On today’s episode, I spent time again with Marc and Angel Chernoff. Marc and Angel Chernoff are New York Times bestselling authors, professional coaches, full-time students of life, admirers of the human spirit, and have been recognized by Forbes as having “one of the most popular personal development blogs.” Through their blog, books, course and coaching, they’ve spent the past decade writing about and teaching proven strategies for finding lasting happiness, success, love, and peace.

Lauren and I talked about introspection, fears, making and keeping promises (and Hugh Jackman!). She practically gave me a coaching session on this episode and this conversation ought to prepare you the next time you have a setback.

Talking Points

Getting on our own way: An anecdote on taking on too much

Overcoming the new human experience filled with what’s wrong and fear

The relativity of success

Working on spiritual, emotional, and physical integrity

Beginning at the end and small things that bring macro results

I am doing the right thing: Stop asking and start doing and being

Setting up consequences to keep promises and be productive

Making your dark side work for the good guys

Keeping your promises as a way of challenging fear

Quote

“When you have a big enough dream and you pick the five most important things for you to accomplish but you believe in the whole, there’s magic that will happen so other things happen while you are doing the five things.”
