It's Friday, which means we get to share with you another one of our most popular clips from a past interview. What you're about to listen to is trending this week on our Facebook page. Hope you enjoy.

1:17You're in your early 20s and you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. You're traveling the world as a professional skateboarder. What's life like? man it was bizarre man i really was lazy you know smoked a lot of weed in that era and wasn't committed to the craft right i think in that 21 to to 24 era i was very lost right i i didn't skateboarding wasn't giving me the fulfillment that i i needed right it wasn't So I was trying all this different stuff, like trying all this different skateboard companies, and I was getting hurt all the time. Why wasn't it giving you the fulfillment you needed?

2:06I just didn't, it just wasn't enough. You know what I mean? It didn't feel like success to me. I was still like, there was still so much hunger for what success could be, but misguided hunger. where it was like I didn't have a stake in the ground to chase after anything. And it really wasn't until I had had a couple shoes now and made some good money, and I'd begun designing the shoes. And at the time, Ken Block in D.C., I was 24 years old, and they were basically like, you know, your best years are behind you. We appreciate what you've done for us over the years, and we think we're going to give you one more shoe and give you a two-year contract to basically say thank you, and we think you're done.

3:03How did you take it? I remember sitting in there and looking at him and being like, man, it's not lip service, I'm not saying to say it, but in two years I'm going to be a completely different person, and there's no way that I'm done and that this is the end. And I'm not even going to say it. I'm just going to prove it. And I literally left that place, started searching for hypnotists, and found the hypnotist, the great Dr. George Pratt, who wrote a book called Hyper Success, unleashing your true inner belief that you believe you are meant to be successful. And I got hypnotized for success. And then literally in that two-year span, became the best skateboarder of my entire career, but also to the very top of the industry.

4:04And then from that point on, only signed two-year deals with DC for the next 10 years because I was like, no, two years from now, you're going to pay me even more. And two years after that. So I wouldn't even sign. Everybody was signing three - and five-year deals. Up until two years ago, I signed a seven-year deal. Up until that point, at 38, I had only signed two-year deals because of him telling me, like, we're going to give you two, we think we're hooking you up. And so now it's like, and now it became the benchmark of, no, every two years, I'm going to be so much better and bigger than I was the previous two years.

4:42No one goes to Hanks for spreadsheets. They go for a darn good pizza. Lately, though, the shop's been quiet. So Hank decides to bring back the$1 slice. He asks Copilot in Microsoft Excel to look at his sales and costs to help him see if he can afford it. Copilot shows Hank where the money's going and which little extras make the dollar slice work. Now Hank's has a line out the door. Hank makes the pizza. Copilot handles the spreadsheets. Learn more at m365copilot.com slash work. AI is moving fast across the enterprise.

So this hypnotist that you went to, you really believe this hypnotist was responsible for or played a critical role in you becoming successful? I believe so, yes. Why? I think it's understanding the period where you were in your life and then ultimately, why were you so scattered for so long? Why were you so lost? and why did you spend three or four years desiring and wishing rather than working?

6:16And was it just that conversation of doubting me and someone questioning me that really turned on that much of a fire? It seems unlikely. And to then go through that process and go through this idea of only working on and betting subconsciously that you believe you were meant to be successful. Nothing more, nothing less. And then you go and do, you make a run like I made. It's hard to believe otherwise that it didn't have some sort of grand connection to it. As always, thanks for listening.
