We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jimmy Rhoads a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Jimmy, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
Having been through everything life has to throw at me and coming out still moving forward. It hasn’t been easy. There have been times when I wanted to give up. I never did and here I am.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I do a lot. I’m a fitness coach by trade. Fitness is the keystone to my life. It allows me to undertake all I do. JimmyVegasRocknRoll on Instagram. I represent Bucked Up Supplements after a four year run with Gaspari Nutrition. I was the #1 sales affiliate in 2023.
I’m a musician. The former leader of Uncontrolled Substance, Mush, Sons of Rage, The Piranhas, and EyeWill. The current auteur of Can’t Say No. A band of which I’m the only permanent member. Released …to the Villain in 2021 after leaving EyeWill. Did the whole record myself. Over 2.5 million streams on all streaming platforms combined. 1.5 million on Spotify alone. Just released a few demos. Will be releasing a demos EP soon.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
I’ve received an education money can’t buy. I think patience, observation, and decision making have been my three biggest skills to get me to where I am. I feel like people want everything now and aren’t willing to suffer a little bit to get it. So to speak. I think people think too short term in most endeavors and aren’t fully educated on what it is they are trying to accomplish.
Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?
Awaken the Giant by Anthony Robbins. Hands down. Brilliant work.
