Summary

Do you believe in the impossible?

Ever since I started my podcast I knew there was one story I wanted to tell. There’s one person that has the ultimate ground up story. One person that has come from nothing and yet created so much. He’s a man that continues to give back and shows what’s possible with the right attitude. His name? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

But there’s a problem: The Rock is an international super-star & probably the busiest person on the planet. Me? I’m just a guy with a podcast that no one listens to. How the hell am I going to achieve this oddly specific dream?

That’s where you come in. I’ve created a website with a huge tweet button that auto-generates new messages for The Rock. I believe with the right energy, the right message, we can inspire The Rock to come on my podcast. And if we can do that… we I think we can inspire the world.

0:00.0	They say it's impossible. They say it can't be done. That it's a waste of time, that it's silly or stupid.
0:11.2	They ask why. I ask why not. They ask how. I say I'm not really sure, to be honest.
0:23.0	But today we make the first leap forward.
0:27.7	That's right.
0:28.0	When I started this podcast, I thought deep about who has the ultimate ground up story.
0:35.1	Who really shows what's possible with the right attitude?
0:39.0	Who has come from so little and yet created so much? When I thought about who that person would
0:46.8	be, it didn't take long for me to think of one man, the rock. That's right. I've had this crazy goal to get The Rock on my podcast
0:57.9	since the very beginning. It might even be the reason why I started this podcast to begin with,
1:05.0	to be able to sit down and tell this man's story to hopefully inspire the world. But before we do that, we need to inspire the rock
1:15.8	to come on my podcast. And I've been talking about this with guests for a very long time,
1:21.8	and we've been brainstorming, trying to figure out the best way to capture his attention,
1:26.5	because his attention is very precious
1:30.1	and it's also very difficult to get because this is a guy that has over 50 million Facebook followers.
1:37.4	He has over 95 million Instagram followers. He gets over 10,000, 15, sometimes 20,000 comments a day across all of his social media accounts.
1:46.6	So how do we capture that attention?
1:50.0	Mind you, I'm a guy who has 75 followers on his podcast Twitter page.
1:57.8	So I don't have a lot of ammunition and I don't have a lot of clout. So it's going to
2:02.8	make this one of the most challenging things I've ever attempted to do. But that's why I'm asking
2:09.0	for your help. And that's why today is a really important and a special day because for the first
2:14.2	time I'm launching the website. It's called get the rock on matspodcast.com.
2:20.3	I've got a hashtag as well.
