129. Systems You Need to 10X with Rob Dyrdek (Part 1)

Robert Stanley Dyrdek is many things. He's an entrepreneur, actor, producer, reality TV personality, and former professional skateboarder. He's possibly best known for his reality shows 'Rob and Big', 'Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory', and 'Ridiculousness', but none of that does it justice. Every time I talk to Rob Dyrdek, I feel like I'm seeing a powerful version of what essentialism plus effortless can do for a person. In this conversation I ask Rob specifically about the 10X business transitions that he's gone through and what he's learned through the process and how he's been able to do that, not just once, as it turns out, but multiple times. By the end of this episode, you will be able to lead better, whether you are the CEO or the CEO of your own life.
