Ep 456How Psychedelics are Changing Lives (with Matt Zemon)
Psychedelics, when used responsibly and in the right context, have the potential to catalyze profound healing and personal transformation by quieting the default mode network, allowing new neural connections to form, and providing fresh perspectives on entrenched patterns of thought and behavior.

This enables fresh perspectives and the release of limiting patterns. Set, Setting, and Source: Set, setting, and source are critical - your mindset, the environment, and the quality/purity of the medicine. An experienced facilitator and a safe, supportive container are essential. Properties of Different Psychedelics: Different psychedelics have unique properties - MDMA is heart-opening and good for processing trauma, psilocybin fosters a sense of interconnectedness, and 5-MeO-DMT can induce a transcendent non-dual experience. Progressive Psychedelic Journeys: Multi-day, multi-medicine retreats allow for a progressive journey, with time for preparation and integration. The medical and ceremonial approaches each have valuable aspects to incorporate.

Ep 455Why Focusing ONLY on Results Can Backfire on You (with Eduardo Briceño)

Growth Mindset: Cultivating a growth mindset - the belief that we can improve our abilities through effective effort - is key to motivation, resilience and achievement. We also need to know how to change and have a strong sense of purpose. Creating Growth Cultures: Leaders can transform their teams and organizations by fostering a learning culture. This requires modeling growth behaviors, providing resources and support, and aligning systems around improvement. Productivity Paradox: Focusing relentlessly on productivity can backfire. Building in time for exploration, reflection and recovery actually fuels better performance in the long-run. Declutter to focus on what matters most. Transcending Positionality: To solve our biggest challenges, we must be willing to question our assumptions, engage with different perspectives, and iteratively test solutions.

Ep 454What's Really Happening at the Southern Border? (with Vince Vargas)
The stories that you hear about the border from mainstream media might not be showing the full picture. If you want to know what’s really going on, it’s often best to go directly to the source. Vincent “Rocco” Vargas is an Army veteran and former Border Patrol agent who served three combat tours with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. After leaving active duty, he joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 2009. In recent years, Vargas discovered passions for screenwriting and acting, landing a major role on FX's "Mayans M.C.". Today, Vargas continues serving in the Army Reserves as a Sergeant First Class. When not on duty, he runs Light the Fuse, Beteran, and enjoys staying active through Brazilian jiu-jitsu while being a dedicated husband and father to his eight children in Dallas, Texas. Key Takeaways: Border Patrol's Role: Border Patrol agents play a critical yet underappreciated role as patriotic defenders keeping America's borders secure and serving as the first line of defense against terrorist threats. Their importance for national security is immense. Reality vs Perception: There are major gaps between the reality of a Border Patrol agent's daily duties and life on the frontlines versus the public's perception shaped by misinformation and politicization. Vargas wrote his book to close these gaps. Policy Impacts: Flawed policies and incentives exacerbated the border crisis, overflowing resources and limiting agents' capabilities despite their best efforts. Resolving issues requires multilayered policy changes. Ranger Combat Tours: Vargas brings unique experience from serving three combat tours as a U.S. Army Ranger. This firsthand experience of being on the frontlines against terrorist threats shaped his perspective on defending America's borders.

Ep 451Dynamic Leadership Dialogue(with Errol L. Pierre)
You can't control what people do to you. You can only control how you react to how people treat you. Author, senior executive, and educator Errol L. Pierre(@Errol L. Pierre) brings a wealth of experience, insight, and leadership, discussing mentorship, work ethic, and climbing the corporate mountain as a professional of color. "Have the courage to make a million mistakes and the wisdom not to make the same mistake a million times." -Errol L. Pierre Key Takeaways: Optimal Performance Strategy: Execute tasks with unwavering commitment and enthusiasm. Wholehearted dedication to each endeavor maximizes the potential for success and fulfillment. Opportunities present themselves in the synchronicity of life. Strategic Interaction Approach: Adopt a professional mindset akin to "One Day, One Life." Treat every daily interaction as if it were an interview, promoting attentiveness and respect for meaningful connections. Show up as your best each day and prepare for the best possible outcome in all your interactions. Cultural Awareness for Harmony: Acknowledge that societal divisiveness often stems from limited exposure to diverse cultures. Foster unity by actively seeking to understand and appreciate different cultural perspectives. Regardless of who we are, we all have biases; this is an important distinction when engaging in and facilitating complex discussions. Learning through Errors: View mistakes as valuable learning opportunities. Making a diverse array of mistakes can lead to a wealth of knowledge and increased intelligence. However, repetitive errors without adaptation require corrective action to ensure continued growth and success.

Ep 448Spy Survival Tactics - with Jason Hanson
What's cool about being in the CIA is that you can take any training you want, even if it's not your specific job. They want you to have a diverse background in your training. Learn how to properly bribe an international police officer from former CIA officer and New York Times bestselling author Jason Hanson(@SpyEscape) as he joins Mark in a conversation on the spy secrets that can save lives. "I always tell people too, like, let me tell you how to bribe the police overseas because you may need this depending on where you go." - Jason Hanson Key Takeaways: Deep State: The actual deep state is not the president of the United States. It's not some Senator. The deep state in the government is the middle manager, the ones not doing their jobs but can't get fired due to their level of security clearance. Ultimately, the deep state is the bureaucracy of the government organizations. SDR(Surveillance Detection Route): Pretend you are a spy and will attend a meeting in Russia with your asset. When you leave your hotel for the meeting, you do not go directly to the location in case you are being followed. First, you go to the grocery store, a coffee shop, and a gas station. Once you have hit all those different places while running surveillance, you can see if you're being followed in five minutes. Situational Awareness: It is proven that when you come under stress, you lose 50% of your IQ, so your IQ is not functioning well in a crisis situation. People need to be aware that that's what the stress response does; it literally sucks your brain, there is a good chance you will go into tunnel vision. In times of duress, your response rises to your training level. Home Defense Plan: Everyone should have a home defense plan. One simple and effective strategy is to grab a flashlight, open your gun safe, grab the gun, and go take care of the intruder. It shouldn't be much more complicated than that.

Ep 447Wisdom in Complex Leadership(with Eric Kaufmann)
It's a complex world. We're diving in and out of chaos; leaders need tools suitable to this complexity. Bringing Zen into the boardroom and classroom, seasoned leader, educator, and author Eric Kaufmann (@Eric Kaufmann)brings his three decades of conscious leadership practices to discuss ego, integration, and purpose. "The work of a conscious leader is a place where an unrelenting commitment to results combines with an unyielding regard for spirit. " - Eric Kaufmann Key Takeaways: Ego-myopia: Transcending ego-myopia demands practice, awareness, and unwavering commitment. Expert Eric Kaufmann identifies three fundamental human needs: the craving to be right, to be liked, and to possess might. Leaders must undergo emotional maturation and pursue vertical development to effectively dismantle the ego, enabling them to engage and operate from the realms of wisdom, love, and power. Humility: Humility is to be grounded, of the earth, and fundamentally human. Humility is not a skill to acquire but a state to embody. Grounded in the essence of humanity, it signifies acknowledging equality with others, standing eye to eye and shoulder to shoulder without claiming superiority or inferiority. Showing and Opening Up: In leadership, embracing Ken Wilbur's Integral theory involves the imperative to wake up, grow up, clean up, and, notably, show up. Central to this is opening up, a vital aspect of awakening to the present moment, integrating past experiences and fostering genuine connection. Opening up entails engaging the heart, enabling leaders to perceive situations from diverse perspectives with discernment and detachment. Conscious Leadership: A transformative journey from self-centeredness to life-centeredness. Our identities become more porous as we evolve, shifting from a singular focus to embracing multifaceted versions of ourselves. In navigating today's complex world, characterized by agility and innovation, leaders succeed in transcending ego-driven resistance, fostering a more porous and spacious mindset that enables adaptability, innovation, and compassionate collaboration.

