Blame Others or Fix Your Own Mistakes | Ben Shapiro
DON'T LET "POTENTIAL" BE WRITTEN ON YOUR TOMBSTONE.
About ten years ago when I was playing professional football, I got injured.
I ended up on my sister’s couch.
I felt bad for myself and thought that there should be a way for people like me to get help.
Then I realized- what if I could solve this problem?
It was that experience that led me into the work I do today.
One of the reasons I don’t follow politics is because I want to focus on overcoming our own challenges.
That’s why I’m so interested in my guest on today’s episode of The School of Greatness: Ben Shapiro.
Ben Shapiro is editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of "The Ben Shapiro Show," the top conservative podcast in the nation. Ben is the New York Times bestselling author of seven nonfiction books and is constantly featured on major newspapers and websites.
Ben believes that people need to look within when they have a problem. He’s more interested in root values than debating specific issues.
He ruffles a lot of feathers and I don’t agree with everything he says, but I still think you’re going to enjoy this one.
So get ready to learn about going from victimhood to a powerful mindset on Episode 742.
