The Soap Box with Austin Malleolo Austin Malleolo

I dive into the last ten years at Reebok and what I learned, the experiences, the people and the brand and how it has led to where I am going now and my next steps! 

In this one I dive into a ramble on throughput and how ideas are great, but HOW do you plan on putting them into play and how that might change over time. Goals are great, but just having a clear direction might be more important than a SUPER specific end state - as that end state is more of a horizon that you might never reach - but keep pushing toward. 

I go deep in on this one on how important it is to let yourself swing from one end of the pendulum to the other. From how we feel, to the pain we feel in workouts. A life session that has been a guiding tenet for me for nearly half my life and I talk about where I learned it and its origins!

I break down my top "Learnings" from 2020.

1. Awareness

2. Action

3. Trust, but always question

4. Work ethic, priorities & communication

5. Different is NOT the opposite of the same

Challenge, be true to who you are and be empathetic

In this episode I dive into how proper nutritional principles and basic finance principles on saving and preparing for life ahead are the same. It does not make it easy in application, but it does make it easy in principle, therefore allowing us to focus on DOING and nothing else. As it is know that "Doers" will do and "Takers" will take, who are you?

In this episode I get passionate about how we can overvalue ourselves, and not really take a deep look at what skills we have and how that differs from our ability to work hard and have a good work ethic. It can be intoxicating to let your ability to work hard, or that you have been successful in one area, lead you to believe that you have the ability to do this anywhere...Knowing what you do not now is one of the most powerful skills a person can have...
