[Publisher needs to add a card at awesound.com/payments] I told him right from the beginning…
“I feel like I don’t know you anymore… You’ve never told me this…”
I don’t know how you get voted to be least successful in high school…
…And then turn that all the way around…”
That’s the shortest of the short behind the man we know today as Doctor Tim Laskis.
He says that he was Beavis and Butthead back in high school…
Losers… Bums… But all and all some cool friends.
Hmmm….
Today though, he’s working with pro athletes, moto cross bad asses, executives, and entrepreneurs…
Which is quite a long way from being demoted to floor sweeper at his dad’s business.
And literally aspiring to be a garbage man…
A few years ago, I came across this study on European soccer players.
It was studying and tracking how many touches each player had on the ball…
And how long they had it before they passed it away.
If you’ve ever watched the World Cup before…
You might have seen this phenomenon that the study found…
Many players, most of the time, as soon as they got the ball…
They passed it away.
Get It Away From Me!!!
When asked why the hell would you do that…
You know… Instead of trying to score…
They said that they would rather pass the ball to someone else than make a mistake…
#YBS
Like Wayne Gretzky said…
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
In addition to getting Tim’s feedback on guys who ride motorcycles…
Who voluntarily fly hundreds of feet through the air as fast as they can…
We talk about how Tim turned his life around to become the man and the father he is today.
Why he decided to stop BSing himself… And his life…
And I hope to have Tim on in the future…
Because we didn’t even get into his journey to Costa Rica…
Where he started a business… Sold it… And then came back to the US…
Wrote his book, “Finding Your Costa Rica”
All after graduating with his doctorate.
I hope this conversation sheds some light on your blind spot…
And so you can start living the question…
Instead of stopping at just asking it.
Y B S?
You can pick up Tim’s book, Finding Your Costa Rica right here…
And see what he’s cooking up on his podcast and blog at
On Instagram
And LinkedIn
(My fav)
This was such a legendary conversation…
I was inspired to write this article right after we recorded it…
Please, do me a favor right now…
It would be a huge help and will only take 2 seconds.
It would mean the world to me if you shared this…
The most important thing to me right now is spreading the message behind YBS…
And the best way to do that is together.
If Tim’s story resonated with you, share this right now
Gracias
