In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share the wild story behind why I’m currently rocking a sling…and what ripping both of my biceps taught me about risk, purpose, and why playing it safe is a trap!
You’ll also hear how an unpublished Napoleon Hill course from 1917 inspired me to level up not just as a marketer, but as a person. I break down 15 qualities Hill believed made someone unfireable, and they’re just as powerful today as they were 100 years ago.
The good stuff never goes out of style or becomes irrelevant!
We also talk about wrestling tournaments (You know… old dudes with replaced hips still chasing greatness), the true role of an advertiser, and why “a ship in a harbor is safe… but that’s not what ships are built for”!
This one’s a personal one. It's part motivation, part business masterclass, and part time capsule from one of the greatest thinkers of all time.
Key Highlights:
- The bicep story: Why I wrestled through torn arms—and don’t regret it
- Two types of “What ifs”—and which one will change your life
- The 15 qualities that made Napoleon Hill say: “I’ll hire you on the spot”
- Why personal development is the secret to great advertising (Hill + Collier knew this)
- The Peterson Academy model, and why it fired me up about education
- A ship in the harbor is safe… but that’s not what ships are built for
This episode will hit home if you’ve ever felt stuck, soft, or like you’ve been playing too small. Let this be the push to get back in the arena!
