What drives extraordinary people?

 

That’s the one question that I’ve always been fascinated with.


  • What drives outstanding athletes, adventurers, artists and entertainers?
  • What drives exceptional scientists, great thinkers, those who give up their own comfort to help others, and those who dare to be different?
  • What drives people who were affected by tragedy, illness, disability and violence, but who manage to not only survive, but to thrive and to inspire?


What makes these people go further than most? What makes them push through the struggles and pain along the way? 

I’m Rob Konrad from Switzerland, and I always wished I had a chance to ask these fascinating people about their personal stories, and ask them all the big and small questions.


So that’s exactly what I decided to do, and over the last months, I’ve spent hundreds of hours talking to people who shape this world through their actions and their thoughts; or who inspire us by overcoming their obstacles or traumas.


They all have one thing in common: they are making an incredible impact on this world, and we all can learn and grow from their examples, to make an impact ourselves.


Because I believe that’s what we all share: deep inside, we all strive to make an impact on our lives and the lives around us. But what we often lack is the inspiration or encouragement to believe that we can create change, whether that’s in our private life or within our organization.


Now, you can meet these extraordinary people for yourself and be inspired – because every week I’m gonna share one of my conversations with you.


I ask the questions you wish you could ask – which are often very personal, sometimes difficult, sometimes provoking.


And you’ll hear about how they developed the courage and commitment to pursue their dreams or to help others. You’ll learn all about what got them to where they are today – their successes, but also their setbacks and challenges, completely unfiltered.


I believe this is an incredible opportunity for all of us – to learn, to grow and impact lives.


On May 1st, 2019 I’m officially going to launch “Rob Konrad: Conversations with extraordinary people”, there are dozens of episodes produced and waiting, and more are coming every week.


So make sure to subscribe on this page so I can inform you when I launch the first 10 episodes, and send you some exclusive content that won’t be published anywhere else.


I look forward for you to join me on this journey, and join the conversation – NOW!
