"The Tao that can be named is not the Tao"

In this podcast, I explain why my segment on spirituality isn't going to talk too much about spirituality.

Doesn't seem to make sense?

Neither do any of the things I have to say about spirituality.

Listen to find out what I mean, and discover the crazy mistake people make that distances them from their own journey to experience their spirit.

No matter what your profession, role, or personality, you ARE a salesperson.

When you read that, what was your reaction?

Were you sold on it?

Or were you not buying?

Even if you didn't agree - you SOLD YOURSELF on another perspective.

The FACT of life is that we're in constant dynamic exchange with everything around us, from our environment to other people. Sales is a fundamental part of living life - and when you embrace that, the commissions you get from your experience are massive, you stop buying into crap that you don't need, and you actually provide VALUE to the marketplace of existence itself.

Still not sold?

Take a few minutes to check out today's Peak Life Podcast so that you don't miss out on one of the most important perspectives you can embrace in your life.

I promise the only buyer's regret you'll have is for the old perspective you'd been selling yourself for years ;)

So you've unplugged from the matrix of social conditioning, and you're a 'free thinker' now.

There's just one problem.

You've unplugged from one matrix into another - the matrix of your own mind. Your brain is tricking you into thinking that YOUR reality is THE reality, and is literally BLOCKING information from letting your consciousness expand to preserve your ego.

This is universal human psychology. Welcome to the confirmation bias, the backfire effect, and how to overcome it.

The inaugural Workout Wednesday talks about the biggest mistake that people make when approaching training.

You know that one guy who has been doing the same exercises for 5 years... and looks exactly the same?

While this podcast won't save you from making the mistake of wearing the same gross sweaty shirt that you got from that one concert every workout, it's going to save you from going years and years of spinning your wheels in the gym.

There is no meaning outside of you - just as two people experience the exact same trail completely differently, everything in life only has meaning by how you define it.

MINDSET MONDAY kicks off the week with a challenge, for those with the grit to take a bite of humble pie, stuff down the ego, and REALLY level up.

It's EASY to do the stuff that we're good at, the stuff that looks good enough to post on Instagram, the stuff that comes natural to us.

It's NOT as easy to do the stuff that you huff, puff, and grunt at, the stuff that feels like a struggle all the way through, the stuff that you'd be embarrassed to include on your Snapchat story.

What do you think I'm going to challenge you to do for 100 days? ;)

Listen to today's Podcast, and dip into the harsh, cold waters of reality... and level up HARD in the long run.

Have you ever seen a toddler walking around, waving a toy that they seem incredibly proud of - only to drop it in indifference moments later to chase after another shiny toy they see sitting halfway across the room?

As adults, many of us still have this 'shiny toy syndrome', dropping the path that we were on for another one when we hear the grass might be greener. The result?

Well, the result is that we never GET results.

Don't be that toddler. Listen to this episode of the Peak Life Podcast, and understand how sticking to your path to mastery can save you from a life of dabbling in mediocrity.

Every episode of the Peak Life Podcast has started with the 'Life is like a Hike' analogy. This was actually a game that I used to play every time I would bag a peak with my first hiking partner, Melisande Turpin. She was the perfect hiking buddy, because of the synchronized pace, identical rest needs, and parallel goals (get to the top, but enjoy the views the whole hike on the way up).

In today's podcast, I talk about the importance of matching pace and direction for ANYONE that you share your journey with - in creative, romantic, business, or friendship contexts, and talk about how to avoid the pitfalls of being pulled out of your own zone by the 'wrong' partner.

Special thanks to Melisande to being the world's most perfect hiking partner and inspiring this podcast every morning! Check out her work at Karma Shala Tremblant, Quebec's best yoga studio in Mont Tremblant.

"Opinions are like assholes... everyone has one, and most of them are full of shit".

Are you getting derailed with this SUPER common mistake?

In today's podcast, I talk about the potency of tuning into you INNER AWARENESS to discern when to take advice and believe another person's opinions -

because ultimately, it's YOUR opinion that they're right or wrong.
