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 o
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 begi
Liz Wiseman: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter
The job you take is not that relevant. What really is relevant who you work for because your first boss out of school or any boss you work for. That person is going to shape your career opportunities far more than that job description. Go work for a growing company because where there’s growth there’s opportunity. And also a lot of sins are forgiven in growth environments. – Liz WisemanLiz Wiseman teaches leadership to executives and emerging leaders around the world. She is the President of The
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 HillGraham hails from the small town of Sutton, Quebec, Canada. He has a Bachelor of Architecture with distinction from Car
Erik Van Alstine: The Power of Perceptual Intelligence
<!–StartFragment–><!–StartFragment–>
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

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 experi
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.
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 somethi
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 entre
Charlie Hoehn: 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
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 s
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
Dan Lerner: The Science of Happiness, Peformance, and Well Being
Don’t expect to be a world changer in the next 5 years. If you do your setting yourself up for maybe success on stage, but failure off. If you really want to pursue a life that’s interesting, that’s purposeful, that’s fulfilling, know that it might take a while longer. And those things that you’re really interested in will come together in due course. Just don’t set your bar so high that it’s absolutely unreachable. – Dan Lerner Transformative, forward-thi
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 t
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
Jordan Harbinger: Exploring Social Dynamics
There are influencers in your office. There are influencers in every social circle, entrepreneur circle. We just don’t think of it as such because it’s bit depressing to think of it that way. But there’s a lot to be said for these influencers and decision makers. 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…. You see that in most offices. Very rarely is it
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
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
Joe Goodkin: Using Music to Tell Your Story
In this episode, of the podcast we speak with professional guitarist Joe Goodkin about using music to tell stories. We do a deep dive into the creative process of song writing and Joe shares his lessons on what it takes to become a touring musician in this day and age.

He tours the country performing his one-man folk-opera interpretation of Homer’s Odyssey (over 200 performances in over 30 states) and for years released music under the name
Khe Hy: Unwinding Cultural Narratives
Whenever you get to that point, whether it’s a promotion, whether it’s a bonus, yes it feels good for a couple minutes. You realize the fleeting nature of external achievement. Don’t get me wrong having more money is a good thing. It makes life easier. But the marginal utility of an extra dollar flatlines at about 85,000 dollars. It’s not the millions and billions of dollars that bring that shift in happiness. Khe Hy is the creator of Rad Reads, a spiritual guide to Wall Street executives a
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 s
Garrett Gunderson: Moving from Scarcity to Abundance
Money is a byproduct. It’s a byproduct of value creation. Really the biggest way to deliver that value is to create a compelling vision. I think vision is the rarest commodity that there is in the world. When we’re in scarcity it’s hard to have vision. But if you can be more abundant, what you realize is that vision is what drives the most value. – Garrett GundersonGarrett Gunderson is Founder and Chief Wealth Architect of Wealth Factory, and New York Times bestselling author of Killing Sacred C
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
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,
Sid Mohasseb: Evolving into the Best Version of Yourself
“We are here to experiment and to learn. If that is the purpose, then we have to constantly evolve to our own best version. You could call that changing. You could all that evolving. You could call it a natural process. When we don’t, we lose our creativity, we lose our momentum, we lose our place in the world, and we lose our purpose in the world, whatever that is. It’s unique for everybody and it’s different ” – Sid MohassebSid Mohasseb serial entrepreneur, venture investor, university pr
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. Scott Cramton is the founder of Atmospheric Entertainment. He believes in crafting unforgettable immersive experiences t
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
Leveraging Physiology for Human Performance with Greg Wells
If there’s one thing that I could pick that would determine whether or not would reach peak performance, and this after going to 3 Olympics as a media person and working with a couple hundred Olympians, and a dozen expeditions around the world to do crazy stuff… One thing that I would say determines your failure or success in a critical moment of performance is whether or not you’re focused. If you are on task, you have no distractions, doing what you need to be doing and what you’re doing is re
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. Creativity evokes emo
