Jaimal Yogis, The Saltwater Buddha found himself in trouble, ran away to Hawaii to follow his lifelong dream of surfing, lived in a Buddhist monastery, then wanted to be a writer. Jaimal discovered more about himself and the world he lives in. His memoir, the best seller, The Saltwater Buddha has now been adapted into a film. Jaimal helps us find peace in an out of control distracted and overly busy world, taking lessons from Zen to show us how to better handle the chaos surrounding us. Jaimal is a bohemian, author, buddhist, monk, surfer, a runaway… how does he see his identity today? What has Jaimal learnt about his identity?  Jaimal shares the story of the samurai and the zen master and the difference between heaven and hell. How does Jaimal stay the path without drifting away with ego? Where do we find or build freedom of the mind and how can that be genuinely created? What is the most profound thing Jaimal has learnt about freedom? The story of the second arrow, and where has Jaimal employed the second arrow? Jaimal’s Dad was a military guy who did  yoga. How did his Dad meld that dichotomy? Jaimal's Dad came home one day and said I’m leaving. How well can Jaimal remember that day? How has Jaimal changed the language in his own mind when feeling fear? “Very sad, no problem” Where did that story originate and why does that statement mean so much to Jaimal? The poet Rumi “We are not a drop in the ocean. We are the ocean in a drop.” Why that resonates with Jaimal?   LINKS   Garrett McNamara world record wave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74pnrYPozcU   Jaimal Yogis http://www.jaimalyogis.com   Saltwater Buddha | Coming of Age Surf Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdShd1CgHws   Jaimal Ep 145 The Mojo Radio Show https://www.themojoradioshow.com/ep-145---jaimal-yogis.html   Giovanni Dienstmann https://www.themojoradioshow.com/ep-203-giovanni-dienstmann.html   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way as well. For 30 years he’s helped teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on endless referrals. The author of many books on sales, marketing and influence, his book The Go-Giver has sold almost 1 million copies. In the Go-Giver Series Bob explains that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.    When people ask Bob what he does, how does he like to reply? Why is it so hard for people to execute the Go Giver plan? Bob explains the sweet spot between a go giver and the go getter. Should we start with the mission for the company or the individual? At the age of 35 Bob realised he had some character traits that did not serve him. What were the traits? One trait Bob had to work on was gratitude. How does Bob do it today? How does Bob compartmentalise OCD in the middle of a keynote?  The baseball professional hitter is different to a hitter at bat. Why their identity is different. The greatest compliment the great Og Mandino could say to Bob as a man. Bob has sold almost a million copies of the Go Giver….why? What would Bob write as the 6th Law of Stratospheric Success? Bob gives us a pondering he's not written about or spoken publicly about that can add profound value.

Franziska Iseli, a maverick entrepreneur and leading brand strategist, has a rebellious reputation for always wanting to do things differently. An eternal optimist, no challenge seems too big for Franziska. In 2013, she was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year for her innovation, creativity, and philanthropic work with Singularity U and the United Nations. We discuss her book "The Courage Map: 13 Principles for Living Boldly." When people ask Franziska what she does, how does she like to reply? The book starts with a letter addressed to courage. What is Franziska's thinking? If courage wrote back to Franziska, what would that letter say? Courage is a skill to be learnt. Why does Franziska believe it can be learnt? Do many of us misunderstand courage in it's most simplistic form? Is there a trigger Franziska calls upon when she knows she is going to need courage? Courage helps people stay true to themselves. When was Franziska not true to herself? Do you own your truth? How do you know if you own your truth? How has courage allowed Franziska to stay true to herself? Why do we not ask, "do you have a reason?" The phone call that changed the way Franziska looked at life forever What does Franziska wish she had the courage to say to her father? One strategy Franziska discovered that stops fear from pulling her into an emotional prison -- journaling. What ideologies about courage have Franziska changed in recent times? How Franziska sees fear as aliens Some stories can quash our courage and lead us to live in fear - did that happen to Franziska? What if there is only perfectly imperfect? Which of the 13 principles for living boldly is the most misunderstood? The next chapter, what would be the 14th principle?

Maria Konnikova explores how our mind learns, drawing insight from both psychology and poker. Maria has a B.A. in psychology from Harvard and a PhD in psychology from Columbia University. The author of two New York Times bestsellers, "The Confidence Game" and "Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes," Maria writes about psychology and its application to real-life situations. We discuss Maria's new book, "The Biggest Bluff" and what life lessons we can take and apply from the game of poker.   When people ask Maria what she does, how does she like to reply? Her first introduction to the character of Sherlock Holmes by her father Maria got into poker to better understand the line between skill and chance. Where is that line? There's an idea in psychology called the locus of control. How does it work? Poker showed Maria's confidence issues. How did she fix them with poker? How have Maria's ideologies of psychology changed after her journey into poker? Maria explains speech play, playing with words. What is it? How does it work? Erik Seidel listened quietly and then told Maria one phrase: "Less certainty. More inquiry." The lesson from Sherlock Holmes "I both see and observe." How does Maria view failure today? 'Bird by bird' has become an inner mantra for Maria whenever she is feeling overwhelmed. The Gambler's Fallacy is the faulty idea that probability has a memory: you are "due" for a win. Was there a con artist Maria admired for their craft? We con ourselves. What did Maria learn? Intuition and how this is playing out in Maria's mind? What did poker show Maria that she had to unlearn?   LINKS   Maria Konnikova's Website https://www.mariakonnikova.com   Support Act delivering crisis relief services to artists, crew and music workers  https://supportact.org.au/about-support-act/   The Mojo Radio Show Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

This show is truly about creating a strong brand, the moving pieces we need to line up and how to think about and execute strong marketing. It's the thinking that is most interesting and not just the doing part. When people ask Katie what she does, how does she like to reply? Katie worked in the finance industry. What did she take from that period? Does Katie think that a generalist approach to sport helped her learning and development? DOSE is about upping the happy chemicals in the body. What are the happy chemicals? Higher Dose is very stylish. What is the thinking behind the actual physical design? How did Katie resolve partnership issues to maintain the company during rough periods? At dinner in 2012, Katie's mother asked her what she wanted out of life? Katie answered, "to feel euphoric." Katie launched Tough Mudder into International markets. Why do we seem to be embracing these sorts of events? Where does Katie think HigherDOSE is going in terms of product offering?

This show is about discomfort and the degrees of discomfort that lead to growth. Many of our guests speak of the profound impact discomfort can have on our lives. Kaley Chu, the author of "100 Lunches with Strangers," was a young shy Chinese girl who pushed herself to arrange 100 lunches with complete strangers. In finishing the challenge, Kaley realised her confidence had grown enormously, and the experience had transformed every single aspect of her life, all by getting get out of her comfort zone. When people ask Kaley what she does, how does she like to reply? Born and raised in Hong Kong, how did her background impact how she lived in Australia? How were the perceptions of herself holding her back? Kaley's identity was built on being Asian. How has Kaley changed her core identity as a result of the lunches? Did Kaley's parents influence her identity and beliefs? How did people's perception of Kaley change after a few lunches? How did Kaley handle the rejections? Did Kaley have resilience or determination in any other areas of her life? This project has given Kaley a new way of seeing herself and is now finding other ways to challenge herself. The lunches gave Kaley a sneak-peek into other peoples lives ...

