Level Up Your Life

Welcome to the Level Up Your Life Podcast hosted by the enthusiastic and impassioned Mark Black. 

In this episode, Mark asks us to change our mindset surrounding problems and challenges in our lives. Instead of seeing these as bad times, Mark recommends turning things around and looking at it from a training perspective. Much in the way a professional athlete does.

Three things you can do today to change your mindset toward adversity:

• Intentionally challenge yourself more often
• 1. Intermittent Fasting
  2. Convenience
  3. Exercise (physical/mental)
  1. Helps us endure
  2. Teaching moment
  3. Intentionality
• Practice gratitude
  1. Preparation
  2. Reminds us what we have accomplished
  3. Capability and capacity to overcome
• Connect with the times you overcame major challenges

"What you do is not nearly as important as you doing something."

"During recovery your body repairs and gains strength."

"What in my life was very challenging and how did that prepare me or improve my life?"

"You will struggle in life. Will you struggle with meaning or not?"

"We need challenge to push us and to grow."

Greatness Magnified's Sarah McVanel joins Mark on today's episode of Level Up Your Life to discuss the Flip Side of Failing. Why is it so important to experience hard times? Why are we almost required to go through tough experiences before things get better? Mark and Sarah go in depth about failure, and why the most successful people on earth (well, in Canada) have attributed their biggest successes to it. They also talk about their own personal experiences and share stories about their own moments of crisis and how they lead to amazing transformations in their lives.

• A crisis moment that lead to a massive life transformation.
• A wacky idea that ended up being a great one.
• What's conditional, what's optional, and what's not
• What does leveling up look like to you?
• What is the Flipside of Failure?

"Once you truly start to look around at your life, and all of the things that you have been putting up with, you actually realize that you've been settling"

"We didn't want to create new problems while we were trying to solve other problems"

"We have to be able to let go of what is in order to reach for what could be"

"We have the definition of failure all wrong"

"Failure is a part of that process"

Are you engaged in meaningful work? Do you know what to look for? How about the word meaningful, do you feel you have a deep understanding of what it means and know how to tell if you're on the right track? If you're not sure about any of that, how about this: Do you like the people you work with? The job itself? The tasks you do? If so, then fantastic! You're one of the rare people who have figured out how to be truly happy at work! But if it's a no, or you're just not sure, then this episode is definitely for you. In this encore episode of Level Up Your Life, Mark is joined by fellow speaker, author, and podcast host Eric Termuende to discuss work, and more importantly, the meaning behind it. What starts off as a simple concept grows into a very high-quality conversation about creating a life with less friction, and more happiness, and truly leveling up to your true potential. Mark and Eric also share their mutual opinion on the single most wasteful activity a person can spend time doing, and why taking responsibility for your own happiness is kind of a big deal.

• What is considered to be meaningful work? What is success?
• Resistance and challenge within the job could very well be a big part of what makes it fulfilling.
• How do you go about finding something you'll enjoy?
• 5 questions to ask yourself when you want to know if you're on the right track or not.
• You are responsible for your own joy and fulfillment.
• Can you be a little bit happier than yesterday?
• Not all advice is good advice for you.

"I recognized at a very young age, because I was forced to, that our time is finite" - Mark

"What is the life you want to live?" - Eric

"We're still trying to paint success with one broad stroke of a brush" - Eric

"Who is working where at the places you frequence most?" - Eric

"A 'Why' attracts talent, but a 'How' keeps it" - Eric

"Outside of everyone we have contact with is a world of bystanders" - Eric

"Maybe where we are right now is exactly where we need to be" - Eric

"Where can there be more happiness?" - Eric

Welcome to the Level Up Your Life podcast hosted by the awe-inspiring, motivating, and passionate Mark Black. As a double transplant survivor Mark has a different take on life. Mark cares about helping you get to the next level in all areas of life, work, home, mental, physical and emotional. 

In this episode, Mark interviews Olympian, speaker, and founder of the Believe initiative, Sarah Wells.As a hurdler, Sarah is no stranger to overcoming obstacles. Before finding the sport of track and field, Sarah was cut from every high school team she tried out for. It was thanks to a teacher who suggested she try running - that teacher believed in her before Sarah ever did. Together that teacher and her became coach and athlete and made the Olympics together just a decade later.

Beyond athletics, what Sarah is obsessed with is storytelling. Sarah wants to be able to tell the story of resilience and how you can truly make an impact in the world. She wants to inspire people to pursue excellence, and she understands that not everyone is going to have that high school teacher to believe in them, so she hopes to be that person for as many people as possible. After speaking all over North America to thousands of people, Sarah is encouraged to continue this work as she sees the impact it can make in schools and organizations.

In this episode, Sarah talks about how she overcome setbacks in her athletic career and re-invented herself to pursue new and exciting goals in her life after sport.
