Meredith is a hot mess’s Reviews > Advanced Schutzhund > Status Update

You hear rescue people try to rehabilitate dogs in a matter of days, weeks, sometimes. Ivan didn't reveal all he did (the details) to help Tina, but that it took him an entire year, and this is one of the most talented dog trainers, is telling for how long it takes to make true progress

Back to dogs, Ivan released an update on Tina (a rescue Malinois he took in an *entire year ago*)

When he first got her: https://youtu.be/9B-gt0aEtYw?si=5SY_c...

It reminds me of a previous mentor I had, who though wealthy, was looking for people with drive, work ethic, and was willing to bring them up - give them a reference, as long as they demonstrated that drive, work ethic.

For me, I'm not going to be around motivational billionaires, but I want to be around people who have that kind of positive mindset

The thing with Leedor, is, he's surrounding himself around inspiring, positive billionaires

What I liked about him though is that he didn't so much focus on wealth (his goal is wealth and he works hard, so I'm not judging) and some of his best employees have been from the bottom who demonstrated to him they had the work ethic.

People partying in their 20s, every weekend?

There is someone else grinding, trying to achieve a goal.

I am grateful I got that experience as a young child competing, then in high school. Early experience of what it takes to achieve a goal.

I did watch all of Leedor's interview, and found it inspiring,

Especially his point about how important it is to surround oneself around positive people. You are who you surround yourself with, and you need to take responsibility for that.

Also his emphasis on passion/obsession. The word 'obsession' gets a bad wrap, but I know this from competition in sports. You want to win? It involves daily dedication.

I haven't watched all of Michael & Ivan's podcast. One commentator said the questions were stupid, and I agree. It's always best when people just let Michael talk.

Then I want to watch this later:

Leedor is different than Ivan & Michael in that he's advertising himself and doesn't give training advice. I still find him brilliant though, business-wise.
