WOW, the Summit of Greatness happened last week!
It was beyond amazing, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it (plus show you the highlight reel) very soon.
I am feeling really grateful for all of you who follow The School of Greatness and make my job possible.
It means the world to me to hear the feedback of how this movement is changing people’s lives and what they are doing as a result.
After hanging out with so many incredible people last week at Summit, it’s only fitting that I bring you a guest on today’s episode who is a world champion at what he does.
TJ Dillashaw won the 2014 UFC Bantamweight World Championship and he is gunning to get back that title this year.
I met him a while ago through our mutual friends at Onnit Academy and was super impressed by his humble attitude.
Sometimes being a world champion in a sport like UFC attracts a lot of ego.
But TJ has built his success from the same principles I strive to live by – hard work, clear vision, service, commitment, and belief in himself.
We had a great conversation for the podcast about how his career has come together and his perspective on where the UFC is headed.
I’m excited to introduce you to my friend TJ Dillashaw in Episode 389.
