Rob Fraser: The Power of Focus

For 10 years, I woke up with a very clear idea of what I wanted to do with my life and where it was gonna go. And I loved that. I woke up every day with a fire in my belly saying, This is the goal. Here's how I'm gonna get it, and here's what I'm gonna do. And then almost seemingly overnight when I walk away from the sport. That's gone. Your identity's gone. You know, like the day before I retire, it's hi, I'm Rob Fraser, professional psychologists, it was everything. The next day that's gone. And over the next year that fades away because you're no longer on the scene. And the friends, they're still friends, but you don't see them and the common interest starts to fade. And you know, that kinda led to this dark period for me where I was like What am I gonna do with my life? Welcome to the Knowledge Project. I'm your host, Shane Parrish.
