Summary
Dave Hollis isn’t playing around today. At the height of his career as a Disney executive, Dave found himself unhappy, unfulfilled, and handcuffed to a career that wasn’t aligned with his goals. He realized something important: he had climbed the ladder to someone else’s idea of success, because he didn’t have his own.
In the midst of facing great adversity this year (in the public eye), Dave decided to become friends with his fears and figure out why they had held him back for so long. The answer might surprise you.
Don’t miss the plea Dave gives us at the end of the show—it’s powerful.
3 KEYS FROM DAVE:
- If you found out today you only had two years to live, what would you do differently with the time you had left?
- Imposter syndrome = shame and lack of confidence.
- Start failing - in your comfort zone there is zero growth

| 0:26.5 | to participate only in the questions that |
| 0:28.9 | were specific to my responsibility and to trust |
| 0:32.5 | that the people who put me in the job |
| 0:34.9 | knew more than I might have that I was capable of handling |
| 0:38.1 | the responsibility that I was given was just such a blessing. |
| 0:41.3 | And whoever's listening today, if you need to hear this, |
| 0:43.3 | man, trust that the people who placed you in the job |
| 0:46.4 | knew that they actually knew what they were doing. |
| 0:49.3 | And don't undermine your own opportunities for success |
| 0:52.4 | by putting your foot in your mouth |
| 0:53.4 | by trying to convince an audience who's not even looking |
