In a matter of minutes, Will Smith and Chris Rock made entertainment history in an incident that’s now known as “the slap heard round the world.” However, there are some important lessons we may have missed in between all the drama. Today, we take a dive into the movie that won Will Smith his first oscar, along with our thoughts on this viral moment.
Welcome back to the Unlimited Potential Show! Whether you saw it happen live, caught it on social media the next day, or you couldn’t care less about Hollywood, it’s safe to say the moment was shocking. On today’s episode, we briefly talk about the incident at the Oscars, the responsibility actors have when it comes to their personal lives, and our thoughts and official review on the powerful movie that is King Richard.
SPOILER ALERT!: We talk about specific scenes from the movie and what it taught us about creating and planning for success! If you haven’t seen this movie, but it’s on your to-do list, you may want to skip over a few sections. Either way, we hope you enjoy this episode and watch King Richard during your next movie night.
Though Will acted impulsively that night, his character Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, was anything but impulsive. Join us as we talk about Richard's uncompromising conviction in the movie, the simple 4 step framework that supports this “whatever it takes” mentality, and the lessons we can learn from those who have walked the path of success.
In the movie, King Richard has a step-by-step plan written out before his daughters are even born. His laser focus and expectations for their future teach us the importance of clarifying your vision and creating actionable steps to reach your goals. Listen in as we talk about the power of persistence, conviction, and belief and how Richard used these concepts to instill lasting values, balance, and humility into each of his daughters. Leading them to become some of the most successful athletes in the world.
We were blown away by the subtle lessons we learned from the King Richard movie and hope this encourages you to tap into your Unlimited Potential and go after your dreams with everything you have.
