Four stories, four diagnoses: Epilepsy, ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia. 

Imagine going through life not realizing why you seem to perceive the world differently than others, perhaps invoking some self-doubt and anxiety about it along the way. Only to later in life finally get an explanation as to why. Would that be a traumatic diagnosis or one of relief by way of the explanations it offered?

There is a message here for everyone, regardless of any “disorder” or neurological condition you may or may not have.

Kristin Taylor, Jennifer Sapp, Caroline Exum, and Mallu Moilenen all have a lesson to offer in this episode.

Iain Maclean is the author of “TJ’s War” - a creative non-fiction account of his father’s time during WWII that is reminiscent of an Ernest Hemingway novel.

We discuss the core elements of success in life, such as surrounding yourself with good people; the importance of realizing that a lot of people in charge are mostly pretending they know what they’re talking about; and ultimately, the best life is one lived in a state of constant and total amazement.

Find out more about the book and read Iain’s blog at https://www.tjswar.com/

Forget motivation. Motivation gets you started, but discipline gets you finished. You also need to have “a bloody good reason why” you want to do something.

Gav Gillibrand - coach, author, and sports nutritionist - discusses why people fail, why self-discipline is more important than motivation, and why moderation, not elimination, are the keys to success in fitness. Moreover, these tactics are useful for ANYTHING you want to accomplish in life.

Check out Gav’s website at gavgillibrand.com.
