#451: Athlete and Entrepreneur Rob Lipsett on Where Motivation Comes From, Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone and The Importance Of Choosing The Right Spouse! Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Rob Lipsett is an athlete, physique competitor, youtuber and entrepreneur.

Most of you will know Rob, either from following his massive YouTube channel of over 470k followers and his Instagram page with over 650k followers, but this is also his hat trick appearance on the podcast.

He was on all the way back on Episode 80 and again for episode 205 (both will be linked in the episode description).

On top of running, owning and being a part of several businesses, he is also the host of the podcast The Game Plan (named after his best-selling book) , which can be found everywhere podcasts are found.

Rob is always brilliant to speak with and I think this third episode is the best yet.

Here are some of the things we talked about on today's podcast:

Where motivation comes from
Monk mode and when to use it to get sh*t done
Deep work, being productive and finding passion in your life
The question everyone needs to ask themselves regularly
The importance of choosing the right spouse or partner
Learning from past relationship and business failures
And much more.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:

His own personal weight loss journey and going from 130kg to a lean, healthy and happy weight.
His mental health issues, the importance of having good people around you and how he manages it now

#448: Dr. Andrea Grayson on The Sugar Dilemma, 5 Pathways Of Sugar Dependency and Is Your Morning Porridge Spiking Your Blood Sugar Levels? Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Grayson is a behavior change communications consultant who teaches about Public Health Communications in the Master of Public Health Program in the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.

Her life changed in 2016 when she suddenly realized that she had been concealing a lifelong dependence on sugar and carbs beneath a web of denial ("It's just a sweet tooth") and rationalization ("I've been good so deserve a treat").

After she taught herself to quit, she started helping others do the same by creating the program Breaking Free from Sugar, which has helped over 3,000 people successfully reduce how much sugar they eat. That program is shared in her book "The Sweet Tooth Dilemma".

In today's podcast, we discuss all things sugar and what we can do to get it under control to improve our waistline, mood and energy levels.

Here is what we talked about:

Processed and refined vs natural sugar – what you need to know
The difference between sugar and food addictions
The porridge to avoid when trying to manage blood sugar levels
The 5 pathways of sugar dependency
Sugar misconceptions
The non-obvious things to avoid
And more

#446: My Kyrgyzstan Disaster: Getting Sick, Trying To Force Being Well and When Sh*t Just Happens! Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

Today's podcast is a solo episode.

As opposed to a recap podcast or even going through what happened in detail (as I sum that up in about 5 minutes) – I talk through some of the mindset elements I struggled with the most: expecting the unexpecting, just because something is difficult doesn't make it valuable, not forcing things to happen etc

Hopefully there is a value here regardless of what stage of life you are in or the difficulties you may be currently going through.

Short written recap:

As some of you know, I flew out to Kyrgyzstan (beside China) to run 200km over five days up the Tian Shan mountain range. The plan was to hike for three days to acclimatize to the altitude and then run for 5 days up Tian Shan; but unfortunately, after picking up an infection in the capital Bishek, I only made basecamp 1 before I got hit with severe sickness.

Here's the story about it and what I learnt from the experience.

Paul Scanlon on The Art of Unlearning, Developing 'Get Back Up' Skills When Life Gets Difficult and Why It's Okay To Outgrow People (From The 2021 Archive) Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

This episode first aired on 3rd May 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Paul Scanlon has trained and mentored people for over 30 years as a keynote speaker all over the world. After three decades in the not-for-profit sector, Paul has successfully transitioned and reinvented himself as an educator through both his LIVE and online Masterclass events in Communication, Leadership, and Personal Development. Paul's three strands of focus are: Communication, Leadership, and Human Flourishing. His hallmark is making complex things simple. Paul passionately believes it's more important to grow people than things. He believes that there's greatness in everyone and knows that most need the help of a well- chosen coach or mentor to discover it. He is also the host of the podcast Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon. This was a fantastic conversation and one I am very grateful for having. Although Paul's microphone quality isn't as high as other podcast guests, the value he speaks more than makes up for it. This was a mini therapy session for me so I hope you get as much from it as I did. Key Points ∙One of the big traps people fall into, especially with the political and cultural climate nowadays, is boxing themselves into a certain identity, or what Paul calls "labels". By labeling yourself solely by your sex, race, political affiliation, or religion, you adopt the "ghetto mentality" and limit your potential to grow and connect with people around you. Avoid imprisoning yourself in an echo chamber and open your mind to all that the world offers. ∙Social media has normalized our natural human tendencies to focus on the "highlight reels" of those we admire. This has created a generation of people who lack "getting- back-up" skills. Paul encourages us to read stories of great people and pay attention more to how they recover from setbacks than to the glitz and glamour of success that only comes after endless trials and hardships. ∙It's so hard to let go of beliefs, habits, and behaviours that are no longer serving us because 1) we don't know what to replace it with, and 2) we often learn these things via people we respect like our parents, and we fear upsetting that person by changing. It's okay to outgrow people. In fact, almost every new version of you that emerges involves leaving someone behind.

Logan Ury on Dating, Attachment Styles, How To Break Up With Someone, Finding Love and How To Build A Relationship That Lasts! (From The 2021 Archive) Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

This episode first aired on 26th April 2021

Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review.

Logan is a behavioral scientist turned dating coach, and the author of How To Not Die Alone.

As the Director of Relationship Science at the dating app Hinge, she leads a research team dedicated to helping people find love. After studying psychology at Harvard, she ran Google's behavioral science team—the Irrational Lab.

Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME. The Washington Post, GQ, Glamour, Vice, and on HBO and the BBC.

Today's podcast goes deep on all things dating and relationships. It's a full-circle podcast from meeting someone to breakups and finding the one—we cover it all today. Also, I touch on some of my personal attachment styles and previous dating tendencies; so, today's episode goes through some new topics not previously explored on the podcast.

Key Points

· Each of the three dating tendencies have to do with unrealistic expectations. The romanticizer has unrealistic expectations of relationships. The maximizer has unrealistic expectations of their partner. The hesitator has unrealistic expectations of themselves. Unrealistic expectations of any kind create huge problems because, even if things are going great, the person is never satisfied with what they have at present.

· Our society has become obsessed with "the spark": the idea of instant chemistry, that pang of connection; that feeling when you walk into a room and everything else fades and you can only focus on that person. Now, the spark is a wonderful thing; but you should not be selecting your long-term life partner based on it as it's nothing more than a first impression. Instead, go for the slow burn and get to know the person beyond first impressions.

· Becoming ready for marriage is a matter of the level of your intentionality. You have to exercise the same muscles that you do to strengthen your growth mindset and goal-orientedness and know how you want your future to look. With regard to marriage itself, ask yourself a series of questions, such as whether you see yourself with your

partner in the long run and how you've both weathered conflict. Then, ask your partner questions such as how many kids you want to have, the religion you want to raise them on, and how you want to manage your finances.
