Summary

It is one thing to be the toughest woman in the room and it is entirely another thing to be the toughest person in the room. When you allow yourself to be haunted by past fears and failures you put yourself at a disadvantage and lock your potential away in the safety of a box. In this episode today, one of the toughest and most resilient people you will ever come across joins Tom to share her insight on what it takes to beat the odds and kick ass, failure after failure. Lupita Nyong’o said, “It’s only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you’re not expressing the utmost of your human experience.” The essence of being a total badass, owning your failure and swinging hard to conquer no one but yourself is what Sarah Robb O’Hagan brings to the table. Get ready to take action, it’s the only way forward. QUOTES: “I just don't want to get fired, so I will do anything to help and support and listen and learn and truly, like that is what I think made me successful there because I was a sponge like taking it all in and recognizing there was a hell of a lot more that I needed to learn to be good” [7:28] “I’ve learned along the way when you are trying to be something you’re not that is when you lose your confidence” [10:20] “The minute you acknowledge what you did you have control over changing that.” [17:23] “Don’t ever worry that someone didn’t ask you to do something, just get on and do it.” [25:41] “It’s about getting them to understand that you will be happy and fulfilled if you do whatever you do in your life off of your own steam, [...] For me the single biggest learning is like, don’t look for shortcuts, don’t look for people to give you handouts. Go figure it out for yourself because that is what will make you the most satisfied happy person you can be” [30:15] “I just have worked in predominantly male industries the whole way through, and it just I never even really noticed that I was the only woman at the table very often, I just was like ‘well fuck I’m here’, so I am going to do the best I can and it’s up to me to outperform my peer group whoever they are.” [32:14] “Until you’ve been to the depths of the canyon of despair like that’s where the learning and the growth comes from and you come back so much stronger on the other side.

Alright, I'm Tom Billew and welcome to Impact Theory.

1:06.5

Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Impact Theory. On today's episode, we are joined by arguably the most interesting woman in the world, entrepreneur activist and endurance athlete, Sarah Rob O'Hagen.

1:19.5

Sarah spent the majority of her 20s with the constant fear of being fired and relentlessly fighting to find her own lane.

1:42.5

How you doing? Awesome! How are you? Very good thank you. Wow! Absolutely fantastic. It's awesome to be here.

2:11.5

Doing this research was really interesting. Seeing how much fun you have was really surprising. Because you think as people become more and more aware of what women especially have to do to really climb the ladder, you think of them as really taking on aggressive traditional male tactics.

2:30.5

But you're also fun and funny and laugh till you snort. It may happen today. I'm very open to that. So that's pretty incredible. Now I wore the shirt in your honor, which toughened the fuck up buttercup.

2:44.5

Yes, it's gone! I love that. I do that. I love how you answer to every question about what people have to do to succeed with. Basically you've got a shine, you've got to outwork people, you've got to bust ass.

2:56.5

And is it true that in New Zealand that one of the biggest insults you can say is your half-assing? Oh for sure. That means you're a fucking not-brain-it. And that means you're not even contributing to the team that alone doing the best that you can do. So for sure, that's not cool.

3:13.5

I love that. You said something in the book. You have to have an honest assessment of your ass-ness level.

3:21.5

Actually, you mentioned Adam Grant. Adam partnered with me and we created a quiz that is now on my website extremu.com, which measures your ass-ness level. Are you kicking ass? Are you half-ass? Or are you totally not asking at all? And it's awesome. Like we've gotten it down to psychological rigor.

3:39.5

What are some of the questions? It's really interesting. I have wrote my book as you know, where I basically studied some of the world's most successful people

3:50.5

through a very broad range of walks of life in Korea. So you know, I'm talking Bodimelo, who's a downhill skier, Mr. Cartoon, the tattoo artist, Conberlees and Rice. Kind of successful, right?

4:02.5

And I interviewed these people and then said, how do I figure out the common threads of what made them essentially achieve their potential, which is I know what you believe in?
