      <title>From Prison Cell to Freedom: Greg Kelley's Fight to Prove His Innocence</title>
      <description>Greg Kelley is a former high school football standout whose life was derailed at 18 when he was wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and sentenced to 25 years in prison. After enduring years inside maximum security facilities, Kelley never stopped fighting for the truth—and was ultimately exonerated, exposing major failures within the justice system. Today, he shares his story to raise awareness about wrongful convictions, resilience, and the power of maintaining faith and discipline under extreme adversity.



Today on the show we discuss: what it’s really like to walk into prison at 18 for a crime you didn’t commit, how Greg Kelley survived a brutal system designed to break him and the mindset that kept him alive, the hidden failures inside the justice system that led to his wrongful conviction and why innocent people still get locked away, the moment he was forced to choose between a plea deal and risking his entire life for the truth, how discipline purpose and faith became his anchor in the darkest environment imaginable, and what it takes to rebuild your identity after everything you worked for is taken from you and much more.

      <description>Stefanos Sifandos is a relationship educator who bridges nervous-system work, trauma-aware intimacy, and sacred partnership for high-capacity people. His work integrates behavioral science with embodied practice— helping successful men and women stop performing their way through life and start building relationships rooted in truth, devotion, and felt safety.



Today on the show we discuss: how to heal the hidden childhood wounds that quietly shape your adult life, the warning signs you’re being driven by unresolved trauma, hwhy awareness alone isn’t enough to create real change, how nervous system regulation is the foundation for transformation, how to break free from victim mentality and stepping into personal responsibility, the role of relationships and co-regulation in true healing, how to reconnect with your body to access deeper emotional work, and why success without inner work still leaves you feeling unfulfilled and much more.

      <title>How To Stop Quitting When Life Gets Hard | Andy Stumpf</title>
      <description>Andy Stumpf is a former U.S. Navy SEAL, combat veteran, and entrepreneur who served with one of the most elite special operations units in the world. After his military career, he transitioned into aviation, business, and media, becoming the host of the Cleared Hot podcast, where he breaks down leadership, decision-making, and real-world performance. 

Today on the show we discuss: why people quit when life gets hard and how overwhelm leads to bad decisions, the mindset shift from victim to taking full responsibility for your life, how breaking goals into small steps builds real momentum and lasting change, why discipline is choosing short-term difficulty to avoid long-term suffering, the hidden cost of chasing shortcuts instead of doing the work, and how adversity can either break you or become the foundation for who you’re meant to become and much more.

      <title>How To Rebuild Your Life When You Feel Completely Broken, Lost &amp; Hopeless | Jen Fisher</title>
      <description>Jen Fisher is Deloitte's former first Chief Wellbeing Officer, a former lecturer at Harvard and UCLA, host of the popular WorkWell Podcast, and author of the book: Hope Is the Strategy: The Underrated Skill That Transforms Work, Leadership, and Wellbeing.

Today on the show we discuss why hope isn't just wishful thinking, the three-part science-backed framework that turns it into a real strategy, how hope and hopelessness can coexist and why that's actually the key to moving through your darkest moments, the "Pollyanna trap" and why unrealistic expectations leave you worse off than when you started, why tunnel vision kills progress and how to keep moving when one door closes, the one daily action that builds momentum when life feels like it's falling apart, and much more.

      <title>The Hidden Beliefs That Keep You Stuck For Decades | Nir Eyal</title>
      <description>Nir Eyal is a globally recognized authority on behavior change and human potential. His frameworks have empowered millions to build better habits, enhance focus, and unlock greater agency in their lives and work. A former lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford, Nir has collaborated with leaders and organizations worldwide to boost performance through behavior design.

Today on the show we discuss: the two types of beliefs that control everything you do and why most people are stuck in the wrong ones, why motivation is not a straight line and the real reason people keep quitting on their goals, the wild rat study from the 1950s that proves a single belief shift can make you 240 times more persistent, why positive thinking and vision boards are actually working against you, the four questions that can tear down any limiting belief in real time, and why your beliefs about aging may be more powerful than your diet, your workouts, or whether you smoke and much more.

      <title>The Untold Story of Hilary Phelps: Sobriety, Shame &amp; Redemption</title>
      <description>Hilary Phelps is a holistic performance coach, speaker, and founder of The Right Room, dedicated to helping women navigate recovery, burnout, and major life transitions with clarity, compassion, and somatic tools.

Today on the show we discuss: why Hilary waited 15 years to speak openly about her sobriety and the shame that kept her silent, the rise of mommy wine culture and why women are drinking more than ever, how being a high-functioning blackout drinker made it easy to deny she had a real problem, the role bullying and the need to fit in played in fueling her addiction, why alcohol was never the real issue and what she was actually trying to numb, the power of community in early sobriety and why you cannot do it alone, and much more.

      <title>How To Take Complete Control When Life Falls Apart | Ken Rideout</title>
      <description>Ken Rideout is the fastest marathoner in the world over fifty and a former prison guard, Wall Street trader, and opioid addict. His life story has been chronicled in such publications as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Outside. Since getting sober more than a decade ago, he has won some of the world’s toughest races, including, at age fifty-two, the Gobi March—a 155-mile, self-supported race across the sweltering Gobi Desert in Mongolia—and a few months later, the Masters (50+) Marathon World Championships. In addition to his many running victories, he has completed more than ten Ironman triathlons. In 2018, Ken founded capital solutions firm Camrock Advisors. More recently, he founded talent agency Rideout Sports and Entertainment.

Today on the show we discuss: overcoming a devastating opioid addiction and rebuilding life through endurance sports, why discipline and consistency beat talent when it comes to success, the brutal mental battles that happen during elite endurance racing, how to respond when life hits you with unexpected chaos, the difference between quitting and losing and why quitting haunts you forever, and the mindset shift that turns adversity into fuel for growth and much more.

      <title>The Brutal Truth About What It Takes To Transform Your Life | Patrick Bet-David</title>
      <description>Patrick Bet-David is an entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Valuetainment, one of the largest business and personal development platforms in the world. He also hosts the PBD Podcast, where he interviews world-class entrepreneurs, leaders, and thinkers about business, leadership, and building a meaningful life.

Today on the show we discuss: how to stay optimistic when nothing in your life suggests things will get better, why taking personal responsibility instead of playing the victim changes the trajectory of your life, how changing your habits and environment can completely transform your future, the three forces that often shape highly successful people, why keeping your word and stacking small wins builds real confidence and credibility, how adversity and belief in your future self can help you build a life that once felt impossible and much more.

      <description>Kevin Clancy, widely known as KFC, was one of the first personalities to join Barstool Sports and is one of the brand’s most influential content creators.

Today on the show we discuss: how Kevin rebuilt his identity after public humiliation, the psychological weight of guilt and regret, raising kids while carrying public shame, surviving internet judgment and cancel culture, the evolution of Barstool from startup to media empire, what Dave Portnoy is like as a boss, why he decided to end his show after 15+ years and much more.

      <title>"Productivity Is a Lie" - Follow This Formula To Get Ahead of 99% of People | Jonathan Goodman</title>
      <description>Jonathan Goodman is an author, coach, and creator of Unhinged Habits, a book about strategic subtraction, seasonality, and designing health, relationships, and work you don’t need to escape from.

Today on the show we discuss: why doing everything right still leaves you feeling empty, how seasons of intensity beat the myth of balance, the triangle framework of health, relationships, and money and what happens when one side collapses, the difference between your job and your work and why your passion should never become your livelihood, using off-season checklists to maintain what you're not actively building, why spending $10,000 on playoff tickets with his brother and son that turned out to be the best money he ever spent and much more.

<p>Today on the show we discuss: why doing everything right still leaves you feeling empty, how seasons of intensity beat the myth of balance, the triangle framework of health, relationships, and money and what happens when one side collapses, the difference between your job and your work and why your passion should never become your livelihood, using off-season checklists to maintain what you're not actively building, why spending $10,000 on playoff tickets with his brother and son that turned out to be the best money he ever spent and much more.</p>

      <title>Surviving The Unthinkable: How Paul Rosolie Escaped Death In The Amazon Jungle</title>
      <description>Paul Rosolie is a naturalist, explorer, author, and award-winning wildlife filmmaker.

Today on the show we discuss: how Paul went from a kid in New Jersey to living in the Amazon rainforest, the Discovery Channel disaster that derailed his career and the brutal lessons it forced him to learn, the emotional toll of dedicating your life to something that is constantly under threat, what it actually takes to challenge yourself in a comfort-obsessed modern world, the difference between engineered discomfort and real adversity, what it was like being stung by an Amazonian stingray, how Paul survived being nearly killed by uncontacted tribes and much more.

      <title>Charlotte Flair Opens Up About Confidence, Self-Doubt, Grief &amp; Mental Health</title>
      <description>Charlotte Flair (born Ashley Fliehr) is a 14x WWE Champion and one of the most decorated female wrestlers in professional wrestling history.



Today on the show we discuss how to create a powerful alter ego to become the person you aspire to be, the disconnect between confidence in performance and insecurity in real life, and why imposter syndrome often intensifies as success grows. We break down what it takes to push through fear after a career-threatening injury, why showing up consistently matters more than feeling ready, and how fitness, routine, and disciplined self-care become anchors for mental health and long-term resilience and much more.

      <description>Ethan Suplee is an actor and podcast host best known for his roles in Remember the Titans, American History X, and My Name Is Earl, and for his raw honesty about losing over 300 pounds, sobriety, and the ongoing inner work behind lasting transformation.

      <title>How To Become Dangerously Confident &amp; Stop Letting Self-Doubt Limit Your Potential | Dr. Shadé Zahrai</title>
      <description>Dr. Shadé Zahrai is a behavioral researcher, award-winning peak performance educator, and leading authority on confidence and self-doubt. A former corporate lawyer with an MBA and background in psychology, she has designed and delivered transformative programs for Fortune 500 giants including Google, Microsoft, LVMH, JP Morgan, and McKinsey. Named one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices for career development, Shadé has taught over 7 million learners on LinkedIn Learning. Her TEDx talks and viral videos have amassed more than 300 million views, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, Adweek, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance. 

Today on the show we discuss why self-doubt doesn’t disappear with success and often intensifies as responsibility and visibility increase, how distorted self-image rather than lack of confidence drives chronic self-doubt, the four psychological traits that quietly shape how confident or insecure someone feels day to day, why confidence is the wrong target and self-trust is what actually eliminates doubt long-term, how comparison and impostor syndrome escalate as people level up and why that’s a sign of growth, and the practical tools that help stop internalizing doubt while rebuilding real self-trust through action and much more.

        <![CDATA[<p>Dr. Shadé Zahrai is a behavioral researcher, award-winning peak performance educator, and leading authority on confidence and self-doubt. A former corporate lawyer with an MBA and background in psychology, she has designed and delivered transformative programs for Fortune 500 giants including Google, Microsoft, LVMH, JP Morgan, and McKinsey. Named one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices for career development, Shadé has taught over 7 million learners on LinkedIn Learning. Her TEDx talks and viral videos have amassed more than 300 million views, and her work has been featured in <em>The New York Times</em>, <em>Adweek</em>, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance. </p>
<p>Today on the show we discuss why self-doubt doesn’t disappear with success and often intensifies as responsibility and visibility increase, how distorted self-image rather than lack of confidence drives chronic self-doubt, the four psychological traits that quietly shape how confident or insecure someone feels day to day, why confidence is the wrong target and self-trust is what actually eliminates doubt long-term, how comparison and impostor syndrome escalate as people level up and why that’s a sign of growth, and the practical tools that help stop internalizing doubt while rebuilding real self-trust through action and much more.</p>

      <title>Why Weight Loss Feels Impossible (And What Actually Works Long Term) | Dr. William Li</title>
      <description>Dr. William Li is an internationally renowned physician, scientist and author of the books "Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself" and "Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live Longer.”

Today on the show we discuss: why body fat is biologically essential and not something to fear or eliminate, how chronic overeating slowly rewires metabolism and drives long term weight gain, the fuel tank analogy that fundamentally changes how people understand fat storage, practical habits that shut down mindless eating without rigid dieting, why extreme all or nothing approaches consistently fail over time, and how to get lean sustainably while protecting both physical and mental health and much more.

      <title>You Can’t Out-Supplement a Bad Lifestyle (But This One Actually Works) | Dave Watumull</title>
      <description>Dave Watumull is on a mission to bring astaxanthin to the world. This marine super nutrient supports whole body health and longevity and has captured his imagination for more than 25 years of research, development, and commercialization. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of AX3 Life, a consumer health company dedicated to astaxanthin products, education, and community. He is also the COO of Cardax, a life sciences business focused on pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications of astaxanthin.

Today on the show we discuss: Why diet sleep and movement remain the foundation of longevity no matter what you supplement, how most longevity supplements collapse when you actually examine the science, the most overlooked longevity supplement that actually works, why hype and marketing dominate the biohacking space more than evidence, how astaxanthin works at the cellular level to support aging pathways and how to evaluate supplements intelligently without wasting money or chasing trends and much more.

      <title>How To Control Your Emotions, Build Confidence &amp; Finally Feel Respected | Jefferson Fisher</title>
      <description>Jefferson Fisher is a board-certified Texas trial lawyer and founder of Fisher Firm. With his extensive experience as a trial lawyer, Jefferson understands the art of persuading and communicating effectively in high-conflict situations, and is one of the most sought after names in functional thinking for modern day communication. Known for his practical videos and authentic presence, Jefferson has amassed over 7 million social media followers—making him the most followed litigation attorney in the world—all in less than a year, all from inside his vehicle. 

Today on the show we discuss: why people talk constantly yet still feel misunderstood, how miscommunication is less about words and more about tone and perception, why framing conversations before they start changes how you’re heard, the difference between being liked and being respected, how self-talk and old emotional scripts shape every interaction, tools for maintaining emotional control during difficult conversations, how boundaries and self-awareness protect relationships and prevent resentment and much more.

      <title>How To Find Hope When Your Life Is Falling Apart | Dr. Julia Garcia</title>
      <description>Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, author, and renowned speaker dedicated to empowering people through the science of mental health. For nearly two decades, she has worked with educators, students, business leaders, and individuals facing life’s toughest moments - helping them break through fear, doubt, and hopelessness to build lasting habits of healing and hope.



Today on the show we discuss: why hope is not happiness or positivity but a skill you can build in chaos, how honesty with your emotions is the first step out of hopelessness, why small “maybe moments” can interrupt destructive thought cycles, how performance culture and comparison quietly erode confidence and meaning, why courage is built through tiny daily choices not massive life changes, and how a simple framework can help you rebuild hope identity and direction after rock bottom and much more.

      <itunes:summary>Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, author, and renowned speaker dedicated to empowering people through the science of mental health. For nearly two decades, she has worked with educators, students, business leaders, and individuals facing life’s toughest moments - helping them break through fear, doubt, and hopelessness to build lasting habits of healing and hope.



Today on the show we discuss: why hope is not happiness or positivity but a skill you can build in chaos, how honesty with your emotions is the first step out of hopelessness, why small “maybe moments” can interrupt destructive thought cycles, how performance culture and comparison quietly erode confidence and meaning, why courage is built through tiny daily choices not massive life changes, and how a simple framework can help you rebuild hope identity and direction after rock bottom and much more.

      <title>Neuroscientist: How To Break The Bad Habits That Keep Anxiety Coming Back | Dr. Jud Brewer</title>
      <description>Judson Brewer, MD, PhD (“Dr. Jud”), is a New York Times best-selling author and a leading authority on habit change and the science of self-mastery. He serves as the Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center and as a professor at Brown University. An internationally recognized psychiatrist specializing in mindfulness for addiction, Dr. Jud has developed innovative mindfulness programs for smoking cessation, emotional eating, and anxiety. He has investigated the neural mechanisms of mindfulness using standard and real-time fMRI and EEG neurofeedback. He has trained U.S. Olympic athletes, coaches, and foreign government ministers. His work has been featured on “60 Minutes,” TED (one of the most-viewed talks of 2016 with over 20 million views), The New York Times, Time magazine, Forbes, BBC, NPR, and more. 

Today on the show we discuss: why anxiety isn’t random but reinforced through habit loops and how understanding your brain changes everything, how dopamine drives both addiction and worry and why bad habits feel easier to form than good ones, the critical difference between fear worry and anxiety and how confusing them keeps people stuck, why willpower fails under stress and how curiosity becomes the fastest way to break anxiety cycles, how mindfulness works at a neuroscience level without meditation jargon or sitting on a cushion, and why anxiety has become an identity online and what actually helps people reduce it instead of managing it forever.

      <title>The #1 Way to Lose Fat Without Tanking Your Energy Levels | Dr. Thomas Levy</title>
      <description>Dr. Thomas Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize
this toxicity. He has now written 14 books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. 

Today on the show we discuss how fat loss increases oxidative stress, why vitamin C is essential for energy and muscle preservation, how magnesium deficiency disrupts metabolism and recovery, why mitochondrial health drives fat loss and longevity, how chronic stress accelerates cellular aging, and why liposomal supplements improve nutrient absorption and much more.

        <![CDATA[<p>Dr. Thomas Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize
this toxicity. He has now written 14 books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. 

Today on the show we discuss how fat loss increases oxidative stress, why vitamin C is essential for energy and muscle preservation, how magnesium deficiency disrupts metabolism and recovery, why mitochondrial health drives fat loss and longevity, how chronic stress accelerates cellular aging, and why liposomal supplements improve nutrient absorption and much more.</p>

      <title>Relationship Expert: The Myths That Destroy Marriages &amp; Keep You From Being Happy | Vanessa Bennett</title>
      <description>Vanessa Bennett, LMFT, is a licensed depth therapist, and author of the new book, The Motherhood Myth: A Depth Therapist’s Guide to Redefine Parenting, Reimagine Intimacy, and Reclaim the Self.

Today on the show we discuss why relationships often fall apart after having kids, the hidden identity crisis that comes with becoming a parent, the dangerous myth that motherhood and partnership should come naturally and effortlessly, why having a baby never fixes a broken relationship and usually exposes deep cracks instead, how real intimacy goes far beyond sex into emotional connection and shared responsibility, and why purpose and partnership — not power or control — are the foundation of healthy modern relationships

      <title>How to Prepare for Menopause Before It’s Too Late | Dr. Mariza Snyder</title>
      <description>Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women’s hormone expert and the author of eight books.

Today on the show we discuss: why perimenopause and menopause affect relationships and families not just women, how chronic stress blood sugar instability and poor sleep quietly destroy hormones, why community and connection matter more for aging well than any supplement or diet, how to train and eat in midlife to protect muscle brain and metabolism, why menopause should be seen as a powerful reset instead of a decline, and what men need to understand to show up better as partners during hormonal change and much more.

      <title>Navy SEAL Secrets to Dominate Fear, Pressure &amp; Discomfort | Brent Gleason</title>
      <description>Brent Gleeson is a Navy SEAL combat veteran, award-winning entrepreneur, author, and acclaimed speaker on topics ranging from leadership and building high performance teams to culture, resilience, and organizational transformation. Upon leaving SEAL Team 5, Brent turned his discipline and battlefield lessons to the world of business and has become an accomplished entrepreneur, best-selling author and acclaimed speaker on topics ranging from leadership and building high performance teams to culture and organizational transformation. 

Today on the show we discuss: why Navy SEAL training was easier than overcoming addiction, how fear and anxiety quietly sabotage decision-making and confidence, why motivation fails and discipline wins in the long run, the mindset shift that turns pressure and discomfort into fuel, how identity matters more than goals when rebuilding your life, why eliminating alcohol became the turning point for clarity and leadership and much more.

      <title>NAD: The Molecule That Controls How Fast You Age | Dr. Andrew Salzman</title>
      <description>Dr. Andrew Salzman is a Harvard-educated physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development, Dr. Salzman has published over 170 clinical studies, been cited in more than 12,000 peer-reviewed papers, and obtained over 50 patents. His invention of an NAD-activated DNA repair mechanism led to the world's first clinical treatment for ovarian and breast cancer caused by BRCA gene mutations.

Today on the show we discuss: why energy declines as you age and what actually causes it, how a single molecule impacts aging and cognition, the real role of diet and exercise in cellular health, why inflammation may be the true driver of aging, the truth about NAD drips and supplementation, and what matters most if you want to live longer and perform better.

      <title>The Ultimate Guide To Becoming The #1 Dad In The World | Larry Hagner</title>
      <description>Larry Hagner is the founder of The Dad Edge, a leading voice in modern fatherhood and men’s personal growth. After overcoming a childhood marked by abandonment, abuse, and the absence of strong male role models, Larry has spent the last decade helping men become more present, connected, and resilient fathers.

Today on the show we discuss: how growing up without a present father quietly shapes a man’s identity, the four pillars every dad must master to raise resilient and connected kids, how to communicate in a way that makes your children see you as their safe 3AM call, the biggest mistakes modern fathers make without realizing it, why modeling your marriage is the #1 predictor of your child’s future relationships, how to navigate blended families without chaos, and the healing journey Larry took to break generational cycles, rebuild trust, and redefine what true masculinity looks like.

      <title>80+ Years of Wisdom on Love, Purpose, Addiction &amp; Faith | Senator Frank Kelly</title>
      <description>Senator Frank Kelly is the founder of Kelly Benefits, a former Maryland state senator, and someone I’ve been fortunate to know personally. His influence spans business, politics, faith, and family  and I’m confident in saying he’s been one of the most impactful leaders in the development of the state of Maryland. I’m grateful to call him a friend.

Today on the show we discuss: how Frank surrendered his life and stayed sober for over 55 years, why putting God first became the foundation for his marriage and purpose, the real truth about success that young people never hear, the mindset shifts that helped him build a 50-year business and a thriving three-generation family, how he navigated ego and power in politics, the spiritual practices that kept him grounded for decades, the life lessons he wishes every 20, 30 and 40-year-old understood before it’s too late, and much more.

      <title>Neuroscientist: How To Rewire Your Brain To Feel Alive, Connected &amp; Happy Again | Dr. Ben Rein</title>
      <description>Ben Rein, PhD, is an award-winning neuroscientist, chief science officer of the Mind Science Foundation, adjunct lecturer at Stanford University, clinical assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo, and renowned science educator. Dr. Rein’s research focuses on the neuroscience of social interactions, and he also teaches neuroscience to an audience of more than one million social media followers.

Today on the show we discuss: why loneliness is as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, how chronic isolation silently destroys your brain and body, the neuroscience behind why your brain treats being alone like a life-threatening event, why digital connection isn’t real connection and how social media is rewiring your empathy, practical ways to rebuild real relationships in a disconnected world, the hidden science of rejection and forgiveness and why strong bonds can literally help you live longer, and much more.

      <title>The Unexpected Gifts That Came From Quitting Alcohol | Suzanne Warye</title>
      <description>Suzanne Warye is a sobriety influencer (@suzannewarye and @thesobermomlife) and the host of the popular podcast The Sober Mom Life. As the founder of The Sober Mom Life Cafe, she has created a supportive digital community for women to explore their relationships with alcohol and find freedom in sobriety. 

Today on the show we discuss: the unexpected gifts that came from quitting alcohol, how shame, guilt, and anxiety kept Suzanne trapped for decades, why moderation is always a losing game, the myth of not being “addicted enough” to stop, the role of community and true friendships in building lasting change, the daily habits that fueled her transformation, how sobriety helped her heal deep wounds of self-worth and become the mom she always wanted to be, and so much more.

      <title>The Golden Rules For Building Muscle &amp; Losing Fat Over Age 40 | Stan Efferding</title>
      <description>Stan Efferding is an IFBB pro bodybuilder and has his bachelor of science in psychology and exercise science from the University of Oregon. Stan is a multiple all -time world record holding powerlifter and has been training high school, Collegiate, and Professional athletes for over 25 years.

      <title>Signs You're Stuck In Survival Mode &amp; How To End Your Anxiety For Good | Dr. Russell Kennedy</title>
      <description>Dr. Russell Kennedy, aka “The Anxiety MD.” Dr. Kennedy specializes in the art and neuroscience of helping people recover from anxiety disorders. He knows anxiety from the inside out, as he developed his own anxiety disorder due to growing up with a dad with severe schizophrenia. Dr. Kennedy has degrees and advanced training in medicine, neuroscience and developmental psychology —but it’s not all science, as he is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher and was a professional stand-up comedian for over a decade (no joke!) In his award-winning book and audiobook, ANXIETY RX, he shows a practical, actionable program for anxiety relief that incorporates a combination of the latest in neuroscience with the grounding wisdom of the body with the ultimate goal of relieving the anxious thoughts of the mind.



Today on the show we discuss: the first warning sign that your body is stuck in survival mode, why healing your nervous system begins with “feeling safe” in your body, how to reduce your anxiety both in the short term and long term, why unhealed trauma prevents you from thriving in life, simple ways for escaping anxious thoughts, habits that silently make anxiety worse over time, how to conquer uncertainty for good and much more.

      <title>From Rock Bottom to Rockstar: Morgan Wade's Powerful Story of Sobriety, Transformation &amp; Reinvention</title>
      <description>Morgan Wade stands alone in her ability to dissect and examine human emotion through her visceral songwriting. Her 2024 album, Obsessed, was a solo-written opus, which No Depression declared, “She’s without a doubt one of the finest singers in country and Americana music today, and this album is her best yet.” Now, Wade readies The Party is Over (recovered), a collection of songs old and new that continues the intense exploration of her psyche’s recesses that she again wrote solo. As ever, the results are thrilling. Out now, The Party Is Over (recovered) connects Wade’s past and present, showing she hasn’t lost an ounce of her dedication to shining a light into the dark places where the truth hides out. Since debuting in 2021 with Reckless, Wade has found herself gaining considerable attention and admiration amongst her country and roots music peers as well as musicians in the rock and pop world. She’s toured with everyone from Eric Church and Chris Stapleton to Alanis Morissette, Joan Jett and, most recently, Shinedown. Once of the most noteworthy and celebrated artists of her time, Wade has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Garden &amp; Gun, People, Tennessean, Variety, and many more.

Today on the show we discuss: Morgan’s powerful sobriety journey, how she’s learned to manage other addictive patterns, how she stays sober while touring, why fitness and discipline are cornerstones of her recovery, how sobriety has made her a stronger musician, what it was like touring with Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett, how she handles the comparison trap and much more.

      <title>Cannabis Scientist: Why Today's Weed Is Dangerous, Highly Addictive &amp; Hard To Quit | Dr. Yasmin Hurd</title>
      <description>Dr. Yasmin Hurd is the Director of the Addiction Institute within the Mount Sinai Behavioral Health System as well as the Ward Coleman Chair of Translational Neuroscience and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Dr. Hurd is an internationally renowned neuroscientist whose translational research examines the neurobiology of drug abuse and related psychiatric disorders. Her research exploring the neurobiological effects of cannabis and heroin has significantly shaped the field. Using multidisciplinary research approaches, her research has provided unique insights into the impact of developmental cannabis exposure and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the drug’s protracted effects into adulthood and even across generations. Dr. Hurd’s basic science research is complemented by clinical laboratory investigations evaluating the therapeutic potential of novel science-based strategies for the treatment of opioid addiction and related psychiatric disorders including pioneering work with cannabidiol. Based on these high impact accomplishments and her advocacy of drug addiction education and health, Dr. Hurd was inducted into both the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Science, complementing other honors she has received in the field.

Today on the show we discuss: how high potency THC changes the brain, why today’s weed is much stronger than it used to be, the shocking medical risks of using marijuana (besides damaging your mental health), the surprising truth about what weed withdrawal looks like, why people deny their addiction to cannabis, what life can look like after quitting weed and much more.

      <title>Changing Your Life Is Impossible UNTIL You Learn These 3 Life Lessons! | Najwa Zebian</title>
      <description>Dr. Najwa Zebian is an activist, educator, speaker, author and relationship expert. Dr. Zebian began to write in an effort to connect with and heal her first students, a group of young refugees, but found that she was also writing to heal herself. In her first book, Welcome Home, she presented a guide for people to become a safe space for themselves, to see themselves through their own eyes, and to leave self-abandoning patterns behind.

Today on the show we discuss: why people stay in unfulfilled lives, 3 things you can do to make the most out of life changes, how to know if you are the common denominator of your problems, how to leave relationships without guilt, strategic ways to deal with uncertainty, how to leave environments that you have outgrown and much more.

      <description>Sal Di Stefano is one of the hosts of the highly popular Mind Pump Podcast, a show that exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more.

      <title>"My Parents Died from Opiate Addiction - This Is How I Turned Grief Into Purpose" | Lauren Sisler</title>
      <description>Lauren Sisler is an Emmy Award-winning ESPN sideline reporter whose inspiring journey of resilience highlights the power of falling in love with your story. At just 18, while most kids are finding their independence and enjoying college life, Lauren was faced with the unimaginable: the sudden and unexpected loss of both parents to prescription drug addiction. Their deaths, coupled with the shocking revelation of their hidden addiction, left her grappling with profound grief and unanswered questions. Despite this, Lauren carved a path for herself first as an NCAA gymnast and now as a much-loved voice on the sidelines of college football's biggest games, known by ESPN viewers for her viral "sideline shimmy." However, behind her success was a woman who hadn't yet confronted the deep-seated trauma of her past.

Today on the show we discuss: the tragic loss of her parents to opiate addiction, unpacking Lauren's childhood and her parents hidden drug addiction, the grieving process and how she healed, how Lauren overcame shame and started sharing her story, how she processed complex emotions, the one question she would ask her parents today and much more.

      <title>The #1 Thing You Must Fix If You Want To Manifest Your Dream Life | Britt Frank</title>
      <description>Britt Frank is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. She received her bachelor's from Duke and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Britt is also the author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward This is her second time on the podcast and today we are going to discuss many of the themes of her work but we are also going to chat about Britt’s incredible story. She struggled for more than two decades with relationships, chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and complex PTSD.  After finding her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult), Britt changed careers, went back to graduate school, and became a therapist.

Today on the show we discuss: why you can't manifest what you want if you haven't worked on yourself, how to finally end your negative self talk, why positive affirmations don't always work, the real reason you may be "stuck" and what you can do about it, why small wins are so crucial for changing your life, why Britt feels you need to be aligned to be successful and much more.

      <itunes:summary>Britt Frank is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. She received her bachelor's from Duke and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Britt is also the author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward This is her second time on the podcast and today we are going to discuss many of the themes of her work but we are also going to chat about Britt’s incredible story. She struggled for more than two decades with relationships, chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and complex PTSD.  After finding her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult), Britt changed careers, went back to graduate school, and became a therapist.

Today on the show we discuss: why you can't manifest what you want if you haven't worked on yourself, how to finally end your negative self talk, why positive affirmations don't always work, the real reason you may be "stuck" and what you can do about it, why small wins are so crucial for changing your life, why Britt feels you need to be aligned to be successful and much more.

      <title>65-Year Prison Sentence Survivor: BRUTALLY Honest Truths You Need To Hear Before It's TOO LATE | Damon West</title>
      <description>Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker, 3 x Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former crime boss in Dallas, who was sentenced to Life in prison for Organized Crime. USA Today calls him the “modern day Shawshank Redemption and the most in-demand speaker in America.” At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury and turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress and trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. On parole in Texas until 2073, his story is one of hope, redemption, grit and the resilience of the Human spirit.

Today on the show we discuss: why USA Today has compared Damon's story to "The Shawshank Redemption," how he transformed his mindset inside a maximum security prison, how to escape mental prisons and learn from adversity, daily spiritual and mental practices that changed his life, Damon's powerful story of forgiveness from one of his victims, what he's doing to give back and much more.

      <title>Why One 8-Minute Call Can Change Everything &amp; How To Reinvent Yourself This Year | Sarah Ann Macklin</title>
      <description>Sarah Ann Macklin is one of the few female scientists in the health space, blending scientific rigor with a compassionate lens. She hosts the acclaimed podcast Live Well Be Well—ranked in the top 2% of UK podcasts—where she translates the latest research on nutrition, mindset, and longevity into everyday insights. Sarah Ann believes that health isn’t about perfection—it’s about understanding your body and mind with tools that empower you, not just data that defines you. Having transitioned from an international modelling career to a nutritional scientist, Sarah Ann overcame extreme burnout to champion us to understand the importance of self-kindness in our search for health. Dubbed “the Jamie Oliver of the Modelling Industry” by Marie Claire, she founded the not-for-profit Be Well Collective, impacting thousands through global summits and workshops. Sarah has presented findings at the European Parliament on the link between dietary guidelines and Type 2 diabetes, and returned in 2024 to highlight how mindset drives better health outcomes. Through her TEDx talk “Are Models, Role Models?”, high-profile media contributions, and regular TV appearances, Sarah continues to demystify wellness while advocating for a kinder, more empowering approach to mental, physical, and emotional health.

Today on the show we discuss: the dark side of the modeling industry, the health crisis that massively shifted Sarah's career, how she unlearned self criticism and transformed her relationship with external validation, the dangers of using filters of social media, the 8-minute rule that can change everything, why Sarah's podcast is helping so many people and much more.

      <title>From Olympic Gold To Rock Bottom: How Marion Jones Rebuilt Her Life After Losing It All</title>
      <description>Marion Jones was once celebrated for her athletic achievements and known as the ‘fastest woman on the planet’, and quickly became a household name in the early 2000s, appearing on the covers of Time Magazine, Vogue–as the first black female athlete to ever grace the cover, and Sports Illustrated and securing millions in endorsement deals from major brands including Nike, Gatorade, and “Got Milk”. Though she never tested positive in any drug test, in 2007 Marion eventually confessed that she had lied about taking Performance Enhancing Drugs and was subsequently sentenced to six-months in jail. As a result, she voluntarily chose to return her medals, taking full responsibility for her actions and apologizing to her fans around the world. Since then, Marion has completely reinvented herself and transformed her life. Today, Marion and I dive into it all.  

Today on the show we discuss: how Marion views her career as an Olympic athlete, the darkest moment of her life, why she believes taking performance enhancing drugs didn’t give her that much of an edge, how she has reframed the way she views success, what it was like competing again after nearly two decades, how Marion has turned her mess into her message and much more.

      <itunes:summary>Marion Jones was once celebrated for her athletic achievements and known as the ‘fastest woman on the planet’, and quickly became a household name in the early 2000s, appearing on the covers of Time Magazine, Vogue–as the first black female athlete to ever grace the cover, and Sports Illustrated and securing millions in endorsement deals from major brands including Nike, Gatorade, and “Got Milk”. Though she never tested positive in any drug test, in 2007 Marion eventually confessed that she had lied about taking Performance Enhancing Drugs and was subsequently sentenced to six-months in jail. As a result, she voluntarily chose to return her medals, taking full responsibility for her actions and apologizing to her fans around the world. Since then, Marion has completely reinvented herself and transformed her life. Today, Marion and I dive into it all.  

Today on the show we discuss: how Marion views her career as an Olympic athlete, the darkest moment of her life, why she believes taking performance enhancing drugs didn’t give her that much of an edge, how she has reframed the way she views success, what it was like competing again after nearly two decades, how Marion has turned her mess into her message and much more.

      <title>From Rock Bottom To Rockstar: The Untold Story Of TX2 (Evan Thomas)</title>
      <description>TX2 (Evan Thomas) is a recording artist known for his powerful raw lyrics and explosive performances. After struggling for so many years as an artist, he used his pain as fuel and finally found his sound. As a result, his music went viral on Tik Tok and he now has 500K+ followers on the platform. TX2 has since begun a movement known among his fans that helps raise awareness around mental health and helps to create a safe space for those needing to talk. The movement is currently growing every day, providing a platform to speak about mental health, vent, and support one another. TX2 wants everyone to know they are not alone in their struggles.
Today's conversation is both real and raw we get into everything. We discuss: Evan’s troubled childhood and what the turning point was for changing his life, the biggest thing(s) he has had to work on in order to transform himself, how Evan deals with negativity and criticism, what is often misunderstood about Evan, whether or not he believes he can accomplish things without the chip on his shoulder, the time he felt like he "made it" as an artist and much more.

      <description>David Manheim is the host of the highly popular Dopey podcast. Dopey podcast is the most popular addiction/recovery podcast that exists and has featured guests like Marc Maron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Margaret Cho, Danny Trejo, Jason Biggs and many others.

      <title>The Surgeon General Is Right! – Alcohol Can Harm Your Health &amp; Cause Cancer | Dr. Joe Zundell</title>
      <description>Today's guest is Dr. Joe Zundell. Dr. Zundell is an educator and a well published cancer biologist. His research focuses on the metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms which promote cancers with the intent to provide better treatments in the clinic. Through his expertise in cancer biology, he is highly respected and sought after as an educator and experimentalist. Through his influential presence on social media, Dr. Zundell challenges others to use sufficient evidence and critical thinking skills to separate fact from fiction in modern society. He empowers others to embrace a healthy level of skepticism in asking thoughtful questions on the path to developing lifestyle habits that lead to all around better well-being.
Last week, the Surgeon General gave a warning about the link between alcohol and the risk for developing cancer. This topic has sparked a lot of discussion and people are wondering what it means for them. With that said, I wanted to bring on a cancer expert to tell you everything that you need to know about alcohol and cancer risk. Today on the show we discuss in depth what the Surgeon General said and everything you need to know about alcohol and cancer risk and much more.

      <title>"Dr. Phil Saved My Life!" - A Powerful Story Of Sobriety, Hope &amp; Redemption | Amanda Crossley</title>
      <description>Today's guest is Amanda Crossley. In 2010, Amanda’s life was a complete mess. She and her sisters were heavily addicted to heroin and found themselves stealing from family and doing whatever was needed to maintain their addiction. Eventually, Amanda hit rock bottom and out of desperation wrote a letter to Dr. Phil asking for help. A few years later, she got her chance and told her story in front of millions on the show that thankfully got her sober and saved her life. Today, Amanda is a recovery advocate and uses her platform and story to help give others hope for their transformation.
Today on the show we discuss: how Dr. Phil saved her life from the depths of addiction, the moment Amanda realized she was the problem, how public accountability can be a powerful catalyst for change, the critical role family plays in addiction and recovery, why self-doubt lingers long after sobriety, how Amanda uses her experience to guide others toward healing and hope.

        <![CDATA[<p>Today's guest is Amanda Crossley. In 2010, Amanda’s life was a complete mess. She and her sisters were heavily addicted to heroin and found themselves stealing from family and doing whatever was needed to maintain their addiction.

      <title>"I Quit Instagram With Over 1M Followers!" - This Is What I Learned... | Mark Groves</title>
      <description>Mark Groves is an author, speaker, coach, podcast host and human connection specialist. Earlier this year Mark made a bold move and walked away from his very popular @createthelove instagram account.

Today on the show we discuss: Why Mark walked away from over 1M followers on social media to find himself again, how and when he learned that he had an unhealthy relationship with social media, the impact of social media on mental health and relationships, the physical and emotional cost of overstimulation, the subtle signs that you are addicted to your phone, how social media can distract and disconnect you from yourself, how to use social media constructively and much more.

      <title>"It Only Takes A Few Minutes Per Day" - Use This Simple Protocol To Burn Fat &amp; Improve Your Health! | Ulrich Dempfle  </title>
      <description>Ulrich Dempfle is the CEO &amp; Co-Founder at CAROL Bike and a mechanical engineer. After watching a BBC documentary on Reduced Exertion HIIT (REHIT), Ulrich realized its potential as the most effective cardio workout. The problem? REHIT was only possible in a lab setting. The solution? Ulrich co-founded CAROL and worked with the world’s leading exercise researchers to take REHIT out of the lab. 40 prototypes later, the world’s only REHIT exercise bike was launched.   
Today on the show we discuss: a health marker that is a strong predictor of longevity that you should pay attention to, the surprising benefits of interval training that you might not be aware of, why using the CAROL bike for just a few minutes can help improve cardiovascular fitness and metabolic health, why duration doesn’t equal results when it comes to working out, the science of the CAROL bike and why it’s so effective, how short workouts can create long lasting health benefits and much more.

      <title>Become Unstoppable: The Limitless Power Of An Addiction Free Life | Adam Sud</title>
      <description>In 2012, Adam Sud’s life spiraled out of control. Weighing nearly 350 pounds and grappling with multiple addictions and chronic health conditions. With the unwavering support of his parents and a plant-based diet, Adam lost 175lbs, changed his health and completely reinvented himself. Today, Adam is a recognized expert in insulin resistance, nutrition, addiction, and behavior change. He has collaborated with some of the most respected programs and companies in the health and wellness industry and has contributed multiple papers into the nutrition research literature. Notably, he completed the first research study investigating the effects of a nutrient-dense dietary intervention on early addiction recovery outcomes. 
Today on the show we discuss: the best questions to ask yourself if you want to conquer addiction, the dopamine trap and how your environment can fuel it, Adam’s own compelling transformation story, why practicing “radical honesty” will change your life, how to make living a life of recovery more appealing, the importance of finding meaning and purpose when it comes to overcoming addiction and much more.

      <title>How Sunlight, Lifestyle Changes &amp; Fitness Transformed Guti’s Life</title>
      <description>Today’s guest is Gerardo “Guti” Gutierrez, CEO and founder of MitoLux. After suffering from pre-diabetes, low testosterone, and depression, Guti became an avid reader and researcher in longevity and biohacking. Gerardo discovered the benefits of natural sunlight and fitness, and in just four months completely reinvented himself and changed his life. He started Mitolux to help others do the same.
Today on the show we discuss: the amazing benefits of sunlight and why you may want to consider adding sunlight to your wellness routine; the ins and outs of red and infrared light and their potential therapeutic uses; Guti’s personal experience with battling depression and low testosterone, and what techniques have worked for him to transform his health; why our circadian rhythm and light exposure is so important to your overall health; why Vitamin D and how UV-B supplementation can be helpful to optimize it’s production in the body; practical advice for finding quality products and how to use them in your day to day life; and much more.
Right now, listeners of the Adversity Advantage can get a special discount on Mitolux.

Full disclosure: I have a financial relationship with Mitolux. This doesn’t change the integrity of the episode. The information presented is very valuable and I know you will enjoy it.

      <title>How I Lost Over 140 Pounds, Beat Food Addiction &amp; Transformed My Life | Luke Fernandez</title>
      <description>Luke Fernandez’s story started like many stories do: while growing up in a single-parent household, he always looked for validation while trying to fit in. From a young age, he found comfort in food and, it didn't take long for the weight to pile on. As the numbers on the scale when up, his confidence and motivation went in the opposite direction. Inspired by his wife, he finally made a decision to change and lost over 140 lb and has managed to keep it off for over 12 years. His goal now is to motivate others to transform their lives through fitness so that they don’t have to go through the same trials and tribulations he did.
Today on the show we discuss Luke’s transformation in depth and chat about: what led to him gaining so much weight, how his childhood impacted his mental health, why he chose food to escape his problems, the steps he took to lose over 140 lb., how Luke transformed his mindset and his relationship with himself, a recent mental health scare and how he overcame that and much more.

      <title>The No BS Way To Build Muscle, Melt Belly Fat &amp; Get Lean | Sal Di Stefano</title>
      <description>Today’s guest is Sal Di Stefano. You may know Sal as one of the hosts of the Mind Pump Podcast, a show that exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more. Sal picked up his first weight at the age of 14. Fitness was a way for him to apply hard work and effort towards changing and re-inventing himself. He wanted to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity based industry to a self love and self care health industry. This episode is an absolute MASTERCLASS on all things fat loss and building muscle and you will also hear Sal get extremely vulnerable as he shares a powerful story of why he let guard down and transformed from an atheist to a christian. 
Today on the show we discuss: what people are doing wrong if they are not losing body fat, how to increase your metabolism, how to create a strength training program that will work for 85-90% of people, the best exercises for building muscle and losing fat, whether or not Sal believes supersets are valuable, 2 things you must do if you want to burn fat and build muscle, how Sal recently went from atheist to christian and much more.

      <title>How To Defeat Negative Self Talk, Overcome Imposter Syndrome &amp; Transform Your Life | Emily Abbate</title>
      <description>Emily Abbate is a connector on a mission to empower women to live healthier, happier, and more motivated lives. Now a nine-time marathoner and triathlete, the veteran wellness journalist and former Fitness Editor at SELF Magazine wasn’t always kickstarting her days with runs around Central Park or leading workouts on Good Morning America. Emily went through a dramatic transformation in college, combatting negative self talk by integrating regular movement and healthier eating practices into her regular routine — ultimately losing 70 pounds and gaining a fresh perspective that catapulted her into a career in the health and fitness space. The certified run coach and trainer shares these experiences with her audience on her Hurdle podcast, acclaimed by The New York Times as “addictive,” with more than 9 million downloads to date. Featured in Health, Shape, and Runner’s World, Abbate aims to empower her audience to feel less alone on their own wellness journeys, and does so through important conversations with everyone from elite athletes to top CEOs and founders. 
Today on the show we discuss: what inspired Emily to transform her health after weighing over 200 lb, advice for people that are going through hard times or in the early stages of a transformation, how she learned to be so disciplined after having unhealthy habits for years, how to navigate things like body dysmorphia and imposter syndrome, why fitness has such a ripple effect on transformation, how to overcome negative and nasty self talk and much more.

      <title>From The Streets To Millionaire: The Story Of Derrick Hayes</title>
      <description>Derrick Hayes is the visionary founder and CEO of Big Dave's Cheesesteaks, a culinary success story that began in a humble gas station and has since expanded to multiple locations and franchises across several states. Dubbed the "Colonel Sanders of Cheesesteaks” by Forbes Magazine, Hayes has revolutionized the fast-casual dining landscape with his unique take on the classic Philadelphia sandwich. His entrepreneurial acumen and innovative approach to business have earned him a spot in the prestigious Forbes 1000 list, recognizing his significant impact on the food industry. What makes all of this even more incredible is Derrick’s backstory which we unpack fully on the show today.
Today on the show we discuss: why selling drugs is so attractive in lower income communities, what Derrick was arrested for and why his charges were miraculously dropped, how to escape an environment that you feel trapped in, how Derrick started his multimillion dollar cheesesteak business, how he taught himself the necessary entrepreneurial skills to be successful and build a multimillion dollar business, how Derrick’s darkest moments helped him become ultra successful in business and much more.

      <title>Former #1 Porn Star: The Harsh Truth About Sex, Love, Porn, Dating &amp; OnlyFans | Brittni De La Mora</title>
      <description>Brittni De La Mora is a former adult film star, wife, mother and a leading advocate for helping others recover from porn addiction. At the pinnacle of her career in the adult entertainment industry, Brittni had acquired fame, money, and success by having landed over 250+ roles in film. However, the prominent memories she recalls during this time were also some of the deepest, darkest days of despair, leading her to survive by way of drugs, alcohol, and ultimately, failed attempts of suicide. Through a divine series of events, Brittni began to encounter the love of God, which inevitably led to her making a life changing decision to walk away from the industry overnight. 
Today on the show we discuss: why porn is so addicting and problematic in today’s world, strategies for recovering from porn addiction, why Brittni entered and left the industry, the ups and downs and twists and turns of Brittni’s career, the collateral damage she’s had to deal with, how Brittni learned to finally love herself without relying on external validation, why she remained celibate until she met her husband and much more.

      <title>“Doctors Said I was Dead” - How To Motivate Yourself From Rock Bottom &amp; Transform Your Life | Jamie MoCrazy</title>
      <description>Former Pro Skier Jamie MoCrazy is the first woman to double-flip in a slopestyle ski run and is the epitome of strength, perseverance for all female athletes. In 2015 at World Tour Finals upon landing a trick Jamie caught an edge and whiplashed her head into the snow causing her brain to start bleeding in 8 spots and she immediately went into a natural coma, facing paralysis on her right side. In fact, doctors wrote her time of death in the helicopter on the way to the hospital where doctors informed her family that there was a 0% chance she lived. Miraculously, 10 days later, Jamie woke up to severe memory loss and a loss of ALL motor skills (speaking, walking, eating, etc.). During the relearning process, she was 100% dependent on her family - sister Jeanee and mother Fruit. Their sacrifice, determination, and mindset are why Jamie is who she is today. 
Today on the show we dive deep into Jamie’s compelling story from start to finish. We talk about the ups and downs, the details of her near death experience and what life was like shortly after, how Jamie relearned all of her motor skills, the most painful thing that she’s had to come to terms with, her advice for people that are feeling like they are at a rock bottom in their life, how Jamie challenges herself today and much more.

Kennedy is a former US Congressman and one of the nation’s leading voices on mental illness and addiction policy, and the New York Times bestselling coauthor of A Common Struggle.

      <title>Why Are You Always Stressed? - Shocking Answer You Need To Hear to Reduce Stress, Burnout &amp; Fatigue | Dr. Aditi Nerurkar</title>
      <description>Dr. Aditi Nerurkar is a Harvard physician, television correspondent &amp; speaker. She created a clinical approach to manage stress &amp; burnout after discovering a startling finding in her research: even though stress plays a role in nearly 80% of doctor visits, only 3% of doctors offer stress management. Dr. Nerurkar’s work closes this gap.
Today on the show we discuss: why some people are better than others at managing stress, why resilience can actually be toxic, science backed strategies for reducing stress, how to free yourself from burnout and overwhelm, the type of stress that will wreak havoc on your health, whether or not cold plunges are effective for stress management and much more.

