    E.51 - Listening to Your Inner Child - Adam Rubin

    My guest on this episode is Adam Rubin co-founder of Renew. Renew is a non-profit that brings personal development and self-discovery to children and young adults. The organisation has brought programs to over 1,500 people since being founded in 2013. Adam has a Masters in Non-Profit Management and Leadership. He has worked run programs in Tanzania, Arizona and is launching next into Australia. I brought Adam onto the show because I wanted him to share what he's found on the ground level from bringing personal development and self-discovery to kids. I wanted him to speak about the results they are finding and the impact this is having on kids lives. The Walkaway - Find a Childhood Photo and Connect With Your Inner Child  The biggest takeaway for me from my conversation with Adam was the importance of connecting with your inner child. During the podcast Adam spoke about the impact Renew is having on kids. How self-development, self-love and self-discovery is having a positive impact on children. It's even improving their academic results. Very few would anticipate that doing personal development work would have a positive impact academics but it does. Countless teachers have told Adam so. Yet the impact Adam's work has goes much deeper than that. "I had something horrible happen. I looked at myself as someone who wasn't worth anything. But now since you guys have come in. I see that I have more meaning. I can love myself who I am." - Adam Rubin sharing about the impact Renew had on one girl's life And this is why it's so important to tap into our inner child. When we tap into the innocence and purity of our childish heart we can begin to start to love ourselves. We begin to be kinder on ourselves. We can take off the pressure that we put on ourselves. Suggestions Nurturing this side of ourselves allows us to find an inner ease within ourselves and gain more confidence in ourselves.  Adam suggests a few powerful questions throughout the podcast to assist connecting with your inner child: - What part of yourself are you not loving yourself unconditionally? - What emotional blocks are you carrying around? - What work needs to be done to let go of these blocks? Adam suggests finding an old childhood photo of yourself to assist with this process. A photo which you can intimately connect with and is a representation of who you were as a child (Ironically this strategy has come up in 2 podcasts in a row.) This photo is a stepping stone to reconnect with your inner child. To say I'm here for you. I'm here for you in a big way. I may be up against a lot in my adult life but I'm not turning away from you again. The 3 Step Process During the podcast Adam suggests a three step process to reconnect with your inner child. 1) SURRENDERING - surrendering begins with acknowledging that a greater being exists and that we must reconigize that we're here with a purpose higher than ourselves 2) REMEMBERING - the second step is to remember that we're all spiritual beings living in a physical body. Inside all of us is a deep loving heart and that we need to surrender to the greater process we were born for. 3) RELEASING EXPECTATIONS - too often we put too much weight and pressure on ourselves. We believe that we have so much more control over our outcome then we actually do. When we surrender and remember that we're part of a bigger process this allows to let go of some of the pressure that we put on ourselves. It's by following this process that we can begin to reconnect with our inner child. And if that feels too spiritual for you, you can start with an old photo of yourself to see what impact the photo has on you. What does your old self say to you? What needs are you neglecting? It's in this process we can begin to heal and move forward. Because as we've seen through the results that Adam has with his work, when we embrace self-development, self-love and self-discovery there are positive impacts to be embraced. And it's not just better grades.

    E.50 - How Priorities Rebuilt this Millionaire - Brian Scrone

    Brian Scrone is a real estate mogul. His company Jax Investments has done over $100 million in deals. In 2008, Brian went from riches to rags. Being a multi-millionaire prior to the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, Brian struggled to put food on the table after the market bottomed out. This led Brian to rebuild his business and LIFE more successfully than before, and write What Matters Most - which hit #1 in the self-help & motivation category on Amazon. Brain is also the founder of Family Board Meetings, a company which strengthens the relationships parents have with their children by organizing family meetings on surf boards. I brought Brian onto the podcast because I wanted him to share his story of bottoming out in 2008 and what changed afterwards. I wanted him to talk about his book "What Matters Most" and how his priorities shifted through what he learned going through the 2008 market crash. We get into this and much, much more during the podcast. The Walkaway - Congruence and Priorities are Critical to Being the "You" Imagine If there is one word that I will remember from my conversation with Brian it will be congruence. Congruence is critical because the life we believe we're living does not always align with the actual life we're actually living. This is where we need to reflect if we're living congruently. For example, Brain talked about when he worked with a high powered entrepreneur who identified himself as a "family man" yet he was working 14 hours a day and on the verge of divorce. How is it possible to identify yourself as a family man when you're not at home with your family? This is an example of misaligned priorities and we're all vulnerable to fall to this trap. So often we believe we're acting one way and yet we show up completely different in the world. This is why the 5Fs are so important to Brian - Fitness, Family, Friends, Finance and Faith. We talk about how Brian schedules these into his day and what actions he takes to ensure he's living the 5Fs. It's these actions that allow Brain to live congruently with himself and ensure he's living in alignment with his true priorities. During the podcast we talk at great length about the importance of these and why they are critical to his newfound success. He also paints a picture of what his life was like without them and it's not one he is proud of. We talk about Brain's turnaround and the importance the 5Fs played in it. Check out the podcast to hear more. What You Will Walkaway With - What does a life with priorities look like versus a life without priorities? @ 7:45 - What hitting rock bottomed looked like for Brian @ 10:45 - Brian's viewpoint on what it means to be human @ 16:15 - How Brian practices self-love and his advice for you on it @ 19:15 - The conversation and reframe that changed Brian's life @ 23:00 - What happens when you open up and forgive yourself @ 30:00 - the 5Fs and their importance @ 32:00 - How Brian got into real estate @ 44:15 - Where did he get the money to start @ 50:15 - And much, much more Connect with Brian Website - www.brianscrone.com Facebook  Mentioned in the Podcast - Simon Sinek - Tim Ferriss - Phillip McKernan - One Last Talk - Family Board Meetings

