273: A 23 year career shifted overnight: How A Breakdown led to a Breakthrough w Nick Motycka

Description:

Today's guest is Nick Motycka. Nick grew up in Alberta with a father who was a member of the RCMP.

Nick spent his entire adult life, 23 years, in various law enforcement-related positions: security, loss prevention, bylaw services, Canada Customs, Court and Prisoner Services, as a regular member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and finally as a member of the Calgary Police Service.

Nick spent time on the street with both agencies, in a Crime Reduction Unit, Drug Unit, Drug Undercover Street Team, Gang Suppression Team, and finally, a short stint in the Public and Media Relations Unit before his breakthrough, formally known as a breakdown, on September 16th, 2020.

Nick was then diagnosed with PTSD and set off on a journey to finally process the traumas collected during his career in law enforcement. A year and a half in, countless psychologist and occupational therapist appointments later, he was able to get the help that he needed finally: one psilocybin-assisted therapy session. With clear intentions and a strong willingness to do the work, Nick went from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for any diagnosis.

With a new sense of clarity and the amazing support of his family, Nick resigned from the only profession he had ever known. Nick now shares his story of healing and post-traumatic growth while going all in on his dream to bring consciously locally made, natural fiber clothing to the world through his apparel brand; Flow State Designs!

Topics:

• How unprocessed trauma manifests in your life and your choices

• Mindfulness and creating spaces for reflection

• The power of honesty and courage when confronting hard truths

• Changing your internal narrative for a more fulfilling life

Episode 271:

Title: Defeat Inconsistency, Procrastination and laziness with this strategy

Description:

Let's face it, our mind can be our best friend or our own worst enemy.

It's easy to get in our heads, psych ourselves out, and have our performance suffer.

That doubt, fear, and insecurity can compound over days, weeks, months, and years to take us to a place we don't want. It is a daily battle.

It's critical to have frameworks, strategies, and exercises to work through that can provide a new level of clarity and productivity while injecting our work with a deeper meaning that brings new life to what we do.

James first learned this strategy while building his own business in 2014. Since then, he has now shared this with Direct Selling Reps across the nation witnessing sales boost 20-30% in less than 7 days, seeing reps on the verge of quitting find a way to turn it around and save a summer-long commitment and watching Sales teams that were ranked lowest in the company win competitions and find a new gear.

James hopes that regardless of whether you are in Sales or not, you can leverage this exercise to remain consistent, keep your eye on what matters, and achieve what you intend to accomplish.
