What does “good enough” mean to you? If you’re reading this, you’re not the type to settle for mediocre the rest of your life. All you need to do is decide to stop settling and take some meaningful action toward your goals.
Bobby “Mr. Bright Side” Jones worked his way up from prison time and lacked opportunities to his current role as the president and CEO of Bright Side Roofing and Siding. Through his business, his nonprofit Handcuffs and Cufflinks, and his role as the host of the Xtra Mile Podcast, Bobby serves and motivates others to chase down their highest potential.
In this episode of ConvictEd Life, Zach and Travis get together with Bobby to dig into Bobby’s story and the things you can achieve when you push past your limiting beliefs, learning to turn your disadvantages into advantages and developing gratitude, plus how to recognize and communicate your value and partner with people who can add even more. Then, tune in for some crazy valuable insight from a guy who didn’t waste his second chance.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Bobby’s family got him motivated to get his priorities straight and start optimizing his time at work
- What changes about the way you carry yourself when you dress like the most successful version of you, and how Bobby turned that idea into a nonprofit organization
- Why patience will be the superpower that gets you your success, whether you’re still behind bars or out already
- And much more!
Favorite Quote:
" I'm super grateful because I have the opportunity all around me. And I think that we have to hold on to the fact that everything could be worse no matter what we're going through. And stop complaining and just move on, man, because optimism will power you through that. So gratitude, optimism, amen."