Kyle Maynard had a dream to be a professional athlete. Born with a condition called congenital amputation that left him without arms or legs, he never stopped pursuing his dream. He became a champion wrestler at State level, an MMA fighter, opened his CrossFit gym, and climbed some of the world's tallest mountains including Killamanjaro, becoming the first quadruple amputee to do it without assistance. This is a fantastic show about an inspirational guy who is challenging the excuses we tell ourselves.   SHOW NOTES When people ask Kyle what he does, how does he like to reply? His Dad was a military man; did this background have an impact on Kyle's character growing up? What does Kyle know about the day he was born when his parents discovered his condition? Did Kyle ever fall into the comparison trap growing up? What was his Mum's dialogue when he started to feel sorry for himself or started to compare? From a very early age, Kyle said no to prosthetics - why was that? Kyle's Grandmother said, "God doesn't make mistakes." How has that influenced his beliefs? From the book "God Made You Like This For A Reason." Has Kyle worked out the reason? Kyle lost his first 35 wrestling matches in a row before he won. How did that first win change his identity? What was the greatest fear he had to face with Mt Kilimanjaro? How Kyle carried the ashes of Corey Johnson to the top of Kilimanjaro at the request of his mother. "Your dreams could be a gateway to another dream; you could not have foreseen." Is that his journey? The 3 feet philosophy "not dead can't quit." If Kyle could meet with the great Marcus Aurelius and ask him a question, what would he ask? Kyle admires people who challenge assumptions. What is the last assumption he challenged? One of the few real treasures Kyle keeps is a bible from his grandparents. What's the real significance of that bible? What's the dialogue in his mind when he starts making excuses today? Does he ever think, "wait what I am doing, I'm the no excuses guy, and I'm making excuses?" Kyle became depressed when he started to do keynote speaking. How dark did it get? Bruce Lee - it's not the daily increase but the daily decrease, hack away the nonessentials. What is it about the Comanche people and even his Mum's ancestors the Cherokee people that fascinate him? Kyle would horse ride at his Uncle Matt's in Michigan. How has he adapted to communicate with the horse? His family taught him to never quit in the middle of a task once he starts. Did that play on his mind on Kilimanjaro? Excuses give us a reason to explain to other people why we are too weak to deal with a particular problem, regardless of the size or importance of the matter.   LINKS Kyle Maynard website http://kyle-maynard.com   The Mojo Radio Show Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

One night defending himself Chris Wilson killed a man and was sentenced to life in prison with NO parole. His book "The Master Plan" is a memoir of a man who used hard work and a plan to turn a life sentence into a second chance. It's a journey of self-improvement, reading, working out, learning and even starting a business. Then he did the impossible. He convinced a judge to reduce his sentence and became a free man. Chris' story is a great story of redemption, change, study and being of true service.   When people ask Chris what he does, how does he like to reply? Chris never slept in his bed for fear of stray bullets coming through his window. A police officer beat his Mum unconscious when he was 14. How did this frame his view of police? How Chris loved books, and he loved the library as a kid. How did Chris end up in the Hickey School Maryland's long-term prison for juvenile offenders? His son, Darico, was born in June 1995. He still didn't change. Why? What does Chris recall about the night which changed his life? That one shot. What can Chris hear, and what can he see when asked about that moment? The strong default voice going through his head when he pulled the trigger. What was that voice saying, and why did he believe that voice? Solitary confinement. What does Chris remember the most of that confinement period? Everything is relative, even solitary confinement versus social isolation and the pandemic. When did Chris start to dream of a future? What happened that changed his mindset? Steve Edwards and how did he impact Chris in prison? Chris explains positive delusion Chris tells of the old identity of Chris versus today's Chris and what's changed? Chris didn't want to be known as a lifer, his crime or number 265 975. What's his Master Plan look like today, the actual physical layout, and how does he use it today? What is the philosophy behind our Master Plan? Chris shared his Master Plan with Judge Wood, his grandmother, and his lawyer. Is it important to share your Master Plan with others? The Book Crushers Chris gets out of prison at the age of 32. Did he fall into the comparison trap? What is his endgame? Why Chris sold the Corvette, something he dreamt of since a child? His invitation to the White House and being denied entry by the Secret Service at the White House gate. Does he carry any regrets? If Chris could ask his Mum a question today to help him reconcile the past, what would it be? Chris and Steve had a mural of the dung beetle on the wall. What does that represent? What does he fear today?   LINKS   Chris Wilson website http://chriswilson.biz   Chris Wilson Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chriswilsonbaltimore/   The Mojo Radio Show Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Jesse Cole, the owner of Savannah Bananas Baseball Team, has welcomed over 1 million fans to his ballpark. The company won Organization, Entrepreneur and Business of the Year, plus 3 CPL Championships. The Savannah Bananas have sold out three straight seasons and have a waiting list in the thousands. Author of "Find Your Yellow Tux – How to Be Successful by Standing Out," Jesse's mantra is Whatever's Normal, Do the Exact Opposite. Amazingly valuable show.   How does Jesse like to reply when people ask, what do you do? How did Jesse come to spend $1.8 million to buy the Savannah Bananas in 2016? Savannah Banana's 90-year history of professional baseball heritage. How did they take to the showmanship? Jesse is ok with and almost seeks out criticism. How does he approach that? They sold their house, emptied their savings, slept on air mattresses. At that low point, what kept the relationship tight? People crave human interaction. Is a sense of true human interaction diminishing? Why do so many companies settle for what's normal? We settle for the status quo. The Lion King opens every game. What's the symbolism? What's a PFT (perfect fan testimonial)? How do we use a PFT? How does the coach bring a high-performance focus to baseball, but additionally an entertainment performance? The name of the company is "Fans First." Has Jesse named the company after his mission? How does Jesse implement that strategy of point of experience? Who is Jesse's alter ego? Alter ego is a part of you; it's not all of you. Who is Jesse Cole's alter ego away from the yellow tux? What belief system does Jesse switch off, when he puts on his yellow tux? Jesse was fearful of publishing his first blog. Why would the ultimate showman fear a blog? What doubts does Jesse still have of himself today? What's the Ideapoluzza Jesse will use with his team? Think time = innovation time. Where is his think time? Jesse pays his staff to read books and submit a book report. The philosophy Jesse has of "walking through the door." You wouldn't believe the mantra!   LINKS   Jesse Cole's Find Your Yellow Tux website https://findyouryellowtux.com     The Mojo Radio Show Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Don Mann, decorated combat veteran, speaker, and endurance athlete, wrote the bestseller "Inside SEAL Team Six: My Life and Missions with America's Elite Warriors." His new book "Reaching Beyond Boundaries: A Navy SEAL's Guide to Achieving Everything You've Ever Imagined" shares the secrets behind Don's inspiring and seemingly impossible tasks. We detail the lessons he learned from his SEAL training that we can apply to our daily lives to push beyond our internal borders, achieve our goals and conquer both micro and macro goals to make our dreams a reality. Don was known as Warrant Officer Manslaughter, Sweet Satan, Don Maniac, and Dr Death. Why? For more than 22 years he trained and worked out every single day. It was a big part of how Don defined himself. What parts of his SEAL identity is a part of him now, and what parts has he left in the teams? Don, at one point, was on a path to becoming a criminal or drug addict. What was the turning point? Climber Reinhold Messner had a process which was a main key to Don's success. How has Don adopted this process? Don visualised each night, but it was not as hard as he imagined. Don describes the "combat mindset." Don't quit! It's not that simple. Don breaks it down. Identifying the thin line between pushing yourself too far and crashing and burning. What's the point of giving it your all and going just too far? When Don was younger, he asked himself, "How am I going to become good at anything if when I start to feel a little uncomfortable, I just quit?" What does an After Action Review look like for Don today? Building trust in teams. There are two types of pain. Don describes those two types of pain. Learning to deal with pain by changing the focus. What's the replaceable process? Don's favourite leader was General Patton. Why? "Mission first" vs "Me first" As a retired SEAL Team Six member, Don describes the feeling he had when he heard Bin Laden had been shot? How does Don see the ageing process? What's his philosophy on age? Was there ever a boundary Don could not reach beyond? The dichotomy of ego.

Jeni Britton Bauer, an American ice cream maker, is an artisan ice cream pioneer. Jeni introduced a modern, ingredient-driven, innovative style of ice cream that's now widely copied across the world but never duplicated. Her cookbook "Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home" is a New York Times and WSJ bestseller. Jeni is the beating heart of the company and Chief Creative Officer, recognised by Fast Company as one of the most creative people in the business.   When people ask Jeni what she does, how does she like to reply? The scale of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Jeni has never had a personality that put limits on herself. Where does that come from? Why has Jeni always been unmanageable? How would Jeni manage Jeni? Jeni knew she was going to change ice cream in America and never told anyone. Was that important? Ice cream for Jeni is about a scent. How does that play out? What flavour or scent is reminiscent of Jeni's childhood? What fragrance is her grandmother, her granddad, love, her wedding day? Jeni thinks like a scientist. Is that a sort of identity Jeni embodies? Jeni has done or tried a load of things. Is Jeni a believer in being a generalist or a specialist? Jeni uses the term ice cream Jedi. What or who is an ice cream Jedi? Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams battled listeria. Jeni's creative mindset to the crisis. In a crisis, you can't see the colour or taste flavour. What did the team go through? What was the best thing her husband Charlie did during the crisis? What's it means to earn your teammates? Jeni is not one of those 'be in the moment' people. Jeni is either in the future vision or in the past? What's in the past? What part of the ice cream puzzle is she still challenged by? It's not just about innovating great new flavour combo's, it's also as much about the supplier. What flavour associates to the history of Jeni? Jeni's grandmother was an art teacher. What great lesson did her aunt teach her?   LINKS   Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams https://jenis.com   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Jen Pastiloff, author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real and Listening Hard, tells the incredible story of her journey. She believed she was a bad person from the time she was a child and lived with depression and anxiety while slowly losing her hearing. She kept this secret until a moment of awakening that set her on a profoundly different, more open, accepting and joyful path as a writer, teacher and leader. Jen speaks with honesty and clarity about the often rocky road to becoming human. When people ask Jen what she does, how does she like to reply? What has Jen discovered about being human? Jen was close to her Dad. He died when she was 8, what does Jen recall about that day? Jen knew she had a problem but didn't want to let it go. Why? How do we get beyond that facade of "Oh, I'm fine" when we are not? What it feels like to be understood when someone gets you? How did it feel when Jen could say, I can't hear you? Did that help with her shame? Treat everyone with compassion because you don't know How did Jen wait on tables when she could not hear? How Jen learnt to listen What identity did Jen take on as a waitress? How did she see herself in that job? While waiting tables, Jen stopped writing and stopped creating; she felt dead inside.

