20. How to Leverage Failure, Bringing Value to Others, and Visualizing for Your Future | Luke Konkel

Luke Konkel is an entrepreneur, growing leader, and business student at Concordia University Ann Arbor. He uses his past experience of being an athlete, to show others that there is more to life than just being an athlete. He is wise beyond his years and is looking to help young, like-minded, ambitious individuals find their path to where they want to be. Luke has been a great friend and resource to me since we met several months ago, and I continue to learn and grow from him both in conversation and on social media.

Luke believes that helping others and providing value to them is the single most important thing we can do in life. If gives us a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and genuinely makes the world a better place. I enjoyed talking with Luke about how to avoid a fixed mindset, and instead shift to a growth mindset where we break away from complacency and continuously visualize what we want our lives to look like. In particular, I loved talking with Luke about humility, purpose, and how community and connectivity are so important and can help us start to live the lives we have always dreamed of.

Tune in to hear Luke and I discuss everything from what would happen if either of us were to die today, to his lessons from being the personal escort to Bill Walton and Bruce Arians. Here are some more things we talk about:

Filling the void once your sporting career is over
Working at events such as the Super Bowl and the Final 4
Being Bill Walton’s personal escort
Bringing value and selflessly serving others
The battle against our own ego’s
Using social media to our advantage rather than letting it control us
Grow from failure, don’t beat yourself up and dwell on it
Realizing when something isn’t working and focusing attention elsewhere
Learning from books, podcasts, etc. and applying that knowledge to our daily lives
Humbling ourselves and learning from people that have what we want
Getting into a room with people smarter than you
