Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. Today, we sat down with Zach Owings, a former major league professional baseball player for the Miami Marlins. Growing up, Zach's success was only measured by how well he performed in sports, and his self-worth was tied to his performance in sports. As a result, he struggled to understand his value to the world, his love for himself, and, more importantly, his self-worth. When Zach got drafted to the Miami Marlins, he labeled it as “the worst day of his life”. All the years of hard work and dedication leading to this moment, and it didn’t feel like everything he hoped for. He eventually came to the realization that baseball wasn’t his dream, but rather his family's. Everything changed when Zach one day came across Gary Vaynerchuk’s content, and his whole perspective on life was altered. He ended up quitting baseball and started to work for his idol and now mentor, Garyvee. 

In this episode, we cover self-worth and identity being tied to sports, not connecting with family and parents at a young age, how much Garyvee has meant to Zach and his life, the struggles of personal relationships & romantic relationships, and so much more!
