Summary
From chart-topping hits to life-threatening lows—how did Timbaland go from producing for Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake to battling addiction and obesity? And more importantly, how did he take his life back?
In this raw and revealing conversation, music icon Timbaland shares the blueprint behind his incredible transformation—how he broke free from opioid addiction, lost 130 pounds, and rewired his mindset for long-term success. He and Dave dive into the power of discipline, the dangers of quick fixes, and the hard truths about personal transformation.
Timbaland opens up about the mental shift that saved his life, how he kicked a high-dose opioid habit cold turkey, and why his new “drug” of choice is something anyone can access.
Most people want change, but few actually achieve it. What separates those who succeed from those who stay stuck? And how can you apply Timbaland’s hard-earned lessons to your own life?
