Mindset By Dave Podcast

It's the last podcast of the year, so it wouldn't be right to end it any other way than with a 2018 roundup.

In this episode I talk all about the journey both personal and professional of 2018 along with some things to look forward to for 2019.

Isabel TG is a Spanish artist, currently living in Canada and is the creator of the hugely successful character Petunia.

Petunia is a girl cartoon who represents the mindset, emotional, physical and relationship struggles of being a 20 something in the 2010s.

She also does a lot of the artwork for me, including the podcast icon for this episode and created Mindy and Dave, my mascots.

In this episode she talks about creativity, negativity bias and how to handle trolls online.

Comfort zones are something I cover a lot with my work.

Most of the time we want to expand them and this is essential if we want to get better at things.

However there are certain times where expanding our comfort zone might not be in our best interests!

I explore the good, the bad and the ugly of comfort zones.

In this episode I am joined by Cammie King, a man on a mission to work with big transofrmations.

We talk about finding your way in the personal training industry, both online and offline, myth busting and the most important question of all - why Cammie has pink hair!

In this episode I talk all about how the labels we place on ourselves can define parts of our personality.

And how certain labels (or even our need to define everything) may be less useful for us than we think.

Tommy Gentleman is a proper dude! He runs some amazing things including the Super Self Podcast.

However the biggest thing has to be the Super Self Summit. An ambitious 2 days of immersive learning to help people discover their super self.

It all sounds very American and epic right? Well not, Tommy runs these in England, a place not know for such events and he runs them well.

In this interview we go back and forth, it's more of a conversation really where we both share stories and tips on how to get the most out of life.

Whether you're a teacher, preacher, parent, coach, vegan, social activist, political lobbyist or anything else that wants to get a point across you need effective communication.

But nowadays so many of us get so caught up in how we want to say things that we forget to think of the audience.

We deliver things in a way that make the person we are trying to teach, educate, coerce or convince dig their heels in and stop listening.

This episode is all about how to deliver your message in a way that will make your audience listen. Use it responsibly!

Fergus Crawley was only put on my radar 4 days ago and I just knew I had to get him on the show.

On December 12th 2018 he will be doing something magnificent. Attempting to squat 460,000kg over the space of 24 hours to secure the new Guinness World Record!

I wanted to catch up with him both before and after the event to delve into his why, his training and the mindset behind undertaking such a thing.

Turns out surviving his own brush with suicidal thoughts was the catalyst to start it all.

This guy is doing some fantastic things so be sure to check out 24hours_of_power on both Facebook and Instagram.

Bev Thorogood is Thorogood by name and thoroughly good by nature!

Bev is a lifestyle and wellbeing coach who focuses her attention on those who are considered part of Generation X (which I found out I just about qualify for).

In this episode we discuss the specific challenges that this demographic face along with what makes them Generation Exceptional!

Andy Strong is a man who has had his own transformation from overweight and lazy to, lean, mean, life changing coaching machine!

He is a coach for endurance athletes and weekend warriors, a man concerned with your health as a whole picture and the host of the Fundamentally Fit podcast.

In this episode we talk about some of the possible downsides to the ever increasing situation of working from home and how to overcome them.

We also delve into Andy's personal journey along with some training ideas for getting into endurance events training.
