这期播客节目对Jesse Itzler进行了一次深入的对话，他是一位连续创业者、NBA亚特兰大老鹰队共同所有人、畅销书作家、主题演讲者，曾是一名说唱歌手。主持人Robert Leonard深入探讨了Itzler非传统的经历和独特的人生哲学，为听众，特别是千禧一代，提供了宝贵的经验教训。
Itzler的创业之路多元而丰富，始于90年代作为一名签约说唱歌手，随后将他的广告歌公司卖给了SFX。他共同创立了Marquee Jets，并将其卖给了沃伦·巴菲特的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司；他也是Zico椰子水的合伙人，该公司后来被可口可乐收购。通过这些经历，他强调了几个关键的经验教训：
1. **成功需要时间：** 与普遍看法相反，成功很少一蹴而就。他回忆说，可口可乐总裁曾预测Zico品牌需要八年才能建立起来，这一预测最终被证实是准确的。
2. **对过程充满热情：** Itzler强调，真正的热情不仅仅是对产品或服务，更是对整个创业过程——包括好的一面、坏的一面、各种挣扎以及无数个不眠之夜——都充满热爱。
3. **主动创造运气：** 尽管运气确实很重要，但关键在于积极地将自己置于运气可能降临的位置。
4. **绝妙的创意和讲述能力：** 拥有一个引人入胜的创意，并能有效地讲述它的故事，是成功的关键。
他还从妻子Sara Blakely那里汲取灵感，她是Spanx的创始人，建立了一家市值数十亿美元的公司。Itzler指出她“巨大的热情”、对为客户提供价值的执着，以及真实可信的讲述方式。他强调了她为成功所做的准备，突出了在机会来临时“24/7随时准备好推销”的重要性。
Itzler生活中一个重要的主题是“建立你的人生履历，而非传统的简历”。他相信投资那些让他感到充满活力、并有助于他作为父亲、商人以及个人成长的经历。这种哲学促使他曾与一名海军海豹突击队员同住，后来又与僧侣共同生活，并将这些经历记录在了畅销书中。他形容自己的日常生活常常感觉“一天抵得上五十天”，充满各种活动和目标。他的公司29029 Everesting就是例证，参与者攀登的高度相当于珠穆朗玛峰，从而建立了牢不可破的联系，并带着征服世界的成就感离开。
Itzler最深刻、最有影响力的哲学围绕着他与“时间的关系”。他始终对自己的生命有限性（美国人平均寿命为78岁）保持敏锐的认识，这让他产生了紧迫感。这种紧迫感使他的注意力从分钟、小时或天转移到“**时刻**”上。他不断鼓励人们去“标记那些我们铭记的时刻”，无论是独特旅行、富有挑战的比赛，还是头脑风暴会议。他用一个深刻的例子来说明这一点：如果他年近90岁的父母再活五年，而他每年见他们两次，那么他拥有的不是五年，而是“10次探望”。他挑战主持人Robert回忆过去五年中的重要时刻，指出如果不对这些“时刻”进行有意识的记录，时间就会轻易流逝。
为了管理他繁忙的日程并确保生活平衡，Itzler强调了周密的计划。他的一天从前一晚就开始了，每一分钟都有安排，包括工作、家庭时间，以及至关重要的“三个小时留给自己”。这些个人时间，无论是用于爱好、锻炼还是安静的思考，都是不容协商的。他解释说，为自己留出这段时间可以避免产生怨恨，并使他在与家人相处或工作时能够全心投入、专注当下。他指出，这种自律从他21岁起就从未动摇。
当被问及给千禧一代的一个建议时，Itzler毫不含糊地表示：“不要浪费它。”他警告不要活出“80%的自己”，并强调生命中没有“重来一次”的机会。他鼓励人们充分利用年轻时的“机会之窗”，无论是为了财务目标，还是积累丰富的经验和回忆。他最后提到一项针对非常成功人士的调查，他们最大的遗憾是对家庭和自身的牺牲，这进一步强调了平衡抱负与充实生活和完整体验的重要性。Jesse Itzler的信息是一个强有力的呼吁，倡导有意识地生活，珍惜每一个时刻，并积极构建一份丰富的人生履历。
This podcast episode features an insightful conversation with Jesse Itzler, a serial entrepreneur, co-owner of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and former rapper. The host, Robert Leonard, delves into Itzler's unconventional journey and unique life philosophies, offering valuable lessons for listeners, particularly millennials.
Itzler's entrepreneurial path is diverse, starting as a signed rapper in the 90s, then selling his jingle company to SFX. He co-founded Marquee Jets, which he sold to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, and was a partner in Zico Coconut Water, later sold to Coca-Cola. Through these experiences, he emphasizes several key lessons:
1. **Things take time:** Contrary to popular belief, success rarely happens overnight. He recalls the president of Coca-Cola predicting it would take eight years to build the Zico brand, a prediction that proved accurate.
2. **Passion for the journey:** Itzler stresses that true passion isn't just for the product or service, but for the entire entrepreneurial journey—the good, the bad, the struggles, and the late nights.
3. **Create your own luck:** While luck plays a role, actively putting yourself in positions where luck can find you is crucial.
4. **Great idea and storytelling:** Having a compelling idea and being able to effectively tell its story are essential for success.
He also draws inspiration from his wife, Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, who built a billion-dollar company. Itzler notes her "tremendous passion," obsession with providing value to customers, and authentic storytelling. He highlights her preparedness for success, underscoring the importance of being "pitch ready 24/7" when opportunity strikes.
A significant theme in Itzler's life is "building your life resume, not your traditional resume." He believes in investing in experiences that make him feel alive and contribute to his growth as a father, businessman, and individual. This philosophy led him to live with a Navy SEAL and later with monks, experiences he documented in best-selling books. He describes his daily life as often feeling like "50 days in one," packed with activities and purpose. His company, 29029 Everesting, exemplifies this, where participants climb the equivalent height of Mount Everest, forging unbreakable bonds and leaving with a sense of conquering the world.
Itzler's most profound and impactful philosophy revolves around his "relationship with time." He maintains a keen awareness of his mortality (the average American lives to 78), which instills a sense of urgency. This urgency shifts his focus from minutes, hours, or days to *moments*. He constantly encourages marking moments, whether it's a unique trip, a challenging race, or a brainstorming session, as "moments that we remember." He illustrates this with a poignant example: if his nearly 90-year-old parents live five more years and he sees them twice a year, he doesn't have five years, but "10 visits." He challenges the host, Robert, to recall significant moments from the past five years, pointing out how easily time slips by without conscious effort to record these "moments."
To manage his packed schedule and ensure a balanced life, Itzler emphasizes meticulous planning. His day starts the night before, with every minute scheduled, including work, family time, and crucially, "three hours for myself." These personal hours, whether for hobbies, exercise, or quiet reflection, are non-negotiable. He explains that taking this time for himself prevents resentment and allows him to be fully present and engaged when he is with his family or at work. This discipline, he notes, has been unwavering since he was 21.
When asked for one piece of advice for millennials, Itzler unequivocally states: "Don't waste it." He warns against living an "80% version" of oneself, stressing that there are no "do-overs" in life. He encourages maximizing the "window of opportunity" in youth, whether it's for financial goals or accumulating rich experiences and memories. He concludes by referencing a poll of ultra-successful individuals whose biggest regret was the sacrifice they made to their family and themselves, reinforcing the importance of balancing ambition with a life well-lived and fully experienced. Jesse Itzler's message is a powerful call to live with intention, cherish moments, and actively build a rich "life resume."
