Summary
You can inspire the world. Or you can be liked by all. You don't get to do both.
I feel energized to share this Mastery Session with you. And I need to humbly thank you for sharing each episode I release.
Millions of elite performers from 60+ nations have listened them since I started doing them a few months ago.
In this one you'll learn:
- how to fight the fear of conflict that stunts epic innovation
- ways to rise far above The Cult of Average
- why every visionary and titan gets ridiculed before they become revered
- the common mindsets of Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Kanye West and Usain Bolt
Go for great. Own your game. Be kind. Get big things done.
With love and respect,
Robin

| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Robin Sharma, author of the leader who had no title, founder of the Titan Academy, |
| 0:07.0 | and welcome to this mastery session. |
| 0:09.1 | This mastery session is all about the value of being disliked. |
| 0:14.0 | So here's the brain tattoo I want to offer to you with great love and respect. |

| 0:55.3 | saber-toothed tigers. This neurobiological instinct allowed us to continue when if we |

| 1:18.8 | And we live in a world right now where there are so few people willing to be disliked. |
| 1:24.0 | Here's another idea I want you to wire in as a core belief. |
| 1:28.0 | Every visionary was once ridiculed before they were revered. |
| 1:32.0 | I'm going to repeat that again because I believe it's so important for you as an a player. |
| 1:36.2 | Every visionary was initially ridiculed before they were revered. I mean let's look at someone like an Elon Musk or a |
