About the Guest :
Rooney Niemi is the CEO of his own coaching company and COO of PTV Labs and DOP3 Energy. A former competitive bodybuilder, he now channels his energy into mentoring others in resilience, discipline, business, and fitness. His coaching is built on lived experience—facing near-death moments, battling illness, and rebuilding with structure and intention. Rooney believes true success comes only when you master yourself.
Key Takeaways :
-
Resilience is built in adversity—Rooney turned illness and over 40 surgeries into blessings that taught him strength and perspective.
-
Shifting from “what-if” thinking to an “even-if” mindset removes fear and excuses, creating room for courage.
-
Discipline starts with honesty about what not to do—skipping workouts, chasing instant gratification, or lying to yourself.
-
Routines become rituals when practiced consistently; structure brings freedom.
-
Success is tied to personal growth—your achievements will never exceed your level of self-development.
-
Gratitude is not just words; it requires results, action, and living with intention.
-
Early mornings and consistent wins set the tone for a day of confidence and control.
-
Feedback—positive or negative—should be listened to and acted on, not ignored.
-
Discipline is not suffocating when tied to self-respect and pride in who you are becoming.
-
Helping others begins with first proving to yourself that change is possible.
