Between Friends Interview with Ruben Gonzalez

What could you learn about goal-setting, leadership, focus, self-motivation, and commitment to your goals from an Olympic athlete?

This candid conversation is with Ruben Gonzalez,  First,  as you may know, years ago, one of my clients was Ruben Gonzalez, 3-Time Olympic Champion and now the ONLY athlete in the world to compete in 4 Olympics over 4 decades.  Very cool.  Anyways, Ruben has an interesting story as he was called “the unlikely athlete”.  Really he had almost non-existent sports background but his dream was to be in the Olympics.  In fact he KNEW he would be in the Olympics – so he went to the library – tried to figure out what sport he could do – and then followed his dream, one little step at a time.

During the 2010 Olympics here in  my home city & country, Vancouver, BC, Ruben and I went out for dinner, plus he slotted me in to interview him for 30 mins before the NBC TV and right after the NY Times.  I laughed at that.  In fact he kept NBC waiting for an extra 5 minutes while he chatted with me.  I LOVE it!

Anyways, he did this call just for ME and just for YOU!  Listen to it TODAY and pass it onto your kids & friends and family – EVERYONE needs to hear this call!

Ruben has the unique ability to inspire confidence, courage, and hope in people…to translate racing downhill, into Olympic caliber results. He’ll have you screaming down the hill at 90 MPH, taking a turn wrong,  breaking bones, and still finding the way to get back up and do it again! Ruben's funny, direct and on target. He doesn't pull any punches. He tells it like it is. He's on a mission to inspire and equip people to think differently, to take immediate action, and to produce better results.
