#84: Resiliency, Creativity, & Never Settling with Mario Armstrong Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

“The truth that I've found with myself, but also very successful people that I've been exposed to, is the one rule they don't want us to all know. And that is they're all making it up as they go along.”

Success is not a straight path. Chasing down a dream will be fraught with rejection, loss, and pain. The key to achieving success is to be resilient and creative. Continue to take steps in the dark, not knowing that the path is there. Don’t let perfectionism hold you back. And ask for help. This is the advice of two time Emmy Award–winning talk show host, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur, Mario Armstrong. He risked everything to follow his passion and made a hit TV show out of creative solutions and the unwillingness to settle.

Mario Armstrong is an Emmy award-winning American radio and television talk show host, entrepreneur, podcaster, and public speaker. His web television series, Never Settle, provides the advice and tools to help others hustle mindfully to pursue their passions.
