How often do you feel and experience unbridled joy?

Everyday, every week, rarely, never.

Whatever measure speaks to you, joy is something we can unlock. And it is the question of how that Saj Shah and I address in this conversation.

Saj Shah is a force of nature whose recent Ted Talk was the most watched talk worldwide for the month of March. His book Joynetix: Unlock Your Joy Potential is a must read. And Saj just happens to be one of my closest friends.

Over the last two years this podcast has been committed to taking listeners beyond what they know and to create a future not based on the past. To learn what Sam Kukathas is up to now head here

Moment by moment we have choices about how we show up in the world, for others, ourselves and what matters to us.

The noise of modern life and the seeming expectations of the new normal can lead us to feel like we have lost who we are.

But what if we never knew and we were just working with from the script we inherited?

What would it be like if you could to get to the source of constraints and then disappear them?

What would it be like if you listened for people’s humanity not from the default judgement that creates distance and disconnection?

If you would like to explore further how you can go beyond what you know, and live life from discovery, then sign up to Who Are You Really Group Coaching with myself, The Philosophical Coach. Here you will be with other like minded people to explore and push boundaries about perceived limitations and break past who you know yourself to be in life as a leader, performer, communicator …human being.

How do you lead with authenticity in both your professional and day to day life? 

This question could not be more pertinent right now during a period of unprecedented upheaval in the workforce. Countless people are leaving their jobs because they don't experience the kind of leadership that inspires, supports and gives people space to grow. The impact of the Great Resignation is expanding not decreasing.

In this conversation, I had the pleasure of working with Neelu Kaur, a Corporate Facilitator, Leadership & NLP Coach, and Stress Management Specialist.  We offer a context that creates an opportunity for you to bring authenticity to your life – both professional and personal.

What would it be like if you had freedom from anxiety as opposed to just seeking to manage anxiety?

When I interview leaders around this it is not in the realm of possibility for them. In fact many equate freedom from anxiety as simply being able to manage it better.

The hold of anxiety is so pervasive, that when I ask ‘Will you always have anxiety?’ the answers are either an emphatic ‘yes’ or ‘I hope not’.

I believed having anxiety was my lot in life and I just had to make the best of it.

The impact for me was crippling, and the cost was extreme. From the outside it looked like I was ‘making it’ but eventually for me everyday became a struggle.

How do you reignite the spark to alter the trajectory of your life?

What if you had the power to get out of your own way, to break through resistance, because you stepped into a bigger game by getting clear there was something bigger than you at stake? What would that be like?

This is the superpower that I discuss with my guest Jeff Le as he takes us through pivotal moments in his life where he developed the ability to act from this place. In doing so he started achieving things which are remarkable.

Jeff Le has had a career at the highest levels of public policy and politics at the state, federal and international levels. A recognized thought leader in political advocacy and representation, his analysis and opinions have been featured on MSNBC, broadcast television in 40 states, as well as in print at such publications as POLITICO Magazine, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, and Forbes.

Today we are looking at How To Embrace Pain to Avoid Suffering with Brian Bogert.

There are times where you speak to someone and it energises your being and alters your thinking. This is what Brian Bogert brings to the table. There is a sleeping giant in every human. Awakening those giants within and turning them into legends, by helping individuals grab just what’s out of their grasp, is Brian’s purpose in this life. Brian is a heart surgeon without a blade. He does not start outside with what you need to do, he starts inside with who you are. In a world that is disconnected, Brian is revolutionizing how individuals, leaders, and entrepreneurs deeply connect with their authentic selves to achieve the best version of themselves.

In this conversation you will learn about Brian's life philosophies on “how to embrace pain to avoid suffering”.

We will tackle authenticity as a buzz word versus what he calls radical authenticity.

And we will look at the foundational question of this show, 'who are you really?' and is there an answer to this question.

If you are not blown away by this episode I will eat my hat.

Most of us, if not all of us, experience what we have come to call imposter syndrome.

Why do we experience imposter syndrome?

Why is it possible to get to the root cause of an issue and yet still feel stuck?

And is imposter syndrome just tied to some fundamental belief about who you see yourself to be really?

And if so, what would be possible if we could give it up?

These are some of the questions that Michele Molitor – founder and CEO of Nectar Consulting Inc., and co-author of the best-selling book “Breakthrough Healing” – and I explore here.

Trauma, whether we relate to it this way or not, is something every human experiences. But the significance it has for us, what it looks like, and its impact can not only vary but drastically shape what possibilities we believe we can make real in our lives.

In this episode I share some of what neuroscience and mindfulness have taught me about seeing, thinking, and happiness. The intention is that you will be able to start to experiment with these practices and see what difference they make in how you see yourself, others, and provide you with the tools to shift your overall experience of life from moment to moment.

Confrontation as something to embrace not avoid.

The importance of context sensitivity of in shaping our experience.

The benefit of challenging common views that you can control your thoughts.

A different way of capturing the idea of limiting beliefs and triggers.

Today Jay Shifman and I are peeling back how we understand mental health.

It is Jay’s mission to encourage difficult conversations and honest education concerning these and similar struggles. And since 2015 his company Choose Your Struggle has been working on two distinct goals; ending stigma and ensuring that those who struggle receive the help they deserve.

In this episode we do not hold back, we look at: anxiety, bipolar, the danger of mental health labels, misdiagnoses, suicide, OCD, ADHD.

We look, when it comes to mental health, at the importance of destigmatisation, what we can do differently and where there is a case for optimism, especially in the UK thanks to the ripple effect of the work of companies like Sanctus.
