A former professional wrestler in the UK and Europe turned down a WWE contract that demanded 300 days of travel per year. The performance skills and confidence he built in the ring helped him win an audition for The Apprentice and later succeed in business, where he could command rooms and speak to large audiences.

Chapters

So I was in the pro wrestling circuit across the UK and Europe for about, probably in total, just over 10 years during my studies, all the way through my earlier recruitment career. And when I got The Apprentice audition, I had already had options to try out for what is now the WWE, the World Wrestling Entertainment. If you got the gig back then, it was 300 days on the road throughout the world. I'd never have time for a life, a wife, and all those things. So I actually think it really, really helped me with the auditioning and getting on The Apprentice, and it's helped me in life. But that part of me that gave me a character and like a larger than life personality, I was able to use elements of being comfortable, rested in front of several thousand people, like in a pair of pants basically. So if you can do that, you can talk to a bunch of business experts on summit as far as I'm concerned.