Forget the things behind and press on toward the things that lie ahead. As a visionary in the industry, Cristobal Krusen's(@Cristobal Krusen) contributions have left an indelible mark on the film world. His work is renowned for the unique blend of emotion, intellect, and aesthetics that define his storytelling prowess. His latest semi-autobiographical film, "Let Me Have My Son," explores the impacts of how love and family can support those who live with mental illness. "I had this desire to know if there was something more than just the physical reality." -Cristobal Krusen Key Takeaways: Screenwriting: Screenwriting is considered a distinct art form, demanding creativity, storytelling, and a deep understanding of how the words will become images. While there are established guidelines for writing screenplays, experienced writers often break the rules to express their artistic eye and engage audiences visually, emotionally, and viscerally. Being Born Again: The journey from a state of agnosticism to a spiritual awakening, described as being "born again," offers a fresh perspective on life, relationships, and personal growth. This spiritual rebirth includes a new outlook on dreams, experiences, and relationships, perceived with different eyes and orientations. Faith is significant for forgiveness towards oneself and others as a powerful component of spiritual transformation, enabling individuals to move forward with newfound understanding and compassion. Mental Health Awareness & Challenges: Krusen's recent semi-autobiographical film, "Let Me Have My Son," is a powerful look at how art can be used to raise awareness regarding global issues like mental health struggles. Mental health issues need to be addressed and destigmatized for the sake of humanity on a worldwide scale. The impact of mental health on the homeless, family, and other institutions is glaring as we transition out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ep 445How Trust Works(with Darryl Stickel)
Being vulnerable and embracing uncertainty are all components of healthy, trusting relationships. Trust forms the bedrock for cultivating robust connections and envisioning a more promising tomorrow. Join us on this transformative journey with Darryl Stickel(@Trust Unlimited), a prolific author, seasoned expert, and dedicated educator, as we explore the keys to exceptional leadership in an uncertain world. "Trust is a willingness to be vulnerable, when we can't completely predict how someone else is going to behave." - Darryl Stickel Key Takeaways: Physiological Safety & Trust: A crucial element in high-functioning environments is a direct consequence of elevated levels of trust. How we trust is intertwined with our perception of uncertainty and vulnerability, where the latter equates to perceived risk. In the early stages of relationships, when uncertainty is high, our tolerance for vulnerability is limited, governed by a specific risk threshold. As relationships mature and uncertainty diminishes, the scope of vulnerability we can endure expands, fostering a deeper level of trust. 3 Key Levers of Trust: Benevolence, integrity, and ability collectively form one triad of trust, underpinning the foundation of reliable interpersonal connections. Genuine care for others' well-being (benevolence), consistent alignment with one's values (integrity), and demonstrated competence (ability) collectively cultivate a sense of trustworthiness that strengthens relationships, building a robust framework for mutual reliance. Shared Perspective: Understanding another person's perspective of an event is a potent tool for cultivating understanding and collaboration, recognizing the inherent diversity in individual narratives. In conflicts or group dynamics, a transformative approach for resolution involves independently gathering each person's story before facilitating an exchange where individuals articulate and grasp each other's narratives. This process leads to the emergence of a shared story, enhancing collective comprehension and reducing discord. Happy New Year!

Ep 444POW's Leadership Legacy(with Lee Ellis)
A robust community made an immense impact. In Vietnam, as POWs, we endured suffering, but we suffered together. We also found solace and healing together. Colonel Lee Ellis (@LeeEllis) has lived a life that is a testament to overcoming adversity and being dedicated to service. A Vietnam POW of the Hanoi Hilton, Lee shares his powerful insights and worldview in this interview. "If you have great love and you have responsibility growing up, you're going to be a healthier person." - Lee Ellis Key Takeaways: 5x5 Code of POW's: The 5x5 matrix tapping code, initially employed by prisoners of war (POWs) during World War II to covertly communicate through walls, involved a grid with five rows and five columns, excluding the letter K. This ingenious code allowed POWs to tap out messages by indicating specific rows and columns, enabling secret communication within confinement. The code's success in fostering covert communication led to its continued use in subsequent conflicts, including the Vietnam War, where POWs in places like the infamous Hanoi Hilton utilized this method to share crucial information and support one another in the face of adversity. This code is a testament to POWs' resilience and resourcefulness across different periods of history. Secure and Insecure: We're all sliding back and forth between feeling secure and insecure. We all must move toward being more secure and believing in ourselves; in this belief, we want to be confident and humble. When we are confident and humble, then we can be realistic. This allows us to take ownership of mistakes and clean up misunderstandings, which is essential in leadership. Independent and Interdependent. Maintaining personal autonomy is vital in relationships—an aspect highlighted by the necessity to be independent. Simultaneously, recognizing the significance of interdependence is equally essential, especially within meaningful relationships. Striking a balance between these qualities becomes a cornerstone for personal growth and successful, mutually supportive connections. Kokoro: SEALFIT's 50-hour crucible, inspired by Navy SEAL Hell Week, draws from Samurai tradition, emphasizing the integration of head, heart, and hands in action and service. Over a decade, participants have experienced transformative outcomes, breaking free from limited thinking, enhancing decision-making, and fostering calm and clarity.

Unlock the secrets to exceptional leadership with David Dodson(@DaveDodson), Stanford professor and bestselling author of The Manager's Handbook. Tune in for a transformative journey into the core principles of business success with a true expert in the field. "The act of doing ordinary things extraordinarily well is uncommon." - Navy SEALs Ethos Key Takeaways: Why We Learn From Failure: Understanding the essence of learning from failure lies in our tendency to dissect setbacks more meticulously than successes. Achievements often lead us to overlook the comprehensive details, whereas stumbling compels us to delve deep into the intricacies of what went awry. It is through the process of picking apart our missteps or wins that we can extract valuable insights and foster genuine growth. Skills vs. Intuition: Navigating the intricacies of a successful business isn't always intuitive; instead, it heavily relies on a foundation of skills. This perspective is highlighted in "The Manager's Handbook," where the identification of five universal skill areas underscores the critical role of aptitude in effective management. Recognizing and honing these skills becomes paramount for anyone seeking success in the dynamic world of business. Mental Health in the Workplace: Destigmatizing mental illness in the workplace is vital for leaders. Brilliance often coexists with mental health challenges, like bipolar disorder. Leaders must proactively equip themselves with tools to manage these issues, acknowledging their inevitability in the workplace. Time Management: Mastering the use of your time is not just a skill; it's a role of custodianship over one of our most precious resources. Recognizing the importance of being a custodian of time involves a strategic approach to prioritizing tasks, setting goals, and optimizing efficiency.

The tools of mental management are visualization, positive self-talk, and reframing memory. Mentorship: Strong mentors can make all the difference when you stand at a crossroads, start your career, or make significant life changes. Mentors come in different ways.

Trauma does not discriminate. Trauma is trauma. PTSD and suicide are like hand in glove in the veteran community. In this episode, US Navy veteran D. Paul Flemming(@DPaulFleming) shares his journey of faith, writing, and overcoming trauma. "Trauma belongs in the eyes of the person who suffered it, and nobody, in my opinion, nobody should weigh or judge the level of trauma. It is up to the individual to determine how severe the trauma is. " - D Paul Fleming Key Takeaways: Breaking the Silence on Veteran Suicide: Veteran suicide rates are alarming, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the issue.

