On this episode we have on gold-medal winning Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Not only was Jackie voted by Sports Illustrated (and many other publications) to be the greatest female athlete of the 20th century, but she helped shift the minds of an entire generation by the way she did it.

In this episode you'll discover:

*How one of the greatest athletes in history responded to finishing dead last in her early competitions.
*Why having a good mentor doesn't mean having someone who will agree with you.
*Who inspired Jackie to excel and what drove her to attend UCLA.
*Why having a healthy confidence is important (but not going overboard).
*Why positive self-talk is critical to high levels of success.
*How you can learn valuable lessons from the failures in your life.
*Why you should always shoot for a goal BEYOND what you want.
*How to maintain your health and fitness as you progress in age.
*Why looking at exercise as a form of punishment (like many people do) is a huge barrier to success.
*A major reason people are not exercising regularly (we are calling people out!)
*Some of the surprising benefits of walking.
*Why resourcefulness is far more valuable than having certain resources.
*How storytelling can help to motivate and transform the lives of so many people.
