Welcome to Episode 25 of The Madhappy Podcast. Today we welcome Rob Dyrdek onto the show to learn about how he keeps a positive mindset throughout his daily routine and hear about his mental health journey up to this point in his life. We kick off the episode with a discussion about qualitative awareness as Rob speaks about and how the technique allows you to identify the aspects of your life that are consistent anchors (7:17). We talk about the importance of finding activities and the core systems that provide energy rather than take energy (17:45) as Rob talks about how, with these systems in place, he was able to learn how to better weather the highs and lows of life daily (25:48). Mason asks Rob about the skating culture and how he was able to grow as an individual with his skater mentality (30:54) before Rob gives his take on social media (35:23). We talk about the importance of family (41:26) before we wrap up learning what’s next for Rob as he hopes to evolve and optimize his life even more in the next three to five years (43:40).
