Dr Caroline Leaf Unboxing - How To Heal Your Mind of It's Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Traumas, & Toxic Thinking Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.

During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace.

Dr. Leaf is also the bestselling author of Switch on Your Brain, Think Learn Succeed, Think and Eat Yourself Smart, and many more. She teaches at academic, medical and neuroscience conferences, churches, and to various audiences around the world. Dr. Leaf is also involved in the global ECHO movement, which trains physicians worldwide on the mind-brain-body connection, mental health and how to avoid physician burnout.

Dr. Leaf is currently conducting clinical trials using the 5-step program she developed while in private practice to further demonstrate the effectiveness of mind-directed techniques to help relieve mental ill-health problems such as anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts. The primary aim of these trials is to make mental health care more affordable, applicable, and accessible worldwide, and to reduce the stigma around mental health.

Lecrae Unboxing - Being Restored From A Broken Past Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

A multi Grammy Award–winning platinum-selling artist, Lecrae has evolved into a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker, thought leader, philanthropist, and co-owner/president of Reach Records. To date, he has sold more than three million copies and has been nominated for five Grammy Awards including a win for Best Gospel Album, 15 Dove Awards, one Billboard Music Award, and has received both a Soul Train Music Award and BET Hip Hop Award nomination. From his 2017 album, All Things Work Together, his single “I’ll Find You” ft. Tori Kelly is now certified platinum by the RIAA (sold over one million copies), and “Blessings” ft. Ty Dolla $ign is now gold (sold over 500k). In addition to his new book, I Am Restored, Lecrae will release a new album, Restoration, and documentary in 2020. Lecrae resides in Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife and three children.

About 'I Am Restored'

Two-time GRAMMY-winning hip-hop artist and bestselling author Lecrae had inspired millions with his redemptive and gut-honest art. But when his personal life spun into chaos, he was forced to face the buried impact of the unhealed wounds--sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression--that threatened to tear it all apart. Along the way, he realized the wounds we all carry have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves and others.

With vulnerable honesty and transformational yet simple steps you can apply today, Lecrae shares the personal practices he uses in his daily life for mental, emotional, and spiritual health. With powerful prose, he gives an unflinching look at the personal and public spaces that sadly hurt us so often--culture, politics, family, church, personal failure--and reminds us that learning to let go and forgive is the birthplace for the life of creativity and freedom God has for us.

I Am Restored is an inspiring charge to embrace the lasting healing and restoration available now, and that we all desperately long for, because no matter what you've experienced, God is near, He hears, and He's not done with you yet.

Robert Greene Unboxing - The Nature of Power, Seduction, Laws, War and Mastery Feb 21, 2021

Show notes

About Robert

Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, and Mastery. In his highly anticipated sixth book, The Laws of Human Nature, he turns to the most important subject of all – understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control. He shows how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people’s masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene’s books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry (including Jay-Z, Drake, and 50 Cent). Greene attended U.C. Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he received a degree in classical studies. He currently lives in Los Angeles.

Shawn Stevenson Unboxing - How You Can Eat Smarter, Sleep Smarter & Become A Model of Great Health Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

What is Model Health?

"Hi, I’m Shawn Stevenson, and I’m the creator and host of The Model Health Show. Every week for the past few years I’ve been releasing a new “masterclass” episode diving into a wide range of health-related topics. But this isn’t your average health information that you learned about in school. We go beyond the books and uncover the very best health information in the world. And we also do it with style, fun, and lots of heart!

SPEAKING OF HEART…

I couldn’t do what I do without my family.

They inspire me each day to want to be a better man and a greater example for what’s possible. THIS is what The Model Health Show really stands for. It’s about creating a model, your own model, that inspires you to live your best life and also inspires the world around you. You are here to create your own unique model of health, happiness, and success. And I’m here to show you how.

A big part of The Model Health Show is the masterclass episodes that I do as a solo artist (I would probably be making music if I didn't outgrow my Thriller jacket). It's a unique part of the show that I put my heart and soul into to create the definitive guide on each subject matter for you. Whether it’s understanding the science behind different forms of exercise, strategies for weight loss and reversing insulin resistance, or natural treatments for depression, when you click play, you will feel empowered.

Besides the solo shows, I also strive to bring on the very best people on the planet in their respective fields for you.

Whether it’s hormone health, epigenetics, anti-aging science, or anything else, you’re going to hear from the world’s best here."

Nancy Ganz Unboxing - Guiding Yourself To Become Better Decision Makers Despite Obstacles & Challenges Feb 14, 2021

Show notes

Nancy J. Ganz is an author, internationally-certified Executive & Parenting Coach, and Harvard-trained Mediator & Negotiator. Using her proprietary parenting tools and techniques that she developed over decades working with parents and children, she helps parents to lay the foundation for healthy emotional development, decisive-thinking, a positive mindset, and proactive conflict resolution skills.

Ganz’s Feel Good Fables are stories that subtly guide children to become empowered decision-makers, confident in their own skin, navigate through grief, overcome obstacles, grow in empathy and appreciation of the diverse world around them. Tina Searches for Her Dream is the first of the twelve books in the collection, which will be released in February 2021. A serial entrepreneur and successful Executive and Parenting Coach, Ganz was inspired to write these children’s books in response to situations that her clients’ children and my own children faced - from bullying to dealing with friends moving away, to feeling “less than” in comparison to others, to needing to learn the importance of sustainability and more.

For Ganz, sharing a message rooted in confidence, self-love and empathy is only one part of the equation. She believes it’s equally important for children to see themselves represented in the books they read and is committed to depicting diversity in all forms. When purchasing a copy of Tina Searches for Her Dream, buyers can choose the skin tone of their lead character from a lightest, medium, or deepest option. Beyond the heroine, the book features a diverse cast of characters, which includes children of different races, religions, and genders.

Mateo Askaripour Unboxing - Learn To Speak Your Truth No Matter The Obstacles In Your Way Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT

Not yet 30, Mateo included many semi-autobiographical elements in BLACK BUCK. He’s spent the majority of his career leading sales teams, and experienced much of the world of startups you seein the book. Before writing BLACK BUCK, Mateo realized he had been avoiding writing about themes closest to his life: race, sales, and startups. “As I probed my reluctance to write about these topics,” says Mateo, “I also realized that I felt a sense of obligation to help Black and other people of color in ways I didn’t when, at the age of 24, I managed 30 people at a tech startup. I hired many people of color, but I should have made it a focus. So I set out to write a book that was an engaging narrative, but could also double as a sales manual to help people get ahead.”

About Mateo Askaripour

MATEO ASKARIPOUR’s work aims to empower people of color to seize opportunities for advancement, no matter the obstacle. He was a 2018 Rhode Island Writers Colony writer-in-residence, and his writing has appeared in Entrepreneur, Lit Hub, Catapult, The Rumpus, Medium, and elsewhere. He lives in Brooklyn.
