Finding a New World in the Back of a Bobsled
What Didn't Kill You? with Michael Silverman
04/13/21 • 50 min
Having a respectable job title and making good money out of it, living in a cozy apartment in a cool and upcoming part of town, driving a luxury vehicle, and wearing fine clothes would sound like graduating from a great university and getting an MBA paid off. For most people, that would sound like a successful life, and they might be right. But when my guest got there, she looked around didn't like what she saw. So took the leap into a totally different pursuit!
Today's guest is Lauren Gibbs, Olympic Medalist, Bobsled World Champion, Corporate Speaker, and Director of Internal Sales at Parity. Lauren has a Bachelor's Degree in Public & Private Sector Organizations, Business, Entrepreneurship from Brown University and an Executive MBA from Pepperdine University. She won the Olympic silver medal in Bobsled in South Korea in 2018 and the 2020 International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation World Championship in Germany.
In this episode, Lauren shared the story of why she decided to abandon a comfortable life and an excellent corporate job to become an elite athlete. We talked about succeeding in life, ticking all the boxes of society's expectations and personal realization. She also spoke about how hard it was to become an Olympian, her fears, frustrations, and how it was for her, who hates losing more than enjoys winning, committing to something regardless of winning, tying, or losing.
To learn more about Lauren's journey of sacrifice, dedication, discipline, and chase for happiness and fulfillment, tune in to Episode 21 of What Didn't Kill You.

- What's next in the Olympic journey? Are you focused on winning another one? (26:40)

In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- When climbing the corporate ladder is not good enough (1:55)
- Finding something worthy of leaving behind a comforting life (4:26)
- There are only two gold medals for ten of the most talented, hard-working, deserving women. (10:42)

A Hero's Journey. Ups and Downs in Douglas Raggio's life
What Didn't Kill You? with Michael Silverman
05/11/21 • 47 min
Having massive financial success and driving a Bentley a couple of years after graduating from college can be a little confusing without the proper guidance. Douglas Raggio was doing great the first six years after college. Jumping from helicopters to boats every weekend and spending recklessly, he felt he would make that amount of money for a long time. But that is not what happened. Business went wrong. He traveled without scales from living a luxurious life into a humbling experience that led to almost a decade of a painful and self-destructive existence.
Today, I'm joined by Douglas Raggio - a serial entrepreneur, a Food & Beverage Investor, and Founder. Douglas is the Founder of Pass The Honey and Bias & Blind Spots. He is also a Forbes Contributor, Steering Committee Member at Naturally San Diego, an Advisor at SOS Hydration Inc, and a Member & Advisor at COMMON LLC.
In this episode, we talk about Douglas' journey from having it all to being in debt, to finding success again. He shared what he felt going through the most challenging times of his life and how the myopic perspective of focusing on making it to the next day made it harder to get out of that place. He also talked about the close call that awoke him from almost ten years of a destructive and hopeless lifestyle. We also talked about his new life as a food company owner, the paralyzing decisions, and his new purpose-driven life.
Tune in to learn a lot about life and a lot about honey business!
Some Questions I Ask:
- I'd love to start by asking you a bit of your background before becoming an entrepreneur and investor in CPG (1:15)
- You mentioned your childhood. How did your childhood experience play into your professional and adult life later on? (9:41)
- It seems like you've gained a tremendous amount of perspective. What kind of work have you put in to get that perspective, if any? (16:42)
- How have your experiences and your hardships contributed to the entrepreneur and advisor that you are today? (19:04)
- What's that feel like to have this incredible sort of drive with this one goal versus spending a lot of time, as you described, rudderless? (39:28)
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- Fueling the ego. Living a luxury life (3:09)
- How things from our childhood can stick with us (10:30)
- A close call that changed everything (12:46)
- What kind of financial advisor Douglas became after his experiences (19:10)

Lauren Ivison: Building a Personal 360 Framework for Conscious Leadership
What Didn't Kill You? with Michael Silverman
11/03/20 • 71 min
Today I'm exploring a very specific subject matter - Personal 360s. It's an idea that I'm been thinking about applying in my own journey of personal growth and I discuss it with Lauren Ivison - business coach and founder of ‘Totem Leadership’. Lauren and I spend some time on her path to coaching and the elements that help her form a foundation for the leaders she works with; as well as how her own path to using the ‘Personal 360’ framework and how it's contributed to her life and work.
Lauren and I come at some of these personal growth and development ideas from fairly different points of view and I loved our conversation. Whereas I have a tendency to look for opportunities to "self-traumatize" and look for hard things in order to get better, Lauren advocates a bit of a softer approach that has a lot of wisdom to it. It certainly gave me a lot of ideas as I develop my own Personal 360 and think about how to continue down the path of growth and development.
If you have ever done one, or plan on doing one, be sure to share and let me know!
To hear more, tune in to Episode 13 of What Didn’t Kill You!
Some Questions I Ask:
- Did you approach the idea of ‘Totem Leadership’ from a more professional standpoint or were you able to make those empathetic coaching connections as well? (7:47)
- What are your thoughts on anonymizing the feedback you receive? (20:47)
- How do you feel about the ‘self traumatization’ that many companies put themselves through in order to grow? (37:13)
- How has the ‘Personal 360’ concept affected how you approach your team environments? (53:49)
In This Episode You Will Learn:
- Some background on Lauren Ivison & Her journey to founding ‘Totem Leadership’ (1:11)
- How Lauren built the framework for the ‘Personal 360’ (10:47)
- Why embracing vulnerability and radical candor has yielded positive results in Lauren and her clients (16:10)
- The personality aspects of giving and receiving constructive feedback (23:45)
- Why softer approaches are a necessary mitigator to intense personal growth (30:03)
- The hyperbole behind self-inflicted trauma and personal optimization (43:47)
- Why it’s important to stay present, rather than feeling a need to constantly be in motion (45:33)
- The false dichotomy of self-fulfillment and personal gratification (49:30)
