I wish I spoke with today’s guest, Paul Angone, way back when I was in my early 20s or even before then. However, his wisdom and insights are just as relevant and impactful for me today.

His messages help to provide so much clarity in discovering your unique offering, your purpose and your deepest values. He also talks about how to embrace the struggle and work through your fears, and much, much more.

In today's episode, Paul shares about the importance of transitions in life, pivotal plot points in your story, soul values and the questions we should all ask ourselves.

Some of the main topics are:

Paul’s meaning for ‘Do Life Better’: truth, hope and hilarity.

Paul’s challenge for the week: figure out and rank your 5 top soul values. To help with this, ask the three closest people to you where they see you come alive the most.

Who are you intentionally guiding to enable them to become the hero? For many people, one of the greatest rewards is watching someone achieve great things knowing that you helped them get there. Not only does contributing to someone’s growth, development and successes increase your happiness, it also leave a tremendous legacy.

In this solo round, I will share with you some ways you can intentionally and purposefully mentor someone so they can become the hero.

Some ways to build others:

What’s your dream goal? Have you started working towards making it a reality, or is it still only in the dream stage because it seems too difficult?

Last weekend, I turned one of my long-term dreams into a reality by finishing my first marathon. The training and race day were perfect opportunities for me to use many of the strategies we’ve shared on this podcast and to test them out in a fairly extreme situation, well extreme for me anyway!

Maybe your dream isn’t to run a marathon, instead it might be to get a promotion, start a business, get that job, be accepted into your degree or something else. You have what it takes to do hard things by turning those dreams into goals and then into reality. You just need to take the right steps - physically and mentally.

Here are the techniques I used that will also help you achieve your big goal:

This week’s challenge: choose one of the above areas to work on this week so that you can keep moving closer to achieving your goal.

I’ve been looking forward to bringing you today’s episode with Dr Rick Hanson ever since we organised the interview.

As many of you know, I’m training for my very first marathon which I’ll be running the Sunday after this episode is released, and I’ve been using a lot of what Rick spoke about in my training as a way to build up my resilience, inner strength and enhance my mind game. And come race day, I will certainly be drawing on a lot of his tips and strategies, especially when the struggle begins.

I first heard of Rick a couple of years ago on the School of Greatness podcast with Lewis Howes, and his messages have helped me create a lot more happiness, self confidence and resilience in my every day life…and I know it will help you too. In fact, our earlier episode on savouring was inspired by what I previously learnt from Rick.

In this episode, Rick will help you overcome the brain’s negativity bias, release painful thoughts and feelings, and replace them with self-compassion, hope, and inner peace. He will also show you how to turn your everyday experiences like the warmth of a friends smile or a pleasant meal, into lasting inner strengths which become hardwired into your brain, such as resilience, balance and positive emotions.

Rick and I chat about:

Rick’s challenge for the week: take in one good thing every day and do it deliberately.

Rick will be in Melbourne, Australia in July, 2018, for Open Ground - http://www.openground.com.au/rick-hanson-australian-tour

What was your response the last time someone asked you, “How are you?”. The words you used influenced you and the person you were speaking with, and it could have given a powerful insight into your mindset, attitude and mental state.

Words are more than just words, they create your reality. After all, the way you interpret the world around you is through your internal dialogue.

Each and every encounter you have with someone is an opportunity to leave them feeling better for spending time with you. The words you use play a large role in creating this positive influence.

In this short solo round, I’ll dive into the power of your words and the importance of choosing your words wisely so they uplift and empower you and those around you.

The challenge for the week: remove “not bad”, “can’t complain” and other negative responses from your vocabulary and replace them with more positive responses. See how this effects those you speak with and your own mental state.

What if this moment right now is the most important moment of your day? After all, this is the only moment you can change, is full potential and has countless options, if you choose to see it and grasp it. This moment right now is so important because you can also use it to determine how you show up for what ever is coming next - if you stay in a stressed state, you will show up even more stressed. However, if you go into a state of bliss, peace, calm and gratitude, you will carry that with you into where ever you are going next

During this episode, I share with you some habits for making the most of each moment and increasing your presence. I also take you through a quick exercise for helping you to become truly present and grateful especially during times of worry, stress and anxiety.

The challenge for this week: find 10 minutes each morning to go through this exercise. Bonus - create moments through your day for a quick check-in to become more present.
