Today I meet with American professional volleyball player, sports announcer, fashion model and actress, Gabby Reece, and we talk about her career and the life lessons she has learned throughout her career. Gabby tells about her upbringing and the opportunities that came to her having the height and athleticism that she did, and then we go into how things have translated into parenting. “Success is when your external life reflects who you are internally” Arnold Schwarzenegger, 17:17. We discuss where younger people are at these days with their values and the different approaches we of an older generation might have compared to those of the modern generation. Gabby tells me about her diet and what she believes has helped her in success, and then we discuss having a dream, which goes together with developing a skill.

“I’m Gabby and one of the things I have done is I was a volleyball player. I’m not a volleyball player, right? And I think it’s important for all people to be like, ‘Oh I used to run that company and now I do this.’ And I tell athletes that all the time, I say, ‘Listen, you’re a loaded gun. What’s your next target?’” 33:24
