How many great business leaders – in the entire world – can you name who have done any of the following:

A) Helped pilot a rocket into space; B) Built a hot air balloon that could ascend 38,000 feet; C) Jumped off that hot air balloon at maximum height; D) Won highly competitive, off-road car races; or E) Explored the deepest depths of the ocean floor?

Today's guest – Larry Connor – has done all of the above...not to mention his day job building one of the most successful real estate companies in the United States.

What's his secret? A breakthrough mindset. He doesn't set artificial limits on what others think is possible. Instead, he asks a simple question, "why not?" More often than not, he succeeds. And when he fails, he learns from those setbacks and applies the wisdom to his next venture.
