Jorge Nava has a story straight out of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey. He was on the show “90 Day Fiancé,” where he met a girl from Russia who changed completely when she arrived in the states. He’s a grower of marijuana here in California, where it’s legal, but had trouble getting his crops to grow fast enough to meet the demands of his new fiance’s financial needs. He decided to buy marijuana from another state where it was legal and transport it across the country, passing through one state where it was not legal. As you may have guessed, he got pulled over in that state with over 300 pounds of marijuana. His story is a redemption story: He goes to jail, picks up a Tony Robbins book, and he systematically decides to go through the journey of self-exploration, loses 125 pounds, and finds out who he is at a deep level. We go into that whole story up to where he is today, and it’s absolutely incredible.

• [06:01] How “90 Day Fiancé” entered Jorge’s life

Today’s Topic: Raising your emotional vibration

If it feels like you can’t catch a break in 2020, you’re not alone. But one thing we’ve learned from Esther Hicks is that everything is working out for us. When you look back on everything that’s happened over the year, you will see the silver lining in it all. Today we’re going to talk about the emotional guidance scale and how moving up that scale — out of negative emotions and into more positive ones — allows you to be more impactful in the world.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [05:46] Surrendering to what is happening
• [08:38] Moving up the emotional guidance scale
• [13:42] Looking for the good feelings in your life
• [15:36] Being able to do the most good by taking care of yourself

Christian Seale is the embodiment of the Work Hard, Play Hard philosophy. He’s incredibly smart: He got his undergrad from Brown, his MBA from Harvard, and he’s a Fulbright scholar. But how he thinks and how he solves problems is what really sets him apart. When he had some bad healthcare experiences in the US — and more favorable ones in Columbia — he decided to find a way to make the US system more equitable, efficient, and profitable. 35 companies later, he is dominating the medical space and working with people on the cutting edge of medicine. And when it comes to play he’s killing it too. Whether he’s on his boat, traveling to Wimbledon, or speaking at a Tony Robbins event, he is always looking for the edge. You will learn a lot from him.

Today’s Topic: Not Giving Up On Your Dream

This week, I got to live out my dream of surfing on the beaches of California. This is something I’ve been talking about for at least 16 years. There were plenty of obstacles in my way — I’m getting older and my body is built more for lifting weights than surfing. But still, I managed to make it happen. This isn’t meant to be me gloating, though. Kim and I wanted to break down what it took to make this happen and show you that you can reach your goals if you put in the work and don’t let obstacles get in your way.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [03:53] Following through on a dream
• [05:14] Having a deep-seated drive to accomplish your goal
• [07:21] Overcoming obstacles

Chris Powell is best known for his many years on the television show Extreme Weight Loss. We had his wife, Heidi Powell, on the show a few weeks ago and we went deep on their backstory — their marriage, how they started their business, and the start of the television show — so we don’t go into that this time. Instead, we switch gears to talk about Chris’ new workout app. There’s nothing else out there that does what this workout app does. Right now, as we’re all working from home, struggling with mental health, and trying to figure out a way to work out, this app can get you most of the way there when it comes to your body, your diet, your hydration, and your mental attitude. You have got to check it out.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [08:11] How the Transform app works
• [11:35] What makes Transform different from other apps
• [15:06] How losing weight is like playing poker with your body.
• [22:53] The business decisions and process behind developing the app
• [30:58] The things people get wrong about Chris Powell
• [33:44] Changing thoughts on parenting
• [35:20] Renewing your why