Ep 436Breaking Free: Releasing Trapped Emotions for a Healthier You - with Dr. Bradley Nelson
Miraculous healing can and does occur, and there is a space for it in the medical field. Learn how to heal your aches and pains in this interview with Dr. Bradley Nelson(@Dr. Nelson) as he shares the secrets of how to create freedom from pain in your body. His books The Emotion Code and now The Body Code System are known worldwide as a go-to manual for healing. “It is time to start taking back our own ability to work on our bodies. There's so much that we can do. Most of the time, we don't need drugs, most of the time, we don't need surgery.” - Dr. Bradley Nelson Key Takeaways: The Emotion Code: Einstein said that the future of medicine will be based on frequencies. The Emotion Code is a transformative healing method that detects where negative emotions are stored. The subconscious mind knows what the blocked emotions are. Once they have been identified, they can be released by yourself or an Emotion Code Practitioner. Listening to Your Body: If you are in chronic pain, whether it is physical or emotional, you can learn a lot about how you suppress, process, and engage with your emotions. To learn from your state of mind or body, you must slow down, stop, and listen to what the underlying message is. This is where a therapist, somatic practitioner, or other practitioners in the healing arts can assist you in liberating the insistent loop that keeps you locked in a state of suffering. Releasing Trapped Emotions: By finding and removing trapped emotional energy in the body, people start to feel like a different kind of person. They feel more aligned in their bodies, minds, and hearts; there is a sense of returning home. There is a sense of freedom and ease created by the space left once the trapped emotions leave the body. 6 Types of Imbalances: 1) Energetic imbalances, 2) Nervous system imbalances, 3) Stored toxins, 4) Nutritional and lifestyle imbalances, 5.)Skeletal and Musculature misalignments, and 6) Pathogens.

Ep 435USA is Failing at HealthCare(with Henry Buchwald)
You can't fix healthcare with ideology. We need practical solutions. Dr. Henry Buchwald (@Dr. Buchwald), believes our healthcare system is upside down! After 60 years as a surgeon and educator, this 90-year-old doctor is doing everything he can to educate people in the USA on why the healthcare system needs them to change it. In this podcast, he discusses what he has seen in his decades of practice and his new book, Healthcare Upside Down. “Healthcare needs to be treated with respect.” - Henry Buchwald Key Takeaways: Broken Medical Care: According to Dr. Henry Buchwald, the United States medical system is broken. The doctor-patient relationship could be more varied and consistent. Instead, it is almost non-existent. Insurance companies are profiting from people's illnesses. The USA is way behind in statistics overall for our medical care and advancements. It's a business model where doctors are interchangeable, and patient care needs to be improved. Healthcare and Life: Our life from birth involves health care. Growing up and achieving adulthood requires health care. Being able to live a mature life to work, to love, and to have children is dependent on health care. In the final chapter, aging can be made pleasurable by healthcare. Healthcare is, therefore, integral to life from beginning to end. Healthcare is not a commodity but a necessity. Fraternal Organizations for Healthcare: A not-for-profit member-owned healthcare insurance is one of the best ways to ensure you will be cared for by the company you pay a monthly per diem to. There are many out there, and many more collective organizations starting to pop up due to the need and demand from our underserved population in the USA. Finding our Collective Voice: Many individuals feel like they need a voice. If people can find a voice together, they will see the power in the collective. This can be done by looking at our immediate environments to see who owns the power structure. Utilizing leaders in our communities and working within organizations like our church or place of work can create a collective voice for the individual.

Ep 434How to Look (with Christian Madsbjerg)
Many of our differences are basically misunderstandings, and the reason for those misunderstandings is that we don't listen to each other or attempt to understand another's perspective. How can we learn to see what is true in a world of misinformation and miscommunication? Christian Madsbjerg (@Christian Madsbjerg) shares his expertise on the importance of suspending conditioned beliefs in our minds and genuinely looking at the power of understanding multiple perspectives. “You can't see anything about other humans unless you use your own humanity and your own experience. ” - Christian Madsbjerg Key Takeaways: Phenomenology: Wikipedia defines this as a “ philosophical study of objectivity – and reality more generally – as subjectively lived and experienced. It seeks to investigate the universal features of consciousness while avoiding assumptions about the external world, aiming to describe phenomena as they appear to the subject, and to explore the meaning and significance of the lived experiences.” Just Look: Observe without telling the story, release bias, and let go of having to define. Just look, have no opinion or preconceived notions, and observe what's happening. Letting go of any idea of what something is or is not, try to see what is there; seeing what's there may be the most challenging thing. Can you perceive from another person's perspective? 3 Types of Attention: 1) The attention you have when you just walk down the street. When you're not focusing on anything, you're just in it/life. You know exactly what cars are, the sounds around you, and so on, and you know how to operate in it; you're not focused on anything in particular. 2) Attention that is laser-focused when you zoom in on something. 3) Hyper-reflective attention, where you see yourself see, and therefore, you can also see how others see instead of having opinions about them.

Ep 433Exploiting and Exploring(with Adam Alter)
Our environment shapes how we think, feel, and behave in ways we might not imagine. How can you create a Breakthrough? In this episode, Adam Alter (@Adam Alter), a New York Times Best Selling Author and Professor of Marketing and Psychology at NYU Stern School of Business, discusses the importance of exploitation and exploration. “For successful artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, they all do this, whether they know they're doing it or not. When you look at their careers, you see, explore, then exploit, explore and exploit. And that's a recipe for success. ” - Adam Alter Key Takeaways: Marketing and Communication: Marketing is about consumer behavior. To market anything, you want to look at how humans behave. If you want to direct their behavior in a particular way, it is best to make them feel something. All the best advertising, all the best communication, and the best appeals are grounded in making people feel something really fast. AI and Idea Generation: Chat GPT is becoming an excellent ally for generating ideas. It is through a collaborative approach to get the best ideas out of AI. You can compare Chat GPT to having 10 intelligent people in a room to brainstorm ideas with. It is a powerful and fantastic brainstorming partner. Environmental Influence: Every living being is impacted by their environment. The color of paint on a wall, the weather, and your location all impact you. Spending time in nature and natural environments is crucial to noticing how the organic world affects you compared to our more fabricated cities and towns. If you are interested in this topic, you can find many of the principles mentioned in architectural, industrial design, space design, and civil engineering. Also, a lot of cognitive psychologists study behavioral architecture, which is the idea that even your immediate environment, like the room you're sitting in, will affect the decisions you make. PBTA. Pause, Breathe, Think, and Act. This powerful practice is a way to train your brain for high-intensity or high-stress environments. It is best to practice daily in some simulation where you feel external pressure that is not putting you at risk physically, emotionally, or mentally.

