Tales of Overcoming the Odds, and How to Turn Losses Into Wins — Tim McGraw, Terry Crews, Dax Shepard, and More
This is a special episode about overcoming mistakes and failure. What do you do when your work is rejected, when the big bet fails, or when the path ahead suddenly disappears? As you’ll hear in this episode, setbacks can often present opportunities if you know how to look for them.
In this episode:
BJ Miller, a triple amputee, on his years-long quest to ride a motorcycle.
Terry Crews on missing a season-ending shot—and the mindset shift that stayed with him for life.
Tim McGraw on his debut album flopping and betting his career on next steps.
Jessica Lahey on being told her first book was “unpublishable” and turning brutal feedback into a New York Times bestseller.
Dax Shepard on the collapse of an identity and career he thought he wanted—and the unexpected much better life it made possible.
Cathy Lanier on becoming a teenage single mother, passing her GED by a single point, and beginning an unlikely climb.
Janna Levin on the liberating realization that life is not a smooth path interrupted by obstacles—life is the obstacles.
Boyd Varty on using the mindset of a lion tracker to move through uncertainty and the paralysis of not knowing what comes next.
Please enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by Incogni: erase your personal data from the web and prevent scams, fraud, and identity theft! Anyone can find you online in about a minute. Search for yourself on a people-search site, and you’ll probably see your address, phone number, and relatives there for the taking. Scary stuff. That’s the problem Incogni is designed to solve. Incogni removes your personal info from the web. It automatically contacts the sites and companies that collect and sell your personal details and submits removal requests on your behalf, then keeps re-checking, since those sites tend to sneakily re-post your info over time. On the Unlimited plan, you can also flag specific sites the automated sweep might miss. This isn’t just a case of taking the company’s word for it. Deloitte independently reviewed Incogni’s practices, including the number of sites it covers, its ongoing removal requests, and its policy of not selling your information. Incogni was the first service in its category to undergo this type of third-party assurance review. Protect yourself now with Incogni. Go to Incogni.com/Tim to get 60% off their annual plan.
