    22: Matthew Blom - Optimize Your Inner Game, Create Lasting Change & Transform Your Life

    I've had many friends, inspiring thought leaders and incidental mentors on the show before, but I'm super excited to finally bring you a conversation with someone who was my coach for several months, over a very interesting period of my life. Matthew and I connected at a training event where he was guest facilitating, and his energy, insight and inherent thirst for spiritual evolution (his own and others) blew me away. I almost immediately knew I had to work with him. It was a remarkably confrontational experience that forced me to ask questions about myself and explore depths of my mind that I otherwise was either oblivious to, or was afraid of falling into without a rope to climb back out of. The wealth of insight and development I got out of the guided self-reflection that came from Matthew's coaching was so powerful that I've been wanting to share its brilliance on the show since I first thought of producing it. In this conversation, Matthew and I discuss topics and ideas around pretty much everything that motivated me to make The Life:Optimized Show happen. We talk about optimizing business, personal and professional leadership, and every area of our lives through a directed focus on self-actualisation whilst surrendering to letting life unfold as it needs to. Although there have been some unforeseen breaks between episodes so far, I will be taking a deliberate break from releasing new episodes for a while, whilst I record and gather a bunch of exciting conversations for the second season of the show. I could not have had a better 22nd episode to wrap up season 1. --- Is Suffering or pain necessary? What's the fastest way to create lasting change? How transformable is our life? How much wonderful can you take? These are the questions Matthew Blom has been seeking out and answering for the last 15 years. He has studied the finest change modalities known across the globe from ancient wisdom to New Age discoveries: Buddha to Belief change, Meditation to Neuro-Linguistics, Matthew Blom now leads and transforms lives through the work of Family Constellations and Mind Re-Patterning, modalities that allow you to Honor What Is, Re-Solve what has been, and Embrace your genius and fulfillment in life. He is a passion-based Entrepreneur Making a Living through Making a Difference. His favorite thing to do is to make this more and more possible for others. His business is about designing our lives to have fulfillment in all areas of life: Our Health, Our Impact/Purpose, Our Wealth, Our Relationships, Our Family, Our Values/Spirituality, and Our Life Enjoyment. As an Entrepreneur, he has seen many, many people with amazing, life-giving skills/training/abilities, be unable to make a living doing it. He’s watched them struggle through to hopelessness only to give up on their dreams and rob the world of their unique gifts.

    21: Shawn Phelps - Optimize Your Clarity By Understanding Your Life Story

    In this conversation, my new friend Shawn Phelps, long-term student of the subconscious mind and author of one my new favourite books, joins me on the show to discuss clarity, purpose and the quest for "more", on the great story of our lives. I ask some philosophical and existential questions about self-discovery and mindfulness, and why the heck does it even matter? And Shawn shares her solid framework, and a ton more, that helps apply 20+ years of wisdom to the actual act of gaining more clarity to unlock a greater wealth of inner resources. Shawn Phelps grows leaders by giving them clarity on who they are, why they’re here and how they can make a difference at their highest potential. Shawn has studied the subconscious mind for 20 years, including 13 years of intimately studying her own subconscious mind through a daily meditation practice. She’s also an expert on story structures as an author and former business journalist, international backpacker (and freelance writer), corporate workshop facilitator, executive director of a children’s education charity (which she founded) and brand storytelling consultant. She’s currently working on her second book, about a framework she created that helps people get more clarity in their lives. You can learn more about Shawn on her website as well as learn about her Life Story Framework over at: http://www.shawnphelps.com/ls-framework. Oh and by the way, since recording this episode I read Shawn's first book, "Help Me Asia" and it's easily become one of my favourite light (but nonetheless warm, touching and profound) reads.