Ep 432The Gateway to Growth(with Erik Korem)
We need to develop the skills that are thought to be just in the zone of genius and make them commonplace. Dr. Erik Kormen (@ErikKorem) shares his expertise on high-performance technology and innovative thinking to reach maximum human potential. He shares how to unlock the power of tracking your fitness and recovery through his revolutionary fitness tracker, AIM7. “Stress is really not the enemy. It's the gateway to growth.” - Erik Korem Key Takeaways: Coaching: A good coach helps somebody unlock their potential or pull a roadblock out of the way. They identify what their client/athlete’s strengths and weaknesses are. Coaches and teachers, mentors, advisors, and co-creators. A coaching relationship is a two-way street. The coach helps clients create a better possible future. In the process, both the athlete/client elevate the realm of possibilities and potential of life and the goals set. Adaptive Capacity: People who are the best in the world at what they do can adapt to tremendous levels of psycho-physiological stress. Part of it is genetic, and part of it is developed. So, just like any capability, people are wired with specific innate abilities, and they can constantly improve them. When someone exceeds their capacity to adapt to acute or chronic stress, they get injured, burn out, and develop physical and mental health issues. Adaptive capacity is training your stress responders so that your gas tank(resolve) is higher/bigger. This allows you to do more with less cost. Building this capacity involves five basic things: sleep, exercise, mental fitness, nutrition, and healthy relationships. Allostasis for Adaptation: When your body tries to achieve stability through change. Allostatic load is the cost that is incurred whenever you experience a stressor. Your adaptive capacity gets bigger if you can build more capacity for more allostatic load. When that happens, what once was incredibly taxing is now your baseline. There is a limit to this, but most people have yet to get close to their absolute capacity. This is, again, psycho-physical. It's both the capacity of mental processing as well as physiological processing.

Ep 431Why Therapy Isn’t Just for the “Crazy”(with Juliet Kuehnle)
Taking deep breaths is the number one coping skill that radically shifts your physiology and psychology. Who You Callin' Crazy by host and author Juliet Kuehnle (@Yep,Igototherapy). Her podcast and book's mission is to destigmatize therapy. This interview with Juliet is a passionate and playful conversation that provides applicable tools and information on how to be balanced in our minds, emotions, and bodies. “A good therapist will guide you." - Juliet Kuehnle Key Takeaways: Trifecta: Physical, mental, and emotional health is the ultimate trifecta. All these aspects of ourselves coexist. Having an emotional coach is just as important as someone teaching you how to lift weights or set goals. Radical Acceptance: Radical acceptance is a skill that we can build on. It is a dialectical behavioral therapy skill where you learn what it looks like to accept reality and not fight things out of your control. Also, how not to carry things that don't belong to you, such as emotions or opinions of others. And possibly the most important, how to cope with the uncertainty of life. Coping Skills: Did you know there are different coping skills? Here are three examples: 1. Avoidance-oriented coping skills: distracting ourselves intentionally in a positive way. 2. emotion-oriented coping skills: how to process and move through emotion (excellent to learn from a therapist). 3. Problem-oriented or solution-oriented coping skills: if there's a problem, use critical thinking to figure out how to solve and execute it. Knowing and being more intentional about these skills allows you to utilize the proper ones at the right moments. Understanding Anxiety: The foundation of anxiety in uncertainty. Many people in this fast-paced and changing world experience anxiety. Finding tools such as breath work, meditation, and visualization for centering and focusing on what you can control are all effective. Seeking therapy or a trained coach for support and learning tools is a suitable pathway.

Ep 430Unlocking Leadership Insights with John Lovell: The Warrior Poet's Guide to a Meaningful Life
We are the ones who can make the changes for a better society. Put down your phone and pick up a book. John Lovell(@JohnLovell_wps)is the CEO and founder of the Warrior Poet Society. A values-based community dedicated to physical protection, pursuit of truth, and living a higher purpose. His mission is to teach and train individuals in a life that they feel balanced and fulfilled. He's a former Army Ranger who served in the Second Ranger Battalion. He is the author of The Warrior Poets Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well. He is an outstanding public speaker and firearms instructor who has chosen the life of a homesteader on a small farm in Georgia, where he lives with his wife and two kids. “Goodness means I could be ready to die with a smile on my lips and a song in my heart." - John Lovell Key Takeaways: Adapt Your Leadership: Acknowledging that there is no turnkey way to lead individuals is a component of good leadership. Leaders need to read what drives each team member and guide them accordingly. Be flexible with your leadership style to curate meaningful and successful outcomes. Easy Leadership: Have systems that serve your organization and people in place. When you have adequate systems, and your people love and appreciate you as a leader, they want you to win. Once you have people’s loyalty, they will do their best to anticipate what you need before you ask for it. This makes it easier to be a leader. To create this environment, you have to honestly care about the people around you and try to know them so they reciprocate and put in the effort to know you. Warrior Poet: Someone who lives for a higher purpose and is ready to sacrifice to defend others. It's someone who recognizes that you should be entirely a lover and a fighter. You should be fully a lion and fully a lamp. You should be both. To be deficient in either is a deficiency in both because a real warrior protects, a real warrior loves, and a real lover protects. Protection and love flow into each other, and it is a requirement to balance out a person. Face Your Death: It is unnecessary to put yourself in harm's way to access the teaching of facing your mortality. This can be a meditation instead of actual life circumstances. Meditate on your own demise. Ask yourself exactly what's worth living for. What would you immediately declutter if you discovered today was your last day? Now, 1-2-3, go and make the changes so each action you make is towards the stuff that really matters.

Ep 429Always Hope(with Tim Timberlake)
Life has a way of reminding us that we have a desperate need to rest. And this gravitational pull to reset, arrest, slow down the pace, and focus our life on what matters most. Hope architect Tim Timberlake(@TTimberlake) is the Senior Pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida. He's a tremendously gifted communicator and teacher who inspires folks from all walks of life. He is known for his sense of humor and in-depth teaching, which gives listeners and readers the tools to transform their lives from the inside out. Tim is the author of The Power of 1440. His latest book, The Art of Overcoming, was an instant bestseller and a fantastic guide for navigating life's turbulent waters. (919)-568-5873 is the number of Tim Timberlake(@TTimberlake). Text him if you need words of encouragement. Tim is the Senior Pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida. He's the author of The Power of 1440. His latest book, The Art of Overcoming, was an instant bestseller and a wonderful guide for navigating life's turbulent waters. All walks of life are invited to visit his church and teachings so that they can discover their faith through lived experience. “I have a very black-and-white view of the Bible, I believe that the Bible is true. I believe that what Jesus states in the Bible is both applicable and life-changing and transformational for those that lean into it.” - Tim Timberlake Key Takeaways: Insecurities Louder than Confidences: Is it possible that we(ourselves) are our most significant challenge to overcome? If we're not careful, our insecurities scream louder than our confidence. Insecurities can lead and dictate and even try to determine what we do. So we have to learn not just to navigate but really wrestle with our insecurities, anxieties, worries, and fears because those things can become walls that hinder us from advancing in this life. Build your confidence by celebrating the small wins, following through with your goals, and staying optimistic regardless of your current circumstances. Forgiveness: When we hold onto resentment, it puts us in a place where we are hostage to something in the past that is outside our control. Frequently, the person we are harboring unforgiveness towards isn't even thinking about what they did to us; they're on to the next thing. It is vital to get beyond this unforgiveness. Forgive so that you can start, initiate, and activate the healing process. This frees us from being prisoners to something that someone else did. Celebrating Differences: People have different perspectives of right/wrong or good/bad. Our overall lived experiences are different. Our differences should not be a divisive tool that brings further separation. Our differences must be discussed, and we come to some understanding and agreement. Spread love instead of divisiveness. The 3 of Overcoming: 1: Acknowledge that you need assistance and overcoming. The reality is that we may run faster alone, but we will run longer alongside someone else. Talk to people and get resources. 2: Get plugged into a community, some type of life-giving community that feeds you and fills you, and allows you to give to yourself and others. 3: Give yourself the same grace you would give other people if you were helping them go through a crisis.

