Jonathan Horton Discusses His Olympic Journey And His Book "Falling Forward: How An Ordinary Kid Failed His Way To His Olympic Dream"

Jonathan Horton was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He is a two-time Olympic medalist and competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics in gymnastics. He is also the author of his new book "Falling Forward: How An Ordinary Kid Failed His Way To His Olympic Dream". We talked about how he got his start in gymnastics, and his rollercoaster ride of successes and failures on the way to qualifying for the Olympics. We also discussed the power of intention, why people don't pursue their dreams, what it was like doing his silver medal winning performance, and how his life changed after the Olympics. In addition, we discussed overcoming disappointment, channeling his competitive energy by competing in American Ninja Warrior, and the audition process for that competition. Finally, we discussed his new career as a motivational speaker, and the value of having an agent to help him fill his schedule. We talked about so much more during the show.
