What happens when you actually become the best in the world… and it still isn’t enough?
In this episode of Just Getting Started, I sit down with 7× Kendama world champion Nick Gallagher – the man many consider the GOAT of his sport. We dive into what Kendama really is, how an 11-year-old in Seattle got hooked on a wooden toy, and the insane level of precision, practice and mindset it took to reach the very top.
But this isn’t just a story about a niche Japanese skill toy.
Nick opens up about the moment he realised being world champion wasn’t giving him purpose anymore, nearly going broke trying to build a business, walking away from his “dream job” in Japan, and rebuilding his life as a coach.
We talk addictive personalities, identity, love, long-distance marriage, and what it actually takes to become “the GOAT” at anything – sport, business, or life.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is this it?” even when things look good on the outside, this conversation will hit home.
Enjoy!