Ep 428Being Relational (with Jayson Gaddis)
The most effective way to de-stress a kid when upset is through another person to co-regulate into eye contact. Relationship expert and coach Jayson Gaddis(@JaysonGaddis) advocates for us to remember that life is relational. Shining his talents as an artist, author, podcaster, speaker, and executive coach, he developed The Relationship School, where he trained over 200 coaches in 11 countries. His book Getting to Zero: How to Work Through Conflict in Your High Stakes Relationship was voted editor's choice, best nonfiction, and best leadership and business book in 2021 on Amazon. Jayson Gaddis(@JaysonGaddis) believes in being relational with self and others, which ignites openhearted living. Jayson's an artist, author, and executive coach. As CEO and founder of The Relationship School, he is passionate and prepared to train and support anyone ready to break unhealthy patterns and liberate themselves in relationships. He has trained over 200 coaches in 11 countries as a relationship expert. He's got a fantastic book called Getting to Zero: How to Work through Conflict in Your High Stakes Relationship. “Depending on what you want, right, like a guy has to look, if I want good sex, if I want a heart connection, if I want my kids to trust me, if I want to be a trustworthy leader, most of us are more and more drawn to heart-centered leaders.” - Jayson Gaddis Key Takeaways: Head, Heart, & Hands: Jnana, Bhakti, and Karma are the paths of wisdom, devotion, and action/service. Many people pick just one to live their lives and evolve by. When striving for integration and integral living, having all three areas developed and aligned is where balance is found. Emotional Health: Being Metally clear and focused is directly tied to emotional awareness and resiliency. Heart-centered leaders are needed and desired in the new marketplace, home, and communities. Due to society's conditioning, taking the reigns of your emotional landscape is essential. At this tipping point on the planet, it is vital to acknowledge the emotional numbing that we have been conditioned to, to connect with your own heart intelligence, and to allow yourself to be open and vulnerable to connect with others in authenticity and love. Being vs. Doing in Relationships: Presence in a relationship is not a box to be checked. People can smell the bullshit from a mile away. To participate in conversations and authentically listen, the first step is empathy. The second step is recognizing that negative attitudes and lack of presence potentially negatively impact people. If you want to be successful in leadership, as a relational leader, or in your home, you must be sensitive to impact and consider other people's feelings as you walk through the world. Slowing Down to Connect: Connection takes slowing down from the hustle and opening your heart in the moment with another person. To make contact with another person, put away your devices, look in their eyes, and take a breath.

Ep 427Technology, Demographics, and Economics(with Mauro Guillén)
People need to shift into a new mindset when it comes to the ideas of career, education, and retirement. The model that society has been operating from is becoming obsolete. Vice Dean at the Wharton, Mauro Guillén (@LinkedIn), and best-selling author’s work encourages us to look at our lives. His new book, The Perennials: The Megatrends Creating a Post-Generational Society, invites people to rethink the timeline and attitude toward careers, family, and future plans. Mauro is an expert in global market trends and is highly sought after as a speaker and consultant. Mauro Guillén (@LinkedIn) is one of the Wall Street Journal's best-selling authors. His book 2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything is considered groundbreaking for the fields of futurism and economics. He promotes original thinking as the Vice Dean at Wharton Business School. He's won multiple teaching awards and has recently released a new book, The Perennials: The Megatrends Creating a Post-Generational Society, which is an invitation for people to rethink the timeline and attitude toward careers, family, and future plans. “I think many of the problems that we're encountering right now have to do with the fact that we have been organizing our lives in the wrong way. ” - Mauro Guillén Key Takeaways: Futurism and Mindset Change: We need to change our mindset as things are shifting fast in all areas of human life. The economy and our technological advances are requiring us to be flexible. We cannot continue to live our lives according to the old ways. We need to change the way we run ourselves and or our lives. The only possible response to change is change itself. If people remain static while our environment changes, we will quickly be out of whack. Flexibility in Life's Timeline: Communities need to address the groups of disadvantaged people, such as but not limited to women, high school dropouts, teenage mothers, and people who went through the foster care system. The current evolution of how we develop in life doesn't fit or help these groups. The main reason is that they need more time than the average trajectory of growing up, attending college, and getting a job. Also, they need more flexibility to adjust to do well in life. We need our leaders to lead on this proactively and functionally. Staying Relevant: Everyone and anyone who wants to contribute to society in the next 20-30 years needs to learn about all the new technologies, not so much in terms of how they work, but more in terms of what the implications of those technologies for all the different functional areas within our organizational structures. For example, AI has changed finance, education, and marketing. We must ask how these changes affect the organization and how we interact as human beings. Learn Social Skills: Technical skills are essential. However, increasingly, AI will be able to handle many tasks/jobs that humans currently do. What is harder to learn and becoming increasingly more critical are strong social skills. What is your capacity to work in teams, engage in negotiations, your emotional intelligence, and your overall ability to communicate? The current research data indicates that these social skills are becoming crucial in the American and other labor markets worldwide.

Ep 426Psychedelics and Religion (with Mathew Weintrub)
You don't fight evil with evil, and you don't fight power or force with force. You draw attention away from the darkness by ignoring it and doing what's right. This passionate author and activist, Matthew Weintrub (@heytrub), is about healing Mother Earth and the human family. As a psychedelic medicine activist and author of The Psychedelic Origin of Religion, he is a driving force in the modern psychedelic movement. Matthew has helped many people find healing and transformation. He continues to inspire others through his writing, collaborations, and presence. Hayulima is a psychedelic sanctuary for the people. Matthew Weintrub (@heytrub) invites you to visit for healing and transformation. As an author of The Psychedelic Origin of Religion, Matthew is one of the pioneers of the modern psychedelic movement. His passion is to heal America by asking that everyone have the right to practice their religion freely and without consequence. “We need to restore the right to heal with God's natural medicines, the psychedelic plant medicines. And I believe when we do that, we will put this country back on a path to salvation. ” - Matt Weintrub Key Takeaways: Domination Government: We have reached a point where our US government is no longer honoring the right to practice religion freely. We, the people, need to uphold the US Constitution for all people. Citizens need to wake up and see that they are being distracted and misinformed. And each day, freedoms are being stripped away. It is easy to take away a right/freedom but harder to get it back. Imagine: “Imagine all the people living for today.” A prolific writer and artist John Lennon offered one of the best prayers for the world. This song is an excellent meditation on the possibility of everyone coming together to heal and unite. Imagine: By John Lennon Appropriation of Plant Medicine: As psychedelics become more mainstream in the Western world, it is crucial to be aware of the colonialistic mind and how it commandeers things as its own when indigenous cultures have been practicing and using the medicines for years. It is important to build alliances with chiefs from indigenous nations to respect the lineages. The Herd of One: In many indigenous cultures, there is the mentality of what someone does to their neighbor, they do to themself. This way of life applies to healing oneself as well. The perspective is that in a healing circle, or ceremony, the individual (the herd of one) is everyone (the herd of all). Indigenous cultures believe that we heal together and make the whole world better by healing ourselves.

