The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 46: How The Undeserving Olympian Transformed His Life
Ever felt like you weren’t good enough? No matter what you did, how many awards, how many titles or how high you climbed you just haven’t felt good enough?
If you’ve ever felt that way you’re going to love this podcast.
Well, meet Jason, an Olympic silver medalist. Despite winning a silver medal at the Olympics Jason didn’t believe he was worthy of the medal because someone his wife worked with told him “that he didn’t deserve the medal.”
As you’ll hear, Jason did deserve the medal he won yet he let one person derail him for years. Hear his story of how he got beyond the opinion of others.
In this episode we talk about:
- [9:32] What we deserve in life
- [11:26] The stories we tell ourselves
- [26:46] Contribution in life over achievement
- [38:41] Why it doesn’t matter how good we are
- [39:31] Letting go of judgement
- [40:57] Persistence without exception
And much, much more.
This was a fun interview and it will resonate with most people. Jason is an Olympic medalist and until we met he still didn’t feel like he was “good enough” in the eyes of many people. He is no longer that person. Listen to how he put all the low self-worth behind him.
Transformational Takeaway: There are two of them: One, Stop worrying what other people think, no matter what you do, people are going to judge you and two…life is all a story.