David Allen is considered by many the king of productivity. He is best known as the creator of the time management method "Getting Things Done" or GTD. David has spent over three decades researching and teaching and is widely recognised as one of the world's leading authorities on how to get things done. His GTD program has received tremendous praise and is in widespread use across the globe. He was named one of the top global executive coaches by Forbes. A self-proclaimed lazy guy, David said he wanted to make his life easier. Is that the genesis of GTD? Since a young age, David was drawn to models, why? What's the power of the simplicity in the GTD model? David explains our "head office." GTD is about clearing your head and clearing your calendar. What's David's preference -- paper planners or digital? Why does David carry a notebook in his back pocket at all times? The military talk about prioritising and executing. Do we not emphasis the DONE bit of GTD enough? Could it be people are intentionally staying busy to mask something like avoidance or loneliness? David's demilitarised zone with his email Can GTD give us the means to greater focus? David said that growing up, he was a people pleaser. How does David see himself today? David actually spent time in a mental institution. How did he feel at that time? How has he learnt to trust his intuition? On his computer screen, he had a screensaver that read, "Let go." What's behind that personal message for David? Discipline = freedom. By having the discipline to use GTD, you actually create the freedom to do whatever you desire. Is there a relationship between GTD and Agile Workplace principles?   LINKS   David Allen https://gettingthingsdone.com   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Pat McNamara spent 22 years in the United States Army working in the premier special missions unit building a reputation as an impeccable marksman. His experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger. A great show to close season 6, Pat covers how we can all habitually become the Agent in Charge of our own personal protection detail and take charge of our own lives. How does Pat like to describe what he does? Pat wrote a book about the philosophies of a Sentinel. What's it means to be a true Sentinel? Be the Agent in Charge of your own personal protection detail. What's the biggest concern with our distraction/addiction to the screen on the street? The 45-degree syndrome. Pat explains complacent adaptation. Does Pat still plan around his whiteboard each day? Pat always has a plan for what's going to happen that day. Is he very ritualised? That moment after 22 years in Special Operations when he said: "I'm out." What was it like the next day looking in the mirror and no longer being in special ops? He said to his son "I don't love you, I am in love with you" he cried, and Pat said, "this thing is defeating me." How does he feel today when he hears that story? Does Pat carry regret? Pat met a new partner who was the catalyst to his new persona. What did his partner do that gave him the fresh start? 48-year-old Pat was in a bad place, family, booze, lost his gig, he started a blaze. What did he do? Three words Pat uses a lot "attitude, aptitude and desire." How does that show up in his day? What's his self talk in extreme situations when it's all going down? When in a military situation, looking to calm himself, what's Pat's self talk? What's a flat range mindset or mentality? Pat had to learn tact as a leader. What lesson helped? How Pat is a walking contradiction, loving life, and getting after it. Pat's parents supported his creative endeavours. How specifically did they do that? What song could we play that lyrically best represents Pat as a man or best tells his story. "To be prepared against surprise is to be trained.

James Clear writes a hugely popular blog and is the author of the best-seller, Atomic Habits. Book sales surpassed 1 million this year. James writes about the habits of human potential to find out how can we live better. We discuss the habits and rituals of athletes, artists and business leaders and tease out the common characteristics that make people the best at what they do. Atomic Habits is a proven framework to improve ourselves every day, which is essential to get your mojo working!   When James started his blog, he said he felt like an imposter. Did he feel the same way at any point writing this book? In the book, James mentioned he was creating small habits to help him fulfil his potential. Has he? Has James broken through his own plateau of latent potential? How do good habits reinforce our identity? How do I become the kind of person who would? Does the reinforcement of identity then cascade over to other areas of your life to create new good habits? What’s the hardest thing to pin down about bad habits? Once established habits stick; why do bad ones stick more than good ones? Why should we score habits? What’s batching? The aggregation of marginal gains Scale a habit down Creating momentum when creating a new habit Designing our environment to make success easier. Is where, as important as what or why? Is James a minimalist? Does he subscribe to that sort of ideal? Outcomes are the lagging measures of your habits, the accumulation of bad habits. James discusses how and why we should fall in love with boredom? What’s the difference between motion vs action? The higher the friction, the less likely that lousy habits form Why we have to be willing to experiment At the very end of the book, James thanks his wife Kristy for believing in him. Did he lack some self-belief?   LINKS   James Clear website JamesClear.com   Atomic Habits book https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits   Athletic Greens https://athleticgreens.com/us   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

John Zeratsky, a former designer at YouTube and Google, became obsessed with the idea of redesigning time. He is the bestselling author of Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day. He also writes for the Wall Street Journal, TIME, HBR, Wired, Fast Company, and teaches at Harvard. Make time is not about crushing your to-do list, optimising every hour, or maximising personal productivity. It's about creating time for your priorities by rethinking our constant busyness and distraction.   What brings John to Australia and Sydney? What's the best story someone has told John about getting out of the Infinity Pool? Why are we blaming technology for our problems with attention? For many, it's a fear of missing out, FOMO, what's the solution to FOMO? Does John ever catch himself wading in the Infinity Pool and think "Wait, I'm the Make Time guy? John was a self-described nerd at school; what would he say to students at a high school? We should use technology to support connection and not replace it. Are we losing connection? An example of someone who makes time and has the discipline to get out of the Infinity Pool. Is the constant noise around us impacting our ability to focus and, in fact, costing us time? Why does John believe productivity leads to stress? Go faster so we can do more, why that seems to be a false productivity myth. Has John ever been perceived or felt like a perfectionist? Many people seem to lack the willpower to stay the course. What are our limits with willpower? How should we measure the success of time? We all have a to-do list as our default. What's the opposing view to that default? What does John's daily planner look like? Is it paper-based or screen, and what's the breakdown and structure? Is Twitter John's distraction kryptonite?     LINKS   John Zeratsky ohnzeratsky.com   John Zeratsky on Twitter https://twitter.com/jazer?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor   Maketime blog https://maketime.blog   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

