Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. We have a tremendous conversation for you today with Anne-Marie Anderson, 35-year veteran of ESPN, on-air personality, now has a best-selling book, Captivating Audacity. And what I love about Anne-Marie is her approach to breaking through the barriers that keep us from getting to where we want to go. So many people talk about the glass ceiling or, you know, kind of, outsourcing the reasons that we are not able to get where we want to go. Amory repositions it as the sticky floor, allowing ourselves to remain attached to the base nature of what we do. This is an incredible conversation. She has amazing stories, sports personality, just dynamic, been all over the world.
You are going to love this conversation. And I promise you, if you are struggling to break through to the success that you have on your brain, that you dream about, this is going to be a conversation that will give you the tools that you need to get there. Before we talk to Anne-Marie, I just want to say, as always, thank you for being here, guys. It means so much to me that you spend your time. I know there's so many shows out there, so many things that could take your attention. And the fact that you choose to be part of this community, listen to this show, means the world to me. And I hope that you feel the energy, passion, commitment to give it back to you and to continue to bring on amazing guests, as well as doing the individual solo shows that I drop once a week.
that dive into specific topics related to business, personal development, that help you grow, and make all your wildest dreams come true. Because if we're not going after all our wildest dreams, then what the hell are we doing, right? If you do enjoy this show, I would love for you to subscribe wherever you listen or watch. If you're on YouTube, like the show. tell a friend. And if you have thoughts, comments, if you just want to give a fist pound to Anne-Marie for being on here and appreciate her time, YouTube is ultimately the place that I collect all your feedback. I reply to all the comments and I use it as an indication of what topics we should be addressing and what future guests we should bring onto the show to put in front of you. I love you for being here.
I know you're going to enjoy this conversation. Let's get on to Anne-Marie Anderson.
In a crude laboratory in the basement of his home.
Amory, it's great to have you on the show. Thanks so much for taking the time to come on today.
Yeah, I've been looking forward to this, Brian.
Yeah, yeah. I love shows where I completely fumble the ball and, you know, we start as a complete mess because I feel like it adds a whole dynamic and energy to getting into it. But it's just, you know, I'm reading the book, Cultivating Audacity, and I look at the way that you approach topics and in the way that you look through topics you know, the filter that you're putting your thoughts through. And I'm very interested how... like how did coming into an organization like ESPN, you know, being on camera and starting at such starting that career at such a young age, like how much have you changed or your mental change or your mindset matured from say those early days when you first get in the door and it's probably bright lights and so much, so everything's so exciting. I mean, ESPN is a very exciting organization.
And then having a 35 year career that that's continuing the ESPN and coming through all that, like, like, What has that evolution been for you? And when you look back, maybe what's the what's one of the big things that you see different about you today as it was when you first started out?
I mean, this fits right in. I'm far more audacious, right? I'm far more willing to take bold risks now than I was then. You mentioned I started ESPN at 21 years old. Now, I'm a former collegiate athlete and a lot of people who work at ESPN are either, you know, were athletes or involved in athletics in some way. And I think the thing that I remember the most from hitting the floor at 21 was how competitive everything was. Like every day was competitive because it's hard to stand out at a company like ESPN. So forcing yourself to come up with story ideas and different angles. I was shy, Ryan, by nature. I wouldn't call myself shy now, but that's kind of been a new revelation.
