In this episode, Andy Andrews, Bob Beaudine, and Jimmy Yeary join the Driving Change podcast to celebrate its 100th episode. These three industry titans are three of the most influential men in Business, Sports, and Music in America today. They provided so much Wisdom we’ve dubbed this episode Sages On Stages and have had to break it into a part 1 and a part 2. In this part 1 episode, they discuss the most frequently passed-on advice they have received and share their insights on balancing personal and professional lives. Bob finishes this first part with a quick story of blessing and encouragement he received from Norman Vincent Peal when he was 28 years old.  

Takeaways

• Don’t believe everything you think; be open to new information and perspectives.
• Love what you do instead of just liking it; passion and obsession drive success.
• Don’t be overly concerned about other people’s opinions of you; focus on making the best decisions for yourself.
• Balance your high motor and drive for success with quality time and presence in your personal life.
• As a speaker, be relatable, authentic, and open to the guidance of the moment; connect with the audience and make the information relatable to their lives. Amateurs practice until they get it right, while professionals practice until they can’t get it wrong.

Matt Dentino Executive Producer - Driving Change Podcast

I come from a large Italian family. I’m number seven in the line of ten kids!

When my dad passed away some years ago, I was fortunate enough to be there as the end was coming. I was standing just to the right of his hospital bed; he was lying there with his eyes closed. All of a sudden, Dad opens his eyes. He looks up at the ceiling with a look of peace – and maybe accomplishment – on his face. Then he closes his eyes for the last time. I guess out of instinct, I reached down and kissed him on that prickly cheek one last time. My dad left a legacy in that life well lived! A legacy based on three main principles: Family, Service, and Dedication. I do what I do to carry on that legacy to the best of my ability.
