Bruce Lipton: The Biology of Belief | What do The Matrix, biology, and iPads all have in common? According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, all of these things have to do with programming and how your brain functions. Dr. Lipton began his career as a cell biologist and made breakthrough studies on the cell membrane. Through this, Dr. Lipton helped establish the study of epigenetics. In Dr. Lipton's eyes, his research implies the existence of the immortal spirit, and he wants those around him to challenge their own perceptions because of this discovery.

Scott Norton: Building a Purpose Driven Business | I think if you take the hero’s journey or just the story arc of beginning, middle, end, protagonist and antagonist and you position what you have to share in this framework, it naturally will resonate with people. It will become more memorable. It will deeply impact them. Crucially in today’s society, it will become more likely that they can advocate for that story and tell that truth to someone else. As traditional media breaks down, and the one to one approach of the TV industrial complex begins to lose its efficacy, word of mouth and oral tradition has come back in a huge way in society. I think that telling the truth well, through the storytelling arc is crucial if you want to build a business and if you want to help people understand reality as you see it. - Scott Norton Sponsors Twenty20provides you with real-world, authentic stock photos.

Graham Hill: The Profound Power of Living Small | The easiest way to go green is to just start by going smaller. Just realize, that particularly in the US there’s this real phenomenon. We’ve over the last 60 years supersized ourselves in this crazy way. 1000 square feet was the average housing size back in the 50’s. Now it’s like 2700 with smaller families. We have three times the space per person that we used to. - Graham Hill Sponsors Twenty20provides you with real-world, authentic stock photos.

Erik Van Alstine: The Power of Perceptual Intelligence | Perception which is the deepest driver in human nature automatically influences our emotion and motivations. When we try to change things, we typically try to change by approaching our motivations or our emotions or trying to deal with behavior. There is some merit to doing that. But when we can get into the perceptions that automatically influence the motivations change is much easier. - Erik Van Alstine Sponsors Twenty20 provides you with real-world, authentic stock photos.

Angie Thurston: Redifining Religion | What you illustrated with your frustration at a service in a religious context is that it’s not doing the job it’s supposed to do in your life. We come at this whole question from the perspective that religion is really about the tools that we use to make meaning of our lives and help us live flourishing lives. That means all sorts of things. It means giving you a sense of connection to other people around you, to your deepest self, to the natural world the moments of transcendence or the experiences that some people might call God, to a sense of time to history. Really it helps you find a place in the world, it gives you a sense of who you are. A ritual, a set of words, chant, or song, all the tools or religion were right at one point in time. To be honest, someone could still sit in that service and find something. But it’s not working for you, and you’re not alone in that question. The fastest growing religious group in the US is “none of the above." - Angie Thurston Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Yanik Silver: Finding the Real Essence of your Goals | It’s really interesting because we get to decide how we frame, and what we want our response to be to any situation. There’s a great book by Michael Singer called the surrender experiment. He talks about the notion that the universe has more in store for you than you can imagine. Many times if we look at what is an obstacle, setback or a struggle in that frame or paradigm, then we can see that there’s a reason for it. I look at joy as our GPS as we have in our lives. We’re attracted to joy. We’re living in joy. And think we either grow through joy or pain. I look at pain as the guard rails on either side on our way to joy. Those guards rails can be pretty narrow. We’re in alignment with what our joy is and how were truly connected with our heads, hearts, and higher purpose. Or the guard rails could be wider and we continue to get bonked on the head harder and harder. I think that we keep getting lessons and get bonked on the head until we realize what’s going on here. - Yanik Silver Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Srini Pillay: The Power of the Unfocused Mind | Often I will ask people “do you want to live an exceptional life?” And most people will say yes. But an exception by definition is low probability. If you want to live a normative life you’ll be in the middle of the bell curve. But if you want an exceptional life it’s going to be low probability. Anyone who wants an amazing life is probably going to go for a low probability life, which means you have to activate some sense of possibility. You ask yourself what is the possibility of doing something? Rather than saying “how do I recover from this trauma or how do I recover from this grief” you ask yourself “what do people who recover from these situations amazingly do? There what you’re looking for is the exception.. The very first principle is think like the exception and not like the rule. - Srini Pillay Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Daniel DiPiazza: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Entreprenurship | For any listening who is thinking about starting a business, thinking about doing something on their own because instagram told you to or because you feel like it’s going to be easier, just know that you can’t have all the good stuff of entrepreneurship without the bad stuff too. It’s just not possible. It’s just like life. A lot of people are looking at entrepreneurship and saying “I want this result. I want a million dollars. And I’m very ambitious.” The link between those things is entrepreneurship. They’re thinking that they have to become entrepreneurs because they want to make money. That’s not the only way to make money and it’s certainly not the easiest way to make money. You have to be able to do all the stuff that nobody talks about if you want to be an entrepreneur.

