The Unstoppable Teen Podcast with Kevin Mincher

Do you want to know how to get good grades in school?

Kevin recorded this episode of The Unstoppable Teen Podcast after receiving a Facebook message from Usman in Bradford. Usman’s teachers had recently told him he wasn’t doing as well as he thought. So Usman reached out and asked for some help (well done Usman).

Kevin shares the top four strategies that are proven to help students improve their grades according to research by Durham University and published by The Sutton Trust.

We live in a society where we have to purchase the things we want. Whether it’s food, clothes, a car, a home, a holiday, gift for family and friends… there is a price to be paid.  

Of course, when we’re young, we rely on our parents, carers and the government to buy things for us. But there comes a time when you transition from childhood into adulthood that you need to start paying for things yourself.  

You probably won’t be surprised to know that, “I want to be rich”, is the most common goal amongst teenagers. But how do you do that? How do you create a rich life for yourself?  

That’s what this episode of The Unstoppable Teen Podcast is all about!

Last week was Sexual Health Week, so after much discussion and deliberation, we decided to do an episode on this subject. 

We know some people don’t want to discuss sex and teenagers. If that’s you, please don’t listen to this episode because we don’t want to offend anyone. 

Many people start to explore their sexuality at some point during their teenage years. We start to become aware our attraction to others and begin thinking about having sex for the first time. 

But how do you decided when to have sex or when not to have sex? And how can you keep yourself safe in this area of your life? 

In this episode of The Unstoppable Teen Podcast Kevin responds to a question from Kiera (Albany, NY). She told us that her boyfriend had been pressuring her to have sex, but she didn’t feel ready yet. 

Listen now to hear what Kevin had to say on this important subject that affects us all.

“All to often teenagers start experimenting with sex before they have educated themselves in this important area of life – That’s dangerous.”

Kevin Mincher – Teen Coach

• Why it’s important for families to talk about sex (5:44)
• Why it’s dangerous for teenagers to have sexual experiences before they receive good sex advice (7:26)

• The latest research published by Harvard University about how many teenagers are having sex and unprotected sex compared to previous generations (8:40)
• Why you shouldn’t be concerned if you think you’re having less sexual experiences than your friends (9:50)
• When should you have sex? (11:31)
• Why you shouldn’t have sex if you feel under pressure to do it (12:25)
• What should you do if someone asks you to have sex when you’re under the influence of alcohol or drugs? (13:58)
• How it can be a mistake to think having sex will help you feel more loved (15:37)

• What need to do to keep yourself and your partner safe when you decide to have sex (21:14)
• What you absolutely must do if you ever have any form of unprotected sex (23:16)

“Create an environment with your family and friends where you feel safe to talk about sex so you can educate yourself and empower yourself in this important area of life.”

Beyoncé was in the news again last week because she won more MTV Video Music Awards! 

You probably know Beyoncé is a super successful singer and songwriter. She rose to fame in the late 90s as a member of Destiny’s Child. She went solo in 2003 and her career took off to a whole new level. 

During her record-breaking career, Beyoncé has sold over 100 million records as a solo artist, and a further 60 million with Destiny's Child. She has won 20 Grammy Awards and is the most awarded artist of all time by the MTV Video Music Awards. 

But how does she do it? What is she doing that enables her to succeed so much? 

In this episode of The Unstoppable Teen Podcast Kevin share three performance hacks he’s stolen from Beyoncé and shows how you can use them to increase your own levels of success.

“Don’t follow the crowd. It’s by being creative and taking risks that you make it to the top.”

You will learn: 

• How Beyoncé got started in the music industry and developed her career. (2:01)
• How to get help from Kevin to fix the problems you face. (5:37)
• Why it’s important to be innovative and keep finding different ways to improve your performance. (6:43)
• Why you’ve got to be brave and take risks if you want to be successful. (8:06)
• What makes the difference between succeeding once, versus staying at the top over a long period of time? (9.20)
• How Beyoncé uses rehearsal time to hone her skills and to get ready to perform at her best in high-pressure situations. (10:33)
• How successful people often create an alter ego to get in ‘The Zone’ and amplify aspects of their personality when they need to perform. (12:40)
• How to avoid one of the most common mistakes that causes students to underachieve in school. (16:05)
• Where you can get your hands on Kevin’s new book, The Ultimate Youth Lifestyle, for free! (18:04)
