Today we have Bryan Falchuk on the show. I resonate so much with Bryan’s work because it’s very much about bettering ourselves, our lives, and our relationships but always through the lens of focusing on what we can control – which is only ourselves… our actions, our reactions, our interpretations. And he shares a life altering concept that we actually have a lot more control than we realize.

Bryan Falchuk is a best-selling author, speaker and coach. His first book, Do a Day, teaches the philosophy he developed to find your true motivation, set meaningful goals and achieve them by freeing yourself of judgment of the past and fear of the future. His latest book, The 50 75 100 Solution: Build Better Relationships, helps people see the power they have to make their relationships healthier and happier. Both his books come directly from his experience facing his own barriers so he could move his life forward. Bryan's work has been featured in many top publications like Inc. Magazine, Business Insider, The LA Times, Chicago Tribune and more. He is a frequent speaker at corporate events, conferences, universities and has spoken at multiple TEDx events. Bryan holds an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and has been a C-level executive and board advisor in the insurance and tech spaces.

We discuss:

• Why it sometimes takes rock bottom – or as Bryan calls it, a wreckoning – to get us to face our issues.
• The delicate balance between facing and processing our past and moving forward, and how we tend to get stuck somewhere in the middle.
• How recognizing our emotions, giving them space, validating them, and picking them apart is the key to moving forward.
• How taking the time to analyze our decisions and our reactions can empower us to make real change in our life.
• The interplay of actions and reactions and how a concept in Bryan’s book, The 50 75 100 Solution, can help us better ourselves and all the relationships in our lives.
• How to understand our deeper driving forces so they can help us better understand our decisions, and the same goes for others – understanding they too have deeper internal drivers and how that impacts their decisions and actions.
• And finally, how to find long-lasting motivation and it’s relationship with self-love.
