Summary
Today on the show Jayson is talking with motivational speaker, pastor, and founder of Breathe University, Dr. Eric Thomas. Eric had a tough upbringing in the heart of Detroit, but he didn’t let that stop him from becoming the best version of himself and always seeing the positives.
Eric and Jayson talk about how it feels to inspire and motivate people with energy and passion, and why that is much more important than money ever will be. They also discuss what we can take away from the great athletes of the world, and how they never gave up and never lost that winners mentality.
Highlights:
- Inspiring people with energy and passion
- Focus on the process, not the outcome
- 85% is not 100%, no one is rewarded for trying
- Gain the traits of the greats
- It takes the same effort to complain as it does to do something
- The feeling of making a difference in someone’s life
- Eric’s wife getting sick, and making the most of it
- Eric’s new book, You Owe You
- And much more…

And, you know, no excuses. And I've never really done a lot of podcasts or speaking several years ago. It started a couple years ago. But you're one of those influence that I would listen to. And a lot of people like, you got to listen to this less. I'm like, I need it raw. I need it real. I need it right to the face. I need someone to make me feel like I got to get off my ass and do something. And that's what you're able to do. Like you inspire people with that energy and that passion that people lack. |
