SHOW SUMMARY

In this inspiring Selling from the Heart Podcast episode, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by performance coach and former BMX athlete Josh Perry for a compelling conversation on authentic leadership and overcoming life-altering adversity.

Josh shares his powerful story of surviving multiple brain tumors and how these experiences fundamentally shaped his views on resilience, mindset, and human capacity. This discussion delivers high-value lessons for sales professionals, emphasizing:

• The profound power of choice in the face of setbacks.
• The revolutionary concept of "dissolving" instead of "solving" problems.
• The crucial role of inner narratives and energy in successful sales interactions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The Power of Choice: Adversity is an inevitable part of life and sales, but your response and perception of it is always a choice.
• Define Your Setbacks: The meaning you assign to any failure or setback fundamentally shapes your experience, growth, and future actions.
• Inner Work Drives Success: Authentic sales success requires a commitment to self-awareness and the inner work of reflecting on your thoughts, feelings, and motivations.
• Dissolve the Illusion: Begin dissolving problems by questioning the deep-seated stories and limiting beliefs you hold about the situation.
• Energy and Intent: The energy, focus, and intention behind your sales actions matter as much as the actions themselves.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

We have choice in thought, we have choice in perception, we have choice in perspective.

Can you choose to be defined by your vision rather than your circumstances, despite the pain?

The meaning we apply to things can last a lifetime if we're not aware of it.

Dissolving problems is really the illusion that something shouldn't be the way it is.