      <title>From Prison to Millionaire - Getting Rich Is Easier Than You Think! | Wallstreet Trapper</title>
      <description>Leon Howard, also known as the Wallstreet Trapper, is a New Orleans native who has become a renowned wealth-building expert. Having grown up on the streets, he knows firsthand the challenges and pitfalls that come with it. During his 10-year prison sentence for involvement in criminal activities, Leon discovered the power of the stock market and was able to change the entire trajectory of his life for the better with it. Through his company, From the Trap to Wallstreet, Leon offers a wide range of resources, including courses, e-books, and access to a private members-only group where he simplifies the process of wealth creation and normalizes generational wealth for the black community through investing in the stock market. With a community of over 1 million Trappers, Leon’s mission is to educate and empower others to take control of their financial futures. He believes that everyone should have access to financial education and is dedicated to breaking down the barriers that prevent people from entering the world of investing and building wealth one share at a time.
Today on the show we discuss: how growing up in a chaotic environment can have a significant impact on a person's mindset and choices, why exposure to different opportunities and role models can make a difference in steering someone away from a life of crime, how financial literacy and investing can provide an alternative path to success and wealth, why changing one's mindset and perspective is crucial for personal growth and transformation, how a change in outlook can lead to a shift in behavior and goals, why seeking therapy and addressing past trauma is crucial for personal growth and healing and much more.

      <title>Why Losing Everything Helps You Find Purpose &amp; How To Learn to Deal With Uncertainty and Loneliness | Brent Underwood</title>
      <description>Brent Underwood is the owner of Cerro Gordo, an original boomtown silver mine, established in 1865. He is also the creator of "GhostTownLiving" where he chronicles his adventures on YouTube. Brent currently lives on the mountain above Death Valley with no running water, seven cats, six goats, and at least one ghost. Cerro Gordo is a desolate ghost town perched high above Death Valley and has seduced thousands since the 1800s, but few fell harder for it than Brent, who moved there in March of 2020. Immediately after moving, he was snowed in and trapped for weeks and he would go on to experience every single natural disaster you can think of. Brent’s inspiring story of betting on himself and living his dream life against all odds has captured millions of followers around the world.
Today on the show we discuss: Why Brent risked his entire life to move to a ghost town, why he picked the most extreme scenario to “find himself,” how he learned to deal with loneliness and uncertainty, A simple mental trick you can use when going through adversity, why losing everything helped Brent find purpose, advice for people who are feeling lost and looking for meaning, how he’s used stoicism to his advantage and much more.

      <title>How To Stop Feeling So Lost, Anxious, Unmotivated &amp; Stressed | Dr. Russell Kennedy</title>
      <description>Dr. Russell Kennedy, aka “The Anxiety MD.” Dr. Kennedy specializes in the art and neuroscience of helping people recover from anxiety disorders. He knows anxiety from the inside out, as he developed his own anxiety disorder due to growing up with a dad with severe schizophrenia. Dr. Kennedy has degrees and advanced training in medicine, neuroscience and developmental psychology —but it’s not all science, as he is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher and was a professional stand-up comedian for over a decade (no joke!) In his award-winning book and audiobook, ANXIETY RX, he shows a practical, actionable program for anxiety relief that incorporates a combination of the latest in neuroscience with the grounding wisdom of the body with the ultimate goal of relieving the anxious thoughts of the mind.
Today on the show we discuss: why so many people are feeling so lost right now and what you can do about it, why thinking actually causes more anxiety, first thing you should in the morning to stay connected to yourself, how to deal with the unknown, tips for alleviating stress/anxiety, why doing activities you did as a kid will make you more successful and much more.

      <title>How To Stop Being A Victim &amp; Completely Reinvent Yourself | Rob Henderson</title>
      <description>Rob Henderson is a psychologist, writer, U.S. Air Force veteran and author of the newly released book “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class” Rob Henderson was born to a drug-addicted mother and a father he never met, ultimately shuttling between ten different foster homes in California. When he was adopted into a loving family, he hoped that life would finally be stable and safe. Divorce, tragedy, poverty, and violence marked his adolescent and teen years, propelling Henderson to join the military upon completing high school. Rob subsequently received a BS from Yale University and a PhD in psychology from St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and more. 
Today on the show we dive deep into Rob’s compelling story from start to finish. We talk about the ups and downs, lessons learned, how he learned to deal with the constant chaos, how he survived his traumatic childhood and made it out alive and transformed his life and more.

      <title>Become More Attractive: The HARSH TRUTH About What Women Desire In A Man... | RC Blakes</title>
      <description>RC Blakes is a husband, a father of four, a grandfather of three and an empowerment speaker. Though he is a pastor, preacher and teacher his approach is conversational. He believes that transformation happens in conversation. He tackles issues and subjects that are sometimes uncomfortable for many leaders to address and maybe even difficult for some people to understand. He is the author of several books, including: Queenology, Imperfectly Holy, Soul-Ties and others. His most popular is entitled The Father Daughter Talk, which is actually more than a book- it is a national movement. RC’s women’s empowerment conferences ( Queenology) are life changing for women who travel from around the nation and abroad. RC has traveled extensively to communicate the principles of: healthy relationships- self-discovery- self-love, faith in God- and success in life. 

Today on the show we discuss: What do women really desire in a man, Why are men having such a hard time attracting women, How to become more attractive to a potential partner, How to not lose a woman that you’re interested in, How does a woman like to pursued, Why guys should stop being so "nice," the 3 biggest red flags that you should never ignore and much more.

      <title>How To Motivate Yourself From Rock Bottom, Develop Mental Strength &amp; Reinvent Yourself | Travis Mills</title>
      <description>Travis Mills is a Retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne is a recalibrated warrior, motivational speaker, actor, author and advocate for veterans and amputees. On April 10, 2012, Mills was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan by an IED (improvised explosive device) while on patrol, losing portions of both legs and both arms. He became one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries. He recovered in 19 months while at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. In September 2013, Mills and his wife Kelsey founded the Travis Mills Foundation, a nonprofit organization formed to benefit and assist post 9/11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation. The veteran and their families receive an all-inclusive, all-expenses paid, barrier-free vacation to Maine where they participate in adaptive activities, bond with other veteran families, and enjoy much-needed rest and relaxation in Maine’s great outdoors. 
Today on the show we discuss: Travis’s life changing injury and how he turned pain into purpose, what parenting and marriage has been like for him since losing his limbs, his message to people that are feeling lost and in the depths of despair, how he found small wins and rebuilt his self confidence, why anyone can overcome the biggest adversities in their life if they don’t give up, how to develop mental strength and deal with ruminating thoughts, how Travis reinvented himself and reshaped his identity and much more.

      <title>The Best Way To Build Muscle &amp; Burn Fat Without Losing Your Mind | Marcus Filly</title>
      <description>Marcus Filly is the founder of Functional Bodybuilding. After leaving medical school, he turned instead to health and fitness to help people more directly with training and nutrition in their day to day lives. Drawing on an extensive training background in soccer and his competitive Crossfit career, Marcus owned an affiliate CrossFit gym for years before changing methodologies to help athletes better succeed through individual coaching. After the 2016 CrossFit Games, he was burned out and broken, and about to become a first time father. Functional Bodybuilding was born out of a need to train more for longevity and sustainability – while still looking good and moving well.

Today on the show we discuss: how to stay fit without sacrificing your family, an overlooked but effective way to build muscle, why going to the gym doesn’t necessary make you “active,” how to lose body fat and keep it off for good, why eating clean is misleading, the power of a “5 ingredient meal,” why CrossFit can be dangerous and much more.

      <itunes:summary>Marcus Filly is the founder of Functional Bodybuilding. After leaving medical school, he turned instead to health and fitness to help people more directly with training and nutrition in their day to day lives. Drawing on an extensive training background in soccer and his competitive Crossfit career, Marcus owned an affiliate CrossFit gym for years before changing methodologies to help athletes better succeed through individual coaching. After the 2016 CrossFit Games, he was burned out and broken, and about to become a first time father. Functional Bodybuilding was born out of a need to train more for longevity and sustainability – while still looking good and moving well.

Today on the show we discuss: how to stay fit without sacrificing your family, an overlooked but effective way to build muscle, why going to the gym doesn’t necessary make you “active,” how to lose body fat and keep it off for good, why eating clean is misleading, the power of a “5 ingredient meal,” why CrossFit can be dangerous and much more.

      <title>CANNABIS SERIES | Ben Cort: Why People Are Going to Rehab For Cannabis &amp; How It’s Become Dangerous Over The Years | Ben Cort</title>
      <description>Ben Cort has been sober since 1996 and has been part of the recovery movement in almost every way imaginable; from a recipient to a provider to a spokesperson. He joined the field professionally in 2007 working inside of nonprofits, treatment programs and consulting to athletics and organized labor. Highlighted in his book, Weed, Inc.: The Truth About the Pot Lobby, THC, and the Commercial Marijuana Industry, and his TED talk “Surprising Truths about Legalizing Cannabis” Ben has remained active in the discussion around marijuana, assisting several states efforts to hold back Big Marijuana and always advocating for recovery. His reputation as being pro-logic and recovery oriented rather than anti anything, and his widely adopted curriculum on ethical treatment and practices has garnered national recognition. He is utilized by the likes of NFL, and NCAA programs to determine appropriate treatment for their athletes, coaches and their families as well as develop recovery oriented policies.
Today on the show we discuss: Why Ben has been advocating against legalization of marijuana, why parents should be taking cannabis seriously, why more people are going to rehab for cannabis addiction, steps parents can take if their kid is struggling with cannabis addiction, what Ben would do if he was in charge of changing things, why cannabis is destroying peoples lives and more.

      <title>CANNABIS SERIES | Dr. Yasmin Hurd: How It Changes Your Brain &amp; Why It Makes You More Stressed</title>
      <description>Dr. Yasmin Hurd is the Director of the Addiction Institute within the Mount Sinai Behavioral Health System as well as the Ward Coleman Chair of Translational Neuroscience and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Dr. Hurd is an internationally renowned neuroscientist whose translational research examines the neurobiology of drug abuse and related psychiatric disorders. Her research exploring the neurobiological effects of cannabis and heroin has significantly shaped the field. Using multidisciplinary research approaches, her research has provided unique insights into the impact of developmental cannabis exposure and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the drug’s protracted effects into adulthood and even across generations. Dr. Hurd’s basic science research is complemented by clinical laboratory investigations evaluating the therapeutic potential of novel science-based strategies for the treatment of opioid addiction and related psychiatric disorders including pioneering work with cannabidiol.
Today on the show we discuss: how cannabis changes the brain, why it messes with your ability to manage stress, why cannabis is more dangerous today, what must happen to prevent kids from abusing cannabis, what cannabis does to mental health, whether or not it’s a gateway drug, how recover from cannabis addiction and more.

      <title>CANNABIS SERIES | Dr. Richard Miech: What Does The Research Say About Kids and Cannabis Use? </title>
      <description>Dr. Richard Miech is a co-Investigator of the NIDA-funded Monitoring the Future study. He received his Ph.D. degree in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a MPH degree from Johns Hopkins University. His work focuses on trends in substance use, with an emphasis on disentangling how these trends vary by age, historical period, and birth cohort membership.
Since 1975 the MTF survey has measured drug and alcohol use and related attitudes among adolescent students nationwide. A nationally representative sample of survey participants report their drug use behaviors across three time periods: lifetime, past year, and past month. The survey is funded by the NIDA, a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and conducted by the University of Michigan.

Today’s episode is going to be an in depth look at what the Monitoring The Future Study says regarding the trends in teenage and adolescent cannabis use, including usage patterns, perception of risk and more. We also chat about the biggest risk factors associated with cannabis use, Dr. Miech’s top findings from the study, the role nicotine plays in all of this and much more.

      <title>CANNABIS SERIES | Dr. Anna Lembke: Addiction, Dopamine, Anxiety &amp; Is It A Gateway Drug?</title>
      <description>Dr. Anna Lembke is chief of the Stanford medicine, dual diagnosis clinic, and professor and medical director of addiction medicine at Stanford university's school of medicine. Dr. Lembke has testified before Congress and consulted with governors and senators from Kentucky to Missouri to Nevada. You may also recognize her from her appearance on the hit Netflix movie, “The Social Dilemma.” Aside from this. Anna has also written two books, “Drug Dealer MD,” and her latest book, the New York times bestseller “Dopamine Nation.”
Today on the show we discuss: Whether or not Dr. Lembke believes cannabis is a gateway drug, why cannabis is not a reliable solution for anxiety, how cannabis interacts with dopamine, why cannabis is both physically and psychologically addictive, how to deal with the withdrawals from quitting cannabis and why abstaining from it will make your life much better and more.

      <title>How to Remain Optimistic &amp; Hopeful When It Feels Like The World Is Against You | Amanda Kloots</title>
      <description>Amanda Kloots is an actor, co-host of CBS’s The Talk, NYT Best Selling author, and a survivor. Tragically, during the pandemic, Amanda lost her husband Nick, leaving her heartbroken and in the depths of despair. Refusing to let that situation define her and determined to create the best life for her son moving forward, Amanda embraced the grieving process, turning those trials into triumphs while maintaining her optimism and hopefulness. Amanda’s positivity and zest for life are contagious, as you will see in this conversation

Today on the show we discuss: How Amanda remained optimistic and pulled herself out of a dark place when life was incredibly unfair, why staying positive is a choice, how her relationship with her son has changed after losing Nick, whether or not Nick’s death changed her relationship with God, Amanda’s advice for people going through really hard times, why losing Nick taught her how to live and much more.

      <title>Master Change: Practical Tips To Help You Make the Most Of Your Greatest Challenges | Brad Stulberg</title>
      <description>Brad Stulberg researches, writes, and coaches on health, well-being, and sustainable excellence. He is the bestselling author of The Practice of Groundedness and co-author of "Peak Performance." Stulberg regularly contributes to the New York Times, and his work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and the Atlantic, among many other publications. He is on faculty at the University of Michigan’s graduate School of Public Health. In his coaching practice, he works with executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and athletes.

Today on the show we discuss: What have we gotten wrong about the idea of “change”, What are the 4 P’s after a big change, the definition “rugged flexibility” and why it’s necessary to get through change, the difference between real fatigue and fake fatigue, the most important things you must to do overcome a negative change in your life, what behavioral activation means and why it’s crucial for getting out of despair and more.

      <title>Aliens, Extraterrestrial Life, AI, UFO’s &amp; The First Interstellar Meteor | Avi Loeb</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/aliens-extraterrestrial-life-ai-the-first-interstellar-meteor-avi-loeb</link>
      <description>Avi Loeb is the Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science at Harvard University, the longest-serving chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, founding director of Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative, and director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He also chairs the Advisory Committee for the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, and serves as the science theory director for all Initiatives of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, as well as former chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. Author of eight books and over a thousand scientific papers, Loeb is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts &amp; Sciences, the American Physical Society, and the International Academy of Astronautics. In 2012, Time selected Loeb as one of the twenty-five most influential people in space.
  
 Today on the show we discuss: why he thinks extra terrestrial life exists that can interact with humans, Avi’s recent expedition to the Pacific Ocean to find what he believes is the first interstellar meteor, how he envisions a future interaction with extra terrestrial life, why AI might play a pivotal role in communicating with extra terrestrial life, whether or not Avi thinks life on Mars exists, how the average person can spot extra terrestrial life and much more.

      <title>Founding Drummer of Maroon 5 On Losing Everything, Finding Recovery &amp; Rebuilding His Life w/ Ryan Dusick</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/founding-drummer-of-maroon-5-on-losing-everything-finding-recovery-rebuilding-his-life-w-ryan-dusick</link>
      <description>Ryan Dusick is an associate marriage therapist and counselor and the founding drummer of one of the world’s most popular bands, Maroon 5. He started the band which was originally called Kara’s Flowers in 1994 with his best friends Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael and Mickey Madden. After changing the name of the band to Maroon 5, they went on to have their first viral record “Songs About Jane,” selling millions of albums and winning two Grammy’s. Despite the band’s massive fame and success Ryan was suffering with some deep physical and emotional pain which eventually led to Ryan parting ways with the band in 2006. Ryan lost everything, found himself in the depths of addiction before finding recovery in 2016 and completely reinventing himself and we dive into all of this today.
 Today on the show we discuss: The story of starting Maroon 5 and what led to Ryan parting ways with the band, what life was like after losing everything, the challenges of success and fame, what his current relationship is like with Adam Levine, how Ryan reinvented himself and got sober, why he values recovery more than winning a grammy and more.

      <title>Michael Oher On “The Blind Side,” Remaining Optimistic During Adversity &amp; Overcoming The Victim Mentality</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/michael-oher-on-the-blind-side-remaining-optimistic-during-adversity-destroying-the-victim-mindset</link>
      <description>Michael Oher is a former American football offensive tackle who played in the National Football League for eight seasons, primarily with the Baltimore Ravens. He is perhaps best known as the subject of Michael Lewis’s bestselling book The Blind Side. He is the founder of the Oher Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to empowering kids to break the cycle of poverty and achieve their dreams through opportunities in education.
 Today on the show we discuss: Michael’s story and his thoughts on the movie “The Blind Side,” how he conquered the victim mindset and remained optimistic during adversity, how he avoided temptation as a kid and stayed out of trouble, why cutting ties with bad friends is so important, the biggest lessons Michael has learned from everything he’s overcome and much more.

Stacy is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford and others focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Dr. Sims has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those by USOC and USA Cycling.
  
 Today on the show we discuss: why women are not “small men,” how to know if your hormones are causing health issues, the signs of early menopause, how to optimize your health and hormones during the pre, peri and post menopausal stages, why women need more carbohydrates, how to customize your diet and exercise choices based on your age and hormonal needs, why you may want to think twice about intermittent fasting and much more.

      <title>RC Blakes On Why A Woman Must Never Pursue A Man &amp; What She Should Do Instead</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/rc-blakes-on-why-a-woman-must-never-pursue-a-man-what-she-should-do-instead</link>
      <description>Today's guest is pastor R.C. Blakes. RC is a husband, a father of four, a grandfather of three and an empowerment speaker. Though he is a pastor, preacher and teacher his approach is conversational. He believes that transformation happens in conversation. He tackles issues and subjects that are sometimes uncomfortable for many leaders to address and maybe even difficult for some people to understand. He is the author of several books, including: Queenology, Imperfectly Holy, Soul-Ties and others. His most popular is entitled The Father Daughter Talk, which is actually more than a book- it is a national movement. RC’s women’s empowerment conferences ( Queenology) are life changing for women who travel from around the nation and abroad. RC has traveled extensively to communicate the principles of: healthy relationships- self-discovery- self-love, faith in God- and success in life.
  
 Today on the show we discuss: The three biggest relationship and dating mistakes people are making, qualities that are often overlooked but matter when choosing a partner, what healthy masculine and feminine energy looks like, why a woman should never pursue a man, how to know if you’re compatible with someone, why the word “submission” is often misunderstood, how to make a relationship last a lifetime and more.

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/alan-aragon-sets-the-record-straight-on-nutrition-research-common-wellness-myths-how-physical-health-dictates-mental-health</link>
      <description>Today's guest and returning back to the podcast is Alan Aragon. Alan is a nutrition researcher and educator with over 30 years of success in the field. He is known as one of the most influential figures in the fitness industry's movement towards evidence-based information. His notable clients include Stone called Steve Austin, Derek Fisher, and Pete Sampras. Alan writes a monthly research review providing cutting edge theoretical and practical information. Alan's work has been published in popular magazines and has also been published in peer-reviewed scientific literature. He co-authored Nutrient Timing Revisited the Most Viewed article in the history of the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
  
 Today we discuss: how mental health and physical health are closely related. Why food doesn't necessarily cause inflammation, what foods you can eat to improve your mood. The truth about industry funded research, current wellness trends that Alan thinks are overrated. What to look for when choosing to follow someone online, what type of exercise is best for your mental health and much more.

      <itunes:summary>Today's guest and returning back to the podcast is Alan Aragon. Alan is a nutrition researcher and educator with over 30 years of success in the field. He is known as one of the most influential figures in the fitness industry's movement towards evidence-based information. His notable clients include Stone called Steve Austin, Derek Fisher, and Pete Sampras. Alan writes a monthly research review providing cutting edge theoretical and practical information. Alan's work has been published in popular magazines and has also been published in peer-reviewed scientific literature.

 Today we discuss: how mental health and physical health are closely related. Why food doesn't necessarily cause inflammation, what foods you can eat to improve your mood. The truth about industry funded research, current wellness trends that Alan thinks are overrated. What to look for when choosing to follow someone online, what type of exercise is best for your mental health and much more.

      <title>From “Lose Weight or Die” To Running Marathons: The Inspiring Story of Martinus Evans</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-lose-weight-or-die-to-running-marathons-the-inspiring-story-of-martinus-evans</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Martinus Evans. Martinus has run eight marathons since his doctor told him to “lose weight or die” in July 2012. Since then, he’s also coached hundreds of runners and been featured in The New York Times, Men’s Health, The Wall Street Journal, Runner’s World, New York Post, LADbible, HuffPost, Magnolia, and U.S. News &amp; World Report. Martinus is the Founder and CEO of the Slow AF Run Club, a community of over 10,000 members worldwide. When he’s not running races around the world, he enjoys speaking passionately about issues related to size-inclusivity, mindset, DEI, and mental health.
  
 We discuss: how being told to “lose weight or die” fueled his anger to transform his life, how he went from running 15 seconds on a treadmill to running multiple marathons, why you can be both overweight and healthy, how using an alter ego helped Martinus destroy self-doubt, how he overcame early challenges and kept going when things got tough, how sports and tragedy kept Martinus away from selling drugs as a kid and much more.
     
 What to Listen For:
  00:00 Intro
 00:30 “Lose weight or die”
 05:08 Fueled by anger and rage
 07:42 Was this the first time he tried to get fit?
 09:55 Running his first 5k 
 11:21 Mistreated by other runners
 14:21 Did he experience challenges early on?
 19:11 Everyone should be physically active
 21:52 You can be overweight and HEALTHY
 24:38 Having a plan and building community 
 26:39 Falling in love with the process
 29:27 Discipline builds motivation 
 31:42 Why he doesn’t want to win races
 33:39 Running his first marathon
 37:20 Being heckled at mile 19
 40:30 It’s you vs. your mind vs. everyone else
 43:55 What’s his diet like?
 47:31 How often does he get bloodwork done?
 49:47 How did Martinus avoid selling drugs as a kid?

      <title>From Addicted to Dope to Building the Dopey Empire: The Untold Story of Dave Manheim and the Dopey Nation</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-addicted-to-dope-to-building-the-dopey-empire-the-untold-story-of-dave-manheim-and-the-dopey-nation</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is David Manheim from the Dopey Podcast. Dopey podcast is the most popular addiction/recovery podcast that exists and has featured guests like Marc Maron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Margaret Cho, Danny Trejo, Jason Biggs and many others. Dopey was created by Dave and his cohost Chris in 2016, they met in rehab in Connecticut in 2011. Chris tragically died in July of 2018, relapsing and overdosing on cocaine and fentanyl. Dave never stopped making the show and continues on to push the Dopey message as far as it possibly can go. 
  
 Today we discuss: Dave’s very entertaining and inspiring story, how addiction destroyed his career in show business before finding sobriety and starting Dopey, how loneliness and discomfort led to his addiction to drugs, what kept Dave going after the tragic death of his cohost Chris, how Dave finally found recovery after battling addiction for two decades, what he believes you must do to recover from addiction and much more.

      <title>Lauren Hubert On How To Lose Weight The Right Way (Without Losing Your Mind)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/lauren</link>
      <description>​​Today's guest is Lauren Hubert MS, RD. Lauren is the Registered Dietitian and weight loss expert behind the brand The Sorority Nutritionist (TSN) where she helps women learn how to eat for sustainable fat loss. In a world where fad diets and contradicting information on the Internet is always making us believe we need to be restrictive and miserable to lose weight, TSN is disrupting the weight loss space by teaching women how to eat and approach weight loss with a simple, flexible and actually enjoyable approach. In this episode we talk about why you don’t need to go “low carb” to lose weight, why most people underestimate how much they actually eat, how to build healthy eating habits that last, how to prevent self-sabotage after messing up on your diet, how to effectively track your progress, non negotiables for weight loss and more.

      <title>From Homeless Heroin Addict to Millionaire: The Story of Khalil Rafati</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-homeless-heroin-addict-to-millionaire-the-story-of-khalil-rafati</link>
      <description>​​Today's guest is Khalil Rafati, the founder of the renowned smoothie bar and juice chain Sunlife Organics. He possesses one of the most insane and inspiring recovery stories I have ever encountered. In Khalil's darkest moments, he found himself hopeless and homeless on Skid Row in LA. Miraculously, he managed to crawl his way out of that difficult situation, seek treatment, and ultimately find sobriety. Through the relentless pursuit of personal growth, finding purpose, and self-discovery, Khalil has attained nearly two decades of sobriety and is living the life of his dreams. However, his recovery journey has not always been easy, marked by numerous ups and downs that we delve into deeply today. We explore Khalil's gripping story, tracing his path from homelessness on Skid Row to achieving long-term sobriety. We also dive into the challenges of early sobriety and how Khalil's responsibility of caring for his dying mother provided the necessary focus for his recovery. Khalil shares why he believes being an addict is a superpower and credits it for his ability to build the empire of Sunlife Organics without any formal education or experience. Furthermore, we discuss his healing journey, including how he transformed his relationship with external validation and fame and much more!

      <title>Chase Chewning On Processing His Father's Death, Healing Deep-Rooted Trauma &amp; Transforming Grief Into Gratitude</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/chase-chewning-on-processing-his-fathers-death-healing-deep-rooted-trauma-finding-gratitude-for-his-painful-past</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Chase Chewning. Chase is an Army Veteran, he’s a health coach and the host of the wildly popular podcast, Ever Forward Radio. Before going from health coach to podcaster, Chase served in the military and after six years of active duty, he was medically discharged due a string of injuries that ultimately required him to have bilateral reconstructive hip surgeries. After learning how to walk again, exercise as medicine, making healthy lifestyle modifications and helping others do the same became his passion. In today's conversation, we dive deep into Chase’s story and chat about how the loss of his father during his time in the Army led to a path of self-sabotage, causing emotional pain and physical injuries that ultimately forced him to retire from the military. We also discuss how he transformed his mental health and dealt with his suppressed, deep-rooted trauma. Chase also opens up about his struggles with male friendships and the recent discovery of his true self. A major theme of today’s convo revolves around how he's turned his gratitude for his past experiences into a career of helping others transform their bodies and minds, inspiring them to live a life ever forward. 
     
 What to Listen For:
  00:00 Intro
 01:51 Prioritizing his mental health
 04:44 Chase hits an emotional rock bottom
 10:53 The death of his father 
 15:42 Chase gets medically discharged from military 
 19:19 Dealing with anger
 25:05 Gratitude for the past
 28:32 Rebuilding his life &amp; becoming a health coach
 33:38 Processing his pain and trauma
 38:23 Why does Chase struggle with male friendships? 
 45:06 You must be able to get vulnerable with YOURSELF 
 46:50 Chase’s identity crisis  
 51:05 A deeper level of healing   
 55:05 Living a life ever forward

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/shannon-ford-on-overcoming-public-failure-breaking-free-from-people-pleasing-becoming-her-authentic-self</link>
      <description>Today's guest is the highly successful and dynamic social media star, Shannon Ford! You may remember Shannon as one of the personalities on the hit TV show, 'Very Cavallari,' where she worked as the social media manager for fashion company Uncommon James. Despite appearing on the show for roughly one season, Shannon was able to leverage her time on camera into a thriving career and prove that a massive setback can lead to an even better comeback. In this episode, we discuss the power of public setbacks, the hustler's mentality Shannon developed from living in a trailer as a kid, how to break free from people pleasing, why people will know if you're being "fake", and how she stays consistent, motivated and focused while building her business and much more!

 01:36 Getting fired on national television
 03:58 Handling failure  
 08:18 Living in a trailer 
 10:58 Developing a “hustler's mentality”
 12:30 The dark side of fame
 15:30 Paying attention to what others think
 17:15 People pleasing and boundaries 
 20:49 Recent big area of growth for Shannon
 22:43 Staying focused/avoiding distractions
 26:27 Has she always been secure with herself?
 28:57 Being fake is exhausting
 35:36 Does Shannon have trust issues?

Lindsey and I also talk about the many blessings that sobriety has given her and how she has learned to manage her emotions, develop self-awareness and create a new identity. We also talk about what you must do to thrive in recovery, how to survive a breakup and much more!

      <title>Mallory Ervin On Manifesting The Future What You Want, Surviving The Parenting Rollercoaster &amp; Navigating Difficult Conversations As a Couple</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/mallory-ervin-on-manifesting-the-future-you-want-tips-for-having-difficult-conversations-with-your-partner-how-to-survive-the-rollercoaster-of-parenting</link>
      <description>Today's guest and making her second appearance on the podcast, is my friend, Mallory Ervin. Mallory is a Kentucky-grown Nashville living dreamer who had a roundabout way of arriving at where she is today. From her time in the Miss America pageant to being a three-time contestant on the Amazing Race, Mallory turned her passion for sharing her love of fashion, beauty, and life into a platform for impact. Today, she runs a global lifestyle brand that she founded in 2016, hosts the Living fully podcast and is a best-selling author of books "Living Fully Dare to Step Into Your Most Vibrant Life," and "All In: A Vision for Living Fully Every Day." She encourages and inspires her dedicated following to seek joy and live fully. Today we discuss being attached to achievement and how to remain optimistic when you fall short of your goals. Mallory and I also chat about common misconceptions about manifestation, how to manifest what you want in life, and what you can do if you're feeling overwhelmed. We also get into how to survive the rollercoaster ride of parenting, navigating difficult times as a couple, and much more.

      <title>Autumn Smith On Healing Your Gut, How to Effectively Improve Your Diet &amp; The Truth About Grass-Fed Meat</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/autumn-smith-on-healing-your-gut-how-to-effectively-improve-your-diet-the-truth-about-grass-fed-meat</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Autumn Smith. Autumn is the co-founder of Paleovalley and Wild Pastures. She holds a Masters in Holistic Nutrition, she’s a Certified Eating Psychology Coach, and a Certified FDN Practitioner. Autumn’s passion for health began with her own struggles with IBS and anxiety: despite a career as a professional dancer and celebrity fitness trainer, her own health was in shambles. Desperate for a cure, Autumn and her husband Chas stumbled upon the paleo diet in 2011 and within a month of beginning it, her health was completely transformed. In today’s episode, Autumn shares her personal story and reveals how being bullied during her childhood and having unhealthy eating habits fueled her struggles with IBS, addiction, and anxiety, leading to her being kicked out of her house when she was eighteen. She shares the steps she took to completely transform her life, heal from her past and unlearn toxic patterns. Autumn shares how working for Tracy Anderson as a celebrity trainer and touring with Jennifer Lopez inspired her to start Paleovalley. We also discuss the highly debated topic of regenerative farming and which animal products you should try to buy grass-fed. We also chat about how to realistically make healthier food choices, parenting tips for kids to do the same, and much more!

      <itunes:summary>Today’s guest is Autumn Smith. Autumn is the co-founder of Paleovalley and Wild Pastures. She holds a Masters in Holistic Nutrition, she’s a Certified Eating Psychology Coach, and a Certified FDN Practitioner. Autumn’s passion for health began with her own struggles with IBS and anxiety: despite a career as a professional dancer and celebrity fitness trainer, her own health was in shambles. Desperate for a cure, Autumn and her husband Chas stumbled upon the paleo diet in 2011 and within a month of beginning it, her health was completely transformed. In today’s episode, Autumn shares her personal story and reveals how being bullied during her childhood and having unhealthy eating habits fueled her struggles with IBS, addiction, and anxiety, leading to her being kicked out of her house when she was eighteen. She shares the steps she took to completely transform her life, heal from her past and unlearn toxic patterns. Autumn shares how working for Tracy Anderson as a celebrity trainer and touring with Jennifer Lopez inspired her to start Paleovalley. We also discuss the highly debated topic of regenerative farming and which animal products you should try to buy grass-fed. We also chat about how to realistically make healthier food choices, parenting tips for kids to do the same, and much more!

      <title>Organic Olivia On Reshaping Relationships, Controlling Dopamine &amp; Why She Avoids Wellness Trends</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/organic-olivia-on-reshaping-relationships-controlling-dopamine-why-she-turned-her-back-on-wellness-trends</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Olivia Amitrano (Organic Olivia). Olivia is an herbalist, an entrepreneur, a blogger, and most notably an educator. You may recognize her as the founder and formulator behind Organic Olivia the brand or perhaps you’ve heard her voice as the host of the chart-topping podcast, "What’s the Juice." Organic Olivia started as a blog and quickly morphed into a fierce community of like minds on a divine path of learning, growing, and healing. We believe our greatest tools are traditional wisdom, herbal medicine and a brave willingness to explore our own behavior and psychology. Olivia is on a mission to understand the human condition while sharing both the present chapter of her life as well as the lessons she’s learned getting here. Peeling back the layers isn’t always pretty, but life is juicy and it’s worth the squeeze. 
  
 In today’s episode, we take a deep dive into Olivia’s story. We discuss how her parents getting sick and a spiritual experience transformed her relationship with herself, her fiancé and her family. We also discuss how constructive criticism has been instrumental in her healing journey, why changing your identity is so powerful when it comes to change, why she turned her back on wellness trends, how she changed her relationship with dopamine, overcame multiple addictions, and much more.
  
  
  
 What to Listen For:
  
  00:00 Intro
 02:10 Olivia’s parents are hospitalized (this changed her life)
 05:45 The year of personal responsibility 
 08:20 Understanding her childhood trauma
 09:29 Studying psychology in college
 11:20 Letting go of anger
 13:25 How taking psilocybin transformed her life
 17:25 The power of intentional “alone time” 
 20:30 How to receive constructive criticism
 23:50 Olivia’s relationship with dopamine and addiction
 29:55 Quitting cannabis, caffeine and hyperpalatable foods
 36:15 How does she regulate her nervous system?
 40:30 Understanding addiction

 50:10 Turning her back on wellness trends

      <description>Today’s guest is Dr. Russell Kennedy, aka “The Anxiety MD.” Dr. Kennedy specializes in the art and neuroscience of helping people recover from anxiety disorders. He knows anxiety from the inside out, as he developed his own anxiety disorder as a result of growing up with a dad with severe schizophrenia. Dr. Kennedy has degrees and advanced training in medicine, neuroscience and developmental psychology —but it’s not all science, as he is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher and was a professional stand-up comedian for over a decade (no joke!) In his award-winning book and audiobook, ANXIETY RX, he shows a practical, actionable program for anxiety relief that incorporates a combination of the latest in neuroscience with the grounding wisdom of the body with the ultimate goal of relieving the anxious thoughts of the mind. 
  
 Today we discuss how to understand and heal your relationship with anxiety, how to discover where your anxiety comes from, common mistakes people make when trying to reduce their anxiety, the difference between stress and anxiety, how to regulate your nervous system in the moment as well as ways to reduce your anxiety long term and much more.

      <title>Rachel Scheer On Transforming Her Unhealthy Relationships With Health, Fitness and External Validation</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/rachel-scheer</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Rachel Scheer. Rachel is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist who received her degree from Baylor University in Nutrition Science and Dietetics and became certified in functional medicine through the Kalish Institute. Rachel’s journey as a nutritionist began in bodybuilding and athletic performance, however, a couple years into her practice she began to suffer from severe gastrointestinal dysfunction (IBS.) After many false diagnoses, spending thousands of dollars on doctor visits and tests, and one doctor even suggesting the removal of her entire large intestine, Rachel decided to take her health into her own hands by taking a gut-centric approach to her healing. By learning how to "heal, instead of just deal" Rachel was able to avoid having her entire large intestine removed, come off the dozens of medications she was put on over the years and regain full-function of her gut.
  
 Prior to transforming her health, Rachel was addicted to fitness, external validation, and achievement and struggled with her self-worth. This led to her developing an unhealthy relationship with working out, food, and body image. In today's episode, we unpack Rachel's incredible story from start to finish and she reveals how she completely transformed her life and her relationship with health and fitness. We also chat about Rachel's childhood, how that led to some of her struggles, how she has healed from that, and more!  some of her struggles, how she has healed from that, and more!  
  
  
 What to Listen For:
  00:00 Intro
 02:00 How to transform your relationship with your body (3 tips)
 08:21 When (&amp; why) did her relationship with fitness become unhealthy?
 14:29 Which was more addictive: external validation or getting leaner? 
 16:41 Rachel’s unhealthy relationship with food
 20:20 Hitting rock bottom

      <description>Today's guest is Ashlie Molstad. Ashlie is one of the most successful Beachbody coaches of all time, having earned the prestigious top coach award two years in a row. This achievement was no small feat, given that there are hundreds of thousands of coaches. Ashlie is also a life coach and host of the "Insource" podcast. In this episode, we discuss Ashlie's rise to success in a competitive industry and how that same rise to success also led to addictions to things like achievement and external validation. We discuss how these addictions led to her swimming in a river of "misery" and how she bounced back. We also chat about her struggles with her mental health and not liking herself, how to overcome the opinions of others, why she is reevaluating her relationship with alcohol and so much more. 
  
  
 What to Listen For:
  00:00 Intro
 02:00 Addiction to achievement
 07:00 Has Ashlie always been into personal development?
 09:30 What made her expand her business?
 14:00 Helping others pulled her out of a dark place
 18:35 Why did Ashlie hate herself?
 22:20 External validation doesn’t build confidence
 26:15 Reevalutating her relationship with alcohol
 30:00 Dealing with online criticism
 39:00 You don’t need a morning routine to be successful
 44:30 Overcoming the opinions of others
 49:50 Does she still make money from Beachbody?
 52:20 Change your thoughts not your circumstances
 56:30 Dealing with her “inner bully”

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/vanessa-xander-marin-on-building-a-strong-emotional-connection-with-your-partner-what-to-do-when-the-spark-is-gone-in-your-relationship</link>
      <description>Today’s guests are Vanessa and Xander Marin. Vanessa is a licensed psychotherapist and has spent over 20 years as a sex therapist. She has bachelor’s degrees in human sexuality and sociology from Brown University and a master’s degree in counseling psychology. Xander is a regular dude who left a cushy career in tech once he realized it was more fun to talk about sex with his wife all day. He’s here to show you that you don’t need a graduate degree or a license to have extraordinary communication skills. Vanessa and Xander also host the highly popular Pillow Talks podcast where they share the ups and downs in their relationship while giving you step-by-step techniques for improving yours. In this episode we discuss how to maintain emotional connection during your relationship, how to get the “spark back” if you are feeling disconnected from your partner, the relationship between physical and emotional intimacy, how to improve your sex life with your partner, why gratitude is so effective for rebuilding relationships, how to know if you’re relationship is stale and much more. While this episode covers some mature content, it’s intended for educational purposes and to help you improve the relationship with yourself and/or your partner.

      <title>Britt Frank On How to Successfully Transform Your Life &amp; Why No One is Coming to Save You</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/britt-frank-on-how-to-successfully-transform-your-life-why-no-one-is-coming-to-save-you</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Britt Frank. Britt is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. She received her bachelor's from Duke and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Britt is also the author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward This is her second time on the podcast and today we are going to discuss many of the themes of her work but we are also going to chat about Britt’s incredible story. She struggled for more than two decades with relationships, chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and complex PTSD.  After finding her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult), Britt changed careers, went back to graduate school, and became a therapist.
  
 In this episode, she shares her incredible journey and how she completely transformed all aspects of her life. We also chat about why taking micro-steps leads to big changes if you’re trying to become unstuck, how to effectively reduce anxiety when you’re feeling overwhelmed, why external validation cannot save you, how to transform the way you speak to yourself, why trying to heal your past and forgive others keeps you stuck, how to improve the way you set and achieve goals and so much more.

      <itunes:summary>Today’s guest is Britt Frank. Britt is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. She received her bachelor's from Duke and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Britt is also the author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward This is her second time on the podcast and today we are going to discuss many of the themes of her work but we are also going to chat about Britt’s incredible story.

We also chat about why taking micro-steps leads to big changes if you’re trying to become unstuck, how to effectively reduce anxiety when you’re feeling overwhelmed, why external validation cannot save you, how to transform the way you speak to yourself, why trying to heal your past and forgive others keeps you stuck, how to improve the way you set and achieve goals and so much more.

      <title>Brad Jensen Was Homeless For Nearly ONE YEAR and THIS Is How He Found Sobriety And Transformed His Life</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/brad-jensen</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Brad Jensen, also known as thesoberbodybuilder online. He is the owner of Key Nutrition and - co-host of the popular "The Key nutrition podcast." Brad has an incredible recovery story and over ten years of sobriety. The ironic thing about Brad's story is that fitness has played both a positive and a negative role in his life, and it even led him to try painkillers for the first time when he was just seventeen. The years followed were filled with self-destruction and turmoil, leading to multiple incarcerations and rehab visits. After being homeless for nearly a year in 2012, Brad found himself at rock bottom after his mom bought heroin for him so that he wouldn't feel dope sick at his Grandfather's funeral. His mother, filled with tears, watched Brad get high in the back of her car; this was Brad's breaking point. Hours later, Brad found himself arrested again, but this time it was the catalyst for his sobriety. Today he comes on the podcast to tell his riveting story from start to finish. We talk about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Our discussion also gets tactical as we dive into how to thrive in recovery, the power of your inner circle and much more!
  
  
 What to Listen For:
  
  00:00 Intro
 02:20 Mistakes that people make in sobriety
 07:04 Spend time with people who have “common futures”
 10:11 Unhealthy coping mechanisms
 13:12 Where did Brad’s addiction journey begin?
 27:00 Using opiates to numb emotional pain
 21:39 Things go down hill for him FAST
 27:28 Why Brad struggled with staying sober
 29:23 Did he still workout during active addiction?
 33:19 Brad is homeless for nearly a year 
 36:03 Getting high in his Mom’s car before his Grandfather’s funeral
 39:43 How did he finally get and stay sober?
 47:02 The four pillars of fitness
 51:40 Does Brad still have addictive patterns?
 55:38 Advice for parents who have a kid who is struggling with addiction

      <title>Serena Kerrigan On Building Confidence, Why Rejection is Redirection &amp; Becoming The Main Character Of Your Story</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/serena-kerrigan-on-building-confidence-why-rejection-is-redirection-becoming-the-main-character-of-your-story</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is the Queen of Confidence Serena Kerrigan.  Serena is a Latina Content Creator, Media Personality, Entrepreneur and creator of Let’s F*cking Date. Her brand is famous for its wildly effective relationship-building card games. Her unique ability to listen and engage with her audience has generated viral success and a dedicated cult following on social media.  Serena’s bold personality and life changing mantras have inspired thousands to live their life unapologetically.  Today we discuss why changing her middle name and creating the SFK persona helped Serena survive when she was younger and how it helped her build extreme confidence along the way. She also shares the struggles this same persona has created for her and how it wasn’t until recently that she was comfortable just being “Serena.” We also discuss the world of dating, why rejection is redirection and steps you can take to develop real confidence. We also play one of her card games live on the show which I think you will find very entertaining! 
  
 What to Listen For:
  
  00:00 Intro
 01:56 How do you know if you’re TRULY confident? 
 05:03 Serena explains why she created SFK

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sal-di-stefano-on-building-healthy-habits-why-most-exercise-programs-fail-how-to-lose-fat-for-good</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Sal Di Stefano. You may know Sal as one of the hosts of the Mind Pump Podcast, a show that exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more. Sal picked up his first weight at the age of 14. Fitness was a way for him to apply hard work and effort towards changing and re-inventing himself. He wanted to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity based industry to a self love and self care health industry. This is Sal’s third time on the podcast and today we discuss what you must do in order to achieve your health and fitness goals.  But, today’s conversation isn’t all about working out. We dive deep into  the non-physical things that you must do in order to achieve your goals. We discuss behavior change, how to build healthy habits, why self discovery is a non-negotiable and of course we chat about some things you must do in the gym to see results and much more. 
  
 What to Listen For:
  
  00:00 Intro
 01:41 3 things you should focus on to improve your health in 2023
 03:30 Why do most exercise programs fail? (&amp; which is most effective)
 06:42 How to effectively set goals
 09:52 Discovering the root cause of your motivation
 12:13 THIS mindset shift will help you reach your goals
 14:42 Don’t fall into this common workout trap
 16:37 The importance of strength training
 19:59 Don’t be hyper focused on weight loss
 22:09 Expect to hit speed bumps along the way
 24:43 Improving your health is a journey
 34:09 Tips for practicing patience
 38:37 What to do when you hit a plateau
 40:40 Liver King (&amp; who you should follow online)
 45:43 The “processed food of fitness”
 48:11 How to lose belly fat
 53:26 Sal’s goals for 2023

      <title>Sara Kuburic On The 3 Hard Relationship Truths You Need To Hear So That You Can Successfully Find Love In 2023</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sara-kuburic-on-the-3-harsh-relationship-truths-you-need-to-hear-so-that-you-can-successfully-find-love-in-2023</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Sara Kuburic. Sara is an existential psychotherapist and many of you know her as @millennial.therapist on Instagram and this is her third time on the podcast. Sara is also a writer as well as a columnist for USA Today. I know I've said this before, but what I love about Sara’s content is that she takes complex issues that can be hard to talk about such as mental health, relationships, and dating and creates content around these topics that's easy for people to understand and digest. I think you're really gonna appreciate this episode as we kept it super organic and we covered a lot of ground on dating, relationships and so much more.

 02:50 Which relationship needs are your responsibility? 
 05:19 “The degree of vulnerability dictates the degree of intimacy.”
 08:31 Hard Relationship Truth #2
 11:08 Why does personal accountability often get overlooked? 
 14:54 Taking responsibility for your behavior after a breakup
 16:48 I’ve been cheated on and we broke up. Now what? 
 19:35 Sara’s thoughts on monogamy
 22:41 Sara and I get personal
 26:13 Hard Relationship Truth #3
 27:37 How to stop self sabotaging
 32:08 Communicating your needs to a potential partner
 35:10 Why are so many people single? 
 39:00 When actions and words are misaligned 
 42:18 How to identify your “red flags”
 44:25 Traits of a “high value partner”
 49:02 Mistakes people make when setting boundaries
 52:29 Is Blaming your parents helpful?

 58:05 Do THIS not THAT after a breakup
 1:04:54 How to not be so hard on yourself

      <title>Frank Rich On How To Recover From Porn Addiction (&amp; Why It's So Addictive)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/frank-rich-on-how-to-recover-from-porn-addiction-why-its-so-addictive</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Frank Rich. Frank is a former bodybuilder, entrepreneur, men's health coach, and host of The Super Human Life podcast. After living with and battling porn addiction, depression, and anxiety for almost 20 years, he is now on a mission to help men who are suffering with many of the same issues take back control of their lives through the power of faith and fitness. Frank has helped thousands of men transform their physiques through his online coaching platform. He is also the founder and CEO of Rebuilt Recovery, a company based on a growth centric holistic approach to addiction recovery.

      <title>Frank Grillo On Managing Expectations, Controlling Difficult Emotions &amp; Dealing With Rejection</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/frank-grillo-on-managing-expectations-practicing-patience-prioritizing-mental-health</link>
      <description>I know I don’t normally release episodes three times a week. But, today is a special occasion because actor Frank Grillo of the newly released movie “Lamborghini: The Main Behind The Legend” joins me on the podcast. You may recognize Frank from “Warrior,” “The Grey” or from some of the Marvel  movies or shows like “Billions” or “Kingdom.” In this episode we are going to get real and you are going to hear a side of Frank that you may not be as familiar with. Frank lost two people very close to him in the last year to suicide and it impacted him deeply. He is on a mission to prioritize his mental health, help his family, and help others do the same which is a big focus of today’s discussion. Frank also gets candid about parenting, divorce, healing trauma, his career and more.

