Last week on  The School of Greatness I posted an awesome interview with legendary surfer Laird Hamilton. I loved everything I learned from Laird (including the crazy breathing workout we did). But that was only half of the fun I had that day. After interviewing Laird, I got to interview his equally amazing wife Gabrielle Reece. Gabby is accomplished on so many levels, including being a world-class sand volleyball athlete, model, fitness trainer, author, wife, and mother. In talking with Gabby I really had the sense that she has it all. But she is the first to admit that it hasn't been given to her. She has worked incredibly hard for everything she has. We first talked about her volleyball career and how she paid her way through college by modeling. And then we got into her best relationship advice (she and Laird have been married 20 years and have 3 daughters). I LOVED what insight she had on the importance of empowering alpha males to stand in their power. We also discussed her views on the importance of knowing your own worth despite what anyone else thinks. I couldn't be happier to bring you a second incredible interview coming from the same visit in Episode 215 with Gabrielle Reece.
