Gabby Reece is known for her successful professional volleyball career but the 6’ 3” powerhouse wears many hats as a model, fitness leader, TV host and mom as well. We talk through several key times when Gabby has applied her unique Why Not Now? decision-making process, which is quite formulaic. How she navigates through the decision to give up a for sure thing for an unknown has elevated her success on many occasions. She also talks about making co-decisions with her pro surfer husband, Laird Hamilton.

Notes:

• Gabby shares a variety of Why Not Now? moments ranging from her college years up to last year.
• When making key decisions, Gabby breaks the situation down to several buckets like time, money and impact on relationships.
• How Gabby has used her voice via social media and the traditional media follows suit by reporting on her content.
• The various sides of humility, from no better than to no less than.
• How Gabby changes her vernacular in order to keep her mind healthy.
• Gabby describes how there’s a subconscious and conscious side of her “Why”. Why she does what she does.
• A Why Not Now? that Gabby is currently pursuing.
• All-time favorite book.
• What keeps her up at night?
• What advice Gabby would share with her younger self.

• Adam shares how his What Now? moment turned into a Why Not Now? moment
• The idea of success and generosity coexisting vs. waiting to "give back" until you've reached a certain level of wealth or success.
• The process Adam went through to determine if his future included springboard diving.
• Adam explains the difference between Givers, Takers and Matchers and how they impact our online environment.
• Unlocking Vuja de moments which can lead to big ideas (like Uber)
• Adam's new Why Not Now? (This is one of my favorites so far.)