CharlieHoehn: When Work Becomes Play | There’s this underlying current with everybody that you need to justify your existence with these major accomplishments. You need to show everybody else that you’re doing it right. But really, you were just given this life. None of us asked for this. This was all a gift. So it’s crazy to fall into these rhythms where we think “that’s what I need to be doing.” Rather than reflect on, what are the moments that brought me joy where no one was grading me, no one was forcing me to do the activity, I was just doing what I wanted to do. What were those things that you did as a kid, those activities where you were just left to your own devices, you were on your leisure time, you weren’t in school, no one was directing you or instructing you to do anything. What were the activities that you were repeatedly and voluntarily turning to because that’s really your Northstar. - Charlie Hoehn Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Vanessa Van Edwards: The Science of Succeeding with People | "We like winners. We like to be around winners. We like to work with winners. We like to be friends with winners. That is because we know unconsciously that could activate our feedback loop to win. University of British Columbia did a research study on athletes. They studied athletes around the world. They also studied athletes who’d been blind since birth. They found that across races and genders athletes have the exact same body language when they win or lose a race. Pride body language very specifically is when people take up as much space as possible. They tilt their head up towards the sky. They open their arms wide. They’ll jump up into the air or firmly plant their feet. It’s as if they’re saying “I feel good in the world so I want to take up more space in it.” Whereas defeated athletes, this is the body language of losing and shame, is when they take up as little space as possible. They roll their shoulders in. They tilt their heads towards their chest. They usually will grip their hands in a fist or clenched fashion. They even will stand or sit in fetal position. This is the universal gesture of shame. What happens is when we first see someone, in that first few seconds, we’re very quickly trying to decided “who do you look more like a winner or a loser?” We can pick up how prideful someone feels based on how much space they’re taking up and how much movement they have"- Vanessa Van Edwards Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Anese Cavanaugh: Developing an Intentional Energetic Presence | When you look at the IEP method there’s 3 parts to it. The first thing is the ability to reboot your presence in the moment no matter what’s going on. This is something that’s happening all the time. Let’s just say one of us check out or I’ve got to regroup to think about your question and I find myself going in my head to find the answer, I still have to reboot, come back, and be fully present with you again. That part of is presence, being able to be present in the moment is happening over and over again. I find that the more you practice it, it’s like a muscle, the stronger it gets. The second part is the ability to create intentional impact which is a huge piece. The idea is that we’re always creating impact. If I go out on stage, our interaction here, if I’m working with a team, if I’m working with my kids, if I’m having a conversation with my partner, I’m always creating impact. And the impact is either going to move us forward move us forward be positive or it’s going to maybe move us back, and create little bit more of a mess, or be kind of beige and who wants beige? I’d rather be creating impact that’s joyful, life giving, and forward moving. - Anese Cavanaugh Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Frank Ostaseski: A Glimpse Into Mortality | We spend all this time imagining we’re going to get ready for our dying. And I think it’s kind of an absurd idea, to imagine that at the time of our dying that we will have the strength of body, the emotional stability, and the mental clarity to do the work of a lifetime. It’s an absurd gamble. We should do this work now and that includes those of us who are not dying. Our aging parents for example. Be with them now. Tell them you love them now. Waiting is full of expectation. Waiting for the next moment to arrive we miss this one. Waiting for the moment of dying we miss all the moments in between. Hold death out there. Shine a light on it.

Danielle Laporte: White Hot Truth | It started to dawn on me that I was actually really tired of trying to be better, that all the things I was doing weren’t necessarily making me stronger. There was a lot of dependency on external input, what I call the paraphernalia of the new age. And it wasn’t hard to see this. But it wasn’t just me that was feeling that way. It was really me and all my girlfriends. Every time I get off stage the women would come up to me and I’d hear the same things. Basically, we’re really tired. And this is not the point, further fatigue, berating yourself. I’m pretty sure that this is not the point of walking the spiritual path. - Danielle Laporte Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

It’s not just the person with the highest status. At work you might have an influencer that’s not a manager, or not your manager. It’s never going to be the person with the lowest status….

Larry Robertson: Speaking the Language of Creativity | Here’s the mistake that we all make when we look at creativity. We begin with the output. It might be an incredibly painting. It could be a fantastic piece of technology. IT could be a way in which we run a business or advise clients. We tend to look at that output and say “Oh my gosh what a brilliant idea she had to come up with that. Isn’t she creative? How do we do that?” The thing is that none of us want to do that. Nobody wants to reinvent the iPhone. Nobody wants to reinvent Uber. We certainly appreciate the value that such things have created for us. And we’d like to create something that adds value and has a significant impact. But we don’t want to create the same thing. If any of us are honest with ourselves we’ll acknowledge that is true. The difference is when you start to look at creativity from the front end. What is it that leads certain people have what appears be more creative ideas than the rest of us.

Tim Collins: Overcoming Anxiety | Being extremely hard on ourselves is very common in the very high stress and anxiety space because that’s kind of what got us there in the first place. Now, I love using the word curiosity. So when I get into these instances, I go to a curious place and say “Is this necessary? Does it really impact other people? The people that are impacted, do I really care what they think?” So much of our struggle in life is caring massive about what other people think of us. The reality is that there are only handful of people in the world that can affect my emotions in terms of what I think. Catering to everybody else is to my own detriment.

Tamsen Webster: Telling Powerful Stories in a Short Amount of Time | I believe there is a universal filter, and a universal story that we’re all seeking to understand. And I call it the red thread. It’s a phrase borrowed from Scandinavian countries where they used to say “What is the thing that ties all this together? What’s the theme? What’s the message? What’s the through line?” And we all want that. What I’ve discovered is that we all have that. Every organization, every person, every idea has this thing that makes it make sense. But how we make it make sense is fascinating. The best way to think about it is as Mad Libs. When we are trying to make sense of a situation or we’re trying to make sense of what someone is asking us to do, or if we’re in the position of “how do I tell this story in such a way that moves people”? The pattern of that story is universal, like a pre-written mad libs story. But where it becomes unique, where the power is, not only for us to understand what our own red thread is, but as we’re trying to explain things to other people…we don’t have to figure out the whole story. All we have to figure is how we fill in the blanks. - Tamsen Webster Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Amy Blankson: The Future of Happiness | The question is not whether technology is good or bad for us. I think that might have been the question a few years ago. But now technology is part of our lives, so I think the better question is what do we do with it? As William Shakespeare once said, "there’s nothing good or bad, but thinking it makes it so.” I think positive psychology has some really important lessons for us and what that means in terms of how we use technology, specifically what I call the how, what, where, and why of using technology in our lives. - Amy Blankson Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Joe Cross: Reboot Your Health | Without plants, we wouldn’t be here. They were here first, we came later. There’s this magical beautiful dance of cooperation, love, and friendship between humanity and plants. If you think about where we got our warmth from, it was from burning logs, during a plant. When we needed shelter we could use plants to create huts and shelter. In the evening they take our CO2 that we pump our during the day and give us Oxygen. You’ve got a beautiful dance of breath there. Apart from many other things, the biggest thing they’ve done is give us nourishment, and provided us with the energy, micronutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that our cellular level of our makeup desires and needs to perform at its best. - Joe Cross Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Scott Cramton: The Power of Immersive Experience | There’s that great movie up in there with George Clooney. He says one of those BS lines whenever he fires somebody. “Anybody who has ever built an empire has been sitting in the seat you’re sitting in right now.” He says that right after or right before he fires somebody. And he’s right. That’s a completely true statement. To build an empire you have to be at rock bottom. Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Jon Levy: The Science of Adventure, Community and Connection | We evolved as communities. We didn’t evolve as networkers. The concept of meeting people was a rare occurrence because we lived in these tribal groups for the majority of our early stage as a species. What made the community work was that there was joint activity. So when you look back at the people you bonded with the fastest it was probably because you had something to overcome together that you had to work together for. So when I try to get people to bond, I try to find a challenge or a task they can work on together because that creates a faster bonding. There are two characteristics around this. If you do me a favor, I’m going to like you more. The funny thing is if I do you a favor, I’m also going to like you more because anything I put effort and energy into, I began to value disproportionately. - Jon Levy Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

If you are on task, you have no distractions, doing what you need to be doing and what you’re doing is related to the performance itself you’re going to be fine.