        <![CDATA[<p>I know I don’t normally release episodes three times a week. But, today is a special occasion because actor Frank Grillo of the newly released movie “Lamborghini: The Main Behind The Legend” joins me on the podcast. You may recognize Frank from “Warrior,” “The Grey” or from some of the Marvel  movies or shows like “Billions” or “Kingdom.” In this episode we are going to get real and you are going to hear a side of Frank that you may not be as familiar with. Frank lost two people very close to him in the last year to suicide and it impacted him deeply. He is on a mission to prioritize his mental health, help his family, and help others do the same which is a big focus of today’s discussion. Frank also gets candid about parenting, divorce, healing trauma, his career and more.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Thanks to this episode's sponsor:</em></p> <p> </p> <p>Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss: <a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a> Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> What to Listen For:</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>0:00 Intro</li> <li>1:28 What motivates Frank to continue to push himself physically?</li> <li>3:05 Learning to embrace the journey</li> <li>5:04 Frank’s role got cut from a major movie</li> <li>8:07 Is he still waiting for his “big break”?</li> <li>9:59 Dealing with multiple tragedies </li> <li>16:03 How Frank manages his mental health </li> <li>18:11 Empowering his kids &amp; helping them with their mental health </li> <li>25:51 Why you need to cut people out of your life</li> <li>28:18 Becoming famous later in life</li> <li>29:46 How Frank’s childhood impacted him</li> <li>32:23 Reflecting on his divorce</li> <li>34:34 Healing toxic patterns (&amp; learning healthy ones)</li> <li>36:35 Why money won’t solve all of your problems</li> <li>39:36 How does Frank calm himself down?</li> <li>42:42 Does he struggle with comparison?</li> <li>43:45 How Frank’s latest role challenged him (&amp; changed him)</li> <li>48:27 Dealing with criticism</li> <li>51:06 What’s his new movie about?</li> </ul> <p>   Episode resources:</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Frank:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/frankgrillo1/?hl=en">Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.lionsgate.com/movies/lamborghini-the-man-behind-the-legend"> Watch Lamborghini</a></p> <p>  Follow me on Social Media:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-bopst-9a83b244">LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/dougbopst">Twitter</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠</p> <p>Please be advised; the topics related to mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

      <title>Dr. Nicole LePera (The Holistic Psychologist) On How to Transform Negative Thoughts Into Positive Beliefs &amp; Calm Your Nervous System</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-nicole-lepera-on-how-to-destroy-negative-thoughts-calm-your-nervous-system</link>
      <description>Today's guest and returning to the podcast for her second appearance is Dr. Nicole LePera or many of you know her as “The Holistic Psychologist.” Dr. Nicole was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research, and the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. She's the author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling Book "How To Do The Work" and the podcast host of SelfHealers Soundboard. As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy.  Wanting more for her patients— and for self— she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. Dr. Nicole is the creator of the #SelfHealers movement where people from around the world are joining together in a community to take healing into their own hands. In 2019, she founded SelfHealers Circle, the first virtual self-guided global healing membership. Selfhealers Circle has members in over 60 countries who heal as a collective. Her latest workbook "How To Meet Your Self" will release on December 6th. We chat about how to deepen the connection with yourself and break free from unhealthy patterns so that you can learn how to calm your nervous system, overcome negative thought patterns, make peace with your past and more!

      <description>Today’s guest is Sahil Bloom. Sahil is one of the most popular creators on twitter and the content he provides on wellness, mindset, money, life and mental health is nothing short of world class. What he has been able to accomplish by the age of 30 is absolutely insane. While at Stanford University, Sahil was a 4 year member of the Baseball team where he helped lead the team to two NCAA Super regional appearances. Sahil also won multiple awards for his academics and even was advised by former Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice. After leaving Stanford he entered the world of finance where he worked his way up to vice president of a firm that managed billions of dollars in capital. However, things took an unexpected turn for Sahil a few years ago and he found himself disconnected, overwhelmed with anxiety and faced with a self induced ultimatum that led him to the world of twitter and media. We get into his comeback story today as well as his thoughts on success, failure, addiction, things that overrated, timelines, mental errors, life transitions, identity and much more.

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-being-homeless-in-a-doghouse-to-finding-recovery-love-purpose-the-story-of-jeannine-coulter</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Jeannine Coulter - co-host of the popular recovery podcast, “Chasing Heroine.” Jeannine has an incredible story of recovery and has nearly 8 years of sobriety. Like many, this seemed like an impossible accomplishment in the previous years. Jeannine's life started off great and was raised in a Christian home with loving parents. But, things changed drastically for her when her parents divorced unexpectedly and it completely wrecked her soul. The years that followed would be filled with debauchery, addiction, legal trouble and more. She even spent some of her final days of mayhem living in an actual doghouse. Today, she comes on the podcast to share her story of how she went from her darkest moments to finding sobriety, love and buying the fitness studio that helped save her life. We dive deep into her story from start to finish and so much more!

His podcast, The Proof with Simon Hill, extends beyond nutrition to other crucial lifestyle factors that impact our well-being.

      <title>Layne Norton &amp; Simon Hill #2 (Part 1 of 2) On Protein Quality, Best Diet For Fat Loss &amp; Are All Calories Created Equal?</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/layne-norton-simon-hill-2-part-1-of-2-on-protein-quality-best-diet-for-fat-loss-are-all-calories-created-equal</link>
      <description>Today's guests are Layne Norton and Simon Hill. Simon and Layne were on the show earlier this year and it has been one of the most popular episodes. So I thought I would get them back on to keep the discussion going. I will link our first episode in the notes below and I highly encourage y'all to give it a listen.
  
 Layne Norton (aka Biolayne) is an entrepreneur, physique coach, bodybuilder, and powerlifter.  Alongside his success as a competitor, Layne has his Ph.D in nutrition science and is one of the most respected voices in the health and nutrition space. Simon Hill is a nutritionist and physiotherapist with a bachelor's degree in science and a master's degree in nutrition science on a mission to help people make informed lifestyle choices. His podcast, The Proof with Simon Hill, extends beyond nutrition to other crucial lifestyle factors that impact our well-being.
  
 This episode I believe is the longest one I have done yet and so I broke it down into two parts. In this first part, we cover protein quality, why adherence matters, the best diet for fat loss, and the nuances of the highly debated topic: “are all calories created equal?” In the second part which will be released on Thursday, we cover insulin, insulin resistance, exercise, longevity, and gut health.

      <title>Adrian Grenier On The Dark Side of FAME &amp; How He Redisovered Himself To Find REAL Love, Meaning &amp; Purpose</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/adrian-grenier-on-the-dark-side-of-fame-how-he-redisovered-himself-to-find-real-love-meaning-purpose</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Adrian Grenier. Many of you will recognize Adrian from playing Vincent Chase on the incredibly popular HBO show Entourage. But, Adrian is much more than “Vinny Chase.” Today he has cemented his place as a change agent who leverages his influence and passion for film to make impactful investments, create meaningful content and help make the world a better place. Adrian is also an entrepreneur and environmentalist and has started companies such as DuContra Ventures, The Lonely Whale Foundation and his newest endeavor, Earth Speed Media. While a lot of you may only know Adrian from his role on Entourage, he has made a radical transformation since that time and I’m looking forward to unpacking his story and all the ins and outs that go with in todays episode.

      <description>Today's guests are husband and wife, John Kim and Vanessa Bennett. John also known as “The Angry Therapist” pioneered the online life coaching movement seven years ago, after going through a divorce, which led to his total rebirth.

John's wife, Vanessa Bennett is an author, a holistic psychotherapist, a clinical entrepreneur and mental health content creator. She co-hosts the “Cheaper Than Therapy” podcast and leads soul based retreats and workshops. Vanessa also creates and facilitates curriculum for non profits, corporate events and conferences.

John and Vanessa reveal how to find true love, heal from your past relationships and why chemistry in the beginning can be a RED FLAG.  Our discussion also gets into how to properly “fight” in a relationship, how to become a better partner and so much more!

      <title>Pauline Adeleke On What to do When Life Is UNFAIR &amp; How to DESTROY The Victim Mindset</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/paulien</link>
      <description>Todays’ guest is 70 year old fitness coach Pauline Adeleke! Pauline has been into fitness all of her life and at the youthful age of 70 years young, she has taken on the task of educating others about the undeniable benefits of exercise and fitness. 
  
 She has successfully set out to accomplish this mission by inspiring and motivating people of all ages through her ageless fitness lifestyle channel on YouTube and providing fitness training sessions with clients in person as well as remotely, but things haven't always been easy for her. Pauline met her husband, John, while working as an international flight attendant. John was one of Nigeria's premier entrepreneurs and intellectuals. He had a vision for his country that would supersede any country in Africa or the world for that matter. Mr. Adeleke was a multi-millionaire a hundred times over and provided a jet setting lifestyle for Pauline and their children with their residents in New York and homes all over. But within seven years, the magical ride would cease with the abrupt and sudden death of Mr. Adeleke, leaving Pauline and her two children financially barren . How did she overcome such a tremendous setback raising two children, ages four and five on her own? Well, I guess you're gonna have to listen to the episode to find out.

      <description>Today's guest is Allison Faulkner. Allison is a branding and events expert and host of the podcast “Awesome with Allison,” which is a top 100 health and wellness podcast. She's a consultant for fortune 500 companies, a writer, speaker, and self-proclaimed nonsense, dancer and CEO of “Allison's brand school,” where she partners with companies like Microsoft and Alaska airlines among others.

We also chat about how to rebuild your self confidence (and your life) after everything falls apart and how to have a healthy relationship with validation and more!
  
  
 What to Listen For:
  
  00:00 Intro
 01:57 What makes her “self help” book different?
 06:18 How to take action on what you learn from a book or podcast

 19:51 How to develop confidence when your life falls apart
 26:05 Small steps she took rebuild her life and not give up

      <title>Jenna Willis On Why She Ditched Acting For Fitness &amp; How To Survive a Breakup</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jenna-willis-on-why-she-ditched-acting-for-fitness-how-to-survive-a-breakup</link>
      <description>Today's guest is my good friend, Jenna Willis, and Jenna and I met several years ago working out together at Gabby Reece's house. She's also a colleague and a trainer! Jenna's complete mind-body approach to wellness as well as her results have gained her a reputation as one of the hottest rising celebrity trainers.
  
 Her impressive client roster includes YouTube sensation Liza Koshy, reality Queen Lala Kent, and pop music icon, Camila Cabello to name a few. In an industry obsessed with perfection, Jenna embraces the awkward, allowing those she trains to focus on enjoying working out rather than stressing about it as a former division one volleyball Jenna uses her background in fitness and uplifting teamwork mentality to help both herself and her clients cope with anxiety and gain peace of mind. I think you guys are gonna enjoy this conversation a lot. It's a little different as we engage in a friendly dialogue and talk about the SUPER awkward moment in how we met. 
  
 We not only talk about how we met, we unpack Jenna's story and chat about her acting career, her battles with panic attacks and anxiety and how different breakups have made her stronger. She shares why fitness has been a major coping strategy and how that led to her decision to ditch acting and go "all in" on being a trainer. Jenna also reveals the wild story of how she landed a role on Vanderpump Rules and so much more!

        <![CDATA[<p>Today's guest is my good friend, Jenna Willis, and Jenna and I met several years ago working out together at Gabby Reece's house. She's also a colleague and a trainer! Jenna's complete mind-body approach to wellness as well as her results have gained her a reputation as one of the hottest rising celebrity trainers.</p> <p> </p> <p>Her impressive client roster includes YouTube sensation Liza Koshy, reality Queen Lala Kent, and pop music icon, Camila Cabello to name a few. In an industry obsessed with perfection, Jenna embraces the awkward, allowing those she trains to focus on enjoying working out rather than stressing about it as a former division one volleyball Jenna uses her background in fitness and uplifting teamwork mentality to help both herself and her clients cope with anxiety and gain peace of mind. I think you guys are gonna enjoy this conversation a lot. It's a little different as we engage in a friendly dialogue and talk about the SUPER awkward moment in how we met. </p> <p> </p> <p>We not only talk about how we met, we unpack Jenna's story and chat about her acting career, her battles with panic attacks and anxiety and how different breakups have made her stronger. She shares why fitness has been a major coping strategy and how that led to her decision to ditch acting and go "all in" on being a trainer. Jenna also reveals the wild story of how she landed a role on Vanderpump Rules and so much more! </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><em>Thanks to this episode's sponsor:</em></p> <p> </p> <p>Join Thrive Market today to get 40% off your first order and a free gift worth over $50.

      <title>Colin O’Brady on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs to Become UNSTOPPABLE</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/colin-obrady-on-overcoming-limiting-beliefs-to-become-unstoppable</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Colin O Brady. Colin is a ten-time world record breaking explorer, speaker, entrepreneur, and expert on mindset. His feats include the world’s first solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits, and the first human-powered ocean row across Drake Passage. Colin’s highly publicized expeditions have been followed by millions, and his work has been featured by The Joe Rogan Experience, The Tonight Show, The Today Show, and The New York Times. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller The Impossible First and now The 12-Hour Walk: Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life which came out this week.
  
 We talk about how his near death experience transformed his life and what drives him to attempt such extreme endeavors. Colin opens up about his marriage to his wife, why she decided to climb Mt. Everest and how nearly losing her changed his view on what matters most. We also get into how to push past common limiting beliefs, overcome your biggest fears and achieve what you want in life and so much more!

      <description>Today’s guest is Sadie Sutton. Sadie is a 19 year old college sophomore from the Bay area and after receiving a year and a half of intensive treatment for severe depression and anxiety, she was inspired to share her story with fellow teens going through their own personal growth. 
 She started a podcast back in 2019 and has accumulated over 105 episodes reaching over 75,000 listeners. Sadie conducts impactful and inspirational interviews with subject matter experts, fellow teenagers, and social media personalities to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and inspire teens to create their life worth living. Sadie is a psychology major at the University of Pennsylvania and hopes to pursue a career in clinical psychology to further her impact in the mental health field.  
 We talk about the devastating effects of mental health issues when disregarded and left unaddressed, the different options, treatments, and programs available for anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, the importance of a solid and trusted support system, the amazing story of a young girl who battled against severe depression and recovered from it, and so much more!

      <title>Terri Cole On Setting Boundaries, Codependency &amp; How to Stop People Pleasing</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/terri-cole-on-setting-boundaries-codependency-how-to-stop-people-pleasing</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Terri Cole. Terri is a licensed psychotherapist. She's a relationship expert. She's an empowerment coach, author, and a total boundary boss. And I think this conversation is gonna help you out so much with all things mental health, relationships, boundaries, and more.    
 We talk about the truth about narcissism and what makes one a narcissist, how setting boundaries in any relationship can save and strengthen it, why it is important to have a good relationship with yourself first and above any bonds, and so much more!

 What to Listen For:
  00:00 Intro
 01:12 What is narcissism?
 03:49 Can narcissists truly empathize?
 09:10 Codependency and toxicity in relationships
 16:14 Do a resentment inventory
 20:51 “Alcoholics and addicts don’t have relationships, they take hostages.”
 29:13 Pause and listen to what your children have to say
 33:28 What is the state of your relationship to yourself?
 35:26 It all comes back to setting boundaries
 44:30 Constantly making deposits into the well of Goodwill
 48:59 If you’re walking on eggshells everyday, that’s not healthy

      <title>Laurie Santos On The Surprising Truth About Happiness &amp; How to Become Happier Today</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/laurie-santos-on-why-youre-not-happy-how-to-fix-it</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Dr. Laurie Santos who's a professor of psychology and head of Silliman College at Yale University. Dr. Santos is an expert on human cognition and the cognitive biases that impede better choices. Her course, Psychology and the Good Life, teaches students what the science of psychology says about how to make wiser choices and live a life that's happier and more fulfilling. The class is Yale's most popular course in over 300 years and has been adapted into a free Coursera program that has been taken by over 3.9 million people to date.
 Dr. Santos has been featured in numerous news outlets including the New York Times, NBC Nightly News, Today's Show, CBS This Morning, NPR, GQ Magazine, and much more. Dr. Santos is a winner of numerous awards both for her science and teaching from institutions such as Yale and the American Psychological Association. She has been featured as one of Popular Science's Brilliant 10 Young Minds and was named Times' leading campus celebrity. Her podcast, The Happiness Lab, which launched in 2019, has over 72 million downloads.  
 We talk about what real happiness is, how our choices affect our happiness, why being happy all the time is not ideal, why we shouldn’t focus on predicting what will make us happy, staying optimistic when things don’t go as we plan them to, and so much more!

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/mollie-west-duffy-on-how-to-master-burnout-comparison-uncertainty</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Mollie West Duffy. Mollie is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestselling book, No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work.

 We talk about our emotional wellbeing, the strength in finding the courage to be open about your vulnerability, why we shouldn't discredit our achievements no matter how little they may seem, using envy to push ourselves to become better, what can we do to prevent burnout, and so much more!

      <title>David McRaney On Why You Can’t Change Someone’s Mind &amp; What to Do Instead</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/david-mcraney-on-why-you-cant-change-someones-mind-what-to-do-instead</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is David McRaney, host of the popular science podcast, You Are Not So Smart. And David seeks to shed light on the surprising psychology about why people change their minds and how we can persuade others. In his latest book, How Minds Change: The Surprising Science of Belief, Opinion, and Persuasion, David delves into the latest psychological and neuroscientific research and explains that to change mind, we must do what the science suggests, avoid debates and start having conversations.  
 We talk about how our minds work, how our circumstances and the environment we have affect our thought process, why our beliefs make it difficult to change our perspective, how we should process the information we get exposed to, and so much more!

      <title>Brooke Hemingway On Using Your Addictive Personality to Transform Yourself &amp; Build Your Dream Life</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/brooke-hemingway-on-using-your-addictive-personality-to-transform-yourself-build-your-dream-life</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Brooke Hemingway. Brooke is a 40 something mom of six, who went from the traditional Western medicine world to holistic health and real wellness five years ago. She also went from being busy having babies and supporting her husband full time while he worked as the chief of ER to becoming a full-fledged entrepreneur while nursing babies, having babies, homeschooling, and flailing her way through the messy middle to come out way further along than she could have ever imagined. She started her first business with her fifth baby being six weeks old, became a million plus dollar earner right after the birth of her six child, and went on to create three more six-figure businesses. 
 We talk about developing habits that lead to building confidence, how to turn your addictive personality into an advantage, why success is a process that requires a lot of patience, and so much more!

      <title>Former NIMH Director Thomas Insel &amp; Sarah Fay On Fixing the Broken Mental Health Care System</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/former-nimh-director-thomas-insel-sarah-fay-on-fixing-the-broken-mental-health-care-system</link>
      <description>Today I have a very special treat As we have two guests on the show. First, we have Sarah Fay who is an award winning author and mental health advocate working to improve how we think and talk about our mental health by moving the conversation away from simplistic diagnoses and toward a deeper understanding of our mental and emotional lives. Her personal experience of being diagnosed with six different mental health disorders and finding no relief led her to investigate the diagnoses that we receive and to write her journalistic memoir, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses, which apple book shows as one of the best books in March.
 Joining her to unpack a lot of this and more is Dr. Thomas Insel who's a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has been a national leader in mental health research, policy, and technology. From 2002 to 2015, Dr. Insel served as director of the National Institute of Mental Health.   
 We talk about why diagnoses and symptoms shouldn’t be the focus in treating our mental health, how we should work on ourselves first and allow healing, why we should not allow what we are growing through to define our identity, and so much more!

      <title>From Prison Guard To Champion Endurance Athlete: The Story Of Ken Rideout</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-prison-guard-to-champion-endurance-athlete-the-story-of-ken-rideout</link>
      <description>Today, we welcome Ken Rideout who is co-host of the popular podcast, The Fight with Teddy Atlas. What you may or may not know is that Ken has an incredible story and is one of the most accomplished endurance athletes that exist. He ran a marathon in under two hours and 30 minutes at age 50. 
 But, things didn't always come easy for Ken as his life has been filled with many forms of adversity including battles with addiction, a difficult upbringing, becoming a prison guard right after graduating high school, and working on Wall Street with no formal experience. The remedy for his transformation has included an unshakable commitment to his health, recovery, and his family.   
 We talk about his amazing journey from growing up in a not a very child friendly environment, getting exposed to outlaws as a prison guard, getting into drug addiction to finding purpose in life through sports, setting goals to live healthy and mindful of personal growth, and continuously dealing with the challenges of parenting.

      <title>Sara Kuburic On Why Self Love Transforms ALL Relationships (Even When They FAIL)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sara-kuburic-on-why-self-love-transforms-all-relationships-even-when-they-fail</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Sara Kuburic. Sara is an existential psychotherapist, she's a writer, she's a consultant and a columnist for USA Today. Many of you may know her as Millennial.Therapist on Instagram, and this is her second time on the podcast. And what I love about Sara's content is that she takes complex issues such as mental health and relationships and creates content that's easily digestible, it's simple and easy for people to understand.   
 We talk about the elements that should coexist to make a relationship work, how our relationships impact our mental health, why we should invest in ourselves more before we date again, why it isn’t necessary to apologize for a failed relationship, and so much more!

      <title>Andrew East On Transforming Failure Into Optimism &amp; How To Support Your Partner During Adversity</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/andrew-east-on-transforming-failure-into-optimism-how-to-support-your-partner-during-adversity</link>
      <description>Today, we welcome the other half of the East family, former NFL athlete, Andrew East. I know many of you enjoyed the episode with his wife, Shawn Johnson and I think you will love this episode too. Andrew gained visibility through the YouTube channel that he and Shawn created together which now has over 215 million views. His Top 90 podcast that focuses on those like him have had interesting career pivots. The experience he has gained through his time in the digital space has led to coaching and consulting on behalf of Google for Fortune 500 Companies for how to create engaging content.
 We talk about why it’s okay not to excel in something you want to do, how important it is to adapt to changes and career shifts, finding new passion and thriving in it, the importance of being a support pillar to your partner in difficult moments, and so much more!

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/doug-evans-on-the-power-of-sprouts-why-they-are-the-ultimate-superfood</link>
      <description>Today, we welcome Doug Evans. Doug is an early pioneer in the natural food industry in 2012. He co-founded Organic Avenue, one of the first exclusively raw organic and plant-based retail chains in the country. He then created and founded Juicero, the first fresh farm-to-glass automatic cold press juicer with the mission of bringing more fresh produce to the home. Doug has become quite popular recently as he wrote The Sprout Book in efforts to teach people about the power of sprouts and has written a transformative plan for sprouting. He's revolutionizing  gardening and growing your own food right in your kitchen in an affordable and accessible way. 
 His mission in life is to help people learn how to grow and eat the most nutritious food on the planet, sprouts. 
 We talk about healthy eating, the nutrients and health benefits of regular consumption of sprouts, tips on how to get started on sprouting, the value of making connections and how to strengthen them and so much more!

      <title>Josh Peck On Losing Over 100 lb, Getting Sober &amp; Becoming the Father He Never Had</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/josh-peck-on-losing-over-100-lb-getting-sober-becoming-the-father-he-never-had</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Josh Peck. Josh has established himself as one of Hollywood's rising talents, making the seamless transition between child actor to leading man. He is best known for his role on the Nickelodeon phenomenon, Drake and Josh, for which he received a kid's choice nomination. The series premiere was watched by 3.2 million viewers, Nickelodeon's highest rated series premiere in nearly 10 years. Josh is also 14 years sober and has such an amazing and inspiring story, which I think y'all are going to get a lot out of. Josh is also the author of the memoir, Happy People Are Annoying, which is the occasion for today's chat. 
 We talk about his weight loss journey, how it started, the motivation that kept him going, and how the need to lose weight led to addiction. Josh also shares his views on parenthood, the stories of people he got acquainted with during his recovery, the emotional disconnection with his family that he managed to patch up, and so many more!

      <title>Alexis Haines On Recovery, Redemption, Healing, &amp; Finding Your Real Purpose</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/alexis-haines-on-breaking-free-from-a-crippling-past-and-setting-boundaries-to-properly-function-in-society</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Alexis Haines. Alexis hosts the raw and resonant podcast Recovering from Reality, a platform for people who would rather wake the fuck up rather than have more “fun problems”. Inspired by her public journey from reality TV sensation and heroin addiction to sobriety, motherhood, and wellness, Alexis is living proof that you can heal yourself, recover from addiction and inspire others along the way. Her first hand experience of substance abuse, combined with the explosive effects of social media storytelling turned her rock bottom into a reinvention tour, igniting a movement to eradicate shame around the stories that inevitably save us if we are brave enough to share them with others.  
 We talk about the different forms of addiction and how different people break free from them, the fear of relapsing and having a hard time staying sober, this deeply rooted belief system that limits us to remain rooted in the past instead of evolving, turning a difficult relationship with family into healing and reconciliation and so much more!

Her first hand experience of substance abuse, combined with the explosive effects of social media storytelling turned her rock bottom into a reinvention tour, igniting a movement to eradicate shame around the stories that inevitably save us if we are brave enough to share them with others.  </p> <p>We talk about the different forms of addiction and how different people break free from them, the fear of relapsing and having a hard time staying sober, this deeply rooted belief system that limits us to remain rooted in the past instead of evolving, turning a difficult relationship with family into healing and reconciliation and so much more!</p> <p><em>Thanks to this episode's sponsor:</em></p> <p>BiOptimizers/Magnesium Breakthrough: Go to <a href="http://www.magbreakthrough.com/doug">www.magbreakthrough.com/doug</a> and use the code DOUG10 to save 10 percent when you try Magnesium Breakthrough.</p> <p>Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss: <a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a> Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order </p> <p>What to Listen For:</p> <ul> <li>00:00 Intro</li> <li>01:36 We are all empaths</li> <li>09:03 The fear of relapsing</li> <li>12:52 Solid daily routine and practice</li> <li>15:12 Our deeply engraved belief system</li> <li>20:26 It’s okay to not be okay</li> <li>28:02 Setting boundaries to function properly</li> <li>40:15 When did real healing happen?</li> <li>45:35 The victim, the perpetrator, and the rescuer</li> </ul> <p>Episode Resources:</p> <ul> <li>Alexis Haines | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsalexishaines/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/itsalexishaines">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alexischaines">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Alexis-Haines/e/B082P22B6Q%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share"> Book</a>  </li> <li><a href="https://www.recoveringfromreality.com/">Recovering From Reality</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ororecovery.com/">Oro House Recovery Centers</a></li> </ul> <p>Follow me on Social Media:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-bopst-9a83b244">LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/dougbopst">Twitter</a></li> </ul><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Sal Di Stefano On Why Resistance Training is Necessary &amp; How to Successfully Stick to Your Workout Plan</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sal-di-stefano-on-why-resistance-training-is-necessary-how-to-successfully-stick-to-your-workout-plan</link>
      <description>Today, we welcome Sal Di Stefano. You may know Sal as one of the hosts of the Mind Pump Podcast, a show that exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more. Sal picked up his first weight at the age of 14. Fitness was a way for him to apply hard work and effort towards changing and re-inventing himself. He wanted to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity based industry to a self love and self care health industry.
 We talk about formulating an effective fat loss strategy, the difference between a group class training and individualized training, how people managed to stick to working out and get to enjoy it, and eating the right food for best results. We also talk about using exercise as a tool to achieve a quality life.

      <title>Maya Shankar On Habit Change, Decision Making, Letting Go Of The Past &amp; Science Backed Tools to Remain Optimistic During Adversity</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/aa-maya-shankar</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Maya Shankar. Maya is a cognitive scientist and the creator, Executive Producer, and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, which Apple recently awarded as the Best Show of the Year 2021. Maya was a Senior Advisor in the Obama White House, where she founded and served as Chair of the White House Behavioral Science Team. Maya has a postdoctoral fellowship in cognitive neuroscience from Stanford, a Ph.D. from Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, and a B.A. from Yale. 
 We talk about the cognitive science behind how we adapt to changes based on the choices we have and the choices we eventually make, either by staying stagnant in a frustrating situation or finding the will to reintegrate ourselves back into the world. We also discuss all things habit change, decision making, letting go of the past, how to remain optimistic during adversity (using science backed tools) and more!

      <title>Dr. Nicole Beurkens On Parenting Tips To Help Kids Manage Anxiety, Reduce Screen Time &amp; Handle Conflict</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-nicole-beurkens-on-parenting-tips-to-help-kids-manage-anxiety-reduce-screen-time-handle-conflict</link>
      <description>Today, we welcome Dr. Nicole Beurkens, the only doctoral licensed clinical psychologist with advanced degrees in psychology, education and nutrition. Dr. Beurkens is the world's leading holistic child psychologist. She has dedicated her 22 plus year career to providing parents with simple, effective, and research-based strategies that get to the root of children's attention, anxiety, mood, and behavior challenges, so they can reach their highest potential. 
 We talk about why yelling at your kids is counterproductive when they aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do, what parents need to focus on to strengthen connection with their children, why what we feed them greatly impacts their physical, mental, and emotional developments, and how to not get our children addicted to mobile devices.

      <title>Shawn Johnson On Dealing with Perfectionism, Embracing Vulnerability &amp; Why it’s Okay to Start Over</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/shawn-johnson-on-dealing-with-perfectionism-embracing-vulnerability-why-its-okay-to-start-over</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Shawn Johnson. Shawn is an olympic gold medalist, a DWTS champion and a New York Times best selling author. But, she is much more than that. She is also a Mom, a wife and an excellent role model. What inspires me most about her is her continued pursuit to become her best, her commitment to her family and her gift of vulnerability to help others. We chat about that as well as societal pressure, managing perfectionism, shifting the perspective on failure, believing in yourself when no one else will and why it’s OKAY to start over. 
 Shawn Johnson East is a former artistic gymnast and a 2008 Olympic balance beam gold medalist. She is also the 2007 all-around World Champion, and a five-time Pan American Games gold medalist, winning the team titles in 2007 and 2011, as well as titles in the all-around, uneven bars, and balance beam in 2007. In May 2009, she topped season eight of Dancing with the Stars, and in November 2012 she earned second place on the all-star edition.

      <description>Today, we welcome Nedra Tawwab to talk about self-awareness and setting boundaries, how one can set personal boundaries without offending the other person, upholding them for your mental health, having difficult conversations with people you haven’t been in constant contact with, and why you need to seek help from the right person.

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/johann-hari-on-why-your-attention-has-been-stolen-from-you-how-to-get-it-back</link>
      <description>Today, we welcome Johann Hari to talk about focus, from why we are rapidly losing focus and why many are having a hard time concentrating on one task to how technology is playing a major role in this dilemma, the correlation between sleep and diet, and why working too much affects our quality of work.  
 Johann Hari is a British writer who has authored two New York Times best-selling books. They have been translated into 38 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people, from Oprah to Noam Chomsky, from Elton John to Naomi Klein. His TED talks have been viewed more than 80 million times. The first is named ‘Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong’. The second is entitled ‘This Could Be Why You Are Depressed or Anxious’. His latest book, ‘Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention’, was released in January 2022.

      <title>Best of 2021 #1: The Holistic Psychologist (Dr. Nicole LePera) - A Masterclass on How to Heal Your Past and Do the Inner Work</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/best-of-2021-1-the-holistic-psychologist-dr-nicole-lepera-a-masterclass-on-how-to-heal-your-past-and-do-the-inner-work</link>
      <description>For this last week of 2021 (12/27-12/31) we have something special for you. Each day we will re-release one of the top 5 most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/3/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  Best of 2021 #1: The Holistic Psychologist (Dr. Nicole LePera) - A Masterclass on How to Heal Your Past and Do the Inner Work (Originally released 2/1/21)
  
 I bet many of you reading this are feeling stuck in some way. Whether it’s in your business, in your personal life or your relationships I am sure you’ve been wanting to finally break free from your past and heal. I am going to share a little secret with you. Even though your life isn’t “chaotic” it doesn’t mean that unhealthy behaviors aren’t holding you back from living your best life.
  
 Struggling to make change, self-sabotage, people-pleasing, addictions, constant feelings of anxiety/fear/stress, toxic relationships, feeling unfulfilled…. These are all signs that you are stuck and living in the past.
  
 I got you thinking now, didn’t I?
  
 I have been tracking down this person to get this interview for quite some time and after hearing who it is you will understand why. Her approach to healing is extraordinarily popular because of the way that it empowers people to have control over their thoughts, emotions, and actions.  Remember, healing and doing the work is a daily practice.  It certainly isn’t easy and takes time. There are many tools that can help you on your journey and she and I will discuss them all.
  
 But please, remember that the goal isn’t to implement these all at once.
  
 It’s simply to start small and begin to build new healthy habits one by one that will allow you to become your best self. Doing this will help you finally escape from the prison of your past so that you can be free to become the person you aspire. Many of you will recognize today's guest from her highly popular social media platform. Some of you have may have participated in her selfhealers circle or have reposted or have seen some of her viral content. I am very excited that Dr. Nicole LePera or as many of you know her The Holistic Psychologist is joining me on the show today. She is here to provide a masterclass on all things healing, including doing the inner work and holistic psychology.  As a clinical psychologist in private practice, she often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy.  Wanting more for her patients— and for self— she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves.  Her book “How to do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal From Your Past, and Create Your Self" is set to be released on March 9th but is available now for presale.  Her book should undoubtedly be on your must read list for the spring. 
  
 We discuss why fitness can be a catalyst for change, why therapy alone won’t heal you, how to stop feeling stressed and anxious when you have nothing to be stressed about, how to know if you have experienced trauma and how to develop self awareness and belief in yourself so that you can feel worthy and stop repeating old patterns, heal and thrive and more!

      <title>Best of 2021 #2: Arielle Lorre - A Deep Dive On Addiction, Recovery, Wellness &amp; Managing Anxiety</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/best-of-2021-2-arielle-lorre-a-deep-dive-on-addiction-recovery-wellness-managing-anxiety</link>

 Best of 2021 #2: Arielle Lorre - A Deep Dive On Addiction, Recovery, Wellness &amp; Managing Anxiety (Originally released 4/1/21)
  
 Today’s guest on the show is Arielle Lorre. You might recognize her from her hit podcast, The Blonde Files Podcast, or from her popular Instagram page, where she shares mouth-watering recipes, as well as incredible health and wellness tips.
 What really inspires me about Arielle is her recovery journey. After nearly losing her battle with addiction, Arielle decided to turn her life around by relentlessly pursuing health and happiness and by sharing what she learned along the way. Arielle just recently celebrated 7 years of sobriety.
 I am sure you are anxious to learn more about Arielle’s rise to success, but you will have to listen to the episode to hear the full story. But what I will say now, is that her addictions led her to being arrested for a DUI, she had multiple grand mal seizures, and she ended up blacking out periodically for several months before finally getting sober.
 Arielle opens up in detail about what led her down that destructive path, and more importantly, she shares her comeback story. We will also discuss how meditation, fitness, and community have helped her with her sobriety, and how she currently manages her anxiety in a way that is healthy and supports her recovery.

      <title>Best of 2021 #3: Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger on Finding Faith, Forgiveness, Hope and Freedom</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/best-of-2021-3-holocaust-survivor-dr-edith-eger-on-finding-faith-forgiveness-hope-and-freedom</link>
      <description>For this last week of 2021 (12/27-12/31) we have something special for you. Each day we will re-release one of the top 5 most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/3/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  Best of 2021 #3: Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger on Finding Faith, Forgiveness, Hope and Freedom (Originally released 2/15/21)
  
 Viktor Frankl states “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” 
  
 Unfortunate events, trials and hardships will always come. But what defines us isn’t the situation itself, it’s our response. Control what you can, focus your energy on the positive and have faith that things will get better. While this approach won’t guarantee you success, the alternative certainly will push you further away from it. My guest today is a survivor of one of the most horrific, challenging and dark times the world has ever seen: the Holocaust. As a teenager, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, one of the most horrendous concentration camps of that time. Dr. Edith Eger who is 93 years old, joins me on the show today. She is a highly sought after psychologist, author and keynote speaker. Edie, as her friends affectionately call her, obtained her doctorate in psychology and learned to use her imprisonment at Auschwitz as a powerful analogy for the prisons we create in our own minds. Her mission is now to inspire others to discard their limitations and find renewal and freedom within themselves. After becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author with her memoir, "The Choice," Dr. Eger wrote a hands-on guide to overcoming trauma called "The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life." It was released last fall.

  Best of 2021 #3: Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger on Finding Faith, Forgiveness, Hope and Freedom (Originally released 2/15/21)
  
 Viktor Frankl states “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” 
  
 Unfortunate events, trials and hardships will always come. But what defines us isn’t the situation itself, it’s our response. Control what you can, focus your energy on the positive and have faith that things will get better. While this approach won’t guarantee you success, the alternative certainly will push you further away from it. My guest today is a survivor of one of the most horrific, challenging and dark times the world has ever seen: the Holocaust. As a teenager, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, one of the most horrendous concentration camps of that time. Dr. Edith Eger who is 93 years old, joins me on the show today. She is a highly sought after psychologist, author and keynote speaker. Edie, as her friends affectionately call her, obtained her doctorate in psychology and learned to use her imprisonment at Auschwitz as a powerful analogy for the prisons we create in our own minds. Her mission is now to inspire others to discard their limitations and find renewal and freedom within themselves. After becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author with her memoir, "The Choice," Dr. Eger wrote a hands-on guide to overcoming trauma called "The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life." It was released last fall.

      <description>For this last week of 2021 (12/27-12/31) we have something special for you. Each day we will re-release one of the top 5 most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/3/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  Best of 2021 #4: Tony Horton - Creator of P90x Shares Why He Left Beachbody and His Journey of Reinvention (Originally released 2/18/21)
  
 Today on the podcast I have the pioneer in the online program creation space and the man that helped put the company Beachbody on the map with his revolutionary workout program, P90X. Listen, I have been a trainer now for almost a decade and I have seen many online workout programs come and go and this one has managed to weather the storms. I think you are going to really enjoy hearing more about the journey of Tony Horton. Tony is on the show today and as I hinted he is the wildly popular creator of the best-selling  P90X®fitness series. He is also a best selling author and one of the most motivating people you will ever come across. 
  
 He shares the ins and outs of how he went from training rockstars like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen to getting started with Beachbody and creating arguably one of the most popular fitness programs of all time. He is going to walk you along that path as well as talk about why he split from Beachbody and was actually “scared to death” afterwards. We discuss how Tony reinvented himself afterwards and what he is up to now. We also talk about a recent massive health scare that Tony experienced and how it impacted his mental health and how he has bounced back since.
  
 This episode is going to hit home with many and is going to help inspire and give you the tools needed to have success even when you have failed time and time again. You will also gain a lot of insight on how to truly create a meaningful transformation from one of the most popular fitness coaches of all time.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
  Tony’s workout routine
 How did Tony’s workout program start and how they do it when there’s still no social media
 The inspiration behind P90X
 Tony Horton and Carl Daikeler and how they met
 The most fulfilling part for Tony
 In life after Beachbody, how did the sequels end up doing, and which are the most popular ones
 Looking back, would Tony wish in some shape or fashion that he would have just stopped after P90x?
 What was the main reason behind why they parted ways 2 years ago?
 Did Tony feel like he was at a low point after he called it quits with Beachbody?
 Does Tony ask himself questions like, “Who am I? Who am I anymore without Beachbody?”
 Tony’s advice for the people that just can't seem to find success.
 Tony’s story about the illness he experienced years ago
 How did Tony’s health scare affect his mental health?
 Tony’s advice for someone to create a meaningful transformation

  Best of 2021 #5: Dr. Shefali On Healing Toxic Patterns, Setting Healthy Boundaries, Conscious Parenting and Embracing Divorce (Originally released 6/07/21)
  
 Today’s conversation is going to challenge you. It’s going to push you and hopefully open your eyes to different perspectives on subjects like divorce, healing, boundaries, parenting and relationships. My guest is not only a New York Times best selling author, she is also a clinical psychologist whose work focusing on parenting, family dynamics and mindful living is flat-out revolutionary. I am so excited to interview Dr. Shefali. You may be familiar with her paradigm-shifting books including “The Conscious Parent”. Her newest book “A Radical Awakening” will be the focus of our chat today. Dr. Shefali’s unique ability to blend clinical psychology with eastern mindfulness is quite inspiring and changing lives. Our conversation today touches on becoming aware of toxic patterns and taking the steps to heal from them. Dr. Shefali and I discuss the tricky subject of divorce. This includes her sharing her own recent experience with it and how she embraced her divorce and it led to massive personal growth. Dr. Shefali shares her thoughts on marriage and what she believes makes it work. We talk about the trendy topic of “boundaries” and how to set and uphold healthy ones specifically with family. We also cover conscious parenting, what Dr. Shefali does to be her best self and how to know if you are actually “healing.” and so much more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
  We why live a "pattern" and not a "life"
 How to recognize and heal toxic patterns
 The tricky topic of divorce Dr. Shefali's recent experience with it
 How she embraced her divorce and it led to massive personal growth
 What makes a marriage work?

      <title>Catt Sadler On Being Happy ALONE, Healing Unhealthy Patterns &amp; Conquering Self Betrayal</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/catt-sadler</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Catt Sadler. She is a three-time Emmy-winning journalist with twenty years on-air experience. Catt is well known for her work on E! Entertainment where she spent more than a decade contributing to E! News, E! News Weekend, Daily Pop, Live From E! and a myriad of network specials. She's also been a fixture on the red carpet covering high-caliber events and interviewing celebrities during awards season. Today she hosts the "It Sure is a Beautiful Day" podcast where she motivates her listeners to become the best version of themselves. 
  
 Today’s conversation is going to go in a completely different direction as we are going to spend quite a bit of time talking about her personal life and get into subjects such as healing, parenting, relationships, spirituality, personal growth and more!  
  
 What I discuss with Catt:
  0:00 Intro
 2:46 Does Catt like blind dates?!
 3:34 Catt shares her journey of “being enough”
 6:22 What prompted her healing journey?
 9:56 What caused her to repeat unhealthy patterns?
 12:47 Leaving something that is no longer serving you…
 17:06 The fitness achievement that changed Catt’s life
 20:26 Her unhealthy habits while she was working in entertainment 
 22:39 Life after leaving E! (Including how she reinvented herself)
 29:55 What were the game changers in her healing journey?
 35:52 Finding MEANING in the adversity 
 38:12 Was there a setback that became a BLESSING?
 44:03 Handling difficult conversations
 46:07 This interview she did went VIRAL
 49:39 Top lessons she’s learned in 2021 (one might SURPRISE YOU)

      <title>Young MOTHER Sentenced to FEDERAL PRISON: THIS is How Ingrid De La Mare-Kenny Fought For Her Freedom, Her Family &amp; Her LIFE</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/finding-hope-when-life-feels-impossible-w-ingrid-de-la-mare-kenny</link>
      <description>Ingrid De La Mare-Kenny is a French American entrepreneur, author and wellness expert. I was introduced to Ingrid through our mutual friend and rockstar human Lauryn Bosstick. I immediately became enamored with Ingrid’s story and wanted to dive into it on the show.  
 Ingrid’s life completely fell apart in her late twenties when she was arrested by the FBI and accused of internet fraud for selling jeans online. She was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison, which seemed quite harsh given the crime . She immediately appealed her case and fought tooth and nail for her freedom, her family and her life. Ingrid comes on the show today to share how clinging onto hope when her life felt impossible helped her win the appeal, overturn the sentence, be a mother to her kids and live to tell the story. 
  
 What I discuss with Ingrid:
 •0:00 Intro
 •2:37 What led to the FBI showing up to arrest her?!
 •6:15 FBI arrests, charges and indicts Ingrid
 •8:02 The timeline between the arrest and sentencing (&amp; appeal)
 •13:24 What kept Ingrid optimistic &amp; gave her HOPE?!
 •17:15 This is when she felt hopeless…
 •19:22 Ingrid’s “Con Air” experience (but worse)
 •27:57 When does she finally get released? (homeland security had to get involved)
 •32:20 How to keep going when the odds are against you
 •35:07 How she adjusted to life after prison (&amp; relationship with kids)
 •39:02 Why she started to share her story

 05:52 How he used challenges as a kid to his advantage (started a business when he was EIGHT)
 10:06 Transforming pain into success
 13:03 Running a business as an EIGHT year old
 18:05 How to be “SELF TAUGHT”
 22:06 Why success at a young age was UNFULFILLING
 25:52 How did he end up on Netflix?

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/molly-bloom-faced-90-years-in-prison-this-is-how-she-escaped-jail-time-saved-her-life</link>
      <description>Molly Bloom faced 90 years in prison and this is her story! 
 Today she comes on the pod to share her journey of what it was like running the world’s largest underground poker game and why that led to being arrested by 17 FBI agents and facing decades in prison. She reveals how she beat the odds, escaped the jail time and got sober.  Molly also talks about preparing for motherhood, what’s next for her and more!
 Molly Bloom is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of Molly’s Game which was adapted into an award-winning film by Aaron Sorkin. Her book chronicles her journey from college student to LA waitress to building and operating the largest and most notorious private poker game in the world, where she made as much as $4 million per year. Her games featured hundreds of millions of dollars and included players like Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck A-Rod and Tobey Maguire. She has appeared on media outlets such as Ellen, Vice, The Los Angeles Times, NPR and many others.
 What I Discuss with Molly:
  00:00 Intro
 02:04 How Molly started running one of the biggest poker games ever
 06:10 Why the game became like a “drug” for her (and how)
 12:24 When (and why) things took a turn for the worst
 17:13 Molly’s assets are seized (-$9M in bank account) &amp; 17 FBI agents arrest her
 20:38 How she remained optimistic before her trial (she was facing 90 years in prison)
 22:06 Did Molly end up going to prison?
 25:16 Molly explains her addiction journey
 28:44 What inspired her to get sober?
 34:40 How Molly is preparing for motherhood
 38:33 Life after Molly’s Game: What’s next for her? 
 41:50 How she cultivates power from within to transform her life 
 46:16 Simple tips for you to build something meaningful

      <title>Why Your Gut Is Draining Your Health w/ Dr. Will Bulsiewicz</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/the-warning-signs-of-an-unhealthy-gut-microbiome-what-to-do-to-fix-it-w-dr-will-bulsiewicz</link>
      <description>Is your gut slowly killing you? Find out why! Dr. B's episode was the MOST downloaded in 2020 and he comes back today for round two! 
 In this episode, Dr. B digs deep into how integral our gut microbiome is. Our gut health, as backed by science, affects our mood, our health, our energy, and how we connect with the people around us. Also, exercise and proper food intake is not enough to sustain a healthy lifestyle, you need to put your bowels in the right rhythm too!
 Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (@theguthealthmd), MD MSCI, (a.k.a. Dr. B) is a board certified gastroenterologist and gut health expert. Every day, he helps patients and members of his #plantfed community bounce back from restrictive and over-hyped diets, and into a whole new way of living and eating that produces the results they really want… permanently.
 What I Discuss with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz:
  00:00 Intro
 01:31 Welcome back, Dr. B!
 03:06 Is the hype on gut health justified?
 06:32 Have you heard of The White Lotus show?
 09:38 Time spent on social media takes away your self-time
 13:38 What is Dysbiosis?
 17:43 A supportive community helps us perform and persevere 
 23:56 We share our microbiome with people that we cohabitate with
 27:19 What’s really happening on the inside?
 28:59 Exercise without proper diet is just horrible
 33:31 Signs that tell you have gut issues
 37:14 Understand the root of the problem
 39:11 The big three of food sensitivity
 46:40 It’s not gluten sensitivity, it’s damaged gut microbiome
 49:55 Dietary choices that reduce health risks
 52:20 We need our bowels to be in a good rhythm
 55:58 Dietary approach that is plant predominant

      <title>From Drug Addict to Famous Mom Blogger &amp; Social Media Star: The Redemption Story of Tiffany Jenkins</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-drug-addict-to-famous-mom-blogger-social-media-star-the-redemption-story-of-tiffany-jenkins</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Tiffany Jenkins. Tiffany is the hilarious genius behind “Juggling the Jenkins”. She has over 6 million social media followers and counting! Tiffany is a wife, mother, best-selling author, content creator and recovering addict. While she is best known for her funny viral Facebook and YouTube videos, Tiffany is incredibly passionate about bringing awareness to mental illness. She speaks shamelessly, openly, and honestly about her past and addiction, as well as her struggles with depression and anxiety and has been featured on national television shows like The Today Show and The Doctors.
  
 Some things that Tiffany and I discuss:
  How she navigated early recovery after incarceration and how she currently manages her emotions and stress (&amp; what's the hardest thing she is still grieving)
 How she DEVELOPED faith in God during the most chaotic time of her life and what was the turning point was for her transformation (it involves her Dad)
 What was the root cause of her addictive behavior and when did her addiction begin to spiral out of control (&amp; how this involved her ex-boyfriend who was a police officer). 
 Advice for someone who has a loved one that is struggling with addiction and how to know the difference between “showing love” and “enabling” (As well as words of wisdom for someone listening that’s struggling with addiction)
 How creating content and starting "Juggling the Jenkins" helped Tiffany overcome postpartum depression and we talk about her most popular video and why it's so relatable.
 Tiffany reveals her top parenting tips and we also talk about different tools to get out of a rut
 And Much More….

      <title>Mark Wolynn On How To Heal &amp; Break The Cycle Of Inherited Family Trauma</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/mark-wolynn-on-how-to-heal-break-the-cycle-of-inherited-trauma</link>
      <description>Mark Wolynn joins me on the show today. Mark is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco and is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. His book It Didn't Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle was the winner of the 2016 Silver Nautilus Book Award in psychology and has been translated into 22 languages. His articles have appeared in Psychology Today, Mind Body Green, MariaShriver.com, and others. 
  
 Some things Mark and I discuss:
  How the cycle of generational trauma actually works (and an in depth look at how it’s different from other forms of trauma)
 Examples of how inherited trauma can impact your adult attachment style(s) and relationships 
 Signs and symptoms that you may have generational trauma and common triggers that you might experience
 Tools to heal and break the cycle of inherited trauma and how to know if present-day anxiety/stress is caused by current life events versus generational trauma
 Practical steps to improve the relationship with your parents (&amp; how to deal with parents that are problematic/have passed away) AND 3 ways unhealed parent relationships will impact your adult relationships
 Why you should pay attention to how much time you are looking at the past 
 And much more...

