How to train yourself to care less what others think Nov 17, 2017

Show notes

The human brain is wired to overvalue the opinions of our peers....it served us back when were roaming the African savanna, but it doesn't serve us as much now. That feeling you get when your friends talk mess about you, when your parents disapprove, or when you miss a shot in a game...That feeling paralyzes many and prevents them from taking risks or doing what is necessary. You cannot be a victim to this disease, you have to learn how to overcome the fear of others opinions...but how? How can you practically and systematically build immunity to what stops so many others? In this episode, I show you how I approach this problem.

Celebrity Reality Check: My Mindset Coaching Strategy for Kendall Jenner Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

Although you cannot always relate to the problems of these big name celebrities and superstars, a lot of times it's really easy to see how mentally weak some of them are and how much help they need in terms of developing a more dominate mindset and bulletproof confidence and certainty. I've done something very different in this episode, and I am sure it will rub some of you the wrong way. What I've done is taken Kendall Jenner, and broken down my strategy of how I would work with her if given a chance. I got the chance to see some of her mental weaknesses, and I know how these weaknesses will affect her if not addressed. How many "celebrities" have we seen meltdown and flame out after controversies or adversity? In the episode, I talk directly to Kendall, and give her a few doses of reality along with my prescribed course of action to help her take the game over and be mentally unstoppable. I'll be doing these celebrity reality checks on more athletes and celebrities as they expose their weaknesses to the general public, so stay tuned and give me your feedback.
