“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” – Jim Rohn
Welcome to Episode 200 of the Win the Day podcast!
To celebrate this milestone, I’ve brought in a very special guest…
Graham Weaver grew up in suburban Ohio, where he would listen to self-help cassettes while mowing lawns. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Alpine Investors, with USD $16 billion in assets under management.
Graham founded Alpine based on the belief that exceptional people create exceptional businesses.
He also teaches a top-rated strategic management course at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business — and his positive and practical social media content has amassed 1.2M+ followers.
What I love about Graham is how he successfully integrates career, mindset, health, and family. He is the epitome of Win the Day and the perfect guest for Episode 200.
Also in this episode:
• The shift in mindset that put Graham at the helm of a billion-dollar business.
• How to stay motivated to do the boring reps.
• What your metric of success should be at the end of each day.
• Why life is suffering – and how to choose something worth suffering for.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Graham Weaver!