      <title>Madison Prewett On How to Find Courage &amp; Become Fearless When Life Gets Hard (&amp; Lessons Learned from The Bachelor)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/madison-prewett-on-how-to-find-courage-become-fearless-when-life-gets-hard-lessons-learned-from-the-bachelor</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Madison Prewett. Madi is most notably known for being a finalist on Season 24 on ABC’s The Bachelor in 2020. But, what is most compelling about her is what she did before to prepare for that experience and how she has responded after. She now uses her social media platform of nearly 4 million to encourage and inspire others to stay true to themselves and become courageous regardless of the peer pressure or challenge that they are facing.  Madi takes this same message to the next level in her new book “Made For This Moment: Standing Firm With Strength, Grace and Courage.” This book provides a behind the scenes look at how she navigated personal hardships in her life along with powerful insight on how to develop unshakable confidence, break free from labels and become the most authentic version of yourself. 
  
 Some things we discuss:
  The moment when Madi knew that her faith was REAL (and not just something she did because of her parents)
 How she avoided easily accessible things like drugs, alcohol etc. in college after growing up in such a disciplined home 
 Why it’s so important to prepare for hard times &amp; challenges (and how to do it &amp; also how to handle unexpected moments of challenge)
 How to become fearless and be more accepting of what life throws at you 
 Lessons learned from being on “The Bachelor” (and how it helped her conquer biggest fears)
 The 3 keys that help Madi remain confident during moments of adversity (and how Madi turned her pain into purpose)
 What to do on the days you are feeling unmotivated…
 And much more…

      <title>Simon Hill On New Revolutionary Nutrition Research &amp; Why Not All Science Is Created Equal</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/plant-proofs-simon-hill-on-new-revolutionary-nutrition-research-why-not-all-science-is-created-equal</link>
      <description>My guest today is my friend Simon Hill. Simon is a top nutritionist, working with folks like Chris Hemsworth, and hosts the Plant Proof podcast which is one of the top health &amp; fitness podcasts in Australia. Simon is a true expert on all things nutrition—he has a Master's in nutrition science and has other nutrition degrees from places like Cornell. His new book, “The Proof Is In The Plants”, made its global debut earlier this week and is already a bestseller and sold out nearly everywhere. The good news is that you can still get his book on Audible and the link to buy it is in the show notes. The book provides a deep dive into all things nutrition, highlighting the benefits of a whole-food, mostly plant-based diet. While Simon practices a vegan diet himself, he is not dogmatic about no meat, and even believes that meat, dairy, and eggs can all be part of a very healthy diet. (He thinks the diet wars between the various groups are counterproductive.)
  
 Some of the things I discuss with Simon:
  Why controversial foods like Soy and Dairy CAN be HEALTHY
 Why all SCIENCE isn’t created EQUAL (and what the hierarchy of science is)
 How eating processed foods leads to overconsumption of calories
 Foods that increase/decrease your lifespan
 What to look for when choosing health accounts to follow on social media
 How to be plant-based AND eat animal products
 Simple wins to move towards eating an optimal diet (and what the science says about this)
 Cutting edge research on dairy, fermented foods, dark leafy greens and berries.
 And much more...

      <title>Dirty John’s Terra Newell On the REAL Dirty John story, Her Healing Journey &amp; How To Take Precaution While Dating</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dirty-johns-terra-newell-on-the-real-dirty-john-story-her-healing-journey-how-to-take-precaution-while-dating</link>
      <description>Terra Newell is a real life hero, survivor and lucky to be alive. Terra was attacked on August 20, 2016 in her apartment complex by John Meehan, her mother’s estranged husband. Terra fought him off and ended up fatally wounding him while doing so. Her story is at the center of the highly popular series and podcast, Dirty John. She joins me on the podcast today to talk in-depth about what REALLY went down with the Dirty John story. 
  
 Some things we discuss:
  
  How John Meehan presented himself initially and conned Terra’s family.
 How did the situation begin to unravel and when did things start to take a turn for the worst
 Terra's prior self-defense training and how she knew the attack was coming.
 Terra narrates in detail what happened when she was attacked and what transpired afterward with her mother and law enforcement. 
 How Terra healed from such a traumatic event and what her current relationships are like.
 Why toxic relationships are so hard to leave and how to exit one safely.
 And much more!

      <title>Almost 30’s Krista Williams &amp; Lindsey Simcik On Finding Your “Why,” Spirituality &amp; Becoming The Best Version of Yourself</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/almost-30s-krista-williams-lindsey-simcik-on-finding-your-why-spirituality-becoming-the-best-version-of-yourself</link>
      <description>Today I am joined by Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik. They are the co-hosts of the highly popular podcast, Almost 30. Almost 30 is the go-to podcast for heart-centered, hilarious conversations and real, raw, impactful interviews with brilliant guests. The show has been downloaded over 30 million times and has been hailed as “The Best Wellness Podcast to Listen To Right Now” by Covetuer and nominated for “Best Wellness Podcast” and “Best Spirituality Podcast” by iHeart Radio.
  
 In this episode, we take a deep dive into:
  The Importance of finding your “why” and how that will help you trust the process and overcome challenges (how this relates to purpose as well). 
 Different forms of spirituality and how they can be used as a catalyst for personal growth.
 The reasons why we fall into “the comparison trap” (and how to avoid it) and how it differentiates between men and women.
 Why “wellness” isn’t just what you see in the mirror and what else you should measure.
 How moving thousands of miles apart actually improved their brand and brought Krista and Lindsey closer together (and how they did it).
 The do’s and don’t’s of starting a podcast (and how this can be applied to anything).
 And much more…

      <title>AGT’s Matt Mauser On His Intimate Relationship With Kobe Bryant &amp; Grieving The Loss Of His Soulmate</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/agts-matt-mauser-on-his-intimate-relationship-with-kobe-bryant-grieving-the-loss-of-his-soulmate</link>
      <description>Matt Mauser is a songwriter, solo artist, pop/rock bandleader having spent more than two decades onstage and writing music. As of late, music has also become therapeutic for Matt, who lost his wife Christina in the January 2020 helicopter crash that also killed NBA great Kobe Bryant. Kobe and Matt became close when he hired Matt to create music for some projects of his. Kobe and Christina also worked together, coaching a girls' basketball team at the Mamba Sports Academy. Their loss was tragic to so many and it was unspeakably tough for Matt. 
 Matt’s latest hit "Lost," was written during the aftermath of Christina's passing, the song reaches out to those who've experienced similar losses in their own lives. Millions of hearts were touched during his performance at America’s Got Talent earlier this year where he shared his devastating story while his 3 kids cheered him on. While he didn’t win the competition, he won the bigger battle by inspiring his kids to find light during times of darkness and to inspire them to chase their dreams.
 Today we get into the evolution of Matt’s journey as a musician, how he met Christina and the role she played in his music career. Matt and I chat about his intimate relationship with Kobe, what he really was like and the impact that Kobe had on his family. We also get deep on Matt’s grieving process after the crash, how fatherhood has changed, what’s next for him and more!

      <title>Tayler Harber on How Going to Prison For Armed Robbery Saved Her Life</title>

      <description>TikTok star Tayler Harber on How Going to Prison For Armed Robbery Saved Her Life!!!
  
 Just 4 years ago 19 year old Tayler Harber thought her life was over when she went to prison for armed robbery.  But, today she has gained over a million followers on Tiktok where she uses her platform to turn her pain into purpose. Tayler was a 3 sport athlete and a model student in grade school. But, after a fight in high school became quite public, Tayler was banned from playing sports her senior year and it devastated her.  She went on to barely graduate and her life started to fall apart.  Tayler ended up getting caught up in the wrong crowd and began using hard drugs to numb the pain.  Things went downhill fast and one year after graduating high school, Tayler would be arrested on armed robbery charges. This came after a botched attempt to rob a drug dealer with a few friends of hers at the time. She was taken to jail, charged and a $250,000 bond was set for her release. Despite a heartwarming plea to the judge for some mercy for being a first-time offender, she was sentenced to prison. Shortly after her incarceration, she entered a prison boot camp program that would end up saving her life. Today she is here to walk you through exactly how she went from that prison cell to using her 1M+ social media platform to share her story, break the stigma and inspire others.

      <title>Scott Evans on What It Takes To Make Your Dreams a Reality</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/access-hollywoods-scott-evans-on-what-it-takes-to-make-your-dreams-a-reality</link>
      <description>Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans joins me on the pod today. You may also recognize this highly passionate Emmy-nominated Entertainment journalist from hosting other shows like The World of Dance or OWN tonight on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The newest show he is MCing “America’s Big Deal” premieres on Thursday on the USA network. This show is the first-ever live, shoppable competition series that will help celebrate entrepreneurs from all backgrounds with a life-changing deal to help make their dreams come true. While you may think this convo will focus on celebrities given Evans's background, that is far from the truth. Scott’s “come up” story that he shares is quite inspiring and the wisdom he dishes out from his experience and failures is something that I think you will greatly appreciate and relate to. We also chat in-depth about practical steps you must take to achieve any goal or dream and his advice for those who feel they are so far behind. Scott will give you a behind-the-scenes look at his latest show and why he’s so excited about this new passion project.  We also get into how Oprah helped change his life financially and the biggest thing we misunderstand about celebrities and more!

      <title>How Discomfort Helps You Improve Your Mental Health, Build Confidence &amp; Live Happier w/ Michael Easter</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/how-discomfort-can-help-improve-your-mental-health-build-confidence-live-happier-w-michael-easter</link>
      <description>Michael Easter is a leading voice on how humans can integrate modern science and evolutionary wisdom for improved health, meaning, and performance in life and at work. He travels the globe to embed himself with brilliant thinkers and people living at the extremes. 
  
 He is the author of best selling book, "The Comfort Crisis" which has been adopted by Major League Baseball teams, top-ranked NCAA D1 football programs, top-tier universities and law programs, major corporations, tier-one military units, and more. Michael’s work has appeared in over 60 countries. It’s been endorsed by directors of the CIA and Navy SEALs, gold medal-winning Olympians, leading physicians, Pulitzer Prize-winning authors, Buddhist and environmental leaders, and more. 
  
 While Michael has taken a variety of intense life-changing trips including a 30-day adventure to the arctic of Alaska, he states that out of all the extreme endeavors he has done, getting sober was the hardest. 
  
 Michael is a contributing editor at Men’s Health, a columnist at Outside Magazine, and is a journalism professor at UNLV. 
  
 In this episode, Michael shares his sobriety journey including what led him down the path of addiction, why he got sober, and how he learned to deal with the discomforts of early recovery. We chat about why people today are scared to get uncomfortable as well as certain stressors that are actually beneficial for us that we have done away with. Michael reveals daily things that ANYONE can do to push themselves out of their comfort zone and why you don’t need a sauna or a cold tub to practice discomfort. Our convo gets into the dangers of certain current parenting styles and how they can be detrimental to the health of their children. We also get into his experience surviving 30 days in the arctic and what inspired him to keep going when things got hard and more.

      <title>Getting REAL on Body Image, Athletics, Mental Health &amp; Disordered Eating w/ Victoria Garrick</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/getting-real-on-body-image-athletics-mental-health-disordered-eating-w-victoria-garrick</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Victoria Garrick. Victoria is a former Division I volleyball player, TED Talk speaker, podcast host, and mental health advocate. She was a four-year starter at USC, where she won a PAC-12 Championship and finished her career with the top five most digs in program history.
  
 Today she has well over a million followers on her social media platforms, hosts the “Real Pod” podcast, has a TED talk that has been viewed over 370,000 times, and founded a mental health nonprofit, “The Hidden Opponent.”
  
 What is really inspiring about Victoria is that her entire platform has been built from sharing her story. You may think that her incredibly successful collegiate career would guarantee happiness for Victoria. But like so many, the external accolades didn’t quite fulfill her internally and the immense pressure started to impact her mental health. During her sophomore year, Victoria found herself heavily depressed, anxious, battling an eating disorder, and experiencing body dysmorphia.  She finally reached a breaking point where she decided to go to therapy and unpack what was at the root of all of this.  After this, Victoria bounced back and returned to finish her junior and senior seasons and the rest is history. She has been on an absolute tear ever since to share her journey to help those that are experiencing similar struggles.
  
 Today our discussion on the pod encapsulates it all. Victoria will walk you through what rock bottom looked like for her, how she healed and got to where she is today. She shares what she felt were the contributing factors that caused her mental health demise and what helped her feel empowered again when she began her transformation. We chat about Victoria’s struggles with body image, why so many people face difficulties with this, and how to overcome it.  Victoria talks about her relationship with food today and how she deals with competition in her current line of work. She talks about what inspired her to start sharing her story and what she would change if she was in charge of youth sports and more!

 Today our discussion on the pod encapsulates it all. Victoria will walk you through what rock bottom looked like for her, how she healed and got to where she is today. She shares what she felt were the contributing factors that caused her mental health demise and what helped her feel empowered again when she began her transformation. We chat about Victoria’s struggles with body image, why so many people face difficulties with this, and how to overcome it.  Victoria talks about her relationship with food today and how she deals with competition in her current line of work. She talks about what inspired her to start sharing her story and what she would change if she was in charge of youth sports and more!

        <![CDATA[<p class="p1">Today’s guest is Victoria Garrick. Victoria is a former Division I volleyball player, TED Talk speaker, podcast host, and mental health advocate. She was a four-year starter at USC, where she won a PAC-12 Championship and finished her career with the top five most digs in program history.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Today she has well over a million followers on her social media platforms, hosts the “Real Pod” podcast, has a TED talk that has been viewed over 370,000 times, and founded a mental health nonprofit, “The Hidden Opponent.”</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">What is really inspiring about Victoria is that her entire platform has been built from sharing her story. You may think that her incredibly successful collegiate career would guarantee happiness for Victoria. But like so many, the external accolades didn’t quite fulfill her internally and the immense pressure started to impact her mental health. During her sophomore year, Victoria found herself heavily depressed, anxious, battling an eating disorder, and experiencing body dysmorphia.  She finally reached a breaking point where she decided to go to therapy and unpack what was at the root of all of this.  After this, Victoria bounced back and returned to finish her junior and senior seasons and the rest is history.

      <title>How To Have Faith When Life Gets Challenging w/ Dr. Tony Evans &amp; Anthony Evans Jr.</title>

      <description>How To Have Faith When Life Gets Challenging!!!
  
 I am super excited to share today’s episode with you and I think you will get a lot out of it whether you are a Christian or not. My convo today is with the legendary Dr. Tony Evans and his son Anthony Evans. 
  
 Many of you will recognize Dr. Evans, but for those who aren’t familiar he is the founder and senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, founder, and president of The Urban Alternative, and author of over 100 books, booklets and Bible studies. The first African American to earn a doctorate of theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, he has been named one of the 12 Most Effective Preachers in the English-Speaking World by Baylor University. Dr. Evans holds the honor of writing and publishing the first full-Bible commentary and study Bible by an African American. His radio broadcast, The Alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, can be heard on over 1,400 radio outlets daily and in more than 130 countries. Dr. Evans’ sermons are also streamed and downloaded over 20,000,000 times annually. 
  
 Anthony Evans has voiced the gospel for over 20 years and has emerged as one of Christian music’s premier worship leaders and singer/songwriters. Along the way, Anthony has released ten solo projects, (the last two climbing all the way to #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Album charts). In recent years, Anthony has been working in Los Angeles, where he appeared on NBC’s The Voice. His time on the show led him to be discovered and enlisted to perform and produce vocals for various major networks. His journey in LA has led him to think more progressively about his own music as he desires to communicate in terms that connect with people spiritually, no matter where they are in their journey with God, without compromising his own faith and message.
  
 Our discussion today is a deep dive into how to have faith during the various hardships and challenges that we all face and how Dr. Evans and Anthony were able to maintain such strong faith during such a tragic time in their lives.  We also chat about how to navigate through life’s storms and turn your pain into purpose. We talk about the divide that exists between Christians and non-Christians and what can be done to help create unity. Dr. Evans and Anthony share how they’ve dealt with grief and were able to grow stronger as a family. We also get into how to have faith if you aren’t a Christian and how shifting your perspective can make the biggest difference when faced with adversity and more!

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/the-surprising-truth-about-anxiety-and-how-it-can-actually-be-healthy-w-dr-wendy-suzuki</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Dr. Wendy Suzuki. Dr. Suzuki is a Neuroscientist and Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at the Center for Neural Science at NYU.
  
 Her research heavily focuses on brain plasticity and she is best known for her extensive work studying areas in the brain critical for our ability to form and retain new long-term memories.
  
 Dr. Suzuki’s Ted Talk has more than 31 million views on Facebook and it was the second most watched Ted Talk of 2018.
  
 She has also penned two books.  Her latest, “Good Anxiety: Harnessing the Power of the Most Misunderstood Emotion”  is an absolute masterclass on how to transform your relationship with anxiety and use it as a powerful tool for growth. 
  
 In today’s conversation, we talk all things anxiety including the different types and why it can actually be healthy for you. Dr. Suzuki and I chat about why so many people have a hard time dealing with anxiety and she also shares some different techniques that you can use to improve your relationship with anxiety both short-term and long term.
  
 We also get into the subject of neuroplasticity including what it is and why it plays such a pivotal role in your brain’s ability to handle anxiety. Dr. Suzuki and I discuss how changing your perception of anxiety can allow you to use it to your advantage. She also shares some things that exacerbate anxiety. We discuss the neuroscience of exercise and why it is so beneficial for improving your brain’s response to anxiety. She will reveal the most shocking thing she found when conducting her research on anxiety and so much more!

      <title>Discovering What Actually Makes You Happy &amp; Drives You To Be Your Best w/ Jonathan Fields</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/what-actually-drives-you-to-be-your-best-w-jonathan-fields</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Jonathan Fields. Jonathan is the best selling author of multiple books as well as the host/executive producer of the extremely popular podcast, The Good Life Project. Jonathan’s work has been featured widely in the media, including The New York Times, FastCompany, The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Entrepreneur, Forbes, Oprah Magazine, Elle, Allure, The Guardian, and many others.
  
 Much of our discussion in this episode revolves around his latest book “SPARKED: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work That Makes You Come Alive” which is designed to help you discover what actually lights you up personally and professionally. The book is largely based on Jonathan’s revolutionary “Sparketype” assessment that has helped over 500,000 people experience meaning, joy, purpose and fulfillment in the work that they do.  Our chat begins unpacking a few pivotal moments of adversity for Jonathan that have led to where he is today. Early in his life, he was forced to leave his financially stable job as an attorney after he literally nearly worked himself to death. He then went on to work in the health and wellness space and ended up opening a yoga studio the day before 9/11 in NYC. We talk about how Jonathan got through these unfortunate situations and how they shaped what he’s doing today. We get into certain ideas from his latest book including why it’s not always smart to leave your job and pursue a passion project and how to discover what drives and challenges you the most. Jonathan shares his thoughts on why experiencing the full spectrum of both good and bad emotions is actually beneficial to living a happy life. We also chat about the most common and least common Sparketypes and how each of them can have a dark side. Jonathan also shares how he deals with overthinking and impatience which is part of the dark side of his Sparketype.

      <itunes:summary>Today’s guest is Jonathan Fields. Jonathan is the best selling author of multiple books as well as the host/executive producer of the extremely popular podcast, The Good Life Project. Jonathan’s work has been featured widely in the media, including The New York Times, FastCompany, The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Entrepreneur, Forbes, Oprah Magazine, Elle, Allure, The Guardian, and many others.
  
 Much of our discussion in this episode revolves around his latest book “SPARKED: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work That Makes You Come Alive” which is designed to help you discover what actually lights you up personally and professionally. The book is largely based on Jonathan’s revolutionary “Sparketype” assessment that has helped over 500,000 people experience meaning, joy, purpose and fulfillment in the work that they do.  Our chat begins unpacking a few pivotal moments of adversity for Jonathan that have led to where he is today. Early in his life, he was forced to leave his financially stable job as an attorney after he literally nearly worked himself to death. He then went on to work in the health and wellness space and ended up opening a yoga studio the day before 9/11 in NYC. We talk about how Jonathan got through these unfortunate situations and how they shaped what he’s doing today. We get into certain ideas from his latest book including why it’s not always smart to leave your job and pursue a passion project and how to discover what drives and challenges you the most. Jonathan shares his thoughts on why experiencing the full spectrum of both good and bad emotions is actually beneficial to living a happy life. We also chat about the most common and least common Sparketypes and how each of them can have a dark side. Jonathan also shares how he deals with overthinking and impatience which is part of the dark side of his Sparketype. This episode is going to leave you feeling both inspired and empowered to embrace self-discovery and unpack what drives you to be your best.

      <title>Social Media Sensation Kat Stickler on Conquering The Fear of Judgment, Owning Your Life &amp; Never Giving Up</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/social-media-sensation-kat-stickler-on-conquering-the-fear-of-judgment-owning-your-life-never-giving-up</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Kat Stickler. She is one of the fastest-growing content creators and TikTok stars out there. You may recognize Kat from her hilariously viral videos on TikTok where she has nearly 8 million followers. Her videos are not only meant to help others laugh but also to provide hope and inspiration for her audience to become the best version of themselves. 
  
 Our convo today dives deep into some parts of Kat and her journey that you may not be as familiar with.  
  
 She and her husband built an enormous social media following and brand after having their daughter MK last year. Kat faced a huge setback when her marriage started to unravel and their separation went public. She shares the lessons that she’s learned and how she developed the courage to make a comeback. Kat discusses how she now handles discomfort and uncertainty and we also get into her innate gift of optimism. We chat about why she is dedicated to keeping the promises she makes to herself and how it transfers to other relationships. Kat also unpacks what she says to herself when she starts to experience self doubt and her advice for those that are not feeling “enough” and more!

      <title>Anna Lembke, MD on The REAL Connection Between Science, Addiction &amp; Recovery</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/anna-lembke-md-on-the-real-connection-between-science-addiction-recovery</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is one of the world’s leading experts on the neuroscience of addiction and recovery. Anna Lembke MD is Chief of the Stanford Medicine Dual Diagnosis clinic and Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Lembke has testified before Congress and consulted with governors and senators from Kentucky to Missouri to Nevada. You may also recognize her from her appearance on the hit Netflix movie “The Social Dilemma.” Aside from this, Anna has also written two books: “Drug Dealer MD” and her latest book, The New York Times bestseller “Dopamine Nation.” 
  
 Our conversation covers an array of important topics to help highlight the REAL connection between science, addiction, and recovery. Anna explains the neuroscience of addiction and how it affects the brain and decision-making. We get into how to prevent addiction, what to do if you are addicted and the different recovery options. Our convo gets into the subject of relapse including why so many fall back into their addictive behaviors even after sustained abstinence. We chat about how to thrive in early recovery and how to prevent relapse. We also cover how technological advances have impacted the current epidemic and discuss hidden addictions that you may be unaware of. Anna shares how she helps her patients with anxiety and depression and why using drugs to treat such things can actually backfire. Our discussion gets into current hot topics like the opioid epidemic, cannabis use and advice for parents when they have a loved one who’s struggling.

      <title>How to Get Out of a Rut &amp; Get Motivated w/ Bachelor Nation's Mike Johnson</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/how-to-get-out-of-a-rut-get-motivated-w-bachelor-nations-mike-johnson</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Mike Johnson. You may recognize Mike from his appearance on Season 15 of The Bachelorette or perhaps from Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise. You have also listened to his new hit podcast “Talking it Out.” I must say what most intrigued me about Mike wasn’t his reality television career, it was his backstory and how well he articulates the exact steps he used to get him out of one of the darkest moments in his life which we can all relate to.
  
 Mike quickly faced some unforeseen adversity as a kid as he was sexually abused and what came to follow was years and years of turmoil as he found himself becoming a bit of a rebel as he burglarized homes as a teenager and had unhealthy relationships with women. Mike then joined the Airforce and worked as an IT specialist for years before becoming a financial advisor 
  
 This is where things took a bad turn for him. Although financially, he was crushing it,  a relationship that ended with a woman that he was madly in love with broke his heart and led him down a path of self-sabotage, misery and depression. Mike’s path out of this rut was largely due to his obsession with personal development and self-discovery. He began working on his identity, his mindset, reading books, being of service to others, and exercising. 
  
 Today, Mike shares it all. He will walk you through step by step as to how exactly he transformed himself from someone that was completely heartbroken and hopeless to starring on one of the biggest reality shows that have ever existed. We also chat about a universal formula that can work for anyone who is struggling to get out of a rut and get motivated again. Mike highlights the process of being on the Bachelorette and our convo also gets into financial planning and Mike gives some of his top tips to become financially fit. We also discuss why adopting a lifestyle around something is much more important than having discipline and more!

      <title>DWTS Cheryl Burke on Recovering From Addiction, Body Dysmorphia &amp; Toxic Relationships</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/cheryl-burke-on-recovering-from-addiction-navigating-body-image</link>
      <description>Today’s guest on the show is Cheryl Burke. You might recognize her from reoccurring role as a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars which she will make her 24th appearance on in just a few weeks.
  
 What really inspires me about Cheryl is her recovery journey and her willingness to share so openly. She has gone through and overcome a lot. The trauma started by witnessing her parents divorce and being molested all before she entered Elementary school. This led to more debauchery as she found herself in and out of toxic relationships, not going to college and developing unhealthy habits around things such as alcohol. With all that said, there has been one constant in her life and that’s been her ability to dance. Her talents in dance led her to landing her spot on Dancing with the Stars roughly 15 years ago. Cheryl has won 2 mirror balls and was the first female professional to win on the show.
  
 Cheryl’s journey with alcohol, unfortunately, stayed with her throughout most of this process which included drinking before going on television.  3 years ago it all changed for her when she decided to get sober after her Father passed away. She was able to strong-arm her way through sobriety until this past summer when she hit a crossroads that led her to join the 12 step community to further her recovery journey. 
  
 Today we talk about it all. Cheryl opens up about what happened that made her enter AA after 2 1/2 years of sobriety and how it has helped her. We get into her back story and what led her to use alcohol as a way to numb the pain. Cheryl shares why even reaching the pinnacle of her career as a dancer left her feeling lonely and miserable.
  
 We discuss her comeback journey and what types of things have helped her transform the pain into purpose. Cheryl chats about why it was crucial for her to open up emotionally and how it has led to massive growth for herself and her marriage. She opens up about her struggles with body dysmorphia and of course we also get into Dancing With The Stars including why this season will be different for Cheryl and more!

      <title>How to Heal From Trauma w/ Dr. Nicole LePera, Dr. Shefali &amp; Gabby Bernstein</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/how-to-heal-from-trauma-w-dr-nicole-lepera-dr-shefali-gabby-bernstein</link>
      <description>Today's episode is going to focus on developing self awareness, healing trauma, boundaries, breaking free from old toxic patterns and creating new healthy ones. To do that, I have 3 of the best healing experts on the planet to provide insights on these subjects so that you can heal from your past and become your absolute best. You will hear parts of 3 previously released episodes with Dr. Nicole LePera, Dr. Shefali and Gabby Bernstein.
 The first part will feature a section from my previous chat with clinical psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Nicole LePera aka The Holistic Psychologist. You will hear us chat about why therapy alone won’t heal you and why you might get stressed or anxious for no reason. We also discuss self-awareness, understanding what trauma actually is and how to rewire your brain with healthy patterns and behaviors. We also get into buzzwords such as ego, boundaries, triggered, and more…
 In this next section, you will hear from clinical psychologist and NY Times best-selling author Dr. Shefali. We will discuss her best practices for healing including a step-by-step process on how to develop self-awareness around unhealthy patterns and create new healthy ones. Dr. Shefali explains how to actually know if you are healing. We also chat about boundaries, how to get get out of the victim mindset, and more. 
 The final part will feature a section from a previous episode with thought leader, personal development powerhouse, and NY Times best-selling author Gabby Bernstein. We discuss different parts of Gabby’s story including some of her more recent struggles and how she overcame them. Gabby and I chat bout how she deals with uncertainty and our convo also dovetails into a step-by-step process on how to shift negative thinking and create new belief systems. We also discuss how to align with your highest self and what you really must do to manifest what you want in life and more.

      <title>How to Improve Your Gut Microbiome, Brain Health &amp; Immune System w/ Dr. Emeran Mayer</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/how-to-improve-your-gut-microbiome-brain-health-immune-system-w-dr-emeran-mayer</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is world-renowned gastroenterologist and neuroscientist Dr. Emeran Mayer. Dr. Mayer is a distinguished research professor in the Departments of Medicine, Physiology, and Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He has over 35 years of experience studying how the mind and gut interact and how it all pertains to health and disease. His work has been supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and has published over 370 peer-reviewed scientific articles. He has also written two books of his own including The Mind-Gut Connection and his newly released book the Gut Immune connection.
  
 I felt like I could have spent all day talking with him as this subject is something that is extremely fascinating to me and it’s also very timely given the times we are in. Our conversation today is super informative and tactical and I can promise you that you will feel empowered to take action on your health after listening. We get into the nuts and bolts of it all. We discuss the mind-gut-immune system connection and why it is so important to take care of them all.
  
 Dr. Mayer shares why chronic stress is one of the most destructive things for your brain, gut health, and immune system and how to fix it. We chat about what else is at the root cause of poor brain and gut health and immune function and you will find out why what you eat plays such a pivotal role in all of this.
  
 He talks about what you can do to improve your gut health, brain health, and immune system and how to know if each of these is not functioning properly. Our convo also gets into probiotics and if in fact, they are actually useful as well as what you can do when your body begins to feel off balance. Of course, we get into how to know if all the systems are running smoothly if it’s ever too late to address your brain and gut health and so much more!

      <title>How to Know If You're Addicted to Love w/ Brianne Davis</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/how-to-know-if-you-are-addicted-to-love-and-sex-w-brianne-davis</link>
      <description>Have you ever cheated on your partner? Or flirted with people that you didn’t like or using people for attention? Or perhaps you continue to bounce from relationship to relationship? Maybe you feel like you can’t be happy unless you’re getting attention or in a relationship?  
  
 If you answered yes, you MAY classify as being a sex or love addict. But don’t worry, the conversation today will help you better understand if you really are one and what you can do about it.
  
 Today’s guest is Brianne Davis. Brianne is an actress. She’s a podcast host. She’s an author. But, her real claim to fame is that she is a recovering sex and love addict. Her addiction to love began when she felt a euphoric rush after cheating on her 8th-grade boyfriend and quickly evolved into years of debauchery. She has been sober from sex and love for nearly 12 years and ironically her then-boyfriend and now husband was the one to help her find some local meetings to start her transformation.
  
 We unpack it all today. Brianne shares her incredible story of overcoming love and sex addiction and the convo gets into who Brianne was in her past compared to who she is today. We discuss what it actually feels like to be a sex and love addict, what’s underneath all of it, and her response to those that think love addiction is an illusion. Brianne and I chat about the differences between sex and love addiction and how to know if you would classify as an addict, this actually might surprise you. We get into attention-seeking and social media and the role it plays in all of this as well as how she currently sets boundaries and handles her relationships of today including her marriage. Of course, we chat about how to do the work without going to meetings, if you should date during this process and how to have healthy relationships moving forward. Brianne opens up about the moment she knew her love was real and so much more!

      <title>The 5 Longevity Hacks You Must Do to Live Longer, Healthier &amp; Happier w/ Sergey Young</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/the-5-longevity-hacks-you-must-do-to-live-longer-healthier-happier-w-sergey-young</link>
      <description>Could you ever dream of living to 100? How about 150 or even 200? My guest today Sergey Young is on a mission to help you do just that. As a matter of fact, he wants to help ONE BILLION people live to 100. Sergey is a chemical engineer turned venture capitalist who founded the Longevity Vision Fund. His fund invests in companies that are making groundbreaking products, technologies and developments in the longevity space. Combine this with his passion for research and science and you get his book “The Science and Technology of Growing Young” which was released earlier this week. It’s an absolute game-changer. Filled with tools, tips, and tactics to help you live longer, healthier and happier his book is a must-read. When living longer gets mentioned there is a lot of pushback because of things like money, quality of life, and people’s level of happiness. If someone isn’t happy when they are 40, how can they be happy at 95? There is a lot of truth to that. This is why I am excited to share this episode with you today as we address just that. While living past 100 can definitely be very exciting, the focus of our convo today revolves around what you can do in real time to improve all facets of your health. Our discussion gets into Sergey’s backstory and what inspired his obsession with longevity, health, and aging. We get in-depth about his research on longevity and chat about things that take years off of your life and things that extend your life. He unveils the 5 longevity buckets that you must pay attention to live healthier, happier and longer. Sergey shares some shocking stuff about longevity including why and how your psychological age influences your physical age. We chat about nutrition, fasting, movement, and mental health and why they are so pivotal to reversing your biological age. Of course, Sergey debunks the common obstacles that people think about when they think about living longer and our convo also dovetails into the enticing subject of technology and which ones you can take advantage of right now as well as the one's you can look forward to that might help you live to see age 150 or 200.

      <title>Jake Paul's Sparring Partner Anthony Taylor on Training with Jake, His comeback Story &amp; Who Will Win This Sunday</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/anthony-taylor-on-training-with-jake-paul-his-comeback-story-why-he-and-jake-will-win-this-sunday</link>
      <description>By now I am sure you have heard of Jake and Logan Paul and how they are taking the sport of boxing to a whole new level. As you know, I have the utmost respect for anyone who puts themselves out there to achieve what they want in life and this is no different. With that said, Jake will face by far his toughest opponent yet, former UFC champion Tyron Woodley this Sunday. Tyron is a seasoned striker and much more experienced than any of the others that Jake has defeated. How does he prep for this? How does he take his training to the next level?
  
 Insert Anthony “Pretty Boy” Taylor who is also today’s guest. Anthony is an up-and-coming fighter and has won his last five fights. He is Jake’s full time sparring and training partner and they have a special relationship. A relationship so special that Jake gave Anthony an opportunity of a lifetime to fight boxer and “Love Island” star, Tommy Fury as an undercard fight the same night that Jake fights Woodley. To make things even more interesting, Taylor has a story of his own. Anthony is a former stripper turned fighter and hit rock bottom just a few years ago after losing a boxing match. He found himself on the verge of homelessness and was experiencing thoughts of suicide. With the help of a mentor and coach, he was able to revamp his mindset, get back on his feet and win a few fights. 
  
 Our conversation today gets into it all. Anthony shares his comeback story and how he made different choices and revamped his mindset to get to where he is today. We talk in depth about his incredible relationship with Jake Paul including how they met, what it’s like training with him, and lessons he has learned from Jake. Anthony reveals who he thinks will win this Sunday and what’s next for him whether he wins or not and so much more!

      <title>Having &amp; Raising a Child In Prison, Losing &amp; Regaining Custody &amp; How She Rebuilt Her Life After Incarceration w/ Jen Cutting</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/having-raising-a-child-in-prison-losing-regaining-custody-how-she-rebuilt-her-life-after-incarceration-w-jen-cutting</link>
      <description>One of my favorite conversations to have on the show are those that amplify incredible stories of recovery and hope. Jen Cutting has one of the wildest and most inspirational stories I have ever come across. Today Jen has been sober for nearly 4 years, is a recovery warrior, and works closely with the prison system to help other women. This would have seemed nearly impossible not long ago as Jen has been incarcerated multiple times for drug-fueled felony charges. In fact, she even had and raised her daughter while she was in prison. Today she will walk you through her shocking and moving journey that is filled with many highs and many lows. 
 Shortly after high school Jen met a man that was nearly 10 years older than her and that relationship gave her a taste of what manipulation, addiction and artificial love felt like. After breaking it off with him, she used his credit card to buy a plane ticket and move to Florida where she quickly got a job as an exotic dancer at a local strip club. On her 21st birthday she was introduced to cocaine, and that’s where things took a turn for the worst, as it quickly turned into a lifestyle. It got so bad, that she moved back to Staten Island before her 22nd birthday. While she thought it could be a catalyst to help her get her life back together it actually had the opposite effect. She met another man, began to strip at another local club and  was prescribed Vicodin after an injury. Jen was prescribed Vicodin for months and months after her initial script and found herself in the depths of opiate addiction. After her doctor left, she was forced to get her fix illegally. So, she found men at the club who could get her pills and eventually this lead to her trying and shooting heroin. The debauchery continued and she and her then-boyfriend were caught stealing to support their heroin habit. She was arrested on a grand larceny charge and sentenced to prison. She gets out and catches another grand larceny charge and ends up in a diversion program where she was able to kick the opiate addiction for good. Shortly after her release, she fell in love and became pregnant. After violating her parole, she found herself back in prison again but this time she was facing a much bigger challenge as she was pregnant and her due date was during her incarceration. She had and raised her daughter in prison. You would think that after all of this, Jen would finally throw in the towel. Well, she didn’t. She was arrested for selling meth and found herself incarcerated once again. To make things even worse, she lost custody of her daughter.  Today, she has full custody, has been sober for nearly 4 years, and is giving back by helping others in recovery and in the prison system. She is here to tell you the story of how this all happened and more.

      <title>How to Master Risk Taking, Changing Direction &amp; Overcoming Failure w/ Sukhinder Singh Cassidy</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sukhinder-singh-cassidy-on-how-to-master-risk-taking-changing-direction-and-overcoming-failure</link>
      <description>Today’s episode welcomes Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, a leading technology executive and entrepreneur, board member, and investor with twenty-five years of experience in founding and helping to scale companies, including Google, Amazon, and Yodlee. Most recently, she served as president of StubHub, which sold in 2020 for $4+ billion right before the pandemic and thrived under her leadership. She has been profiled in Fortune, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and The New York Times, among others. She has been named one of Elle’s Power Women, one of the Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company, and one of the Top 100 People in the Valley by Business Insider among many other accolades. 
  
 Our discussion today center’s around several topics that many struggles with failure, risk taking, and changing direction. If you listen to this episode in full, I guarantee you that you will feel more confident when facing these challenges. We chat about Sukhinder’s unexpected and abrupt departure from StubHub and how she handled that and used it as an opportunity for growth.
  
 Sukhinder and I get into the in’s and out’s of all things risk-taking including why you must take them, how to know if it’s the right one and how to do it the right way. She also talks about why proximity and protecting the downside are CRUCIAL when taking chances.
  
 We also chat about the different types of failures that you will experience in life, how to plan for them, overcome them and why you can actually learn and grow more from unplanned setbacks.

      <itunes:summary>Today’s episode welcomes Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, a leading technology executive and entrepreneur, board member, and investor with twenty-five years of experience in founding and helping to scale companies, including Google, Amazon, and Yodlee. Most recently, she served as president of StubHub, which sold in 2020 for $4+ billion right before the pandemic and thrived under her leadership. She has been profiled in Fortune, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and The New York Times, among others. She has been named one of Elle’s Power Women, one of the Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company, and one of the Top 100 People in the Valley by Business Insider among many other accolades. 
  
 Our discussion today center’s around several topics that many struggles with failure, risk taking, and changing direction. If you listen to this episode in full, I guarantee you that you will feel more confident when facing these challenges. We chat about Sukhinder’s unexpected and abrupt departure from StubHub and how she handled that and used it as an opportunity for growth.
  
 Sukhinder and I get into the in’s and out’s of all things risk-taking including why you must take them, how to know if it’s the right one and how to do it the right way. She also talks about why proximity and protecting the downside are CRUCIAL when taking chances.
  
 We also chat about the different types of failures that you will experience in life, how to plan for them, overcome them and why you can actually learn and grow more from unplanned setbacks.

      <title>The Health Trends &amp; Hacks That Actually Matter w/ mindbodygreen's Jason &amp; Colleen Wachob</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/these-are-the-health-trends-hacks-that-actually-matter-w-mindbodygreens-jason-colleen-wachob</link>
      <description>Today on the show we have Jason and Colleen Wachob founders of mindbodygreen. mindbodygreen is essentially a health and wellness conglomerate that reaches millions of people worldwide through their website, social media and podcast.
  
 mindbodygreen has been around for over a decade. I believe this is a result of their continued commitment to community and addressing all pillars of health. I also believe it’s a result of their incredible panel of contributing experts,
  
 In today’s chat, Jason and Colleen share each of their own health scares and how they led them to create mindbodygreen. They share why they believe their site has made it so long and the health trends that have made it through the test of time. 
  
 We get into mental health and why that needs to be a focus for their brand as well as the most eye-opening health info they have learned lately. Our conversation gets into what Colleen and Jason’s personal self-care routines look like as well as what’s next for mbg. 
  
 Our convo also dovetails into the trendy topic of supplements including which to take, why MindBodyGreen started formulating their own, and what sets their supplements apart from the rest.

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/mastering-your-response-to-stress-and-anxiety-a-convo-with-3-top-neuroscientists</link>
      <description>Today I have three of the top neuroscientists on the planet to help you better understand and manage your stress, anxiety and brain health. You will hear parts of 3 previously released episodes with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Dr. Jud Brewer, and Dr. Andrew Huberman.
 The first part will feature a section from my previous chat with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Ph.D. She stands among the top 1% most cited scientists globally for her revolutionary research in psychology and neuroscience.  Her TED talk on emotions has been viewed over 6 million times. In this section, she explains the science and evolution of your emotions one reactions as to how to change them.  You will also learn the real function of the human brain and what stress actually is and why it scientifically leads to weight gain. Dr. Barrett will share how words affect our brain chemistry and how to change how we respond to anxiety and other struggles.
 Then, you will hear from Dr. Andrew Huberman. Dr. Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor of Neurobiology ophthalmology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is also the host of the highly popular podcast, The Huberman Lab podcast. In this section, we take a deep dive into the neuroscience of the different reward systems of the brain, how they function, and how they relate to addiction. We also chat about cell phone addiction and the dangers of excessive screen time. You will also learn in depth about the stress response, how to use stress to your advantage, and science-backed tools to decrease stress immediately. 
 Finally, you will hear a section from a previous episode with Dr. Jud Brewer. Dr. Jud is a renowned addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist whose Ted Talk ”A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit” has over 16 million views on YouTube. Dr. Jud shares in depth about what anxiety actually is and how it can be directly related to your habits. You will also discover science-based, actionable steps that you can immediately take to understand, manage and mitigate anxiety. You will also learn some common anxiety myths and the important role that things like awareness, mindfulness and curiosity play into all of this and more...

      <description>Today on the show I have actor Vinn Sander. Vinn plays the lead role in many of the films that are created and produced by Dhar Mann. For those who aren’t familiar with Dhar Mann, he is a mission-driven entrepreneur with 52 Million+ followers, 22 Billion+ views &amp; one of the highest viewed content creators in the world. A good portion of these views come from his life-changing purpose driven films that address various topics that are relevant in society today. Vinn has been with Dhar Mann since nearly the beginning.
  He comes on the show today to chat about his acting journey shares how he met Dhar Mann and why the roles that he plays are different from traditional media and film. Vinn shares how he deals with uncertainty and the mental and emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a young actor. We talk about the power of fitness, how to deal with haters, and what the future holds for Vinn. Vinn also gives some tips on the do’s and don’t’s of creating content and advice to those who are looking to start something new and so much more!

      <title>A Deep Dive on Goal Setting, Human Optimization and Life Transformation w/ Onnit Chief Fitness Officer John Wolf</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/a-deep-dive-on-goal-setting-human-optimization-and-life-transformation-w-onnit-chief-fitness-officer-john-wolf</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is John Wolf of Onnit. Onnit is an Austin, TX-based health and wellness brand focused on encouraging a peak level of performance through the best in nutritional supplementation, health-conscious foods, and unconventional fitness equipment and training. 
  
 John Wolf is Onnit's Chief Fitness Officer, and an expert in unconventional training methods such as kettlebell, steel club, and suspension training. With 16-plus years of experience in the fitness industry, he has worked with rehab clients and athletes of all levels including Joe Rogan. He moves like Spider Man and can deadlift more than 500 pounds any day of the week.
  
 Our discussion today digs deep into John’s story and how fitness saved his life from the depths of addiction. John was hooked on different drugs including meth, alcohol, and cocaine. To overcome these addictions he completely transformed his habits and used exercise and martial arts to channel his negative behaviors into something positive. This all couldn’t have been done without the help of an unsung hero who found him on the side of the road drunk and drove him home. That can ride was the moment that ultimately led to him making the transformation for good. We talk about the ins and outs of his journey including what caused him to use the drugs and how he crawled out of the darkness.
  
 John shares more in-depth about Onnit and Aubrey Marcus including how they met, what Onnit’s mission is and how it’s different from other fitness companies. We chat about different mindset subjects including goal setting, overcoming plateaus, and the importance of the inner dialogue. Our convo also gets into different fitness topics like programming, how to stay consistent and how to know if your workout program is actually effective.
  
 John also talks about what it’s like to train Joe Rogan and more!

      <title>Nadine Artemis on Toxic Household Products to Avoid, Holistic Dental Care &amp; Using Essential Oils to Fight Stress and Anxiety</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/nadine-artemis-on-toxic-household-products-to-avoid-holistic-dental-care-using-essential-oils-to-fight-stress-and-anxiety</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Nadine Artemis. Nadine is an author, aromacologist/formulator, and a thought leader in the health and wellness and beauty space.
  
 Nadine is also the founder &amp; CEO of Living Libations which is a luxury line of serums, elixirs, and essentials oils for those seeking the purest of the pure botanical health and beauty products on the planet. 
  
 I have been wanting to have a conversation for some time on the show with regards to toxic beauty and household products and felt that given her expertise, experience, and compelling story Nadine was a perfect fit for the dialogue. 
  
 We chat about how she rebuilt her life after losing EVERYTHING after a fire burned down her home. Nadine shares how important gratitude was during that and how she was able to remain optimistic despite her horrific circumstances. She also provides some advice for those who feel like their life has fallen apart. 
  
 Nadine and I talk about some traditional household and hygiene products that you may want to avoid including certain types of toothpaste, soap, deodorant and mouthwash. Along those same lines, she also provides some holistic alternatives for you to consider that will help you improve your dental care, skincare and hygiene long term. 
  
 Our discussion also dives deep into essential oils and why quality matters. Nadine shares their tremendous healing power and how they can be used to help with sleep, stress, and anxiety.

      <title>Brad Lea on The Steps to Take to Optimize Your Mindset &amp; Guarantee Success</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/brad-lea-on-the-steps-to-take-to-optimize-your-mindset-guarantee-success</link>
      <description>Today on the show I have the dynamic and charismatic Brad Lea. He is the founder and CEO of LightSpeed Vt as well as the host of the highly listened to podcast, Dropping Bombs. Brad is known for being one of the top sales trainers on the planet and for providing no BS advice on life and business that will make you think twice about the choices you make. 
  
 Our conversation today gets into Brad’s 5 factors that will guarantee anyone success as well as how to let go of old friends and create new connections. Brad also unveils his 6 step process to hack and optimize your mindset so that you can become the best version of yourself.
  
 He shares the 5 life gauges that you should pay attention to and we also chat about his upcoming book “The Hard Way” and more.
  
 The theme of this convo revolves around choices. To get what you want in life it boils down to the choices that you make. Your choices and responses to your circumstances can either make or break you. So hopefully this discussion inspires you to choose wisely so that you can be your best and experience success.

      <title>A Masterclass on Understanding Drug Addiction &amp; How to Help an Addict Who's Struggling</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/a-masterclass-on-understanding-drug-addiction-how-to-help-an-addict-whos-struggling</link>
      <description>Today’s episode is not only timely but truly one of the most impactful and informative conversations you might hear. This conversation is about drug addiction. A report recently released stated there were over 93,000 drug overdose deaths in 2020 which is nearly a 30% increase from the year before. 
  
 My fear is that these numbers will continue to climb. This episode is going to be a masterclass on drug addiction and recovery. It is going to feature different parts from three previously released conversations surrounding these topics. We will talk statistics, causes and solutions. You will discover contributing factors and also hear a few transformation stories.
  
 The first part will feature renowned interventionist and hostage negotiator Heather Hayes as she provides some staggering statistics on what we are facing, what’s causing the epidemic and how to know if someone is having addiction issues. Then you will hear from health and wellness influencer Arielle Lorre and Internet personality Mike Majlak as they both share their riveting stories of overcoming addiction. The episode will then become more solution-oriented as you hear from Heather again on practical steps to take if someone is suffering with addiction as well as advice from Arielle and Mike. 
  
 My hope is that after listening to this conversation you will feel educated, hopeful, and inspired to take action or be prepared to take action if you or a loved one are ever suffering from addiction.