Ep 425Deliberate and Aware (with Aaron De Smet)
Being out of control of something we want to control and fix is a recipe for disaster. When we try to control things, we often react in ways that are ultimately not helpful and can be self-destructive. Much of Aaron De Smet’s(@AaronDeSmet) work focuses on helping large distributed organizations to achieve growth, innovation, productivity, and organizational agility. Aaron co-authored Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World. He has been consulting for many years at McKinsey and in prior years at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is also an expert on organizational design, corporate culture, and leadership development. Aaron De Smet(@AaronDeSmet) counsels leadership teams as they transform their organizations to improve performance, organizational health, speed, and agility. He holds a P.H.D. from Columbia University, where he studied organizational psychology and business. His expertise spans several industries, including agriculture, biotechnology, chemicals, and transformational change. “The world has become so interconnected that one small thing somewhere can have surprising effects in ways we hadn't imagined” - Aaron De Smet Key Takeaways: Self Awareness in Leadership: Self-awareness is a positive attribute regardless of where you are. Professionally it elevates your ability to be present and problem-solve in VUCA environments. There is always complexity when working with other people. On a team, self-awareness always helps, no matter how cognitively taxing it might be. Defining Self-Awareness: When experts talk about self-awareness, they don’t just mean the metacognition of personal understanding of what we are thinking and how we think about it. They emphasize that we need to understand that there might be potentially subconscious emotions that are sitting there that are guiding or biasing us. These unconscious drivers can actually be brought into awareness. When we merge the conscious and surface the unconscious, we are more fully self-aware and self-knowledgeable. Changes in the Workplace: Even pre-pandemic, the desire for more flexibility regarding when and where one works was on the rise. The reasoning for “going into an office” has changed. The files, phones, and meeting place no longer have to be in one location. Also, what people see as desirable for a career in these next generations, Gen Z and beyond, has shifted. Triggers of Grief: Grief doesn’t happen only when we lose a loved one. Grieving is a process everybody goes through psychologically whenever they feel a sense of loss of something loved or cherished. This loss could be a loved one, a pet, an experience, or even a favorite restaurant closing that there was a felt emotional connection to, and the place was loved and cherished. So grief can be the loss of any loved or cherished thing.

Ep 423Happiness is Good (with Dr. Robert Waldinger)
Nonstop happiness doesn't exist for any human being on the planet. Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School Dr. Robert Waldinger (@Dr.Waldinger) believes in nurturing relationships for overall health. Dr. Waldinger co-founded the Lifespan Research Foundation and is a practicing psychiatrist and Zen master or Roshi. His book, The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study on Happiness, is an excellent look at what keeps us all happy, healthy, and thriving. Author and Professor Dr. Robert Waldinger's (@Dr. Waldinger) book, The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study on Happiness, is a must-read. The study started in 1938 and continues to this day. Dr. Waldinger is a Zen Roshi, practicing psychiatrist, researcher, and professor. He understands that happiness isn't attainable every day. However, he encourages us to be proactive to live an extraordinary life with as much of it as possible. “All it is is the stuff we do every day, if we give it our full attention, everything pops with an aliveness that normally we miss.” - Dr. Robert Waldinger Key Takeaways: Personality vs. Ego: Ego is different than personality. The ego is the identification with our sense of self. At the same time, everyone has the conditioning of a personality. When you start moving away from being identified with self and living from the witness, you can bring source spirit into your personality. We want to have a personality, just not be overidentified or attached to it, as that is the ego. Meditation Has Differnt Forms: Sitting meditation is only suitable for some. Some people find it aversive to meditate. However, we can all benefit from a practice that makes us come into presence. For some people, breathing, martial arts, or anything they're very present at is a form of meditation. Whatever brings you into presence, whatever gets you out of the thought loops that we're constantly caught up in, and helps you keep coming back to presence is meditation. The Happiness Project’s Greatest Finding: Taking care of our health matters. Your happiness, health, and how long you live are correlated. The Happiness Project found that one of the most powerful predictors of who does well throughout life is connected to taking care of the physical body. The other significant finding is having loving, warm, and connected relationships impacts your health positively. People in healthy and happy relationships live longer. And, it stands to reason if you have good relationships, you'll be happier. Social Fitness: Social fitness is like physical fitness. It is a constant act of effort and showing up. Studies have shown that perfectly good friendships and family relationships will atrophy, just like muscles, from inattention from neglect. Amall efforts over and over again, like doing 15 minutes of walking or weight training regularly, keep those connections vibrant and alive. It helps to work on relationships like physical fitness to keep them strong and healthy.

Ep 422Distractions Begin Within (with Nir Eyal)
Be inspired, and don't measure your success by how many boxes get checked off on a to-do list. Stop making to-do lists and start mapping out your day with how much time you will spend on each task you are committed to doing. Technology is a tool that can help build healthy and lasting habits, according to author and consultant Nir Eyal (@NirEyal). Nir’s groundbreaking book Hooked is a guide to building products people use because they want to, not because they have to. In his new book Indistractable, Nir teaches from the intersection of psychology, technology, and business to lead us to what is possible if we follow through on our best intentions, stay focused, and overcome distractions. Nir Eyal (@Nir Eyal) writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. A Graduate of Stanford School of Business and crusader for utilizing technology to build unique and healthy habits, Nir has written two books, Hooked and Indistratable. Both books are rooted in research and passion for the betterment of humanity. Nir lives in Singapore with his wife and daughter. “Just because it's a work-related task, doesn't mean it's not a distraction.” - Nir Eyal Key Takeaways: Real Distractions Begin Within: We tend to blame our phones, computers, kids, boss, and all external things like that. But studies find that external distractions are only 10% of what pulls us away from our focused tasks. The other 90% of our distractions are internal triggers. For example, if you overeat, often it is the internal distraction of a feeling—feelings like loneliness, boredom, shame, etc. Distractions begin from within. Addiction vs. Habit: Addiction is defined as a persistent compulsive dependency on a behavior or substance that harms the user. There is no such thing as a good addiction. By definition, addictions are destructive. Habits are defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice. We want good habits in our life. We all have good habits or bad habits. All Products are Used to Modulate Mood: Apps and other products we use are designed to activate our internal triggers. Internal triggers are born from an uncomfortable emotional state we seek to escape. Boredom, loneliness, fatigue, desire, curiosity, and uncertainty is what habit-forming products attach themselves to. Whenever you feel an emotion, you become internally activated to use a product such as an app, device, or item. Find products that empower you to build healthy habits and live a good life. Traction and Distraction: What do traction and distraction mean? The opposite word to distraction is traction. Traction and distraction both come from the same Latin root, traho, which means to pull. Traction, by definition, is any action that pulls you toward what you said you would do—the opposite of traction is distraction. Distraction is any action that pulls you away from what you plan to do, from your values and goals, and from becoming the person you want to become. The difference between what is traction and distraction is to decide in advance how we want to spend our time.

Ep 421Awakening Human Consciousness (with Lion Goodman)
A lot of our beliefs have been given to us by our parents, because of their circumstances and their beliefs and their philosophy of life and their culture. A subconscious pattern detective, belief therapist, healer of the psyche, Lion Goodman (@LionGoodman) has been known and sought after because he evokes the best in others. He is the founder and CEO of the Clear Beliefs Institute, a company dedicated to awakening, healing, and enlightening humanity so we can get on with the job of being fully human. As a coach and author Lion is working in collaboration to create a world that works for everyone to create a sustainable and thriving planetary civilization. Lion Goodman (@LionGoodman) survived being shot 4 times in the head and came out from the experience with a deep understanding of human consciousness. He is the author of five books. His book, Clear Your Beliefs, is a guide and manual for how to uncover your subconscious drivers and step into a new system of conscious understanding. “My favorite saying that I've heard is things are getting better and better, and worse and worse, in more and more places faster and faster.” - Lion Goodman Key Takeaways: Multidimensional Existence: We are multidimensional beings. In this moment, you are seeing, hearing, feeling, and touching in your body and in your experience. We are constantly looking through this technology of senses and perception. This technology allows us to connect. We are physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, and energetic beings; we have all these things going on simultaneously. Pattern Recognition: We start forming before we have language. A baby in the womb can recognize the difference between the mother's and father's voices. And it's the pattern recognition system that begins to build a self. We start to develop the identity of this is who I am, what I do, and how I respond to people. Beliefs are all of the patterns that have been set from when we were in the womb. We can recognize these subconscious patterns, bring them to the surface, and change our operating systems. Try on Beliefs: Your beliefs create your experience. If we can realize this, we can begin to try on views and see how they feel, just like you would try on different outfits. You can also try on other people's beliefs, which can help you create empathy. Beliefs that don't serve you can be put down, and you can create new and empowering ones. Historical and Present Perception: Historically, belonging and figuring out how to exist in the social system was crucial for survival. A driving instinct 16,000 years ago was, how do I be in this environment and make it safe? These ideas of looking around, seeing the problems, and then solving them were crucial to our development as humans. In today's world, humans are still doing this. It is baked into our humanity to see where the problems are and then to solve them.

