Summary

Frank Ferrante, Jeff Gomez, and JR Martinez have all had their own experiences rewriting their stories, and what they say will help you rewrite yours.

JR Martinez says, “I think that's what drives me to this day, is I want to be that old man on the rocking chair and I'm on the front porch one day, and not asking "What if? What if? what if?" I want to be the guy that said, "I tried it. I didn't probably complete it, but at least I gave it a shot," you know? And that's what matters more than anything. You have to ask yourself, the question is, whatever you're unhappy about, is this what you want your life to become?”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Find where you belong. Life is not linear
- Don’t let your past dictate who you’re going to be
- Acknowledge what is holding you back in life and confront it instead of ignoring it
- First 2 chapters of your life are written for you, you get to write the rest
