In this episode, you’ll learn how to stop doubting yourself and get anything you want in life. Mel is thrilled to introduce you to her incredible guest today – someone she’s admired and followed for years, and who is here today for YOU. Benny Blanco is one of the most successful and sought-after music producers and songwriters in the world and one of the defining hitmakers of the 21st century. Benny is a 12-time Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer with 29 #1 hits and 19 songs that have over a billion streams on Spotify. But, Benny didn’t start his impressive career with everything figured out. He didn’t grow up with money, some magical level of confidence, or everything figured out. He built his career by showing up, failing, getting rejected, trying again, and learning through experience. Today, Benny reveals what most people never see: the rejection, the fear, the self-doubt, and the countless moments when everything could have fallen apart. And he will show you the life-changing tools and strategies that have helped him push through nonstop rejection and setbacks. Benny has also written a fantastic brand-new book called “F*ck Failure” – which happens to be exactly the message he’s here to share with you today: Every single failure is leading you somewhere, even if you can’t see it right now. Your life can look entirely different a year from now. If you want the dream job, true love, unshakeable confidence, better friendships, or more happiness, Benny wants you to know there’s one rule: Keep showing up. In this episode, you’ll learn: -The simple mindset shift Benny uses to erase failure and keep moving -Why you’re only one small move away from changing your life for the better -Why waiting to feel ready is a losing game -The wild story behind a #1 hit that almost never happened, and why it proves you can’t give up -How to stop letting self-doubt make your decisions -How to keep showing up when you’re exhausted, embarrassed, or convinced you have no idea what you’re doing -How to face the fears you’ve been avoiding for years -How a list Benny made before he started dating his wife, Selena Gomez, can help you stop settling in your own life This conversation will make you rethink every failure, every rejection, and every excuse you have been using to stay stuck. As Benny will show you, failure doesn’t have to break you. It’s the very thing that can make you unstoppable. If he can turn his failures into hits, you can turn yours into the life you’ve been wanting to live. For more resources related to today’s episode, click here for the podcast episode page.
