KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The goal of a character coach is to develop their pupil so well that they can drop that pupil into any planned environment and they can remain loving and productive in any environment, no matter the day, no matter the hour. Character is those inner parts of a person that are present and active across all environments throughout life. It’s a conglomerate of many things: Perfectionism, messiness, hope, joy, peace, love, patience, forgiveness, unforgiveness, doubt, fear, bad planning, daily scheduling. All of these things come together to make a person’s character.
• Examine the lives of Gladys Elwood and Amy Carmichael and see how they remained persistent in their tasks and especially with the kids they adopted. Amy Carmichael was in India and started a complex for abandoned kids. Glady Elwood from the UK went to China and also had an impromptu orphanage, in some cases kids just showed up. They went through some things in order to take care of those kids so that unconditional love, but also having the persistence and tenacity to keep going and to keep helping in the difficult times. It’s possible that the more I talk or that I even let people know that the pinnacle, that height of character development, is possible, the more people understand that and start to focus on perfecting those inner parts of themselves.
• This life is a game and built into this game called life is difficult and tragic. We have an opponent in this game called life and he’s going to strive to take advantage of a situation where he can fan the flames, especially in a situation where a person has unforgiveness, he’s putting thoughts into their mind so that something rash comes out of their mouths. Be very mindful of any exchange that you get into, be careful with your speech to avoid even entering into this sort of situation. Go into situations with the posture of forgives and patience to try and hear the next person put, that takes practice to get to that point, many different conversations with many different people can help you get to that point.
• The one thing that has helped me is to keep in mind this mindset: “I’m gonna keep getting better each time”. You didn’t nail it? Get better at the next conversation, and the next one, and the next one. This keeps me from letting perfectionism choke out my performance. In my past, perfectionism would cause me to lose hours of my time trying to get things just right, but you’re choking out your performance. Sometimes, I’ll intentionally leave a mistake in there.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Everybody can have their character perfected, forged and tested through the fires of life and step up another level each time.’
‘When I type, I refrain from using auto-fill. If you’re rushing, you’re going to make some errors, this helps me with speaking slower and influences me to pause more whenever I speak and think about how to say things so that they come off very palatable, or even say them at all.’
‘Singing in public can help with anxiety of public speaking, it helped me overcome the opinions of other people.’
Conversations are a dance. To get good at dancing you have to practise.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Emmanuel Noble Enime's mission is to help people stay strong, stable, and hopeful - even in the darkest of times. Through mindfulness and intentional character development, Emmanuel teaches people how to defend their joy and succeed in this game we call life.

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.

Why?

Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!

Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Joy represents time with people you love, that love you and are supportive of what you do and who you are. Bring more of those people into your life.
• Getting out there and doing things you don’t usually do are fun. So, get out there and do more of the things that you’d like to do that you don’t do.
• While we’re cooking we can be creative which feeds that part of our soul, but we’re also giving to the people eating with us. When you give to people, that sense of reward is not only fulfilling but joyful.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Building a snowman with kids, you’re rolling back the years, having good, clean fun. You’re passing on tradition, knowledge, wisdom.’
‘Sit back, rest, relax, and reflect there’s joy in that. In that reflection we can find the cookie crumbs to move towards our goal in the forthcoming year and acknowledge our achievements of the year gone by.’
‘You rock your world and the people around you.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When I started out I was seeking information and really wanted to work on myself. I Googled and found Bob Proctor. When I saw him on TV for the first time in 2005, I thought: “This guy is crazy!” He was saying you should kiss your hand each morning when you wake up, which I thought was odd, but still something inside of me thought it must be Bob Proctor. So, I signed up to his coaching programme and it was amazing, all this information was completely new to me but it resonated a lot with my thinking. I enrolled and I haven’t looked back since. It’s a whole new world.
• I grew up in East Germany, it was very restrictive. My father has battled with alcoholism for 45 years and my mum was suicidal, so I was always looking for a mentor or a coach – especially after watching the film My Fair Lady, Professor Higgins is a mentor to Eliza, teaching her how to build up her self-image, how to conduct herself, how to speak, how to eat, this is what I was always craving. As a child I suffered from a low self-image, I was scared to talk to people and I didn’t choose the best friends, I wasn’t very confident. Now, I don’t have an issue with talking to strangers, or coming on a podcast talking to you through a screen.
• It’s all about energy. That’s key. Unfortunately, we don’t learn about these things in school, we learn so many things, but we don’t learn or study ourselves. How would you be able to really change results in your life if you don’t know who you are? In the end we are the only solution to our problems, and we are the only cause of our problems in life. 
• What are your goals? What is your vision in life? Zone out from all the present circumstances, they are there but you need to first tune in to what you really want. How can we have a meaningful life on this planet if we don’t have a goal that is worthy of us? People might train for a marathon for a long time, then the marathon happens and they realise that wasn’t the goal because I made it, it’s not about achieving goals, it’s about who we become. Go for a goal you’re burning with passion for. The goal is supposed to scare the shit out of you because you don’t know how to do it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I was always interested in a growth mindset, but I wasn’t in an environment where people would have been able to cater for my needs.’
‘We always think it’s only mindset studies, but the truth is the more we invest in ourselves, the more we enable ourselves to really invest our energy into something that really builds the kind of future in the present moment that we want to have.’
‘Whatever we think about at any given moment is going to determine what’s going to happen in our life.’
‘Why are you here on this planet? There’s a reason we’re all here, what do you want to build out of it? This is our privilege.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For whoever wins the competition there are bonuses including a one-on-one session with Des and a show reel made by his professional team. To have somebody to offer support and someone who is in a position that I want to be in would be a huge step forward for me.
• I dropped everything, I reached out to people across three time zones, I reached out to people I hadn’t spoken to in 20 years, I reached out to people that only came across my path for a very short period of time, I reached out to everybody. In no uncertain terms I said “this is what I want to do, will you please help me, I need your vote”.
• I don’t know the results yet. I know I got the most votes and Des is choosing the top five people and will interview them to decide which one he resonates with the most, which one he feels he can help the most, whatever his process is. In the meantime, I’m busy, but I’m excited/enthusiastic/in a positive mood. The outcome doesn’t matter. The less you respect the actions in front of you, the more they’re going to show up.
• If the worst thing that comes from this is that I caught up and connected with all of you beautiful people, then wow, what a great six days I’ve had. Aligning my desires and ambitions with my truest nature and asking for what I want in return, that’s how you campaign, by getting people to side with you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I want to be more connected with each other, I want to feel each other’s resonance, I want to feel the vibration from every single person.’
‘Motivational speaking is where it’s at, on the stage.’
‘When people are in line with you, you tend to get where you want to go.’
‘Rejection is just a redirection of where you want to go.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Rick Ruppenthal, a retired paramedic who came across the Three Principles in 2017 and saw them as the missing link between thriving or just surviving in an industry filled with chaos and uncertainty.

Since joining the 3PGC Apprentice Programme, Rick has turned his attention more to the mental health and wellbeing of responders and others who feel disconnected. 

Rick is the founder of the Unbroken Hero Project, dedicated to bringing mental wellbeing to those who serve in the military, medical, fire and police services.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being a paramedic is filled with experiences, some could be classified as good, some bad. I didn’t ask or look to be a paramedic, it wasn’t on my bucket list, but being a paramedic turned out to be my calling. But after being talked into it and completing my training, the very first patient I treated, I reached down and touched this lady’s radial pulse and something sparked in me and said “you’re in the right profession at the right time, this is for you”, and I took it as a gift and ran with it for the next 30 years.
• I noticed some people that were not thriving [like I was], they experienced the same scenarios but were having totally different experiences. Some coped with them in far different and not healthy ways. Towards the end of my 30 years, I got into the educational department, and I wanted to work on programmes that would change mindsets around understanding why people weren’t thriving. One of the things I discovered was that we don’t teach soft skills, coping skills, mindsets, feelings, we teach content: You see something you deal with it.
• We live our experiences through the feelings of our thinking, it’s inside out. As a society, and particularly around the culture in the service, we really don’t have a grasp on our feelings. In fact, I think we have a phobia of our bad feelings that, when we have upsetting feelings, there’s a misunderstanding that we must do something about them, that there’s something wrong with me when I’m having them.
• What if we are already more than equipped for failure, we just forgot about that? We have innate health and wellbeing within us, we have the ability to talk ourselves out of that space, through all the chatter and all the noise of the content of our thinking; the judgements and the meanings that we put on things. When we let go of that, we naturally fall back into that space of wellness, where resilience really lies.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When I first started, post-traumatic stress was not an acronym, we called it burned out, shell-shocked. And we didn’t know how to deal with it, it comes with the job, what were you expecting?’
‘People are always doing the best they can with the level of understanding they have at the moment.’
‘We have a very high suicide rate among responders, across the world. We’re in the top 10 of professions with high suicide rates globally.’
‘F.E.A.R. is False Emotions Appearing Real.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

