Harnessing Your Human Nature for Success with Robert Greene Apr 17, 2019

Show notes

Today we welcome back on the show the 6x international bestselling author, Robert Greene. Robert has had huge impact in my life with books like Mastery, 48 Laws of Power, and the 33 Strategies of War. And in this episode we go deep on his newest book - and my new favorite -The Laws of Human Nature,a brilliant consolidation of the various theories on human nature - how to better understand them and use them to grow. We dive deep into:

You are a lot weirder than you think you are. WE ALL ARE in fact. We're repressing so many sides of who we are - most often without even knowing it. We're trying to stand out. We're trying to fit in. The stuff we repress and try to hide are like a stranger within us. Knowing all this - and how to navigate it - gives us personal power.
It it possible to harness our "dark side" for increased creativity, wisdom, strength and character? Robert argues that, not only is it something worth tapping into, it's THE source of power missing in your life.
Robert's recent near-death experience has given him a profound sense of gratitude, how it has compelled him to be more patient and has challenged him to apply the advice he offers to others.
That ugly, self-sabotaging voice in our head…how to manage and counteract it to increase joy and personal performance. it's no surprise that we create our own circumstances by the attitudes we have (self-perpetuating) - but Robert gives us new strategies to change our own attitudes.

In short - this interview is a doozie. We cover the parts of Human Nature that you've had a hunch about but never had the guts to dig into, for fear of what you might find. Robert has done this research for us - in a heartfelt and nuanced way - and delivers us to the doorstep of answers that surprise, frighten, delight, and most definitely makes us think. Enjoy!

Don't Let Fear Decide Your Future with Tabatha Coffey Apr 10, 2019

Show notes

Tabatha Coffey is an Australian entrepreneur and TV personality. Her no-nonsense approach and savvy business mind inspires us to take charge of our lives, and - most importantly - make the tough decisions required for us to live the lives we were meant to live. I recently took a class from Tabatha called How to be Bold, Resilient & Better Than Ever and I was very impressed. So impressed that I managed to share some of my favorite parts of the class here with you. In this episode, Tabatha delivers some great, hard-hitting truths around fear, heart, and mindset. We also cover:

How so many of the stories we tall ourselves are exactly what's holding us back. Tabatha helps us recognize those stories.
Fear is a lot of things. Of course it's stress and worry, but it can also be a barometer for action.
How our stories become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How to flip the fear script and build better resiliency against our unhealthy thoughts

Addiction, Reinvention, and Finding Ultra with Endurance Athlete Rich Roll Apr 03, 2019

Show notes

Rich Roll is a New York Times best selling author, endurance athlete, parent and beautiful human being. He first came across my radar a few years ago when he completed FIVE Iron Mans in five consecutive days. That's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, finished off with a marathon in one day — TIMES 5 DAYS!! On the show, we dive into reinvention, overcoming addiction and depression, explore plant based diets, and his spiritual calling... We also cover:

After a decade of living what he though the "American dream of success" was, he found himself miserable and in a career that he pursued because he thought that's what we should do. He shares his journey OUT OF THE MESS… and advice for pursuing what our hearts tell us.
We cover parenting and helping to develop agency in our kids and future generations - to leave the planet better off than we found it.
And, how embracing our weakness, our struggles, and our pain in life - just might be our strongest ally in living the life we were meant to live…

This episode is a whopper. Enjoy!

Diversifying Creativity with TONL Mar 27, 2019

Show notes

By working to highlight a diverse set of narratives from under represented populations, Joshua Kissi and Karen Okonkwo — two of Inc Magazine's 30 Under 30 — are addressing a huge gap in the creative market. Karen was at Arizona State University when she decided to start a blog for sorority women. It gained immediate attention. Yet, when a friend asked why there wasn't any African Americans showcased on the site, she was defensive. As an African American herself, she thought - of course we do! But as she pulled out her phone and started scrolling through the site, she realized her friend was right. She had fallen into the subconsciously biased, racially one-sided trap. Desperately focused on change, she began to showcase all types of women of color, sexual orientation, and under represented groups on her site. But she had a sense she was not doing enough. This work caught the attention of the Ghanian-American fashion, lifestyle, and brand photographer Joshua Kissi, and together they co-created TONL a photography and media agency focused on creating images of diverse people and sharing their stories with the world. Enjoy this inspirational, heartfelt and meaningful story of self reflection, discovery, creativity, and action, as we drop in on their presentation from CreativeLive's PhotoWeek.

Do Something Different with Jason Mesnick Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

After a difficult divorce, Jason Mesnick wanted to rediscover himself, rekindle his sense of adventure, and try something new. That was his mantra. And it sparked an unexpected journey that pushed him into the leading role in the 13th season of The Bachelor.

Though he presents himself as a "normal guy" he clearly has lived an extraordinary reality tv experience that so few of us have (and of course we talk about this in depth, how unusual it really was) — but also how in many ways it's a journey that parallels ours...building a living and a life around the things we love. Jason is a sage when it comes to coaching us to our follow inner instincts, focus on what matters, and take chances to expand our lives in unexpected ways. I'm pretty sure this interview is a side of a reality TV star that few people have ever experienced.

In this episode we also:

Dig into the very unique world that is The Bachelor TV show. As someone who admittedly doesn't watch the show (but I'm married to someone who does!) it was a fascinating and at some times head scratching experience receiving very honest account from someone at the epicenter of prime time reality TV.
Explore Jason's mindset for vulnerability and overcoming fear and rejection.
Of course we get some inner scoop on his fantastic relationship with his wife, Molly Mesnick and their entire family
Hear from Jason what his key takeaways were from the experience, and how he's parlayed his experience into big success as an entrepreneur in real estate.

The Power of Happiness with Vanessa Van Edwards Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

I've always taken the approach that you don't do something to become happy — you are happy, and great things happen. Happiness is a super power that we all have in us. Admittedly this is a very tough mindset to keep, so I brought an expert on the topic: my good friend Vanessa Van Edwards.

Vanessa bills herself as a "behavioral investigator" - what that means is that she is absolutely amazing at unpacking what makes people do the things they do and turning that into proven, actionable techniques. She's written for publications like CNN, Fast Company and Forbes and is the author of the new (and incredibly good) book "Captivate: The Science Of Succeeding With People." You've heard me talk many times about the critical importance of soft skills in building a successful career as a creator, and Vanessa is THE authority on this mega-important topic.

You might be thinking happiness can be a bit of a soft topic. It's the age old question right? What's the secret to happiness? We're all on that journey, and what Vanessa so masterful does is use research backed studies to help us zero in on what really matters to us, how we cultivate that more, and bring awareness to the things that might be negatively affecting our happiness.

In today's episode,

45% of people largest source of unhappiness is feeling unfulfilled. But here's the thing - If you never prioritize your happiness, no one else will.
Why the "When / Then mindset" never works … When I _____ then I'll be happy. We don't need to put off happiness for "someday"
Our brain is wired for the negative bias, which helps keep us safe, but when we're constantly scanning for things that could be wrong it totally blocks us from enjoying the good. We're our own buzzkill. The good news is even though our brain is wired for it, but we can re-wire it.

The material in her course goes much deeper than what I was able to share here, and I highly recommend you go check her class on CreativeLive if you want more. I also encourage you to check out the large number of free materials available for download that can help you audit your current happiness level, as well as some powerful tools to maximize your happiness.

Remember, happiness does not happen because we are successful, success happens because we are happy.