Failing Your Way to Success with Beate Chelette | We are remembered by how other people remember us. We live only through the memories of the people who we touched. So if we didn’t touch anybody, but we have a really big bank account, we’re not really remembered. But if we are remembered, people say “When I listened to what you said, when I saw what you created, when I read what you wrote, when I got my treatment from you, this is how you made me feel” and I’ve created an emotional with you, and this emotion is creativity.

Courtney Carver: How to be More with Less | Your physical surroundings impact you in ways you might not even realize. They did for me. My clutter, my closet, all of that stuff was just this constant reminder of my debt and discontent. When it was gone, the guilt went with it. The frustration or sadness, and all the emotion I had wrapped up in my stuff, that went out the door with my stuff. It just was this felt like an almost immediate solution. Then we were crazy about it and decluttering to the point where we had empty rooms in our house. And finally we had too much house and sold the house and downsized into an apartment less than half the size of our house. And now we’re just vigilant about the stuff that we bring in because we know how destructive it can be. - Courtney Carver Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Finding Your Zone of Genius and Exceeding Your Personal Limitations with Gay Hendricks | What’s really important here? How am I using my gifts? What is my genius and how can I bring it forth to bare on my family and my culture and my business? Those genius questions are things that we need to cultivate in ourselves almost as a matter of discipline. It may sound odd to think of disincline as taking some time each day to tune into what you’re really all about. But in a way it’s just as valuable as going to the gym for an hour. Many people have the discipline to go to the gym for a while, but I’ve had it be so much harder for busy business executives, particularly to gift themselves with that 10 minutes of deep reflection. That’s all I ask people to start with is 10 minutes. I ask them to sit there with me for 10 minutes and simply tune into their breathing. Everything else, we put aside and create 10 minutes to focus on breathing. Then we might contemplate one question like “what is that I most love about what I do in my work?” - Gay Hendricks Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Tapping Into the Power of Community for Profit, Potential and Happiness | For each one of us, there’s something we’re meant to be doing in this world. But if w’ere not in an environment that allows us to explore that, we’re going to be cookie cutter. We don’t need 10 of me or 10 of you, we need 1 of me and 1 of you, and 1 of everybody else around us. Collectively, that’s how we do all of the things that are amazing, and hopefully save this world and make this world a better place. Education, especially a university environment plays a role almost like a lab. There are different pathways. There are people who are very clear on what they want to do like being a teacher, doctor, or lawyer. But then there’s a huge group of people who have no idea. That’s where entrepreneurs, artists and people who are creative come in. That really allows different things to show up. And if there isn’t an environment that allows that, it’s going to be really black and white and boring. - Christine Lai Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Turning Your Work into the Performance of a Lifetime With Cathy Salit | One of the things that is key to the success of children and I’d say anyone is to be related to. Part of what makes it possible for children to learn, grow and develop is that they are related to as people who can learn, grown, and develop. If you are not related to as a learner, but instead are related to as a loser, a fuckup, as somebody who is not going got go anywhere because of ABCDEFG, that is so much a part of why it is kids don’t succeed and they can’t learn. - Cathy Salit Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

The Neuroscience of Goals with Srini Pillay | In terms of goals, there’s simple cognition and there’s complex cognition. Simple cognition is “I need to go get some bread” or “I need to visit somebody who lives on particular street.” That’s pretty direct. It’s easier to get to that goal. You know where you’re going, you know how to get there and you use simple cognition to get there. But when you say “I want to make an extra 100,000 dollars” or “I want to fall in love” or “I want to enhance my state of happiness” or “I want to find the job that I truly love.” Those are more abstract goals and involve what we call complex cognition. And complex cognition involves more than just following some sort of formula. It really relies heavily on your own sense of ingenuity. - Srini Pillay Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

The Business of Belief with Tom Asacker | Belief is what drives people’s decisions. This has to do with people’s desires. Their desires drive their beliefs and their beliefs drive their actions, period. It’s as simple as that and it’s as complex as that that because people are unaware of this. We are being pushed and pulled by our environment. We’re just trying to make it through the day: have a decent day, have nothing go wrong, and at the end of the day flip on Netflix. That’s what’s going on in the marketplace. When you get somebody to adopt what you do, you’re getting somebody to switch one belief for another belief and then going back on autopilot. - Tom Asacker Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Start Where You Are With Samantha Bennett | You are always getting paid. And you are always getting paid in the currency you are asking for. So maybe the currency you’re asking for is “likes” on Facebook. Or maybe the currency you’re asking for a is a lot of compliments from your friends. Or maybe the currency you’re asking for is neglect. For a long time myself esteem was so slow that it really mattered to me that Iw work hard and kind of have nobody notice. That kind of worked for me in a weird way. When I started the organized artists company, I had this wonderful list of people who were really responsive and they’d write back and they would click and like, but they never bought anything. And finally I realized that the problem was me because I was more invested in their affection than I was in making a living. And the minute I decided “I think it’s possible for me to have their affection and make a living”, I tripled my income. - Samantha Bennett Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

That’s why something like meditation is difficult for people because they feel like “when will I get done with this, when am I good at it?” When you say “it’s just something you do forever, that’s a very difficult concept and it’s an uncomfortable concept until you begin to see the benefits of it.

