I am so happy to give you the first episode of my new interview series.
“20 Seconds of Insane Courage”
20 Seconds of insane courage is an exploration of moments that have the power to transform us and change the trajectory of our lives forever. In these moments we often feel compelled to act guided by inspiration, intuition and even neuroscience. These moments not only change our lives, but connect us to our power to alter our own destiny. They not only build confidence but build a greater connection to who we really are, and that is when we feel truly ALIVE. What I know is that it doesn’t take years, months, or even days to change your life. It takes seconds.
My first interview of the series is with professional snowboarder Jussi Oksanen.
Jussi was a professional snowboarder for 18 years. He has competed and medaled in X-Games, U.S Opens, and the Olympics and filmed numerous movies.
In 2008 Jussi co-founded Mizu, a stainless steel container company committed to reducing single-use plastic products. It is now a global brand with an extensive product line and a strong brand identity. Recently, Jussi has co-founded Diving Board, a company that helps adventure brands tell their story through photography and video.
In this interview we cover:
- How hesitating is the kiss of death (literally in some cases) in sports and in business
- How you can train your risk tolerance
- How 20 seconds of insane courage changed Jussi’s trajectory and saying no to a lucrative contract from Nokia set him on the perfect path
- How you can’t sustain a business you are not passionate about
- How to avoid overwhelm by chunking down tasks into a small and manageable lists one step at a time
- The importance of mentorship and advisors in your business
- How to build resilience to falling and failing
- How Jussi ensures he’s always striving and evolving personally
- How to create momentum so you don’t stagnate too long
