Episode 3: Interview w/ Dave Hollis

In this episode we talk about:

  • How being challenged caters to growth & fulfillment
  • Getting out of your comfort zone
  • The importance of who & what you surround yourself
  • Using the resources available to you to get where you want to be
  • Having a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset

About Dave:

Dave Hollis is husband to Rachel, father to Jackson, Sawyer, Ford and Noah and the CEO of the Hollis Company after a 17 year run at Disney left his role as President, Theatrical Distribution for The Walt Disney Studios.  Dave looks to take the experiences as global theatrical sales head for Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Lucas film to the expansion plans in the next, exciting phase of Hollis Company — focusing on media (books/podcasts/radio/tv), live events and merchandise. 

In today’s episode I got to sit and talk with Dave about his transition out of a long-term job with Disney and jumping into the unknown as the CEO of the Hollis Company. Dave opens up about the reasons behind his transition, the fears that he experienced & how they made it work for their family. He has had a huge role in advocating for women in business by helping them reach their highest potential and encouraging growth. When he got to a place where he knew he wasn’t using his full potential, and therefor was no longer GROWING, Dave knew it was time to tackle something challenging and in doing so, found total life fulfillment.

“Whatever the dream is, it’s yours, not mine. You don’t have to give any justification, because as long as you’re not asking anyone to give you approval, then you don’t need anyone to give you permission. In fact, when you understand that you don’t have to justify your dreams, to anyone else for any reason, that is the day you truly begin to step in to who you were meant to be.” - Rachel Hollis - Girl, Stop Apologizing

PUMP UP SONG:

  • Apeshit by The Carters

Quotes:

“Your comfort zone, that’s not where growth happens. Growth happens OUTSIDE of your comfort zone.”

“We thought we had a strong marriage, but when you are clutching each other in the bottom of a ravine, that’s when you see how strong you can be.”

“You’re either growing or dying. You cannot just maintain a status quo. You are literally, as a being, either growing or dying.”

“You cannot grow if you are not being challenged with new things. And if you are not growing because of those challenges, you cannot be fulfilled.”

“Mediocre people will always pull achievers back to mediocre.”

“She kept doing it, because she didn’t need my permission to become a better version of herself.”