Bringing Your True Self to Life and Work with Jennifer Brown | "Work is where we spend most of our time. And it’s where I think so much learning happens. It’s often where people are exposed to difference in a way that they’re not in their personal lives. We’ve got to work on global teams. We have to work with multiple nationalities. We have to figure out how to lead virtually without ever sitting in front of somebody physically. So we have to get really good at noticing and valuing diversity in all of its forms, and then being inclusive leaders. I think we’re a long way off from that. I’m trying to help corporate America specifically try to tell their story differently and prioritize diversity and inclusion as value that’s going to resonate with incoming talent. But I want them to walk the talk. I don’t want them to just use it as a marketing slogan. I want them to do the hard work which is the internal work in their culture. It’s really easy to buy your way on to lists and get awards and control the optics of the story on the outside. But the harder work and more valuable work is “what are we going to be about as a culture?” I think the role of leaders in setting that framework is really important. They have a huge platform they can use. Yet I find most are scared of it or don’t know what to say about it. They just let it go. And it’s a missed opportunity because people are hearing that as “I don’t matter.” Something is happening in their life that’s huge and their expected to come into work and deny it. That’s kind of the core of what we need to solve for." - Jennifer Brown Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

The Profound Power of Personal Commitment with Kamal Ravikant | If we make a practice in our lives, like going to the gym or eating healthy, if you want to lose weight and be fit, or you want to be chiseled, you’ve got to make a practice. It’s a daily practice. You can’t go to the gym for a week and eat cake for 30 days nonstop and say “hey what happened? I was getting in shape.” Whether you’re feeling bad or feeling good, that doesn’t matter. It’s just your practice, like when you wake up and when you go to sleep. There are certain things you do. It’s a fundamental practice. Just like you talk about with writing. It’s a practice. Then you hit the flow state. Same thing in life. You make it a practice. Life hits a flow state. Things in life happen. People die. Nothing we can do to stop that. People we love die. Things happen. When we hit that flow state we bounce back much faster. The things that used to bring us down don’t bring us down like before. Then it’s only the real tragedies in life that bring us down. When a loved one dies, it’s a real tragedy and that should bring you down. It’s good to have loved someone that way and feel the loss. But the other stuff, the other garbage, the 99 percent of the stuff that brings us down that doesn’t matter lessens and its power over us lessens. So, I would say to someone who is either down or up, what matters is a fundamental daily practice of working on your inner self that keeps you in your personal flow. - Kamal Ravikant Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Best of 2016: Conversations We're Afraid to Have with Jerry Colonna | The "you’re an imposter" mantra is beautiful oft repeated phrase from one’s inner critic. But there are a lot of other phrases the inner critic uses, so it’s kind of a subset of this self loathing that goes on. You correctly linked it to the kind of merging of sense of self and self worth with work. But I would argue that it’s even deeper. It’s merging a sense of self and self worth with almost anything that’s extrinsic to this meatball called me. One of the more profound teachings from Buddhism goes like this: you are lovable, you are worthy. Not because of anything you’ve done, but simply because you exist. - Jerry Colonna Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

Best of 2016: Keys to Exponential Personal and Professional Growth With Salim Ismail | You have your body which is your hardware. And then you have the external world. At an early age you develop the software or operating system to interact between the hardware and the external world. The operating system is formed during the first 7 years. This is why the Jesuits say “give me the child until the age of 7 and I’ll give you the man. So that early education: did you get bullied, how did you respond, how do you navigate playground dynamics, how do you deal with parental stress or family trauma.. You kind of form this operating system. Then we become adults in we start running applications on it: career, love life, sports, money, finance. And the applications start crashing. We blame the application. But we never go back to rewrite the operating system. In a newer world that we live in today that is infinitely more complex, we need to rewrite our basic operating system.

Best of 2016: The Neuroscience of Flow with Steven Kotler | Flow follows focus. The state can only show up when all our attention is focused in the right here, right now. Evolution shaped what we now know of as 20, there are probably more, but we know of 20 triggers. These are things that drive attention into the present moment. People who have extremely high flow lives have built their lives around these triggers. The funny thing about them is that none are complicated and none are super sexy. They’re all really unbelievably obvious and underwhelming on a certain level. And you know all of these things because your body is hardwired for flow, it’s hardwired to move in the direction of peak performance. - Steven Kotler SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Best of 2016: Creating Work That's Impossible to Resist with Sally Hogshead | "Fascination is your brain’s most intense state of focus. When you’re fascinated it’s a feeling of complete immersion.

You’re at your most creative. You have your greatest opportunity to have a breakthrough.

Best of 2016: Counterintuitive Lessons on Nonconformity with Adam Grant | "I walked in thinking that to be an original person in the world, to drive conformity and drive change, you had to be four things. I thought you had to be a risk taker, full of confidence, full of great ideas and a first mover.And I discovered that all those things are wrong, not only wrong, but backward. It turns out that most of the original people in the world, whether you’re looking at Nobel Prize winning scientists, successful entrepreneurs, creative musicians and artist have these opposite traits in common. They’re pretty risk averse, they’re not dare devils, they’re cautious, they feel the same doubt and fear that the rest of us do, they just harness it as motivation instead of being paralyzed by it." - Adam Grant.

