In this episode of the Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, Host Larry Weidel is joined by Pavel Stuchlik, Founder of NOA|AON. Together, the pair get into how some of the biggest lessons arise from our losses rather than the victories, something which Pavel firmly believes. He discusses how he got his entrepreneurial start; his journey as a professional cyclist and his struggles with depression; and how he managed to shift his career into something else after some harrowing news.

Pavel is a former professional athlete, and now is an entrepreneur and motivational speaker. He is a professional EDM DJ and producer under the alias, NOA | AON. By the age of 21, Pavelʼs net worth had already well exceeded $4 million. He became a leading franchise owner in OrangeTheory Fitness, a multimillion-dollar wellness franchise boasting more than 1,000 locations worldwide, and he is now a Managing Partner and Investor at Conscious Spaces. He attributes all of this success to a lethal combination of charm, grit and a “never accept failure” ethic and to his “never take no for an answer” policy.

Incredibly, he spent ten days in a dark cave in Thailand to reach true points of enlightenment. How did that go? Did he achieve such feats? Listen to the episode to find out!
