Eliot returned to the BJJ competition scene in 2016 and began tallying wins against some of the best jiu-jitsu competitors in the world while donating his entire purse to help Easton students, who might be struggling with anxiety or depression, receive the care and therapy they otherwise couldn't afford.

    73. Listen And Become Successful | James Beck Oct 01, 2021
    Show notes

    James Beck is a TEDx Speaker, Relationship Building Expert, Author, Innovator, Structural Integration Therapist, creator of Beck Balance Wellness Workshops, and founder of Give Beck, teaching people how to transform relationships through service to others. His childhood was defined by an abusive father and suicide attempt, resulting in his dad dedicating 6 years to successfully repairing their relationship. After speaking as a youth minister, he was encouraged by the audience to share lessons from that experience, which he wrote about in his book, Hey Dad, Remember Me? – Breaking Patterns of Generational Dysfunction.

    In an attempt to remove the remaining PTSD and anxiety that lingered from childhood, he developed a way to use service as a means to create new neural pathways adjusting perspective and behavior. James tested his theory in a nationwide, year-long social experiment. He gave away his possessions and served one person or family in each state for three days, only asking that they Pay-It-Forward. This epic journey reveals the kind of life-changing transformation that only happens when you learn to 'Live by Giving.'

    James teaches individuals and organizations how to use a service mindset to build, grow, maintain, and repair relationships, resulting in a remarkable ripple effect. One which has the ability to not only change your life and those around you but also the lives of strangers you may never meet.

    71. It's Possible | Les Brown Aug 04, 2021
    Show notes

    Les Brown is an American motivational speaker. He was born with his twin brother, Wesley, in Liberty City, a low- income section of Miami, Florida. He was adopted by Mamie Brown, a 38-year-old single woman who worked as a cafeteria attendant and domestic assistant. Brown was declared "educable mentally retarded" in grade school, which damaged his self-esteem and confidence.

    When he first decided to get into public radio, he was repeatedly unsuccessful. It was only after the on-air failures of the previous afternoon DJ that he was hired full-time. Upon his termination from the radio station, he ran for election in the Ohio House of Representatives and won. After leaving the Ohio State Legislature, he shifted his career to television and became a host on PBS.

    From September to November 1993, he hosted a talk show, The Les Brown Show. Brown was on KFWB in California for a daily syndicated radio program from 2011 to 2012.

    In 1994, he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. The doctor informed him that the cancer had consumed 43% of his T1 vertebrae and had metastasized to seven parts of his body. Brown reports that when he heard "seven," he smiled, which befuddled the doctor. "Seven is my lucky number," he explained. Being a Bible-believing Christian, Brown took hope in the multiple affirmative references to "seven" in the Bible. Brown was given two-and-a-half years to live but blew past the dire prognosis.

    67. The Biggest "Secret" To Success | Peter Taunton Jul 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Peter grew up from humble beginnings in a small midwestern town in Willmar, Minnesota. After finishing high school Peter paid his own way through the first three years of college in Minnesota but decided to quit his junior year. He lived with his twin brother at the time, who also decided to quit, and keeping it a secret from their parents while they continued to live in their dorm room through the rest of the semester, they worked on their racquetball skills.

    With a tremendous amount of practice, Peter's level increased dramatically, and he eventually became a sponsored player for Ektelon and turned pro. The discipline and dedication learned while playing at such a high level later fueled his success in business. His discipline, consistency, and competitive nature found he and his brother ranked as the No. 2 doubles team in the country.

    It was racquetball and one fateful call that led to Peter running and soon owning his first health club. Before moving to Orlando, Florida to compete in the Sunbelt Tour, he called the owners of the local club where he practiced in Willmar, Minnesota. Even in his early twenties, Peter had a good head on his shoulders and knew the club was losing money. He pointed out to the owners that the manager they had in place was not engaged with the members or the community and didn't understand the importance of delivering an exceptional customer service experience to its members. He told the owners if they ever wanted to turn things around to give him a call, and a year and a half later, they did.

    Peter was promised only $16,000 a year in salary but a chance to buy out the owners if the business turned around. Within five years, through bartering for interior upgrades, and training the staff to peak performance, membership sales skyrocketed... growing the club profits from losing $200,000 a year to gaining $250,000 in profit. He secured ownership and with the debt paid down, over the next 15 years he repeated that cycle building 6 more health clubs to what became the brand America's Fitness Centers.

    Taunton's accomplishments have been well-recognized by the business community. In 2010, he was named Ernst and Young "Entrepreneur of the Year." His companies have also been featured in such prestigious industry lists as Entrepreneur 500, Inc 5000, Top Global and Franchise 500.
