Moreover, he also claimed that young people could channel their energy into something productive like he did with martial arts. This made him more respected among his peers. “You can channel all that energy that you have as a young person into something and get better at it and then all of a sudden people admired me. I went from being someone who was incredibly insecure and basically a failure to someone who is really successful in this one thing that was really dangerous,” he added
Lastly, he concluded by stating that MMA had given him a confidence boost and gave him an understanding of how hard work would lead to success. “That gave me immense confidence and also a real understanding of the direct correlation between hard work and success,” he concluded.
This approach has turned out quite well for Rogan. Last year, he struck a deal with streaming service Spotify for the exclusive rights of his podcast which was reportedly worth $200 million dollars.
