And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.  – Paulo Coelho, in The Alchemist

If I may be so audacious as to offer a caveat to this statement from one of the world’s best-selling books of all time, I’d like to add that this truism is only a truism if we leave the proverbial sidelines and step onto the arena floor.

Opportunity doesn’t usually come knocking.

If and when it does, it typically “comes” to those who are out kicking down doors looking for and making their own opportunities. And it certainly doesn’t wear a name tag that screams “I am the opportunity you’ve been waiting for!”

Speaking of kicking down doors and making your own opportunities…

Pick your favorite motivational quote:

“Fortune favors the bold.”

We’ve heard them all countless times.

Repeated wisdom however, is repeated for a reason.

And in this case, the fact remains: if we don’t call, ask, or try then it won’t happen.

Better to make them say no than to kill your own dreams by inaction.

If past experience is any indicator, we’ve got a better at getting a “yes” than we may have thought – especially if we approach them the right way.

In this BHP Short, I’m sharing some tips to help you increase your chances of getting the response you want and a proven template for your outreach calls and emails.

TUNE IN for a challenge that can turn your quarantine time into a growth phase that helps you set up and realize the opportunities you’ve been dreaming about. (HINT: Make the call. Send the email.)

Full disclosure: this episode was recorded prior to our current Coronavirus-induced shutdowns and quarantines. The message, however, is perhaps more relevant now.

Rhetorical question: If you’re not willing to bet on yourself, why should anyone else be willing to bet on you?

Our happiness and success (individually defined) is nobody else’s responsibility. It is ours and ours alone.

If we’re not willing to take the necessary steps to make it happen, how can we expect to arrive at our desired destinations?

We can’t.

So the critical lesson becomes, continue to bet on – and invest in – yourself. This holds true for personal growth, relationships, business, fitness or health endeavors, anything!

Continue to learn. Read, take online classes, go to workshops. Develop skills. Become as useful as humanly possible. But not because you’re lacking anything… Do it because you’re unleashing the best version of you.

TUNE IN for a story about a business that didn’t want to invest in itself, the message that sends to clients, and a caution about the possible downside to doing nothing but investing in yourself (Is there a point of diminishing returns?)

In our last Q and A episode, we covered a lot of ground on improving sleep quality, especially REM and Deep sleep for those using tracking devices.

Since then, I’ve gotten more questions and had several conversations with some listeners who are using cold showers before bed to improve sleep quality.

In this episode, we’ll explore why this works, what the research says, and how you can use cold exposure to possibly improve subjective quality of life, fall asleep faster, and get better sleep.

Ryan Hall is not your typical Nutritionist and this is not your average “two dudes talking about nutrition” podcast.

Darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Hate cannot exist in the presence of love.

In these chaotic and uncertain times, we need REAL leadership, straight talk, and unity.

We need logic and love to overcome fear. We need to see beyond the panic and realize the many opportunities at hand.

We need less fear mongering, speculation, irrational action, and definitely less circulation – or recirculation – of rumors and unverified reports.

Whatever, the “event” we face, humanity makes it through by working together – not by placing blame, arguing, freaking out and descending into anarchy.

Just because we have to keep physical distance to slow the spread of this virus, doesn’t mean we have to turn our backs on our fellow humans.

In this week’s special Coronavirus Edition of the BHP, Josh Crowther and I share some ideas for how we can show up for and support each other in the coming weeks.

Press Play to TUNE IN. And if you have any ideas we missed, let us know and we’ll share them in an upcoming episode.

Few people have impacted the musical industry as much as Rick Rubin over the last 30 years.

Tom Petty, Eminem, Rage Against The Machine, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, …. Rick’s written songs, made beats, produced albums, and even played guitar for them.

Along with Russell Simmons, he co-founded Def Jam records in his NYU dorm room in the early-mid 1980’s and hasn’t stopped innovating and shaping what we listen to since.

TUNE IN to hear my story of meeting and chatting with Rick, plus 3 lessons we can all learn from this legendary pioneer in the music industry.