He is also the co-founder of Echelon Front, a company that helps build high-performance corporate teams. Here's what we cover with Leif.   When people meet Leif for the first time, how does he like to explain what he does? Charlie Sheen actually impacted his decision to be a SEAL. What was it that drove Leif to sign up? Was the book, The Dichotomy of Leadership, written to balance out Extreme Leadership? The cover of The Dichotomy of Leadership is black and white, but it's not. What are the grey areas? The Dichotomy of Leadership is a balance. What's balance look like, and what are we looking for? Leaders can get out of balance. How does a leader know they are actually in balance? As a SEAL platoon commander, what were Leif's greatest leadership strengths? How does a leader find calm and space in order to make the right decision in battle? Did Leif have a process or a totem to change from being a Navy SEAL to being a husband and a dad? What attributes as a person is Leif trying to see reflected in his children? If Leif could go back and serve again, what one lesson would he employ? How is ambiguity down the ranks a failure of leadership? How does a leader ensure that the commander's intent is understood to the degree that can be executed? What separated Leif and the other 17 men who did not get rolled back in SEAL training? What song is the soundtrack for Leif to go to battle? What has the Muster taught Leif about his own leadership style?   Jocko Podcast https://jockopodcast.com   Echelon Front website https://echelonfront.com   The Australian Muster DECEMBER 4-5, 2019 - Sydney https://extreme-ownership-muster.myshopify.com   Support the show on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   Athletic Greens https://athleticgreens.com/us   The Mojo Radio Show Rocktober https://www.themojoradioshow.com/rocktober-2019.html   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/     The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Philip McKernan, the modern-day philosopher of the human experience, is a guy who truly wants to get behind the curtain to help us seek real clarity and move past our roadblocks. Philip gets beyond the seen and unseen blocks in our minds to develop a clear path to our dreams. He believes the way to a happy and fulfilling life is through the meaning we derive in life through our work, our relationships, and the most important relationship of all, the relationship with one's self.   When people ask Philip what he does, how does he like to reply? If I ask his wife, Pauline, what he does, what would she say? His Mum said that even at a young age, people would come to Philip to help them sort out particular problems - why? What is the sense Philip gets when someone isn't truthful to themselves? What does he feel? Is there a difference between hearing and listening? When someone answers a question, Philip gets a sense there is more that they are not saying. How does he know? Is dissension from the right place valuable? Philip felt he wasn't heard as a child. How is he going about making sure his children feel they are honestly heard? By not showing vulnerability as parents are we being of a disservice to our kids? What story did Philip tell himself that held him back in his own life? Are we seeing and having less clarity due to distractions and the pace of life? Is our busyness leading to loneliness? Do we use other people as an excuse not to do what matters? Why our greatest gift lies right next to our deepest wounds Are people terrified of meeting themselves? How do we know what to trust in ourselves? Where is the intersection of trust and intuition? It's not just The 5 Regrets of the Dying; it's also the living with regrets.

Nelson was born with an average memory, yet he transformed himself into one of the leading competitive memorizers in the world and earned the elite title of Grandmaster of Memory.   Does memory qualify as a sport? Nelson has tried many things but never pushed on. With memory, he went chips in, total devotion. Why? Why does memory almost carry a negative vibe Where does the psychology of memory start? Many of us say "oh, I have a terrible memory." How should we think about memory in our minds? 7 4 3 9 0 3 8 9 2 4 7 1 5 6 0 3 5 2 7 8 3 6 3 4 6 8 9 2 5 7: What could Nelson see to remember the list of numbers above, forward and backwards? Who is 419? Where does fear and trust fall into the equation of memory? In 2018 Nelson lost. How does he forget a default doubt he doesn't want to remember? Is Nelson a visual learner? Does he see it in his mind to recall it? There are five people in a room. Nelson doesn't know them. What's his process to recall all five people by name? Framing a change to our attention by walking into a room and saying "I need to know this person's name." Nelson likes to feel the book when he reads, does he need to feel the cards when he is competing? When he read The Hobbit, he can remember where he was and hat he read vividly - why? Does Nelson have rituals for reading or learning something to remember and recall learnings? How does Nelson use journals and pens? Nelson got within 50 meters of the summit of Mt Everest.

Jay Ferruggia helps people become the strongest version of themselves and is often featured in the worlds best performance magazines. Jay is the guy elite athletes and coaches turn to get squared away, but it hasn't been an easy path for Jay. He has experienced physical and mental weakness, depression, insecurity, crippling anxiety, addiction and bankruptcy. Jay is a guy who has been through a lot and genuinely wants to share what he knows to help us get our mojo working.   How should we be thinking about using exercise? We train for lots of reasons, but not true health and wellness. How should we measure wellness? Bruce Lee said "Before I studied the art, a punch to me was just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. After I learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick no longer a kick. Now that I've understood the art, a punch is just like a punch, a kick just like a kick." What’s a punch for Jay? Jay's a fan of Essentialism by Greg McGowan. When he walks into the gym, what's the non-negotiable essential? How important is community or connection for the longevity of life? Improv brought out Jay’s weaknesses, what were those weaknesses? Jay grew up in a violent household in fear; how did he eventually face that past and step into his future? When he looks in the mirror of truth, Jay describes the man he wants to be in the eyes of his wife, Jen. Does Jay fear anything today? Jay has an arm tattoo “ Relentless” - why does it reference his dad? Does Jay still keep a picture of his stepdad, Ed, next to his bed? He's known as the relationship guy. What’s the single best thing he ever started doing to create this amazing network? Has Jay ever created an alter ego that he stepped into to take him beyond perceived barriers? Jay trains to be ready - ready for what? Is death something that is in Jay’s conscious mind as he plans for his future? How does Jay record, retain, and retrieve his learnings? Does Jay actively think about stacking skills? Jay’s greatest lesson taken from Stoicism What would Jay do differently if he went at it again?     LINKS   Jason Ferruggia website http://jasonferruggia.com   Athletic Greens https://athleticgreens.com/us   The Mojo Radio Show Rocktober https://www.themojoradioshow.com/rocktober-2019.html   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

What does Evan see in business today? Mat Best said that BRCC openly promotes the mission outward as much as inward. Is this a strategy or just SOP? Evan created a company culture where civilians have to adapt to a military-style of operation. How do civilians adapt?

When life became a struggle for Chris Ashenden, founder of Athletic Greens, he attacked it like any other problem. He compiled a list of things that make him happy, then made sure to do them every day. For Chris, the list included dancing, being with dynamic people, sunlight on his face, intense exercise, and excellent nutrition. A native of New Zealand, Chris is passionate about health, happiness, personal growth and leadership in an entrepreneurial setting. He started Athletic Greens to solve his health problems. It's now the all-in-one supplement that industry experts swear by as their nutritional insurance policy. Here's what we cover with Chris in this show.   Why start Athletic Greens? There were other greens in the category at that time, why Athletic Greens? What does Chris wish he'd known when he began the journey to create the business? What mission did Chris have in mind when creating the company? Why are macro-nutrients the next frontier? What lengths do Athletic Greens reach to optimise the performance of the product? Why over-engineer the product formula? Does Chris continue to tinker with and improve the formula? So much is focussed on weight loss. Should we focus on areas like energy and our libido which are often dismissed? Chris is a very generous guy. Where does that come from? Has Chris intentionally focussed on building relationships? What lights Chris up? Training, working out, movement, being active - what's Chris's take on fitness? Are activities like dancing considered to be a part of our weekly exercise plan? Belly fat or as it is known the cortisol band won't go away with exercise, what's happening there? Chris went through a bout of depression. Did he know but was not willing to admit it to himself, or was he simply not in tune with what it felt like to be depressed? Chris has to really work on switching off his thinking brain, how is that working for him? Conforming and dissension. Is that a part of the Chris mindset?   LINKS Athletic Greens https://athleticgreens.com/us   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Mat Best is a former U.S. Army Ranger who was deployed five times to Iraq & Afghanistan. Mat created his first YouTube video in 2012, and now his social media presence has accumulated to more than 3 million subscribers with hundreds of millions of views. Mat is the co-founder of three successful businesses: Black Rifle Coffee, Leadslingers Whiskey, and Article 15 Clothing. He co-produced the independent feature film Range 15, and last week hit the NYTimes bestseller list with his new book, Thank You For My Service. Here's what we cover with Mat in this informative yet very entertaining interview.   When people ask Mat what he does, how does he like to reply? What did Mat learn about himself by writing the book? Ryan Munsey said he always asks himself, "what is the author trying to say?" What was Mat trying to say? For who is the book written? Does Mat remember first thinking he would use humour to not take life too seriously? How did Mat feel inside when he heard his brother had cancer? What’s Gallows Humour? In a fire fight when the action is over, the adrenaline dump takes hold of you. How did Mat deal with that adrenaline dump? Mat was obsessed with the act of war. What was that addiction? Did the experience of war ever sit deep in his soul waiting to come to the surface? The moment when two buddies were severely injured, and Matt comes to understand true brotherhood. Has Mat found that same feeling outside of the military? At Arlington Cemetery Mat, buried Brem and Baraza. What values does he take from the memory of these two heroes? Is Mat the sort of guy who has a vision of what he wants to do next? With his light-hearted approach to situations, life, and leadership roles, where is the sweet spot? With Mat’s carefree black humour approach to life, did he ever find he had a hard time taking orders or respecting command? Does boredom fuel his creativity… video, movies, coffee, merchandise design, books? What is Mat’s work ethic like today? Focus, discipline, planning? From the age of 17 to 23, Mat was a Ranger, that was his identity. What's his identity today? The mission behind BRCC? Can we create true camaraderie in our companies that give us the same camaraderie Mat had in the military? How has he embedded the mission through every level of the company? Many people misrepresent what military culture is all about. What is it about? Mat is fourth-generation military; did he feel any pressure with that legacy? If Mat had another go after leaving the military, how would he approach it? How would he course correct? Black Hawk Down, what was it about that film, a scene, a moment that resonated for Mat?   LINKS   Mat Best at Black Rifle Coffee Company https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/pages/mat-best-1   Mat on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mat_best_official/?hl=en   Mat’s book "Thank You for My Service”. www.thankyouformyservice.com   Mat on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCre2GibO9Vdb3C59VzDsFxQ   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson...

