What's going on, guys? Welcome back to the Jeremy Scott Fitness podcast radio show.

Coming to you this Sunday morning on a little podcast I've been called Master of Failure.

0:09.9

And I'm going to kick it off with a quote here to kind of set the stage.

0:13.9

And I quote, I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.

0:17.4

I have lost almost 300 games.

0:20.1

26 times I have been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I have lost almost 300 games. 26 times I have been trusted to take the

0:22.3

game winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life.

0:28.1

And that is why I succeed. End quote. Michael Jeffrey Jordan, the greatest basketball

0:33.9

player of all time to ever walk the face of the earth. And I share that with you guys.

0:38.0

Obviously, I'm a Hoops fan.

0:39.8

But if the greatest to ever do something has failed that many times and considers it

0:45.5

success, I think we should as well.

0:48.8

And I'll say this, to say that, I failed you guys at just about everything I've attempted

0:53.6

in my life.

0:54.0

No, I don't have enough time here on this podcast to share all the things I failed doing, nor do I have them written down anywhere because the list would be too epic and too long to grasp. But I'm going to share a few of them with you here today because I think a lot of you guys, if you see me on Instagram and Facebook and listen to my podcasts and read my books or the blogs we put out, you'd think like, man, this guy's got his shit together. And admittedly, at this point of my life, I feel like I do, or as much as anybody can. I think we're all, you know, proverbial 17-year-olds faking it as adults. I still feel like I'm, you know, in high school. I just happen to have more responsibilities at this point, and I know more shit. But I really don't feel any more adult, like, if you will. So early on, you guys in high school, especially, I was a terrible student. Remember the first time I took the ACT, I got a 17, which I don't think there's any college in the world that lets you win with the 17 is the score.

1:47.1

It took me three more attempts to squeeze out a 26 to be college ready, if you will.

1:53.5

I went, end up, long story short, my last year of high school, I ended up going to this, you know, kind of prestigious private, you know, school academy with a bunch of

2:01.1

really, really IQ smart academic people who end up going into places like Duke and Notre Dame

2:07.8

in places that I had no, no shot of going to, I'll say that.

2:13.5

And I graduated like the bottom five of everybody in my class.

2:17.3

So it makes you feel like you're not successful. And on the side note, I don't think school was really built for a guy like me. I don't have an answer to the school solution, but unless you're going to work for the machine, I think there's not a lot of things that school teaches an entrepreneurial type person. It's just built, you know, to kind of do one metric

2:34.8