Best of 2016: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World with Cal Newport | "So even if you say “I’m not trying to do deep work now. I”m in line at the supermarket. I’m bored let me look at something.” That actually affects your deep work the next morning or the next day when you actually want to do it. There’s this whole notion of passive training where you basically are embracing boredom. You give your mind plenty of practice in actually resisting the urge for distraction, being bored, and being present. That actually has the same sort of ramifications on your ability to focus down the line, just like smoking having to do with cardio vascular fitness. If you’re smoking outside of your practice as a professional athlete, when you get to your actual game you’re going to struggle. If your attention is constantly shifting towards things that are novel and interesting, if you can’t tolerate boredom, it’s going to be hard when it becomes time for you to focus to actually do it." - Cal Newport SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Power of Doing Things That Might Not Work with Nathan Chan | If somebody wants to change their current situation, one of my favorite quotes is “if you’ve always do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always got.” An that’s from Tony Robbins. You just kind have to try and shake things up and kind of step outside your comfort zone. I know might seem easy looking at it from the outside. But it’s certainly not. You just have to find a way to shake things up. That’s all you can do. And you have to take personal responsibility for where you are at this point in time right now because once you accept responsibility and own your s**t, that gives you an opportunity to change that. - Nathan Chan SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Lead Sell and Innovate Using Your Visual Mind with Dan Roam | I want to disabuse everyone who is listening to this that you need to be artistic to be able to draw. You don’t. You don’t need even need to be creative. Drawing is not an artistic process, not in the way I’m talking about it. Drawing is a thinking process. And once you get to that point you realize that “I don’t care if you’re drawing looks like the thing that you’re trying to draw. Say that you’re trying to draw a picture of your car and I say “that doesn’t look like a car, that’s a terrible drawing.” If I can get the idea that there are two circles that represent wheels and a box sitting on top of them, if it’s close enough to me for a car for me to say “that’s a car”, that’s all I care about. What I’m interested in is what is the idea of what you’re trying to convey. Not the specifics of does it look exactly like that. - Dan Roam Download Dan's Bonuses from this show at: unmistakablecreative.com/roam SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Richer Life Found in Helping Others with John Certalic | Every behavior has a payoff. I find myself asking “what’s the payoff in behaving the way that I am?” And if Im letting my past control me, there’s a part of me that gives permission to living as a victim, to the point where I’m less responsible. It’s easier to live as a victim then it is to live as a fully empowered agent of someone who can change and create the life that they want to live. When we live as a victim we can have excuses. We can have excuses for why we don’t certain things, virtuous things, because we have this bad past. So I start with, what’s the pay off? Do we want to be a victim or do we want to live a richer life.? - John Certalic SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Getting Your Creative Ideas Out Into The World with Peter Himmelman | "What are you telling me that can help me own life? In some ways that comes down to a beautiful axiom about living, which is: What exactly are you doing on the planet? What are you doing for other people? how are you being generous with your resources, skills, and experiences? For me, when I see people lit up by things I talk about, like the music that I play, and they go off and do things by themselves, and it inspires them, that to me gives me goosebumps. It’s the most beautiful thing like a flame. You can extinguish it, but it can also be infinitely renewable by lighting up other people" - Peter Himmelman SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

How To Kill Email Anxiety and Get Real Work Done with Jocelyn Glei | Your email functions like a slot machine. Most of the time you pull the lever and you kind of lose. You get something that’s kind of disappointing. Maybe it’s an email from a frustrated client or it’s a message from your boss asking you to do something you don’t really feel like doing. But then every once in a while you get as I did the other day, an email from a long lost childhood friend or an invitation to speak at a conference that’s very flattering. So it’s kind of this idea that these random rewards are mixed in with all that annoying stuff, and mixed in with all the junk that activates this kind of seeking mechanism in our brain and makes us want to go back and check again and again to see if there are any of those random rewards in our inboxes. You never know what to expect and that’s part of the driving force behind that addiction. - Jocelyn Glei SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Giving Unconditionally to Grow Exponentially with Phillip Mckernan | Deep deep down, one of the biggest tragedies is in the world today is that we don’t believe in ourselves. We don’t put a value on our own skin. So even though we can give back, we just don’t want to see how we can impact the world. It’s like giving a beautiful woman a compliment or a good looking guy a compliment. They swat the compliments coming towards them. They don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to feel it. They certainly don’t want to accept it because they don’t believe it. They think you’re just saying it because it’s not true. That’s number one. Number two is that people get so busy. They just create chaos. They create busyness. They create distractions to keep themselves from really becoming the version of themselves that they are, removing that mask, and showing up and allowing the world to see how beautiful and magnificent they are. - Phillip Mckernan SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Middleman Economy by Marina Krakovsky | The way I started thinking about middlemen initially was this very simple definition: the person who connects buyers and sellers in a marketplace. In my reporting I actually came across a more expansive and smarter definition. This came from a VC in the valley named Mike Maples. And he says “a middleman in a network is that node in a network that connects other nodes to increase the value of the network.” That’s looking at it from a more positive view and it’s obviously a network view. It’s really looking at the value of the person who is making those connections because not all middlemen can create value or can increase the value of the network. Even if they do they don’t necessarily help both parties enough to justify their cost. I really like that positive angle. Also, it’s so expansive that it goes beyond buyers and sellers. If I know somebody who I think you should meet, I can make that introduction. I’m a middleman who has improved the value of my network by making both people hopefully better off. - Marina Krakovsky SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Inside the Psychology of Cults with Bob Gower | In classic cult psychology or cult literature, there’s really two characteristics to a cult. First is that it’s ideologically intense and of course that can describe a lot of organizations. Everything from say something like the Landmark forum to the United States of America. We have an ideology that sits behind the organization. In order to be a part of the US government you have to adopt a certain kind of ideology. There’s this idea that we have an ideology. And cults for that reason pray on people like myself who really want to make the world a better place, want to change the world or feel dissatisfied in some way. There can be political cults. There are quite a few of those out there. There can be spiritual cults. There can be even commercial cults. Real estate is apparently a really common place right now where you find people who are learning how to flip houses and do all this stuff. And they began to develop these really intense ideology around how they approach the world and how they see the world. - Bob Gower SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

How Great Organizations do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways with Bill Taylor | I’ve become absolutely convinced, when we look at how innovation happens inside organizations or how individuals come up with interesting ideas, where such powerful insights come from the most unexpected places. And the way leaders increase the chances for those insights or innovations to happen is when they can put lots and lots of people from lots of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives together. And develop this architecture of participation where people who wouldn’t otherwise be talking or otherwise wouldn’t be on a project team, people who otherwise wouldn’t be in the same room are in fact in the same room. It’s amazing the kind of insights that can pop out. I think that way of going through life is a much more enriching and rewarding way of going through life. - Bill Taylor SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Reinventing the American Dream with Courtney Martin | In terms of of the new definition of success, at its most basic we have previously defined the American dream as one individual creating wealth. And usually we define that monetarily, for themselves and their family. So this is everything from the white picket fence and all of your needs are met within it to having a job that has a very clear trajectory, straight up the ladder, and you get all the glory and it’s all about your individual hard work and giftedness. I think that what i’m trying to argue for is breaking apart that whole idea that success is an individual pursuit and instead thinking of success as interdependent pursuit that is about the quality of life that you can create by doing work that you find meaningful that allows you to earn enough money by creating community around you, whether that’s where you live or in cowering spaces, but really having this sense that wealth is most accurately expressed through your relationships. The more people that you have deep, genuine and even daily relationships with, the safer you’ll be and probably the healthier and happier you’ll be too. - Courtney Martin Resources and Links MentionedCourtney's TED Talk How to be a Person in the World by Heather Havrilesky SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

