Welcome to the show, folks. This is wrestling change my life. Here we go.

Yeah, that was a point in my life. Things weren't going well. I was working a job in construction,

which I didn't like. That week, I lost my job, my truck blew up. We just closed on a house,

which I would have had like, I really had no idea how I was going to pay for that house now.

And we just found out we were pregnant and we had 16 people coming for Thanksgiving.

We can adore anything and adapt and pivot and change.

Wrestling gave us that ability. I would say that nothing in life has impacted me or

that things wrestling has taught me in terms of self-reflection, resilience, toughness.

Some guys have it, some guys don't. Adversity, 100%, how to pick myself up and be a man after I

failed. And everything that has shaped my life and where I'm at today would not be there without

the values and basically the lessons I've learned through the sport of wrestling. For me,

wrestling is saying a life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

We're fortunate if you wrestled because if you wrestled, natural talent helps,

but it's 5% of the ingredient. It pales in comparison to heart and technique and effort.

It humbled me, taught me humility. Nothing can humble you more than wrestling.

I think it's the learning to adapt, right? You learn how to adapt, you learn how to solve problems.

You know, if I look back my time, that's good wrestling. If you give me one thing more than

anything else, it's mental toughness. Welcome back to the podcast, folks. You're listening to

wrestling change my life. This is your host, Ryan Warner. My guest today, ladies and gents, is

Wade Burgess. Wade is a business man in the truest sense of the word. He was an early employee at

LinkedIn and worked his way up before that. He was a wrestler at the University of Nebraska.

He's been a CEO and now he's a chief revenue officer at rev.com, that on Austin, Texas.
