#WinTheDay

"You need to keep the fire. And you need to surround yourself with other people who have the fire." — Tyler Bates

Our guest today is Tyler Bates, one of the world’s top composers, guitarists, songwriters, and record producers. Tyler has scored some of the biggest film and television franchises, such as Guardians of the Galaxy and John Wick.

In his spare time, he’s playing to massive audiences in the world of rock music, and back to the studio again writing and producing records with artists like Bush, Marilyn Manson, and In This Moment.

In 2004, he created the menacing audio backdrop for the popular Zack Snyder reboot of Dawn of the Dead, beginning a string of nearly a dozen number ones that have contributed to a whopping USD $6 billion at the worldwide box-office.

Tyler teamed up with Snyder again for the films 300, Watchmen, and Suckerpunch. His body of work then expanded to include films like Atomic Blonde, The Devil’s Rejects, and The Day the Earth Stood Still, as well TV shows like Californication, The Punisher, and The Purge.

Most recently, Tyler scored the blockbuster Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw, Deadpool 2, and The Spy Who Dumped Me.

Go for Stupid with Steve Sims (Ep 122)

#WinTheDay

“You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” – Wayne Gretzky

Steve Sims is a master at making the extraordinary happen...

Growing up in East London, Steve began his career as a bricklayer for his family’s construction company, but grew tired of the long hours and low salary. He committed to surrounding himself with people who had more money, and were having more fun, and that’s exactly what he did.

As his network expanded, Steve launched luxury concierge company, Bluefish, that made once in a lifetime experiences happen for the rich and famous. He’s organized private dinner parties at museums in Florence with Andrea Boccelli as the guest tenor, sent people down to the wreck of the Titanic, and brought guests on a private tour of SpaceX led by its legendary founder, Elon Musk.

As a speaker, Steve has presented to Harvard and the Pentagon. He’s also worked with an eclectic mix of leaders and changemakers, from Elton John and Richard Branson to Donald Trump and Sting. His latest book is Go for Stupid.

Ep 119: How to Win the Day with John Assaraf [from the vault]

#WinTheDay

This time last year was one of the most difficult periods in my entire life...

It wasn't just testing positive to covid on the day my wife was due to give birth (true story), it was the overwhelming burden of unrealistic expectations, an infant and toddler with significant sleep and health challenges, and being spread thin with business commitments.

I'm on day 550 of a consecutive daily journal and it's quite a gripping read to see what we were faced with at this time last year!

But 2023 is a completely different story...

I'm physically close to the healthiest I've ever been, I'm clearer on the professional mission than ever before, and I spent an entire week on my personal goal-setting to develop the ultimate plan.

Heck, even the kids are sleeping through the night.

I'm starting 2023 on offense. But the memories from last year are real, raw, and deep. That's why I wanted to record a podcast to help YOU make this your best year yet ... even if you're starting the year on defense, like I did in 2022.

It's also the first ever LIVE recording of the Win the Day podcast [click here for the video episode]!