It doesn’t matter how great of a football player you are, it doesn’t matter how strong you are. I can have you do pushups in the cold California surf until your arms give out. No matter how strong you are, eventually your arms will give out. That’s what seal training does. It pushes you past your limits. A lot of people aren’t comfortable going past their limits. They have a mindset that’ become fixed. They only like to do things that they can be good at. They tie in everything that makes them feel good about themselves by being naturally good at something or being able to do something with little to no effort. And for guys who make it through seal training ,what we feed off and what we pride ourselves on is the effort. - Eric Davis SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Biohacking Your Brain With Andrew Hill | Focus is about the ability to attend at will. And to do so in the presence of distractors. And focus ends up becoming then a balance of continuous resources against transient resources. Transient resources, things where you're being alerted or oriented to new stimulus in the environment and sort of vigilant as a sustained attention piece where you're able to laser like focus and also be flexible enough to pull things out of your mind. Not stay so focused on something in front of you that you can't think. It's actually not just more.

Your parents are super impressed or it looks good on Linkedin. Deep down if you know that’s not the right fit for you, that’s on you.

The Profound Impact of Growing up Off the Grid with Dean Kosage | Anybody who has achieved in sports or in music or has traveled globally, anyone who has broken out of their social circle has realized there’s a whole big world out there. It gives you a certain amount of inner authority where you have the courage, when your social circle is dragging your down or not agreeing, it takes what I call Inner authority vs. Outer authority. Outer is authority is “what does the Bible say, what does the Quran say, what do my parents say, what does society say?” It’s always an “ism.” It’s always “I have a decision to make. Let me check with an outer authority to see what I should do” And there’s a lot of people who live that way right now. Inner authority is “I might check with an outer authority, but I’m going to make the decision myself and trust that my opinion is valuable.” - Dean Kosage SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

How to Live a Good Life with Jonathan Fields | Rather than going into this and saying “this an iterative process, where every time I do something my primary metric is growth and learning”, most people go into it and their primary metric is this must succeed. Very often it doesn’t, like “the dream outcome that I had is the outcome I’m actually experiencing.” When it doesn’t hit that people look at the entire investment as a failure and they get dejected rather than looking at it and saying “I’m in this because something deeper inside of me is calling to be in this. I have a sense for what I want to be capable of creating and I’m open to the possibility that this will likely take me years if not decades. It’s the classic Ira Glass quote.

The Power of Making Your Work More Personal with Marian Schembari | "If you are sharing something to connect with people... usually the scarier something feels the better is that you share it, but if it feels like relief, like you would talk to a friend, then often it’s done selfishly. Often times being vulnerable on the internet is whatever you make it…. One person can share something and another person can share the same thing, but their intention of unloading vs connecting is usually really clear at the beginning" - Marian Schembari SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Smarter Faster Better with Charles Duhigg | Productivity is not about doing things unthinkingly. Productivity is about pushing yourself to think more about things that matter. We know the people who are most productive tend to spend more time thinking about what their priorities ought to be instead of getting into their office and automatically answering emails, then working on their expenses, and responding to phone calls. Instead of going on autopilot, which is what habits help us do, what productive people do is say “I know that’s what I did yesterday, but is that the best use of my time today”- Charles Duhigg SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Exploring the Psychology of Human Robot Interaction with Tom Guarriello | In this interaction that takes place between a person and a robot, the person is a critical determining factor in how that interaction is going to work. Just like with your computer. If you have a very frustration tolerance for example, computers are going to drive you crazy because computers are always going behave in confounding ways. They’re always going to do something that you didn’t want expect or want. If I allow my low frustration tolerance to guide my interactions with my computer, it’s not going to be a good relationship with my computer. It’s going to be a terrible relationship with my computer. Software isn’t going to work. We all know people who can’t get things to work on their computer. The computer is just fine. It’s the human part of the interaction that isn’t working well. - Tom Guarriello SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Become a Rockstar on Whatever Stage You Touch with Sekou Andrews | Do you want to make your art your commodity? Answer that. Because that choice is the most difficult choice you’re going to have to make. That’s going to guide and effect everything else that you’re doing. When I think about how that’s shown up in my life, it’s shown up in some incredibly beautiful ways and some incredibly difficult ways. When your art is your commodity, when you’re just a poet, and you’re doing it as a hobby, it’s like “I want to show up at this open mic and rock my love poem, you know I’m in love. I want rock my heartbreak poem because she just left me. Or I want to do my suicide depression poem because I’m feeling down.” And now when your art becomes your job, it’s like “I’ve got to rock this phone bill poem” - Sekou Andrews SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

why-your-only-move-that-matters-is-next-jenny-blake | When I was going through a rough patch I came to one of two conclusions: I’m either destined to be unhappy forever because I keep hitting these existential crises every few years and our society only has two words for them. It’s either a midlife crisis or a quarter-life crisis. Or this crisis state is accelerating and we’re all going to be experiencing it more frequently. As I started doing research for the book, I realized that the latter was really the case...Typically when businesses talk about pivoting it’s to change strategy to save the business from collapse. Plan A didn't’ work so now they have to pivot or die. And in our careers it’s different. Pivot is now the new normal. Actually Pivot is a state of mind and it’s a method that we can all get better at. It’s also a privilege to ask what’s next. Part of hitting a career plateau or pivot point is that’s a sign of our success. - Jenny Blake SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Art of Making Comics with Josh Neufeld | Even outside of outside of whatever skills you develop, say you never become a great guitar player, or singer or artists. That discipline, that willingness to keep working on something until you get better, these are skills that transfer into all other parts of your life. Same thing with sports. I think every kid should do some kind of sports, especially team sports. I can’t overemphasize how important some of the values were I learned from being on teams: learning about teamwork, and working together, and being willing to fail, accepting defeat over and over again. And making that part of your character. All of those are things that come out of extracurricular activities like music and the discipline of getting better at something. - Josh Neufeld SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Creating a Community Where POTUS is Your Client | Anytime a minority of people in this country wants to change, and by minority I mean a minority of people who hold a specific belief or believe that change should happen, they have to convince a lot of people and a lot of their legislators to believe the same thing in order for that to actually get done. The fight for gay marriage felt like it was an overnight success but that took 30 years of organizing, and 30 years of convincing hearts and minds even when the majority of the country believe that it should have been done. It took a supreme court decision. It is really difficult and I have the utmost respect for people who can show up, hear the conspiracy theorists talk about how much they’re evil people, and deal with the atrocities that people accuse our government of, and still believe in the cause, and show up and get it done every day. - Caleb Gardner SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Food as a Tool for Building Community with Jeffrey Zurofsky and Satya Twena | "There's a reduction belief around things like food and other kinds of sacred activities that make us human that we've managed boil down to an essential thing the way we do with everything in our lives. We want to become more efficient at them. More productive. I believe there are 5 things we do as humans that don't deserve that kind of treatment: breathing, sleeping, procreating, eliminating and eating are essential things that don't belong in that category.