I am Rick Ruppenthal, retired paramedic with 30 years of service and now a Mental Health Educator, Transformative Coach/Mentor and Certified Change Practitioner.

When it comes to our mental wellbeing and peace of mind there is only ONE PROBLEM – psychologically, we get caught up in the content of our thinking and get lost in it.

THERE IS ONE CURE: Through an understanding of who we are, how minds work, and where experiences come from, we wake up from it. A deeper knowing rises up and we become resilient, and feel better.

My mission is to bring hope to all military and first-responder personnel who are suffering and/or not coping well, by introducing a non-prescriptive mental health understanding called the Three Principles Understanding. This understanding has remarkable results in offering well-being, peace of mind, and resilience to those suffering from diagnostic labels for mental distress, including PTSD.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We want to believe that we can leave our guilt, shame, insecurities, indifferences, frustrations and pains in the past. But, if you don’t do the work to heal the wounds of the past they’re just going to revisit you.
• If you want to improve in your life, don’t wait until the New Year to say: “I’m going to do it this year”. Inevitably, what will happen is there will be an event, situation or scenario where the trigger is provoked, and you end up giving in to your old tendencies.
• Go into 2023 with your heart open to receiving, with the idea of getting more joy. Let’s not try to be happy, let’s choose experiences that make us joyful. When there’s more joy in our lives there’ll be greater happiness.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s incumbent on the individual to take responsibility and to say: “I want change”.’
‘If you can get rid of the inner critic and the noise and you release that resistance and you can move forward with conscious choice, your life is going to improve.’
‘Go into 2023 with an intention, it doesn’t matter what intention, whatever you want from 2023 go into it with the right intention.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I’ve been in marketing for over 20 years and about 10 years ago I started my own agency and it’s only been in the last few years where I’ve started to integrate my own personal passion for growth and wellness into the business of marketing. Now, our agency truly specialises in working with brands who make an impact in the world with relation to food and wellness. Through this work we’re really able to help the people that are helping people to market their services, broaden their voice, acquire new clients and keep those clients for longer so they’re making a deeper and more sustained impact.
• I have two favourite categories of clients (don’t tell my other clients that!), on one hand we’re working with physicians in the practical medical space. These are doctors that are really working to identify a root cause inside someone – not just treating their symptom with a pill, but working on healing their system so that they are able to move forward in the world without pain, with relief from symptoms, in a more sustainable way that doesn’t involve short term fixes of pill after pill and side-effect after side-effect. Helping those physicians gain more patients and keep those patients longer has been really satisfying and impactful for them and meaningful for us. Also, we’ve been doing a lot of work with brands that are helping children understand how to make mindful choice about what they eat, building habits of choosing a healthy choice over a junk food choice when they’re young, and their brains are still shape-able so that when they get older they’ll be feeding themselves with things that are really fuelling their bodies and not allow them to over consume and suffer the effects of that.
• Change is cyclical, not linear. We live in a world where there’s a before and an after and people have this instant gratification mindset, they think “I’m going to buy/invest my time in this thing and then I’m going to instantly be different and reach that ‘after’ which is what I think I want”. But, really what happens in order to make that transformation, there’s a number of starts and stops, a few steps forwards and a few steps back, and the before and after pictures never show that process. What we’re saying, as communications experts to our clients is: When you can reconnect with people when they’re starting and stopping, that’s where you have an ongoing impact with people.
