Listen "Success, Sacrifice, and the Joy of Missing Out"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, James Maslow and I sit down with Olympic gold medalist LaShawn Merritt to talk about the mindset and resilience that took him to the top of his sport. LaShawn shares how he navigated the transition from elite competition, the struggle of finding new purpose, and the lessons that still drive him today. We break down the power of JOMO—the joy of missing out—shifting focus from short-term temptations to long-term success. James reflects on his own career evolution, the value of surrounding yourself with the right people, and how embracing change has fueled his growth in entertainment and business.
