Life Drives Success | Episode 13: Bob Tewksbury
Nick Powills catches up with future-minded entrepreneurs to learn how they claimed their one inch of difference.
Life Drives Success is a podcast hosted by Nick Powills, author of "Sticks & Stones: Building Entrepreneurial Success from Life's Struggles."
The way Powills sees it? People are born entrepreneurial, it's not a trait. We all possess this internal drive, however, life works in such a way that not all of us get the chance to capitalize. For Powills, lemonade stands and baseball card sales were the early manifestations of that innate entrepreneurial spirit; it was the bullying he endured at an early age, however, that served as that first point of motivation to succeed.
As the CEO of content marketing agency No Limit Agency* and publisher of digital content hubs 1851 Franchise and ESTATENVY, Powills funnels his creative energy into telling the stories that move people. Life Drives Success is a vehicle to satiate curiosity, explore new ideas and connect with others in a way that generates motivation, getting to the heart of that entrepreneurial spirit that exists within us all.
On this week's episode of Life Drives Success, Nick interviews Bob Tewksbury, former professional baseball player and current Mental Skills Coordinator for the Chicago Cubs. The two discuss Bob's book, "Ninety Percent Mental: An All-Star Player Turned Mental Skills Coach Reveals the Hidden Game of Baseball," and how he was able to overcome a tumultuous upbringing to become an All-Star MLB pitcher.
