  • How To Embrace Pain to Avoid Suffering with Brian Bogert

    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.

  • Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Michele Molitor

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


    How it looks can take many forms: triggers, anxiety, overwhelm, burn out, not belonging... to name but a few.

    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.

  • How to Go From Trauma to Deserving a Greater Possibility with Kimberly Spencer

    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 far reaching discussion with Kimberly Spencer – award-winning high-performance, trauma-informed coach, and founder of Crown Yourself –  we delve into different varieties, as well as ways of thinking about trauma and how it can show up in different aspects of our lives.

    Here are some of the key ideas to look out for:

    You will hear a new perspective:

    On PTSD.
    On deserving and what it has to do with deserving a greater possibility for your life.

    We explore:

    Creating alignment in your life and business through utilizing your zone of genius.
    How we can shift out of misalignment by looking at how we create success.
    How we can choose even when we feel trapped.

    You will learn about:

    Letting go of plagiarised programming and creating permission.
    Somatic breathing and how trauma gets trapped in the tissue.

  • Peeling Back How We Understand Mental Health with Jay Shifman

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


    Jay Shifman is a vulnerable storyteller and stigma-destroying speaker, podcaster, and event host, Jay’s story of struggle is familiar to the millions of people the world over who also struggle with issues of mental health, substance misuse, and addiction. The survivor of two suicide attempts and an overdose and is now in long-term recovery. 

    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.


    Thanks so much for listening. Please leave a review on Apple podcasts to help more listeners discover this show.

  • Building Community and Combating Social Polarisation through Real Talk Part 2

    In a world where we generally don’t like being told what to do, we rely on algorithms to ironically tell us what to do.

    Why?


    Because we want certainty so bad that we will seek it any cost.

    What is that cost? This is what Jon Dallas and I look at in the second of this two part series on Building Community and Combating Social Polarisation through Real Talk.

    Jon is an "effective activist" combating political and social polarization. He is a TEDx speaker and Founder of Real Talk Philosophy, a social philosophy events organization aiming to combat polarization with community explorations of divisive social issues, from polyamory to immigration. 

    In part two of the series we dive into our desire for certainty, and why binary thinking tends to fuel more anger, violence, and rage within society across divisive issues from politics, religion, veganism, sexual orientation. And we look at how Real Talk is combating both the tendency to see complex issues in black and white but also the suffering that this is perpetuating.


    This podcast is all about questioning what we know, and seeing where knowing gets in the way. One area that many of us limit ourselves is in the realm of leadership. We question whether we have what it takes to be leaders, effective leaders or bring our vision to reality. I have created a course to combat this it is called Creating Powerful Leaders. It is not about leadership theory or the concept of leadership, that will make little to no difference in your leadership. Instead, the course is about unlearning what is in the way of being a leader in all areas of life. If you are ready to go from being the passenger in your life to the owner of your life then for a limited time go to cpl.thephilosophicalcoach.com

  • Building Community and Combating Social Polarisation through Real Talk Part 1

    We live in a world which is divided by social issues. From religion to politics, to sexuality to toxic masculinity, the list goes on.


    The social polarization which these divisions create have led to more and more fractures within society, friends are no longer able to speak to one another, families disconnect, your political allegiance can determine whether you are a good person.

    What if there were another way, a way which can help us build community and combat social polarisation?

    There is and it requires real talk.

    Thankfully there are people taking up the mantle and Jon Dallas, has done exactly that. Jon is an "effective activist" combating political and social polarization. He is a TEDx speaker and Founder of Real Talk Philosophy, a social philosophy events organization aiming to combat polarization with community explorations of divisive social issues, from polyamory to immigration.

    In the first of a two part series we dive into social polarization around religion, politics, and toxic masculinity in a way which brings nuance to discussions which are often seen in binary terms. I both learned a lot from speaking to Jon and it opened my eyes to new ways of thinking, and I have no doubt you will as well.

    The second part of the series will be released a week from now [and all future episodes for the foreseeable future will continue to be released on Friday's.]

  • How to Let Go of Perfectionism and Be in the Moment

    Whether you are a business owner, a creative, or any other profession it is likely you can relate to this experience.


