The Kickass Life Podcast with David Wood

“Loser!” “Idiot!” “No one likes me!”  “I’m pathetic!”: These are just a few of the negative translations that David’s students have given to a “NO” they’ve received. In other words, someone says NO to us, and for some unimaginable reason, we turn a simple NO into something much worse. Ultimately that translation ends up defining our success, and often stops us pursuing our dreams. Listen in as David shares a strategy to build a solid “NO Muscle”  that has worked for him over the years, and allowed him to truly live a Kickass Life!

After being forced to retire because of an injured back, “Jimmy the Butcher” Smith had earned a grand total of $400.000 for 40 years of work. His wife suggested that he become a crosswalk attendant at a local school and accept the inevitable, that there was nothing out there for an injured 56 year old butcher. Jimmy stumbled across a tape that changed his life and the lives of millions of people! Today he and his two daughters have earned almost 30 million dollars, and last year he paid more in taxes than the president of the United States earned! Join David as he gets up close and personal with one of his real life heros and great friends Jimmy Smith as he shares how at 84 he is still living a Kickass Life by helping others do the same.
