But even the 2,000+ hours he’s been in front of a television camera are just a tiny part of his story. He negotiated with his parents to drop out of high school to become a professional skateboarder at age 16. He’s broken 27 world records. He’s designed dozens of shoes for millions of dollars. He’s been a beauty pageant judge. And when he’s not hosting his own podcast (Build with Rob), he’s a regular listener of The Jordan Harbinger Show (his favorite episode is our two-parter with Ray Dalio, in case you were wondering, though we’ve also interviewed Rob’s cousin Chris Pfaff). Now, Rob is helping other entrepreneurs realize their potential with venture creation studio Dyrdek Machine, which aims to “systematically fuse art, science, and magic to create meaningful businesses that stand the test of time and impact the world.” On this episode, we talk about knowing our range when we take a shot at something extraordinary, honing clarity to operate optimally, positioning ourselves for maximum luck, and much more.
