Screw the Naysayers episodes

  • Brave New World w/Mark Metry

    Twenty years before the start of the Technological Revolution, English author Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World. Largely set in a futuristic World State of genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning that are combined to make a utopian society that goes challenged only by a single outsider.

    Huxley foretold a wildly creative and wildly pessimistic view of the future of mankind. Flash forward 85 years and once again there are all sorts of predictions of coming doom. Are they justified?

    Mark Metry doesn’t think so. In fact Mark believes that the future is infinitely bright.

    In fact, he believes that fifty years from now people are going to look back to today with amusement.

    “Man those people were so confused, and oh my god, do you believe that people were walking around without augmented reality interface that was directly connected to their optical nerve? Man, how were they living life? They must have been barbarians.”

    You can connect with Mark on LinkedIn Instagram Facebook  Twitter and https://www.markmetry.com/

  • Mind Games #1 - Understanding the Voice in Your Head

    This is Episode 1 of the Screw The Naysayers podcast, solo series, Mind Games. Today is just you and me, and it’s called “The Voice.” The voice I’m talking about is the one that gets inside your head and tries to stop you from making positive changes in your life. Especially if you’re thinking about making a big life transition.

    In todays episode I explain why I decided to start this solo series, share a short reading with you from my book Screw the Naysayers, explain five things that you should know about the voice and close by sharing 3 things you can do to start using the voice to your advantage.

    Do you let the voice in your head stop you from doing things you really want to do? Or do you use it as a compass to point you in the right direction? Share an example so we can all learn from it.

    Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts, comments, and stories, or just make a connection.

  • Listen to Your Own Words | Lila Smith

    “Every time the time was right all the words just came out wrong.”

    Has this ever happened to you? You’re speaking with a person who could change your life, but you just can’t find the words to say what you want to say.

    If you’re a musician, like Jim Croce, you might break into song and save the moment. The rest of us have to learn to Say Things Better.

    Meet Lila Smith.

    Lila is the Creator of #SayThingsBetter, a Strategic Communication Mentor for Tech Startups, and a much in demand global public speaker.

    Yes, she is a bit of a word geek, but Lila is not your average shy librarian. She’s a trained actress who spent many years working on the stage.

    Now you might be asking, what does communication have to do with acting? But then, if you’re like me, you stop and realize that communication is the essence of acting.

    In this episode Lila shares with us the approach she uses to help entrepreneurs say things better. You’re going to be shocked at the simplicity of it.

    She talks about one of the unexpected impact of her decision to start her own business and move to Dallas Texas, and that is the strains that it's put on her relationships with family and friends.

    And if you want to see Lila in action, stick around to the end. Lila actually coaches me through an exercise to bring clarity to my own communication. (Free coaching. Yea!).

  • Everyone is Sexy Brilliant |  Devina Kaur

    Devina Kaur is the creator of the Sexy Brillian Global Revolution (#sexybrilliant)

    Devina is a fun-loving, flamboyant, straight-talking author, entrepreneur, filmmaker and inspirational speaker. Born and raised in rural India, she fought to reconcile her traditional upbringing with her ambitions. After a lifetime of being told she was too fat, too loud and too ambitious, her world fell apart in her 30s when her arranged marriage ended. Thirty years of desperately trying to be the person everyone else wanted had resulted in loneliness, depression and confusion. While looking for purpose and meaning, Devina embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led her to start the Sexy Brilliant Global Revolution.

    Seeking a genuine connection to real people, she would meet potential dates, friends and business partners in unconventional places. Fearlessly jumping into new educational and business ventures, she built on every success and failure as an opportunity to learn more about herself and her many talents. Daring to step out of her comfort zone, Devina quickly learned that the dating scene was just another superficial construct where potential dates portrayed themselves as they knew others would find attractive, not as their true selves.
    Finding the superficiality of traditional online dating a bore, Devina turned to Craigslist for more genuine connections. She committed to deconstructing the formality of dating and “keeping things real.” When meeting a new person, Devina would always affirm that she was not just, “Okay.” She was, “Always sexy. Always brilliant.” The words she spoke would determine her frame of mind, and ultimately, the kinds of people she would attract. With every new connection and adventure, Devina uncovered her true self, and she realized that the only way she would have true and lasting love in her life was to love herself first! Thus, the Sexy Brilliant ideology was born, developed and shared around the world.  
    Too Fat, Too Loud, Too Ambitious is Devina’s first book, and possibly the world’s first ever X-rated self-help book with an expected date of release early 2019. In TFTLTA, she shares her self-discovery, spiritual and sexual awakenings along with life empowerment in a candid, soul-searching way. Devina, although gifted with expression, is also ADD and writing a book did not come naturally to her. She is best described as an accidental author. Devina is a full time single mother and lives with her family in Montreal, Canada.

    Devina is also the first immigrant Indo-Canadian guest on the Hollywood Reality TV Show, the Millionaire MatchMaker

  • Be Careful Who You Listen To | Daniel Gefen

    “I’m more impressed with my grandfather than anyone else and the reason why is because when he was 13 years old in he was in a concentration camp in Auschwitz and he actually went into 18 concentration camps in total. He was on 3 death marches. Both of his parents were murdered. His siblings were murdered. He was shot and buried alive at one point and climbed out when it was safe. He was hung twice and sirens went off, false alarms, and he escaped. And when he was liberated finally at 18 years old, he literally had nothing. And when I say nothing I don’t mean low wifi or the battery died on his cell phone.”

    Daniel’s grandfather went on become the owner of a successful hotel in Switzerland. He is remembered by the big smile he had when greeting guests. As Daniel put it, “and this was a man that had gone through hell.”

    Daniel Gefen is the bestselling author of Self Help Addict,  a top rated podcast host with over 250,000 downloads, has interviewed over 100 influential leaders, including Billionaires, Bestselling Authors and World Class Athletes. He’s been featured in major publications including Forbes, INC and CIO and been a guest on over 50 podcasts.

    In this episode Daniel:

    • Will challenge you to choose your hero’s carefully
  • Opens up about being bullied in high school
  • Takes on some big names that are pushing young people today to 10X everything
  • Talks about acceptance, and the perils of trying to impress people that don’t care about you
  • And We get into a lively discussion about what it means to have a “why” behind our actions

    • Daniel is a great storyteller. This is easy listening with profound ideas for you to contemplate.
