An Unlikely Journey of Success and How Diamond Dallas Page is Paying it Forward. Yes, I am a competitive wrestler interviewing a semi-retired professional wrestler. When I came across what Dallas is doing now, I was absolutely blown away. But before we get to that, let me introduce him to those who don’t know who he is. In addition to his two-decade professional wrestling career, Dallas is an actor, motivational speaker, and fitness instructor. He broke into the wrestling world as a business manager in 1988 before signing with WCW, where he went on to become a 3x World Champion. And notice I said semi-retired… he’s been in the ring as recently as 2015 so he’s still at it. That brings me to my next point, Dallas credits his ability to still wrestle to the workout program he developed which he calls DDP Yoga. He originally developed DDP YOGA for athletes like himself who had suffered years of injuries due to high impact sports. He tried yoga for the first time after rupturing two disks in his back during the height of his career. He began mixing in traditional sports therapy and eventually developed DDP Yoga. He’s had clients lose hundred of pounds, overcome debilitating injuries and reclaim their lives. More than anything, I’m excited for you to hear his story and some of the stories of the people whose lives he’s transformed.

About Your Host Jim Harshaw
My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here.
And I can help.
Who I Am
I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them.
I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires.
Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
I’ve been lucky.
I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have.
I will show you how.
Why You are Here
You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track.
You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow.
Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.
