Welcome to the CLS Experience.

I'm your host, Craig Siegel.

I'm a born and raised New Yorker who achieved success with multiple businesses, but I crave something deeper.

So I dedicated myself to personal growth and transformation by revamping my mindset.

I went from being unable to run a mile to conquering four marathons the following year.

Now I want to help others manufacture big breakthroughs of their own.

Success is built on adversity and failure.

And so I try to explain to people like, you know, I tell my kids,

oh, it's hard. It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everybody would be able to do it.

And you have to be able to push through the adversity. Some of the best teams I played on,

when we had adversity, you just knew having gone through it a few times over the course of the season,

you knew you were going to be able to face it head on, you knew you were going to be able to find a way through it,

you knew you were going to be able to push one another to find your best.

And other times, you just knew, you know what, this group doesn't have it. We're not able, we're not responding well to the adversity.

And so, you know, I think for me, with all the failure that I've had,

and you go back to what drives you, it's the failures is what drive you. I've got this little alter ego that

sits up here and provides me fuel that is all of the failures I've had pushing me or all the little

slights or all the things people have said. You know, when when you fail, people always, you know,

are quick to jump down down your throat and tell you, oh, you suck, when you fail, people always, you know, are quick to jump down, down your throat

and tell you, oh, you suck or all this or that. And when you have success, that's when the other

people come around, that same people are there to back pat you, the other same people are there

to kick you when you're down. And so you need to really toughen yourself
