    Some Questions We Ask:

    • When did it shift for him, from what he grew up thinking about what success is, to when it shifted to that new idea of success?

    I don’t think success is something that’s achieved. I think it’s something that we’re constantly in search of and constantly trying to attain.

    • Personal connotation and definition of adversity and failure

    Failure is just part of the process. That it’s a requirement to achieve happiness, fulfilment and success. It’s not something to be resisted or to be avoided.

    • Kobe Bryant doing the basics

    If we want to be the best that we’re capable of, we have to acknowledge that the basics work, but we have to have the humility to also acknowledge that doing them consistently everyday is definitely not easy.

    • The link between adversity and high performance
    • Sports and low stakes adversity help to develop resilience
    • Why it’s ok to get No’s (or getting turned down)

    • When she hears the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
    • What are the common themes that she’s learned from her interviews, from the people, the adversity stories and how they’ve overcome them?
    • To find your purpose or really understanding your purpose, does one have to understand themselves on a deep level? Like who you are as a person, what your core values are? Is that part and parcel of figuring out your purpose and moving forward?
      • When we have a reason, something bigger than ourselves, something that transcends our specific situation, it’s huge in helping us cope and it’s huge in helping us move on.
      • He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
    • In her work, when somebody comes to her and they’re struggling with or they’re dealing with the adversities in their lives. What are some of the things in her curriculum that she’s trying to teach them or open them up to?
      • It’s not really about the circumstance that defines what kind of a life you live, whether it be happy or rich, or not… It’s more how we respond to our circumstance.
    • What are some of the activities or exercises that she can recommend to somebody who’s dealing with adversity and trying to respond it in a positive way?
    • What has she seen as far as the impact on the community and the relationships around her in using adversity to your advantage? Are there other parts to this with regard to community, the right community around you?

      • You can’t change what happened, you can only change how you respond to what happened. And that has to be intentional and choice-driven.
    • Of parenting and resilience:
      • Our kids are not growing into resilient people and they’re not learning coping skills.
      • When we don’t teach coping skills, when we keep running in to save and protect and disallow from those negative feelings, we’re not giving them anything to deal with future adversity.
    • One action step that somebody could take tomorrow to start getting on the right path

    Some Questions We Ask:

    • When he hears the word successful, who’s the first person that comes to mind?

    None of our moments, none of the experiences that we have, no experience in the world has its own meaning. It doesn’t have an intrinsic meaning unto itself.

    • How do we prepare ourselves to meet adversities head on, so we can have the right mindset and we can see them as the opportunities that they are?

    By avoiding challenges, you make them stronger. Whatever you resist in life, persists and grows.

    • Leonardo da Vinci and the potentials of the mind

    Once you actually realize that the less you know yourself, truly know yourself within, the less potential you’re really tapping into.

    There is no destination or endpoint to our growth, to our potential.

    The more you know yourself, the more you realize that potential within.

    • Len’s background and how it influenced his work

    Once we understand that rough seas make for a good sailor, then we’re not running from the rough seas; we’re running into them.

    Continually going through challenge, meeting it and exceeding it, builds muscle. Consciousness is exactly the same.

    • The mechanics and science of how our brains work, starting from our initial thought
    • Mysticism, alchemy, Freemasons: why these are important
    • The importance of studying Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and other old philosophers of ancient Greece and Egypt

His prior novel, Year Zero, was a New York Times bestseller, and depicts a vast alien civilization whose obsession with American pop music bankrupts the entire universe.

    A former venture capitalist, Rob was the founder, CEO, and later Chairman of Listen.com, which created and developed Rhapsody – the first online music service to secure full-catalog licenses from all of the major labels.

    Sweet Adversity Podcast - Chris Romulo

    Muay Thai Champion Chris Romulo talks about his upbringing, his relationship with his father, what he’s tried to do with his own kids, and the amazing story of adversity he’s gone through to build this resilience that he has through sport.

    Guest Bio:

    Chris Romulo is a Queens, New York native who always yearned for growth. In his early twenties, he transformed himself from a street kid into a Muay Thai Champion with over 40 fights and 6 titles under his belt.

    Today, he’s a coach at his gym CROM Physical Culture and mindset speaker to both youth and adults. Chris has taken what he’s learned in the ring and turned it into a practical curriculum, U.P.R.I.S.E. The curriculum shows you how to tap into your natural abilities and become the champion of your life.

    In May of 2017, Chris co-authored and published his memoir, Champions Uprising, which displays his unwavering mindset of determination, grit, and perseverance of spirit.

    Chris has taken his focus from performing in the ring to jumping on stage to motivate, educate and inspire the masses. He has been featured in Yahoo News, The NY Daily News and Men’s Journal, to name a few.
