Summary

Hoby Darling, CEO of Skullcandy, in pursuit of his success, got out over his skis and accelerated through the turns, got up early every day, set the bar high for his community, and built up obstacle resistance by challenging himself on a regular basis. Darling demonstrates the wisdom of leading by example, not by decree. He shows that one of the most crucial aspects of motivation is redefining what is possible thereby opening the door for others to excel. In this episode, Darling will reveal what it takes to dream big and turn that dream into a reality.

Lessons:

1. Leaning into yes makes life a lot more fun and interesting.
2. The best way to motivate others is to set a great example and let those you’re trying to influence figure out their path.
3. The best way to advance in life is to concentrate on doing your best everyday and the bigger picture will often take care of itself.