Ep 420The DNA of The Organization (with Matt Mayberry)
Culture is at its core behavior at scale. You want people who behave the same way whether the CEO is in the room or not. Former NFL player, International speaker, author, and expert in leadership development, Matt Mayberry (@Matt Mayberry) utilizes his professional athletic experience to inform how culture change can impact organizational performance. His new book, Culture is The Way is a hands-on blueprint for leaders to elevate employee engagement and breed a culture for peak productivity. After recovering from drug addiction and losing his lifelong dream of being a professional baseball player, Matt Mayberry (@Matt Mayberry) turned his life into gold. He found his way to the NFL with the help of loving parents, wonderful mentors, and a positive mindset. Only getting to play one game due to a permanent injury, Matt once again turned lemons into lemonade and has become a sought-after educator, speaker, and consultant on business culture and team productivity. “In order to fully impact another life, you first have to impact your life and become a lifelong learner.” - Matt Mayberry Key Takeaways: Your 5 Closest Friends: Motivational speaker Jim Rohn is known in many circles for saying, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” Although this may seem cliche many times, there is truth and weight to that statement. If you are in a place in life where you want to make positive changes, pay attention to the people around you and how it is taking away from or assisting you in your future vision. Vulnerability: Vulnerability from a parent, mentor, teacher, or friend can ignite compassion and understanding within ourselves. More and more research shows that leaders succeed more with employee retention and productivity when they show up authentic and vulnerable. Perception: There are more than two perspectives in any given situation. Staying curious and appreciating the different points of view that each of us brings into environments allows the development of organizations and the individuals on the team to innovate and create multifaceted offerings. Perception change for hiring, culture at work, and communication is worth entertaining if you feel stuck as a leader. Make Opinions Matter: Creating a trusting environment for a strong team of employees builds trust when people know that they have a voice and that it counts. The leaders that understand the significance of that and operate with a deeper purpose to what they do in the business world, and a sense in the market, are beginning to understand that we're not just in business to use employees to build the company. They are in business also to develop their people. Promotions: Wild Health Wild Health just opened 10 spots in their Premium Program for MARK DIVINE SHOW listeners.

Ep 419Culture and Experiential Learning (with Dr. Soren Kaplan)
Rapid learning is important, and seeing that there is no such thing as failure. That doesn’t mean you don’t fail. It just means you see failure as an opportunity to learn. Culture is a buzzword many of us don’t know how to define. Award-winning and best-selling author Dr. Soren Kaplan(@Dr.SorenKaplan) has made it one of his missions to educate individuals and companies on how to be a high-level cooperative culture. Dr. Kaplan is a columnist for Inc Magazine and an affiliate at The Center for Effective Organizations at USC’s Marshall School of Business. He's led strategy and innovation at HP, Hewlett Packard. And advises and delivers leadership programs to thousands of executives around the world. Best-selling author of the groundbreaking book Experiential Intelligence Dr. Soren Kaplan (@Dr.SorenKaplan) has found that everyone has dormant gifts that can be utilized in the workplace. Soren’s work has appeared in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, CNBC, NPR, Strategy & Leadership, The International Handbook on Innovation, and many other academic and popular business media. At the age of 13, he won the first-ever video game contest on the Commodore 64 computer. “ Create mentoring opportunities, create an innovation team. You don't want just the season people on it. You want the young, new, you know, kind of up-and-comers in it. And that diversity of age as well and experience is also important.” - Dr. Soren Kaplan Key Takeaways: Cross-Generational Mentorship: There is a huge exodus of people in their 60s leaving the workforce that takes a vast amount of skills and knowledge with them. It is important for companies and individuals to rethink the retirement and onboarding of new talent. The wise thing to do is pair the older generations with the younger ones through mentorship and coaching so that the skills and knowledge of those leaving the workforce get passed down. Defining Culture: Culture can be an amorphous term. Culture is, at its root, the norms and values that shape behavior. And those norms and values oftentimes fly under the radar. Defining or creating culture is a simple cycle; People have experiences, and those experiences shape their beliefs about right or wrong behavior. These beliefs shape people’s behavior. Leaders can intervene and create new and different experiences for people and allow the art of communication, discovery, and interaction to lead the team to define their culture. Going Deep Increases Productivity: Whether we are aware of it or not, we all bring our whole selves to work. In order to increase productivity letting go of the old model of compartmentalizing who you are or have to be at work is liberating and increases productivity. Many people have hidden abilities and talents that are not listed on their resumes. Getting to know the people you work with or work for and their untapped abilities increases creativity and job retention. Experiential Learning: In essence, we all have to practice coping while growing up. The street or social smarts we develop as we live build skills that can be applied to that 10,000 Hour Rule, whether we're doing formal or informal stuff. This experiential learning is an opportunity to acknowledge informal skills that get overlooked. And companies can leverage them if they let go of some of the old rules of what an applicant should have on their resume.

Ep 418You Are a Social Creation (with Dr. Brian Lowery)
You can expand yourself and your sense of the world in ways that will be surprising to you, stay curious, and take the time to understand the depth of those around you. Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University Dr. Brian Lowery (@Dr. Brian Lowery) is a social psychologist whose new book, Selfless: The Social Creation of You, presents a provocative, powerful theory of identity, arguing that there is no essential "self"—our selves are social creations of those with whom we interact. He is passionate about the global discussion of equity and how each individual perceives life through the lens of having advantages vs. disadvantages. His work is one of inquiry where he asks you, the student, skeptic, or reader, to come to your own conclusions after entertaining his research, ideas, and assertions. Advocate, social psychologist, and author Dr. Brian Lowery(@ Dr. Brian Lowery) is Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University. He has been an important voice in discussing white privilege and investigating social, institutional, and personal bias from learned or lived experience. His new book, Selfless: The Social Creation of You, is based on empirical science that reads with unintentional notes of Buddhism. “The self is kind of like a time machine. You can think about the past through the self of who are you right now!” - Dr. Brian Lowery Key Takeaways: Engaging with People: We are the center of our own world and our life regarding our experiences. Your experiences are deep, interesting, and broad. All people on this planet's experiences are deep, interesting, and broad. Engaging with people with this mindset will enrich your life. Consider Who You Are: The Self is flexible, fluid, and changing over time. Consider what that means. How does the Self change? Also, how do you want the Self to change? What kind of situations will produce the type of change you'd like to have? Notice how your relationships impact the direction you are evolving because relationships are a fundamental part of being human. To be human is to be in relation with other human beings and your environment. Responsibility as a Leader: As a leader (and we are all leading whether we are aware of this agency or not), what you do or don’t do impacts everyone around you. Being a leader is not something to ignore. All of us are affecting those around us. When you engage with people in various situations, as a leader, pay attention to your and their desires. This attention will help you be responsible for those people and the outcomes you are co-creating together. Small Interactions are Meaningful: The brief conversation you have in line at the grocery store can and does have meaning. You can expand yourself and your sense of the world in ways that will be surprising to you if you take the small interactions you have day to day more seriously. When you talk with people, ask them real questions, and listen to what they say. You don't have to agree with it, and you don't have to like them even. But if you listen, you will find something there for you in that brief moment or their answer. The Sameness in Everybody: You get to know and develop more self-awareness through meditation. When you go deep within yourself, you understand that there is a sameness and synchronicity with everyone you meet. That's the essence of spiritual practices to touch into what makes us alive and creates us. Promotions: Kion You can now save 20% on monthly deliveries and 10% on one-time purchases.

