Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[07:06] Confronting Breakdowns and Finding Courage

In the face of life's challenges, people often seek quick fixes to mend their broken situations. However, it is vital to acknowledge the reality and accept that things are falling apart. Relationships, businesses, and friendships can experience breakdowns that require introspection. Recognizing this requires courage and vulnerability, admitting that things are breaking. By acknowledging these cracks, two paths open up: letting the situation fade or summoning the bravery to explore uncharted territory. Though fear of the unknown may arise when considering unconventional options, it is within these moments of uncertainty that true growth and transformation occur. 

[13:28] Starving or Feeding: Choosing Wisely in the Game of Life

In the complex tapestry of our lives, there exists an ever-growing list of things that are starving for our attention. As discerning adults, it is crucial that we consciously decide which items to place on this list, ensuring they are the ones we truly wish to remove from our existence. Otherwise, we unknowingly engage in a precarious game of unintentional nourishment, feeding aspects that we mistakenly believe do not define us. Yet, the truth is that by constantly nurturing these very elements, we reinforce their significance in shaping who we are. It is time to take control and carefully select what we feed, ensuring that it aligns with our authentic selves and leads us closer to a life of fulfillment and purpose.

[18:59] Choosing Dreams Over Fear

The thoughts that linger in your mind, those you avoid and navigate decisions around, are nothing but illusions. Fear and dreams stand before you, demanding a choice - will you allow fear or your aspirations to determine the course of your life? Personally, I feel invigorated when anger ignites within me. It fuels my determination, leaving no room for fear to dictate my path. I refuse to let fear steer the outcomes in my life. Just as I wouldn't parent my children or coach my leaders with such a mindset, nor would I follow someone who makes decisions driven by fear. So, let's rise above the chaos and embrace our dreams, defying fear's grip on our journey. Together, we can conquer anything.

[22:09] Changing Your Narrative to Conquer Fear

Tiffany's journey is fueled by her deep desire to make a positive impact and empower others. Despite fear's attempts to undermine her, she confronts it with her dedication to uplifting those around her. Tiffany understands the importance of stepping outside her comfort zone and embracing discomfort in order to serve others. This shift in mindset replaces fear's negative narrative, making her more resilient in overcoming its grip. Taking agency over her emotions and actions, along with replacing fear with love and discipline, has been key to her progress. Tiffany finds solace in re framing her fearful thoughts, affirming her commitment to others. By reminding herself that she is "desperately for others," she reaffirms her purpose and overcomes doubt.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[12:19] The Importance of Systems to Succeed

In EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), you'll benefit from a regular scorecard assessment to track your progress. After a quarter, it's crucial to take serious action. By implementing a systematic approach, you can quickly identify and resolve any challenges. This process teaches the importance of having effective systems in place, especially when aiming to grow from four or five million dollars to ten million. While the valuation may be there, achieving this level of growth isn't easy. It requires integrating HR, fractional CFOs, and possibly a COO within the C-suite.

[15:30] How Stem Cell therapy Works

Stem cell therapy offers a promising solution for various medical issues, eliminating the need for international travel in most cases. At the Center for Wellbeing, they specialize in regenerative biologics, utilizing a diverse range of effective treatments. With over six years of experience and 2,000 satisfied clients, they have a thorough understanding of what works and what doesn't. 

Whether you're struggling with arthritis, joint pain from physical activities like skiing or hiking, or a torn rotator cuff, they have a fascinating product called purified amniotic fluid. This fluid, obtained from afterbirth, possesses remarkable anti-inflammatory properties that have protected us for generations. Through third-party testing and adherence to FDA guidelines, they ensure its safety and purity before freezing it. When injected under ultrasound guidance into damaged joints, the micro-vesicles present in the fluid aid in tissue regeneration. While stem cell therapy may require a financial investment, it offers an alternative to invasive surgeries with uncertain outcomes.

Using cellular products derived from the umbilical cord, such as Wharton's jelly, was previously common. However, it had a significant drawback - it caused inflammation, preventing individuals from returning to the field after treatment. Recently, amniotic fluid has emerged as a more viable option. It can be injected the day before a game, allowing athletes to play without causing inflammation. This has become a preferred method for many individuals, but it's important to remember that not everyone responds the same way to treatments. Each person requires individualized care.

[43:58] The Keys to Longevity

The keys to longevity include regular exercise, healthy eating, nurturing relationships, and quality sleep. Additionally, incorporating regenerative biologics through infusions can make a significant impact. It's important to prioritize happiness and find purpose in life, as lacking purpose can lead to anxiety and ultimately, depression. Taking care of your brain chemistry is crucial, and activities like movement and exercise can have a meditative effect. Finding balance and doing what you love are essential for a fulfilling and long life.

