Mindset
Mindfulness is the key to living an examined life, to unlocking your true potential. It’s so much more than meditation, though meditation is a key component. Ultimately it’s having awareness of your awareness. The following episodes will help take you down the mindfulness rabbit hole…
"If you shout out your dreams and do not keep them a secret, they will definitely happen."Yuval Abramovitz At the age of 16, my guest today, Yuval Abramovitz found himself paralyzed, bound to a wheelchair. Ignoring his medical condition, every time he had an idea of something he wanted to accomplish, he wrote it down in an old notebook and focused on dreaming. The result of that list was a physical recovery and a chance to inspire an incredible number of people to speak out loud their dreams, write their…
"Without your brain and body correctly trained, you're not as effective as you think you are."Tim Larkin Your brain has muscle memory—it will look for the most effective information it has when you are under threat. You wouldn’t necessarily think that on a relationship retreat for Tony Robbins Platinum Partners you’d be getting lifesaving self-defense training, but that’s where I learned Target Focus Training or TFT, back in 2012 from today’s guest, Tim Larkin. That training has stuck in my mind and is filed away, just in case, God forbid,…
"When we pay more attention to what keeps our energy up, what fascinates us, and what motivates us to wake up every day, we begin to connect the dots."Dr. Toni Galardi Dr. Toni Galardi, my guest on today’s episode, once called herself “the poster child for the change impaired” because she was a bit “slow” when it came to preparing for change. This kind of warm and very human confession is what makes Dr. Galardi so relatable, and so compelling. She has parlayed two advanced degrees and a license into…
"We don't take advantage of all our five senses. If I asked you what you ate or listened to yesterday, you would be able to answer them pretty quickly. But how about asking what you smelled yesterday? You might look at me like I have three heads."Tamar Weinberg The sense of smell is too often taken for granted, at least until this year, as one of the common symptoms of COVID-19 is a loss of smell. Did you know that scent, emotion, and memory are all intertwined in the chemistry…
"Isn't life all about the sandwiches? That's the best way to deal with life. Have a good sandwich and think about the best and worst moments you've witnessed. But no matter how much you've endured, you still get to have a good sandwich."Garry Meier The gift of gab is something today’s guest has been famous for since his days on the radio station The LOUP in Chicago starting in 1973. I’m especially excited to have one of my radio and podcast heroes, Garry Meier, with us here because, as a…
"The only time you fail is not when you lose everything. It’s when you realize you didn’t like who you were and you didn’t have a good time doing it."Suzy Batiz When you’ve had the luxury of losing everything, you can start with a clean slate, assessing where you’ve been and where you want to go, because the only way to go is up. This inspiring and transformative perspective comes from today’s guest on the show, serial entrepreneur Suzy Batiz. Transformation is the common thread that runs throughout Suzy’s life…
"Habits determine everything in your life whether you're rich or poor, happy or unhappy, or at peace or in shape. It all boils down to the habits you cultivate." David Henzel Some people talk about changing their lives, but they lack the tools to get them unstuck. Then there are people who manage to change their sleep habits, diet, and move to a different country for an optimized lifestyle. My guest for this episode, David Henzel, is that guy. He is an inspiring serial entrepreneur. He has started, as well…
"A tough conversation is any conversation that we’re avoiding and we don’t want to have. In fact, the brain doesn’t tell us we’re not having it. The brain doesn’t even consider that we can have it." David Wood There’s a funny scene in Jerry Maguire where Jerry is having a confrontation with his very high-strung, intense fiancée Avery. She says, What was our deal when we first got together? Brutal truth, remember? To which Jerry responds… I think you added the ‘brutal’. In everybody’s life there are the tough conversations…
"PRINT® enables us to anticipate behavior and/or remediate if something goes awry in a much better way." Debra Levine You may be familiar with assessments such as Kolbe, Myers-Briggs, DISC and StrengthsFinder – and may have even taken them or encouraged friends, family, or staff to take them. There’s one assessment I was completely unaware of until recently, and I’m guessing you hadn’t heard of it either, and it’s called PRINT. And I have to say, it rocked my world. This is nothing like your typical personality test, it truly…
