Martin Jacobson on Poker, Nootropics and CILTEP
2014 World Series of Poker Champion Martin Jacobson is quiet, humble, and unassuming. Don't let that fool you as you listen to this podcast - he embodies all that we come to expect from our Champions!
Martin battled, hustled, and sacrificed for 7 years before bursting into stardom with his $10 Million victory on ESPN last November. In this conversation, we explore something Martin admits to not having discussed before - the behind-the-scenes road to becoming a World Champion and how he's focused to STAY on top.
Here's what stands out to me: pay attention to how a Champion overcomes obstacles, trusts his abilities, and moves forward - even if the path doesn't seem obvious.
Martin's answers and path highlight what happens when we don't quit, trust ourselves, study our craft, strategize, remain positive, continue to learn and seek ways to be more and simply be better.
These are the traits of a Champion.
Listen closely to Martin and see if you can pick up on these traits in action...
