You want a life you’re excited to live. That’s a given. But why does it continue to be so elusive? That’s a question my guest and good friend, Rick Trimmer, has spent the last 20 years of his life trying to answer. From building 12 highly-successful businesses to traveling the world with his family for the past decade, he knows a thing or two about what makes a person a success and how to make it so for the average man.  Today, Rick and I talk about getting over what other people think of you, creating integration between professional and personal pursuits, how to identify what types of businesses to start, the ability to let the non-issues slide, the power of consistency and persistency, and, ultimately, how to build the life you desire.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS  (00:00) Episode Intro  (00:52) Overcoming Failure and Taking Action  (08:28) Mindset and Expectations in Business  (13:20) Letting Things Slide for Better Relationships  (20:32) Lessons From Growth and Resilience  (31:34) Navigating Modern Challenges With Scarcity Mindset  (35:56) Life Changes and Travel Adventures  (44:24) Embrace Life's Adventures and Experiences  (53:49) Travel, Family, and Business Tips  (01:03:27) Adventure Education and Experience Retreat  (01:07:39) Outdoor Adventure Event Planning and Vision   Order of Man Merchandise.

Do Not Misrepresent Your Failures, Moving on From Hardship, and Identifying Truth and Lies

Most men have never been in a fight in their life (or, at most, a handful). So, what does it take to enter the Octogon and make a 16-year career (and counting) of administering and receiving the brunt end of physical violence. It’s something my guest today, UFC legend, Jim Miller, has done. And, he’s brought us so many incredible moments in the world of professional MMA.  Today, Jim and I talk about what it takes to fight for a living and why he believes he was built to fight. We cover some of the highs and lows of his career including his debilitating battle with Lyme disease and his recovery, how he shapes his training atmosphere for maximum results, how to win and lose with class and grace, ensuring he never puts himself into the victim role, and his immense respect for men who step into the cage with him.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00)Episode Intro (04:18)Fighter Nicknames and Future Fights (11:42)The Path to Success in MMA (24:46)Navigating Public Opinion and Personal Standards (30:46)Parenting and Fighting (42:02)Lyme Disease and Its Impact (56:01)The Lifestyle of Hunting and Fighting   Order of Man Merchandise.
