The Tony Wrighton Podcast

Next time on Zestology:

Looking at how to...

• Get round the 10,000 hour rule
• Crack gags like a stand-up comedian
• Use the power of sport to inspire

And lots more, with Paul Boross.

For you if:

• You want to increase your energy levels by 20%
• You have sleep issues, you struggle to get to sleep, or stay asleep, or don't feel refreshed after sleep
• You feel stressed in some way
• You get back pain
• You sometimes get a bit tired and knackered

It was cool chatting again with popular Zestology fave guest Evan Brand.

Evan and I recorded a double-header podcast. We first spent an hour chatting on his show, Not Just Paleo. (You can checkme out being interviewed on his show here). Then we chatted on Zestology. There's some fun stuff comes up, including the strange moment when we met in LA, the time when Evan had to run out of a cinema mid-film, and what to do if you want to increase your energy levels by 20% (it's what I do too.)

Next time on Zestology:Feeling stressed? Knackered? Lacking your usual fizz? Evan Brand and I have a good chat about lots of energy based issues, and have a lot of fun along the way.

Today is Zestology podcast number 52, which means we've been going a year. It's flown by, and been a lot of fun in the process. Thank you for being part of the journey, supporting me along the way, and hopefully getting some inspiration as you listen.Now, ladies and gentlemen, as you know I always like to put myself in the line of fire and test out any new gadgets for extra energy. (I'm such a hero, right.) But this one I was super-sceptical about.

It is a crazy in-ear bright light energy headset called The Human Charger. I just wasn't convinced that a gadget that shines lights into my ears would do anything for me.

It sends bright light into your ear which is apparently as good as seeing it and especially good for jet lag and winter mornings.

The funny thing, despite my total scepticism, is I've been using this for a couple of months and for the mornings I've tried it I've felt a definite extra morning buzz.

So in the deep midwinter, I wanted to find out more about the effects of a lack of light in winter, how we can hack our jet lag, and lots more. Hence today's podcast with entrepreneur and creator of this weird headset Timo Ahopelto.

Next time on Zestology:

Imagine a gadget that makes you feel more alert, more energised, and helps get over jet-lag. We road test that very gadget, and speak to the inventor next time. Cool eh?

How do you turn the ordinary you into an extraordinary person of value?

Today's Zestology guest might well help us answer that. He's a BIG name in the world of podcasting. Jordan Harbinger is the voice behind top show, The Art of Charm, where he shares experiences and laughs with interesting people around the world. And today we cover these main topics.

• What is charm? And how can we be more charming?
• The one productivity tip that Jordan uses every day to keep his email under control.
• How do you turn your passions into your calling?
• How might you infuse your choices with meaning and excitement.

Due to his work with various governments and NGOs, Jordan has spent several years abroad in Europe and the developing world, speaks several languages, and has been kidnapped — twice. He’ll tell you the only reason he’s still alive and kicking is because of his ability to talk his way into (and out of) just about any type of situation.

The super-popular podcast host and all round charmer comes on Zestology next time, here's a sneak preview...

• Would you like to learn more, but just can't find the time?
• Would you like to remember more? And remember stuff better?
• Are you interested in remembering every single person's name that you ever meet?
• And lots more cool learning tricks

I love reading and books and learning. I'm a book geek, definitely, but it just doesn't seem like there's the time. I often manage a book a week, but what if it could be more? When I do read I love it and if you want some book recommendations then check out my special book club blog here.

I'm wondering whether we can all up our reading and learning rate. That's where today's guest comes in.

Today on Zestology podcast, I'm thrilled to get to grips with speed-reading, and remember more with world memory expert Jim Kwik. Jim has shared the stage with luminaries such as the Dalai Lama and Richard Branson, and is a highly sought after coach and trainer, with clients that include Nike, Zappos, Virgin, Fox Studios, Harvard University, and many more.
