New Man Emerging with Michael Desanti

In my interview with Micahel Desanti, author of New Man Emerging, we discuss his thought on how we can all live a life of purpose, passion, freedom & fulfilment. Personally I find this message can often be misguided if not well understood and that's exactly the discussion we have.

Michael believes that today’s man finds himself at a crossroad: continue down a path of conformity and people pleas-ing, or create a new paradigm of freedom and fulfilment. So how do we start living a more meaningful, self-guided life??? Listen in.

Ultralearning with Scott Young

In my interview with Scott Young, we discuss some of the nine principles that can help anyone become an Ultra-Learner. Scott defines 'ultralearning' as self-directed and aggressive learning. Whilst we don't delve in as deep as the depths of his book does, there is certainly some valuable tools and insights to be had.

Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.

Eat Move Sleep by Tom Rath

Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi (originally published Oct, 7th 2014)

This book is a very basic and easy review of healthy living. The information shared may come across as general knowledge however with the increasing health epidemic across the globe, much of what Tom shares must be disregarded or at least not acted upon.

Health, illness and diseases are one of the biggest challenges we face in our world today. And while I am far from the perfect example of how human health should look, this book supplies, in an easy to read format, how we can all move towards a healthier life.

Please enjoy my review of Eat Move Sleep.

Why Are We Yelling

In this interview, I discuss with Buster Benson the art of productive disagreement. Have you ever walked away from an argument and suddenly thought of all the brilliant things you wish you'd said? Do you avoid certain family members and colleagues because of bitter, festering tension that you can't figure out how to address? I can certainly relate to many occasions where what could have been healthy debates, arguments have ended in uncomfortable and displeasing ways. Buster provides us with a solution to the unproductive conflict and pointless arguing forever.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 6 Tips to Success- Conference Take Outs

Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi – originally published Mar 13, 2015

I grew up watching Arnie movies! To many of us, he is a bit of a legend. With great lines like “get to the chopper”, and “I’ll be back”, one of the most quoted movie lines ever, I believe that he has certainly worked hard to achieve success across his various careers. For sure, like anyone, he probably has traits not to be admired and had an equal share of challenges and turmoil, that's a given. However, from the success that he has had there is a thing or two we could most certainly learn.

I wrote this post after I had the privilege of hearing him speak at a conference in Australia. He told us that he has always been asked of how to become successful so in this speech he dedicated to giving some answers. Here are Arnold's six principles for success and what I took away.

The Bottom of the Pool: Thinking Beyond Your Boundaries to Achieve Extraordinary Results

By Andy Andrews

Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi

It all sounds a bit gloomy - the bottom of the pool. Immediately I think of someone dead laying at the bottom of the pool, however, the book is nothing of that nature. It is a book designed to encourage and inspire. As the subtitle suggests the aim is to help the reader to think outside the box, outside our comfort zones and beyond, in efforts to live a more extraordinary life. Rather than swimming on the surface of the pool with the status quo, Andy strives to take the reader to the bottom of the pool, a place where boundaries are limitless and opportunities endless.
