Summary
How well do you really know yourself?
The year was 2014. Rob Dyrdek is in his late 30’s and supremely confident that he knows himself inside and out. Then, he takes a personality assessment. And his whole world is turned upside down. The results became the catalyst to build the strategy and design the life he lives at an incredibly high level today.
In this episode, Rob shares the deep insights he received from that first and subsequent personality assessments that have shaped and refined the way he approaches building and designing his business and his life. It’s not just about the results, it’s about what you do with the results. How you apply them. How they validate your strengths and highlight weaknesses you may not be able to independently admit to yourself. One of the most transformative processes he has experienced, Rob encourages you to take the time to do the same.
