010: From Loser to Legend Part 2 w/Skip Jansen


Listen Later

Legendary sales executive in the corporate events industry, Skip Jansen continues his personal journey from being an alcoholic who started drinking at 11 years old to designing a legendary life and having a “true north.”







I never compare myself to other people anymore. -Skip Jansen




Key Takeaways From This Episode







  • When your life isn’t working, it heaps a lot of fear on you. You have to get over the fear.



  • Gratefulness can transform your life and your relationships



  • Don’t judge a person by the obstacles they’ve overcome. If you really want to know someone, put someone in a position of power.






  • We kicked off Part 2 with Skip’s “true north,” which is to be a good son. Skip reminds us that our responsibility is to the best version of ourselves, regardless of how we feel about others in our life. Maybe you have a bad spouse, but just because you have a bad spouse doesn’t give you the right to be a bad spouse in return.




    Skip then shared on;







  • The power of gratitude



  • His near-obsessive love of Pearl Jam concerts



  • Why he stopped comparing himself to other people



  • The ability to be content and show up as YOU






  •  
    We also discussed how Abigail is a “spoiled dinosaur” and why we may never eat chicken again. And finally, Skip left us with a legendary quote, “I find that the biggest limitation on my life is in my my own mind.”