Dancing Your Way to Self-Confidence with Ben Weston | I remember the first guy that I taught. He walked into the studio very shy and very nervous. I was also nervous thinking “did someone just pay me to teach them how to dance?" What the hell? Do not let on that this potentially a scam. There’s no way he’s paying me to teach him how to dance. Let’s roll with this.” So he told me his story: “Obviously, I don’t know how to dance. But I’m gay and everyone expects me to know how to dance. They think I’m a fantastic dancer. That’s so far from the truth. I need so many shots of booze not get lost in my thoughts, and feel embarrassed because I know that I’m going to embarrass myself and people are going to wonder why can’t this gay man dance? And for the first half hour of the lesson he was staring down at his feet...shoulders caved in, head down, arms crossed as if he was literally guarding himself from being attacked. He started learning a few basic moves, very simple moves. And it started to feel good. Once he got the moves he started dancing to the beat…. And then his shoulders relaxed, his arms relaxed, and I remember he looked up at the mirror in front of him and then he smirked. He smiled and I said “what’s up?” He said “I think I can dance. I think I’m beginning to learn how to dance.” And I said “Damn straight you can dance” - Ben Weston SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Biohacking Your Way to a Bulletproof Life with Dave Asprey | "When you want to have more energy and more ability to write, it comes down to one thing. And that's electrons. At the end of the day, you're a battery. Your job is to make enough electrons to do what you want to do. We call that energy. You get energy from food, air, and to some extent from light and magnetism. The problem that most people have is that they have unstable energy supply to their head. Your brain and visual processing system are probably using 20% of your calories. Your heart, eyes, and your brain have about 10,000 mitochondria (these little power plants in your cell), per cell. So they're very dense in energy consumption. The rest of your body has 1 or 2 per cell. So you have 10 times the energy consumption and energy production ability in your brain. That means, especially if you're smart and focusing a lot, if you have slight perturbations in your ability to bring energy into those cells, it's basically energy brownout." - Dave Asprey SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Art of Strategic Gifting with John Ruhlin | I don’t care who you are. Even billionaires. We like to be surprised and delighted. Most people I would say walk around feeling under-appreciated and not over appreciated, whether it’s by your family, by your employee, by your kids….In general most people feel under appreciated by their most important relationships. So I think when you gift no strings attached, and it’s not an obligatory year end gift. I don’t send one gift between Thanksgiving and Christmas because that’s an obligation. But when somebody gets a gift just because “I was thinking of you” or just “because of who you are”, I don’t care if you live in South America or Nowhereseville, Ohio, that makes people feel a certain way. And we all crave that appreciation and acknowledgement as a human being. When you tap into that feeling, it’s powerful. And I think we’re all wired at a DNA level, to want to reciprocate it in some, way, shape or form eventually. - John Ruhlin SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Future of Work with David Burkus | Beyond working in whatever your parents did type of working, the industrial revolution really sort of began that idea that you would get a job, that you wouldn't just be whatever your parents were or work on the farm that you inherited. That was the beginning of management and it was based off this idea that the majority of people didn't need to think and act. We just need to teach you how to do this repetitive motion in the factory and pay you to do that motion for 8 hours. Then around the mid 1900's we shifted from industrial work to knowledge work. What happened was that alot of those tools we brought with us from the factory to the office. The tools of how we manage people. And it worked because the work was still repetitive, but it was repetitive on paper instead of trying to assemble a car. And now we're in this shift where knowledge work has become creative work. Everybody has to exercise creativity. Even in a normal "office" job you have to solve problems, come up with solutions, and create ideas. You have to exercise that muscle in a way that we haven't had to do even 20 years ago. - David Burkus SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Inevitable Forces That Will Shape Our Future with Kevin Kelly | I truly do believe that this is both the very best time in the history of the universe, as far as we can tell, to make something because the tools for creation have never been more easily gotten, they’ve never been cheaper. They’ve never been better. They’ve never been as diverse. And they truly make things more accessible. So if you want to make something that has been made already like a book, a movie, a song, the tools do that are just about free, which means almost anybody in the world can get their hands on it. And many of these things in previous generations were prohibitively expensive and relegated to the elites. But now you can make a book that looks as good as a best-selling author can make, and you can distribute it, and it costs very little do…We are at a moment right now in terms of what’s ahead of us, that it’s a very rapidly expanding opening. We’re on the cusp of all these very transformative technologies and trends that will produce more stuff and opportunities in the next 50 years than in the past 50 years as much as that’s hard to believe. - Kevin Kelly SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The cracks, weaknesses, suffering and pain are what allow for new growth. Change is actually good. It doesn’t feel good.

Developing an Unmistakable Voice with Janelle Hanchett | "I was always able to envision “as soon as I get to this spot, the b******t in my head is going to leave. As soon as this happens, it’s all going to go away. I’m going to feel really confident as a writer”. And I’ve actually reached all of those points and all that happens is the b******t in my head shifts into some new story. That’s it. It doesn’t go away. I just changes. It’s a shapeshifter. So that’s where I am now. I’ve made peace with the fact there’s a part of my brain that’s always chattering on about how I’m an impostor, and I’m not good enough, and I’m going to make people upset. But I always get back to “am I writing what I want to be writing in way that I want to be writing it.” And I just kind of trust that’s all I’ve got. That’s what I’ve got to give the world. It’s either going to succeed or not. People are going to like it or not, but that’s what I have. I’m just going to focus on being the best writer that I can and telling the truth as accurately as I can." SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Evolution shaped what we now know of as 20, there are probably more, but we know of 20 triggers. These are things that drive attention into the present moment. People who have extremely high flow lives have built their lives around these triggers. The funny thing about them is that none are complicated and none are super sexy. They’re all really unbelievably obvious and underwhelming on a certain level.

