Tim Storey: Turning Setbacks Into Comebacks and Achieving Unstoppable Success | E105

So that's one way. And the other thing is that a lot of people think that, oh, I need to get to know that person. That person is doing what I like to do. What would it take? I need to get to that person. I don't think that way. I think I may want that person's ideas so I might read their book. I may want to know more about them so I may read articles about them or I may watch a documentary.

So there's heroes of mine and people that I respect like a Malcolm Gladwell that I've still never met. In fact, I was at a meeting not so long ago and some people said, hey, Jeff Bezos and Malcolm Gladwell are in the back. Come on, I want to introduce you to him. I said, I'm good because that's not really what I need to do.

So congratulations to Jeff Bezos, what he's done, and Malcolm Gladwell, but that's not what I needed to do. I'm building my spot and cultivating my land and believing that doing that, that people would start looking for me, and they did.

I think, again, it's the opposite of what most people would think. And that is because there was no expectations of an end result. So the end result did not look like I will live in Beverly Hills. The end result did not look like I will have an office on Cannon Drive.

The end result did not look like I would speak to up to 85,000 people at a time and be interviewed by Oprah a lot and be in her books and documentaries. There was no end result. It was... Build your spot and life will put the spotlight on your spot.

So just as much as I enjoy being on the NBC Today show, I love to go into prisons and I'm involved in prison reform and try to educate people to get up and out. I still work in the rehab business, real big. I go into rehab centers for free and volunteer my time to speak to people, to try to help them turn their step back to come back.

2008, with the housing crisis and everything that went on, I obviously see the challenge. I'm realistic about the challenge. I'm realistic about the economy in America. I'm very realistic about division in America. You know, many of my friends who are politicians have wanted me to get into politics and starting when I was probably 27 years of age. I spoke to the US Congress at 28 years of age.

That is a way I could have gone. So I'm very aware of the challenges that we face. But the way I look at it is that life is seasonal. There are winter, springs, summer, and falls. And so if we are in a winter season, I want to know what should I learn from this winter season? How can I grow? How can I get better? How can I be more prepared for the other seasons?

So even though I'm doing well in my jobs, plural, we all have our own challenges. It might be my mother aging. She's 94 now. Or it might be another situation in my life. So that's how I see life. I'm not looking just for a life of summer so I don't get let down on rainy days.

The miracle mentality I started studying about 30 years ago. So a mentality, as you know, is a mindset. It is a perspective. And a miracle is something that's just very simple. Extraordinary. uncommon. And little kids have a miracle mentality.
