The Brian Keane Podcast

Similar to the other random episodes I've recorded with Paul, I have no idea how this episode will go down as it's another 'fly on the wall' conversation where we pressed record and just talked.

This goes in a million different directions (as do all of our private talks) so I hope you enjoy the lack of structure/conversational style for today's episode.

Here are some of the topics we covered today.

• How to choose your suffering to deal with anxiety or environmental depression
• Picking friends by design and not by default
• Living life on autopilot and catching the unsupportive habits and stories
• Why being self-employed or starting your own business is safer than working a 'real job'
• The paradox of choice when it comes to food and dating apps.
• The problem with lying and constantly comparing yourself to others
• Setting your standards high by asking what would your 'target' self do?

Joanne is a plus-size model, best selling author, creator and businesswoman

I've known Joanne for years and this was an episode we have been planning for ages. I always get so much from our conversations and I'm so glad to be able to record this for today's podcast.

In this episode, we talk through her journey from plus-size model to the body insecurities that came from getting significantly leaner.

We also spoke about how to learn from past failures and mistakes and how the bad times help you to build a 'walled' mindset that allows you to keep moving forward when times get difficult. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Rewire Your Mindset Seminar https://briankeanefitness.com/product/rewire-your-mindset-seminar/

Today's episode focuses heavily on the mindset side of things. It's been three months since I ran through the Arctic and just over a year since I ran six back to back marathons in the Sahara Desert. Both of those challenges thought me so much about how to be in other areas of my life. My personal relationships, my business, and my happiness levels are the best they've ever been and I put nearly all of it down to the 10 lessons I've learned below so I wanted to share them. This is another 'press record and talk' video so I hope you enjoy it.

1. You need to break big goals into smaller parts 04:50
2. Pain is temporary and it will go away 11:28
3. You need to build the mental strength slowly every day 18:22
4. All limitations are self-created 25:07
5. Your own worst enemy lives between your two ears 33:01
6. You can't do things for other people, it needs to be for you and you alone 41:02
7. People put what you do on a pedestal and they shouldn't! 47:28
8. If you fail to prepare. Prepare to fail. 52:47
9. You can't give yourself the option to quit or you will take it! 57:53
10. See it, believe it, achieve. Become who you need to be, act like that and wait for reality to catch up. 01:02:11