        <![CDATA[<p class="p1">Today’s episode is not only timely but truly one of the most impactful and informative conversations you might hear. This conversation is about drug addiction. A report recently released stated there were over 93,000 drug overdose deaths in 2020 which is nearly a 30% increase from the year before. </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">My fear is that these numbers will continue to climb. This episode is going to be a masterclass on drug addiction and recovery. It is going to feature different parts from three previously released conversations surrounding these topics. We will talk statistics, causes and solutions. You will discover contributing factors and also hear a few transformation stories.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">The first part will feature renowned interventionist and hostage negotiator Heather Hayes as she provides some staggering statistics on what we are facing, what’s causing the epidemic and how to know if someone is having addiction issues. Then you will hear from health and wellness influencer Arielle Lorre and Internet personality Mike Majlak as they both share their riveting stories of overcoming addiction. The episode will then become more solution-oriented as you hear from Heather again on practical steps to take if someone is suffering with addiction as well as advice from Arielle and Mike. </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">My hope is that after listening to this conversation you will feel educated, hopeful, and inspired to take action or be prepared to take action if you or a loved one are ever suffering from addiction. </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Links to full episodes featured in this conversation:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Arielle Lorre:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2"><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arielle-lorre-deep-dive-on-addiction-recovery-wellness/id1496406333?i=1000515322639"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arielle-lorre-deep-dive-on-addiction-recovery-wellness/id1496406333?i=1000515322639</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Heather Hayes:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2"><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heather-hayes-nation-thats-being-held-hostage-by-addiction/id1496406333?i=1000515777062"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heather-hayes-nation-thats-being-held-hostage-by-addiction/id1496406333?i=1000515777062</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Mike Majlak:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2"><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-drug-addict-to-internet-celebrity-redemption-story/id1496406333?i=1000518614684"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-drug-addict-to-internet-celebrity-redemption-story/id1496406333?i=1000518614684</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Connect with Arielle Lorre: </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Website : <a href="https://theblondefiles.com/">https://theblondefiles.com/</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ariellelorre">https://www.instagram.com/ariellelorre</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ariellelorre/">https://www.facebook.com/ariellelorre/</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ariellelorre">https://twitter.com/ariellelorre</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blonde-files-podcast/id1458992375"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blonde-files-podcast/id1458992375</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Connect with Heather: </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Website : <a href="https://www.heatherhayes.com/">https://www.heatherhayes.com/</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/heatherrhayes/">https://www.instagram.com/heatherrhayes/</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeatherRHayesInc">https://www.facebook.com/HeatherRHayesInc</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Connect with Mike Majlak:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/heybigmike">www.instagram.com/heybigmike</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMk0u-pViW-Ff4F9SAGcI4g"> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMk0u-pViW-Ff4F9SAGcI4g</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mikemajlak">www.twitter.com/mikemajlak</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Buy Mike Majlak's book "The 5th Vital":</p> <p class="p2"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Vital-Mike-Majlak/dp/B087L8DWZQ">https://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Vital-Mike-Majlak/dp/B087L8DWZQ</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Listen/Watch Impaulsive Podcast:</p> <p class="p2">Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGeBogGDZ9W3dsGx-mWQGJA"> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGeBogGDZ9W3dsGx-mWQGJA</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/impaulsive-with-logan-paul/id1442164847?at=1l3vwYf"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/impaulsive-with-logan-paul/id1442164847?at=1l3vwYf</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/36PzTdM4rvRPaJYdBW1ZNa">https://open.spotify.com/show/36PzTdM4rvRPaJYdBW1ZNa</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Connect with Doug:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/">www.instagram.com</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/dougbopst">www.twitter.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dougbopst">www.facebook.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2"><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Drew Manning on How to Actually Lose Weight and Overcome Addiction For Good</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/drew-manning-on-how-to-actually-lose-weight-and-overcome-addiction-for-good</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Drew Manning. Drew is a personal trainer, a New York Times Best Selling author and a podcast host. He is most notably known for his “Fit2Fat2Fit” journey where he purposely gained and lost over 60 lb to better understand himself, his clients and what it actually takes to achieve and maintain weight loss.
  
 We get into to the why, how and what of his weight loss journey as well as the lessons gained from doing it. I ask him if there was ever a moment where he was ready to give up and what he learned from the client perspective about the complexity of weight loss. Drew gets super vulnerable as our convo shifts into talking about his struggles with porn addiction. We discuss including how it’s evolution, how he overcame it started, how it evolved, how he overcame it and the role that religion played. Drew shares some specifics including tools he uses with his clients to help them optimize their mindset and overall health. We also chat about co-parenting and how he healed his relationship with his ex-wife after his infidelity and his porn addiction lead to their divorce. This convo is real, It’s raw and it’s one that I think y’all will dig.

      <title>Jessica Zweig on The Secrets To Creating a Brand That Lasts (And Why Everyone Must Build One)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jessica-zweig-on-the-secrets-to-creating-a-brand-that-lasts-and-why-everyone-must-build-one</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Jessica Zweig. Jessica is a branding expert and best selling author of  “Be. A No Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self-worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself."
  
 The book is a direct reflection of our conversation today as well as the principles and tactics she lives by and teaches at her premium branding agency Simply Be. Jessica has worked with many A-list companies including Google, Nike, and Microsoft just to name a few.
  
 Our discussion today is a masterclass on personal branding. We talk about why everyone needs to be thinking of themselves as a personal brand and how branding yourself can actually help you grow personally and not just professionally. Jessica unveils the blueprint to creating an image that lasts and what separates a “good brand” from one that is “spectacular.” She also shares why you shouldn’t go to social media to process your emotions and what she advises her clients to do instead.  We dive deep into what to post and how to really connect with your audience in an authentic way. Oh and by the way we also cover how Jessica was essentially bankrupt in every area of her life and how she turned it all around to create the ultimate comeback story.

      <title>Gabby Bernstein on How to Shift Negative Thinking, Align With Your Highest Self &amp; Manifest What You Want</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/gabby-bernstein-on-how-to-shift-negative-thinking-align-with-your-highest-self-manifest-what-you-want</link>
      <description>Today’s podcast is with thought leader and personal development powerhouse Gabby Bernstein. Gabby is a #1 New York Times Best Selling author and has written 8 books including “Super Attractor” and “The Universe Has Your Back.” She is also the host of the rapidly growing “Dear Gabby” podcast where she provides real-time coaching advice as well as conversations with inspirational guests. I tried to take our conversation down a slightly different path as we open our discussion with Gabby pulling one of her mantra cards to help set the tone for our chat. We then wasted no time getting into different parts of Gabby’s story including some of her more recent struggles and how she overcame them. Gabby and I talk about how she deals with uncertainty and our convo also dovetails into a step by step process on how to shift negative thinking and create new belief systems. We discuss how to align with your highest self and what you really must do to manifest what you want in life. Gabby also gives us a sneak peek into her health and wellness routine and how she optimizes her sleep.

      <title>Robert Cheeke and Matt Frazier on How to Get Healthy and Strong (While Being Plant Based)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/robert-cheeke-and-matt-frazier-on-how-to-get-healthy-and-strong-while-being-plant-based</link>
      <description>Today’s conversation welcomes Robert Cheeke and Matt Frazier co-authors of the newly released NYT best selling book, “The Plant based athlete.”Robert is a former champion bodybuilder, a long time vegan and founder of veganbodybuilding.com. The guy has put on a whopping 100 lb all while abstaining from animal products. Matt is also a veteran plant-fueled machine but has made his mark in the world of endurance sports as a marathoner and ultra runner. Matt is also the man behind the highly popular blog nomeatathlete.com.
  
 Together they have written a book filled with science and plant based athlete transformation stories. I want to preface this episode by saying that I am personally not plant-based nor do I think it’s the best approach for everyone. My intention with this conversation to share a different perspective and get the answers to the questions many ask regarding the subject of plant-based nutrition.
  
 We discuss the why, what and how of plant based nutrition and the benefits that come from with it and of course we get into the million dollar questions surrounding protein, supplementation and amino acids. 
  
 Our conversation also goes into how to course correct when eating more plants becomes challenging.  They also share something from their book will shock some non-plant based eaters as well as their personal stories.

      <title>Kelly Corrigan on Why You Must Listen More and Ask Better Questions To Build an Unbreakable Connection With Your Kids (Or Anyone Else)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/kelly-corrigan-on-why-you-must-listen-more-and-ask-better-questions-to-build-an-unbreakable-connection-with-your-kids-or-anyone-else</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Kelly Corrigan. Kelly has written four New York Times bestselling memoirs in the last decade, earning her the title of “The Poet Laureate of the ordinary” from the Huffington Post and the “voice of a generation” from O Magazine. She is also the host of the highly popular podcast, Kelly Corrigan Wonders as well as the PBS hit show “Tell Me More” where she has interviewed people such as Jennifer Garner and James Corden.
  
 Kelly recently gave a commencement speech to the 2021 graduates of the Walker School where she shared some life-changing wisdom on the importance of human connection. Here is a quote from her speech that I think you will appreciate helping set the tone for the convo today…
  
 “Great lives are made up of a series of great days. And great days are made up of a series of great connections.”
  
 Our discussion today centers around just that. We talk about the unbreakable bond that she had with her late father “Greenie,” how it was built, why it was so special, and some tips on how it could be replicated.  Kelly also shares why listening more and asking better questions is the secret sauce to building deeper connections and how you can apply it to specific types of relationships. We get into parenting and how to effectively communicate with your kids so that they feel safe, validated and connected. Kelly also chats about how she has healed from many painful moments in her life and some wisdom her Dad left behind that helps get her through tough times. Essentially this chat is about love. It’s about connection. It’s about humility. It’s about taking the focus off of yourself and putting it onto others so that you can live a life full of joy, fulfillment, and happiness.

      <title>Light Watkins on How to Easily Meditate, Trust Your Intuition and Embrace Discomfort</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/light-watkins-on-how-to-easily-meditate-trust-your-intuition-and-embrace-discomfort</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Light Watkins. Light is an author, thought leader, speaker and podcast host. But he is perhaps most recognized for being one of the world’s leading meditation experts. 
  
 I initially heard of his work from one of my best friends, Billy Delorbe. Billy knew that I struggled to stay consistent with meditation and recommended Light’s book “Bliss More.” I instantly felt connected to him.  The book is undoubtedly a game-changer for those looking to start or enhance their meditation practice. 
  
 Throughout the years, Light has continued to challenge himself with endeavors such as embracing minimalism as well as nomadic living. He launched a podcast called “At The End Of The Tunnel” and penned yet another book “Knowing Where to Look,” which was released a little over a month ago. 
  
 Today’s chat essentially covers it all. Light and I discuss what inspired his meditation journey as well as his advice for those looking to start. We get into how to connect to and trust your intuition.  Light shares the ins and outs of nomadic living and simple tips for someone who is looking to try it out. We also talk about how to adopt a simple and effective gratitude routine and the importance of embracing discomfort. Light talks about what he does to manage fear and what he’s been doing lately to challenge himself.

      <title>Josh Clemente on Why You Should Monitor Your Blood Sugar Even If You Aren't Diabetic</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/josh-clemente-on-why-you-should-monitor-your-blood-sugar-even-if-you-arent-diabetic</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Josh Clemente. Josh is the co-founder of Levels, which is the first consumer program that lets an individual know how food and lifestyle choices are directly affecting blood sugar and metabolic health, in real-time. They pair glucose monitoring with intelligent software to support healthy blood sugar levels. Some early users have included professional athletes, biohackers, the weight loss community and other health enthusiasts.
  
 This chat serves as a great follow-up to the convo I had with Cyrus Khambatta on the pod not too long ago where we dove deep into the topics of insulin resistance and diabetes. I definitely invite you to check that episode out if you missed it.
  
 The dialogue today with Josh certainly will touch on these subjects, but we spend quite a bit of time chatting about the incredible technology he has helped to create and the data that has come from it. 
  
 Josh is also a mechanical engineer and CrossFit-L2 trainer. At SpaceX, he led a team to develop life support systems that in May of 2020 began sustaining astronauts on trips to and from the International Space Station aboard Crew Dragon: the first human-rated commercial spacecraft in history.
  
 In our conversation, Josh walks you through his “adversity advantage” story and share why he decided to leave working for SpaceX after experiencing a health scare of his own that led him down a path of self-discovery that changed his life and inspired him to co-found Levels. Josh shares the benefits of using a continuous glucose monitor and how it can help shift the way we treat metabolic health issues. We talk about how certain foods affect insulin and how some widely promoted health foods can actually negatively impact blood sugar levels. Josh talks about how exercise impacts your metabolic health and flexibility and how certain types of exercise impact blood glucose levels. Our discussion also dovetails into sleep and stress and how they all play into this equation and what you can do to use them to your advantage. Levels is currently in “beta” and not available to the public.
  
 But, Josh has created a special page for y’all if you want to bypass the 115k + waitlist and purchase one now.  The link to purchase is below...

      <title>Adam "Smiley" Poswolsky on How to Create Connection and Rebuild Relationships in an Age of Loneliness and Isolation</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/adam-smiley-poswolsky-on-how-to-create-connection-and-rebuild-relationships-in-an-age-of-loneliness-and-isolation</link>
      <description>How to Create Connection and Rebuild relationships in an Age of Loneliness and Isolation!!!!
  
 One of the hardest things about these last 15 months or so has been the inability for many to see loved ones, friends and co-workers in person. Things like loss of connection and feelings of loneliness and isolation have caused so much havoc on the health of so many people and social media and technology have quickly risen to take the place of these interpersonal connections which isn’t the greatest alternative.
  
 While the pandemic could be the easy thing to blame for these issues, I am afraid they started long before. It has been reported that the average American hasn’t made a new friend in 5 years which is disheartening. I think by now we all know the benefits of deep personal connections and relationships. Studies show that they help us live longer, feel better and improve our health. With that said, I couldn’t think of a better time to talk about this topic. 
  
 Meet today’s guest and connection guru Adam Smiley Poswolsky. Smiley is a millennial workplace expert, motivational speaker, and author. He helps companies attract, retain, and empower millennial talent, and has inspired thousands of professionals to be more engaged at work. He has a Ted talk that has been viewed more than 1.5 million times, and has spoken in 20 countries about millennials, multigenerational engagement, and fostering connection and belonging in the workplace. His latest book FRIENDSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS: AN OPTIMIST’S GUIDE TO CONNECTION essentially gives the readers simple and effective habits for starting new relationships and strengthening existing ones which will be the focus of our discussion in this episode.
  
 And today’s conversation is going to educate you on what’s at the root cause of these feelings of loneliness and isolation while ultimately giving you the blueprint and the tools needed to create connections and rebuild relationships so that you can live a happier, healthier, and longer life.

        <![CDATA[<p class="p1">How to Create Connection and Rebuild relationships in an Age of Loneliness and Isolation!!!!</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">One of the hardest things about these last 15 months or so has been the inability for many to see loved ones, friends and co-workers in person. Things like loss of connection and feelings of loneliness and isolation have caused so much havoc on the health of so many people and social media and technology have quickly risen to take the place of these interpersonal connections which isn’t the greatest alternative.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">While the pandemic could be the easy thing to blame for these issues, I am afraid they started long before. It has been reported that the average American hasn’t made a new friend in 5 years which is disheartening. I think by now we all know the benefits of deep personal connections and relationships. Studies show that they help us live longer, feel better and improve our health. With that said, I couldn’t think of a better time to talk about this topic. </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">Meet today’s guest and connection guru Adam Smiley Poswolsky.

      <title>Dr. David Rabin on How to Train Your Brain To Decrease Anxiety Faster and Manage Stress Better</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-david-rabin-on-how-to-train-your-brain-to-decrease-anxiety-faster-and-manage-stress-better</link>
      <description>Today's guest is Dr. David Rabin, MD, PhD. Dr. Rabin is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and health tech entrepreneur who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than a decade. He is also the co-founder &amp; chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience, which has developed the first scientifically validated wearable technology that actively improves energy, focus &amp; relaxation, using a novel touch therapy that signals safety to the brain.
  
 Dr. Dave has always been fascinated by consciousness and our inherent ability to heal ourselves from injury and illness. With that said, he has specifically focused his research on the clinical translation of non-invasive therapies for patients with treatment-resistant illnesses like PTSD and substance use disorders.
  
 Dr. Rabin is the co-founder and executive director of the Board of Medicine, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of physicians and scientists establishing the first peer-reviewed, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the production and safe use of currently unregulated alternative medicines, including plant medicines. The Board of Medicine trains and certifies healthcare providers, and provides quality control standards for complementary and alternative medicines to support high-quality clinical research, best practices, and risk-reduction.
  
 In Today’s conversation, we talk all things stress including the different types and which is one actually good for you. Dr. Rabin shares exactly what happens on a biological and physiological level when we are experiencing stress and the different tools you can use to better manage it. We also get into the recurring theme of anxiety and a few specific coping skills that will instantly reduce it. Dr. Rabin explains what he believes is the root cause of addiction and what he feels is the biggest flaw in addiction treatment. Dr. Rabin also discusses the benefits of plant medicine and other alternative treatments, how to do it, and most importantly how to know it's appropriate for you.

      <title>Kate Cohen and Alexander Vesely-Frankl on Why Kids Are Struggling With Their Mental Health (And What We Can Do About It)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/kate-cohen-and-alexander-vesely-frankl-why-kids-are-struggling-with-their-mental-health-and-what-we-can-do-about-it</link>
      <description>Today’s conversation is going to hit home with so many because we are talking about kids. We are going to discuss mental health issues among children and adolescents.  According to a recent CDC report, ER visits for suspected suicide attempts were up 50% among teenage girls in the winter months of 2021 as compared to the same time frame in 2019. The CDC also reported that suicide was the 2nd leading cause of death in 2019 for people between the ages 10-34.  It’s absolutely frightening. Rates of depression, anxiety, addiction, and prescription medications have also soared. What’s the answer? What needs to change? What can be done?
  
 While we all wish we could just wave a magic wand and cure this horrific epidemic, it’s clearly not that simple. With that said, a great first step is raising awareness which is what my two guests today are doing.
  
 Meet Kate Cohen and Alexander Vesely-Frankl. Kate is a producer and co-founder of Straight Up Films which she started with Marisa Polvino in 2008. Kate has worked with many A-List celebrities including Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman, and Morgan Freeman. Their latest endeavor, Straight Up Impact which Kate and Marisa started along with Pam Roy is on a mission to create commercial films that inspire audiences to enact social change. This includes “Man’s Search for Meaning,” a film adaptation of the highly popular memoir by Viktor Frankl. Tony Robbins and screenwriter Angela Workman are involved in the making of the film as is Alexander Vesely-Frankl a licensed psychotherapist and the grandson of the late Viktor Frankl. Alexander has also collaborated with Straight Up Impact to help create a compelling short film series entitled “Meaning in Madness” addressing the root causes of the current mental health crisis among our youth.
  
 We will be discussing two of these films today, one of which is called “Mackenzie” chronicling the real-life experiences of a 17-year-old high school student as she struggles to perform well in a demanding school while privately coping with depression.  We also chat about their other film “Luna,” follows a 15-year-old girl who shares her experience growing up on prescribed psychiatric medication since she was 8 years old.
  
 Today we cover it all. We talk about what brought Alexander and Kate together to do this and discuss the premise and mission of their current projects. We have an in-depth discussion about what is causing the massive spike of the mental health issues of kids and the role that the school system, expectations, environment and performance-based metrics are playing. We get into what the school system could do differently, why it needs an overhaul, and how parents can know if their child is struggling. They share how Viktor Frankl’s pioneering therapeutic approach could help and why having “meaning” and “purpose” is crucial for thriving at any point in life. Our convo also gets into prescription medication and how it’s affecting the health of the youth.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What brought Kate and Alexander together to do these projects? 
  
 What's the main mission behind their films? 
  
 What are the issues that are causing the spike of kids struggling with their mental health?
  
 How can people give the message to kids in a way that they can relate to and understand, so that it's on their level, and they're inspired to change their perspective and take some action for the positive?
  
 If given a chance, what’s something that Kate and Alexander would add to the school system
  
 How meaningful is stress?
  
 What would Kate or Alex tell people about their film, the premise of it, what it's about, and what they can expect to get from it
  
 What advice can Kate give to parents so they could see the signs if a kid is struggling
  
 The importance of acceptance
  
 What could the school system do differently?
  
 The impact of technology and social media on kids

The CDC also reported that suicide was the 2nd leading cause of death in 2019 for people between the ages 10-34.  It’s absolutely frightening. Rates of depression, anxiety, addiction, and prescription medications have also soared. What’s the answer? What needs to change? What can be done?</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">While we all wish we could just wave a magic wand and cure this horrific epidemic, it’s clearly not that simple. With that said, a great first step is raising awareness which is what my two guests today are doing.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Meet Kate Cohen and Alexander Vesely-Frankl. Kate is a producer and co-founder of Straight Up Films which she started with Marisa Polvino in 2008. Kate has worked with many A-List celebrities including Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman, and Morgan Freeman. Their latest endeavor, Straight Up Impact which Kate and Marisa started along with Pam Roy is on a mission to create commercial films that inspire audiences to enact social change. This includes “Man’s Search for Meaning,” a film adaptation of the highly popular memoir by Viktor Frankl. Tony Robbins and screenwriter Angela Workman are involved in the making of the film as is Alexander Vesely-Frankl a licensed psychotherapist and the grandson of the late Viktor Frankl. Alexander has also collaborated with Straight Up Impact to help create a compelling short film series entitled “Meaning in Madness” addressing the root causes of the current mental health crisis among our youth.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">We will be discussing two of these films today, one of which is called “Mackenzie” chronicling the real-life experiences of a 17-year-old high school student as she struggles to perform well in a demanding school while privately coping with depression.  We also chat about their other film “Luna,” follows a 15-year-old girl who shares her experience growing up on prescribed psychiatric medication since she was 8 years old.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Today we cover it all. We talk about what brought Alexander and Kate together to do this and discuss the premise and mission of their current projects. We have an in-depth discussion about what is causing the massive spike of the mental health issues of kids and the role that the school system, expectations, environment and performance-based metrics are playing. We get into what the school system could do differently, why it needs an overhaul, and how parents can know if their child is struggling. They share how Viktor Frankl’s pioneering therapeutic approach could help and why having “meaning” and “purpose” is crucial for thriving at any point in life. Our convo also gets into prescription medication and how it’s affecting the health of the youth.</p> <p> </p> <p>Topics discussed:</p> <p> </p> <p>What brought Kate and Alexander together to do these projects? </p> <p> </p> <p>What's the main mission behind their films? </p> <p> </p> <p>What are the issues that are causing the spike of kids struggling with their mental health?</p> <p> </p> <p>How can people give the message to kids in a way that they can relate to and understand, so that it's on their level, and they're inspired to change their perspective and take some action for the positive?</p> <p> </p> <p>If given a chance, what’s something that Kate and Alexander would add to the school system</p> <p> </p> <p>How meaningful is stress?</p> <p> </p> <p>What would Kate or Alex tell people about their film, the premise of it, what it's about, and what they can expect to get from it</p> <p> </p> <p>What advice can Kate give to parents so they could see the signs if a kid is struggling</p> <p> </p> <p>The importance of acceptance</p> <p> </p> <p>What could the school system do differently?</p> <p> </p> <p>The impact of technology and social media on kids</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Kate and Alex (Straight Up Impact)</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>Website: <a href="https://straight-up-impact.com/">https://straight-up-impact.com/</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/straightupimpact/">https://www.instagram.com/straightupimpact/</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/straightupimpact">https://www.facebook.com/straightupimpact</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcFBD06p9tPa6I-7HTmj2Lg">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcFBD06p9tPa6I-7HTmj2Lg</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Kate's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/katecohendavis/">https://www.instagram.com/katecohendavis/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Alexander's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alex_d_vesely/">https://www.instagram.com/alex_d_vesely/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug:</p> <p> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/dougbopst">https://twitter.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst/">https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.dougbopst.com">https://www.dougbopst.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Farrah Brittany on Navigating Body Image Issues, Dealing With Haters, Building Confidence and Real Estate Trends That May Surprise You</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/farrah-brittany-on-navigating-body-image-issues-dealing-with-haters-building-confidence-and-real-estate-trends-that-may-surprise-you</link>
      <description>Farrah Brittany joins me on the show today. Farrah is one of the top realtors in Los Angeles and as well one of the founding members of The Agency,  a luxury real estate firm. Farrah is also the daughter of reality TV star Kyle Richards so you may recognize her from her appearances on the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
  
 Since the start of her career, Farrah has impressively helped close more than $386 million in overall sales. Her early success earned her the 2014 Outstanding Rookie Award from LuxuryRealEstate.com as well as Rookie Salesperson of the Year by The National Sales and Marketing Council in 2016. Farrah has also been named #66 on the L.A. Business Journal’s 500 Most Influential people of 2018. 
  
 In today’s conversation, we dive into parts of Farrah’s journey that you may not be as familiar with. We talk about what inspired her to make the move from psychology into real estate. Farrah gets vulnerable as we cover intimate subjects such as body image, family dynamics, nepotism, and carving out her own identity. We talk about confidence and the steps she takes to build it as well as her routines to support it.  Our discussion also touches on the truths and trends of the real estate market and why it’s so hot right now.

      <title>Luke Storey on Addiction, Sobriety, Plant Medicine and Healing Trauma</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/luke-storey-on-addiction-sobriety-plant-medicine-and-healing-trauma</link>
      <description>Luke Storey is the host of the highly popular The Life Stylist Podcast. He is also a writer and meditation/metaphysics teacher whose passion revolves around the topics of health, addiction, recovery and spirituality. 
  
 Today Luke is a thought leader in the health and wellness space. But this wasn’t always the case. His history involves not only healing and recovery but  also tremendous pain,  trauma and addiction. His crippling addictions to multiple drugs including heroin and crack led him to living in a transient apartment building in Los Angeles self medicating with alcohol to handle the opiate withdrawal. It was also here that he decided to ask for help and change his life. Even though this moment was over 24 years ago and his life is dramatically different today, he still remembers those dark times vividly. 
  
 Luke began using drugs when he was 8 or 9 years old as a way to escape from an unstable and abusive childhood. With hopes of being a famous rockstar, Luke found himself in Hollywood in the drug fueled music scene. His addictions and the progression of his self hatred eventually caught up with him leading him to the rock bottom moment I described earlier. 
  
 One phone call led to Luke going to treatment and turning his life around. His redemption story has been driven by health, wellness, spirituality and courage. This along with Luke’s desire for self discovery and hunger for learning has led him to where he is today. Our conversation today unpacks Luke’s healing journey. We talk about why he used, how he made it out and the things he has struggled with in his recovery. He opens up about his experience with plant medicine and why it has been so helpful for him despite its controversial status in the recovery community.

      <title>Dr. Shefali on Healing Toxic Patterns, Setting Healthy Boundaries, Conscious Parenting and Embracing Divorce</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-shefali-on-healing-toxic-patterns-setting-healthy-boundaries-conscious-parenting-and-embracing-divorce</link>
      <description>Today’s conversation is going to challenge you. It’s going to push you and hopefully open your eyes to different perspectives on subjects like divorce, healing, boundaries, parenting and relationships. My guest is not only a New York Times best selling author, she is also a clinical psychologist whose work focusing on parenting, family dynamics and mindful living is flat-out revolutionary.

      <title>Tara Stiles on Practicing Yoga to Improve Self Awareness, Increase Confidence, Reduce Stress, Relieve Tension and Optimize Your Health (Without Attending a Single Class)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/tara-stiles-on-practicing-yoga-to-improve-self-awareness-increase-confidence-reduce-stress-relieve-stress-and-optimize-your-health-without-attending-a-single-class</link>
      <description>Practicing Yoga to Improve Self Awareness, Increase Confidence, Reduce Stress, Relieve Tension and Optimize Your Health (Without Attending a Single Class)!!!
  
 Today’s conversation is going to be relaxing, soothing and empowering because we are talking about yoga with global wellness expert and founder of Strala Yoga, Tara Stiles. Tara brings a revolutionary approach to being, moving and healing to inspire millions around the world with her relatable perspective with regards to yoga, meditation and movement. 
  
 Now before you press pause or exit because you aren’t interested in yoga, I invite you to continue to listen to the “Yoga Rebel.”
  
 The New York Times recognizes Tara as such because of her unconventional approach to this sometimes intimidating subject. She isn’t into the dogma of yoga or forcing you to do a bunch of poses or making you chant. Again, if that’s your jam, no judgment from either one of us. I would say that for most people their resistance to yoga is because of the time commitment, inflexibility, feeling insecure, not feeling aligned with the spirituality aspect, etc.
  
 After hearing today’s episode, I can promise you that these challenges will be diminished as Tara’s approach is efficient, relatable, empowering and practical for anyone looking to reap the incredible benefits of yoga. Yoga can reduce stress, relieve tension, improve your confidence, help you sleep better, gain flexibility and so much more. 
  
 The focus of our discussion today centers around what the average person can do if they want to get started with yoga and incorporate it into their daily routine or regular workout program. We break down the many walls or barriers that I mentioned previously and why spending just a few minutes a day practicing yoga or even taking one breath can be beneficial. Tara shares why “the better you move” within the poses matters more than how far you stretch. We discuss what you can do to reduce tension and stiffness and Tara shares what she does to help manage her stress. We go "all in" on the topic of hot yoga including the dangers and why Tara thinks most people should stay away from it.
  
 Topics discussed: 
  
 Tara's backstory and how she got into Yoga
  
 Why "dogma" in yoga turns people away 
  
 How to get started with yoga easily and efficiently
  
 Can yoga help heal trauma?
  
 How to relieve daily stiffness and tension
  
 Is it better to stretch more or move better?
  
 All things hot yoga
  
 The dangers of hot yoga
  
 Why Tara thinks people should stay away from hot yoga
  
 What Tara does to manage her stress
  
 How to find a yoga class that's right for you (if you want to attend one)
  
 Incorporating yoga into a daily routine or regular workout program

      <title>Steven Kotler - Finding Flow to Improve Performance, Overcome Obstacles and Achieve the Impossible</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/steven-kotler-finding-flow-to-improve-performance-overcome-obstacles-and-achieve-the-impossible</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Steven Kotler. Steven is a New York Times Best Selling Author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world’s leading experts on human performance. 10 of his 13 books have become best sellers and his work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes.
  
 Today’s conversation is going to dive into his latest book “The Art of Impossible” where Kotler unveils the secret recipe to help you achieve your goals, overcome obstacles and become your best self. As you will learn from today’s episode achieving the impossible isn’t just about climbing Mount Everest or winning a Super Bowl. Those are more or less what he considers "big I’s” and can’t be accomplished without achieving many "little i’s” along the way. Little i’s in my own words can best be described as “smaller goals” or challenges such as transforming your health, building a relationship, passing a big test, or starting a podcast but Steven will explain this in more detail.
  
 Our conversation goes into the popular and enticing topic of “flow.” We talk about what flow is and what flow isn’t. Steven shares why getting into flow is one of the most important things you can possibly do to learn faster, improve performance and live to your fullest potential. He talks about a recent obstacle that he has overcome in recent times and how it has impacted his life for the positive. We also discuss the science of motivation and what actually gets you motivated and much more!
  
 Topic discussed: 
  
 Little "i" vs big "I" when it come to achieving the impossible
  
 A recent obstacle that Steven recently overcame
  
 A masterclass on flow 
  
 What flow is and what flow isn't 
  
 What are the benefits of flow?

      <itunes:summary>Today’s guest is Steven Kotler. Steven is a New York Times Best Selling Author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world’s leading experts on human performance. 10 of his 13 books have become best sellers and his work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes.
  
 Today’s conversation is going to dive into his latest book “The Art of Impossible” where Kotler unveils the secret recipe to help you achieve your goals, overcome obstacles and become your best self. As you will learn from today’s episode achieving the impossible isn’t just about climbing Mount Everest or winning a Super Bowl. Those are more or less what he considers "big I’s” and can’t be accomplished without achieving many "little i’s” along the way. Little i’s in my own words can best be described as “smaller goals” or challenges such as transforming your health, building a relationship, passing a big test, or starting a podcast but Steven will explain this in more detail.
  
 Our conversation goes into the popular and enticing topic of “flow.” We talk about what flow is and what flow isn’t. Steven shares why getting into flow is one of the most important things you can possibly do to learn faster, improve performance and live to your fullest potential. He talks about a recent obstacle that he has overcome in recent times and how it has impacted his life for the positive. We also discuss the science of motivation and what actually gets you motivated and much more!

      <title>Stephan Speaks - The Blueprint to Finding Love, Creating Connection and Building Relationships That Last (And Why They Fail)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/stephan-speaks-the-blueprint-to-finding-love-creating-connection-and-building-relationships-that-last-and-why-they-fail</link>
      <description>Today’s conversation is one that I think will hit home with many as we are talking all things relationships. Listen relationships are hard enough as is and when you throw in a pandemic, online dating, social media and other challenges it certainly can complicate things.  But, after listening to this episode you are going to feel hopeful despite these challenges.
  
 Today’s guest is relationship coach and author Stephan Labossiere aka Stephan Speaks. Stephan is one of the most popular relationship coaches in the world. His mission, books, content and coaching help millions of people overcome the obstacles in their lives that hold them back from having relationships that last. Stephan’s message is real, raw, and relatable and he speaks the truth.  I can promise you that if you take the advice Stephan provides today and implement it whether you are single or not your relationships will change for the better.
  
 Our discussion today dives into how to heal from past hurts and why healing is a nonnegotiable for finding love and maintaining a healthy relationship. Stephan unveils his insights on things that will make or break a relationship and why people stay in relationships longer than they want to. We also discuss the pivotal role communication plays in partnerships and how to communicate effectively and navigate conflict. Stephan shares why chemistry isn’t the same as connection and how to know if you are truly connected to someone. Plus we also discuss the keys to building relationships that last and so much more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Why healing is critical for finding love, dating and maintaining a relationship
  
 How to actually heal from past hurts
  
 Steps to take to begin dating and how to find the right partner
  
 Why relationships fail (and how to prevent it)
  
 The pivotal role communication plays in relationships and how to navigate conflict
  
 The difference between chemistry and connection
  
 The keys to building relationships that last

      <title>Cyrus Khambatta - Insulin Resistance Explained (And How to Reverse It)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/cyrus-khambatta-insulin-resistance-explained-and-how-to-reverse-it</link>
      <description>88 million Americans are pre-diabetic and of those 88 million, 84% have NO IDEA that they are pre-diabetic!
  
 So I couldn't of a better time to release this episode!!!
  
 Today I had the pleasure of talking to Cyrus Khambatta Ph.D, internationally recognized nutrition fitness coach and co-founder of Mastering diabetes. Which is also the name of his New York Times bestseller book. 
  
 Cyprus takes us through his incredible journey as a type one diabetes survivor and explains how his ailing health inspired a drastic change to his diet plan as well as a career path.
  
 He earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical engineering from the University of Stanford in 2003, before bagging a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 2012.
  
 Cyrus' evidence-based approach to nutrition has helped thousands of people with forms of diabetes reverse insulin resistance using food and other lifestyle changes.
  
 Some topics discussed: 
  
 How to tell if you're prediabetic or not
  
 How Cyrus overcame type one diabetes at age 22 and how the life-threatening condition inspired a drastic change to his life
  
 What Insulin resistance really is and how it relates to being prediabetic and how to reverse it
  
 Whole Carbohydrates and Refined Carbohydrates, which is healthier for you?
  
 The exceptional health benefits of non-starchy vegetables
  
 Some simple steps to reverse type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes
  
 How to incorporate Fasting, Exercise, and Sleep to further maintain a healthy lifestyle.

 Cyprus takes us through his incredible journey as a type one diabetes survivor and explains how his ailing health inspired a drastic change to his diet plan as well as a career path.
  
 He earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical engineering from the University of Stanford in 2003, before bagging a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 2012.
  
 Cyrus' evidence-based approach to nutrition has helped thousands of people with forms of diabetes reverse insulin resistance using food and other lifestyle changes.
  
 Some topics discussed: 
  
 How to tell if you're prediabetic or not
  
 How Cyrus overcame type one diabetes at age 22 and how the life-threatening condition inspired a drastic change to his life
  
 What Insulin resistance really is and how it relates to being prediabetic and how to reverse it
  
 Whole Carbohydrates and Refined Carbohydrates, which is healthier for you?
  
 The exceptional health benefits of non-starchy vegetables

      <title>Ethan Kross - How to Stop Negative Self Talk and Harness Your Inner Voice</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/ethan-kross-how-to-stop-negative-self-talk-and-harness-your-inner-voice</link>
      <description>How to Stop Negative Self Talk and Harness Your Inner Voice
  
 I think we all have a basic understanding that many of the issues that arise in our lives are a result of our inability to control and manage the voice in our head. Not only does this create problems, our ability to solve these problems strongly relies on how we use our thoughts and inner voice in those moments. They can either be used to our advantage and help us grow or to our disadvantage where they become “chatter.” Chatter is when the inner voice becomes toxic and destructive. It’s when we ruminate, obsess, and before we know it we are acting impulsively and making decisions that are not aligned with who we want to become. This leads to turmoil in our lives that can damage our health, careers, relationships and our sense of self if we are not careful. But, there is good news. There is a path forward and after listening to today’s episode you will have multiple tools that you can implement immediately to harness your inner voice, mitigate chatter and use your thoughts to improve your life.  
  
 Today’s guest is Ethan Kross. Ethan is one of the world’s leading experts on controlling the conscious mind and the inner voice. He is An award-winning professor in the University of Michigan’s top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business, he studies how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health, performance, decisions, and relationships.
  
 Ethan is also the best selling author of the newly released book “Chatter” The Voice in Our Head, Why it Matters and How to Harness It, which was chosen as one of the best new books of the year by the Washington Post, CNN and USA Today and the Winning Winter 2021 selection for Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Dan Pink’s Next Big Idea Book Club. This guy delivers an absolute masterclass on today’s show on the conscious mind, emotion regulation, our inner voice and thoughts, and of course chatter. 
  
 What I value about Ethan’s approach  is that it’s simple, proactive and anyone can do it. There is no equipment, financial investment or massive time commitment required. Part of his solution to harnessing your inner voice is practicing things like “distancing” yourself from the situation, creating rituals in your life and controlling the environment around you. Ethan also covers a few tactics that you may think work for controlling our negative thoughts that are actually counterproductive.
  
 This is a discussion that goes into great detail into what your inner voice is, how it’s different from chatter, and why talking to yourself is actually healthy. We also get into how to “hold space” for someone in a way that will help them move forward and why running to social media to share your problems isn’t always the best approach. The cool thing is that many of the strategies that Ethan teaches are also useful for emotional regulation which is also part of today’s conversation. This episode helps you manage chatter in the present moments as well as the future and ultimately assist you in letting the voice in your head become your greatest ally.
  
 Highlights:
  
 Why we have an inner voice, where it comes from and how it’s used?
  
 What is chatter and how is it different from our thoughts and inner voice? 
  
 What is really the root cause of people's inability to manage their inner thoughts?
  
 Why the idea of going back to your childhood and addressing the root cause of trauma can be counterproductive
  
 How talking to yourself can be healthy (and why saying your name is important)
  
 Ethan shares some proven tactics to help you stop negative thoughts and chatter in its tracks
  
 Tools for controlling and regulating emotions

He is An award-winning professor in the University of Michigan’s top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business, he studies how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health, performance, decisions, and relationships.</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p3">Ethan is also the best selling author of the newly released book “Chatter” The Voice in Our Head, Why it Matters and How to Harness It, which was chosen as one of the best new books of the year by the Washington Post, CNN and USA Today and the Winning Winter 2021 selection for Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Dan Pink’s Next Big Idea Book Club. This guy delivers an absolute masterclass on today’s show on the conscious mind, emotion regulation, our inner voice and thoughts, and of course chatter. </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p3">What I value about Ethan’s approach  is that it’s simple, proactive and anyone can do it. There is no equipment, financial investment or massive time commitment required. Part of his solution to harnessing your inner voice is practicing things like “distancing” yourself from the situation, creating rituals in your life and controlling the environment around you. Ethan also covers a few tactics that you may think work for controlling our negative thoughts that are actually counterproductive.</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p3">This is a discussion that goes into great detail into what your inner voice is, how it’s different from chatter, and why talking to yourself is actually healthy. We also get into how to “hold space” for someone in a way that will help them move forward and why running to social media to share your problems isn’t always the best approach. The cool thing is that many of the strategies that Ethan teaches are also useful for emotional regulation which is also part of today’s conversation. This episode helps you manage chatter in the present moments as well as the future and ultimately assist you in letting the voice in your head become your greatest ally.</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p3">Highlights:</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p1">Why we have an inner voice, where it comes from and how it’s used?</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">What is chatter and how is it different from our thoughts and inner voice? </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">What is really the root cause of people's inability to manage their inner thoughts?</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Why the idea of going back to your childhood and addressing the root cause of trauma can be counterproductive</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">How talking to yourself can be healthy (and why saying your name is important)</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Ethan shares some proven tactics to help you stop negative thoughts and chatter in its tracks</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Tools for controlling and regulating emotions </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Buy Ethan's book "Chatter:"</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">https://www.ethankross.com/chatter/</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Connect with Ethan: </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Website: <a href="http://www.ethankross.com">http://www.ethankross.com</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ethankross">http://www.instagram.com/ethankross</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ethan_kross">https://twitter.com/ethan_kross</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>Connect with Doug:</p> <p> </p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">http://www.dougbopst.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/dougbopst">http://www.instagram.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst">https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/dougbopst">http://www.twitter.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Private Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188">https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on PaleoValley Beef Sticks:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.paleovalley.com">www.paleovalley.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p3"> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Dr. Will Cole - A Deep Dive on Intuitive Fasting, Metabolic Flexibility and How to Boost Your Immune System Right Now</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-will-cole-a-deep-dive-on-intuitive-fasting-metabolic-flexibility-and-how-to-boost-your-immune-system-right-now</link>
      <description>A Deep Dive on Intuitive Fasting, Metabolic Flexibility and How to Boost Your Immune System Right Now!!!
  
 Dr. Will Cole is our first repeat guest on the show and undoubtedly one of the most experienced and educated individuals in the field of Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
  
 He is a leading functional-medicine expert, who specializes in clinically investigating the underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders, and brain problems. Dr. Cole is also a best-selling author of multiple books and hosts the highly popular podcast, The Art of Being Well. 
  
 Today our conversation takes a somewhat similar path as our initial one as we talk all things functional medicine and holistic health. But this time, we talk quite a bit about fasting. And not just fasting, "Intuitive Fasting" which is also the title of his latest New York Times best-selling book.
  
 Much of our discussion today focuses on the science of fasting and how it builds resilience, improves your brain health, reduces your inflammation and boosts your immune system. Dr. Cole shares the importance of having metabolic flexibility when it comes to maximizing our health and why metabolic inflexibility is at the root of so many health problems that we are facing. Believe it or not, fasting is a great way to develop metabolic flexibility which you will learn today.
  
 I also pick Dr. Cole’s brain about what he’s currently advising his patients to do to boost their immunity and help protect them from viruses.  Dr. Cole showcases his 4-week plan to get started fasting in a way that’s comfortable, effective, and of course intuitive.
  
 Essentially this is a conversation that will help you embrace the incredible benefits of fasting without feeling overwhelmed and frightened.
  
 Hopefully, after listening to this episode you will feel inspired to take control of your health so that you can do what you can to reduce inflammation. strengthen your immune system and live longer. 
  
 Highlights:
  
 What is Dr. Cole advising his patients to do to keep their immune systems strong? 
  
 What is at the root of many health problems? 
  
 Metabolic flexibility vs metabolic inflexibilty (the role this plays in your health)
  
 The science and benefits of fasting
  
 What is intuitive fasting?
  
 What can be used to improve brain health, reduce inflammation and build resilience?

      <title>Jim Kwik - Train Your Brain to Master Focus, Learn Faster, Achieve Goals, and Become Limitless</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jim-kwik-train-your-brain-to-master-focus-learn-faster-achieve-goals-and-become-limitless</link>
      <description>Train Your Brain to Master Focus, Learn Faster, Achieve Goals and Become Limitless!
  
 One of the world’s leading experts in brain performance, mental fitness and memory improvement joins me on the show today. But, these credentials would have seemed downright impossible years ago. I say this because Jim Kwik experienced a severe childhood brain injury that left him with massive learning challenges so much so that he was told that he had a broken brain.
  
 Jim refused to let that label define him and gravitated heavily towards comic books to inspire him to achieve the unthinkable, unimaginable and impossible. When Jim was a freshman in college an unsung hero came into his life to help guide him on the path of personal development, growth, and reading.
  
 He then became enamored with teaching himself “how to learn” and the rest is history. Kwik then created strategies to dramatically enhance his cognitive performance and has since dedicated his life to helping others unleash their true genius and brainpower.
  
 He is CEO of Kwik Learning, the premiere online accelerated learning academy with students in 195 countries. His clients include Google, Virgin, Nike, Zappos, SpaceX, Wordpress, Cleveland Clinic, Caltech, Harvard and Singularity University. Kwik is the author of the NY Times and #1 WSJ bestseller: “Limitless - Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, Unlock Your Exceptional Life.”
  
 He is the host of the acclaimed “Kwik Brain” podcast, which is consistently the top educational training show on iTunes with tens of millions of downloads. Our mission today is to provide you actionable steps to help train your brain to master your focus (even during the tough times), cultivate purpose, learn faster, achieve your goals, and become limitless. This is an absolute masterclass and one that you will want to re-listen to over and over again.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Why Jim was so excited to come on the podcast
  
 Jim's incredible back story: going from the "Boy with a Broken Brain" to being one of the world's leading experts in brain performance, mental fitness, and memory improvement.
  
 How to cultivate a deep sense of meaning or "why" to achieve goals - How to align your values with action in an attention-seeking world
  
 Jim's tools for dealing with life's challenges/overcoming adversity
  
 How to master focus
  
 How to stay focused during times of distress
  
 Jim's tips for more efficient Learning
  
 How to take notes effectively

      <title>Dr. Jud Brewer - The Real Reasons You Are Always Anxious (And What to Do About It)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-jud-brewer-the-real-reasons-you-are-always-anxious-and-what-to-do-about-it</link>
      <description>The Real Reasons You Are Always Anxious (And What to Do About It)
  
 It’s no secret that the pandemic and COVID-19 have exacerbated things like our stress levels, anxiety, worry and uncertainty. As a result, there has been a rise in suicide, drug overdose, alcohol sales and prescription medication to treat mental illness. What’s the path forward? What do we do? What is the real reason we experience anxiety and how can we manage it? My hope is that after today’s conversation you will have a better understanding of the anxiety, worry, and mental health and how to address each effectively. 
  
 Today’s guest is Dr. Jud Brewer. He is an internationally renowned addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist. His TED Talk ”A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit” has over 16 million views on YouTube. Dr. Jud is an Associate Professor at Brown University, executive medical director at Sharecare and an internationally renowned expert in mindfulness as correlated to addiction. In his latest book, “Unwinding Anxiety” Dr. Jud gives step-by-step instructions on how to understand and manage anxiety in ways that are backed by science, research and data. 
  
 There are hundreds of millions of people that struggle with anxiety; my concern is that this number will only continue to rise if we don’t learn how to manage it properly and pay attention to its causes. There are numerous myths out there when it comes to what works when it comes to dealing with anxiety. With that said, today’s discussion I think will provide you with science-based, actionable steps that you can immediately take to understand, manage and mitigate your anxiety.
  
 What I like about Dr Jud’s approach is that it’s tactical, efficient and proactive. Dr Jud also emphasizes why practicing mindfulness, curiosity and awareness is the secret sauce when it comes to modifying behavior, changing habits and managing anxiety. This conversation covers what anxiety is, what causes it, what makes it worse and how it relates to addiction. Dr. Jud also explains the role that your health, fitness and lifestyle play into all of this. This episode helps you manage anxiety both short and long term. It will also help you rewire your brain to suppress or end the vicious traps of worry, fear and anxiety.
  
 Dr. Jud is one of the best when it comes to educating, teaching and sharing on the subjects of habits, anxiety, addiction and behavior change and his insights will be a game-changer for you.

 There are hundreds of millions of people that struggle with anxiety; my concern is that this number will only continue to rise if we don’t learn how to manage it properly and pay attention to its causes. There are numerous myths out there when it comes to what works when it comes to dealing with anxiety. With that said, today’s discussion I think will provide you with science-based, actionable steps that you can immediately take to understand, manage and mitigate your anxiety.
  
 What I like about Dr Jud’s approach is that it’s tactical, efficient and proactive. Dr Jud also emphasizes why practicing mindfulness, curiosity and awareness is the secret sauce when it comes to modifying behavior, changing habits and managing anxiety. This conversation covers what anxiety is, what causes it, what makes it worse and how it relates to addiction. Dr. Jud also explains the role that your health, fitness and lifestyle play into all of this. This episode helps you manage anxiety both short and long term. It will also help you rewire your brain to suppress or end the vicious traps of worry, fear and anxiety.
  
 Dr. Jud is one of the best when it comes to educating, teaching and sharing on the subjects of habits, anxiety, addiction and behavior change and his insights will be a game-changer for you.

      <title>From Drug Addict to Internet Celebrity: The Redemption Story of Mike Majlak</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/from-drug-addict-to-internet-celebrity-the-redemption-story-of-mike-majlak</link>
      <description>Mike Majlak is a popular Youtuber, Internet Celebrity and Co Host of one of the world's most popular shows, Impaulsive with Logan Paul.
  
 But, much of this seemed nearly impossible a little over a decade ago.
  
 On today's podcast, Mike takes us through his riveting addiction and post addiction story which he also reflects on in his highly popular debut book, 'The Fifth Vital'. Mike grew up as a “normal kid” who just like many found himself spiraling down the destructive path of addiction.
  