Ben Baker - author, keynote speaker, and consultant - helps develop stories for clients in compelling ways. Every brand (personal or company) needs a unique story that should engage their audience, draw them in, and help them understand the value of the brand. Ben’s job is to help us find that story and tell it in ways that are compelling, authentic, and memorable. In this show, we cover the essential characteristics of a great marketer and how we, as a brand, can use our story to stand out. Here's what we cover.    When people ask Ben what he does, how does he like to reply? Are comparisons and our easy access into the world of other people putting pressure on today's worker? “Who I am as a person, and who you are as a person, should not be determined by the things in our lives.” For many, do things define their brand? What does the future look like for personal branding? "Why fit in if you were born to stand out," Dr Suess. Is it getting harder to swim against the current and stand out? Growing up, Ben was expected to sit at the table and converse with the friends of his parents. Why does he believe this is valuable? Why do we continuously get disappointed by companies and salespeople who don’t truly listen? What does history tell us about what is likely to happen in the future? What are the key characteristics of a great marketer? How does Ben record his learnings from books, podcasts, blogs, video? Why does Ben choose articles to read more than books? What is Ben still trying to discover about his brand? What is Ben most nervous about today? Was there a moment in time when Ben trusted his voice? When targeting your perfect customer, it’s about focussing on champions. Ben describes a champion. When did Ben last say no? Ben was in a Mastermind, how does that work, what’s the format?

Akshay Nanavati is a U.S Marine veteran, speaker, entrepreneur, author and ultra-runner. He overcame many of life's most difficult challenges and discovered that adversity is one of our greatest gifts. He developed FEARVANA a philosophy that teaches us to find bliss through engaging in fear and pursuit of "worthy struggles." Akshay has pushed his limits in the most hostile, and awe-inspiring environments on the planet - he once dragged a 190-pound sled across the second largest icecap in the world in temps below -40 degrees. He's a guy who puts the rubber on the ice-covered road. If fear, adversity, or hard times are keeping you from having the life you want, then this show may be just what you need.   When people ask Akshay what he does, how does he like to reply? At what point did Akshay first become conscious of Fearvana? We explain PTSD. What is a day like when you are going through PTSD? Akshay was diagnosed with PTSD, but he didn't have it. A sign on his wall, a photo of a teammate. What was written on that wall originally and what did he change it to? Why is it about guilt that drives Akshay but hinders most others. How does he make it his ally? In 2007 Akshay deployed to Iraq to walk in front of vehicle convoys to find IED's. What was he saying to himself in that danger? Akshay thrives in adversity - why is that? What was the exact moment when Akshay felt the beauty in adversity? How did Akshay come to grips with the fact that going into the Marines and then becoming an addict must have crippled his parents with worry? Did Akshay feel he had had something to prove to his father? How has Akshay reframed fear? When giving a wedding speech or having a difficult conversation, how does Akshay coach people to reframe fear? Akshay likes to label emotions. "Could I do that?" - how do we confront this in our mind? Akshay ran 80 miles running a .2 mile loop. We discuss the demons he faced during that run. Even with the success of his book & his events, Akshay still faces the Imposter Syndrome, how he deals with it? How does Akshay see ego? What's the second Dart? Black Hawk Down, that movie started it all for Akshay. Why? When he watches it now, what comes to mind? Did Akshay believe he was worthy? Did he carry a degree of self-worth back in the day? What's the sweet spot between ownership and beating yourself up. Can we navigate that place? Akshay said spirituality would guide him, but at times it misguided him, how is he sure it will guide him right today? Akshay watches war movies before bed, what's his take on the psychology behind that? Does he ever switch off?

Cameron Schwab became the youngest CEO ever in the Australian Football League when he joined Richmond in 1988. He spent 25 years of his career as a CEO of three different clubs, and there was one thing in common across the board: the clubs were all at their lowest ebb, uncompetitive on the field, and facing massive financial challenges. He now takes his deep experience in leadership in sport and business to mentoring CEOs and senior leaders to build high levels of cultural and strategic direction.  When someone meets Cameron and asks what he does, how does he like to reply? What's the most critical question a corporate leader can ask themselves? Has Cameron learnt a process for the debrief after a business win or loss? It is not a competition of teams; it's a competition of systems. What is the system? The CEO should be the best person to read the play; how do we build that skill?  How did Cameron go about creating a shared team ethos from the field to the office?  How did Cameron deal with the dark times when sacked as a CEO of Melbourne? The power of vulnerability. Allan Jeans said to Cameron, "find something." What did Cameron find?  What does Cameron write at the top of his journal each day?  What would Cameron say to himself as a young CEO at Richmond back in 1988? One of Cameron's favourite quotes is by author David Whyte, "If your eyes are tired, the world looks tired also." What is the essential characteristic Cameron would look for in a recruit, and how would he establish they have it? Read an hour a day, write an hour a day, train an hour a day.     LINKS Cameron Schwab https://www.designceo.com.au   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Zach Bush, MD, is one of the most compelling medical minds of our day. He is working to improve our understanding of human and environmental health. Zach will leave you rethinking not only how you eat and live, but what it means to be a conscious consumer. A pioneer in the science of well-being, Zach is one of the only triple board-certified US physicians - in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism. What distinguishes Zach from his peers is his deep understanding of the interdependence of macrocosm and microcosm and the relationship between intensive farming practices and the rise of soil degradation and chronic disease. His vision is for a more integrated and holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.    Zach is slowly deconstructing his education and reconstructing his understanding through the lens of human experience. What does that mean? Zach speaks to groups of school students with the hope they leave with a plan for the next 30 years. An alarming statistic: we are losing the ability to procreate with 1 in 4 women having fertility issues. What did we humans do in the 1990s that turned all of this chronic disease on? The microbiome is the buildings blocks of human health. What are we doing to our microbiome? Zach's hypothesis that by rebuilding or replacing the microbiome in our bodies, we could, in fact, cure cancer. Let soils be thy medicine a take on "food as medicine" the philosophy of Hippocrates. What's Glysophate doing to the microbiome of our soils? As a species, are we seeing rapid aging? It's interesting when you trace the history of Monsanto and their mission "designed to kill life." There is growing evidence that can link Glysophate with gluten intolerance. What are we finding? Is the consumer driving the bus to make a change? Farmers don't want to be that guy that's not doing what every other farmer does. Farmers have the highest rate of suicide than any group in the US. They're going to be the generation that failed; they lost the farm! One night in the ICU, Zach and his team brought three people back to life.

