Summary

Not your typical working-class kid.

Spencer Lodge has come from nothing to become an internationally recognised author, speaker and business leader with over three decades of experience building startups across the world into 9 figure organisations. Spencer has also created an award-winning podcast with some epic guests including Tony Robbins but it’s been far from an easy climb to the top.

In this special episode, Spencer talks candidly about hitting rock bottom and why he has never been able to fully bounce back from his darkest moment despite achieving extraordinary levels of success. A brutally honest interview and a fantastic insight!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When people experience great pain or challenge it can provide a turning point in life. The desire to never again feel that pain forces them to re-evaluate and realign their journey going forward, leading them to new opportunities.
Many assume that wealth equals success, but when we attach our identity to a certain path in life, that way of life becomes far more important than the temporary rewards it can bring.
We often make the mistake of thinking that our life partners are there to be our counsellors, and that their duty is to bring us back from darkness. We cannot hope to live our lives through others. Our partners have their own lives, interests, passions and pursuits.
When we overcome the most challenging of experiences in life, we should use the platforms we have to help others to overcome their own demons. Resilience inspires resilience.

BEST MOMENTS

'This could be a catalyst - an experience to lean into to find strength'

'The greatest revenge is massive success'

'Rejection is part of success and you have to embrace it'

'Progress needs to be made'

0:00.0	Hi everyone and welcome to the animation podcast. I'm really excited to share this episode with you.
0:05.2	It's real, it's raw, it gets emotional and it's very inspiring. This week I am joined by the
0:11.4	phenomenal Spencer Lodge. Now for any of you who are not familiar with Spencer, he is known as
0:17.6	a world renowned sales expert. He's a serial entrepreneur who has experienced taking businesses
0:23.5	from nothing right through to nine figures. He's a motivational speaker, he's an author,
0:29.6	he's the creator of the Make It Happen University and he's also an award-winning podcast host
0:35.4	that's had some insane guests such as Gary Vaynerchuk and Tony Robbins. He's an absolute super star
0:42.1	and it's a pleasure to bring his story with you today. I hope you get as much value from it as I
0:46.4	did. Enjoy. Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the animation podcast. This one is
0:52.6	going to be a phenomenal interview. I'm joined by an absolute legend, the wonderful, the one and only
0:57.6	Spencer Lodge. Thank you for joining me. Legend. I love that word. I'll be a legend.
1:03.5	You are a legend. I've been doing so much. You know what? I've just got to ask because you're
1:09.6	an award-winning podcast host. How does it feel to be at the other side of the microphone, the one
1:14.8	that's answering the questions and not asking them? I like both sides if I'm honest with you. I don't
1:23.2	like my podcast to be like questions. I like to be a couple of people having a chat about something
1:27.8	relevant to the guests. So yeah, I'm happy either way. You? Yeah. Well, I love getting to know people
1:36.5	and I love doing the prep new due diligence beforehand as well. I absolutely love that.
1:42.0	But on the flip side, that is quite good. Just being able to rock up and be unprepared and just
1:46.3	see whatever comes in your head. I say that. I don't actually prepare. I don't know about you.
1:50.4	It sounds like you've got a very similar style. I always know lots about my guests but I don't
1:54.8	tend to have rigid questions like to go where the conversation takes us organically. It's funny,
1:59.9	you know, my team, my team obviously do all the research and then they send me a list of questions