 It began with him experimenting with marijuana as a teenager and it quickly escalated into snorting painkillers, cocaine, xanax, heroin and smoking crack. Mike inevitably was also forced to sell these drugs in order to support his habit and his identity. This self-destructive journey continued for about a decade and also came with other negative side effects. Mike was arrested multiple times, robbed, drove his car off a cliff and watched his drug dealer get pistol-whipped right before his eyes. One of Mike’s lowest of lows came when he failed to take care of his sick grandfather while extremely high on crack.
  
 On June 18th, 2010 everything finally caught up with Mike when he was finally called on his BS by his probation officer and she decided to give him an opportunity to change his life. This is what would ultimately lead him to go to detox, treatment and turn his life around. Mike’s redemption story was fueled by fitness, goal setting, purpose, perseverance, and deep introspection. On a mission to make something out of his life and “hustle” in a meaningful way Mike rebuilt his resume, self-esteem and health. This gave him the confidence needed to apply and land a job at furniture retailer Lovesac to help them build their brand and social media. It was at Lovesac where he met Logan Paul and the rest is history.
  
 Our discussion today dives deep into what it was like being the Mike of the past versus the Mike of the present. We chat about his darkest moments, his rock bottoms and the scariest time of his life where he thought it was all over. More importantly, we talk about the exact tactics that Mike used to make the ultimate comeback, the healthy coping mechanisms he uses today and the advice he has for those that are still suffering. We also talk about his partnership with Logan Paul and what the future holds. This conversation is a reflection on the power of faith, fitness, fortitude and fulfillment and a story that I am excited to share.
  
 Some topics discussed: 
  
 Mike's journey to addiction
  
 The parental divorce and his rough teenage years
  
 The switch from marijuana to opiates
  
 The trajectory that leads him to use heroin and crack
  
 Mike's darkest moments/rock bottoms
  
 Mike's scariest moment of his life 
  
 Mike's turning point with the new Probation officer
  
 Why did Mike decide to stop using drugs?
  
 How Mike made his comeback (step by step)
  
 Positive coping tactics for an addict looking for recovery
  
 How he survived early recovery?
  
 The role that self reflection played in his life
  
 How did Mike rebuild his resume, self-esteem and life?
  
 The importance of fitness
  
 Getting a job at Lovesac and meeting Logan Paul
  
 Logan and Mike's partnership and their future
  
 Advice for loved ones who have an addict that is struggling

      <title>Louisa Nicola - Neuroscientist Reveals How to Sleep Better and Manage Your Stress and Emotions</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/louisa-nicola-neuroscientist-reveals-how-to-sleep-better-and-manage-your-stress-and-emotions</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is Louisa Nicola. She is a trained clinical neuroscientist, the founder of Neuro Athletics and works one on one with professional NBA, MLS and NFL players to enhance peak brain performance. 
  
 I am not sure which is more inspiring: her wealth of knowledge and expertise or her incredible story. Louisa grew up training competitively as a triathlete in Australia.  One day while she was on her bike training for the triathlon world championship, a car struck her leaving her knee ruptured and shattering her dreams of competing. She was told by a doctor that she would never walk again.  But that didn’t stop her from making a comeback. Louisa ended up crossing paths with a special mentor that taught her the importance of the mind-body connection. This ultimately changed her life and gave her the superpower to not only walk again, but to compete again. 
  
 We go in depth about this extraordinary accomplishment and how it set the tone for the work she does today as a neuroscientist. Louisa and I have a detailed conversation on managing emotions, fear, stress and the entire nervous system. What you will learn is that the biggest trick to coping with all of these things is optimizing how you sleep. She shares some shocking information on the negative impacts of poor sleep including how it affects your memory, emotions, immune system, and genetics.  It can even alter your brain. But don’t worry, she also shares practical tips that you can do to improve your sleep as well as some innovative ways to train your mind, thrive under pressure and much more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Louisa's incredible backstory and how she survived a near death accident 
  
 How she recovered and was able to compete at triathlon world championship 
  
 Managing stress, emotions and nervous system
  
 Embracing fear
  
 Why sleep is so important for physical, mental and emotional health
  
 What qualifies as good sleep?
  
 The dangers of poor sleep
  
 How to optimize and improve sleep
  
 Innovative ways to train the mind

Louisa ended up crossing paths with a special mentor that taught her the importance of the mind-body connection. This ultimately changed her life and gave her the superpower to not only walk again, but to compete again. 
  
 We go in depth about this extraordinary accomplishment and how it set the tone for the work she does today as a neuroscientist. Louisa and I have a detailed conversation on managing emotions, fear, stress and the entire nervous system. What you will learn is that the biggest trick to coping with all of these things is optimizing how you sleep. She shares some shocking information on the negative impacts of poor sleep including how it affects your memory, emotions, immune system, and genetics.  It can even alter your brain. But don’t worry, she also shares practical tips that you can do to improve your sleep as well as some innovative ways to train your mind, thrive under pressure and much more!

      <title>Glenn Stearns - How This Undercover Billionaire Beat the Odds to Overcome Financial Hardship, Competition and Cancer</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/glenn-stearns-how-this-undercover-billionaire-beat-the-odds-to-overcome-financial-hardship-competition-and-cancer</link>
      <description>So many aspects of our daily lives depend on our outlook and mindset. How do you respond to challenges, mistakes and negative situations? Do you view them as problems or opportunities? Do you let your adversities define your life? Do you pass up opportunities out of fear of failing?
  
 My guest on today's episode Glenn Stearns believes you should use failure and adversity as a catalyst for change and not a reason to quit. 
  
 Glenn was born to alcoholic parents, diagnosed dyslexic, and failed 4th grade. He became a father at age 14 and graduated high school in the bottom ten-percent of his class. A major turning point of his life came after finishing  college when he decided to take his destiny in his own hands following another night of partying. Ironically, he made this choice at a local bar that I used to frequent back in the day in Towson, MD. 
  
 He then moved to California in search of opportunities to rise above his humble beginnings.
  
 At 25, after working as a loan officer for 10 months, Glenn formed his own mortgage company, Stearns Lending LLC. By 2010, Stearns Lending LLC reached nearly $1 billion in monthly funded loan volume while experiencing record growth. Stearns not only survived the 2008 mortgage-lending crisis, it emerged as one of the top lenders in the country. Since 2010, Stearns Lending LLC has funded over 30-billion dollars in loans. In 2015, Glenn sold a majority of Stearns Lending to Blackstone and embarked on a hiatus with his family on his yacht. You would think that things would be “smooth sailing” from this point on. However, the tides turned and Glenn faced another major storm, cancer, which he beat twice. This coupled with an innate hunger to reinvent himself again was the inspiration for the show “Undercover Billionaire” in 2019. In the subsequent seasons that followed, Glenn has remained on board as an advisor and executive producer and now has started yet another mortgage company with his wife Mindy which we talk about.
  
 Glenn shares his entrepreneurial journey, how he built one of the most successful mortgage companies in an industry that is highly competitive. He reveals some secrets that can apply to anyone who’s interested in becoming resilient in the thick of uncertainty.  We also talk about his story of cancer survival, why you shouldn’t solely chase money, and why he wasn’t happy when he sold his company.

 Weathering the stormy '2008' financial crisis and how it applies to today's struggles

 GLENN'S HACK TO BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
 Success is not overnight. Quit chasing after materialism and focus on building a strong organization and quality leadership. Figure out what your goal is and never be in a haste to get to your destination or put a deadline on your success. Enjoy every moment you have to build and grow. It's not about having your game plan all mapped and then freaking out when it doesn't go as planned because it won't. It's about being a problem solver. That's what you are as an entrepreneur.
  
 Takeaways
  
 When faced with life's challenges, understand that 'This too shall pass.' Nothing stays constant, not even crisis.
  
 If you must build a sustainable business, surround yourself with great people of like interest and passion. Learn to communicate at the verge of despair.
  
 Prioritize family. Make sure they're happy because there's a lot more currency than money. There's happiness currency, health currency and there's joy currency.

      <title>Drs. David and Austin Perlmutter - You've Been Brain Washed, Here's How to Fix It</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/drs-david-and-austin-perlmutter-youve-been-brain-washed-heres-how-to-fix-it</link>
      <description>You've Been Brain Washed, Here's How to Fix It!!!
  
 Today you will finally find out why you continue to make choices that aren’t aligned with your goals and the person you want to become in the future. What I believe you will discover after listening to this is that you’ve been “brain washed.” I don’t mean this necessary in a manipulative way. It’s more or less referring to the pivotal role your environment plays in all areas of your health. It also is closely related to our ability to make decisions, fight inflammation, build meaningful relationships, and manage stress.
  
 Father and son duo, Dr.’s David and Austin Perlmutter join me on the show today.  Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.
  
 Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine where he was awarded the Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award. He serves as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Archives of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and The Journal of Applied Nutrition. Austin Perlmutter, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician and New York Times bestselling author. He received his medical degree from the University of Miami and completed his internal medicine residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. Austin’s focus is on helping others to improve decision-making and quality of life. He is also interested in methods of understanding and reducing burnout in the medical field.
  
 Ultimately, they are both here to help you understand where this massive disconnect between our goals and our decisions stems from and how your brain is being trained to behave impulsively based on environmental patterns, habits, and the daily choices that we make. The good news is that we talk about the path forward so that you can begin to rewire your brain to make better decisions, achieve your goals, optimize your health and become the best version of yourself. 
  
 Topics discussed: 
  
 Environmental factors that impact decision making
  
 The role of neuroplasticity and how it influences our choices
  
 How social media and technology affect brain health, cognitive function, relationships and stress
  
 Can we use technology in a healthy way?
  
 Implementing the acronym "T.I.M.E." when it comes to assessing social media and technology use
  
 How empathy improves our health and brain function
  
 Why do we make impulsive decisions?
  
 How things like inflammation and nutrition influence all areas of our health
  
 The path forward so that you can rewire your brain to strengthen relationships, reduce stress, improve your health and become the best version of yourself (including a 10 day bootcamp).

      <itunes:summary>You've Been Brain Washed, Here's How to Fix It!!!
  
 Today you will finally find out why you continue to make choices that aren’t aligned with your goals and the person you want to become in the future. What I believe you will discover after listening to this is that you’ve been “brain washed.” I don’t mean this necessary in a manipulative way. It’s more or less referring to the pivotal role your environment plays in all areas of your health. It also is closely related to our ability to make decisions, fight inflammation, build meaningful relationships, and manage stress.
  
 Father and son duo, Dr.’s David and Austin Perlmutter join me on the show today.  Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.
  
 Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine where he was awarded the Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award. He serves as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Archives of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and The Journal of Applied Nutrition. Austin Perlmutter, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician and New York Times bestselling author. He received his medical degree from the University of Miami and completed his internal medicine residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. Austin’s focus is on helping others to improve decision-making and quality of life. He is also interested in methods of understanding and reducing burnout in the medical field.
  
 Ultimately, they are both here to help you understand where this massive disconnect between our goals and our decisions stems from and how your brain is being trained to behave impulsively based on environmental patterns, habits, and the daily choices that we make. The good news is that we talk about the path forward so that you can begin to rewire your brain to make better decisions, achieve your goals, optimize your health and become the best version of yourself. 
  
 Topics discussed: 
  
 Environmental factors that impact decision making
  
 The role of neuroplasticity and how it influences our choices
  
 How social media and technology affect brain health, cognitive function, relationships and stress
  
 Can we use technology in a healthy way?
  
 Implementing the acronym "T.I.M.E." when it comes to assessing social media and technology use
  
 How empathy improves our health and brain function
  
 Why do we make impulsive decisions?
  
 How things like inflammation and nutrition influence all areas of our health
  
 The path forward so that you can rewire your brain to strengthen relationships, reduce stress, improve your health and become the best version of yourself (including a 10 day bootcamp).

      <title>Tim Storey - Take These Steps To Develop a Miracle Mentality, Believe in Yourself and Make a Comeback</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/-tim-storey-take-these-steps-to-develop-a-miracle-mentality-believe-in-yourself-and-make-a-comeback</link>
      <description>Take These Steps To Develop a Miracle Mentality, Believe in Yourself, and Make a Comeback!!!
  
 More often than not, what holds you back isn’t the obstacle or setback itself, it’s the lack of belief in yourself to overcome it.
  
 With that said, this podcast is going to give you the exact steps needed to get you through hard times, develop belief and confidence in yourself and create the ultimate comeback. 
  
 My guest today is Tim Storey. Tim is an author, pastor, speaker, and renowned life coach and is known for inspiring and motivating people from all walks of life. In the course of his 30 years as “The Comeback Coach”, Tim has helped countless people including well known creators like Robert Downey Jr., Kanye West, Quincy Jones and so many more.
  
 Today we discuss things like how to develop a “miracle mentality” so that you can get through the toughest of times and achieve anything you want in life. We talk about what you can do to help yourself when you are spiraling downward and not exacerbate the situation. Tim shares the importance of having well defined principles and a purpose as well as the role they play in helping you get through life’s challenges.
  
 Our conversation also takes a deep dive into the topic of one’s inner circle and what to do with those people that no longer add value to your life. Essentially, this episode contains a wonderful combination of motivation, inspiration and game changing advice to help you use adversity to your advantage and become your best self.
  
 Topics discussed: 
  
 Staying grounded in Faith during the good and bad times
  
 Tim's insights on Purpose and Principles
  
 Why it's not the problem that breaks us, it's our response to it
  
 What you can do to help yourself when you are spiraling downward and not exacerbate the situation
  
 Tim's thoughts on the "miracle mentality" and where it comes from
  
 What disrupts the "miracle mentality"
  
 Different states of life that we can end up living in: mundane, messy and madness
  
 Steps that you can take to embrace the "miracle mentality" during times of struggle
  
 A deep dive into the topic of one’s inner circle and what to do with those people that no longer add value to your life

      <title>Mike Matthews - The Secrets to Building The Ultimate Body and Transforming Your Health</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/mike-matthews-the-blueprint-to-an-effective-and-sustainable-workout-program</link>
      <description>The Blueprint to an Effective and Sustainable Workout Program!!!
  
 There is a lot of noise in the fitness industry about what works best with regard to weight loss, muscle building, and transformation. There are so many different workout programs, cleanses, and information that it can be challenging to decipher between what actually works long term and what doesn’t 
  
 With that said, I wanted to have a conversation with someone that is one of the most knowledgable, respected, and successful experts in this space. Today’s guest is Mike Matthews. Mike is the best selling author of books like “Bigger Leaner Stronger” and "Thinner Leaner Stronger." He is also the host of the "Muscle for Life Podcast" and founder of the #1 best-selling all-natural sports supplement brand, Legion athletics.
  
 More importantly, Mike is a “go to” for all things muscle building, fat loss, and body transformation having helped tens of thousands of people change their lives via health and fitness. Check out his IG page for some of these before and after photos. It’s quite inspirational. Believe it or not, most of his clientele is the normal everyday person who is “unfit” and looking to become “fit” that doesn’t have hours upon hours to spend at the gym everyday. So if you are that person who is struggling to get started, keep “starting and stopping,” have hit a plateau, or just looking to up your fitness game then this episode is for you.
  
 This episode is going to provide you the blueprint for a workout program that is effective, sustainable and help you create the ultimate health transformation. 
  
 We chat about the staples that are necessary for a successful fitness program that includes what to eat, what to do in the gym and the importance of protein. Mike and I discuss other things like how to not fall into the trap of making your body an idol or your identity, how to break through a plateau and how much time is REALLY necessary to spend in the gym to get results and how to maximize it.

      <title>Heather Hayes - A Nation That's Being Held Hostage By Addiction</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/heather-hayes-a-nation-thats-being-held-hostage-by-addiction</link>
      <description>A Nation That's Being Held Hostage By Addiction!!!
  
 Today’s episode is not only timely but truly one of the most impactful and informative conversations that I’ve ever had. The topic is one that is near and dear to my heart and the hearts of many. 
  
 Why you may ask?
  
 Because we are talking about addiction and why and how our nation being held hostage by it. 
  
 Do you think I am kidding? 
  
 A recent CDC study stated that between May 2019 and May 2020 there were over 81,000 drug overdose deaths.  My fear is that these numbers will continue to climb in the next coming year. It is also estimated that 1500 kids per day will try taking prescription drugs for the first time to get high.
  
 If you are the parent, relative, friend or spouse of somebody that could be struggling with addiction, you’re probably asking yourself a lot of questions. 
  
 What do I do? How will I know? How do I find a good rehab? What if they don’t listen to me? What about pot? Do I just kick them out? How do I get them to be honest with me?
  
 Here is some good news. Today we are going to answer these questions. On the show today, I have Heather Hayes, one of the most highly respected and prominent authorities in the addiction field. She has over 30 years of experience as an interventionist and has completed over 3000 interventions.  95% of these have ended with the subject agreeing to go to treatment. 
  
 You may recognize her from A&amp;E’s hit show “Intervention” where she was a featured interventionist in 2018 and 2019 or from her appearances on Dr. Oz, CNN and other media. Did I forget to mention that she’s also a trained hostage negotiator?
  
 During our in depth discussion, Hayes provides step by step instructions on how to know if someone is suffering from addiction and how to ask the right questions. We cover how to support someone in recovery, how to deal with the trauma, shame and guilt of being a parent of an addicted child and how to have conversations about drugs.  We talk about boundaries, tough love and enabling.
  
 She’ll reveal what she is seeing on the front lines regarding what types of drugs are most popular as well as the staggering statistics the country is facing.
  
 We also take a deep dive into cannabis and whether kids should be smoking it.  Does it help with anxiety and is it a successful form of harm reduction?
  
 Finally, Hayes explains how to find the right treatment center and what she thinks is the solution to this massive problem we are facing.
  
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Why addiction is very similar to a hostage situation and also potentially more complicated. 
  
 Heather's background and what sets her apart 
  
 How to know if someone is struggling with addiction and how to ask the right questions
  
 How do you support someone in recovery?
  
 How do you deal with the trauma, shame and guilt of being a parent of an addicted child and how to have conversations about drugs?
  
 Boundaries, tough love and enabling
  
 What she is seeing on the front lines
  
 The staggering statistics that the country is facing
  
 We take a deep dive into cannabis
  
 Should kids be smoking cannabis?
  
 Does it help with anxiety and is it a successful form of harm reduction?
  
 How to find the right treatment center
  
 What does Heather think the solution is?

      <title>Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney - A Special Message on Faith, Family, Football and Leadership</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/clemson-coach-dabo-swinney-a-special-message-on-faith-family-football-and-leadership</link>
      <description>Happy Easter! I am wishing everyone a healthy and happy holiday and hope you are spending it with those that you love either in person or virtually.  For those that aren’t celebrating, I am wishing you a day full of peace, love, and happiness as well. We have a “special episode” today. Traditionally, I don’t release three episodes per week. But, given the context of this particular conversation and how it relates to Easter, I thought it would only be fitting to release it today.
  
 Many of you will recognize my guest because he is one of the most accomplished college football coaches of our lifetime.  Today we dive into parts of his journey that you may not be as familiar with, specifically his childhood and what led him to become a Christian.
  
 Clemson Football Head Coach Dabo Swinney joins me today on the show. For those of you who aren’t sports fans, since taking over as head coach in 2008, he has won 5 conference titles and two national championships. His team is consistently in the running for winning the national championship every year. What I believe sets him apart is his commitment to making his players not just better athletes, but better humans as well.
  
 We discuss his upbringing, his faith, and of course his coaching career. He explains how his positivity and motivational nature was something that he created in reaction to adverse circumstances. He shares the secret recipe he gives his players to get out of a rut and which players have impacted him. I hope you find my conversation with Coach Swinney as inspiring, encouraging and surprising as I did. Happy Easter!
  
  
 Topics discussed: 
  
 Coach Swinney's upbringing and what inspired his motivational and positive nature
  
 How his childhood helped shape him
  
 Why age 16 was pivotal for him
  
 What led him to become a Christian and what that has done for him
  
 The major role faith plays in his life
  
 How staying positive and focusing on what he could control helped him get through hard times
  
 How to get through challenging times
  
 His coaching career
  
 How he is able to relate to his players
  
 Which players have had the most impact on him
  
 Advice he gives to players that are in a "rut"

      <title>Arielle Lorre - A Deep Dive on Addiction, Recovery, Wellness and Managing Anxiety</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/arielle-lorre-a-deep-dive-on-addiction-recovery-wellness-and-managing-anxiety-0</link>
      <description>Today’s guest on the show is Arielle Lorre. You might recognize her from her hit podcast, The Blonde Files Podcast, or from her popular Instagram page, where she shares mouth-watering recipes, as well as incredible health and wellness tips.
  
 What really inspires me about Arielle is her recovery journey. After nearly losing her battle with addiction, Arielle decided to turn her life around by relentlessly pursuing health and happiness and by sharing what she learned along the way. Arielle just recently celebrated 7 years of sobriety.
  
 I am sure you are anxious to learn more about Arielle’s rise to success, but you will have to listen to the episode to hear the full story. But what I will say now, is that her addictions led her to being arrested for a DUI, she had multiple grand mal seizures, and she ended up blacking out periodically for several months before finally getting sober.
  
 Arielle opens up in detail about what led her down that destructive path, and more importantly, she shares her comeback story. We will also discuss how meditation, fitness, and community have helped her with her sobriety, and how she currently manages her anxiety in a way that is healthy and supports her recovery.
  
 Topics discussed: 
  
 Arielle's childhood and early stages of addiction
  
 How drinking socially led to a downward spiral that included abusing other drugs, getting a DUI, multiple rehab visits, and grand mal seizures
  
 The role of shame in trying to get sober
  
 Arielle's "rock bottom" moment that came after blacking out for a few months prior
  
 What helped Arielle in recovery?
  
 The role of community
  
 The power of meditation (and which she prefers)
  
 Arielle's fitness journey and how it helped her build confidence
  
 How does Arielle manage anxiety in a healthy way?
  
 The advice she would give to her younger self

      <title>AJ Harbinger - The Art of Building Confidence, Connection and Charm</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/aj-harbinger-the-art-of-building-confidence-connection-and-charm</link>
      <description>Today’s guest on the show is relationship expert AJ Harbinger and co-host of the highly popular podcast, The Art of Charm which has over 200 million downloads and has featured guests such as myself, Tim Ferriss, Jay Shetty, and Kobe Bryant, and many others. 
  
 AJ has helped thousands of men and women from all around the world to overcome social anxiety, master conversation, develop social capital and build genuine relationships of the highest quality, as well as breakthrough large personal and professional mental blocks.
  
 Like many, success did not come easy for AJ. Identifying as an introvert and Growing up without a Mother, this all quickly ignited some insecurities, pain, and anxiety, and struggled socially in school. As you can imagine, he felt a bit lost as a young adult and took a sabbatical after his undergrad for some self-discovery.
  
 Encouraged by his father to get a job to stay motivated, he decided to take a job at a research lab and after having a research project go sideways unexpectedly, he was forced to make a decision.
  
 He could either continue down this path of consistent disappointment or take a chance on himself to do something that would help him and others find fulfillment long term. On a mission to develop and cultivate true social skills and confidence, he co-founded the Art of Charm almost 15 years ago.
  
 This of course didn’t come without challenges as his Father passed away shortly after, whom he was incredibly close to and his Father also doubted his ability to make it in the podcast world.
  
 He shares his incredible story of overcoming all of these hardships that came along before and after starting the podcast and of course chat about social skills.
  
 Let's face it...developing confidence, emotional intelligence, and relationships are tough and take hard work. But, it can be done and there is an art in doing this. Today, you are going to learn tactical skills that you can apply right now to ensure that you are doing everything you can to improve your self-worth, build deep connections, and of course charm. 
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 AJ’s upbringing growing up with a single parent
  
 How AJ’s childhood affected his mental health
  
 How AJ pivoted that adversity into something positive to help so many people
  
 AJ’s insight about being authentic, being real, and being yourself
  
 AJ’s advice for somebody who's thinking about doing something for the wrong reason
  
 Struggles AJ faced without having his mom around
  
 The types of things AJ started doing to cultivate confidence within himself when he started the show, The Art of Charm
  
 What are the things that AJ does every single day that are non-negotiable for him to get himself feeling good
  
 What AJ and his co-host do when the ratings of their program is not as high as they expected
  
 What are a couple of non-negotiable things that people can do to be able to cultivate a deep, meaningful, in-person relationship with someone in 2000, as we're entering 2021?
  
 AJ’s advice for people when approaching someone at an event, at a seminar, or asking a guy or a girl out
  
 What are some things people should say or not say, to get the other person to be more engaged with them
  
 The top lessons AJ learned from someone: Who was it and what was the lesson?
  
 Takeaways:
  
 “Look at any venture that you start and ask yourself, “How am I going to feel about this 10 days from now? How am I gonna feel about this 10 months from now? How am I gonna feel about this 10 years from now?” And if the answer is yes, excited, pumped. 10 months or 10 years later, then you've hit a goldmine. You've hit something that you're gonna have the passion, the motivation, and the drive to fulfill.” - AJ Harbinger
  
 “We really made it a focal point to celebrate all the small victories along the way.” - AJ Harbinger
  
 Your confidence is like a skyscraper.
  
 Start out with a positive view of the day, and end your day with gratitude.
  
 The difference between success and lack of success is between your ears.
  
 You are constantly training your mind to focus on things whether you like them or not.
  
 “If you’re feeling like, ‘Wow. You know, I've had so many setbacks.’ I would challenge you to pick up the phone and reach out to the people in your life that you care about.” - AJ Harbinger
  
 Appreciation is actually telling people what you love about them, why you love having them in your life, why you really enjoy that relationship that person has brought to your life. And acceptance is actually inviting them to participate in your life.
  
 The key ingredient in this formula is curiosity -- genuine curiosity.
  
 The simplest way is to approach with gratitude and appreciation, and share with them.
  
 “Who you surround yourself with, and the intentionality of your habits, your lifestyle, is what unlocks these extraordinary levels of success that we look up to.” - AJ Harbinger

 “Look at any venture that you start and ask yourself, “How am I going to feel about this 10 days from now? How am I gonna feel about this 10 months from now? How am I gonna feel about this 10 years from now?” And if the answer is yes, excited, pumped. 10 months or 10 years later, then you've hit a goldmine. You've hit something that you're gonna have the passion, the motivation, and the drive to fulfill.” - AJ Harbinger
  
 “We really made it a focal point to celebrate all the small victories along the way.” - AJ Harbinger
  
 Your confidence is like a skyscraper.
  
 Start out with a positive view of the day, and end your day with gratitude.
  
 The difference between success and lack of success is between your ears.
  
 You are constantly training your mind to focus on things whether you like them or not.
  
 “If you’re feeling like, ‘Wow. You know, I've had so many setbacks.’ I would challenge you to pick up the phone and reach out to the people in your life that you care about.” - AJ Harbinger
  
 Appreciation is actually telling people what you love about them, why you love having them in your life, why you really enjoy that relationship that person has brought to your life. And acceptance is actually inviting them to participate in your life.
  
 The key ingredient in this formula is curiosity -- genuine curiosity.
  
 The simplest way is to approach with gratitude and appreciation, and share with them.
  
 “Who you surround yourself with, and the intentionality of your habits, your lifestyle, is what unlocks these extraordinary levels of success that we look up to.” - AJ Harbinger

      <title>Dr. Judy Ho - The 4 Reasons Why You Self-Sabotage and How to Stop it</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-judy-ho-the-4-reasons-you-self-sabotage-and-how-to-stop-it</link>
      <description>Today on the show we are talking about self-sabotage. This is something that clearly can destroy our own life as well as others if not handled properly. Self-sabotage can be as simple as not making the choices that we know will help us or that are not aligned with who we want to become. Other examples of self-sabotage include: giving up on a fitness journey too soon, not asking someone you like out on a date, or being too afraid to start that side hustle, project, or new career that you’ve dreamt about. Obvious forms of self-sabotage include making decisions you know can make your life worse like doing drugs, drinking excessively, staying in toxic relationships, not showing up for work or school or repetitive negative self-talk.
  
 Watching someone you love and care about “self-sabotage” can be heartbreaking. And we’ve all seen ourselves doing self-sabotaging behavior as well.  You might be asking yourself why do we do this and how can we stop.  
  
 After today’s episode, you will certainly have these questions answered.
  
 Dr. Judy Ho joins me on the show today. She is a triple board certified and licensed Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychologist, a tenured Associate Professor at Pepperdine University, an author most recently penning “Stop Self-Sabotage,” a book detailing a scientifically-driven six-step program to stop self-sabotage.
  
 We will take a deep dive into all things self-sabotage including the 4 reasons that you do it and the exact steps you must take to understand, unwind and stop it in its tracks.  We will also discuss the close relationship between self-sabotage and procrastination.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What inspired Dr. Judy to write an entire book about self sabotage? 
 Why self sabotage does touch every single human being at some point in their live 
 Judy’s advice for people who want to move through the next phase and continue along the journey of achieving what they want 
 The LIFE acronym:
  
 L - low or shaky self-esteem
 I - internalized beliefs
 F - fear of change or the unknown
 E - excessive need for control 
 Real life examples Dr. Judy has seen that a lot of people can relate to 
 The importance of embracing fear and embracing change 
 The scientific way to unwind the self sabotage knot in people’s lives 
 Dr. Judy shares some of her teaching techniques 
 The importance of understanding your pattern 
 The 6 steps to stop self-sabotage explained
  
 Takeaways:
  
 People think, “Well, if I'm feeling this or I'm thinking this and it must be true,” and a lot of times it's not, and we don't have to beat ourselves up about it. In fact, it's sort of like your brain trying to do its best to protect you.
  
 You have to find some way to ride through that anxiety.
  
 “When people procrastinate, it's not usually because you're lazy. You're procrastinating because you have all of these ideas about how you want to do it right. And you don't want to start the process until you can do it right. But then before you know it, you run out of time, and that's where the self-sabotage happens.” Dr. Judy Ho
  
 Rewiring our brain is always something possible no matter what age you are
  
 People don't realize that they're self-sabotaging sometimes, because they're just not aware, and they're not having enough mindfulness to their internal dialogue.
  
 Self-compassion is much more of a motivational factor than beating yourself up.
  
 Once you understand what your triggers are, you understand why you have these barriers to completing a specific goal.
  
 The more you rehearse in your mind, it's actually making connections as if you were doing it in real-time.

      <title>Serena Poon - Why You Must Make Yourself a Priority Before it's Too Late!</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/serena-poon-why-you-must-make-yourself-a-priority-before-its-too-late</link>
      <description>Today’s guest is a celebrity chef and Reiki master Serena Poon. Her clients have included Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Hue Hefner, and many others. 
  
 A leading chef to the Hollywood elite, Serena sets herself apart in a saturated industry with her genuine passion for curating intentional healing and wellness programs designed for optimal and sustainable health. She does this through Integrating energetic techniques and education on food nutrition, how food affects our bodies on a physiological as well as emotional level.
  
 Serena’s devotion to focusing on the importance of whole body, mind, and soul wellness is inspired by the profound effect cancer had on her family, with both her mother and father diagnosed within two years of each other. 
  
 We get into all of this on today’s episode as well as the negative side effects of caregiving.  Taking care of her parents while they were ill nearly cost her her life as she developed MRSA which required multiple surgeries, one of which was nearly fatal. She shares how she bounced back as well as what she wished she would have done differently during that time. We discuss the importance of things like having a mentor, gratitude, and trusting your intuition. Of course, we also talk about her business as well as why you shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to practice self-care.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 How did Serena pivot from being at the very low point in her health to becoming who she is today?
  
 How exactly did Serena built herself out of the hole she was in coming from her near death experience
  
 What Serena would have done differently for her own health to make sure that she was in the proper frame of mind physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle the situation she experienced
  
 Things Serena wishes she would have done in the past to make herself more stable
  
 Serena’s opinion on why most people don’t listen to their body/gut feeling
  
 Serena’s tips that people could do after starting at square one to heal themselves from the inside out
  
 What Serena’s business is like today in the healing aspect of it
  
 Some of Serena’s best practices that she does for herself, and that she talks to her clients about
  
 Why gratitude and meditation are important to help people focus on the positive side of things
  
 Takeaways:
  
 “Any sacrifice I could make, whether it's my health or whatever it is that I needed, I will do that to make sure they [my family] are okay.” - Serena Poon
  
 “We're all caretakers in a way, whether it's a person, or a pet, or your business — ‘cause maybe your business is your baby.” - Serena Poon
  
 You need to have your person (a coach, a mentor, your best friend, or someone who's a little bit older than you)
  
 You have to make sure that you have some sort of support network or help.
  
 “Our bodies are temples. They serve us without us really honoring it all the time for what it is.” - Serena Poon
  
 It’s important to try and eat a rainbow of foods throughout the course of your day.
  
 There's always that flip side — where there's dark, there's light.

      <itunes:summary>Today’s guest is a celebrity chef and Reiki master Serena Poon. Her clients have included Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Hue Hefner, and many others. 
  
 A leading chef to the Hollywood elite, Serena sets herself apart in a saturated industry with her genuine passion for curating intentional healing and wellness programs designed for optimal and sustainable health. She does this through Integrating energetic techniques and education on food nutrition, how food affects our bodies on a physiological as well as emotional level.
  
 Serena’s devotion to focusing on the importance of whole body, mind, and soul wellness is inspired by the profound effect cancer had on her family, with both her mother and father diagnosed within two years of each other. 
  
 We get into all of this on today’s episode as well as the negative side effects of caregiving.  Taking care of her parents while they were ill nearly cost her her life as she developed MRSA which required multiple surgeries, one of which was nearly fatal. She shares how she bounced back as well as what she wished she would have done differently during that time. We discuss the importance of things like having a mentor, gratitude, and trusting your intuition. Of course, we also talk about her business as well as why you shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to practice self-care.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 How did Serena pivot from being at the very low point in her health to becoming who she is today?
  
 How exactly did Serena built herself out of the hole she was in coming from her near death experience
  
 What Serena would have done differently for her own health to make sure that she was in the proper frame of mind physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle the situation she experienced
  
 Things Serena wishes she would have done in the past to make herself more stable
  
 Serena’s opinion on why most people don’t listen to their body/gut feeling
  
 Serena’s tips that people could do after starting at square one to heal themselves from the inside out
  
 What Serena’s business is like today in the healing aspect of it
  
 Some of Serena’s best practices that she does for herself, and that she talks to her clients about

      <title>Dr. Steven Gundry - The Real Reasons You are Always Tired (And What to Do About it)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-steven-gundry-the-real-reasons-you-are-always-tired-and-what-to-do-about-it</link>
      <description>The real reasons you are always tired and what to do about it!!!
  
 It’s no secret that so many people are constantly feeling tired, overwhelmed, stressed, and burned out. I would also say that along those lines people are constantly looking for answers as to why they are feeling a certain way and cannot seem to get a grip on what to do.
  
 The typical culprits that come to mind for lack of energy can be things such as adrenal fatigue, thyroid function, being overwhelmed and your age. Feeling consistently drained and tired can lead to things such as depression, anxiety, weight gain, poor immune function, stress and even addiction.
  
 What if I told you that what you have been told all along is wrong about why we are feeling chronically tired, burned out and fatigued?
  
 What if I also told you that today’s episode will help provide you with some of the answers that you have been looking for and also give you a path forward to master your energy so that you don’t feel so exhausted all of the time. 
  
 My guest today is Dr. Steven Gundry MD is one of the world’s top cardiothoracic surgeons and a pioneer in nutrition, as well as medical director at The International Heart and Lung Institute Center for Restorative Medicine.  He has spent the last two decades studying the microbiome and now helps patients use diet and nutrition as a key form of treatment. He is author of many New York times best selling books including  The Plant Paradox, and his new book The Energy Paradox: What to Do When Your Get-Up-and-Go  Has Got Up and Gone is set to be released tomorrow and is an incredible read and I think you all will enjoy it as well. 
  
 We certainly take a deep dive into his latest book and the story behind why he wrote it, which I believe is something many will relate to. Dr Gundry and I also cover what is at the root cause is of things like fatigue and burn out. He shares the role that inflammation plays into all of this and how it’s related to gut health. He talks about the warning signs that is something off with your health and things you can do to boost your immunity and so much more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What inspired Dr. Gundry to start writing his new book
  
 The root cause of why most people feel burned out and what to do about it.
  
 Dr. Gundry talks about gut health and inflammation and the role it plays in energy production
  
 What does adrenal fatigue actually means
  
 Mitochondria explained
  
 Things that people can do to boost their immunity to help their gut microbiome and to help them gain more energy over the long term.
  
 Importance of Vitamin D3 and sunlight exposure
  
 Why Dr. Gundry believes in “exercise snacks” 
  
 Fasting, and how people can start to implement it into their daily lives today
  
 The importance of postbiotics explained
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Chronic inflammation is coming from a leaky gut and a microbiome.
  
 Fatigue or tiredness, or change in mood is actually one of the most important warning signs our body gives us that something's amiss.
  
 All disease begins in the gut.
  
 When we fix people's leaky gut and stop the inflammation, just the adrenal fatigue goes away.
  
 Mitochondria are these little organelles that are in most of our cells that are the energy producing organelles.
  
 When you move your muscles, your muscles make these really cool hormones that are called Myo-kinds, and these actually tell your brain to build brain cells.
  
 Postbiotics turbocharge mitochondria.
  
 80%+ of diets fail, and it is not a sustainable program.

      <title>Rachel Ngom - The Power of Perseverance, Perspective and Pinterest</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/rachel-ngom-the-power-of-perseverance-perspective-and-pinterest</link>
      <description>Today’s episode on the show reflects deep insights on subjects such as perseverance, perspective, and Pinterest!!!
  
 Rachel Ngom initially caught my attention with her entrepreneurship journey of going from living on food stamps and having negative $400 in her checking account to building a business that was making multiple six figures as well as how she has mastered using the highly popular social media app, Pinterest. Which, as you will learn, can benefit anyone. 
  
 Before we recorded, I also learned that she recently moved to Senegal, a country in West Africa, which is ironically the same place where she met her husband. So, I thought it was only fitting given the times we are in to unpack some of her insights on the move, lifestyle there and also have us take a closer look at what we should be thankful for. 
  
 Today Rachel is the host of the She’s Making an Impact Podcast. She is a business and lead-generation expert, helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs drive more traffic, leads, and sales through Pinterest, blogging, and strategic use of automation.
  
 We certainly uncover her story that I mentioned previously and exactly how she was able to overcome the struggles that came with that. We also discuss how to compress time in order to achieve massive success, creating a new normal in your life to break free from old habits and why you need to take risks in order to get what you want in life.
  
 She shares some business tips, we talk about all things Pinterest, but my favorite part of our conversation was the perspective shift that she experienced from her move to West Africa that she shares. I think y’all will leave this convo feeling more grateful and blessed.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Why she moved to West Africa and the perspective and gratitude gained from doing so.
  
 What it's like living in Senegal 
  
 Her comeback story of going from living on food stamps to making multiple six figures in her business
  
 How she has overcome the multiple adversities in her journey
  
 All things Pinterest and how anyone can benefit from using it
  
 Importance of taking a massive risk in order to achieve success

      <title>Kyle Cease - How to Embrace Your Fears, Live in the Present and Avoid the Happiness Trap</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/kyle-cease-how-to-embrace-your-fears-live-in-the-present-and-avoid-the-happiness-trap</link>
      <description>How to Embrace Your Fears, Live in the Present and Avoid the Happiness Trap!!!
  
 There are a few questions that often replay in our heads:
  
 1. What is my purpose?
  
 2. If I achieve massive success will I finally become happy?
  
 3. How can I learn to finally face my fears?
  
 While these answers aren’t immediately clear, I think logically, we have a sense of what the truth is.
  
 Today we take a deep dive into these topics and there aren’t many people that I think better understand this than Kyle Cease.
  
 Kyle is a New York Times best-selling author and a widely popular comedian turned transformation coach.
  
 As a comedian, Kyle had two #1 Comedy Central specials and was voted as #1 ranking on Comedy Central’s Stand-up Showdown. After leaving his job as an award-winning comedian, Kyle dedicated his life to helping others and created "Evolving Out Loud", which is a growing community with over 400 thousand members worldwide. Kyle has personally coached over fifteen thousand people and his YouTube videos have been watched over 60 million times.
 It was a very thought-provoking conversation where we get into things such as why he decided to leave the entertainment industry after having so much success and the process in doing so. We also discuss the common but not so obvious happiness trap and how to avoid it and be genuinely satisfied.
  
 He shares how to authentically embrace feelings of fear, nervousness, and uncertainty and how to use them to your advantage.
  
 We also chat about staying present and living in the moment while also going after what you want in life and of course we chat about purpose too!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What was going through Kyle’s mind when he made the decision of walking away from the entertainment industry
  
 Kyle talks about fear
  
 Kyle’s advice on how to be genuinely happy and contented
  
 Kyle’s tips to help people embrace their nervousness in a way they can use it to their advantage
  
 The importance of owning your past
  
 Kyle talks about “purpose” and what it really means
  
 How does Kyle coach people to have some sense of goals while maintaining themselves in the present?
  
 The advantages of having open-ended goals
  
 The importance of asking yourself open-ended questions
  
 Kyle’s tips for embracing fear and uncertainty
   
 Takeaways:
  
 When you let go of something, your mind can only measure what you will lose. It can't see what you will gain.
  
 The things that we've kept in our lives, were helping us mask something that has been trying to come up and out.
  
 If you talk from memory, everyone goes in their head. If you talk from the heart, everyone listens from their heart.
  
 Soul first, and then find the things and people that align with that. Let the people that don't align with it leave, it's fine.
  
 Going into the past and future is a denial of what you are.
  
 It's such an insult to God, to say it's up to you to find your purpose, you go quickly. It's implying that you're not on purpose, and that the universe didn't know what it was doing when it created you.
  
 “What I believe 2020 and 2021 are really about on a spiritual level, is it's doing everything it can to truly purge the past, from the earth, like it's trying to take your past from you.” - Kyle Cease

        <![CDATA[<p>How to Embrace Your Fears, Live in the Present and Avoid the Happiness Trap!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>There are a few questions that often replay in our heads:</p> <p> </p> <p>1. What is my purpose?</p> <p> </p> <p>2. If I achieve massive success will I finally become happy?</p> <p> </p> <p>3. How can I learn to finally face my fears?</p> <p> </p> <p>While these answers aren’t immediately clear, I think logically, we have a sense of what the truth is.</p> <p> </p> <p>Today we take a deep dive into these topics and there aren’t many people that I think better understand this than Kyle Cease.</p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle is a New York Times best-selling author and a widely popular comedian turned transformation coach.</p> <p> </p> <p>As a comedian, Kyle had two #1 Comedy Central specials and was voted as #1 ranking on Comedy Central’s Stand-up Showdown. After leaving his job as an award-winning comedian, Kyle dedicated his life to helping others and created "Evolving Out Loud", which is a growing community with over 400 thousand members worldwide. Kyle has personally coached over fifteen thousand people and his YouTube videos have been watched over 60 million times.</p> <p>It was a very thought-provoking conversation where we get into things such as why he decided to leave the entertainment industry after having so much success and the process in doing so. We also discuss the common but not so obvious happiness trap and how to avoid it and be genuinely satisfied.</p> <p> </p> <p>He shares how to authentically embrace feelings of fear, nervousness, and uncertainty and how to use them to your advantage.</p> <p> </p> <p>We also chat about staying present and living in the moment while also going after what you want in life and of course we chat about purpose too!</p> <p> </p> <p>Topics discussed:</p> <p> </p> <p>What was going through Kyle’s mind when he made the decision of walking away from the entertainment industry</p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle talks about fear</p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle’s advice on how to be genuinely happy and contented</p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle’s tips to help people embrace their nervousness in a way they can use it to their advantage</p> <p> </p> <p>The importance of owning your past</p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle talks about “purpose” and what it really means</p> <p> </p> <p>How does Kyle coach people to have some sense of goals while maintaining themselves in the present?</p> <p> </p> <p>The advantages of having open-ended goals</p> <p> </p> <p>The importance of asking yourself open-ended questions</p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle’s tips for embracing fear and uncertainty</p> <p>  </p> <p>Takeaways:</p> <p> </p> <p>When you let go of something, your mind can only measure what you will lose. It can't see what you will gain.</p> <p> </p> <p>The things that we've kept in our lives, were helping us mask something that has been trying to come up and out.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you talk from memory, everyone goes in their head. If you talk from the heart, everyone listens from their heart.</p> <p> </p> <p>Soul first, and then find the things and people that align with that. Let the people that don't align with it leave, it's fine.</p> <p> </p> <p>Going into the past and future is a denial of what you are.</p> <p> </p> <p>It's such an insult to God, to say it's up to you to find your purpose, you go quickly. It's implying that you're not on purpose, and that the universe didn't know what it was doing when it created you.</p> <p> </p> <p>“What I believe 2020 and 2021 are really about on a spiritual level, is it's doing everything it can to truly purge the past, from the earth, like it's trying to take your past from you.” - Kyle Cease</p> <p>  </p> <p>Connect with Kyle:</p> <p> </p> <p>Website: <a href="https://kylecease.com/">https://kylecease.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KyleCeasePage/?ref=br_rs">https://www.facebook.com/KyleCeasePage/?ref=br_rs</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evolvingoutloud/">https://www.instagram.com/evolvingoutloud/</a></p> <p> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/kylecease">https://twitter.com/kylecease</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://castbox.fm/episode/Dr.-Michael-Gervais---The-Advice-You-Need-to-Conquer-Your-Biggest-Fears-and-Struggles-id2597578-id342782128?country=gb">www.instagram.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst/">https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Private Facebook Group:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188">https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p> <p> </p> My Go To Electrolyte Drink     Drink LMNT replaces essential electrolytes with no sugar, no coloring, no artificial ingredients, or any other junk.

      <title>Dr. Caroline Leaf - 5 Secret Steps to Clean Up Your Mental Mess</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-caroline-leaf-5-secret-steps-to-clean-up-your-mental-mess</link>
      <description>5 Secret Steps to Clean Up Your Mental Mess!!!
  
 Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist, a cognitive neuroscientist specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. She is also a best-selling author of many books and a podcast host.
  
 During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory of how we think, build memory and learn, creating practical guides and tools that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias, and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain, helping them succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university and the workplace.
  
 Today we discuss her work and how toxic thoughts actually can affect your brain and how to stop them. She shares the difference between the subconscious, conscious and non-conscious parts of the mind. We talk about why it takes 63 days to form new habits and how to improve your mood if you are feeling off. Dr. Leaf also shares the 5 secret steps that are scientifically proven to clean up your mental mess so that you can live with less stress, anxiety, and toxic thoughts.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What inspired Dr. Leaf to combine the therapeutic and neurological approach, to be able to help so many people?
  
 Where toxic thoughts can lead people and what effects they can really have on people’s brains
  
 The three parts of the mind (non-conscious, conscious, subconscious)
  
 What can people do when they’re having toxic thoughts, feeling depressed, or feeling anxious
  
 Dr. Leaf’s secret 5-step process to clean up your mental mess
  
 The “63 days” explained
  
 How would people go through the 5 steps to be able to begin to rewire their brain in a way that they could create new neural pathways and change the way they talk to themselves?
  
 The importance of awareness
  
 Dr. Leaf’s advice for people who are going through something, and wanting to change their state and get into a better mood
  
 Takeaways:
  
 “I have chosen to look at not just the brain but at the mind.” - Dr. Leaf
  
 Basically, the mind is how you think and feel and choose.
  
 Your brain is not you, your brain is a respondent. You control your brain, your brain doesn't control you.
  
 If you have depression or anxiety, it's not that you have a psychiatric brain disease.
  
 Awareness brings physical, structural malleability, and mind malleability.
  
 The conscious mind work of the five steps needs to be done daily, over 63 days.
  
 It takes at least 63 days for the neuroplasticity to become sustainable, that you actually have a thought you can work from.
  
 You don't ever stop thinking. Your mind never stops. You're always thinking, feeling, and choosing.
  
 When you breathe out longer than you breathe in, that increases your decision-making capability.
  
 You can't control the events and circumstances of life, but you can control your responses and your reactions.

      <title>Abel James - How to Recreate Yourself in the Face of Adversity</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/abel-james-how-to-recreate-yourself-in-the-face-of-adversity</link>
      <description>How to Recreate Yourself in the Face of Adversity!!!
  
 Today on the show we are talking about how to recreate yourself in the face of adversity and I can’t think of many people that have more experience in this than Abel James. Abel is a New York Times Best Selling author,a musician and the host of The Fat Burning Man Show, a podcast with over 50 million downloads.
  
 Abel was a touring musician early on in his life until suddenly the momentum stopped and he was faced with one of the toughest decisions of his life. He had two choices: continue grinding as a touring musician struggling to pay his bills or  change careers to make a sustainable living. He chose the latter and dove deep into the world of health and wellness. The process certainly wasn’t easy, but he used his work ethic from his music career to build something meaningful. He was a celebrity coach on a ABC primetime weight loss show and has been voted as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness by Greatist for several consecutive years. When his debut cooking app, Caveman Feast, beat out The Food Network and Martha Stewart with more than 1,000 5-star reviews in 48 hours, Abel became the first independent publisher to hold Apple's #1 Food App and #1 Health Podcast at the same time.
  
