The Art of Charm Podcast with AJ Harbinger and Jonny Dzubak

From 2007, this long-running podcast, hosted by Jonny and AJ, founders and coaches behind The Art of Charm company, has been motivating and teaching an audience of hi-performance seekers and those wishing to learn the tools of the trade behind self-mastery.

Although I am not their biggest fan, I have enjoyed past interviews and conversations with entrepreneurs, celebrities, and guest experts in the fields of science, psychology and spirituality. With curiosity, Jordan attempts to crack the code to human behaviour, so we can better understand why we do what we do. Now it is mostly AOC toolbox sessions which I do enjoy from time to time. I assume these are taken from the AOC "boot camp" training modules.

Take a listen and let me know what you think.

611 Small Tests and Experiments by Leigh Martinuzzi

"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe the quality of our life depends on the experiences we have. The constructionist theory suggests that humans, as we exist today, are a genuine melody of all past experiences, determining not only how we act and behave but how well we live. What we do next will shape our future well-being.

Experimenting and testing is the best way I know to seek out and deploy new experiences in life. It will allow you to mitigate risks and reduce those barriers to entry. Experience is what will shape the future paths we walk and ultimately the quality of life we live.

Enjoy this - my solo show.

Nathan H. Lents

"If you want to go somewhere quick, go alone. If you want to go somewhere far, go together." African Proverb

Nathan H. Lents is a professor of biology at The City University of New York. He is also the creator of The Human Evolution blog and This World of Humans Podcast, popularizer science with fascinating insight. His curiosity and passion for biology and human evolution make him an expert and superb teacher of these subjects.

In this episode, we discuss his newest book Human Errors, an illuminating, entertaining tour of the physical imperfections that make us human. Although it may appear his views is a negative spin on the human design it actually serves a grand purpose. If we can understand the strengths and weakness of our human bodies we can work better with them allowing greater collaborative progress.

I absolutely enjoyed this conversation with Nathan and I hope you do also. Enjoy!

The Ultimate Life Map

The Ultimate Life Map is now up for pre-order.

I’ve been working on this baby for some time now and am excited about getting it published.

What does it mean to live The Ultimate Life?

The answer to that question is an individual one. And so is your life!

I wrote this book in efforts to scratch my own itch. To figure life out.

As I look around me I see so much suffering, hardship, depression, dissatisfaction and unhappiness. I felt the same way in my own life. 

So, I had to ask WHY?

For too long I sat on the edge of my seat teasing myself with my deepest dreams and desires yet I did nothing about it. 

I had to wake up! 

I don't want to sleep through this existence. I don't want to live with regret. 

In this book I share you my story. My transformational journey.

In it I provide the blueprint and the tools that you can use to map out and live your Ultimate Life.

I will show you how to define your WHY – or purpose.

I will guide you in the creation of your Life Compass.

I will explain how you can reconnect to the fundamental Life Principles.

I will then highlight how to use these tools, so you can navigate your life towards greater freedom, fulfilment and happiness.

The book goes up for pre-order from July the 15th until August the 15th on Publishizer.

Please help me out and pre-order a copy! Preorder your copy here.

Love and Belonging

“I will love you through everything. Can you do yourself the same honour?” Scott Stabile

Love is a powerful energy that lives within us all. It is revealed through actions that act as the social glue that binds humanity together and allows us to share, contribute, protect, understand, collaborate, evolve and progress - united! Its purpose is to connect life, not separate it, and in this state, all life serves a better chance of survival.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on love and belonging. In defining them and seeking to understand the purpose may assist us to practice and embrace them more in our everyday lives. Enjoy!

Jonathan Robinson

"Don't spend so much time finding peace outside of your becuase peace is within you." Buddha

Jonathan Robinson understands that life is stressful however believes that love shouldn’t be. The pace of modern life leaves so little time to truly connect with our partners, yet the need for good communication has never been greater. Most of us have had little to no training in how best to communicate in ways that foster deep trust and intimacy. 

In this interview, I discuss Jonathan's newest book, More Love, Less Conflict. Jonathan shares his personal journey as it relates to this field of work and what lead him to write this book. Relationships are a fundamental human need and love is the glue enhances them and effective communication is the solution.
