Tune in to be inspired by Miller's resilience and positivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Simon focuses his energy on the everyday. He recognises that long-term goals are important but he always brings a productive and vibrant energy to every day. Whilst most people associate Simon with YouTube fame, he can struggle with his identity and the concept of who he is. What he does know is that he is proud of his journey, what he has achieved and what he puts into every single day. Simon advocates for learning from your own mistakes as failure looks different for every individual. It's essential to stay humble, particularly in fame and success, don't take it for granted and recognise where you are. Simon's success wasn't an accident, he was purposeful in what he was trying to do. With fame and success comes negativity, especially if your fame is online. Simon has struggled with hate and trolls in the past but had to develop his mindset to see these negative comments as positive. If someone is taking the time to comment or message then they are watching and they are engaging with you and your content. Simon struggled with school and bullying as a child and teen. He attributes his resilience and confidence to overcoming these years. The world of wrestling is truly unique, Simon describes it as a world for misfits and it is because of this he has an affinity with other wrestlers and fans in a way other industries wouldn't be able to comprehend or understand. BEST MOMENTS "I was very much a day-to-day guy. I really, really am a day-to-day guy."  "I just want to let you know, I really hope those guys smash it."  "I love it because it means, I think, again, he's going to be my, what do you call it, my example for this whole podcast by complete accident."  "I use it as fuel. I use it as fire. And I use it a way to stay passionate and to stay grounded and to stay focused on what I want to do now."  "Wrestling attracts I can't think of a better word other than misfit, a bunch of misfits. And I'm a misfit. I'm in it. I'm right in the middle." "Even now when people may say something to me that gets me a little bit [upset] it's probably coming from an internal.  It's probably coming from an internal place. It's probably nothing to do with you."
