The Master of Reinvention - Here's Exactly How to Reinvent Yourself - Charlie Rocket - #024

You are under no obligation to be the same person you were yesterday.

These are Charlie Rocket's recipes for reinvention.

Not many are more qualified to speak on this than Charlie.

He got fired twice in the music business, then went on to manage 2 Chainz. At 29, he was 300 pounds with a brain tumor. Nine months later, he was a Nike athlete. He then left that world behind to build a multinational charitable organization called the Dream Machine Foundation, where he travelled the country making people's dreams come true. He has since established himself as a global speaker, and in this episode talks openly about his next phase of reinvention: becoming a NYT Bestselling Author.

He is a testament to the power of delusional optimism, as well as the profound humility to begin again, time and time again.

His life is vibrant because he has been willing to choose again when his spirit longs for something new, and this conversation invites you into the 'how' behind it all.

Enjoy :-)