 Today we chat about his story as well as how he keeps himself out of the comparison trap and the power of solitude and disconnecting from technology. We also discuss his best practices for staying grounded and recreating yourself when change is needed. Lastly, he shares the heartbreaking story of how he and his wife nearly died last summer from carbon monoxide poisoning.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 How Abel got really passionate about music
  
 When did he realize that doing music full-time wasn't serving him anymore, and he needed to make a massive change to be able to generate some income and continue to help so many people
  
 What happened to Abel during the moments when he was physically and mentally unhealthy
  
 How does Abel continue to reinvent himself through the years
  
 How does he keep himself out of the comparison trap
  
 Other things Abel does on a daily basis to keep himself grounded
  
 Abel’s thoughts about playing to the algorithm of social media and other platforms
  
 Abel James’ story about the incident happened in July last year that caused him to nearly die.
  
 Abel James’ advice for people who are trying to recreate themselves, their health, their relationship with their inner selves, and trying to recreate some meaning in their lives
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Playing to the algorithm is different than creating what you want to create.
  
 “I think now more than ever is a time to focus on meaning and purpose, and so early in the day, not that everyone can do this right away, you have to prioritize it and find a way to set this up in your own life and set up your own practices to kind of make it automatic.” - Abel James
  
 You have to put your notebook out and get used to writing it. Even if you don't remember your dreams, just write something and be like, “You know what, I don't remember my dreams today, but these are the three things I'm grateful for.”
  
 If you're looking to learn something, then read it and write it down.
  
 Be sure you're not suffering over your own suffering.
  
 Be explicit and write down who you want to be, or what you want your life to be. The more often you do that, the more you start training your brain to build those things.

When his debut cooking app, Caveman Feast, beat out The Food Network and Martha Stewart with more than 1,000 5-star reviews in 48 hours, Abel became the first independent publisher to hold Apple's #1 Food App and #1 Health Podcast at the same time.
  
 Today we chat about his story as well as how he keeps himself out of the comparison trap and the power of solitude and disconnecting from technology. We also discuss his best practices for staying grounded and recreating yourself when change is needed. Lastly, he shares the heartbreaking story of how he and his wife nearly died last summer from carbon monoxide poisoning.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 How Abel got really passionate about music
  
 When did he realize that doing music full-time wasn't serving him anymore, and he needed to make a massive change to be able to generate some income and continue to help so many people
  
 What happened to Abel during the moments when he was physically and mentally unhealthy
  
 How does Abel continue to reinvent himself through the years
  
 How does he keep himself out of the comparison trap
  
 Other things Abel does on a daily basis to keep himself grounded
  
 Abel’s thoughts about playing to the algorithm of social media and other platforms
  
 Abel James’ story about the incident happened in July last year that caused him to nearly die.
  
 Abel James’ advice for people who are trying to recreate themselves, their health, their relationship with their inner selves, and trying to recreate some meaning in their lives
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Playing to the algorithm is different than creating what you want to create.
  
 “I think now more than ever is a time to focus on meaning and purpose, and so early in the day, not that everyone can do this right away, you have to prioritize it and find a way to set this up in your own life and set up your own practices to kind of make it automatic.” - Abel James
  
 You have to put your notebook out and get used to writing it. Even if you don't remember your dreams, just write something and be like, “You know what, I don't remember my dreams today, but these are the three things I'm grateful for.”
  
 If you're looking to learn something, then read it and write it down.
  
 Be sure you're not suffering over your own suffering.
  
 Be explicit and write down who you want to be, or what you want your life to be. The more often you do that, the more you start training your brain to build those things.

        <![CDATA[<p>How to Recreate Yourself in the Face of Adversity!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Today on the show we are talking about how to recreate yourself in the face of adversity and I can’t think of many people that have more experience in this than Abel James. Abel is a New York Times Best Selling author,a musician and the host of The Fat Burning Man Show, a podcast with over 50 million downloads.</p> <p> </p> <p>Abel was a touring musician early on in his life until suddenly the momentum stopped and he was faced with one of the toughest decisions of his life. He had two choices: continue grinding as a touring musician struggling to pay his bills or  change careers to make a sustainable living. He chose the latter and dove deep into the world of health and wellness. The process certainly wasn’t easy, but he used his work ethic from his music career to build something meaningful.

      <title>Dr. Daniel Amen - How to Optimize Your Brain Health to Improve Your Well-being</title>

      <description>How to Optimize Your Brain Health to Improve Your Well-being!!!
  
 Today’s guest on the show is Dr. Daniel Amen. He is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, with 9 locations across the United States.
  
 Amen Clinics has the world’s largest database of brain scans related to behavior, totaling more than 170,000 scans on patients from 150 countries.  Dr. Amen’s research team has published more than 80 scientific articles and Discover Magazine named his research as one of the Top Stories in Science for 2015.  Dr. Amen has also written, produced, and hosted 15 national public television shows about the brain that have aired over 125,000 times across North America. He is widely regarded as a gifted teacher.
  
 Addiction, suicide and other mental health issues-are on the rise thanks to the pandemic and I wanted to get Dr. Amen on the show to talk about what the path forward is, if there is one. He said that early in the pandemic anxiety medication prescriptions were up 34% and fears they are much higher now.
  
 He talks about why need to start by reducing the stigma and addressing mental illness as a brain issue and not a mental health issue. We also discuss what actually works to calm the brain when it’s in a heightened state of anxiety and how to overcome negative thoughts for good. One of the most fascinating things we discussed is his new revolutionary 12 step program that addresses the physical health of the brain which is part of his newest book Your Brain is Always Listening: Tame the Hidden Dragons that control your happiness, habits and hangups that is available for pre sale now and officially on sale on Tuesday March 2nd. 
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Difference between mental illness and brain health issues
  
 What are the few things that people tend to do to kind of get them on a path that leads them to having an optimal brain health?
  
 Does vaping and smoking cigarettes give people’s brains the same response as what drugs do, based on Dr. Amen’s research?
  
 The inspiration behind Dr. Amen’s new book
  
 The reason why he used “dragons” as a representation in his latest book
  
 Side effects of the anxiety medication
  
 How changing habits can affect brain health
  
 The best practices that Dr. Amen talked about in the book that can help people stop the automatic negative thoughts
  
 The effects of social media in people’s brain
  
 The importance of addressing the physical brain to improve brain health
  
 Dr. Amen’s 12 step program
  
 Things that actually work to calm the brain when it's in a heightened state
  
 Takeaways:
  
 “I have always hated the term mental illness. I would never want to be diagnosed with a mental illness. It shames people, it stigmatizes people, and it's wrong.” - Dr. Daniel Amen
  
 The most psychiatric issues are not mental health issues at all. They’re brain health issues.
  
 The real reason not to use drugs is they damage your brain. If they damage your brain, they damage everything in your life.
  
 Discipline doesn't mean to beat your mind. It just means to teach your mind, and to train your mind.
  
 If you don't admit you have a problem. You can't do anything to solve it. But you are not the problem.
  
 Once you learn how to be healthy, you have to share it, because it is in the act of giving you create your own support group, making it more likely you're gonna stay on the program forever.
  
 Life is complicated. That's why God gave us a big brain so that we can manage it.
  
 You are not your mind.

      <title>BJ Fogg - The Secret to Creating Healthy Habits That Last</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/bj-fogg-the-secret-to-creating-healthy-habits-that-last</link>
      <description>The Secret to Creating Healthy Habits That Last!!!
  
 Your habits can either make or break you. We often wonder, how we end up in destructive patterns or at a stalemate in life. We all make a conscious effort to create new habits that are healthier and better for us. We often see this at the beginning of the year with New Year's resolutions. Starting a habit is easy. Sticking with it is where the challenge arises. Today’s guest is the “ultimate guru” in habit formation. At the end of this episode, you will know how to create healthy habits that last and break those that don’t serve you. 
  
 My guest today is BJ Fogg. BJ is a behavior scientist at Stanford University where he directs research and innovation at the Behavior Design Lab that he is the founder of.
  
 In addition to his research, Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. and is the author of the New York Times best-selling book, “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything.” BJ  has personally coached over 40,000 people in creating habits using his online platform and email.
  
 In this episode, you are going to learn how important taking small steps are when it comes to habit formation. We also discuss the difference between a habit and behavior, the exact steps needed to create behaviors and habits that last, how to make behavior change easy, the importance of celebrating small wins, and habits we can create to sleep better and reduce screen time and so much more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What's the difference between a habit and behavior?
  
 Good habits and bad habits get started in the same way
  
 Why motivation alone won't help you build a habit
  
 How can you construct habits?
  
 What can you do in order to sleep better?
  
 The “after” approach
  
 The needed actions to take golden behaviors
  
 Why it is so important to celebrate small wins
  
 Ways that people can make behaviors easy
  
 Importance of being grateful
  
 Untangling a habit that's not serving us
  
 BJ’s tips to get rid of your phone in the bedroom and reduce “screen time”
  
 Importance of having policies to redesign your environment.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Habit is a type of behavior.
  
 If you draw a big circle, it's like, that's human behavior. Within that circle, you can draw a smaller circle and say, that is a habit.
  
 It's emotions that make the habit become solidified in our brains and in our lives.
  
 Start where you want to start.
  
 If you can make it so tiny that it doesn't require any motivation or really any time, then you really can be very consistent.
  
 The association of the positive emotion with the behavior is what turns it into a habit.
  
 18% of people within five days report making a big change when doing tiny habits. That's almost one-fifth of the people within five days.
  
 Get set up, make it easy, and then design it into your life. If it works, keep going. And if it doesn't try something else.
  
 “Untangle” is a better word than “break”.
  
 “Untangle” is a process, and it's a process people are familiar with.

      <itunes:summary>The Secret to Creating Healthy Habits That Last!!!
  
 Your habits can either make or break you. We often wonder, how we end up in destructive patterns or at a stalemate in life. We all make a conscious effort to create new habits that are healthier and better for us. We often see this at the beginning of the year with New Year's resolutions. Starting a habit is easy. Sticking with it is where the challenge arises. Today’s guest is the “ultimate guru” in habit formation. At the end of this episode, you will know how to create healthy habits that last and break those that don’t serve you. 
  
 My guest today is BJ Fogg. BJ is a behavior scientist at Stanford University where he directs research and innovation at the Behavior Design Lab that he is the founder of.
  
 In addition to his research, Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. and is the author of the New York Times best-selling book, “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything.” BJ  has personally coached over 40,000 people in creating habits using his online platform and email.
  
 In this episode, you are going to learn how important taking small steps are when it comes to habit formation. We also discuss the difference between a habit and behavior, the exact steps needed to create behaviors and habits that last, how to make behavior change easy, the importance of celebrating small wins, and habits we can create to sleep better and reduce screen time and so much more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 What's the difference between a habit and behavior?
  
 Good habits and bad habits get started in the same way
  
 Why motivation alone won't help you build a habit
  
 How can you construct habits?
  
 What can you do in order to sleep better?
  
 The “after” approach
  
 The needed actions to take golden behaviors
  
 Why it is so important to celebrate small wins
  
 Ways that people can make behaviors easy
  
 Importance of being grateful
  
 Untangling a habit that's not serving us
  
 BJ’s tips to get rid of your phone in the bedroom and reduce “screen time”
  
 Importance of having policies to redesign your environment.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Habit is a type of behavior.
  
 If you draw a big circle, it's like, that's human behavior. Within that circle, you can draw a smaller circle and say, that is a habit.
  
 It's emotions that make the habit become solidified in our brains and in our lives.
  
 Start where you want to start.
  
 If you can make it so tiny that it doesn't require any motivation or really any time, then you really can be very consistent.
  
 The association of the positive emotion with the behavior is what turns it into a habit.
  
 18% of people within five days report making a big change when doing tiny habits. That's almost one-fifth of the people within five days.
  
 Get set up, make it easy, and then design it into your life. If it works, keep going. And if it doesn't try something else.
  
 “Untangle” is a better word than “break”.
  
 “Untangle” is a process, and it's a process people are familiar with.

      <title>Tony Horton - Creator of P90x Shares Why He Left Beachbody and His Journey of Reinvention</title>

      <description>Creator of P90x Shares Why He Left Beachbody and His Journey of Reinvention!!!!
  
 Today on the podcast I have the pioneer in the online program creation space and the man that helped put the company Beachbody on the map with his revolutionary workout program, P90X. Listen, I have been a trainer now for almost a decade and I have seen many online workout programs come and go and this one has managed to weather the storms. I think you are going to really enjoy hearing more about the journey of Tony Horton. Tony is on the show today and as I hinted he is the wildly popular creator of the best-selling  P90X®fitness series. He is also a best selling author and one of the most motivating people you will ever come across. 
  
 He shares the ins and outs of how he went from training rockstars like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen to getting started with Beachbody and creating arguably one of the most popular fitness programs of all time. He is going to walk you along that path as well as talk about why he split from Beachbody and was actually “scared to death” afterwards. We discuss how Tony reinvented himself afterwards and what he is up to now. We also talk about a recent massive health scare that Tony experienced and how it impacted his mental health and how he has bounced back since.
  
 This episode is going to hit home with many and is going to help inspire and give you the tools needed to have success even when you have failed time and time again. You will also gain a lot of insight on how to truly create a meaningful transformation from one of the most popular fitness coaches of all time.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Tony’s workout routine
  
 How did Tony’s workout program start and how they do it when there’s still no social media
  
 The inspiration behind P90X
  
 Tony Horton and Carl Daikeler and how they met
  
 The most fulfilling part for Tony
  
 In life after Beachbody, how did the sequels end up doing, and which are the most popular ones
  
 Looking back, would Tony wish in some shape or fashion that he would have just stopped after P90x?
  
 What was the main reason behind why they parted ways 2 years ago?
  
 Did Tony feel like he was at a low point after he called it quits with Beachbody?
  
 Does Tony ask himself questions like, “Who am I? Who am I anymore without Beachbody?”
  
 Tony’s advice for the people that just can't seem to find success.
  
 Tony’s story about the illness he experienced years ago
  
 How did Tony’s health scare affect his mental health?
  
 Tony’s advice for someone to create a meaningful transformation
  
  Takeaways:
  
 There’s nothing more fulfilling than hearing the stories of the people that you meet, and knowing that you've had an impact on tens of millions of people's lives.
  
 Sometimes, you just gotta look out for yourself and your family, and you gotta get up and go. If you don't like the way people are treating you anymore, then you’ve got to go and win. No hard feelings.
  
 “It's been hard, and it's bumpier now than ever, but whatever.” - Tony Horton
  
 Figure out your purpose. Your purpose should be “I have to do this because if I don't do this, I'm just surviving like every other bonehead in the world that doesn't know what to do, or refuses to do it.”
  
 You just need to have some really cool badass people who inspire you in your life.
  
 Take pencil to paper and write them down. And then figure out who, what, where, and when do you need to find solutions for these things that you know you need
  
 Successful people are usually people who had it pretty rough for a large section of their life.

      <title>Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger on Finding Faith, Forgiveness, Hope and Freedom</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/the-blueprint-to-finding-faith-forgiveness-hope-and-freedom-with-holocaust-survivor-dr-edith-eger</link>
      <description>Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger on Finding Faith, Forgiveness, Hope and Freedom!!!
  
 Viktor Frankl states “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” 
  
 Unfortunate events, trials and hardships will always come. But what defines us isn’t the situation itself, it’s our response. Control what you can, focus your energy on the positive and have faith that things will get better. While this approach won’t guarantee you success, the alternative certainly will push you further away from it.
  
 My guest today is a survivor of one of the most horrific, challenging and dark times the world has ever seen: the Holocaust. As a teenager, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, one of the most horrendous concentration camps of that time.
  
 I can’t even begin to imagine how traumatic, difficult and frightening it was for her. Many of you are wondering if her situation could possibly get any worse. It did. Her parents were killed in the gas chamber the day they arrived. 
  
 Some of her mother’s last words to her were this:  
  
 “We don’t know where we’re are going. We don't know what's going to happen. Just remember, no one can take away what you’ve put in your mind.”
  
 She took those words to heart and they became the core for her survival. Today, she is not only surviving, but she is thriving.
  
 Dr. Edith Eger who is 93 years old, joins me on the show today. She is a highly sought after psychologist, author and keynote speaker. Edie, as her friends affectionately call her, obtained her doctorate in psychology and learned to use her imprisonment at Auschwitz as a powerful analogy for the prisons we create in our own minds. Her mission is now to inspire others to discard their limitations and find renewal and freedom within themselves. After becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author with her memoir, "The Choice," Dr. Eger wrote a hands-on guide to overcoming trauma called "The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life." It was released last fall. 
  
 We talk about how to maintain faith despite any horrible situation, finding forgiveness, redefining who you are as a person despite your past and maintaining your sanity as well as controlling your emotions during times of distress. We also discuss why you can’t heal what you don’t feel and why she needed to return to Auschwitz to heal from her traumatic experience and more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
  How Dr. Edith’s faith in God evolved through the years and even during those hard times.
   
  Advice for someone who's in the moments of feeling spiritually lost, and they just don't know what to believe in
   
  How to be able to redefine who you were as a person, despite your past
   
  How going back to Auschwitz helped Dr. Edith to move through that dark time in her life.
   
  Mom of Dr. Edith’s last words and how it helped her navigate through all the horrible experiences and turned them into something positive
   
  Dr. Edith’s advice for the people as a society to come together and display a sense of unity
   
  Things that Dr. Edith regrets 
   
  Dr. Edith’s opinion about the word “rejection”
   
  Dr. Edith talks about forgiveness
   
  The difference between belief and faith
   
 Words of wisdom from Dr. Edith Eger:
  
 It's very important to differentiate between reacting or responding.
  
 “The darker things appear to be, the closer I felt the wonderful God that taught me how to turn hatred into pity.” - Dr. Edith Eger
  
 Whatever happened to you, you cannot change the past, but you can change your attitude.
  
 You cannot heal what you don't fear.
  
 “I think young, but not young and foolish. It's very important to be young and be childlike, but not childish.” - Dr. Edith Eger
  
 God gave us temptations so we can practice the freedom of choice.
  
 Anger is not the primary emotion. Underneath the anger is a lot of fear. And love and fear does not co-exist.
  
 Self-love is self-care. It's not narcissistic.

      <itunes:summary>Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger on Finding Faith, Forgiveness, Hope and Freedom!!!
  
 Viktor Frankl states “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” 
  
 Unfortunate events, trials and hardships will always come. But what defines us isn’t the situation itself, it’s our response. Control what you can, focus your energy on the positive and have faith that things will get better. While this approach won’t guarantee you success, the alternative certainly will push you further away from it.
  
 My guest today is a survivor of one of the most horrific, challenging and dark times the world has ever seen: the Holocaust. As a teenager, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, one of the most horrendous concentration camps of that time.
  
 I can’t even begin to imagine how traumatic, difficult and frightening it was for her. Many of you are wondering if her situation could possibly get any worse. It did. Her parents were killed in the gas chamber the day they arrived. 
  
 Some of her mother’s last words to her were this:  
  
 “We don’t know where we’re are going. We don't know what's going to happen. Just remember, no one can take away what you’ve put in your mind.”
  
 She took those words to heart and they became the core for her survival. Today, she is not only surviving, but she is thriving.
  
 Dr. Edith Eger who is 93 years old, joins me on the show today. She is a highly sought after psychologist, author and keynote speaker. Edie, as her friends affectionately call her, obtained her doctorate in psychology and learned to use her imprisonment at Auschwitz as a powerful analogy for the prisons we create in our own minds. Her mission is now to inspire others to discard their limitations and find renewal and freedom within themselves. After becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author with her memoir, "The Choice," Dr. Eger wrote a hands-on guide to overcoming trauma called "The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life." It was released last fall. 
  
 We talk about how to maintain faith despite any horrible situation, finding forgiveness, redefining who you are as a person despite your past and maintaining your sanity as well as controlling your emotions during times of distress. We also discuss why you can’t heal what you don’t feel and why she needed to return to Auschwitz to heal from her traumatic experience and more!
  
 Topics discussed:
  
  How Dr. Edith’s faith in God evolved through the years and even during those hard times.
   
  Advice for someone who's in the moments of feeling spiritually lost, and they just don't know what to believe in
   
  How to be able to redefine who you were as a person, despite your past
   
  How going back to Auschwitz helped Dr. Edith to move through that dark time in her life.
   
  Mom of Dr. Edith’s last words and how it helped her navigate through all the horrible experiences and turned them into something positive
   
  Dr. Edith’s advice for the people as a society to come together and display a sense of unity
   
  Things that Dr. Edith regrets 
   
  Dr. Edith’s opinion about the word “rejection”
   
  Dr. Edith talks about forgiveness
   
  The difference between belief and faith
   
 Words of wisdom from Dr. Edith Eger:

      <title>Jay Ferruggia -  How to Develop Unbreakable Social Skills</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jay-ferruggia-the-blueprint-for-how-to-develop-unbreakable-social-skills</link>
      <description>The Blueprint for How to Develop Unbreakable Social Skills!!!
  
 My guest today is Jay Ferruggia, a fitness and coaching OG. He’s been helping people become a stronger version of themselves since 1994. His clients include CEO’s and professional athletes in the MLB, NFL AND WWE. Jay is also the host of the popular podcast, Renegade Radio with Jay Ferruggia.
  
 You may have seen his work in Men’s Health, Muscle &amp; Fitness, Maximum Fitness, Men’s Fitness, Fast Company, Huffington Post, LiveStrong, Muscle &amp; Fitness Hers, Shape, Entrepreneur, Details, or on ESPN or CBS.
  
 Surveying his social media profiles imparts an impressive physical specimen. But, what’s most impressive is how grounded he is mentally, emotionally and spiritually. He is a master connector, networker and makes new friends and contacts with ease. This guy is full of wisdom. Just check out his instagram to see for yourself.
  
 This success did not come easy for Jay. Growing up he was the “skinny kid” who was socially awkward, shy and insecure. He also struggled with mental health and even addiction. But, today he stands strong and shares his story and the blueprint to improving your social skills, building meaningful relationships, exercising your emotional muscles and of course we chat fitness.
  
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 How did Jay go from working in the brick and mortar facility to pivoting online?
  
 Why it is important to take a deeper look inside yourself and actually work on the emotional mental muscles too
  
 The importance of social skills and giving compliments
  
 The importance of having aspirational affirmations
  
 How did building relationships impact Jay’s success professionally and personally?
  
 Jay’s advice for someone who's interested in hiring a coach or getting into one of the networking groups and what to look for
  
 Few staples that Jay thinks everybody should include in their own health journey for 2021
  
 Why it is important to prioritize sleep
  
 Takeaways:
  
 The reality is when you focus on other people and you give them the gift of your attention and connection (gift of a smile or a compliment) that's an amazing gift to give them and then you will feel great.
  
 You’ve got to take care of your people. You’ve got to check in on your people. You’ve got to be a value to people.
  
 You could do anything, as long as you're confident and put yourself out there.
  
 Prioritize sleep and every single thing will get better.
  
 Connect with people and build strong relationships. That is really one of the most important pillars and foundations of good health.

      <description>The One Molecule That Could Jeopardize The Human Race!!!!
  
 Have you wondered why people become addicted to drugs, sex, success, porn, and social media? It all boils down to one molecule: Dopamine or as my guest, today calls it “the molecule of more.” Dopamine is a double-edged sword because it certainly has many positive benefits like creativity, taking action, falling in love, excitement and ambition. But dopamine, if not managed correctly, can lead you to the depths of divorce, despair, destruction, and even death. 
  
 My guest today is Daniel Z. Lieberman, M.D. He is professor and vice chair for clinical affairs in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. Dr. Lieberman is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a recipient of the Caron Foundation Research Award, and he has published over 50 scientific reports on behavioral science. He has provided insight on psychiatric issues for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the US Department of Commerce, and the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy, and has discussed mental health in interviews on CNN, C-SPAN, and PBS. 
  
 We are going to talk about dopamine, which is the main subject of Daniel’s book called, "The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity―and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race."
  
 In this episode, we discuss what dopamine, is and how it’s responsible for things like addiction, cravings, love, sex, pleasure and social media use. He shares why people who end up super successful end up suffering with their mental health and even turn to suicide.  We get into how to handle desire and achievement in a healthy way as well what drugs and social media actually do to the brain. So fasten your seatbelt, get out your pen and paper so you can learn to have a healthy relationship with dopamine and let’s get this conversation going with Dr. Daniel Z Lieberman.
  
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 How do drugs and substances impact the mind
 What is dopamine?
 Peri-personal space in the brain
 Extra-personal space in the brain
 Daniel’s thoughts about people who turned to things like drugs, alcohol, suicide, just to deal with their problems after they achieve something so meaningful.
 How to handle things such as ambition and achievement properly, and not to focus on wanting more
 Why do opioids cause people to really get addicted?
 Dopaminergic pleasure
 Control dopamine circuit
 Desire dopamine circuit
 Genetic predisposition
 What are the few things that have been successful in helping people rewire their pleasure and desire circuits?
 What can people do to help others who are suffering from addiction?
 The different kinds of love
 The different phases of the human sexual cycle
 Daniel’s take on social media
 What effect does social media have on the brain?
 How to have a healthy relationship with dopamine
 The observing ego
 Delusions and psychosis
  
 Takeaways:
  
 The single most important thing in this world was the human mind.
  
 In order to get something you don't have, the first step is you've gotta want it so that you're willing to put in the work.
  
 Dopamine is interested in what we don't have, and as soon as what you want becomes what you have, dopamine shuts off.
  
 The kind of people who can most afford a beach house are least able to enjoy it.
  
 The main purpose of the brain is to keep us alive, keep us functioning, keep us reproducing, basically keep us obeying dopamine.
  
 Craving is when you feel that there is nothing that can make you feel good, and nothing can make you feel satisfied unless you use that substance.
  
 What happens with addiction is that we have an imbalance between the desire and the control circuits.
  
 The real key to helping people overcome addiction is going to be in the kinds of new relationships they're able to form.
  
 Love is a dopaminergic phenomenon. It's not so different from getting very, very high on drugs.
  
 Healthy behavior is a habit. You can't jump to the finish line in one leap. You’ve got to start out with doing small things consistently, and that will strengthen your brain and enable you to do big things under extraordinary circumstances.
  
 Always be honest with yourself.

      <title>Adam Sud - Why Exercise and Nutrition is a Must For Recovery From Addiction</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/adam-sud-why-exercise-and-nutrition-is-a-must-for-recovery-from-addiction</link>
      <description>"Addicts are not criminals, they are humans in pain. People who are depressed are not sick, they are humans in pain. People who are suicidal aren't crazy, they aren't humans in pain" - Adam Sud
  
 In 2012, Adam Sud’s life was completely out of control. Once weighing nearly 350lbs and struggling with multiple addictions, serious chronic diseases, and mental health disorders. His life nearly came to an end when he attempted suicide by drug overdose.
  
 He checked into rehab and with the help of his parents and a plant-based diet, he began a journey that led to a remarkable recovery. Reversing all of his chronic diseases and getting off all of his medications, including his psych meds within 1 year and losing 180lbs.
  
 Adam is the founder of the non-profit, Plant-Based for Positive Change that is dedicated to advancing the research of diet and mental health/addiction, and is running the very first research study to investigate the effects of a plant-based diet intervention on early addiction recovery outcomes. He is an international speaker for the plant-based movement and addiction recovery movement.
  
 Adam has worked in recovery centers using plant-based nutrition as a tool for strengthening recovery and relapse prevention. He firmly believes that the simplest change on your fork can make the most profound change of your life and that self-love is the root of all recovery. 
  
 Topics discussed:
  
  What it’s like to be addicted to drugs
   
  Adam’s suicidal story and how he survived it
   
  Adam’s recovery journey
   
  How being of service helped Adam fuel his recovery and keep him on fire for not being that person he used to be
   
  Adam talks about their current research study called The INFINITE Study
   
  The importance of gut microbiome
   
  The importance of self-love and taking care of our body
   
  Simple ways to help someone who is in pain
   
 Takeaways:
  
 Anybody who's focused solely on the short term will is misled every single time.
  
 Recovery is a process of becoming whole.
  
 Recovery is always more valuable than sobriety (there is a difference).
  
 There is an amazing transformation that occurs when you make the decisions that you want, based on how you're going to connect to what matters most to you in life.
  
 Negative consequences don't motivate a single person on the planet.
  
 Being of service is a human trait that's necessary for a meaningful life.
  
 I'm not telling people they have to be vegan. But what we're showing is that there is a direct relationship between eating more plants, and your mental health outcomes.

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/the-holistic-psychologist-dr-nicole-lepera-a-masterclass-on-how-to-heal-your-past-and-do-the-inner-work</link>
      <description>I bet many of you reading this are feeling stuck in some way. Whether it’s in your business, in your personal life or your relationships I am sure you’ve been wanting to finally break free from your past and heal. I am going to share a little secret with you. Even though your life isn’t “chaotic” it doesn’t mean that unhealthy behaviors aren’t holding you back from living your best life.
  
 Struggling to make change, self-sabotage, people-pleasing, addictions, constant feelings of anxiety/fear/stress, toxic relationships, feeling unfulfilled…. These are all signs that you are stuck and living in the past.
  
 I got you thinking now, didn’t I?
  
 I have been tracking down this person to get this interview for quite some time and after hearing who it is you will understand why. Her approach to healing is extraordinarily popular because of the way that it empowers people to have control over their thoughts, emotions, and actions.  Remember, healing and doing the work is a daily practice.  It certainly isn’t easy and takes time. There are many tools that can help you on your journey and she and I will discuss them all.
  
 But please, remember that the goal isn’t to implement these all at once.
  
 It’s simply to start small and begin to build new healthy habits one by one that will allow you to become your best self. Doing this will help you finally escape from the prison of your past so that you can be free to become the person you aspire.
  
 Many of you will recognize today's guest from her highly popular social media platform. Some of you have may have participated in her selfhealers circle or have reposted or have seen some of her viral content. 
  
 I am very excited that Dr. Nicole LePera or as many of you know her The Holistic Psychologist is joining me on the show today. She is here to provide a masterclass on all things healing, including doing the inner work and holistic psychology.  
  
 As a clinical psychologist in private practice, she often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy.  Wanting more for her patients— and for self— she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. 
  
 Her book “How to do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal From Your Past, and Create Your Self" is set to be released on March 9th but is available now for presale.  Her book should undoubtedly be on your must read list for the spring. 
  
 We discuss why fitness can be a catalyst for change, why therapy alone won’t heal you, how to stop feeling stressed and anxious when you have nothing to be stressed about, how to know if you have experienced trauma and how to develop self awareness and belief in yourself so that you can feel worthy and stop repeating old patterns, heal and thrive.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Nicoles backstory
  
 Nicole's long battle with anxiety
  
 Nicole's physical health issues such as digestion issues, sleep issues, brain fog 
  
 The mind body soul connection
  
 The importance of fitness and taking care of yourself
  
 The pivotal role fitness played in Nicole's healing journey
  
 The meaning of holistic psychology
  
 What is homeostasis/How does homeostasis relate to our previous patterns and conditioning/How can homeostasis show up with some of our struggles today?
  
 Some tips to help people discover if they've gone through something that has impacted them in a way that shows up in a negative way today
  
 Some ways that people can take a couple of steps to become more self-aware
  
 Ways for people to cultivate belief in themselves so that they can get back on the right foot in their life
  
 The reticular activating system
  
 The importance of going back to childhood specifically when they're experiencing discomfort or unhealthy patterns of behaviors
  
 The next step where someone can move forward when they already have established self awareness
  
 Nicole’s advice for people who are starting to set boundaries and what are some simple ways to do it
  
 What is ego?
  
 How can somebody do some proactive work to check their ego and be more self-aware
  
 How to set healthy boundaries
  
 The importance of working on yourself first.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Holistic means mind, body, soul, and exploring the very real underlying drivers of how we act, think, and live our day to day life.
  
 Anytime we're struggling to create change, even if we know better or we can see a different future based on a different choice, usually it is an indicator that something deeper is preventing us from doing that. It's a good place to dive in and to look at what comes up.
  
 We have to learn moment to moment how to be present in our body so that over time, we can continue to meet its ever changing needs.
  
 Beliefs are so important and so impactful in how we experience and how we perceive our day to day happenings.
  
 Anything new is going to challenge that homeostatic impulse, that desire to be back in that familiar. 
  
 Pick one thing and set a small daily promise each and every day, to keep that one promise. Break it down until it's almost so small.
  
 As humans, we're actually wired to be in relationships with other people.
  
 Boundaries are separation. They allow us to create safety so that we can more authentically honor our physical, spiritual and emotional needs, which then set us up to authentically show up for our relationships.
  
 Ego is the story about ourselves.

      <description>How to Become More Positive Right Now!!!
  
 There are many of you right now that are hurting. You are going through some tough times and Things like uncertainty, fear and negativity have taken over. I get it, and I have been there before, have felt that way before. But, what I found is that when I stay down for a period of time and focus on what’s going wrong in my life, it not only makes things worse. The negativity prevents us from accomplishing the very things that we want: happiness, hope and harmony.
  
 With that said, there are a few things you can do right now to shift your mindset and turn your fears into faith, pessimism into optimism, negativity into positivity. There are many of you whose response to a tough situation is the trigger to sustained hardship. What brings you down and keeps you there isn’t the situation in and of itself but your response to the situation and your attitude in the recovery phase. Remember it’s okay to feel down, stressed and negative about whatever happened, what isn’t okay is staying there. Overcoming hard times and accepting things out of your comfort zone begins with believing in yourself. Coupling a strong belief system with a positive mindset is a MUST for turning any setback into a comeback. While it doesn’t always guarantee you success, it gives you a stronger chance. As it’s incredibly difficult when you’re in the thick of it, I called in just the person to give you the tools necessary to become more positive in any situation. His name is Jon Gordon. 
  
 Jon Gordon is a husband, father, and author. His best-selling books and talks have inspired readers and audiences around the world. He is the author of The Energy Bus, The Carpenter, Training Camp, The Power of Positive Leadership, The Power of a Positive Team, The Coffee Bean, The Garden, Relationship Grit, Coffee Bean for Kids and many others. When he’s not running through airports or speaking to businesses, hospitals or schools, you can find him spending time with his family and taking long walks which are when he gets most of his ideas. Jon believes in keeping his bio short because his past accomplishments are meaningless. What matters most is that he says something today that will inspire you to take action tomorrow.
  
 This episode is short, sweet and to the point and by the end you will have the exact steps needed to turn any negative situation into a positive one and do what’s needed to shift your mindset.

      <description>Former Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney on How to Face Your Fears, Build Resilience and Achieve Optimal Performance!!!
  
 In this episode, a retired Navy SEAL commander is going to help you understand that getting through and managing fear, anxiety and stress in a healthy way is 100% possible and a must when it comes to living your best life. Overcoming challenges and doing hard things in your life will help you grow stronger mentally, physically and emotionally. It is also one of the best ways to develop true self-confidence.
  
 This is a must listen for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of how face your fears practically and effectively, build resiliency and recover from setbacks quickly and efficiently. This is also for anyone who is looking to develop the attributes needed for optimal performance.
  
 In a world that is full of uncertainty, this episode will show you why you need to accept the unknown that life brings and control what you can. After doing so, you can effectively get through life’s difficulties by using attributes such as perseverance, resiliency, and courage. The cool thing is the more you exercise these so called attributes, the easier it is to use them. In doing this, it will lead you down a path filled with strength, fortitude, hope and ultimately achieving optimal performance. Much of this is discussed in my guest, Rich Diviney’s new book, The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance.
  
 Rich was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small group of the most elite optimal performers. But Diviney was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The answer was in better understanding ATTRIBUTES. In his new book, The Attributes, Diviney shows how to discover and develop our innate attributes for performing optimally and having long-term success.
  
 He is a retired Navy SEAL commander. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments—eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, Diviney spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.
  
 Since his retirement in early 2017, Diviney has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman &amp; Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. He’s taught leadership and optimal performance to more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders from organizations such as American Airlines, Meijer Inc., the San Francisco 49ers, Pegasystems, Zoom, and Deloitte.
  
 We talk about Rich’s tips for managing anxiety and how to become more resilient. We discuss courage and why it’s so important for getting through hard times. Rich also provides advice on how to recharge in a way so that you can recover quickly and efficiently and so much more!
  
 Some of the topics discussed include:
  
 Rich's backstory
  
 What the whole notion of courage means and how it can really help people get through hard times.
  
 Rich’s tips on how to manage anxiety
  
 The 3-foot world
  
 Rich talking about "The Attributes"
  
 The difference between perseverance and resilience
  
 Tenacity and persistence
  
 How to build a resiliency muscle
  
 The importance of setting achieving goals and what it does to a person’s mind
  
 The difference between peak and optimal performance
  
 Why having optimal performance is a must for success
  
 Managing uncertainty, anxiety, and fear
  
 The difference between self-discipline, and discipline
  
 Rich’s advice for people to recharge in a way that they're able to recover quickly and efficiently
  
 The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems
  
 The active visualization
  
 The two of the attributes that Rich is still continuing to work on himself right now
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Fear is really the combination of uncertainty and anxiety.
  
 Focus on what you can control.
  
 Skills are not inherent to our nature. We learn them.
  
 Perseverance is more about the act of moving through a stress challenge, and resilience is more about the act of rebounding afterward.
  
 Moving through stress challenges and uncertainty makes you stronger.
  
 As human beings, our brains are question-answering machines.
  
 The quality of our lives is directly proportional to the quality of questions we consistently ask ourselves.
  
 In life, you can't necessarily plan peaks.
  
 The sympathetic system is what fires off when you are in action.

      <title>Jennifer Cohen - How to Turn Your Biggest Rejections Into Achievement</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jennifer-cohen-how-to-turn-your-biggest-rejections-into-massive-achievement</link>
      <description>How to Turn Your Biggest Rejections Into Achievement!!!
  
 One of the things that scares us the most is rejection. We hold back from going after what we want in life because we are fearful of this one word: "no."
  
 But, the fascinating thing is that when we don’t ask, the answer will always be no and more importantly you are telling yourself that you aren’t worthy of going after whatever it is.
  
 Remember, not taking action is also failing. 
  
 My guest today will show us how being confident and being resilient could help you achieve the success you are aiming for.
  
 She will enlighten and inspire us with her story and tell us how rejection and failure helped her cultivate a mindset of not being afraid to ask for what she wanted. 
  So today on the podcast I have the queen of turning rejections into achievement. Her name is Jennifer Cohen.  She a best-selling author, brand strategist, international speaker, and educator with a specific focus on building healthy habits to drive positive behavioral change.
  
 She was recently named “100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness” by Greatist.
  
 She is the host of the podcast "Habits &amp; Hustle" where she interviews entrepreneurs thought leaders and overall extraordinary people.  They share their insight and open up about the normally hidden aspects that have made a difference in their success.
  
 But what I believe is most incredible about her is that she unapologetically goes after what she wants in life.  There is A LOT to learn from that approach.
  
 Her TED talk on this subject has been viewed over a million times. She began developing these skills at a young age where she convinced Keanu Reeves to appear in an audition tape for a VJ job. She got Keanu, but didn’t get the job.
  
 We chat about the story behind that as well as all things rejection. This includes how to use rejection and failure to your advantage and why so many people are afraid of that “r” word. She shares her secret recipe for how to get and ask for anything you want in life and we also discuss how confidence affects your mindset and so much more!
  
  
 Jen’s Backstory:
  
 Fitness wasn't really Jen’s automatic go to. She always liked fitness because the principles that it taught her early on in life, but she never thought fitness would be the business. She had her first job with the Toronto Raptors, went back to school and got a business degree and then she went to the music business. She was in more marketing, and then when she was getting burnt out with those, she moved to LA from Canada. 
  
 In LA, she was on a working visa and was working for mortal Records, which is part of Sony at the time. She had no option and was unsure about how to get money so she could have transitioned it into the fitness business.
  
 Jen always liked negotiating, strategy, and deal-making. These are the principles that she was naturally more gravitated to, and she naturally likes to do.
  
 She just kept on changing which business and industry she was actually doing, so she was doing sports and music and then just pivoted into the fitness business.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Jen’s rejection story
  
 How to successfully overcome rejection and failure
  
 Reasons why so many people are afraid of being rejected
  
 Knowing what you really want and where you’re good at
  
 The importance of asking
  
 The advantage of having confidence and how it affects your mindset
  
 Steps to be able to ask for what you want and how to do it
  
 The importance of self-awareness
  
 Putting personal efforts on something and its benefits
  
 Being resilient and its importance
  
 Why do you need to schedule the amount of time that you’re on social media
  
 Takeaways:
  
 You never know when people say yes.
  
 It doesn't really matter whatever industry you’re in. What's important is knowing what you're good at, and knowing what you're not good at, and making what works for you be your thing.
  
 If you're somebody who actually asks, your odds are better at getting it because no one else is asking.
  
 You are the CEO of your life.
  
 You are the master of your reality.
  
 Be as specific as possible, so start small and be specific.
  
 “I think that confidence, like anything else, is a muscle that you have to practice and harness.”

 But what I believe is most incredible about her is that she unapologetically goes after what she wants in life.  There is A LOT to learn from that approach.
  
 Her TED talk on this subject has been viewed over a million times. She began developing these skills at a young age where she convinced Keanu Reeves to appear in an audition tape for a VJ job. She got Keanu, but didn’t get the job.
  
 We chat about the story behind that as well as all things rejection. This includes how to use rejection and failure to your advantage and why so many people are afraid of that “r” word. She shares her secret recipe for how to get and ask for anything you want in life and we also discuss how confidence affects your mindset and so much more!
  
  
 Jen’s Backstory:
  
 Fitness wasn't really Jen’s automatic go to. She always liked fitness because the principles that it taught her early on in life, but she never thought fitness would be the business. She had her first job with the Toronto Raptors, went back to school and got a business degree and then she went to the music business. She was in more marketing, and then when she was getting burnt out with those, she moved to LA from Canada. 
  
 In LA, she was on a working visa and was working for mortal Records, which is part of Sony at the time. She had no option and was unsure about how to get money so she could have transitioned it into the fitness business.
  
 Jen always liked negotiating, strategy, and deal-making. These are the principles that she was naturally more gravitated to, and she naturally likes to do.
  
 She just kept on changing which business and industry she was actually doing, so she was doing sports and music and then just pivoted into the fitness business.

 You are the CEO of your life.
  
 You are the master of your reality.
  
 Be as specific as possible, so start small and be specific.

        <![CDATA[<p>How to Turn Your Biggest Rejections Into Achievement!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>One of the things that scares us the most is rejection. We hold back from going after what we want in life because we are fearful of this one word: "no."</p> <p> </p> <p>But, the fascinating thing is that when we don’t ask, the answer will always be no and more importantly you are telling yourself that you aren’t worthy of going after whatever it is.</p> <p> </p> <p>Remember, not taking action is also failing. </p> <p> </p> <p>My guest today will show us how being confident and being resilient could help you achieve the success you are aiming for.</p> <p> </p> <p>She will enlighten and inspire us with her story and tell us how rejection and failure helped her cultivate a mindset of not being afraid to ask for what she wanted. </p> <p> So today on the podcast I have the queen of turning rejections into achievement.

      <title>Dave Asprey - Why Fasting Improves Your Health</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dave-asprey-why-fasting-improves-your-health</link>
      <description>Why Fasting Improves Your Health!!!!
  
 When you hear the word fasting, what comes to mind? 
  
 Am I going to starve?
  
 Is it good for my mental health?
  
 I can’t go 20 hours without eating. 
  
 I hear you and I have thought all of those very same things. 
  
 My guest today is here to calm your fears on all things fasting and help explain how each and every one of you can fast in a way that suits your lifestyle.
  
 My guest today is Dave Asprey, the “Father of Biohacking.” He is the Founder and Chairman of Bulletproof, a three-time New York Times bestselling science author and host of the award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio.
  
 His newest book, Fast This Way is available now and provides incredible and valuable information on all things fasting and will inspire you to give fasting a second chance or try it out for the first time.
  
 Today, he delivers a masterclass on all things fasting and it's many benefits. We discuss how each of you can fast in a way that suits your lifestyle and how to get started. In addition, he shares how you can also fast from hate and negative thoughts. We also chat about biohacking and more!
  
 Dave’s Backstory:
  
 Dave weighed up to 300 pounds in his early 20s. He was famous for being the first one to sell anything over the internet, which is now called the E-commerce. He made $6 million when he was 26. Dave was a co-founder of a part of the company that held Google's first servers, and grew the company to be worth $36 billion on the NASDAQ.
  
 In spite of all the fame and money that he made, he wasn’t happy with his life and he always asks himself about why he keeps on making decisions that are against his own interests. He already tried everything to lose weight. He worked out an hour and a half a day, six days a week for 18 months straight on a low fat, low calorie diet, but still, he can’t lose weight. That’s when he realized he needed to hack it. 
  
 Dave started hanging out with people three times his age who were reversing their age and learning their techniques to fix his own biology. Dave was frustrated because he was running that non-profit anti-aging group, and they're only four minutes from Google's headquarters, but they had only one guy from Google to ever attend -- and that was his uncle. 
  
 Someone told him that if he did not eat six times a day, he’s going to be in starvation mode. His main problem with that idea was that he’s afraid of acting like a jerk just because he was hungry. So in 2008, he decided to hire a Shaman and he was dropped off in a cave. He wants no food and no people anywhere around so he’s just the only one who’s gonna have to deal with that. For Dave, that was a very amazing experience, because that’s the first time he’s ever done real quality journalism and storytelling.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 Dave's newest book "Fast This Way"
  
 What is biohacking?
  
 The benefits of intermittent fasting
  
 The importance of investing in energy
  
 How to get started on fasting in a way that's going to be sustainable
  
 The three fasting hacks (black coffee, bulletproof coffee, and probiotic fiber)
  
 The mental health benefits of fasting
  
 The four F words explained (fear, food, “F”, and friend)
  
 The importance of empathy, compassion, and equanimity
  
 Benefits of fasting from negative thoughts
  
 Benefits of fasting from hate and how to do it successfully
  
 Dave’s tips on how people can incorporate fasting when they're following some sense of morning routine
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Coffee doubles ketone production.
  
 Ketones suppress the hunger hormone called ghrelin and they raise the satiety hormone called CCK.
  
 Fasting means your insulin didn't go up, and it means that your liver didn't have to turn on protein-digesting enzymes.
  
 If you want to improve your biology, you have to have enough energy to run your body and break down cells and build healthy new cells.
  
 The thing about fear is you don't think about fear.
  
 Fasting means training the body to feel safe by going without something. It makes you more powerful in your cells, in your nerves, in your brain, in your heart, in your body, and in your spirit.
  
 The only thing that you do have control over is your spiritual state.
  
 Fasting from hate is the hardest thing to do.
  
 What you eat drives hunger and cravings, depending on what it is.
  
 The very best time to work out is at the end of a fast.

      <title>Lisa Feldman Barrett - Neuroscientist Shares Common Myths About Your Emotions and How Your Brain Actually Works</title>

      <description>Neuroscientist Shares Common Myths About Your Emotions and How Your Brain Actually Works!!!
  
 There's a whole science about how the human brain works and what really controls our feelings and emotional responses to situations and most of what we have been told about how this works in the past is wrong.
  
 My guest on this fantastic episode, Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Ph.D., is here to dismantle common myths about emotions and the brain. She stands among the top 1% most cited scientists globally for her revolutionary research in psychology and neuroscience. Dr. Barrett is a University Distinguished Professor at Northeastern University and she is also Chief Science Officer for the Center for Law, Brain &amp; Behavior at Harvard University.
  
 She was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in neuroscience in 2019, has published over 240 peer reviewed articles and has a TED talk on emotions that has been viewed over 6 million times.
  
 She is the best-selling author of "How Emotions are Made" and her latest book "7 1/2 Lessons about the Brain" is just as powerful.
  
 Some of the topics we cover today include:
  
  The old notion of the dynamics of emotions versus the new
 The real function of the human brain.
 How past experiences and behaviors affect the ability of our brains to guess responses to our external forces.
 Dr. Barrett thoughts on 'Stress'
 The power of words from a neurological point of view.
 Dr. Barrett explains Depression
 Adaptable patterns for a more optimistic approach to the future.
 Similarities between our "body budget" and "bank account"
   
 Takeaways
  There's no good evidence that emotions can be read or interpreted through facial expressions or body language.
 We have the kind of brain that doesn't have a good sense of what is happening in our bodies. Our brain has to guess. All it receives are the sensations coming from our bodies, but it doesn't know what's causing them. So when you have an ache in your chest, your brain tries to figure out what caused that ache.
  Our body makes the same guesses. Those guesses are usually knit together to create our experience. That's really how our brain is making emotions.
 You don't have circuits for anger, sadness, and fear embedded in some ancient part of your brain. That's just a myth.
 Your brains don't evolve to be any more rational than they are. Its function is to regulate your body's systems, and that's pretty much all it'll be doing all your life. 
 Practice gratitude, compassion, and train your brain to be flexible so that you can view life from multiple perspectives.
 We are a social species, which means we influence each others' nervous systems in really profound ways. We regulate each other's nervous systems in many ways that other animals do too. But we have an additional way, and that's with words.
 Depression is like a bankrupt body budget. It means you have stopped learning, and you stick with what's in your head. You're fatigued and pay no more attention to what's out in the world.
 Two easy ways to shift your predictions for a more optimistic approach towards life: Change the state of your body. (Get up and move around) and practice gratitude. It works!

