NHL Star Turned Entrepreneur: The Rule That Built Two Careers | EP102 (feat. Brooks Laich)

What separates the people who dream from the people who do?This week, Shawn sits down with former NHL star and co-founder of World Playground, Brooks Laich, for a conversation about The Art of the Start and why success often belongs to the people willing to begin before they feel ready.Brooks shares the pivotal decision he made at 13 years old that changed the trajectory of his life and eventually led him to the NHL. Along the way, he and Shawn explore the power of pairing curiosity with conviction, why sometimes you have to "burn the boats" and fully commit, and how the people who achieve the most aren't always the most talented, they're often the best at getting better.They also discuss why struggle is unavoidable, why reps beat raw talent, and why champions don't practice until they get it right, they practice until they can't get it wrong.And somewhere in this conversation, Brooks perfectly explains why Shawn started this podcast in the first place.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
