Adversity...The best part of the story. Most run from hard times not understanding that the challenge is what makes everything worth it. The Good times are only good because of how bad the bad times were. One of the most important things I learned in the last 12 years in my riding journey is that I based every decision on what would make the best story. You'll understand.
Today I want to talk a little bit about mental health because it’s become and epidemic in society.
Some people spend their whole life trying to avoid pain and or escape the pain they’re experiencing.
This often leads down distrusting paths. Drinking, drugs, sexual addiction.
We’ve bought into an idea that we’re not supposed to experience any kind of pain. So we have a question lingering throughout our existence. “How do we escape”
And guess what, someone has a product for your escape. Isn’t that interesting…
The question isn’t how can escape the pain (you can’t) the question is.
“What can I do with my life that will make the pain I go though worth it”
What if your purpose was beyond worth your pain that you didn’t even blink when adversity came your way?
Breaking generational bondages, painful. Becoming financially free, painful. Going through trails in a relationship and staying, can be painful.
BUT all these things are worth it.
In this episode I talk about drive and why it's more important to find then motivation. Through my 10 years in stunt riding I went though many psychological and emotional roller-coasters that changed what was pushing me though all the ups and downs we see in this game. I take you though the negative and positive drivers that helped me reach the pinnacle in my industry and how you can attach them to your passion.
After 10 years of stunt riding, achieving just about every goal I set when I was a young dumbass kid looking for a creative way to run from my mental battles I've learned a lot.
I learned the finish line is not where you find what you're looking for, you find what you're looking for in the trenches. It's in the times that you have no idea what you're going to do and you're about to quit and for some reason you decide to keep pushing. It's when you run out of money and you have to find a way so you can get back to it. it's when you realize that what you're creating, you'd be willing to die for. That's what you're looking for, you're looking for something that you truly believe in, something that unlocks that obsession and grit within you. That's what the bike gave me. It gave me a great foundation for what was going to be the next thing for me. My family. Nothing could really prepare me for a the selfless identity shift that came onto me when my kids were born. I didn't know it would be so easy to give up something I once thought would be the beginning and end of my life.

I share my journey of building a personal brand and following on social media. This was a 10 year experiment that I'm just now starting to understand. I stared picking up major momentum by creating personalized experience for my audience, I take my audience though the process of how I became who I am today, HIGHLIGHTING the adversity and setbacks I overcame along the way. Sharing my come up and creating emotional/impactful content resinates the most.
So many people over complicate content, YOU ARE THE CONTENT. Sharing your story is key to building a loyal following on social media. By being vulnerable and authentic, you can connect with your audience on a deeper level by showing them you were once in their shoes.
This is the best way to create a personal brand that is relatable and attractive to people who follow you, brands that may want to work with you, and for your future endeavors.
