The Hard Lessons Behind Success: Leadership, Mentorship & Legacy | Myron Mullins

You know, from age 22 to 36, I never worked less than 100 hours in a week.

And I would not recommend that for anyone.

My priorities were wrong.

But I did know this.

If nothing else, I could outwork you.

Yeah.

You probably could outsmart me, but I could outwork you.

Well, a lot of that in the previous conversation, you mentioned having no regrets.

To me, that sounds like a regret, like you didn't want to, you look back on it.

To me, I heard, well, there's an old saying that I always say that the process is failure leads to experience, experience leads to wisdom.

And that's almost like seasons in life.

I always talk about on this podcast, your 20s to your 40s, anybody who's listening, probably the most stressful portion of your life.

It's the summer of your life, if you

will.

And the reason being is because you've got all the pressure of building a life, finding a spouse, having kids, figuring yourself out.

And what I try to echo to people is, especially in that stage of life, it's okay.

It's okay to feel the pressure, to feel like that's supposed to happen.

Nothing's out of the ordinary.

If you don't feel like you're in your element or on your right path at 25, 26, it's all right.

You'll still figure it out.

Because what happens is around age 40, 37 to 43, people have a massive pivot.

Mm-hmm.

a massive pivot because they realized like what you said, this is not what you would, you would pre set on the podcast.

I don't, I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Yeah.
