Develop this skill and you will be a better leader. 

If we show up in the world with a lack of love, we will find it in all the wrong places. 

This week I am joined by David Florence, wellness consultant, breath work coach and host of “The Evolution of Dave” YouTube channel. On a night out with his work colleagues, David got a bang to his head that left him out of it for six hours but this served as a catalyst for change as he began to search for better mental and physical health.

David began documenting his journey on his YouTube channel as he experimented with many tools and techniques to improve his health and as the channel nicely describes, as he evolves, his community evolves too. His channel has amassed almost 1 million views.

In this episode you will hear:

03:15 evolutionary guinea pig with NAD boosters

05:45 a bang to that head that led to wanting to be a better version of Dave

06:45 cold water therapy and breathing to wake up dormant parts of my brain

09:45 vodka Dave found at the side of the road

14:10 The Evolution of Dave - as Dave evolves, so will you

18:45 giving the tree a good feel

21:15 developing heart coherence

22:30 slowing down our pre-frontal cortex

26:35 breathe before you speak - Dave’s top tip for stressed and anxious leaders

30:15 binaural beats and helping your brainwaves be more positive

34:15 encouraging more flow state experiences

38:45 in-flight checks

41:35 excited by life-enhancing activities

42:30 hacking the mind to enjoy a cold shower

44:55 the more you experience the present moment, the more life is going to flow

I hope this conversation inspires you to be better in your heart and mind in someway and would be grateful for you sharing it with simply one person who you’d like to help be better too.

Always love

Ryan

#MatthewMcConaughey #Podcast #Interview 

On episode 116 I am joined by Academy Award-winning actor and best-selling author Matthew McConaughey. 

Matthew’s book Greenlights is up there with one of my favourites of all time and it was an honour to spend time with him discussing stories and experiences from his life.   

Matthew is married and a father of three. He co-founded with his wife the just keep livin’ foundation in 2009 which helps at-risk high school children be better in their mind, body and spirit.   In 2019 Matthew became a professor of practice at the University of Texas, as well as the Minister of Culture for the University and the city of Austin. McConaughey is also a brand ambassador for Lincoln Motor Company, an owner of MLS soccer team Austin FC and the co-creator of his favourite bourbon on the planet, Wild Turkey Longbranch.  

There is such wisdom in the book Greenlights and is testament to the depth Matthew went to connect to his life experiences. A life that has evidently been well lived thus far!  Be sure to get your copy of Greenlights, physical and audio – both are equally special in their own way.   

In this episode you will hear:  

04:15 Matthew David McConaughey introduces himself in a way only he can 

06:20 Matthew’s Love Letter to Life - Greenlights  

09:55 The power of the words “Don’t Half Ass It”  

11:10 Jay Leno’s incredible advice to Matthew before his first time on his show   

13:15 “It is what it is” and “it is what it will be” - how does Matthew account for both being true? Matthew 6:22 

15:00 Forget unbelievable, give more credit to what is AWE-some 

16:30 What a wet dream revealed to Matthew about being a child of God 

19:30 “You gotta leave what you know to find out what you know” 

20:50 What it means to be Man Enough 

23:40 What LOVE means to Matthew McConaughey 

28:00 What turning down $14.5. did for Matthew’s identity  

31:50 the serendipity and full circle of the words ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT 

34:20 Just Keep Livin’ 

38:15 Chasing our Hero and my heartfelt thanks to Matthew for words that changed my life  

40:30 Always Better than Yesterday - that’s the ticket! 

41:50 Culture is a vibe - What a Love Letter to Austin sounds like… (side note, be prepared to want to move to Austin immediately after listening to this!) 

43:30 Just Keep Livin’ Foundation - we are going where we are needed but we are not able to be in every place we are needed 

44:50 The legacy of Matthew’s fatherhood  

45:30 Ladies of Tampa 

47:20 Let’s create as many Greenlights as we can for ourselves and others - where the “I” meets the “We”
