    020: Staying Persistent and Consistent with Ross Gaudet

    020: Staying Persistent and Consistent with Ross Gaudet

    Isn't it a kick to the gut when you find yourself at the bottom of the depth chart? This doesn't only happen in sports, but also in the professional world. Whether it is your first job out of college, a change in companies or a career change - there will be many times that we all will find ourselves at the bottom needing to work our way to the top. It is a mental challenge, but one we can accomplish with persistence and staying consistent. 

    Today we talk to my good friend, Ross Gaudet. Ross's story is based on his ability to stick with the process in order to see the reward at the other end.  He got this experience when he worked his way from a walk on to a staple in the line up at Boston University. Then was able to leverage the lessons learned into the professional world by building a network that helped him get started in software sales and then eventually meeting with hundreds of brokers before getting his shot in the commercial real estate world. 

    If you take one thing away from this show, it is to keep moving forward. No matter what the odds are, if you continue to show up every day and execute to the best of your ability - the reward will be there.

    Episode 19: Ways to find success as a college athlete while preparing for the future with Mike Gilroy

    College athletes have the difficult task of balancing life as an athlete, a student and a kid in college. Ever wonder what type of mindset it takes to be successful in both? 

    Today's guest is my brother, Mike Gilroy, and he shares how he manages a full course load, social life and staying on top of his game on the ice. Being a collegiate hockey player can overwhelm the other areas if you let it. Mike has developed the proper mindset through high school and has been able to stay focused on enjoying life as a college athlete, but keeping his eye on the bigger picture as to why he is at college: to get a degree. 

    Enjoy!
