In this episode, Tim has a great conversation with an extraordinary man, husband, father, leader, businessman and author. Lidsky shares what he’s learned from going blind at a young age and how it is one of the best things that’s ever happened to him. OUR CONVERSATION: We are disabled with self-limiting assumptions we tell ourselves We all misperceive success and values We all have our blindness in our human condition We are creating the reality we are experiencing How we convince ourselves that the things we are thinking and doing are objective truths The world is full of examples of people who’ve overcome unspeakable circumstances and found meaning and joy in life Not taking control of writing your own narrative is a choice Positive habits Isaac has built into his life Having a real vigilance to separate out the difference between what you know, you think you know and what you need to figure out How we try to identify and cling to heroes and villains in the face of fear How fear shows up and fills in the blanks in your life with the most awful scenarios possible What fear did in his life when Isaac started losing his sight The importance of practicing your disciplines daily Every instance in our life can yield knowledge, wisdom, and strength The importance of quieting the noise and getting back to our strength Living your life with an open heart and open mind An open heart begins with being open and accessible to yourself first Own your emotions and the responsibility for your emotions The importance of introspection The power and ruthlessness of words Writing and how it is an invaluable tool How we speak to others like attorneys and listen like five-year-olds (THIS NEEDS TO BE FLIPPED) Confronting life’s challenges with initiative, humor, grace and an empowering new vision How effort without purpose is entropy How we have ultimate agency over every thought and action Isaac’s Uphill challenge that he had to overcome Three things Isaac is optimistic about over the next 12 months RESOURCES: Book: Eyes Wide Open by Isaac Lidsky Website: Lidsky.com Instagram: isaaclidsky Facebook: @IsaacLidsky LinkedIn: Isaac Lidsky Twitter: @isaaclidsky TedTalk: What reality are you creating for yourself?

Isaac Lidsky comes onto the Cashflow Diary podcast to give you some much needed inspiration and to show you that you can achieve your vision for your life. As a successful child actor in a major sitcom, Isaac Lidsky was bound from Hollywood to Harvard, where he graduated by the age of 19 – all while losing his eyesight to a rare blinding disease, retinitis pigmentosa. Yet his future was bright. Today a blind CEO, author and acclaimed speaker, Isaac shares a remarkable story of courage and achievement amid tough challenges. America first saw Isaac as “Weasel” in NBC’s "Saved by the Bell: The New Class". As a teen, while his eyesight gradually diminished, Isaac began to reframe his outlook. Dispelling any notion of disability, Isaac honed his true vision. And his achievements kept mounting: following college, he not only spearheaded a start-up, but then studied law and graduated Harvard Law School magna cum laude; clerked for Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sandra Day O’Connor, and argued and won more than a dozen appeals in federal court on behalf of the United States. As an entrepreneur and leader, Isaac’s first company sold for $230 million, and he then transformed a struggling Orlando subcontractor into the leading $150 million construction services company ODC Construction, he now leads as CEO. He also founded Hope for Vision, a nonprofit organization that funds the development of treatments and cures for blinding diseases.   Podcast Highlights Who is Isaac Lidsky? Isaac grew up in the Hollywood fairytale in a lot of ways. When Isaac was 13 he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and realized that he was destined to lose his eyesight. Isaac believed that he would end up alone and unremarkable, which obviously turned out to not be true. Where did the courage to continue come from? We all confront our challenges differently. In the face of crisis, our fears can step in and we often imagine the worst case scenario. Isaac lost his sight over the course of twelve years. The process of becoming blind made Isaac realize that we shape our own realities. In every moment, we get to choose who we want to be and how we live our lives. It’s an inescapable responsibility. Isaac had an epiphany in the office of his occupational therapist. He was choosing to live in the awful world that he had created for himself in his mind. He made a choice to live differently. How did you go from the doctor’s office to creating a company? What is it that you want to spend your time and your life on? What does success look like to you? You are living the answer to those questions every moment of your life, whether or not you are asking them consciously. Without your diagnosis, would your life look like the way it does? Isaac wouldn’t change a thing about his life. Going blind was one of the greatest unexpected blessings he has received. Changing your perspective We tell ourselves stories and limit ourselves. We listen to our fears and let them dictate the way we act. In the business world, entrepreneurs often set out to market the business or service that they want to sell. But it’s often more lucrative to create what your customers want to buy. Why did you write the book? EYES WIDE OPEN explores the vision and philosophy of choosing what you want to see. Isaac wrote the book with his children in mind in the hopes that they will read it in the future. Isaac does not have vision problems, he has sight problems. No matter what circumstances we are in, there are people who have done far more with much less and have lead happier lives. It’s not our circumstances that dictate our life, it’s how we view them

According to Inc. Magazine, Isaac Lidsky has “the most eclectic resume in business.” He was a childhood actor, starring on Saved By The Bell: The New Class as "Weasel." He graduated from Harvard University with an honors degree in math and computer science when he was 19. Then, he founded an internet advertising technology business that has thrived to this day, before returning to Harvard for law school, graduating magna cum laude. As a Justice Department attorney, he argued cases in federal appellate courts on behalf of the United States and never lost a case. He was a Law Clerk to two U.S. Supreme Court Justices - Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Today, Isaac runs Florida's largest residential construction services company, ODC Construction. There's a lot more to the story: From age 12 to 25, Isaac slowly lost his sight to a blinding disease. Far from limiting him, his blindness turned out to be a blessing. The vision he gained is empowering and liberating. His main stage TED Talk was viewed more than a million times in its first 20 days, and his recently published book, Eyes Wide Open, is a New York Times best seller.
