    Introducing: The School of Greatness

    Introducing Your Body Language Is Telling You You're Not Safe | Amy Cuddy from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Your body is talking to your brain constantly, telling it either 'I'm safe' or 'I'm not safe.' The posture you default to when no one's watching might be the thing keeping you stuck. Amy Cuddy, the social psychologist behind one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, sat down to unpack what actually builds confidence when the world feels unstable. She talks about the difference between faking it and becoming it, why imposter syndrome hits 75-85% of people, and why the bullies who came after her post-TED fame taught her more about personal power than the research ever did. You'll hear about the exact breathing pattern she uses before high-stakes moments, the simple writing exercise that beats any pep talk, and why she thinks reframing anxiety as excitement changes everything. There's also a story about a nurse named Alex Wubbels who got thrown against a wall for doing the right thing, and what that taught Amy about the kind of bravery that has no glory attached to it. This conversation will make you rethink every time you've shrunk yourself to avoid being noticed. Sit up straight, not for anyone else, but because you deserve the respect you keep giving away. Bullied: The Culture of Cruelty and the Surprising Power of Social Bravery Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges Amy’s website Amy on Instagram Amy on LinkedIn Amy’s TED Talk In this episode you will: Reclaim your sense of personal power using postural feedback and 4-7-8 breathing before high-stakes moments Rewrite the self-doubt that keeps you silent by practicing self-affirmation theory rooted in your core values Transform pre-performance anxiety into excitement using Alison Wood Brooks's reframing research Discover why bumblers earn more trust than pointers when things go wrong in public Overcome imposter syndrome by shifting focus from how you're judged to how you can serve others Draw the line between confidence and arrogance so self-belief fuels you instead of blinding you For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1973 More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

    Fan Questions: Anderson Silva’s Record Is MORE Impressive Than Islam’s | Big Brown Breakdown

    Brendan Schaub answers your fan questions on a Sunday edition of Big Brown Breakdown and gets into some of the biggest debates happening in the UFC. Islam Makhachev may have surpassed Anderson Silva’s legendary UFC winning streak, but does that automatically make Islam’s run more impressive? Brendan explains why he gives Anderson Silva the edge, arguing that Silva’s striking-heavy style exposed him to significantly more risk than the wrestling-based approach used by Islam and other elite Dagestani fighters. Brendan also builds the perfect heavyweight to defeat Jon Jones, discusses whether Conor McGregor vs Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson makes sense, reacts to Ian Machado Garry embracing his heel role, and picks which current UFC champion has the best chance of moving up and winning another belt. Plus, Brendan discusses Michael Morales’ wrestling, Islam carrying two UFC belts, a potential Mauricio Ruffy vs Diego Lopes matchup, whether Justin Gaethje could beat an untrained heavyweight, and Sergei Pavlovich’s position in the heavyweight title picture.

The fallout surrounding Din Thomas and Jillian Robertson continues after Robertson rejected Thomas’ apology following his controversial comments about her career.

The MMA world also begins piling on, with Kelvin Gastelum criticizing Thomas, Hector Lombard unloading on his former teammate, and the conversation turning toward the UFC’s so-called “good old boys club.” Brendan explains why he actually believes all the controversy could ultimately be the best thing that happened to Jillian Robertson’s career.
