Niiamah Ashong is originally from Ghana, Africa, and at 7 years old it became very clear to him that you did not “fit in”, being in his neighbourhood just outside of Camden, NJ in the USA. He spent many years holding back, hiding who he truly was in order not to be outed as different, until he realised that he is an outlier - and that has proven to be his biggest strength. He is a coach, passionate about bringing opposites together, and helping others embrace their unique talents, so they can create freedom of time & expression, financial abundance, and massive impact.

Key takeaways:

 • "Fitting in" vs. "Fitting out"

 • The fear of standing out and being outed as different

 • Being on the 2-3% and the price to pay for being you

 • Racial stigma and humanity: what divides us?

 • Celebrating and valuing people's differences, and the "Martian test"

Andy Ramage is a leading behavioral change expert & performance coach, an entrepreneur, a best-selling author, and a TEDx speaker. After having co-created two multimillion-dollar city brokerages, and achieved what traditionally is called “success”, he was left feeling broken, unhappy, stressed, unfit, overweight, and unhealthy. This led him on a journey to study behavioral change and elite performance, coaching psychology and positive psychology. Andy is also the cofounder of "One Year No Beer", a platform which has inspired over 100,000 people to transform their relationship with alcohol (myself included!)

Key takeaways:

 ● New Year, resolutions, 2021, new promises... Dry January.

 ● The experiment of an alcohol-free adventure

 ● Who would consider taking a month off booze, and why?

 ● Social conditioning and social pressure regarding alcohol

#086 Solo episode: about the ending of 2020

A short solo episode today - this period close to the end of the year is for many people (certainly for me) a period of introspection and reflection.

Because of this, the schedule of the next podcast episodes will change. So there will be one more episode (#087) before the end of the year, and then from 4th Jan 2021, the podcast will return to its usual two episodes a week!

If you're feeling particularly generous and would like to give me a Christmas present, please go to Apple podcasts and leave Personal Development Mastery a 5-star review :)

Until next time,

Stand out, don't fit in!
