Summary
In this episode, I interview Devin Williams. Among many things, Devin is a basketball trainer, video editor, GoPro and Adidas brand ambassador, and overall creative mastermind. His deep love for basketball allowed him to excel further past his dream of playing in the NBA one day. Failure wasn't an option for Devin. In fact, his craft was discovered "randomly"... Listen to how Devin created the 10,000 Hours movement, and how finding your niche shouldn't always have to be clear from the very beginning. You ready to put the work in? Hour one starts NOW.
Some Questions I Ask:
- Explain the "10,000 Hours" movement; what does it stand for?
- What does hard work mean to you?
- What's your philosophy on passion?
- Tell us about your first video ever made; how did the brand grow from there?
- What's your training mindset like?
- How do you deal with impatient athletes?
- Describe your train of thoughts, learning process, and self-evaluation
- Do you have advice for anyone experiencing moments of depression/doubt?
- What about meditation is key?
- What book(s) do you recommend for people to read?

| 0:00.0 | Yo, before we get into the podcast, I want to thank you for committing to growth. |
| 0:10.6 | If you're listening to this podcast, I know you're the type of person who is committed to living life at a high level. |
| 0:16.4 | To live in a legacy of intense personal drive and achievement to be in challenge to walk a path |
| 0:21.0 | that many are simply not willing to commit to. I salute you. I also know that you want to be |
| 0:26.5 | equipped with a dominant mindset so that you can succeed and dominate in any environment, no matter |
| 0:32.1 | the circumstances or obstacles. See, I've played and competed at the highest level of sports |
| 0:37.4 | in the best league in the |
| 0:38.7 | world in the NFL and have now gone on to experience a lot of success in my business and am now |
| 0:44.1 | helping ambitious and committed athletes and top performers just like you to develop the |
| 0:49.8 | mindset and strategies they need to dominate in any environment. So the question is, how much longer are you willing to let doubt, to let anxiety, lack of focus, |

| 1:05.0 | What is the price of not developing that dominant mentality you need, of not establishing a clear vision and goals to match, |
| 1:11.3 | not being disciplined, diligent, not being relentless in the way that you approach your goals and |
| 1:16.8 | your mission. See, I know you know the importance of expert level coaching and guidance, |

| 1:30.9 | I know you want help from someone who has been there, someone who can approach your challenges |
| 1:34.2 | and problems from a place of knowledge and confidence. And that's why I'm offering you a free |
| 1:39.4 | 60-minute strategy session with me. All I ask is that you are serious about taking your career to the |
| 1:45.1 | next level. You're willing to be challenged and push to new action, and you're willing to invest |
| 1:49.8 | both time and money into your process and results. See, it's 2016. That means there's going to be |
| 1:56.1 | no shortage of competition, and there's definitely no shortage of obstacles. You've got to be able to restructure |
