Fit Mess: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI

121. American Ninja Warrior Jessie Graff Shares How You Can Face Your Fears And Become Your Own Superhero


Listen Later

ABOUT THE EPISODE They've broken all kinds of records. They are champions in every way. They push to perform to their full potential, and some can even claim to be the finest in the world at what they do. Elite athletes devote their entire lives to achieving the highest levels of success.

Then there's the rest of us.

But, how can we apply the same passion and dedication to achieve similar levels of success in our own lives?

In this episode, we try to answer those questions with help from a superhero. Jessie Graff is a "modern-day Wonder Woman." Graff is the first woman to complete stages 1 and 2 of American Ninja Warrior's Las Vegas finals.

She is also an accomplished stuntwoman in Hollywood. She's worked on films such as G.I. Joe, Transformers, Wonder Woman, and Alita: Battle Angel (to name a few). She’s also worn a famous red cape while performing some heroic stunts on the TV series Supergirl.

Listen to find out why you don't have to have superpowers to be the hero of your own story.

What We Discuss with Jessie:
  • Jessie's best piece of advice for reaching seemingly impossible goals.
  • How she stays motivated, even when injured.
  • The key to overcoming whatever hurdle you come across.
  • How she discovered the stuntwomen's profession and became encouraged to pursue it.
  • How she uses a mindset shift to avoid disappointment.
  • How she prepares mentally and physically for each challenge.
  • Various levels of dedication are required for training in order to gain strength and experience while being safe.
  • Lessons she learned from her mother, which she applies to Ninja training.
