REMI ADELEKE

We’re all tempted, at times, to cut corners, to take the path of least resistance, and to do work less than we’re capable of doing. It’s easy to do in this easily distracted, overly-stimulated environment we all operate in. My guest today, former Navy SEAL, Remi Adeleke is a prime example of doing work right despite our desire to take the easy route.

Author of his latest book, Chameleon, Hollywood director and consultant, and TV reality show star, Remi knows what he wants, what he doesn’t, and how to pursue everything with an eye towards exceptionalism and mastery. Today, we talk about not becoming a “one-note guy,” getting over Fear of Missing Out when declining opportunities, why writing is one of the best ways to articulate your thoughts, why it’s a mistake to write off the success of others, and timeless advice he learned from his mom like the mantra, “Whatever you do, do it right.”

As I mentioned earlier, my guest today is former Navy Seal, Remi Adeleke. His resumé consists of not only his military training but Hollywood actor, director, and consultant to some of the most prolific directors of today including his work on Transformers, and TV reality star on his work with Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

Remi is also the author of his book, Transformed, and his latest book (and first attempt in the fiction genre), Chameleon. To me, what makes Remi so fascinating is that he seems to be trying it all and succeeding in whatever he seems to pursue. There are so many specialists out there and, while there is value in that, Remi is a man who is pushing the bounds, constantly expanding his capacity, and having a lot of fun along the way.
