In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Emily Richett sits down with Rod Smith, a two-time Super Bowl star turned bestselling author and serial entrepreneur, before he presented a keynote at the Entrepreneur’s Organization of West Michigan.
He shares powerful insights about his childhood growing up in the projects, to finding success on and off the field.
Growing up poor, he was surrounded by a lack of mentality in life. He says he was able to overcome it and it all boiled down to asking himself one question, over and over again.
Smith says, “I would ask myself, how did I get here? You’ll be amazed at what will happen to you when you ask the right questions.” He continues, “I took the word dreaming, and each one of those letters is a chapter [in my book]. You have to have something that gets you waking up without the alarm clock.”
