In this one, Cody talks with motivational speaker and celebrity interviewer Preston Pollard. Preston grew up skateboarding in Anchorage, Alaska, and aided by the unwavering optimism he learned from family and loved ones, he pursued it in the same way he pursues everything in his life—with curiosity and passion. Talk to him and he’ll tell you that he’s not great at a lot of things—including skateboarding—but the one thing he is really great at is being himself. He’s tenacious, optimistic and devout. And he has a talent for connecting with people and motivating them to be better. He says that everything he’s doing right now, he envisioned it. He thought about where he wanted to be, prayed about it and doggedly pursued it. And in that pursuit, his dreams became a reality. He says that, “Once you stay true to who you are… everything starts to open up.” Preston is on a lifelong journey of inspiration, knowledge and understanding. He reads constantly. In fact, among the many people he considers to be his mentors are both living and deceased authors, entrepreneurs and faith leaders. To understand his motivation and faith, all you have to do is look on his bookshelf. He says that these people opened up the world to him, they taught him that there’s more to life than the insulated worlds we generally create for ourselves.
