“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” – Jim Rohn
Welcome to Episode 200 of the Win the Day podcast!
To celebrate this milestone, I’ve brought in a very special guest…
Graham Weaver grew up in suburban Ohio, where he would listen to self-help cassettes while mowing lawns. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Alpine Investors, with USD $16 billion in assets under management.
Graham founded Alpine based on the belief that exceptional people create exceptional businesses.
He also teaches a top-rated strategic management course at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business — and his positive and practical social media content has amassed 1.2M+ followers.
What I love about Graham is how he successfully integrates career, mindset, health, and family. He is the epitome of Win the Day and the perfect guest for Episode 200.
• The shift in mindset that put Graham at the helm of a billion-dollar business.
• How to stay motivated to do the boring reps.
• What your metric of success should be at the end of each day.
• Why life is suffering – and how to choose something worth suffering for.
