Arnold Schwarzenegger is an actor, businessman, former Governor of California, and legendary professional bodybuilder, among many more accolades. In this episode, Arnie opens up about his humble beginnings, confessing he never could have imagined the extraordinary path his life has taken. He shares the story of when he first visited London in 1966 as a 19 year old, to compete in the Mr. Universe competition, and reflects on how his life has transformed since. Arnold shares his unwavering belief in setting goals and passionately pursuing them, claiming he doesn’t need discipline, rather he is fueled by the pure joy of chasing goals.


Arnold reflects on pivotal moments in his life and challenges he has encountered, from being labeled a narcissist by his father for his focus on physical appearance, to dealing with self-doubt whilst pursuing his wildest dreams. Throughout this, he emphasises the importance of having a clear vision, unwavering faith, and a supportive community. Arnold also acknowledges the contributions of others to his success, rejecting the idea of being a self-made man and highlighting the significance of building and maintaining a community.
