Overcoming Graduation

Ep 184 Losing 8 lbs in 10 Days

If you had asked me before attending Tony Robbin's Unleash the Power Within if I could lose 8 lbs in 10 days, I would have said no. Not without doing something unhealthy and drastic like starving myself.

One of my first coaches told me the power of coaches is that they can see further ahead into your future than even you can. That they can help make a better vision real.

Having experienced the reality of losing the 8 lbs so quickly in a very healthy way, without starving myself, my body, mind, and spirit are hungry for more.

I have reconnected with my potential and want to start to engage it in all areas of my life.

Today, I share a bit about the experience and some of the biggest lessons I am taking away from it at this point.

I love you all, I hope you enjoy it,

- Brian

Ep 183 "Make Me Care"

Ted talks have been a source of inspiration for me throughout my life.

One of my favorites of all time was done by Andrew Stanton in 2012 (watch his speech "The Clues to a Great Story" by Clicking HERE).

He talks about the keys to a great story, how Pixar started, and what it took for them to overcome their obstacles to succeed.

More importantly, he shares some of my favorite story-telling advice ever.

To learn what advice is and how you can apply it to your story-telling, tune in today!

Talk to you soon,

Brian

Ep 182 Stupid Phone Games and The Mind

Ever found yourself sitting on the toilet, playing a phone game so long, your legs go numb?

Yeah... me neither... (*Brian's eyes dart around guiltily)

We've all been there (whether on the toilet or not) where we get lost in a silly phone game and can burn HOURS in a day.

Why does it happen and what can we do to break out of the cycle?

I cover both in today's episode. Enjoy!

Ep 181 Asking the Right Questions and Why People Fail

Many people are setting themselves up to fail from the start.

Whether it be goal-setting or trying to change a habit, many people don't even realize one of the fundamental things you must do before even beginning.

Often what I have seen in my own life and work with clients is that it comes down to the questions we ask ourselves.

In today's episode I share the traps we can all fall into and how to overcome them.

Ep 180 The Last Time You Did Something New

Has life felt stale to you recently? Like you just keep repeating the same day over and over?

Does it feel like weeks have blown by, and you have little or nothing to show for it? No new experiences, nothing new you created or learned?

What can we do to start bringing the spice and zest back to life?

In today's episode I share some very simple ways to get started doing this today!

Ep 179 Tools in the Toolbox and Self Care

Sometimes, self care can feel overwhelming.

We can feel like if we don't meditate, exercise, journal, hydrate, eat healthy, get 10 hours of sleep, and snuggle with someone that we won't be able to be fully balanced.

Most people have learned tools to help them better care for their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual state.

But how often and where should we use them?

In today's episode I talk about my struggles with tools and how I have made adjustments to better serve me.

I hope you enjoy it!

Ep 178 Drifting

Have you ever felt like you were drifting through life?

If so, how did it make you feel?

I have had different points in my life where drifting was celebrated (exploring during study abroad) and other times where I felt so guilty for it (having a lazy Sunday after a long week at work).

Can there be benefits to drifting? What can it teach us?

Today, I share some recent thoughts and insights about my recent feelings about my own drifting and what good can come from letting go of holding on to the reigns of life with white knuckles.

I hope you enjoy today's episode, I'll talk to you soon,

- Brian

Ep 177 Creating Your Masterpiece

Whether it is speaking, presenting, writing a sales letter, or putting on a performance, their are commonalities between the best and the worst.

Through years of studying story-telling and speaking, working with incredible mentors, applying the lessons, and helping others do the same, I have found some things that help people deliver the most amazing stories possible.

Creating a masterpiece is something that takes facing adversity, pushing yourself, and being willing to get WAY out of your comfort zone.

But just doing those things is not enough unless you have the guidance of someone who has been there before you.

Today, I share some of the best gems I have learned about speaking, story-telling, and crafting a message to help people take action that you can apply to your masterpiece now!

If you like this episode, let me know because this is something I am thinking of turning into a series.

I hope you enjoy it, talk soon,

Brian

Ep 176 The Best Teachers

There is something consistent I have found with all my best teachers and mentors.

When I listen to podcasts and read about people I want to emulate, they often convey that their teachers shared this same trait.

What is that trait and how can you use it to learn more and teach better?

Tune in today to find out!

Ep 175 Which One's Better, Disciplined or Chill?

Some people will tell you, discipline is the way to go.

Others will tell you the best thing you can do is chill out and go with the flow.

Does it have to always be one or the other?

Today, I share some of my recent experiences with my break from the heavily disciplined lifestyle and discovers about the middle ground between the extremes.

I hope it helps you create more balance in your life.