• One of the tools we like to introduce for our clients, certainly consultants and coaches and anyone in the service industry for the service of other people and their transformation, is this concept of a road map. When you have a new client, it’s important to manage their expectations up front, and perhaps that expectation can be in the form of a visual map. In functional medicine, quite often, there are ‘stages to change’,  stage 1 is discovery, stage 2 is healing, stage 3 is a maintenance stage. If someone can start the new relationship understanding that path they’re less likely to feel lost in the process and less likely to drop off. By explaining your process in a visual and presenting the person with metrics along the way it shows them the quick wins on the path and they’re more likely to keep going.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’re not addiction specialists, we’re not here to create behavioural change, this is what our clients are doing. We’re observing our clients in their work and helping them use communication to better express the benefits of the change and keep that change going with the people that they’re serving. We’re communications specialists.’
‘We help our clients widen their audience and communicate with those people in a way that connects with their mindset. Sometimes a little shift in perceptions can be life changing.’
‘When consumers understand that change is cyclical, they can go into it with the mindset of an experiment, not necessarily “I’m going to start this and ultimately I fail because I quit”. It’s that perception of failure I think that holds people back from the ultimate transformation.’
‘I had an epiphany recently because I’ve been agitated a lot and that’s not like me, I’m a pretty chill person. But, I’ve noticed that it’s been in direct relationship with my numbers and the financial goals that I’m setting for the business and my ability and inability to hit those goals with my team. My coach asked me how I’d show up to the world if I wasn’t constantly thinking about these numbers and how they drive my mindset, and I didn’t have an answer for that, that's all I know. I meditated on it and what I came back with was a new framework for how I measure success in my mind. I’ve always looked at success as making money/growing my team, but I shifted how I define success to how I allocate my time over the next 15 years. I want to spend more time on speaking at events and on podcasts and less time on my business and the monetary goals will support how I spend my time on things that excite me.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I want to encourage you to be more generous in giving, giving to charity, giving your time through volunteering, we should make that part of our annual intention setting upon review.
• Do something else that you only do once a year at Christmas time, when you give yourself undeniably, unconditionally, unequivocally to those around you. What I would like you to do is unquestionably, wholeheartedly and completely unconditionally, undeniably, unequivocally give to yourself. Give time to yourself, give space to yourself, give love to yourself, give self-care, give everything that is important to you/ Give yourself the time to learn, to gain wisdom, to improve your knowledge. Give yourself that time this year to go inwards, to reap what you sow, to go upon that magical, mystical, wonderful journey of going inside and really give to yourself.
• We live in a world where things are so defined and expected upon us and we expect ourselves to live and breathe and operate in those parameters. But, those parameters are built by other people. Today, at Christmastime, I’m asking you, encouraging you and hopefully motivating you to give yourself peace, give yourself peace of mind, give yourself content in your heart, give yourself love.
• My journey isn’t perfect all the time. I have ups and downs like everybody else. When I do have a downer, I’m open enough to say that today’s a bad day but this is what I’ve learned. I'm really grateful that I’ve had the awareness, this is what I’m implementing, I’m really grateful to have had this experience, and tomorrow will be another day.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Catholics give 10% of their earnings away to charity, and I think that’s a really wonderful thing.’
‘Don’t concern yourself with your mind, the inner chatter, the continual dialogue. Instead I want you to really feel in your heart and in your spirit, in your most soulful being, in your true essence, give to yourself that gift.’
‘The better we know, the better we can fulfil who we truly are. In doing so, we naturally get more fulfilment as humans.’
‘Learning is a lifelong lesson and it needs to be practised. Without that practice we can’t improve’

