Welcome to the Sports Motivation podcast. It's your host, Nees Showbo. Today is another episode of bars where I'm breaking down what I consider to be bars. Not just rap lyrics, books as well. I read a lot. What you see right here behind me is just a fraction of the books that I have all around the house. I take a lot of pride in my library, much like Alexander

the Great. So what I'm going to break down today is a really an excerpt from a book

that's I'm reading called Pizza Tiger, and it's by Tom Monaghan who started Domino's Pizza. He has a very interesting story.

Really dope. A true came from the bottom type of story. Now let me read to you something that

But someone like Tom Monaghan, who's a multi-billionaire, very successful in business, is much like Sam Walton or Jeff Bezos, who were both known for their fearlessness as it relates to whether

not they're wrong or right. So Jeff Bezos said, listen, the only thing that I'm not going to

question is the laws of physics. Everything else is up for grabs. So this might not be the right

way to do it. And we're going going to see we're going to constantly question

ourselves and this doesn't lead necessarily to the wrong type of doubt temporarily it does cause doubt
