Excerpt Ageless Athletic Assassin: Page 117
CEO SELF-DEFENSE
CEOs understand the benefits martial arts provides physically and mentally for business.
Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman is a leading Wall Street figure who was inspired to take Taekwondo after watching her children take martial arts classes. Instead of just sitting on the sidelines watching her children, Adena made Taekwondo a family activity in achieving her black belt saying “My lessons from Taekwondo is to use your strength to do the right thing. Lots of lessons that you can apply to business.”
Intuit CEO Brad Smith credits much of his success to the discipline he gained through his martial arts training in karate as a young man. Brad says “I learned at an early age through my martial arts training—where, as a black belt and teacher, you are measured on the progress of your students—that I loved getting things done through a team as opposed to going solo.”
PayPal CEO Dan Schulman attributes his career success to practicing krav maga everyday saying “I think what I really love about martial arts is there's a lot of philosophy around it. The biggest thing that you're taught is there are all sorts of ways of de-escalating fighting situations...confidence also carries over to business.”
Palantir CEO Alex Karp credits practicing qigong in helping him build the 'Killer App' that helped catch terrorist Osama bin Laden. As a 51 year old billionaire bachelor, Alex is so focused on using data, technology, and human expertise to help law enforcement and intelligence agencies causing him to say “The only time I'm not thinking about Palantir is when I'm swimming, practising Qigong or having sex.”
Although Silicon Valley CEOs Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Sundar Pichai of Google, and Jeff Weiner of Linkedin are not martial artists, all provide their employees martial arts courses for self defense with Facebook & Google offering brazilian jiu jitsu and Linkedin offering muay thai classes. All companies say martial arts empowers staff with knowledge of self defense, healthy living, stress relief, and team productivity.
