JGRP 007: Developing Mastery and Overcoming Obstacles with Kent Weed (Creator of American Ninja Warrior and Executive Producer of Hell’s Kitchen)
Join Jason Goldberg and Kent Weed in this week’s episode as they talk about all of the experiences Kent has faced throughout his whole career. They address important topics such as: how to overcome obstacles in life by having a clear vision, how to keep being persistent despite personal and professional problems, how impactful it is in our body and physical health to not feel fulfilled with some aspects of our life, and how to shift your mindset around changes.
“I’m a big believer that you make your own way in this world, but it doesn’t mean you can’t use connections to get there.” – Kent Weed
Kent also shares his thoughts on the current situations of television productions with COVID happening, how important it is to manifest your creativity during these tough times and how it all correlates with meditation. You will hear from Kent a little bit about his childhood, his background with TV production (working on famous TV shows like Hell’s Kitchen), and about his transition from having a “behind-the-scenes” type of profession into a more noticeable one being an environmental activist.
“If we can get people to not be so heavy about everything and not let things bother them so much, it becomes much easier.” – Kent Weed
