explaining how our minds are potentially keeping us from our biggest and best life. He’s currently living an amazing life professionally and personally, and bringing so much greatness to the world while he’s at it.

Dan has been featured on CNN, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and more. He even had his own TV show and is the host of his own TapouT Radio show on SiriusXM.

"The best in the world aren't the best by mistake, they're the best because they ran the miles." Dan Caldwell

Today we’re getting a front row seat view of his life story, going all the way from ice cream scooping to being a police officer to being a millionaire.

We’ll dive into:

  • Why Dan has tattoos from his knuckles to his neck, what they mean and why they may be tied to his rise to success
  • His struggles as a father and businessman as he runs multiple businesses
  • What it means to have no Plan B
  • Why he got thrown out of a 6 year old's soccer game
  • The crazy thing you should do in the next 24 hours that will change your life
  • The importance of relationships

Dan is also a public speaker, and he tells us the most exciting parts and he loves speaking with kids at high schools. We talk about moments where Dan has stepped up and acted in a courageous way, stories about overcoming fear with courage, and why you should be transitioning from limiting beliefs to positivity in order to succeed.

When it doesn’t go the way we thought, we may think it’s over, but there’s always something waiting for us. Dan explains why he began “walking around with his eyes open”, and why being open to opportunities is critical. He also answers how to know when to keep pushing through, and when to let go.

We move on to how Dan teaches kids to live with courage and be themselves, the importance of striving for greatness, and what he wants his kids to say about him looking back.  We wrap up with some pretty fun questions, and even better answers.

"I don't want to ever be in the game anymore and just play.  If I'm going to play the game I want to be the best at that game."  Dan Caldwell

So go ahead, take that action and let us know how it goes. You can get in touch with Dan on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