Pathways to Possibility with Ros Zander | "The realm of possibility is predicated on the idea that we create our lives. And of course, we’re not victims of anything. We have the power to create stories. And in this realm we’re connected in a different way than we are as in the child or in the downward spiral. We define ourselves as connected to others. We do not define ourselves a individuals trying to survive. We define ourselves as living in an abundant world where nothing is personal. The reason you’ll see that the world is abundant is because when you understand that you’re creating your life, you can open so many different stories and come from so many different points of view that life is always abundant." - Ros Zander SponsorsThe Great Courses Plus is a video learning services with access to thousands of lectures.

The Psychology of Trust with Michelle Reina | What happens when our trust has been broken and we have been betrayed, it can cause us to feel a lack of confidence in ourselves. It can put us on to shaky ground. So it’s important that we observe what happened. We acknowledge to ourselves, we give permission for those feelings to surface and we’ve got to get support. We go after finding another person who can support us to do the next most important step which is reframing that experience. We reframe when we take that hurt, that pain and that disappointment and we actually consider what can that help us to learn. How could we potentially grow from this? - Michelle Reina SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

The Invisible Influences that Shape our Lives with Jonah Berger | Particularly in America, we think that influence is bad. It’s not a four letter word but it’s pretty close. There’s this myth of the non-conformist. We’re all different. We’re all separate. We’re all completely original and different from everybody else. And that’s not true at the end of the day. Not only is that not true,influence just isn’t as bad as we think. Imagine for a moment that you couldn’t pick a car mechanic or a restaurant to try or what movie to see by talking to anybody, if you had to figure out yourself, every restaurant you’d ever try, every book you’d ever read, every movie to ever see. You had to do all the work to figure it out yourself. You had to read all the reviews and the information and sift through it. Life would be really difficult. So many times others help us make better decisions and also faster decisions. We read online reviews to help us pick something. We talk to our friends to help us figure out what to do. That’s influence. And that’s definitely not a bad thing. - Jonah Berger Key Takeaways The power of learning from people without comparing yourself to them Creating the time and space to ask interesting questions Insights into the future of education How influences shape our lives The one trick that causes a negotiation 5x more successful Implications of social influence on the 2016 selection Books and Resources The Tipping Point Made to Stick Decisive Contagious Invisible Influence A Matter of Taste SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Ego is The Enemy with Ryan Holiday | "One of the hardest things to do is to separate your work and the effort that you put in from the results that might come out of it. An actor doesn’t control the movie around them. They don’t control what the other actors do. They don’t control the marketing budget. They don’t control the distribution. They could do the role of a lifetime, but the director or editor could mess it up in post production. If you’re happiness with your job and your career is dependent on how the movie does at the box office or how the critics respond to your role, you have now placed your happiness with your own life in the hands of other people. And that’s a recipe for profound disappointment." - Ryan Holiday Sponsors Hostgator hosts your website.

The Art of Full Self Expression with Sheri Sanders | "I think one of the things is not looking at the result. Something that has grown very evident in me, and it came from being a teacher, the work that we always do in my classroom is process work not product work. What we want to do when go into the audition room is we want to show these people that “hey, this what this song does to me, And it’s not polished and it’s not perfect, but I’m in the moment and I’m in the music.” If we’re using musical theater, which I think applies to going in for a job interview, or anything that we’re doing to put our work out there, that we come in and say “this is me in the process I’m in with this material. I want you to see how I play with material. I want you to witness me being in my experience." - Sheri Sanders SponsorsThe Great Courses Plus is a video learning services with access to thousands of lectures.

Inventing Point B with Amy Whitaker | “A work of art is something new in the world that changes the world to allow itself to exist. What that means is that the context you’re making something in, the world itself is different when you start and when you end. So you’re not just going from point A to point B within a static known world. You’re in the point A world figuring out how to lead from questions and risk developing things that are kind of unknown as to whether they’ll succeed or fail. If they succeed, you have created a point B world. You’ve made something that then changes the world to make space for itself in a very small or large way. These don’t have to all be grand gestures, just kind of acts of putting a dent in the universe as the saying goes of trying to affect change, to show up in a way of consequence in your personal life, professional life and the world in general.” - Amy Whitaker SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Conscious Transformation with Joey Klein | It starts at the core. A lot of times we can find our minds go the place of “when I have then I’ll be.” It’s kind of that context. When I have a lot of money, then I’ll be happy. I’ll take vacations. I’ll take these trips. When I marry then I’ll feel connected. It’s sort of like “when this happens in my world, it’ll produce this effect for me inside.” And it’s sort of like turning it on its head and saying “you know I’m going to be happy today because essentially I’m going to choose to be happy today.” And I know that sounds so simplistic, but it really is that easy and that simple. You might need to train it a little bit, practice thoughts that are going to produce happiness, beliefs that are going to produce happiness, and engaging activities that are fulfilling. But I think it’s as simple as just beginning to decide it’s what I’m going to be. - Joey Klein SponsorsHostgator hosts your website.

Human Performance in High Stakes Situations With Michael Gervais | When we study people that are exceptional at risk taking, there are some clear functions that take part. There’s two phrases that guide many of them. One is you’ll do whatever it takes. When something matters to you you’ll do whatever it takes. If you think about being a mother or husband or father, or someone you deeply love in your family structure, and there’s a car coming, you would be willing to do whatever it took to save that person that you love. And that level of conviction starts with great clarity. That clarity is the statement that “I love you” as much as you can articulate in words and I will do in my action whatever it takes. - Michael Gervais SponsorsThe Great Courses Plus is a video learning services with access to thousands of lectures.

Unable to download.
iTunes tries to download these when ever a new one is released, but I get the error (!) symbol. All my other podcast download without issue. I had to give a rating but actually never listened to them because of the above stated issue.