They tend to be high achievers and a lot of times have got to the point where they’re chasing that brass ring and they wake up one day and they feel that from the outside they look successful but from the inside they feel a lot of stress, anxiety, burnout, sometimes there may be problems with health or relationships. I try to help increase the overlap between professional success and personal happiness. We do this by shifting their mindset to realise that maybe there’s a better way of doing things than how they’ve been doing it up until now.
• As people rise within organisations, people that are good individual contributors will get elevated into management roles. Unfortunately, one of the things I’ve seen in my own career as well as many of the people that I’ve coached is that many companies do not have any kind of training around how to be an effective manager. People will oftentimes model management/leadership behaviour that they’ve seen other people use, which may or may not be effective, or they don’t really understand how to leverage all the resources that they’ve been entrusted with as they rise within the organisation and therefore try to shoulder a lot of the burden on their own or use ineffective leadership techniques (most of the time unconsciously) to try to motivate the people under them and they don’t get the kind of productivity out of themselves and their teams that is completely possible, but it’s almost as if they have blinders on to get it without so much grind.
• It can be a tug of war. If somebody’s resistant and you decide to pick up the other end of the rope and pull it to pull them forward, they’re just going to pull in the other direction. People can only motivate themselves. As leaders/coaches, we can give people the opportunity to decide to change or shift their mindset. What I do, as a coach, is hold up a mirror to show them what they’ve been doing. 
• Most of the time, when people are given coaching by their organisation or they seek it out on their own, it’s because they are feeling some pain. They have a goal they’ve been trying to reach and they’re frustrated because they’ve tried everything they can think of to get there and it’s not working. So, they start to think “maybe there is another way”. At some point we have to flip the table and start looking forwards to what they want rather than back at what they’re trying to get away from.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It is possible to be more in the flow by learning some new skills.’
‘You have to shift the mindset to believe that your goal is possible.’
‘As humans, on a daily basis, we’re faced with challenges that sometimes knock us back and we have to travel roads that we’ve already covered. But, it’s really about realising that this journey never ends – there’s nothing depressing about that because if it ends you’re dead!’
‘Some of my worst experiences I’ve learned the most from and I’m the proudest of having survived and learned the lessons that served me better in the future from those experiences.’

ABOUT THE HOST

Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.

Why?

Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!

How?

Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There was a ruler of the land, he had lots and lots of wisdom and people came from near and far to listen to him. Sadly, one day, this reputable, honoured, respected king – the ruler of his lands – died. But he had an insight and he used it to create 12 volumes of wisdom which would be presented to his son on his 18th The son curiously, almost with frustration, looked upon the volumes and said: “I don’t have time for this” and instructed his advisors to reduce the volumes to 6.
• The son wasn’t the king his father was, but he ruler his land until he passed and he too left his son the 6 volumes. As a teenager, the son became more and more involved in normal teenager behaviour rather than that of a king and he said to his advisors: “I don’t have time for this, make them into 3 volumes”. The advisors were in fear, how do you condense wisdom?
• Eventually the king was given the three volumes and he was astonished at what he learned and had come to understand in these three volumes. He thought of his father and grandfather and how hey too could have been party to the three volumes and could have saved time. Again, this king aged and passed and gave the three volumes to his son who was even more obnoxious with his teenage antics and lacking responsibility. He commanded his advisors condense the three volumes into one.
• The continued until the advisors were told to condense the universal wisdom into a single word. The word that the advisors came up with was “attitude”.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When I was growing up we had really big encyclopaedias from Reader’s Digest, really beautiful books. I can imagine all the information in those being reduced in the way the volumes were reduced in the story.’
‘This really was fascinating for me, this changed so much for me and I really hope you guys are on the edge of your seats.’
‘How you do anything is how you do everything. What is your attitude towards what you are doing in life? How do you intend to live? What is your attitude toward that intention? Are you happy in life? If not, start to practice gratitude, it is an attitude.’
‘I’ve been trying to transfer some of the things that I learned from my channel swim into other areas of my life, and one of the big things was discipline. When I was too tired, I swam, when I didn’t want to get into that ice bath, I did. Why? Because I had the attitude of being a winner, not being defeated, to show people that we are all capable of much greater than we believe, to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans.’
