Joining us today on the Finding Center podcast today is Keith Elias.

Keith Elias is a former National Football League player for the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts as well as a graduate of Princeton University, where he held and still holds numerous school, Ivy League Conference, and national records. He has travelled the world as a motivational speaker . He has spoken in schools in Australia, churches in Thailand, and to the United States Armed Forces both domestically and in Iraq.

Keith speaks to corporations about leadership development and character, and to youth in schools and churches about the power of their choices. He has been increasingly drawn to men’s groups and has a particular desire to speak to men about authentic masculinity, and is a Transition Coach for the NFL Player Engagement Program, where he serves as a Director.

Keith was in town for an event that he put together for the NFL called The Bridge to Success, which focuses on helping former players transition out of the league and, for a lot of the guys, a  game that they have known and loved,since they were 7 and 8 years old. Keith offers some sage advice in here for all of us, whether you played football or not. You’ll hear the ten biggest challenges in sports transition. But I believe, on a different timeline, these challenges come in every line of work and for most individuals at some point or another.

We get real with our own stories and struggles, and share how we made it through the transition. We talk depression, identity, ego, finances, relationships and what is a massive learning curve that ultimately goes in to finding our versions of happiness at the end of an intense period of time in our lives.

I challenge you, when Keith is talking about NFL players, to see how this relates to your life in some way or another. Football is the language that football players speak when we get together. We can’t help it. But, through your lens, I think you’ll find some sage advice on self-love, spirituality, marriages. and child-rearing. Those words are universal.

On this episode, we talk to Dr. Erik Won. Erik is the President of WaveNeuroscience, a biotech company that innovated the Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) technology behind the Brain Treatment Center, where I got treatment earlier this year, with some profound results. In this episode, I share my story with how I found the center, what I experienced during and subsequent to the treatment. We also get into the importance of baseline testing of cognitive function so we can track how the brain is performing over time, and how it responds before, during, and after stress. I ask questions about how much one’s brain resilience is baked into an individual’s DNA; how much can we affect our “fate” as it relates to brain health; and where we should begin our fight when the battle is over, the contact sport career is ending, or the executive’s cognitive abilities start to decline with age.

Turns out, the 10,000 Hour Rule is Wrong!

David Epstein, author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. It’s of one of my all-time Top 5 favorite books. It’s so good I own the audiobook and the hard cover.

On the episode, David and I talk about:

Why the 10,000 hour rule is wrong!!!

Why you shouldn’t worry if your kid doesn’t show “Grit” all of the time.

Why you aren’t crazy if you “can’t just stick with it”, as it relates to career choices.

And how sometimes things you do that cause the most rapid short term progress can undermine your long term development.

We both share our rather meandering paths towards the success that we’ve found. Be sure to stay tuned at the end for “Nick’s Nuggets” where I tell some stories that are related to the key takeaways from talking with David.

I hope you enjoy!

Is it Possible to Rewire a Damaged Brain?

In this episode, Stanford Neuroscientist, Andrew Huberman, PhD, shares with us the 3 necessary components to adult neural plasticity and learning and gives us a clearly defined game plan and tangibles, including daily practices and supplements, to help us cycle in and out of intense bouts of work, so we can continue to push the envelope and stay healthy as we do that.

Also, in this episode, we talk about the increasingly popular psychedelic drugs and their efficacy for trampolining the brain to a higher level and Andrew gives his stern take on Michael Pollan's latest book 'How to Change Your Mind'.
