How I Hit 1 Billion Views | YouTube Wrestler Simon Miller Reveals His Systems for Success

from Getting Back Up · host Anthony Ogogo

Join Anthony as he interviews Simon Miller, a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling known for his positive attitude and massive online presence. Despite never working for major wrestling companies like AEW or WWE, Miller has accumulated over a billion views on YouTube. The conversation delves into Miller's inspiring journey of overcoming setbacks and staying true to himself in the challenging industries of wrestling and the internet. Tune in to be inspired by Miller's resilience and positivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Simon focuses his energy on the everyday. He recognises that long-term goals are important but he always brings a productive and vibrant energy to every day. Whilst most people associate Simon with YouTube fame, he can struggle with his identity and the concept of who he is. What he does know is that he is proud of his journey, what he has achieved and what he puts into every single day. Simon advocates for learning from your own mistakes as failure looks different for every individual. It's essential to stay humble, particularly in fame and success, don't take it for granted and recognise where you are. Simon's success wasn't an accident, he was purposeful in what he was trying to do. With fame and success comes negativity, especially if your fame is online. Simon has struggled with hate and trolls in the past but had to develop his mindset to see these negative comments as positive. If someone is taking the time to comment or message then they are watching and they are engaging with you and your content. Simon struggled with school and bullying as a child and teen. He attributes his resilience and confidence to overcoming these years. The world of wrestling is truly unique, Simon describes it as a world for misfits and it is because of this he has an affinity with other wrestlers and fans in a way other industries wouldn't be able to comprehend or understand. BEST MOMENTS "I was very much a day-to-day guy. I really, really am a day-to-day guy."  "I just want to let you know, I really hope those guys smash it."  "I love it because it means, I think, again, he's going to be my, what do you call it, my example for this whole podcast by complete accident."  "I use it as fuel. I use it as fire. And I use it a way to stay passionate and to stay grounded and to stay focused on what I want to do now."  "Wrestling attracts I can't think of a better word other than misfit, a bunch of misfits. And I'm a misfit. I'm in it. I'm right in the middle." "Even now when people may say something to me that gets me a little bit [upset] it's probably coming from an internal.  It's probably coming from an internal place. It's probably nothing to do with you." HOST BIO Olympic medal-winning boxer, Anthony Ogogo, teetered on the brink of a world title before a career-ending eye injury left him mostly blind in one eye. Battling years of depression, he reinvented himself as a professional wrestler with All Elite Wrestling in America. Anthony holds an impressive record of 10 British boxing titles, in addition to being the junior world and junior Olympic champion. Beyond sports, he's a renowned international motivational speaker, gracing prestigious venues like Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Anthony's entrepreneurial spirit led him to create Ogogo Fitness, a fitness app. Now, as a podcast host, he shares his incredible journey and the wisdom he's gleaned from life's trials. Join him in exploring the resilience that has defined his life, and the inspirational stories of others who have risen above challenges to find success and happiness. Instagram - @anthonyogogo
