Tim Schurrer - Success: It's Not What You Think. Or is it? Ep. 3

09/06/22 • 42 min

You're scrolling through social media and you're inundated with one repeated theme: success. Or at least what we're told is success. Spotlight, followers, likes, revenue, influence...I could go on. Our society is permeated with a very one-dimensional idea of success.
Tim Schurrer decided to challenge that narrative and wrote a book on redefining success. He presents a much more fulfilling alternative to Hollywood's idea and he highlights the individualistic nature of success. What you consider success may not be the same for me or anyone else. I promise you'll walk away feeling encouraged and liberated to pursue your own ideas of success.
He also shares some great stories, including his early dreams of becoming the next John Mayer and what he learned from a conversation with sports legend Jim Nantz.
Tim's an author, host of a top rated leadership podcast and CEO of David Novak Leadership. Tim has spent his life creating inspiring content and living out the concepts he writes about in his book.
