Do you ever wish you were someone else, perhaps someone not afraid to do all the things you dream of doing?
“Somebody once told me the definition of hell: On my last day on this earth, the person who I became will meet the person I could have become, and those two people are total strangers.
“But somebody also once told me the definition of heaven: On my last day on this earth, the person who I became will meet the person I could have become, and those two people are identical twins.” — Ed Mylett
I have heard so many stories of older people full of regret for not giving their dreams a real shot. This is something I fear myself. In this episode of Millennialism, Jordan Gross and I talk about realizing one’s full potential, living a life with no regrets, forging your own path, society’s definition of success vs our own, and much more. Jordan’s wise yet simple approach to many of the big, existential questions is truly inspiring, and hearing his thoughtful anecdotes made me think about what is actually important in life.
Jordan Gross is a 2x startup founder, writer, leadership coach, speaker, and corporate refugee turned trailblazer for positive change, optimism, and the belief that our daily actions can help us all overcome stress and anxiety. He has worked with corporate executives and employees at Google, Amazon, and various startup companies on behavioral leadership change. He has spoken on hundreds of podcasts, in libraries, at conferences, and in high schools around the US. He is also a top contributing writer on LinkedIn and Medium in the areas of Leadership, Self-Improvement, Inspiration, and Personal Development. His latest book, The Journey to Cloud Nine, (which you can now buy), has been hailed "as meaningful as The Alchemist; as brilliantly told as The Life of Pi, and as inspirational as Eat, Pray, Love.”