    E.49 - Gun to Your Head: From Gun Point to Car Crash - Paul Lam

    Paul Lam is the host of the Pathhunters podcast and author of Gun to Your Head: From Gun Point to Crash which hit #1 on Amazon during it's debut. I brought Paul onto the podcast to chat about the book, his launch and the events he chose to write about. I was blown away by how deep and real Paul got in the book. From sharing about the abortion he went through with his girlfriend, to being robbed at gunpoint, to losing his car in an accident. Paul shares about the impact all these events had on him and how he was able to overcome them. The One Thing to Takeaway - Face Your Advertises In the podcast, we dive into depth how Paul has been able to overcome adversity in his life. During the conversation, Paul shared his 3 step process. 1 - Let Go. The first step is to begin letting go of the event and letting yourself know that you will move on. It doesn't matter how difficult or challenging it may seem, you will move forward. Or as Paul said "this too will pass" a quote I remind myself of regularly.  2 - Be Present To It - one of the most important parts to letting an incident go is being present to it. Not allowing it to hold too much weight against you. This will allow you to come to peace with it as opposed to trying to run away from it. 3 - Reach Out To People - Paul says one of the most important things you can do is to reach out to others for support. Share what you're going through and be willing to ask for help. For Paul it meant writing a book about the difficult moments he's gone through in his life. He wanted to make these experiences an opportunity for others to learn. This may not be the path for everyone but reaching out to someone and letting them know what's happening is immensely beneficial to overcoming our adversities. Seven Things You'll Takeaway the promise Paul made to himself when he was being mugged at gunpoint what was the most difficult aspect of the abortion? what's changed for Paul since being mugged at gunpoint Paul's process for overcoming adversity what is a PathHunter? the deeper purpose behind Paul's podcast and his motivation and much, much more Connect With Paul Pathhunters.com Facebook Instagram - @pathhunters Mentioned in the Podcast - Tuan Nyugen - Theresa Gagnon

    E.48 - Shift Your Brain: Chaos to Harmony - Marc Amerigo

    Marc Amerigo is an engineer, international speaker, and pioneer of the Brain Shift Method. He was the lead engineer for the Red Barron team which holds the downhill mountain bike speed record at 228 km/hr.  He has been hired by companies like Coca Cola, BP Oil, Exxon Mobile and many others. He brings his technical experience into high stress, masculine environment but puts an interesting spin on them by additionally addressing emotion and the connection of the group. A focus which incorporates emotional intelligence something that is not usually brought into those environments or by engineers. Marc's Brain Shift Method looks at taking chaos and turning it into harmony by looking at our environment for information to gain inspiration and create solutions for our problems. Marc has been hired by companies like Coca Cola, BP Oil, Exxon Mobile and many others. He brings his technical experience into high stress, masculine environment but puts an interesting spin on them by additionally addressing emotion and the connection of the group. A focus which incorporates emotional intelligence something that is not usually brought into those environments or by engineers. I brought Marc onto the podcast for exactly that reason to talk about emotional intelligence and his experience of addressing emotion in high stress, masculine environments where emotion is typical unaddressed or unwelcome. Marc shares some highly interesting insights on this, why this is important and how world records are not achieved without addressing the emotional side. The Walkaway The one thing I walked away with from this podcast is Marc's approach to looking at his environment or as he's called it the Brain Shift Method. Our environment does have a lot of information. It leaves little bits of clues and information. Where that's through our rational thought or our emotional body our mind is constantly feeding us information. Marc says the first step is to take a step back to process this information. He even talks about how he had 20 men stop to focus on their breathing and listen to the birds near a nuclear reactor, a place that is not so pleasant. But for Marc this is integral, taking a moment to step back to understand what information is around in the environment around us. The second step is innovation. Taking the information that is around us and figuring out what tools are available to us or what tools do we need to create to be able to move forward. This is where tapping into creativity is key as he mentions. And the final step to start using the tools. To begin to move forward based on the information you've received from your environment to take chaos and turn it into harmony. As Marc said in the podcast, chaos is only a state with nature and there is beauty in chaos. We must be able to piece together the chaos in order to be to extract the information we require to move forward. What Else Will You Takeaway: How interconnected we are as groups  The importance of leadership  How Marc is able to bring sensorial and emotional wisdom into hyper-masculine and chaotic environments?  Why is you miss emotions you will the miss the mark  Marc's personal explanation of the Brain Shift Method  How to lead a tribe  How Marc is able to interconnect people in stressful environments  And much, much more  Connect With Marc  Website Facebook LinkedIn Mentioned in the Podcast Eric Barron - ericbarone.fr David Brower - my interview with him here.  Brain Shift Method

