What would you do if someone handed you a cheque for one million dollars?
Tim Gannon ripped it up.
In this episode of Transforming the Game, I sit down with Tim Gannon, co-founder of Outback Steakhouse, creator of the iconic Bloomin’ Onion, author of Bloomin’ Adventures and five-time US Open Polo Champion.
Tim shares the moment that changed the trajectory of his life. At 39 years old, carrying significant debt, he walked away from a guaranteed million-dollar cheque to take an equity position in a new restaurant company with partners he trusted.
That company became Outback Steakhouse.
We talk about moving from transactional thinking to strategic thinking, why the right business partner can completely change your life and how Tim built an extraordinary career through curiosity, calculated risks and a willingness to back himself.
Tim also shares how he discovered polo in his forties and went on to win five US Open championships, play alongside royalty and compete at the highest levels of the sport.
This conversation proves that it is never too late to find your calling, become an athlete, build something enormous or completely change the direction of your life.
