What does "Success" mean to you?
Success for the Underdog is an interview-based podcast. “Success” means something different for everyone. Each episode I invite a different guest with a success story to tell. Our guests’ stories of achievement are powerful because they had to overcome adversity or hardship -- however big or small. Subsequently, it was those very challenges that helped pave the path to where they are today.
Unique stories - unique solutions.
Every guest will have a different story to share, with different circumstances. The circumstances will likely differ in race, background, occupation, religion, and/or upbringing. The one commonality and prerequisite to be on the show is that at some point, for however long or short, at a certain time in this individual’s life, they felt held back by unavoidable circumstances. Obviously, life is hard, and people have to work hard to succeed, but some people just have to work harder than others, and that’s the reality. On Success for the Underdog, we will hear those stories - stories from the underdogs who won at the end.
Don't be afraid to be an Underdog.
Harvard did a study about the “Underdog Mentality.” Many people hear the term “underdog” and consider it a sign of weakness. However, studies have shown the opposite. People have proved to thrive on the “underdog mentality” - mostly because it provides this “nothing to lose” attitude about achieving goals and success. The definition of “underdog” from Merriam Webster is: “a loser, or predicted loser, in a struggle or contest.” The point of this podcast is to toss this negative mindset about being the underdog. Being the underdog is powerful. It's motivational.
