Why Most Self-Help Doesn’t Work and What...

The Resilient Mind
About this episode

Watch the full video interview on the new Resilient Mind YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/TL_WVb7iQ9U


What if the popular mantra "fail to succeed" is wrong? What if success isn't a number, but a feeling of total freedom and independence?


In this episode, we're joined by Trevor Blake, a physicist and serial entrepreneur who has built and sold five companies for over $600 million. Trevor challenges the conventional wisdom about success, including the teachings of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," and offers a new paradigm based on science, mindset, and a profound life lesson from his mother.


Growing up poor, Trevor's perspective was forever shaped when his mother was given six months to live and defied her prognosis for over a decade, teaching him the ultimate lesson in resilience. He shares how this spirit of "never giving up" combined with a scientific approach of "figure it out, do it" has allowed him to build seven successful companies without a single failure.


Join us to learn how to redefine success, find independence before the money follows, and build a life of true freedom and balance.