    E.47 - Improving Your Day to Day By Releasing Your Attachments - Theresa Gagnon

    Theresa Gagnon is the owner/operator of Yoga Source Studio. Yoga Source is one of the best yoga studios I've discovered in my life based on aesthetics, energy and the ambience it creates for it's students. I brought Theresa onto the show because I wanted to share her Yoga philosophies and perspective on life with you. She is one of my favourite instructors ever, and I have found her insights highly supportive along my journey. I felt having her on the show would be valuable for others and my community. The One Takeaway - Let Go of Your Attachments to Allow Yourself to Fully Develop Throughout the podcast, Theresa spoke again and again about letting go. Letting go of the physiologically, mentally, spirituality, attachments that define us. We've all adopted certain beliefs about ourselves from our life and the environment we were born into. Some of us may have adopted stronger ideologies from our parents or religion depending on how we were raised. In the Four Agreements, Miguel Miz discusses this and talks about creating a clean slate - coming into the world with a fresh start. Not bringing our past experiences, judgements or bias into our day to day. Theresa talks about the importance of letting go of these experiences, and judgements that define you, including the religion, beliefs or dogma that you were born into. These lenses continue to have an impact on you and are the reason why you fail to express yourself fully physically, emotionally and sexually in the world. In order to be happier and live our truest expression, we must be willing to let go of the experiences that are holding us back. As long as we continue to hold onto our past beliefs and are attached to our past, they will only continue to define us. And our potential, our capabilities will only continue to be stunted. 7 Things You'll Learn in this Podcast - Theresa's method for how she found herself through life @ 4:33 - What is Dharma and are you living yours? @ 8:39 - the 5 Yamas - the ethical precepts of yoga: Ahimsa, Satya, Aparigraha, Asteya & Brahmacharya @ 14:05 - Who is the Intrepid Voyageur and why it's important to you? @ 27:56 - How Theresa didn't give up on her dream and what she learned from it? @ 36:25 - How we store emotional pain in our body & what does it mean? @ 42:30 - How suppressing parts of beings is impacting you? @ 55:25 Connect with Theresa Yoga Source Website Facebook Mentioned in this Podcast Ram Vakkalanka Massachusetts Kripalu Mark Groves podcast

    E.45 - How to Authentically Connect with People - David Brower

    My guest this time around is David Brower. David worked in the entertainment industry for 20 years. He worked with Disney and headed world movie premieres in Europe and the Middle East for IMAX. After 20 years in entertainment, David decided to switch career paths. Today he is the man behind the Alivefulness Movement and founder of Sensorial Experience Days. I brought David onto the show to talk about how we can connect with people deeply and authentically through our heart versus our mind. David's Sensorial Experience Days take people on a journey of learning to connect more authentically with themselves and those around them. I wanted David to share his experiences and how we can have deeper more meaningful connections in our day to day life. The Big Takeaway - Be Open To Giving and You Shall Receive David is a master at connecting with people. In his early 20's he packed up his bags from the USA and moved to France having only taken 2 semesters of classes. David began to learn the language by submersing himself with French speaking friends. He knew that if he found ex-pats, English speaking friends, he would never discover what he came to find. By forcing himself out of his comfort zone, he learned things about himself and how to connect with people even without knowing the language. In the episode, we get into David's strategy for connecting authentically. David shares his formula when he attends conferences/networking events and how he personally creates relationships with people he meets. From my calculations, he gave 10 steps that he does to ensure to create more serendipitous connections in his life. I highly recommend listening to this part of the podcast if you only have 10 minutes. You can hear this part starting at the 23-minute mark. 7 Things You'll Takeaway - What David focuses on to ensure he's making decisions that align with him @ 6:00 - How to connect more authentically with a person @ 13:00 - How to prepare yourself for interacting with people @ 17:00 - David's Game plan for conferences/networking events and connection (you definitely want to hear this part) @ 23:00 - Why he moved to Paris and did a life reset @ 37:15 - David's unique style of learning French and what that taught him about connection/life @ 45:45 - Questions to ask yourself before going off on a one-way trip to discover yourself @ 53:15 - And much much more Connect With David Facebook - David Alivefulness Facebook David's Website Mentioned in the Podcast Dr. Greg Wells Interview Amy Cuddy - Power Posing
