Summary

Dustin Watten is a professional volleyball player and five year member of the USA Men's National Team. He is most well known for his underdog mindset and work ethic; Dustin spent six years wiping the floors of the USA Volleyball gym in hopes to make the roster one day. As he puts it, “For six years, I committed myself to the grind, preparing my mind and body everyday with the belief that one day I would get my opportunity.” Eventually, after all that hard work, Dustin got his shot and went on to win the 2015 World Cup Championship with the team. Along his journey he has also become a passionate seeker of knowledge, studying various philosophers, mindfulness teachers, and stoics, all of which helped him to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually. If you're looking for that inspiration to finally dig deep and commit yourself to reaching your fullest potential, this intimate conversation is for you!
