Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with acclaimed speaker, writer, and life coach Tim Storey to talk about acting like the champion you already are. We talk about the ways shame, guilt, ego, and past setbacks can conceal the greatness God put inside of us, and how revelation, conviction, and action help bring it forward. I share how losing everything forced me to confront who I had become, while Tim opens up about playing through his own wounds and helping others reset after pain. We also talk about asking for help, receiving with humility, and shortening the time between a problem and its resolution.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm David Meltzer, and I'm here with my co-host, Tim Story, the legendary thought leader.
0:04.9	He's worked with everyone from Oprah and Robert Downey Jr. to Nelson Mandela, and I'm blessed to say that he works with me.
0:10.7	He's taught me more than any other mentor that I had.

0:41.2	So the champion is inside you, but the thing is most people never discover the person that
0:47.8	they really are because it's hidden.
0:50.0	To be hidden means to be concealed.
0:52.7	So talk a little bit about that because you've seen so many people
0:56.4	that they are champions, but yet it's concealed by their shame, their guilt, or their past failure.
1:03.7	Yeah, so interesting because it's not even necessarily what we think and that we put on to people
1:09.3	that everybody's a champion. To me, it's your God.
1:12.8	Yes. Right? Your God has already anointed you, that you are a champion. Yes. And so we can't
1:19.3	find outside of us what actually exists inside of us. And so what we're really doing is interfering where people would think is hidden inside.
1:30.8	What we're actually doing is interfering with the champion of champions, our co-creator,
1:36.4	who has commanded us, not mandated or demanded us, but commanding, you are here to work