Ep 417Take Agency of Your Attention Span (with Dr. Gloria Mark)
It's really important to become aware of your own attentional capacity and understand when your tank is starting to get low. Our attention has become a commodity and is getting hijacked by technology. Dr. Gloria Mark (@Dr.GloriaMark) is the author of a groundbreaking book called Attention Span. Attention Span is a must-read as it covers Dr. Mark's decades of research into how our minds have been affected in the digital age. Gloria received her Ph.D. from Columbia University in psychology. She studies the impact of digital media on people's lives. Her work is a deep dive into examining multitasking, interruptions, mood, and productivity due to digital devices becoming so intricate in our lives. She has published over 200 articles and has presented her work at multiple venues. Author and Creative Dr. Gloria Mark(@Dr.GloriaMark) is a Chancellor's professor of Informatics at the University of California Irvine. She has published and presented her work in venues such as the Aspen Ideas Festival, and it's appeared in popular media such as New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, Atlantic, and more. Her new book, Attention Span is a must-read as it covers Dr. Mark’s decades of research into how our minds have been affected in the digital age. “We have a limited set of attentional resources, or it's been called mental resources or cognitive resources. And you can think of it as your attentional capacity. And it's limited, these resources are limited, and they're very precious.” - Dr. Gloria Mark Key Takeaways: 3 Types of Attention: Intentional attention is when you use your mental focus to do an activity such as writing, lifting weights, or scuba diving. Exogenous attention, or the default mode network, is when we respond to things outside of us. Kinetic attention is shifting from an iPhone to a computer or from one screen to another. Recent studies show that most people average 40 seconds per screen. Technology as and Extension of Self: Devices like cellular phones and computers have become an extension of ourselves. Our lives have become intimately intertwined with their devices in this modern age. However, where is the line, and how can we draw it? Learning to be sovereign from our devices and drawing a healthy line for our identity is important. Switch Cost: Every time you switch your attention, you incur an extra cost in time. Imagine you have an internal whiteboard in your mind and are writing everything you need for a specific task; if you switch in the middle of that list, you are erasing the board for the new task you have changed to. Therefore, when you return to the first task, it takes longer to reorient yourself. Multitasking or switching focus takes time and creates exhaustion and a lack of clarity. Saying No in Service to Your Yes: Monotasking, a good night's sleep, and taking breaks throughout your day allows you to have balanced energy levels and replenish them if needed. Knowing how to say no in service to your bigger yes will allow you to be clear on what tasks/commitments are important and which ones you need to let go of or delegate to others.

Ep 416Play and Presence (with Angelo Keely)
There is value in having fun and evolving oneself while being dedicated to a vision through hard work and play. Curiosity and drive are two of the key tools in successful entrepreneurship. Angelo Keely(@AngeloKeely) is passionate about both of these tools. His background in religious studies, both western and eastern, help frame his mindset whenever he begins a new endeavor. Angelo is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kion, a nutritional supplement company that is focused on bringing the best product to the public. Co-Founder and CEO of Kion Angelo Keely (@AngeloKeely), created the company motivated by the mission to support athletes. Kion brings the highest grade ingredients in delicious and simple supplementation for muscle health and development. Angelo is passionate about staying in motion and living a fulfilling life. His belief is that success means loving and healthy relationships with himself, family, and peers. “ There's no free lunch. Same thing with business, there's no way to just like make tons of money in the super easy way. Maybe like out of luck. Same thing with health. There's no magic secret to health.” - Angelo Keely Key Takeaways: Embodiment: As our world becomes more and more mechanistic and digital it is important to stay embodied. Embodiment is a daily practice of using our physical body through exercise and presence. Developing somatic awareness is multilayered and essential to live an embodied life. Meditation, Health, and Nature: Meditation is not a goal oriented practice. It is a practice of learning how to be with oneself regardless of the circumstances of the mind. Meditation in nature is a fulfilling combination to regenerate and create more harmony and balance throughout the body. If your physical body is not healthy enough that may limit spiritual or mental or other types of development. Being in nature, your breath, and your thoughts, will eventually get you to a point where you develop an honest relationship with yourself. Amino Acids: There are nine essential amino acids that help the body build healthy muscle. The supplementation of amino acids is a proficient way of giving your body what it needs as a fuel to build strong and healthy muscle mass. Amino acids create all of the new muscle protein synthesis. Once you consume essential amino acids, either as a supplement or as a whole food protein, your body enters a process of muscle protein synthesis that lasts about three hours. Personal Commitments: One of the themes that is pervading the wellness industry is commitment. The question to ask oneself is who are you committed to being? What are your core values, ethics, and beliefs? Living in integrity through those commitments means that they are at the forefront of all your words and actions Kion You can now save 20% on monthly deliveries and 10% on one-time purchases.

Ep 415Preventative Training for Mental Health (with Mark Bouchard)
We train police and military how to overcome the challenges of being physically safe. It's time to show them tools of how to overcome the psychological impact and challenges from being in the field as an active duty officer. Police and Military personal have a higher rate of suicide than the civilian population. Mark Bouchard (@MarkBouchard) is currently with Canada's national police force, the RCMP. He was a SWAT operator and a medic who has developed a passion for mental health after suffering his own psychological injury back in 2015. Mark has taught dozens of mental health training sessions and spent seven years as a peer support member. His new book, Setting My Sights On Stigma: Thoughts From an Injured Mind, is an offering of information on how to navigate and heal from the psychological injuries from being on the front line. Mark Bouchard (@MarkBouchard) is creating a course on police culture and lethal force decisions for The First Responder Behavioral Health Institute. His new book, Setting My Sights On Stigma: Thoughts From an Injured Mind, is an offering of information on how to navigate and heal from the psychological injuries of being on the front line. Mark is a father, mental health advocate, and active duty police officer in the Canadian national force. “The reality is, everyone is different in their versions of the impact of trauma, whether it's PTSD, depression, anxiety, they'll be impacted in different ways, and different treatments can help them.” - Mark Bouchard Key Takeaways: Destigmatizing PTSD: PTSD is a diagnosis that can trap many in feeling helpless, less than, and out of control. Leaders in the military and police services are fighting to destigmatize the negative connotations of this diagnosis so that people do not feel afraid to come forward and get the help they need. The New Way: Drinking too much alcohol and eating to deal with stress has been acceptable coping mechanisms in many professional communities. It is becoming common knowledge that these behaviors only add more stress on the mental, physical and emotional bodies. The new way is a path of healing and health and it works; get good sleep, eat well, journal thoughts and feelings, and get support. Psychological Preventative Training: Suicide is becoming more common for active duty police and military. It is becoming obvious and urgent that police and military programs implement preventative psychological training for new recruits. Preventative training can help educate personnel in the forces on PTSD, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation so they know what is happening if it comes up and how to get help. People Who Love to Serve: When you ask new recruits going into the military or police fields why they want to join the force. The #1 answer is, “to help people”. Most people go into the field of policing or military because they truly want to be of service to the community, state, and country.
