Mental Toughness w/ Dr. Rob Bell & Tony Taylor

02/15/22 • 51 min

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to catch up with legend Dr. Rob Bell. Dr. Bell has worked with champions at all levels. He is a Mental Toughness specialist. Dr. Rob focuses on developing and strengthening the human response to adversity. We all go through adversity, right? The true question is, what do you do after you have been smacked in the face by adversity? Ask yourself how many times have you quit when you

didn’t think you would win? Every time we quit; we make quitting that much easier. Rob says, "The catalyst of mental toughness is never giving up."

Rob has consulted some of the top athletes and executives in the country. He’s not just one of those docs that study the science, he lives it.

Rob was a college baseball star who had so much promise but then he fell off a cliff. I’m not trying to be cute here, Rob literally fell off a cliff fracturing many body parts, and then went to school the following week. He’s coined the phrase, Hinge Moments. Rob says, “every door has a hinge. When a door opens that is squeaky, we apply oil to the hinge, not the door.

Tragedies that happen in our lives are immediate hinge moments. Such as death, cancer, or significant injuries because from that moment on everything is different”. This pandemic has been a hinge moment.

Healing with Reggie Walker & Tony Taylor

It was such an honor meeting and sharing space with NFL Veteran Reggie Walker. It was surreal talking to someone that I once played on the popular video game series Madden.

I really love my job! I get to meet some cool people!

My biggest takeaway from everyone that I have met through Leaders Lead is that everyone is overcoming or has overcome adversity.

I love learning about how the industry leaders that have overcome their professional a personal obstacles.

Reggie is a former NFL linebacker. He was in the league for a total of 7 years. 7 years is a lifetime for most NFL players. Reggie has the heart of a lion and is the epitome of leadership.

I knew there was something special about this dude and I’m not talking about his killer ability to shut down an offense.

Reggie is a leader.

I believe that all true leaders have been through some sort of adversity. This is leadership.

Reggie’s adversity started long before he put on a pair of cleats.

He has been through some pretty traumatic experiences. Reggie is the survivor of sexual abuse, but his story does not stop there. Reggie uses his experiences to empower others. Reggie is an advocate for mental abuse and makes his impact by speaking, writing books, and teaching.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 12, Healing with Reggie Walker and Tony Taylor

I hope this helps

I HOPE THIS HELPS!

This week’s podcast segment does not feature any of my amazing guests. It’s just me. Can I be real with you? I'm going to assume you said yes.

I create content so that others can benefit from the lessons that I have learned throughout life.

“Your pain can be someone else’s blueprint.”

If you've been following my journey you know some of the things that I've overcome.

If you're new to my feed here is a shortlist.

I grew up without a dad in my life but vowed to be the best dad on the planet.
I had low self-esteem but always put myself into situations where I had no choice but to succeed.
I conquered my fear of public speaking by raising my hand and speaking.
I conquered my fear of driving on the highway by saying, "I love driving on the highway", over and over for 20 hours while driving from my first Marine Corps duty station back home
I was homeless at one point but I believe it was one of the best things to ever happen to me.
I was a divorced single dad but then met the love of my life, Jenny.
I accomplished my goal of reaching the top position in my career field only to quit after having a quiet meltdown in my office. I'm so grateful that my wife believed in me enough to tell me to pack up, come home and so that we can start walking towards your purpose.

A very critical step in gaining the strength needed to endure your current situation is to think about the trials and tribulations you've previously conquered.

Celebrate your wins and learn from your losses. I've learned a lot these past few years.

I don’t care who you are, if you're ambitious you’re going to get weary. There will be obstacles but it's up to you to manifest a positive outcome and work towards turning those obstacles into opportunities.

Some of the people that I love the most have been going through some tough times. Sometimes It weighs on me. I would love nothing more than for the people in my life to live in complete joy. It hurts when my people are hurting. Last week I became weary and needed a pick me up.

Nothing I read, watched, or heard was working. I went through my phone and downloaded some of my old recordings. I got really inspired and decided that it was time for me to start publicly unpacking some of the mountains I have climbed. I have overcome some serious odds and vow to continue to help others do the same by using this medium. If you're not a subscriber please subscribe now. I would love to be a part of your community.