Discover the strength of the oak and the strength of the willow as Andrew reveals the power of flexibility, compassion, and adapting to your surroundings. 

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[17:43] The Strength of the Oak and The Strength of the Willow

One of Andrew's coaches in his mid-20s recognized the remarkable strength within him, comparing it to the mighty oak.  He described the oak as one of the longest-living and strongest trees, known for its unyielding nature. However, he also identified another strength within Andrew that he sometimes overlooked – the strength of the willow. While the oak stands firm in the face of storms, the willow gracefully bends and flexes with the wind, allowing it to pass through without resistance. The willow embodies qualities of flexibility, compassion, and grace, effortlessly adapting to its surroundings. Even if a branch happens to fall off, it can take root and grow into a new tree. With this insight, Andrew's coach helped him recognize and embrace this complementary strength of the willow.

[25:24] Unlocking Your Life Mission: A Path to Purpose and Direction

It all begins with your life mission - understanding why you are here, which will guide you in determining where you are going. Many people are unaware of their destination and the purpose behind their existence. They ask themselves the wrong question, focusing on "how" to achieve something without considering if they truly desire it and why. When clients come to me, most of them are unsure of what they truly want. That's why we go back to our life mission first before we even think about setting goals or figuring out how to achieve them. Andrew suggests that if you're finding it challenging to discover your life mission, the key is to serve others. By engaging in acts of service, you will uncover the true purpose behind your existence and gain clarity on what you are meant to do. Once you have a clear understanding of your "why" and your purpose, the "how" will naturally fall into place.

[34:03] The Essence of Courage: Following Your Heart with Conviction and Commitment

Courage, derived from the French word "coeur" meaning heart, embodies bravery. It arises from wholeheartedly pursuing our desires, disregarding the influence of our minds. By fully committing to a cause, external factors lose significance. Challenges become growth opportunities, strengthening our courage like resilient oak trees in the wind. Just as trees need wind for vitality, personal growth thrives on opposition and challenges. True courage lies in unwavering conviction and commitment to our purpose. When we understand the reason behind our actions, accountability becomes natural, making detailed plans unnecessary. Like a devoted new mother prioritizing her baby's needs, we can exemplify this unwavering dedication and conviction in our own endeavors, navigating without rigid plans and driven solely by our passionate commitment.

On this episode of Flow Over Fear, Adam shares three reasons we need to stop giving our all all the time. The three reasons he gives are…

But Adam doesn’t stop at just identifying the pitfalls of giving too much of ourselves, he provides the solution to each, because awareness is just the first step to transformation. One of the key ways in which we can make that progress consistently, and improve our confidence and reach higher levels of our potential?

Stop giving 110% and instead, give 80% consistently.

This 80% gives us the capacity to rest, recover, ideate, play, become creative. And over time, with consistency, our 80% becomes everyone else’s 110%.

Our capacity to think, rest, recover, rejuvenate, and rebuild is just as important as taking consistent action, and therefore 80% is the sweet spot. Taking time and giving ourselves space to think and dream does not neglect our aspirations; in fact, it allows us to dream bigger and pursue those dreams consistently. 

We discover that giving ourselves the capacity to grow is essential for sustainable progress. In this episode, Adam acknowledges that giving only 80% may feel counterintuitive and uncomfortable, but it is necessary to know when to stop and say "that's enough." He explains the idea that achieving amazing results doesn't always require pushing ourselves to the limit. Consistent effort at 80% can lead to long-term success, whereas continuously pushing ourselves can lead to burnout, complacency, doubt, and demoralization. And  that true potential is reached when we give ourselves space to breathe and consider what's next. 

Expanding our vision and reach, finding the right people to surround ourselves with, and building relationships become essential in our pursuit of greatness. He explains how enjoying life and having adventures are where we create abundance. 

This episode challenges the belief that working hard and giving 110% is always a good work ethic. Adam discusses the importance of not sacrificing our true potential by constantly pushing ourselves. Being a visionary and achieving greatness require giving ourselves time and capacity for visualization. He debunks the misconception of progress being linear and emphasizes the significance of rest and deliberate planning for continued growth. Reflecting on our accomplishments, both big and small, can help overcome self-doubt and keep us motivated. Staying disciplined and consistent in pursuing our dreams is key, and the 80% rule is mentioned as a way to prioritize self-care and avoid burnout.

[00:09:39] Continuously improve by giving 80% consistently. Avoid burnout and doubt your abilities.