    You are either excited to start something and then you seem to pull the handbrake. Or even when you have brought your vision to reality you have stopped yourself from really sharing it with the world.

    In those moments it's like you are no longer in control and your brain has taken over and told you to sit in the backseat.

    It is this relatable experience which I coach Angie from the hit podcast Too Old for This Shit around. Her show made the charts in the comedy genre in the USA, Canada, Belgium, Taiwan within a few weeks of going live, then India a few months in, and more recently Denmark. Ireland, GB, Switzerland & New Zealand in 2021.

    Angie is not only a podcaster she is also a podcasting mentor. She creates workshops for people who want to get into podcasting but get stopped by fear around how to go about it and dealing with all the tech. And whilst her workshops are successful, there are a set of beliefs that lie in the background for her which are limiting what success can look like. And especially whether she can ever give up the 9 to 5. It is these background beliefs which are the focus of our conversation as Angie looks authentically at what is in the way of her being more in the moment and carefree.

    As you listen, I invite you to look and see whether anything comes up for you about where you may be pulling the handbrake in your life.

    If you are someone who sees or feels like they are limiting what's possible for them, and you have a big vision of what you want to create, then I invite you to check out my Leadership Masterclass. This is available for a limited time: https://workshop.thephilosophicalcoach.com/

  • How We Can Bring More Play to Our Lives, and Why It's Worth Doing with Mike Montague

    What if play was not simply frivolous, but had an exponential impact on your capacity to learn, transform, and experience joy and fulfilment?

    This is what I discuss with Mike Montague this week.

    Mike is the founder of Playful Humans, a community designed to help the burned-out and bored get re-energized and engaged with life. His mission is to help adults rediscover the power of play and avoid a midlife crisis. He is also a game show host, public speaker, podcaster, and writer, which has created opportunities for him to MC, and DJ for live events including opening for Billy Idol, Frankie Valli, and MC-ed at Toby Keith's Bar & Grill.

    Here's what to look out for:

    • The tension between a completely optimised life and the spontaneity of play. And what we can do about it. 
    • The impact ‘pushing’ or ‘forcing’ tends to have on bringing forth creativity, flow and serendipity. 
    • How karaoke can be a metaphor for life. 
    • What 12 year old Mike would say about interviewing Art Bell founder of Comedy Central.
    • How learning to be comfortable being ridiculous had transformative effects on both our lives. 
    • How fear is the number 1 killer of fun, as well as what Billy Idol taught Mike about fear.
    • Why wanting all green lights in life is a fool’s game.
    • How virality these days happens off social media.
    • The beauty of divergent thinking vs seeking the one right answer.
    • Why we need to embrace being playful humans.
    • 2 key questions to consider whilst listening:


      How is play relevant to who you are really?
      How can I bring more gamification to my life?

    • The Identity of Being Successful with Chris Jackson

      What is in the way of people experiencing fulfilment even when they have some measure of being successful?


      This is the guiding question of today's conversation with Chris Jackson. Chris is the Co-Owner of Kinetic Life. He shines a light on his clients' career path by being the project manager in their lives. He brings his expertise as an athlete to orient his practice around the question 'What does it take to win the championship of your own life?

      We explore three ways in which fulfilment is missing even in spite of people experiencing some measure of being successful. 

      • What we see is missing is at its core clarity, clarity about who we need to be to experience fulfilment. 
      • We explore the tension between being addicted to success and letting go of your edge. The edge both drives people to produce extraordinary results and it can be in tension with experiencing fulfilment, due to a lack of love and belonging. 
      • We end by going deeper into how the cliche of unconditional love has created a converse reality which leads to people so frequently missing fulfilment regardless of their success in other areas.
      • This episode is also filled with key takeaways in the form of sports analogies. Here's a few to look out for if you are as sports crazed as Chris and I.


        We look at: 

        • the 4 quarter championship strategy. 
        • the importance of discarding your BRULE filled rulebook filled with a playbook.
        •  the relevance of your offensive and defensive line, as well as home base for a holistic vision of success.