Society's definition of success - an impressive career, status, and wealth - can be a hollow victory. Yu Dan Shi knows this all too well. Yu Dan Shi started from a childhood in an impoverished town in China and spent many years chasing endless goals and the appearance of success. It came at a substantial personal cost: a punishing workload while raising a family, a daily battle devoid of meaning, failing health and misery. Yu Dan Shi explores the conflict faced by high achievers and guides us through practical steps to make real and sustainable changes to our lives to bring us fulfilment. When people ask Yu Dan what she does, how does Yu Dan like to reply? Born in an impoverished village in China, what was the dream? How much of Yu Dan's dream was driven by the expectation of her parents? Yu Dan was miserable, but that made her work harder. What part of us says to ignore the misery? How did Yu Dan break the addiction to relentless ambition? Yu Dan had a perfect life, ticked every box, but which box did Yu Dan not tick? When Yu Dan got sick in 2008, she had a conversation with herself and said she felt regret. What did she regret? How did Yu Dan measure success back then? The illness was caused entirely by internal stress. Did Yu Dan know she was suffering from chronic stress? How do you know if you are honest with yourself? What was the reaction from her parents when she made a change? How does Yu Dan keep from falling into the comparison trap? What gives us true career fulfilment? How does Yu Dan describe her identity today? What identity does she want to impart on her children? Should we be generalists or specialists? Where does Yu Dan get her external validation today?  What's the ambition condition? What steps can a listener take to find their inner strengths? What advice would have Yu Dan given herself ten years ago? What brings Yu Dan pride today?     LINKS   Yu Dan Shi website https://www.yudanshi.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

John Zeratsky, a former designer at YouTube and Google, became obsessed with the idea of redesigning time. He is the bestselling author of "Make Time: How to Focus On What Matters Every Day." John also writes for the Wall Street Journal, TIME, Harvard Business Review, Wired, and Fast Company. He's a guy who knows his stuff. Make Time is not about crushing to-do's, optimizing every hour, or maximizing your productivity. It’s about rethinking your defaults of constant busyness and distraction to achieve what matters.   When people ask John what he does, how does he like to reply? Make Time is not about productivity; what is it about? What are the two mighty forces that are competing for every minute of our time? The two authors worked deep within the industry that is hell-bent on stealing our attention. Show us how to take it back. Where did John start, and where do we start? How to figure out the relationship you want to have with your phone and then design it? The reframing of our relationship with email and social media. The conscious audit and rethink? How do we install guard rails? The implementation of the daily highlights philosophy. Are we debriefing at the end of each day, and what questions should we specifically ask? If John were to add another chapter to the book, what would it be about? What’s the might-do list as opposed to the to-do list? We say we know what matters, yet our actions are completely contrary. Why is that the case? In John's mind, can we slow down the hand of time? A classic example of skill stacking: John stacks being a time geek, technology, design, being an illustrator, and author.  What’s the relationship between willpower and time? "Instinctively, we protect our physical selves. But when it comes to the mind, we’re less disciplined. We hand it over willingly to social media, to television, to what other people are doing, thinking, or saying.” —@dailystoic     LINKS   John Zeratsky About Me https://about.me/jazer   John Zeratsky on Twitter https://bit.ly/2XrHD8S   Make Time Blog https://maketime.blog   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Navy SEALS sniper, Jeremiah Dinnell "JP", served three combat deployments and won numerous awards for valour, including a silver star. Today JP is an instructor with Echelon Front the super successful leadership company created by SEALS Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. It has not been an easy road for this Texas frogman. Only two years ago JP was lost, struggling and delivering pizza. It's a familiar story for many guests who are doing good things - they have to overcome. We go inside the mind of an elite sniper. Here's what we discuss with JP in this interview.   When people ask JP what he does, how does he like to reply? Where does his desire to be of service to others come from? What part of JP's character does he draw from the memory of his sister? What lessons did his parents pass on to him that he wants to pass on to his kids? Where does his humility as a man come from? JP thrived in Ramadi. Why? Chris Kyle is one of the greatest snipers of all time. Why was he such an outstanding sniper? The process of calming our breath. What's the process and soundtrack JP has running through his mind on target? Can JP focus day-to-day in the business world, in the same way a sniper can focus and wait for the moment? What's the impact of working with two guys like Jocko Willink and Leif Babin? What was life like for JP just two years ago? Leif Babin said "It's not what you preach, it's what you tolerate" what will JP not tolerate? Working in finance after the SEALS teams, it simply was not working out, what was missing? Why could JP not apply what he knew in the teams to his family? SEALS do not quit, never give an inch, never settle, yet JP quit on his marriage. What's the critical learning. Stepson Aidan said the flag is Daddy's favourite thing. What are the values JP wants to represent his kids? The American flag is a trigger for JP. When he rubs his hand over it, what feelings and thoughts does he get? Teammate Platoon Commander Seth Stone - what legacy did Seth leave JP as a man? Seth Stone taught you always to carry a notebook and pen. Does JP still carry a notebook and pen? "Wanna be" vs "gonna be"… a moment that defined the desire for JP to be a SEAL. JP shaved his head and always presented cleanly shaved. What was the thinking behind that? JP will always have his shirt ironed, clothes laid out, kit sorted for the following day. JP is a disciplined, organised guy. What's the path, and how do we get on it? JP's email signature says "Live Life Without Fear." We all have fears, how do we go about living without them? There was a time when JP had to adjust his thinking from "I got to", to "I get to"   LINKS JP Dinnell website https://echelonfront.com/jp-dinnell/   JP Dinnell socials @jpdinnell   Echelon Front https://echelonfront.com   Muster Sydney https://bit.ly/2WZG7Pm   The Mojo Radio Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast     The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Christian Boucousis was an F/A-18 fighter pilot with the Australian RAAF. Today Boo teaches simple yet powerful techniques the RAAF honed to get work done faster, more successfully and with precision. At Mach 1.5 fighter pilots don't have much time to think. They prepare on the ground to take on anything in the air, then get their job done. This episode is about making clearer decisions, agility, and debriefing effectively. Furthermore, it is about putting plans into action with more speed, precision and success.   When people ask Boo what he does, how does he like to reply? Boo's medical discharge and finding purpose after being a Jet Fighter Pilot There are 500 items for a Jet Fighter Pilot to remember - why checklists are an essential SOP? "How we train is how we fight," yet in business we don't. Are we giving the advantage to our competitor? How do we ensure the mission has been heard and understood before leaving the briefing room? How do we create clarity around what we need to do? The power of the Blue Angels approach to the debrief The Afterburner process for a genuinely effective debrief - nameless, rankless. RESULT, REASON RESPONSE Taking ownership by the Blue Angels: "I'll fix my safeties, and I am glad to be here." Learning to take ownership of what went wrong and getting on to fix it An effective debrief can improve performance by 300%. Are some debriefs too subjective, too many peoples opinions? What is the Red Team? What's chasing the needle and does that show up in business? What's the OODA Loop process?  Boo has been conditioned to live and deal with stress as an elite jet fighter pilot.

Dr Jason Fox is the leadership guy for people who can't stand motivational speakers. People come to him for his fresh perspectives, contemporary philosophies and ideas in motivation design. He shows Fortune 500 brands like Microsoft, HP, Cisco, Oracle, Toyota, and Xero how to go deep into uncharted territory. This fascinating conversation goes into thinking, productivity, and productive deep thinking.   When people ask Jason what he does, how does he like to reply? To talk about one's self in a covered attempt is to convince you of one's character. Why is this best done as a character? Your authentic self or true self can be dangerous. Why? The authentic self or true self is a fallacy; there is no authentic self. Where does Jason stand? We discuss the Alter Ego Effect by former guest Todd Herman. The Wizard is Jason's word for the year. Did Jason attach values to the word for this year? Jason believes we put on armour to protect ourselves to survive. What is that protection? Jason is guilty of overthinking stuff. Des that get in the way of getting stuff done? Strategy today is driven by two things - bandwagonism or incrementalism. Jason explains. We are being kept captive by outdated views on productivity. What are the old notions? When we say it's a values conflict - could it just be an excuse not to get it done?

Jay Dobyns a federal agent for 27 years achieved worldwide notoriety as one of history's most daring undercover agents. Jay is the first lawman to defeat the multilayered security measures of the Hells Angels to become a member of the legendary Skull Valley charter. For 2 years, he lived inside the Hells Angels. Jay played the role of a hitman or debt collector living among street and prison gangs, extremists, gunrunners, drug traffickers and bomb builders.This is a special show to remember.   When people today ask Jay what he does, how does he like to reply? Jay took on the dirtiest, toughest jobs in undercover work… why? Was it Adrenalin, danger, the challenge, anger...what is the motivation to put Jay in the true line of fire? Jay's job was to pretend to be someone he's not, did he ever go too far? Todd Herman says our alter ego is a part of us, was it a part of Jay or did it take over? To go deep undercover was he conscious of his alter ego or was he so deep, he lost himself? How far from Jay was the alter ego he created as an identity to go undercover with the Hells Angels? Could he unhook away from the Hells Angels hangout? Is it still a part of Jay today? What rituals did he have to go through to get into the role each day? Was Jay a guy who could assume roles and identities easily? Was there training to prepare an Agent to assume an identity to go undercover? How did Jay go about creating situational awareness? Why being shot showed Jay that he wanted to be the guy that would stand up to the violence. How did his Dad shape who he is as a man today? What’s the image in the mirror he can see that he wants his kids to embody, learn and replicate. In his job he said he abandoned the very people who loved him the most, a story of regret. Is Jay a guy who carries regret? Was humility a trait that was instilled into Jay as a kid? Does he fear anything today? Jay Redman is the Overcome guy, Ray Cash Care is the Decimator…who is the Jay Bird? Hells Angels, biker, dealer, traded guns…what’s the soundtrack to the life of Jay, what’s his theme song?

