Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
When Donald Miller was in his twenties, he felt like a victim: he didn’t believe he would be successful and he was unsatisfied with his weight. As he sharpened his storytelling skills, he realized that there are four personas inside all of us: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide, and we can choose to become the heroes of our own lives. In this episode of YAPClassic, Donald will break down these four personas and how we can take control of our lives by shifting the role we embody.
Donald Miller is an author, public speaker, and business owner who is widely considered one of the world's most entertaining and informative speakers. He is the CEO of Storybrand and the host of the Business Made Simple Podcast. He is also the author of several popular books, including the WSJ best-seller Building a StoryBrand, and his most recent book How to Grow Your Small Business: A 6-Part Strategy to Help Your Business Take Off.
In this episode, Hala and Donald will discuss:
- How Donald became the hero of his own story
- When it’s okay to be the victim
- What is the most fulfilling role to play?
- Internal vs. external locus of control
- What prevents us from transformation
- Why you should write your eulogy now
- What three stories do you want to live?
- The value of processing and accepting your death
- Why you should not view life as meaningless
- And other topics…
