Bob Choat shares a powerful narrative of transformation, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and adaptability in personal growth and professional success. He recounts his journey from a childhood marked by a speech impediment and a low IQ label to becoming a Marine Corps veteran, police officer, and a successful peak performance coach with multiple degrees and certifications. Choat illustrates how his early experiences in martial arts and a supportive environment cultivated his resilience and creativity. He stresses that the path to success is not linear and that individuals must embrace diverse experiences to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Choat passionately advocates for the idea that learning and unlearning are lifelong processes, urging listeners to explore their shadow selves and allow their authentic selves to emerge. He highlights the need for a strong 'why' to guide personal missions and encourages listeners to break free from societal labels that may hinder their potential.

Dr. Bob Choat is currently an executive and peak performance coach who grew up labeled as a moron, clinically, due to a currently outdated label for a low IQ test at young age. He developed his body through years of various martials and his mind through his insatiable curiosity and study. He served in the Marine Corps and was later recognized by MENSA for his genius level IQ. His story includes time as an LAPD officer, marine, fifth degree blackbelt, and double PhD in clinical psychology and neuropsychology while he works towards a third in physics!

He was also a certified hypnotist who took to the stage as "Bobby Spade" to perform stage hypnosis. His studies include getting certified as a master trainer in NLP and through the EEG institute to read brain waves. Bob has his own podcast called The School of Transformation and began the Integrated Mind Institute while also writing a book called Mind Your Own Fitness and is soon to launch his new book, Develop the Champion Within.

There is SO much more that could be said about Bob without scratching the surface, which I love. Please enjoy listening to his story, his insights, and advice on several topics including embracing uncertainty, developing curiosity, chasing our passions, becoming our whole self, integrating our shadow, having a beginner's mind, being a lifelong student and more!

John Peralta is a former personal trainer, movement, and performance coach, massage therapist, and host of Flow Labs where he has taught people to discover their own triggers into flow states. He goes between Colorado and Costa Rica cultivating a life in flow where he does plant medicine and retreats with his partner Kat along with mountain biking, slack line, snowboarding, surfing, or pretty much anything that allows him to go fast.

He has studied stability, durability, sophisticated movement patterns, brain waves, biofeedback, the nervous system and more in his journey to optimize his body and use speed to get into flow state without injuries.

Our conversation touches on many topics from the masters of flow, the flow cycle, the triggers into flow, qualities of flow states, the history of psychedelics, his experiences with plant medicine, where his journey has taken him, and how to let go and be guided by the universe's grand design.

John happens to be a good friend of mine and one of my favorite people to talk with about evolution and human potential and it was a no-brainer to have him on the podcast. So, please enjoy!