    16: Simon Clark - Optimize Your Happiness by Shifting Your View

    We all feel like we're crashing close to rock bottom at some point or another in our lives. But what would it be like to feel so destroyed inside that you'd actually drive yourself, at full speed, into a telegraph pole, with every intention of not surviving that crash? And then what would you do if you did survive? On this powerful and punchy episode with my good friend, Simon Clark, we talk about his life leading up to his suicide attempt, his survival, and how he shifted his view after it to not only turn his own life around but embark on a mission to help many others suffering in a similar way. Simon is a true inspiration and about as down to earth as they come, both with his wisdom and his expression. If you've ever known anyone close to rock bottom, or have felt yourself stuck in your own shadows, you don't want to miss this episode. --- Like many of you, accomplished author and happiness expert Simon Clark began chasing his dreams from a very early age. And like a large majority of you, when he first started he hadn’t quite worked out what it was he was actually chasing. Through decades of mentoring, managing, and leading people Simon knows happiness can be many things. So what is happiness for you? An award sitting on a mantelpiece? A collection of trinkets and toys? Is it the sum total of all your cash and assets? With over 30 years of real life ‘at the coal face’ people management experience, Simon’s abilities in helping others obtain their ideas on happiness are radically different from ordinary goal setting run-of-the-mill coaching. Simon works with his clients and his audiences to show them how their happiness intertwines with the power behind their choices. He helps build a platform for a system that centres on aligning the person, perfectly, with their purpose. Simon’s coaching skills have been described by his clients as direct, to the point, with an ability to cut through the BS and truly bring out the best in people. His style of combining the lessons from real-life stories with practical techniques allows him to connect with his audiences on several different levels. His empathy and compassion guide him toward the facts that lay hidden inside the hearts of everyday people. Aside from being a certified coach in the ‘mBit’ methodology, an author, a husband, and a father of two teenagers, Simon is also a suicide survivor. He created his company “Shift Your View” to be an organisation dedicated to helping people see a clearer path toward their own happiness, and ultimately, their own success. This business represents his heartfelt mission of wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of others. His first book “Shift Your View: Seeing beyond and achieving even more” has already been hailed as the book people can’t wait to read. Prior to his current role, Simon has had 16 years retail management experience, four years managing IT service providers, and over eight years managing his own businesses. His success in these fields has spurred him on toward his passion for making things happen. You can learn more about Simon and "Shift Your View" at http://shiftyourview.com.

    15: BarBara Whorely Crawford - Optimizing Your Emotional Self-Sufficiency

    In this absolutely joyful and passionate episode, I speak with world-renowned trauma and anxiety coach, BarBara Whorely Crawford, to answer a heap of important questions about emotional self-sufficiency, and how to optimize your state of being for greater performance in your life, whether you're a single mum of four, or a special forces veteran dealing with a return to civil life. I ask "BB" some hard-hitting questions too, in what turns out to be one of the most fun yet profoundly authentic conversations I've had on the show yet! Some of the questions we cover include: How do you strip away the debris and crap covering up your authentic self? What is the real cost of trying to keep everyone else pleased with you? Why do people revert back to their old behaviours, even after seeming to have breakthroughs? How are some people seemingly always cheery and happy, and why are some people offended by this? What's more important: the coach or the coaching? How do you support someone in need of immediate counselling before they can get to a professional? How does the everyday person get in touch with their authentic self after getting used to putting on a facade for others? Why should we care about war veterans even if we don't support war? How do some of the world's most influential entrepreneurs and leaders network and build relationships? BB Crawford’s passion is to train people how to focus on what they desire in their lives without the distraction of anxiety, stress or emotional overwhelm. BB’s life experiences and successes include being the mother of 4 phenomenally happy, well adjusted, self-sufficient adult children. A top Leader for Weight Watchers International, Lead Executive Recruiter, and MotivACTional Speaker/Coach. BB’s purpose began seven years ago when she learned the Anxiety Reduction Tools. She began working with Vietnam Veterans and returning Troops with amazing results. Vietnam Veterans were sleeping through the night for the first time in 35 years. OEF/OIF Troops symptoms of anxiety, anger and stress were reduced significantly. BB fell in love with the Military community. Training and coaching returning Troops, Veterans and their families became her main focus in life. In 2010 BB established her company Emotional Self Sufficiency (ESS). Creating ‘The ESSential Leadership Life Skills Training’. She does this at no cost to Troops as they have already paid the price in her eyes. BB funds her Pro Bono program by training and coaching individuals and companies in The ESSential Leadership Life Skills program. This is her life’s purpose to reduce anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm in the world, especially for our Troops and their families! BB coaches and conducts trainings in this work around the US, as well as in Iraq, Afghanistan, UK, Canada and Australia via Skype. Present and past clients: Central Texas Community College the ESS program for young adults entering college, Silver and Gold Medal Olympic Athletes, National Chaplain Training Center for the V.A. in Washington, D.C., on Fort Hood, Texas for Troops and families, Fortune 500 company executives, non-profit organization across the US serving Veterans and families.
