Have you ever had someone speak a truth into your life that shakes you up and wakes your soul? For me, it was my mom telling me, “You can be better. You can be great.” Her words unlocked a drive within me that I didn’t know existed. As a sports agent, I’ve seen firsthand how drive can transform lives and how complacency can quietly sabotage potential. Over the years, I’ve learned that drive isn’t innate; it’s something you can cultivate. In this episode, I share how tapping into that drive, rather than settling for mediocrity, can help you overcome obstacles and achieve your biggest goals. I’ll also challenge you to reflect on where you might be settling in your own life and provide tools to reignite your own Dynamic Drive.

I wrote my new book, Dynamic Drive, to show that you can achieve greatness AND find fulfillment. In a world obsessed with fleeting success, it’s possible to pursue your goals unapologetically—without compromising what truly matters most. In this episode, I dive into redefining the concept of "drive.” Traditionally, drive has been about a singular goal and achievement, but this linear approach often leads to burnout—and even complacency. I argue that instead of focusing solely on achieving a goal, we should adopt a concept I call "Dynamic Drive." This approach emphasizes continuous self-improvement and aligning our actions with our core values and purpose. Unlike traditional drive, which is finite and solely focused on an outcome, Dynamic Drive is about constant growth and renewal, helping us avoid the trap of complacency and ensuring that our pursuit of a better life is both sustainable and fulfilling.