Art Markman is a professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Art writes for the Harvard Business Review and his most recent book, Brain Briefs, focuses on how we use the science of motivation to change unhealthy behaviours at work and at home. In a terrific show, we cover how to frame our goals for success better, how to improve our focus, how to learn more effectively, and how to control the disempowering effect of social comparison.   When people ask Art what he does, how does he like to reply? A Professor gets paid to be confused. Can that be taken as a negative? What’s the thing we don’t know but should know about our minds? What’s the psychology behind changing a behaviour which is not helping us? Frame goals around go, not stop Make desirable behaviours easy, and undesirable behaviours hard How design beats discipline Focus on the process, not the outcomes. Is there a cognitive trigger we can use to develop sustainable change? Should we plan for what might go wrong and visualise the hardships? Getting ready for the most significant hurdles can change disempowering behaviour Can there be a sense of shame or guilt that accompanies goal setting? What are social comparisons and the effect it has on our wellness and our feeling of fulfilment Dissatisfaction is a good thing, and how it gives you the energy to act Wanting dissatisfaction alone can be frustrating. What else do we need with dissatisfaction? Are regrets positive? As we get older, do we talk ourselves into cognitive decline? Can we slow down time? Where is the sweet spot between gratitude and dissatisfaction?  Is gratitude a way to move away from social comparison? You can't fix an area you are not aware of, does it take a certain amount of humility? When learning should we go wide or go deep?  What is the cognitive science behind sleep?

Many of us grew up with rock legend Suzi Quatro. Suzie has sold over 55 million records worldwide. The iconic American female bass playing vocalist is also a recognised actor playing Leather Tuscadero with Henry Winkler and Ron Howard on Happy Days. She has a new album, and this fascinating conversation uncovers Suzie’s alter ego, the longevity to her music career, being on the road, her resilience and total belief in who she is and isn't.   Mike Chapman said there is a bit of Suzie in all female performers. What does that mean? Suzie said, “I’m staying exactly me.” When did Suzie first become aware of who she was at her core? When did Suzie realise that Suzie Q had become a brand? At the age of 5, Suzie discovered Elvis. Why was Suzie drawn to the image of Elvis? There’s Suzie from Detroit and Suzie Quatro. Which Suzie does interviews like this? The first single features the message “Don`t let go of yourself for anyone." Suzie's mantra. The lyric "I’ve gotta hold on to me.” Was there a time when she felt like she was letting go of herself? How did Suzie handle the naysayers, those who tried to derail Suzie as an artist? A view on the ageing process? Does Suzie have an alter ego, persona or identity when walking into the spotlight as Suzie Quatro? Suzie can feel an audience. When recording a lyric, does Suzie hear a melody, see the riff, or feel it? Is Suzie an emotional person? Is it very different from the leather rocker we love on stage? Coming from Detroit, does Suzie embrace challenge and struggle? Suzie was on the cover of Rolling Stone. Was that ever a dream? What’s the ego room, and why an ego room for Suzie? If Suzie can hand us one item that best represents her career, what would she give us? Where does Suzie draw creative inspiration from?  Suzie’s writing rituals Suzie likes her own company. Where does she put that in her day/week? Suzie tours on the road a lot, so off the road is Suzie a ritual or routine type of person? DR Quatro, never even graduated high school. What’s the message for kids and their parents? Ron Howard said, "don't take acting lessons." How did that comment impact Suzie and her beliefs? The song Suzie is most proud of off the new album.   LINKS   Suzie Quatro website http://www.suziquatro.com   Get experimental Bohemian Rhapsody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KajJ6TOydfQ   The Mojo Radio Show http://www.themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Innovation expert and questionologist, Warren Berger, studied hundreds of the world’s foremost innovators, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers to learn how they ask questions, generate original ideas and solve problems. Author of eleven books, Warren also writes for Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Wired Magazine, and The NY Times. We delve into "A More Beautiful Question" to unlock the power of curiosity to help us better performer in every aspect of our lives. We explore the power of a beautiful question.   When people ask Warren what he does, how does he like to reply Warren was a journalist for the NY Times and Wired Magazine. In a room of 20 journalists, what makes a great journalist? What’s the process of great journalistic enquiry? What makes a more beautiful question?  Do we sometimes not stay with questions long enough? Do we jump to the solution too quickly? Are we in a society of doing, rather than thinking and questioning? Is there a relationship between improving our listening skills and asking more questions? Netflix was born out of a question; what was the question? Does a leader who asks questions display weakness? Do people assume that as a leader, you know all the answers? Do we need to put aside ego to ask beautiful questions? To ask a beautiful question, do we need to put aside assumptions? Is it incumbent upon a leader to create a safe house for people to ask questions? Should asking questions become a habit of the mind?  Why asking a question of yourself says to your brain, "hey, think about this." "How might I?" vs "How can I?" At what point in our growing up did the curiosity and desire to ask questions diminish? What has the impact of search engines had on inquiry?

Is this common? “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”- William Arthur Ward. A story about his kids and the hotel housekeeper What did his report card at age 5 tell him when he discovered it while cleaning up his parents' house? When you are a non-conformist as a kid, you are taught that it’s a bad thing. How is Bob approaching that with his children? Is Bob typically a non-conformist? Should an entrepreneur wanting to succeed go wide in the knowledge base or go real deep in one expertise? It’s not just about what they learn; it’s also about how they consume, how Robert records and recalls learning. Does Robert journal?

Captain Martha LaGuardia-Kotite shares deep insights from 29 years in the US Coast Guard. She served ten years on active duty during two tours at sea where she was one of the first women to lead teams on missions in the Pacific Ocean. Today Martha writes and speaks on her experiences in leadership, diversity, resilient crisis management, and overcoming difficult challenges.   When people ask Martha what she does, how does she like to reply? At her retirement ceremony, Martha said: “I met the heart of the Coast Guard.” What’s the heart of the Coast Guard? Doing missions aboard a 110-foot patrol boat as the only woman executive, how did Martha see herself in the deployment? Was it always a dream for Martha to be at sea? Martha did a Masters in Journalism at Harvard to validate her writing. How important is validation? What is it like at the White House? What is the most harrowing situation Martha faced in the Coast Guard? In a crisis, where does one find the resilience to overcome? Taking risks to achieve bigger dreams while balancing life’s demands. What was the greatest fear Martha had to overcome? Is there a process to call upon? How has Martha’s ideology of leadership changed since she began in the military? What is the most critical choice Martha made about who she is today? Does Martha use a journal? What is Martha’s goal for discomfort this year?   LINKS Captain Martha J.

Martin Parnell an Englishman living in Canada ran 250 marathons in a year, and in doing so ran himself into the Guinness Book of Records. In 2002, at the age of 47, he started running, completing marathons, triathlons, ultra-marathons and setting four Guinness World Records along the way. This is a terrific story of a guy who found his why and set about achieving a true purpose. It’s a story of determination, ambition, resilience, service, compassion and love.   Here's what we discuss with Martin in this show:  When people ask Martin what he does, how does he like to reply? Of all of his running achievements, which event or run is his proudest moment? Martin was a tubby kid; how did he have to change his identity to become a runner? What is his message to his granddaughter Autumn? What impact do the kids of his charity - Right To Play - have on Martin performance? Does Martin use running as a platform to be able to help others? Martin thrives on long boring things, that is very different from how society operates. What is the mindset he takes to his activities? Where do his resilience and grit come from? When Martin runs, does he listen to a soundtrack, podcast, or is it just quiet? Martin has a running formula 9 + 1, 9 mins running 1 min walk, and he lives life 10 mins at a time. Martin talks about a dark moment in his running career and how did he deal with it? In 2015 in Winnipeg, Martin was feeling sick at a speaking engagement; it was a blood clot. We go to that night. The conversation Martin had with himself when he heard the news he had a blood clot and a very long road to recovery?  How does an extreme athlete face an extreme personal event?

The book is How to Speak Human, do we not know or do we know how to speak human? Jen’s view of the word professional George Bernard Shaw wrote "the single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Do many leaders have the illusion that it has taken place? How do we create a rhythm of communication around our Mission/Vision/Values? Are we becoming more visually literate? Is our expectation that work will look more visually appealing?  Should that visual appeal also work on the communication to our teams internally? For the new generations at work, work is more than just a wage. What is it about? Consistency, Consistency, Consistency, grenade… we discuss the value of rituals and routines.

