Summary

Be honest: do you still regularly invest time dreaming of new possibilities for your life?

While far too many of us have given up on our dreams, Jesse Cole is living proof that no matter how low (or broke) we may be, creating the life of our dreams is not only possible, but it’s never too late—and today’s episode can help you do the same.

One of the most inspiring human beings I’ve ever met, Jesse dreamt of making it big as a professional baseball player—until an injury put an end to that dream. But where one dream ended, an even bigger one began…

After realizing baseball fans regularly left games early, Jesse reimagined the sport he loved and created a wildly entertaining, fast-paced version of baseball called “Banana Ball” that has taken the sports world by storm with a waitlist of 3.5 million people and over 15 million followers online!

I met Jesse backstage at an event we were both speaking at, where he told me that reading The Miracle Morning (in 2015) and implementing the S.A.V.E.R.S. nearly every day since has enabled him to turn his life around and make his dreams a reality.
