Below are the points Derek & Gage discussed on this episode.

When we interact better with others everyone's life is better.

 

1. Listen More, Talk Less

Practice speaking less in conversations. Ask good questions. Show an interest in listening to the other person talk.

 

2. Watch Your Face (improve your body language)

Think about your eye contact, posture, if your phone is out, and more. We all know that non-verbal communication is huge!

 

3. Don't Be a Jerk

We think this one is pretty self-explanatory. But, be kind. By loving others & treating them well, we make the world a better place.

 

This week's challenge: pick one of the three above to work on actively. Share your results with us by emailing [email protected].

Do you know someone who is critical about everything? If not, it is probably you. How's that feel?

In this episode, we talk about why people are critical. Have you ever heard of the word, neuroplasticity? We discuss how being critical turns you into a soul-sucking vampire. Finally, we share how life can be better with a positive outlook.

Challenge: This coming week, identify positive things around you & share them with people. Focus on the good!

In this episode I’ll tell a story about throwing up during a fitness video + we talk about why insane diets never work! Well, not just that - but I do make fun of vegans. Most importantly, we go over some practical ways to make life better each day.

Our challenge this week is to identify & work on our 1% better. It’s 3 steps:

1)Pick one area to improve.

2)Decide what 1% better looks like in that area.

3)Schedule a weekly meeting to review how you’re doing.
