What Drives You with Kevin Miller Kevin Miller - Drive Guide

In this episode we give focus to our drive, in our work. Our work is a primary, if not the primary focus of our lives, at least from a daily time and energy devotion. The message here is in relation to the interviewing process, but as you’ll hear, so much of it relates to our lives overall. In any relationship and opportunity there is an aspect of selling yourself and often a struggle between being yourself and feeling you are performing. I was recently introduced to Anna Papalia who is one of our leading authorities on the new science of interviewing. Now, I’ve been a lifetime entrepreneur who has never technically interviewed for a traditional job, but as I read Anna’s research I was made acutely aware that as an entrepreneur I spend a lot of my time interviewing for opportunities. Selling myself. And to that degree, we all are. Which is why I wanted to bring this conversation to you. Anna’s research is now culminated in her new book, “Interviewology” where it categorizes all of us in four interview styles - The Charmer, the Challenger, the Examiner, and the Harmonizer. The three keys we discuss are, 1) understand your own style, 2) understand how to fully embrace your style in interviews and be completely authentic when you’re selling yourself, and 3) understand the other styles so you can tap into them when you are being interviewed, or you are interviewing, so you can better connect with the other person and vastly increase your chances of success. And success may mean helping you realize the job or person is a completely bad fit, which is vital to know! The book again is Interviewology and you can go to interviewology.com to find out what your style is. By the end of this conversation however, you’ll have clarity on what your style is and how to fully utilize it.

In this episode look at our physical wellness, as our bodies are the vehicle that houses everything we drive toward. Few things drive our appetites like…sugar. We see sugar as a gift and honor it like we honor wine. And like wine, it’s probably not best to have it in excess. For the greater span of time, humans went most of their lives with little to no sugar outside of the occasional fruit when it was in season. In America it wasn’t until around 1619 when sugarcane came on the scene. Today sugar is added to everything. The American Heart Association recommends up to 25 grams, or 6 teaspoons per day. Though the average American consumes 88 grams, about 22 teaspoons a day. What’s best for our physical health? Today, 1 in every 3 Americans has diabetes or prediabetes. Another way to look at it, around 122 million Americans have a sugar related disorder, while only 14 million have an alcohol disorder. We are sicker and bigger than ever and sugar is the primary culprit. In this episode I’m joined by Randy James, medical doctor and Functional Medicine expert and we talk about how to best view and manage sugar. Something again, we love too! And work to manage in regards to our wellness desires.

In this episode I address our drive to improve. If you didn’t have that drive, you wouldn’t be listening now. You want to improve. Better yourself. And the point is getting better results from your life and more joy and fulfillment in your soul. Yet we can fall into the trap of striving and striving and never being ok with ourselves right now. As we humans tend to do, we polarize and are prone to constantly, exhaustively pushing to improve and often just being disappointed in ourselves and frustrated with our slow progress, or we just throw our hands in the air and ask if we can just be ok as we are! Is there a happy medium? A place of growth and peace? A quest for improvement and contentment? Of course I’m going to make a case there is, but it’s a perspective I must keep revisiting myself as I’m prone to the extremes as well. Let’s talk about the delicate balance. 

 I continue to ask people to contact me with any thoughts, feedback, or questions they may have about an episode, or their drive. Literally just email me at kmiller@kevinmiller.co. This morning I met with a listener who was visiting my small town in the Rockies. We sipped coffee on an outdoor patio overlooking the mountains and shared our personal journeys with each other. What a gift. I’d be honored to connect with you so we can drive together. kmiller@kevinmiller.co

I want to help you, and me, be aware that our brain is programmed to take everything that happens during our day, every source of input, and immediately run it through a filter of self-protection. And we don’t get our authentic selves from it. I saw a post recently that said “Awakening is not changing who we are, but discarding who we are not.” Our natural, self-protective selves are not our authentic selves. The point, much of our drive, in everything, everyday, is self-protection. This is not a true, strong, positive, productive and progressive drive. It’s like driving with your parking brake on. I have a story for you to help give you some freedom.

What if most or all of your feelings were actually vibrations? And what you vibe with, is a similar frequency that you resonate with. And what feels off is a vibe you don’t resonate with? No right or wrong, but recognizing a tangible way to understand why some environments, circumstances, and people, feel good or bad to you? This has become a powerful understanding and tool to help me surround myself more, with vibes that match my frequency, and from that, I stay charged longer, and I tightly budget my exposure to, bad vibes.

I've forever had my paradigm shifted with a new category of attributes. What are attributes? They are inherent qualities you possess. We all do. And they inform everything we do. Here is the story. Rich Diviney spent 20 years as a Navy SEAL, completing more than a dozen overseas deployments, eleven in Iraq and Afghanistan. He went on to be intimately involved in a specialized SEAL selection process to look for elite performers amongst the already elite SEAL members. He found himself often surprised by which candidates washed out and which succeeded. So often someone with all the right skills would fail, while others he might have initially dismissed would turn out to be the best performers. This led Rich to research and discover hidden drivers of performance. Attributes which will often predict how we will perform, especially under pressure. I read through Rich's book, The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. Then I took his Attributes quiz. We started off with what drove him to pursue being a Navy SEAL. Then discussed how attributes differ from skills, and in truth, eclipse them. Then we walked through all 25 attributes and I'm confident you'll hear brand new perspectives on attributes like courage, situational awareness, task switching, cunning and even narcissism which he says has a place in top performance. Again, I feel I have a whole new toolbox for understanding, predicting, and growing my own performance. I'd highly encourage you to go to hub.theattributes.com, create and account and use code MILLER15 to get 15% off your own assessment.