Allen Gannett overturns the myths of creative genius and shows that it's not the province of genius - of those select brilliant few whose moments of insight arrive in unpredictable flashes of inspiration. Allan explains the science to achieving success in any creative field - from writing a novel to starting a successful company. Based on his book, The Creative Curve, you’ll forget everything you think you know about creative genius and find that everyone can better engineer success.   When people ask Allen what he does, how does he like to reply? What are the most significant misunderstandings about creativity? The flash of genius, the "ah-ha" moment is not a stroke of inspiration. What is the biology behind it? Consumption, the leading creatives seem to learn a lot about a little. It’s not just about what they learn, it’s also about how they consume. The operations of a laboratory and our left and right brain How valuable is the company we keep? Build a team with people from both fringe and the establishment. Describe fringe? Is it good to have conflicting collaborators? Is there an essential role for the non-conformist? Does spending time by yourself foster your imagination? The challenge of identity for Allen of - being an analytical guy who writes a book on creativity Is there any association between IQ and creative ability? Working to commissions - the rituals and routines of a creative person Is timing an important part of the creative process? Do great creatives see the world through a different lens? Since writing the book, what has Allen implemented at TrackMaven to foster a more creative environment? What did Allen take from his research and apply to his world?

The way we work is changing. The rise of freelancing and the gig economy means flexibility and independence, but it also means living with less security. Or does it? While you can’t future-proof your job, you can future-proof your career. Our guest this week Michelle Gibbings shows us how. In this episode, we examine how leaders get fit for the future of work, prepare for the inevitable tides of change, and develop the confidence to take decisive action in our working lives.     When people ask Michelle what she does, how does she like to reply? The subtitle of Career Leap is "how to reinvent and liberate your career." What does it mean to liberate your career? What decisions should we make to future-proof our career? Do many people consider their own why or purpose in their career? How does the future of work look? The future with AI, VR, AR, 3D, when CSIRO say half the jobs today are at risk of automation. Do the next generations still think in terms of a career? Creating a portfolio of work that excites you. What's the gig economy and how's it going to impact the current workplace? What are the core technology competencies that will be most in demand by 2022? Michelle knows how to ask a question. Is there a key to questioning? What impact did Michelle's childhood environment have on her thirst for learning?

We like to get along at home and in the workplace. We don't want to offend anyone. Many view harmony, cohesiveness, and agreement as the building blocks for a great work culture, effective decision-making, and creativity. But they are wrong. Professor Charlan Nemeth, the world's leading expert on dissent, uses 35 years of research to show us why we need rebels. She explains how people with minority opinions need space to express themselves with no compromise. This is a show for the rebels.   Why was this book deeply personal for Professor Nemeth? How far back can Professor Nemeth remember conforming being part of her conscious thinking? Was there a moment when Professor Nemeth thought “why is it like this?” What is the real danger of consensus? Do we carry false beliefs around conflict? The value of dissent does not lie in its correctness. So where does it lie? We argue with dissenters; we question their motives, is this where authentic dissension is important? Do true authentic dissenters, dissent within themselves as well as externally?  Why are there so many people in meetings around the world who want to speak up, but won’t? Why does the majority always rule? Do we need the leader to provide protection, to create a safe house for dissension?  Is there a difference between dissension and being a dissenter? The danger with the majority is that they fail to see the bend in the road. We explain. The original rules of brainstorming say, defer judgement.

American long-distance runner, Deena Kastor, won the bronze medal in the Olympic women's marathon in Athens. She was an eight-time national champion in cross country and won both the Chicago Marathon and the London Marathon. Deena has defied the odds over and over again to achieve her dreams and smash through barriers. This episode helps us reprogram our minds for the marathon of life ahead.   When people ask Deena what she does, how does she like to reply? "I’m slower than I was, I am not going to run a 2.19 ever again.” Deena on creating a new identity. What Deena discovered about the struggle that comes with running a marathon? Can we come to learn to embrace struggle? Deena’s proudest moment came in Chicago where she placed 6th. She did 7 mins slower than her personal best, why was that so special? In the 2008 Olympic Marathon, Deena was favoured to run well and finished the race in a bus. The process of dealing with that and repairing our spirit. Every marathon is hard - how we think about a thought that will serve us better. How to compartmentalise? How does Deena bring herself to the moment at the start line when it is all on the line? At the start line, it's you, Kenyans to your left, Ethiopians to your right, they are going to work against you. How did you build the belief that you can be your best? How does Deena view disappointment?  Barack Obama said, "there is nothing more defining of our character or satisfying to our spirit than giving our all to a difficult task." What was the darkest moment Deena faced in a race that brought the most satisfying moment? Deena was found to have melanoma and was told it could be genetic. How did that impact Deena? Deena was adopted, how did Deena view adoption and was there a story created in her mind at that time? The purpose of running is to test the spirit of the human heart, would Deena agree? Why is marathon such a beautiful race? Deena talks of having an angel and a devil on her shoulders, how does she manage that dialogue? Can Kipchoge's do it…can he run a sub-2hr marathon? Not overtrained, but under-recovered. Not overworking, under-rested.   LINKS Deena Kastor website http://deenakastor.com   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Dave Acosta is a mental fitness coach and speaker on elite leadership. A former point-man on the Las Vegas SWAT, he works globally with elite military and security forces. Dave studies what makes the elite -- elite. In this show, we discuss the formula Dave created that includes four common denominators that every elite performer possesses. Here’s what we cover in this show with Dave.   When people ask Dave what he does, how does he like to reply? The front of Dave's website says, “Your Defining Moment." Why that statement? Do we need to be more aware of our surroundings today? What is Dave telling his kids when they are out and about? When asked to consult the Navy SEALS in Iraq, how did he handle his mindset amongst elite performers in a combat situation? Teamwork for SEALS was different from anything Dave had seen….why? SEALS know that if they cut a corner, someone else will play the price. Who pays?  Never cut corners…what does that mean in the forces?  Dave has a unique quality, he reinforces his students trust in themselves. How does he go about doing that? Dave believes in three things: recognise, assess and react - he explains that to us. Dave is a mental fitness coach; a corporate worker is not fit if they are mentally unfit. Where should they start to get mentally fit? How do elite performers sustain their high level of performance? Is purposeful suffering a form of stress inoculation?  In Iraq, Dave learned, "I’m capable." He said to himself, "I’m capable." What made Dave believe that? What has Dave eliminated from his work to make is more efficient or productive? Quitting and giving up are two different things - why?   LINKS   Dave Acosta http://daveacosta.com/   Fight Back Nation training with Dave Acosta http://www.fightbacknation.org   Jason Mraz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZi3gJSWd4Y   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.

Dr Gabrielle Lyon is an elite performance physician who works with Navy SEAL’s, Wall Street executives, and professional athletes. Dr Lyon discusses how to restore our metabolism, balance our hormones, and gain clarity of what aspects of our body, mind and health need healing. Dr Lyon gives us a strategic plan so we can take our life back. A Fitness America finalist, professional fitness model and national figure competitor, Dr Lyon is at the top of the wellness industry. Here's what we discuss with Dr Lyon in this episode.       When Dr Lyon is asked what she does, how does she like to reply? We are not overweight; we are under-muscled What's the relationship between obesity and muscle? The term muscle is not used in general wellness, why is it important? How does muscle impact the process of ageing? What is an anabolic resistance? How much protein do we need? Why has protein become the black sheep of the macronutrient family? Plant protein vs living protein (animal) What is the relationship between muscle and the brain? A sedentary lifestyle needs more protein, which is counter to common belief? Can we get protein from our greens? Dr Lyon takes breaks from protein consumption, how does that benefit us? How do we deal with brain fog? What is it and how do we clear the fog? Why have we been convinced we should eat cereals for breakfast? What's the effect of too little protein? Is Dr Lyon a person who buys into rituals or routines? Within three months everything Dr Lyon thought was unshakable changed, what changed?  Discussion of Sealfit The learning for Dr Lyon has been exquisite, including 1. Never surrender your power but stand in it. 2. Never give up, especially on yourself. 3. Listen deeply to the voice within; it is wise.   LINKS Gabrielle Lyon https://www.drgabriellelyon.com   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.