      <title>Ryan Michler - How to Deal with the Victim Mentality and Own Your Life</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/ryan-michler-how-to-deal-with-the-victim-mentality-and-own-your-life</link>
      <description>HOW TO DEAL WITH THE VICTIM MENTALITY AND OWN YOUR LIFE
  
 Life will present a thousand and one reasons for you to quit and give up when things get tough, but how you choose to respond to these challenges is the most significant power you have at your disposal, and that's taking responsibility!
  
 My guest today is Ryan Michler, host of the highly popular Order of Man Podcast. In this episode, he shares how he bounced out of some deep despair that included separating from his wife for 4 months which in turn saved his marriage that was headed for divorce.
  
 Ryan also found himself unhealthy on every level and decided to also use that time to transform his health from the inside out. Now, please bear in mind that taking responsibility and not playing the victim was the most incredible power he had to change everything. He also shares his intriguing story of growing up without a permanent father figure and how that didn't stop him from raising sons and being an amazing dad.
  
 He also shares some bulletproof advice on how to overcome the victim mindset and deal with criticism and so much more!
  
 Ryan's backstory
  
 A little over 13 years ago, Ryan was incredibly overweight and at the brink of getting divorced from his wife. Eventually, they got separated. It was a challenging time for him, and at some point in the early stage of the separation, he resorted to blaming his wife for the divorce. He felt there was a lot she could have done. He thought she was disloyal. It took him months into the separation to realize he had a considerable part to play as well. This realization transformed the situation around, and the break only lasted four months. Ryan had to quit playing the victim and "own" his life. He had to take responsibility for his life for the first time and stopped casting blame on everyone around him. He realized that there are things he could do right. There are things within his reach. There are things within his control and things he could influence. He realized he had more power over many things, and he began to effect changes on these things. As he said, that is what responsibility is about. It is the power that could change one's life. Not taking responsibility for the things happening around you is giving that power to someone else. What that person decides to do with that can have a negative effect on your life. The results of Ryan taking ownership of his life and shouldering the responsibility has restored his marriage. Ryan and his wife have been married now for 16 years. They are blessed with four beautiful kids and are living in their dream home. This all inspired to start his "Order of Man" podcast and movement to help men become the best version of themselves. 
  
  
 Topics Discussed
  
 -Ryan's Advice on how to quit playing the victim
 -How fitness has shaped Ryan's general outlook on life
 -Ryan's take on on how to express emotions the right way
 - The best advice for new parents
 -How mentorship can speed up your journey to successes
 -Ryan's best practices for dealing with criticisms
  
  Some important takeaways
  
 -Want to see improvements in other facets of your life? Start with fitness. Fitness teaches you to have a structure in your life, builds your confidence as the rewards are usually instantaneous, especially for the men.
 -Apart from routine workouts, plan out every single day of your life.
 -Emotions are there as a metric check for you, just like a fuel tank. If you give your emotions too much power or don't give them enough credit, then they'll control you, and you don't want that!
 -Be more of a mentor and guardian to your children and do not make all the decisions for them. Allow them to make mistakes and learn.
 -Your life's journey can be less of a burden with a coach/mentor by your side.
 -Be willing to spend your resources to improve your life, unless you want to get it done by yourself with many mistakes and time wasted.
 -Take nothing personally and maintain your focus on those who are positively impacted by your work.

        <![CDATA[<p>HOW TO DEAL WITH THE VICTIM MENTALITY AND OWN YOUR LIFE</p> <p> </p> <p>Life will present a thousand and one reasons for you to quit and give up when things get tough, but how you choose to respond to these challenges is the most significant power you have at your disposal, and that's taking responsibility!</p> <p> </p> <p>My guest today is Ryan Michler, host of the highly popular Order of Man Podcast. In this episode, he shares how he bounced out of some deep despair that included separating from his wife for 4 months which in turn saved his marriage that was headed for divorce.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ryan also found himself unhealthy on every level and decided to also use that time to transform his health from the inside out. Now, please bear in mind that taking responsibility and not playing the victim was the most incredible power he had to change everything. He also shares his intriguing story of growing up without a permanent father figure and how that didn't stop him from raising sons and being an amazing dad.</p> <p> </p> <p>He also shares some bulletproof advice on how to overcome the victim mindset and deal with criticism and so much more!</p> <p> </p> <p>Ryan's backstory</p> <p> </p> <p>A little over 13 years ago, Ryan was incredibly overweight and at the brink of getting divorced from his wife. Eventually, they got separated. It was a challenging time for him, and at some point in the early stage of the separation, he resorted to blaming his wife for the divorce. He felt there was a lot she could have done. He thought she was disloyal. It took him months into the separation to realize he had a considerable part to play as well. This realization transformed the situation around, and the break only lasted four months. Ryan had to quit playing the victim and "own" his life. He had to take responsibility for his life for the first time and stopped casting blame on everyone around him. He realized that there are things he could do right. There are things within his reach. There are things within his control and things he could influence. He realized he had more power over many things, and he began to effect changes on these things. As he said, that is what responsibility is about. It is the power that could change one's life. Not taking responsibility for the things happening around you is giving that power to someone else. What that person decides to do with that can have a negative effect on your life. The results of Ryan taking ownership of his life and shouldering the responsibility has restored his marriage. Ryan and his wife have been married now for 16 years. They are blessed with four beautiful kids and are living in their dream home. This all inspired to start his "Order of Man" podcast and movement to help men become the best version of themselves. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Topics Discussed</p> <p> </p> <p>-Ryan's Advice on how to quit playing the victim</p> <p>-How fitness has shaped Ryan's general outlook on life</p> <p>-Ryan's take on on how to express emotions the right way</p> <p>- The best advice for new parents</p> <p>-How mentorship can speed up your journey to successes</p> <p>-Ryan's best practices for dealing with criticisms</p> <p> </p> <p> Some important takeaways</p> <p> </p> <p>-Want to see improvements in other facets of your life? Start with fitness. Fitness teaches you to have a structure in your life, builds your confidence as the rewards are usually instantaneous, especially for the men.</p> <p>-Apart from routine workouts, plan out every single day of your life.</p> <p>-Emotions are there as a metric check for you, just like a fuel tank. If you give your emotions too much power or don't give them enough credit, then they'll control you, and you don't want that!</p> <p>-Be more of a mentor and guardian to your children and do not make all the decisions for them. Allow them to make mistakes and learn.</p> <p>-Your life's journey can be less of a burden with a coach/mentor by your side.</p> <p>-Be willing to spend your resources to improve your life, unless you want to get it done by yourself with many mistakes and time wasted.</p> <p>-Take nothing personally and maintain your focus on those who are positively impacted by your work. </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Ryan Michler:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ryanmichler/">www.instagram.com/ryanmichler/</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/orderofman">www.facebook.com/orderofman</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/orderofman">www.twitter.com/orderofman</a></p> <p>Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/order-of-man-protect-provide-preside/id979752171"> Order of Man</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.orderofman.com">www.orderofman.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Build a plan for growth and expansion over a 30day timeframe</p> <p><a href="http://www.orderofman.com/battleready">www.orderofman.com/battleready</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/dougbopst">www.instagram.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst">https://www.facebook.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com">www.dougbopst.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Private Facebook Group:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188">https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Lauryn Evarts Bosstick - The Skinny Confidential on How Overcoming Your Deepest Pain Can Lead to Authenticity, Purpose and Happiness</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/lauryn-evarts-bosstick-the-skinny-confidential-on-how-overcoming-your-deepest-pain</link>
      <description>Taking responsibility for your choices in life is incredibly empowering. It also means you acknowledge that no one has the power to determine how your life turns out other than yourself! It's up to you!
  
 Today, my guest, Lauryn Evarts Bosstick (also known as The Skinny Confidential), and I will be sharing our challenging life stories to inspire you on how to turn your pain to purpose, ultimately leading you to find that inner fulfillment in your own life's journey. Lauryn shares her pretty tough upbringing involving death, divorce, despair, pain, and frustration.
  
 We also chat about how to set boundaries, the power of community, how she manages anxiety and also some tips on entrepreneurship and so much more. I also share parts of my story including chatting about being incarcerated and how it relates to the isolation that many of us are facing now.
  
 Lauryn has turned her passion for beauty, wellness, and no-censor advice into one of the most distinctive blogs online today, The Skinny Confidential. She also co-hosts the highly popular cheeky entrepreneurial podcast, The Skinny Confidential HIM &amp; HER with her husband and previous podcast guest, Michael Bosstick.
  
  
 Lauryn's backstory
  
 She was blessed with really amazing parents who were both entrepreneurs and creatives, but eventually, things became a bit chaotic after her parents, like many, got divorced. The pain didn't stop there, Lauryn, at the young age of 18 lost her mother to suicide, this is why she is so passionate with mental health. 
  
 While she had her struggles growing up, she believes those experiences shaped her into the person she has become and also fueled her pursuit of achieving greatness. Lauryn's success was sponsored by the decision not to play the victim but dictate her life outcomes by taking responsibility and extreme ownership for her decisions and choices.
  
  Some of the Topics discussed:
   
  -Lauryn's incredibly inspiring backstory 
  -Managing anxiety to becoming the best version of yourself.
  -Lauryn's advice on setting boundaries, protecting your mental health, and protecting your space.
  -My jail experience compared with the lockdown period
  - Advice for budding entrepreneurs
  - Chasing after success in business the right way
  - Lauryn's advice to her younger self
   
  My jail experience compared with the lockdown period.
   
  I was incarcerated and had an oxycontin addiction to the point where half of my left nose was missing. I was constipated for a month. When it came out of my system, I was faced with me and me in jail, and all the masks came off. My emotions were as real and raw as ever, and I was forced to deal with them healthily. I was forced to start working out, to start practicing gratitude, and changing the way I talked to myself. Because of all that, I began to reattach behaviors. The difference now is that when I was in jail, I knew when I was getting out. I knew when my probation was up. Now [in the lockdown], there's so much uncertainty.
   
  Some people may never get to jail, but they will experience mental prison. Until you work through that stuff, you won't be able to experience true fulfillment. Not success, fulfillment!
   
  
 Lauryn on how she managed anxiety to be the best version of herself/tips for the audience
  
 -Connect with yourself
 -Get outside and spend time in nature.
 -Do breathwork.
 -Have a morning routine.
 -Be a gatekeeper of your time and a practitioner of your calendar.
 -Have your toolbox and create microsystems to use those tools.
  
 Tested steps to turning your pain to purpose:
  
 Have a strong 'why,' quit listening to every single opinion about your life, and prioritize yourself.
  
  Some other takeaways:
  - Suppress your emotions, and you will have them creep up on you later in life 
  - If you burn out and you're struggling with your mental health, it will be very difficult to help others
  - Examine the kind of energy you allow around you and ensure that your relationships have depths. 
  - If you're trying to build something meaningful, there has to be a strong 'why' behind what you're doing.
  - Quit listening to every single opinion about you and prioritize yourself

      <title>Dr. Michael Gervais - The Advice You Need to Conquer Your Biggest Fears and Struggles</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-michael-gervais-the-advice-you-need-to-conquer-your-biggest-fears-and-struggles</link>
      <description>The Advice You Need to Conquer Your Biggest Fears and Struggles!!!
  
 Life has taught us it’s hard to suppress feelings of anxiety, apprehension and fear of the unknown. Undoubtedly, these emotions are what make us human, fallible, vulnerable. How we manage these 'so called' negative feelings and ultimately transform them into fuel for success is a skill worth mastering. 
  
 Which is why my guest today, Dr. Michael Gervais, a world-renowned high performance sports psychologist and industry visionary, is bringing to us the technique of developing a psychological framework that allows you thrive and succeed in pressure-packed environments.
  
 In 2010, Gervais helped Austrian skydiver and BASE jumper, Felix Baumgardner complete an unimaginable, record-breaking free dive for Red Bull while Felix was struggling with claustrophobia and massive anxiety.
  
 Dr. Gervais is the host of the popular Finding Mastery podcast that explores the psychology of some of the world’s most extraordinary thinkers and doers.
  
 Gervais alongside Pete Carroll also co-authored an Audible Original, Compete to Create;  a brilliant guide to mastering groundbreaking mindset trainings which will help readers unlock their authentic self, explore the edges of their potentials, and live a life of purpose and meaning.
  
 Today Dr. Gervais provides a masterclass on dealing with fear and anxiety and how to stop it in it’s tracks before it takes you down that dark scary rabbit hole many of us know all too well. We discuss how to bridge the gap between inspiration and action and how to train the mind so that you can respond to situations with logic and not emotion and so much more! 
  
 Stay tuned in today’s episode for an incredible course giveaway that Dr. Gervais is doing for our listeners.
  
 Let's dive into the details of this insightful podcast
  
 Dr. Michael Gervais' two types of Anxiety:
  
 Cognitive Anxiety: This happens when you're ruminating about all the bad things that could go wrong and the excessive worry about later or what could happen and how we would respond. It's about trying to solve something that isn't yet happening. It is a massive asset to project forward based on everything you've ever experienced in life with an assessment of your internal capabilities matched up against what you think the future demand is going to be. That's cool and part of the prerequisite to enter into exploring your potential high performance living as well as the nuances of how you line up your thoughts, words and actions.
  
 Clinical Anxiety: The second part of anxiety is that your heart doesn't quite beat at the same rhythm of being relaxed. Your state of breathing changes. There’s muscle tension, digestive disorder and even ulcers because the system is in an edgy kind of irritability soup. It feels like you're shoving 10 pounds of stuff into a five pound bag.
  
 How do we avoid diving into the rabbit hole of fear and anxiety?
  
 Being anxious is a normal human experience. The excessiveness of it is where it becomes problematic. Your train of thought should be able to take you to places that are free and open and deeply engaging. If you accidentally get on the wrong train and that train of thought has taken you somewhere kind of scary and dark, get off that train quickly. That's the practice!
  
 However, if you find yourself on the wrong train and you want to get off, here's are pretty simple steps to take.
  Name the fear. Don't try to avoid it.
 Taking simple breaths sends signals to the ancient brain that the gorilla (trouble) has left
 Use your thoughts, come back to the now and guard your thoughts
 Look for opportunities to challenge your inner resolve.
   
 This then brings us to the importance of knowing your purpose in the first place...
  
 Dr. Michael Gervais on the importance of purpose:
  
 Not understanding purpose is one of the reasons people stop halfway during training. Without purpose, it's really hard to do the hard work and what you and I are talking about (facing fears and anxiety) is hard work. Get clear on your purpose and if that feels daunting, be clear on your purpose for the end of the year or for the end of the week.
  
 Dr. Michael Gervais on responding to situations based on logic not emotions:
  
 It's so important to be self-aware and to also take action based on logic and not emotions. To achieve that, learn to do some stuff on your mental training so that you can respond eloquently in more stressful environment. Take breathing trainings, practice gratitude, use your imagination more often project your future, be where your body is and work on your physical carriage.
  
 Dr. Gervais on bridging the gap between inspiration and action:
  
 There are 3 basic components to taking action. There is the Social Component, the Psychological Component and the Behavioral Component
  
 - The Social Component requires you getting a companion to achieve success. It could be a gym buddy, or someone committed to winning with you.
 - The Psychological Component demands that you get in touch with your humanity or suffering. That's the pain to create change.
 - The Behavioral Component getting connected with what you want to do and building a habit around it.
  
 Never forget to celebrate when you record small wins or successes. Success isn't all about bank accounts or score boards. It's measured by how many times a day you can be alive to have a sense of awe. If you have a bunch of those moments, score boards will take care of themselves.
  
 Failure is the unwillingness or inability to get on the edge and go for it while mastery is getting up to the nuances in the edge and exploring that!

      <itunes:summary>The Advice You Need to Conquer Your Biggest Fears and Struggles!!!
  
 Life has taught us it’s hard to suppress feelings of anxiety, apprehension and fear of the unknown. Undoubtedly, these emotions are what make us human, fallible, vulnerable. How we manage these 'so called' negative feelings and ultimately transform them into fuel for success is a skill worth mastering. 
  
 Which is why my guest today, Dr. Michael Gervais, a world-renowned high performance sports psychologist and industry visionary, is bringing to us the technique of developing a psychological framework that allows you thrive and succeed in pressure-packed environments.
  
 In 2010, Gervais helped Austrian skydiver and BASE jumper, Felix Baumgardner complete an unimaginable, record-breaking free dive for Red Bull while Felix was struggling with claustrophobia and massive anxiety.
  
 Dr. Gervais is the host of the popular Finding Mastery podcast that explores the psychology of some of the world’s most extraordinary thinkers and doers.
  
 Gervais alongside Pete Carroll also co-authored an Audible Original, Compete to Create;  a brilliant guide to mastering groundbreaking mindset trainings which will help readers unlock their authentic self, explore the edges of their potentials, and live a life of purpose and meaning.
  
 Today Dr. Gervais provides a masterclass on dealing with fear and anxiety and how to stop it in it’s tracks before it takes you down that dark scary rabbit hole many of us know all too well. We discuss how to bridge the gap between inspiration and action and how to train the mind so that you can respond to situations with logic and not emotion and so much more! 
  
 Stay tuned in today’s episode for an incredible course giveaway that Dr. Gervais is doing for our listeners.
  
 Let's dive into the details of this insightful podcast
  
 Dr. Michael Gervais' two types of Anxiety:
  
 Cognitive Anxiety: This happens when you're ruminating about all the bad things that could go wrong and the excessive worry about later or what could happen and how we would respond. It's about trying to solve something that isn't yet happening. It is a massive asset to project forward based on everything you've ever experienced in life with an assessment of your internal capabilities matched up against what you think the future demand is going to be. That's cool and part of the prerequisite to enter into exploring your potential high performance living as well as the nuances of how you line up your thoughts, words and actions.
  
 Clinical Anxiety: The second part of anxiety is that your heart doesn't quite beat at the same rhythm of being relaxed. Your state of breathing changes. There’s muscle tension, digestive disorder and even ulcers because the system is in an edgy kind of irritability soup. It feels like you're shoving 10 pounds of stuff into a five pound bag.
  
 How do we avoid diving into the rabbit hole of fear and anxiety?
  
 Being anxious is a normal human experience. The excessiveness of it is where it becomes problematic. Your train of thought should be able to take you to places that are free and open and deeply engaging. If you accidentally get on the wrong train and that train of thought has taken you somewhere kind of scary and dark, get off that train quickly. That's the practice!
  
 However, if you find yourself on the wrong train and you want to get off, here's are pretty simple steps to take.
  Name the fear. Don't try to avoid it.
 Taking simple breaths sends signals to the ancient brain that the gorilla (trouble) has left
 Use your thoughts, come back to the now and guard your thoughts
 Look for opportunities to challenge your inner resolve.
   
 This then brings us to the importance of knowing your purpose in the first place...
  
 Dr. Michael Gervais on the importance of purpose:
  
 Not understanding purpose is one of the reasons people stop halfway during training. Without purpose, it's really hard to do the hard work and what you and I are talking about (facing fears and anxiety) is hard work. Get clear on your purpose and if that feels daunting, be clear on your purpose for the end of the year or for the end of the week.
  
 Dr. Michael Gervais on responding to situations based on logic not emotions:
  
 It's so important to be self-aware and to also take action based on logic and not emotions. To achieve that, learn to do some stuff on your mental training so that you can respond eloquently in more stressful environment. Take breathing trainings, practice gratitude, use your imagination more often project your future, be where your body is and work on your physical carriage.
  
 Dr. Gervais on bridging the gap between inspiration and action:
  
 There are 3 basic components to taking action. There is the Social Component, the Psychological Component and the Behavioral Component
  
 - The Social Component requires you getting a companion to achieve success. It could be a gym buddy, or someone committed to winning with you.
 - The Psychological Component demands that you get in touch with your humanity or suffering. That's the pain to create change.
 - The Behavioral Component getting connected with what you want to do and building a habit around it.
  
 Never forget to celebrate when you record small wins or successes. Success isn't all about bank accounts or score boards. It's measured by how many times a day you can be alive to have a sense of awe. If you have a bunch of those moments, score boards will take care of themselves.
  
 Failure is the unwillingness or inability to get on the edge and go for it while mastery is getting up to the nuances in the edge and exploring that!

      <description>Follow This Food Plan and Never Diet Again!!!
  
 Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2021 and super excited that Kelly LeVeque joins us on the show today!
  
 One of the struggles of many people of this generation is choosing what diet they should be following. Most of them get stressed out just because of the strict diet they are into.
  
 If you are one of them, this episode is for you! You will learn so much from here, and you will be enlightened that improving your health shouldn’t be that difficult.
  
 My guest today is Kelly LeVeque --   is a holistic nutritionist, wellness expert, celebrity health coach, and the best-selling author of  Body Love and  Body Love Every Day and host of the Be Well by Kelly podcast.
  
 Her deep desire to help her clients, her passion for human nutrition, and her curiosity about how and why the body works drive Kelly to diligently study the latest research, evaluate competing theories and use this information to make individualized recommendations for her clients. Some of her clients include Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler, Molly Sims, Emmy Rossum and many others.
  
 Most importantly, Kelly’s practical and always optimistic approach to nutrition and wellness helps her readers improve their health, achieve their goals, and develop sustainable habits to live healthy and balanced lives.
  
 Kelly’s website serves as a resource for her readers to find the latest research and rationale behind important nutrition principles, as well as delicious recipes and recommended products to fuel them well. In 2020, she launched the  Be Well By Kelly Podcast to further provide listeners with her nutrition and wellness wisdom, and to introduce them to other health professionals with a wide array of experience and insights.
  
 With the desire to provide her coaching expertise to the public, Kelly developed the Fab 4 Fundamentals course, in which she simplifies the science of nutrition and empowers participants to confidently take charge of their health. She has expanded her nutrition curriculum to include a second course, Fab 4 Pregnancy, to provide moms-to-be with the wisdom, encouragement, and thoroughly researched recommendations they need to nourish themselves before, during, and after pregnancy. Additionally, Kelly released the  Be Well by Kelly Protein Powder to round out the Body Love toolkit. This protein powder harnesses the power and benefits of simple yet wholesome protein and can easily be used in one of Kelly’s favorite tools, the #fab4smoothie. Through all of these resources, Kelly seeks to provide men and women with the tools they need to transform their health and their lives through nourishing whole foods and body loving practices.
  
 Kelly’s Backstory:
  
 Kelly is the eldest among her siblings. Her father is an entrepreneur and was always teaching them to be able to fend for themselves. He is afraid of his daughters relying on him or someone else and he really wanted them to be independent.
  
 Kelly went to USC and was an undergrad in business like her dad, then she took her science courses in her junior year -- nature of human health and disease and biology.
  
 Fast forward, Kelly ended up in an eight year career in cancer, in genetics. She worked for big Fortune 500 companies like Johnson &amp; Johnson, Whole Logic, and Stryker. She was always in cancer, the end of her career was really in the genetics of it. 
  
 She spent so much of those eight years reading PubMed research, and always went back to nutrition just was in love with it. Every year, she thinks to herself that she’s too old to go back to school, but her heart was always in nutrition and it was what she spent her time reading studies.
  
 She decided to go back to school and took her job full time. Kelly was so thirsty for the knowledge and was really excited to share tools with people. And because it was her side hustle, she didn't have the pressure of earning money from it. She’s just having fun doing what she wants, but then it just kept growing and growing.
  
 Topics discussed:
  
 -The idea behind the Fab Four (protein, fat, fiber, greens)
 -Fab Four explained
 -Where did the whole “Body Love” thing come from?
 -Kelly’s thoughts about people stress themselves out so much about what they're going to eat
 -How was it for Kelly getting started in her own business and how did she end up coming across some of the amazing people she works with?
 -What it really takes on the stunning celebrities’ end to look the way they do.
 -Kelly’s courses, what they entail, and what people can expect to get out of them
 -The Fab Four and Fab Four Pregnancy
 -Kelly’s book, Body Love Everyday
 -Kelly’s Swedish Grass-Fed Beef Protein Powder
 -Kelly’s tips about what ingredients people should stay away from
 -Other supplements Kelly recommends her clients aside from the protein powder
 -The types of magnesium people should take and how it should be taken
 -Kelly’s advice to her younger self
  
 The Fab Four and Fab Four Pregnancy:
 The Fab Four fundamentals is like all of the science that Kelly shares in her books. And the Fab Four pregnancy is all about how she’s using the Fab Four throughout her pregnancy to maintain an appropriate amount of weight gain, which can be a really touchy subject for women when they're pregnant.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 -We need to get essential amino acids or proteins from our food, whether you're raw vegan or carnivore, you have to get amino acids from your food.
  
 -When it comes to healthy fats, you have essential fatty acids as well, those are your omega.
  
 -The microbiome is the first barrier of defense.
  
 -It's not about perfection. It's literally about consistency. It's about habits. And it's about feeling good about yourself and confident about your food choices.
  
 -Body love is action. It is taking time for self care.
  
 -Celebration should be celebrating you and the people close to you, and really knowing who you are and what you want to celebrate in your life.
  
 -If you can't get it together and you're feeling unmotivated, you need to find a trigger.
  
 -The most important thing that you can do is start your day right.
  
 -Don't think that you can't create an industry, a brand or a business in something that you don't see other people doing.

And the Fab Four pregnancy is all about how she’s using the Fab Four throughout her pregnancy to maintain an appropriate amount of weight gain, which can be a really touchy subject for women when they're pregnant.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 -We need to get essential amino acids or proteins from our food, whether you're raw vegan or carnivore, you have to get amino acids from your food.
  
 -When it comes to healthy fats, you have essential fatty acids as well, those are your omega.
  
 -The microbiome is the first barrier of defense.
  
 -It's not about perfection. It's literally about consistency. It's about habits. And it's about feeling good about yourself and confident about your food choices.
  
 -Body love is action. It is taking time for self care.
  
 -Celebration should be celebrating you and the people close to you, and really knowing who you are and what you want to celebrate in your life.
  
 -If you can't get it together and you're feeling unmotivated, you need to find a trigger.
  
 -The most important thing that you can do is start your day right.
  
 -Don't think that you can't create an industry, a brand or a business in something that you don't see other people doing.

Every year, she thinks to herself that she’s too old to go back to school, but her heart was always in nutrition and it was what she spent her time reading studies.</p> <p> </p> <p>She decided to go back to school and took her job full time. Kelly was so thirsty for the knowledge and was really excited to share tools with people. And because it was her side hustle, she didn't have the pressure of earning money from it.

      <description>For this last week of 2020, each day we will be re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  
 Best of 2020 #1: Dr. Will Bulsiewicz - All About the Gut Microbiome and How to Strengthen Your Immune System Right Now (Originally released 12/14/20)
  
 All About the Gut Microbiome and How to Strengthen Your Immune System Right Now!
  
 Today, we are going to talk all about the gut microbiome and how to strengthen your immune system right now. Clearly, with everything going on with COVID-19, this episode couldn’t come at a better time. I’ve had the opportunity to talk to one of the best there is on this topic. 
  
 Today's guest is Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, commonly known as Dr. B. He is an award-winning gastroenterologist and the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Fiber Fueled.
  
 Many might not know this, but our gut is connected to almost every part of our body including our brain. Did you know that 90% of our serotonin and 50 % of our dopamine is produced in our gut?
  
 So sometimes when we feel stressed, anxious, and depressed, this all might be tied directly to having an unhealthy gut.
  
 It’s incredibly fascinating as is the fact that 70% of our immune system is in our gut as well.
  
 This is why we should really be paying attention to our gut health more than ever as COVID-19 impacts so many people with underlying health issues and weaker immune systems.
  
 In this episode, Dr. B will explain everything you need to know about the gut microbiome, how our gut health impacts things such as COVID-19, our immune system, and mental health. He will also explain the secret to how you can discover how healthy your gut is in the comfort of your and his tip for this will cost you absolutely nothing other than some time.
  
 Finally, he will also provide the blueprint of what you can do right now to optimize your gut health and strengthen your immune system plus so much more.
  
 Dr. B’s Backstory:
  
 Dr. B already knew when he was a teenager that he wanted to be a doctor. He’s always been an idealist, and what he really wanted to do was to help kids, particularly the adolescent and teenage kids, because he feels like they're overlooked and they deserve more attention in this transformative period in their life. So he initially set on a path to go to medical school so that he could become a child psychiatrist.
  
 During Dr. B’s journey to become a doctor, he suddenly fell in love with gastroenterology. At the age of 30, everything went well for his career. He was the chief medical resident at Northwestern in Chicago, one of the top internal medicine residency in the country. He won the highest award in his residency class and published eight papers in gastroenterology journals.
  
 Of all those achievements, he still felt miserable. He hated himself. And that’s when he realized that it’s all about the diet that he was raised, which was the very classic “1980s diet” -- hotdogs, Doritos, Kool Aid, bagel bites. He gained 50 pounds, had low energy, super low self-esteem and high blood pressure.
  
 He did some exercise like what most guys do, but everything changed when he started dating his wife who’s on a very clean diet. Out of curiosity, he followed that thread and started making small changes.
  
 He noticed that he instantly felt better. He didn't have the hangover after meals, he was energized, his skin started to change, and his hair got thicker. His weight also started falling of as well.
  
 Those changes inspired him so much that he became obsessed with digging into the medical literature. He became a believer because of the way that it transformed his own life. He felt that his patients deserved it too. So he brought that into his clinic, and saw similar amazing and transformative results with them.
  
 In 2016, he just felt compelled to share the story, but also felt that it wasn’t enough. That’s the reason why he created his Instagram account. He didn’t expect so much in the beginning, so when he reached 1,000 followers, Dr. B and his wife celebrated and popped a bottle of champagne.
  
 Fast forward, his book called “Fiber Fueled” came out in May this year, and it's a New York Times bestseller. Today, they're closing in on 100,000 copies and it’s only a little over six months since the book came out.
  
 Now that you already know Dr. B’s backstory, take a look at these very interesting topics and lessons we discussed:
  
  The meaning of the gut microbiome
   
  Why stress and the gut microbiome go hand in hand with each other
   
  The different ways our gut can communicate with our brain
   
  The antagonistic pleiotropy
   
  The connection between gut microbiome and COVID-19
   
  Things that people can do to strengthen their gut and immune system
   
  The special connection between our gut microbes and fiber
   
  Why do people need to pay attention to where they're getting the fiber from
   
  The importance of the diversity of plants in your diet
   
  Bonus: smoothie recipe of Dr. B’s wife
   
  The Bristol Stool Chart
   
  The different types of bowel movement
   
  The effect on trauma in the gut
   
  How Dr. B and his team help the patients who were victims of trauma and abuse
   
  Inflammation in the gut
   
 Fiber Fueled by Dr. B:
  
 “Fiber Fueled is so much more than a health book. It’s a step-by-step methodology to stop the misinformation madness caused by the diet industry, and show you the simple, science-backed process for a lifestyle that is effortless, sustainable, and above all else, it transforms your health by optimizing your gut microbiome.”
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Microbes are not just passively in the human body. They are there with a purpose. They have been there since the beginning of human history. 
  
 There's never been a sterile human, we've always had a relationship with these microbes.
  
 The healthy microbiomes
  give us access to our nutrients.
 are connected to our immune system.
 are connected to our metabolism.
 are connected to our hormones.
 are connected to our brain.
   
 A healthy gut is the path to a healthy brain, including our mood.
  
 Our bowel movement is actually predominantly made up of your gut microbes.
  
 Plant Diversity in your diet Is king when it comes to having a healthy gut. Simple ways are through smoothies and salads.

Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!</p> <p> </p> <p>Best of 2020 #1: Dr. Will Bulsiewicz - All About the Gut Microbiome and How to Strengthen Your Immune System Right Now (Originally released 12/14/20)</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">All About the Gut Microbiome and How to Strengthen Your Immune System Right Now!</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Today, we are going to talk all about the gut microbiome and how to strengthen your immune system right now. Clearly, with everything going on with COVID-19, this episode couldn’t come at a better time. I’ve had the opportunity to talk to one of the best there is on this topic. </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Today's guest is Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, commonly known as Dr. B. He is an award-winning gastroenterologist and the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Fiber Fueled.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Many might not know this, but our gut is connected to almost every part of our body including our brain. Did you know that 90% of our serotonin and 50 % of our dopamine is produced in our gut?</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">So sometimes when we feel stressed, anxious, and depressed, this all might be tied directly to having an unhealthy gut.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">It’s incredibly fascinating as is the fact that 70% of our immune system is in our gut as well.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">This is why we should really be paying attention to our gut health more than ever as COVID-19 impacts so many people with underlying health issues and weaker immune systems.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">In this episode, Dr. B will explain everything you need to know about the gut microbiome, how our gut health impacts things such as COVID-19, our immune system, and mental health. He will also explain the secret to how you can discover how healthy your gut is in the comfort of your and his tip for this will cost you absolutely nothing other than some time.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Finally, he will also provide the blueprint of what you can do right now to optimize your gut health and strengthen your immune system plus so much more.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr. B’s Backstory:</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr. B already knew when he was a teenager that he wanted to be a doctor. He’s always been an idealist, and what he really wanted to do was to help kids, particularly the adolescent and teenage kids, because he feels like they're overlooked and they deserve more attention in this transformative period in their life. So he initially set on a path to go to medical school so that he could become a child psychiatrist.</p> <p> </p> <p>During Dr. B’s journey to become a doctor, he suddenly fell in love with gastroenterology. At the age of 30, everything went well for his career. He was the chief medical resident at Northwestern in Chicago, one of the top internal medicine residency in the country. He won the highest award in his residency class and published eight papers in gastroenterology journals.</p> <p> </p> <p>Of all those achievements, he still felt miserable. He hated himself. And that’s when he realized that it’s all about the diet that he was raised, which was the very classic “1980s diet” -- hotdogs, Doritos, Kool Aid, bagel bites. He gained 50 pounds, had low energy, super low self-esteem and high blood pressure.</p> <p> </p> <p>He did some exercise like what most guys do, but everything changed when he started dating his wife who’s on a very clean diet. Out of curiosity, he followed that thread and started making small changes.</p> <p> </p> <p>He noticed that he instantly felt better. He didn't have the hangover after meals, he was energized, his skin started to change, and his hair got thicker. His weight also started falling of as well.</p> <p> </p> <p>Those changes inspired him so much that he became obsessed with digging into the medical literature. He became a believer because of the way that it transformed his own life. He felt that his patients deserved it too. So he brought that into his clinic, and saw similar amazing and transformative results with them.</p> <p> </p> <p>In 2016, he just felt compelled to share the story, but also felt that it wasn’t enough. That’s the reason why he created his Instagram account. He didn’t expect so much in the beginning, so when he reached 1,000 followers, Dr. B and his wife celebrated and popped a bottle of champagne.</p> <p> </p> <p>Fast forward, his book called “Fiber Fueled” came out in May this year, and it's a New York Times bestseller. Today, they're closing in on 100,000 copies and it’s only a little over six months since the book came out.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now that you already know Dr. B’s backstory, take a look at these very interesting topics and lessons we discussed:</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The meaning of the gut microbiome</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Why stress and the gut microbiome go hand in hand with each other</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The different ways our gut can communicate with our brain</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The antagonistic pleiotropy</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The connection between gut microbiome and COVID-19</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Things that people can do to strengthen their gut and immune system</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The special connection between our gut microbes and fiber</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Why do people need to pay attention to where they're getting the fiber from</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The importance of the diversity of plants in your diet</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Bonus: smoothie recipe of Dr. B’s wife</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The Bristol Stool Chart</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The different types of bowel movement</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The effect on trauma in the gut</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>How Dr. B and his team help the patients who were victims of trauma and abuse</li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Inflammation in the gut</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Fiber Fueled by Dr. B:</p> <p> </p> <p>“Fiber Fueled is so much more than a health book. It’s a step-by-step methodology to stop the misinformation madness caused by the diet industry, and show you the simple, science-backed process for a lifestyle that is effortless, sustainable, and above all else, it transforms your health by optimizing your gut microbiome.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Takeaways:</p> <p> </p> <p>Microbes are not just passively in the human body. They are there with a purpose. They have been there since the beginning of human history. </p> <p> </p> <p>There's never been a sterile human, we've always had a relationship with these microbes.</p> <p> </p> <p>The healthy microbiomes</p> <ul> <li>give us access to our nutrients.</li> <li>are connected to our immune system.</li> <li>are connected to our metabolism.</li> <li>are connected to our hormones.</li> <li>are connected to our brain.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>A healthy gut is the path to a healthy brain, including our mood.</p> <p> </p> <p>Our bowel movement is actually predominantly made up of your gut microbes.</p> <p> </p> <p>Plant Diversity in your diet Is king when it comes to having a healthy gut.

      <description>For this last week of 2020, each day we will re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  
 Best of 2020 #2: David Sinclair - Modifying Our Lifestyle to Reverse Aging (Originally released 6/9/2020)
  
 Dr. David Sinclair: Modifying Our Lifestyle to Reverse Aging 
  
 Today I’m incredibly honored to host Dr. David Sinclair. 
 David is a professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. He’s the author of New York’s Times best-seller Lifespan, a book with insights on why we age, and how we can slow and even reverse aging. A top innovator, David was in 2014, named on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and listed as Time's Top 50 in healthcare in 2018.
 David’s inspiration growing up
 David grew up with his grandmother, who was a constant believer in his abilities and always motivated him to set and shoot for his life-goals and he will always achieve them. 
 In an unfair world filled with cruel and mischievous people, David’s grandmother always reminded him to be grateful and generous where he could. To always do whatever he can to make the world a better place than it is.
 David owes a lot of current success and grit to this background and claims that every no one needs a positive environment of someone who believes in them, and they too can set to achieve greatness.
 Hormesis: Using exercise and healthy eating to fight aging.
 Being a trained geneticist, you’d think that David would vouch for DNA as the major contributing factor for your health and wellness destiny. But oh no, the key to this, David says is the epigenome 
 The epigenome is the real powerhouse and determinant of our lifestyle i.e how much we sleep, mental stress, physical fitness etc. 
 A study on identical twins held in Denmark supports this claim, with the findings suggesting that we only inherit from our parents 20% in terms of the predictability of our long-term health.
  
 The key to better physical and mental health and ultimately slow aging, David states, is through exercise and healthy eating. 
  As for exercise - do anything that gets your breathing level up for at least 15 minutes
  Exercising triggers the longevity genes which regulate the epigenome - which is in control of how we age.
  Healthy eating also triggers the epigenome, resulting in similar effects. 
   
 Healthy eating and numerous benefits of fasting. 
 It’s no surprise that what we eat is a big contributor of how our health turns out to be. However, what always seems to be left out, is how to eat.
  
 Having 3 meals a day and zero exercise has a reverse effect on your mind.Your brain loves being relaxed - just sitting down and having snacks is all you need - 
 By giving in to this kind of lifestyle, you’re sacrificing your body’s ability to fight diseases and aging. Because your body gets the message from the brain that it’s very safe and there’s plenty of security and food to eat. So you relax, and the defense modes switch off. It’s for this reason that obese people who don’t exercise, not only look older, but are actually older. 
  
 Fasting triggers the longevity genes as well. Through fasting, the body is tricked into thinking there isn’t enough resources to live on. Amino acids are also restricted and the epigenome is activated too.
  
 Types of foods David suggests you should take when fasting.
  You don’t want foods with a lot of sugar - as they make you get hungry faster
 Don’t be too rough on yourself - one milkshake isn’t bad (as long as you’re consistent)
 Best meal for him is a salad with a bit of olive oil on it or vinegar
 Protein is good in small amounts. 
 Green leafy vegetables and practice Hormesis i.e If your plants are stressed before you eat them you get the benefit. So you don’t have to do it yourself. You can eat plants;
   That have grown without much rain or water in the environment.
 With bugs on them
   
 Dr. David Sinclair’s Adversity - Growing from the failures and setbacks he’s been through
  
 There’s no way to be successful without massive amounts of adversity, criticisms, failures and mistakes, claims David. We don’t have all the answers, and aren’t perfect either.
  
 Failure is part of the journey. And as David shares his lowest point in life, he certainly owes a lot of his current progress and success as a result of embracing and his setbacks and learning from them.
 David saw his mom die in front of him, which was of course, a big blow to him, both emotionally and psychologically. But it’s the career setback he really digs into and narrates on the show.
 Close to the tip of being sacked and losing his reputation (which for scientists is everything) A 41 year old David was completely battered, beaten and destroyed.
  
 When he was 34 years old, David and his team had just uncovered a huge biological milestone through a breakthrough which seemed too easy and good to be true. And so they patented it.
 7 years down the line. David would face so much criticism from journalists and scientists, all of whom claimed that everything he had published on his breakthrough was false. And so the company that he had invested so much in, and received millions of dollars in donations for clinical trials was a hoodwink and based on lies.
  
 About half of David’s lab staff abandoned him, deeming his career over.
 All David could wonder was how it could all go soo wrong. How could it be that the very world he was trying to save, is now punching him in the face?
 There was nothing more to do. So he went to bed every night sad and depressed. 
 As time went by though, David decided not to quit. He decided he would put on a fight and prove all his doubters and critics wrong with proof and data.
 3 years later, and with the help of the loyal staff that remained, David solved the problem that had resulted in so many individuals misunderstanding and attacking his professional achievements. 
 Having published his findings in 2013, this put Dr. David and his team back on track into achieving the great  things they had set out to when they started.
  
 Don’t quit mentality
 Now 50, David knows that it never gets easier and the setbacks never stop. But for him, winners are the ones who decide to get back up as fast as possible and handle all the blocks and obstacles that are a normal part of life.
 Even till date, David still faces criticisms and hindrances from his colleagues, donors, newspaper and, and university. But now older, that he was, he’s wise enough to know that the challenges never get easier or end, you only get better and tougher.
  
 David’s thinking pattern is that humanity is in all these together. We’re all trying to work out and solve life’s big problems and challenges. And, so we must work together. This line of thought 
 has landed him into bad relationships with many scientists who try to remain as secretive as possible in matters regarding their research and findings. 
  
 In conclusion, David advises us to always have goals in our lives. When you’re low and in depression, and still lacking in goals, dreams and aspirations to look forward to. Then life hits you even harder. So set a goal, go for it, and don’t stop or give up on it until you get there!

But oh no, the key to this, David says is the epigenome </p> <p>The epigenome is the real powerhouse and determinant of our lifestyle i.e how much we sleep, mental stress, physical fitness etc. </p> <p>A study on identical twins held in Denmark supports this claim, with the findings suggesting that we only inherit from our parents 20% in terms of the predictability of our long-term health.</p> <p> </p> <p>The key to better physical and mental health and ultimately slow aging, David states, is through exercise and healthy eating. </p> <ol> <li>As for exercise - do anything that gets your breathing level up for at least 15 minutes</li> </ol> <p>Exercising triggers the longevity genes which regulate the epigenome - which is in control of how we age.</p> <ol> <li>Healthy eating also triggers the epigenome, resulting in similar effects. </li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>Healthy eating and numerous benefits of fasting. </p> <p>It’s no surprise that what we eat is a big contributor of how our health turns out to be. However, what always seems to be left out, is how to eat.</p> <p> </p> <p>Having 3 meals a day and zero exercise has a reverse effect on your mind.Your brain loves being relaxed - just sitting down and having snacks is all you need - </p> <p>By giving in to this kind of lifestyle, you’re sacrificing your body’s ability to fight diseases and aging. Because your body gets the message from the brain that it’s very safe and there’s plenty of security and food to eat. So you relax, and the defense modes switch off. It’s for this reason that obese people who don’t exercise, not only look older, but are actually older. </p> <p> </p> <p>Fasting triggers the longevity genes as well. Through fasting, the body is tricked into thinking there isn’t enough resources to live on. Amino acids are also restricted and the epigenome is activated too.</p> <p> </p> <p>Types of foods David suggests you should take when fasting.</p> <ul> <li>You don’t want foods with a lot of sugar - as they make you get hungry faster</li> <li>Don’t be too rough on yourself - one milkshake isn’t bad (as long as you’re consistent)</li> <li>Best meal for him is a salad with a bit of olive oil on it or vinegar</li> <li>Protein is good in small amounts. </li> <li>Green leafy vegetables and practice <em>Hormesis</em> i.e If your plants are stressed before you eat them you get the benefit. So you don’t have to do it yourself. You can eat plants;</li> </ul> <ol> <li>That have grown without much rain or water in the environment.</li> <li>With bugs on them</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>Dr. David Sinclair’s Adversity - Growing from the failures and setbacks he’s been through</p> <p> </p> <p><em>There’s no way to be successful without massive amounts of adversity, criticisms, failures and mistakes</em>, claims David. <em>We don’t have all the answers, and aren’t perfect either.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p>Failure is part of the journey. And as David shares his lowest point in life, he certainly owes a lot of his current progress and success as a result of embracing and his setbacks and learning from them.</p> <p>David saw his mom die in front of him, which was of course, a big blow to him, both emotionally and psychologically. But it’s the career setback he really digs into and narrates on the show.</p> <p>Close to the tip of being sacked and losing his reputation (which for scientists is everything) A 41 year old David was completely battered, beaten and destroyed.</p> <p> </p> <p>When he was 34 years old, David and his team had just uncovered a huge biological milestone through a breakthrough which seemed too easy and good to be true. And so they patented it.</p> <p>7 years down the line. David would face so much criticism from journalists and scientists, all of whom claimed that everything he had published on his breakthrough was false. And so the company that he had invested so much in, and received millions of dollars in donations for clinical trials was a hoodwink and based on lies.</p> <p> </p> <p>About half of David’s lab staff abandoned him, deeming his career over.</p> <p>All David could wonder was how it could all go soo wrong. How could it be that the very world he was trying to save, is now punching him in the face?</p> <p>There was nothing more to do. So he went to bed every night sad and depressed. </p> <p>As time went by though, David decided not to quit. He decided he would put on a fight and prove all his doubters and critics wrong with proof and data.</p> <p>3 years later, and with the help of the loyal staff that remained, David solved the problem that had resulted in so many individuals misunderstanding and attacking his professional achievements. </p> <p>Having published his findings in 2013, this put Dr. David and his team back on track into achieving the great  things they had set out to when they started.</p> <p> </p> <p>Don’t quit mentality</p> <p>Now 50, David knows that it never gets easier and the setbacks never stop. But for him, winners are the ones who decide to get back up as fast as possible and handle all the blocks and obstacles that are a normal part of life.</p> <p>Even till date, David still faces criticisms and hindrances from his colleagues, donors, newspaper and, and university. But now older, that he was, he’s wise enough to know that the challenges never get easier or end, you only get better and tougher.</p> <p> </p> <p>David’s thinking pattern is that humanity is in all these together. We’re all trying to work out and solve life’s big problems and challenges. And, so we must work together. This line of thought </p> <p>has landed him into bad relationships with many scientists who try to remain as secretive as possible in matters regarding their research and findings. </p> <p> </p> <p>In conclusion, David advises us to always have goals in our lives. When you’re low and in depression, and still lacking in goals, dreams and aspirations to look forward to. Then life hits you even harder. So set a goal, go for it, and don’t stop or give up on it until you get there!</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Dr. David Sinclair </p> <p>Website - <a href="https://lifespanbook.com/">https://lifespanbook.com/</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/davidasinclair">https://twitter.com/davidasinclair</a></p> <p>LinkedIn -  <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinclairda/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinclairda/</a></p> <p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd/?hl=en</a></p> <p>Lifespan on Amazon - <a href="https://amzn.to/2BFribo">https://amzn.to/2BFribo</a></p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p> <p> </p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <description>For this last week of 2020, each day we will re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  
 Best of 2020 #3: Dr. Andrew Huberman - The Surprising Truth About Stress (And How it Can Actually Be Healthy) (Originally released 8/18/20)
  
 Dr. Andrew Huberman: The Surprising Truth About Stress (And How it Can Actually Be Healthy) 
  
 THIS EPISODE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
  
 Do you want to know the surprising truth about stress and how it actually can benefit your health?
  
 Then, you will not want to miss today's episode with neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman where we cover addiction, stress, cell phones (as he calls it digital concussion) and his incredible story. 
  
 Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning. 
  
 Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the largest discoveries in the study of vision. His lab’s most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. He also works on neural regeneration and directs a clinical trial to promote visual restoration in diseases that cause blindness. Huberman is also actively involved in developing tools now in use by elite military in the US and Canada, athletes, and technology industries for optimizing performance in high stress environments, enhancing neural plasticity, mitigating stress, and optimizing sleep. 
  
 Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford Medical School has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover, and other top media outlets.
  
 Andrew’s Journey
  
 Andrew had a great start to his life. 
 His mother wrote children’s books and his father was a theoretical physicist. Everything in Andrew’s life was going very well, until he turned 13 and his parents separated. When his dad left, Andrew’s mother began to experience stress. 
  
 At about the same time that Andrew’s parents separated, his older sister had just left for college. This left him to face life’s obstacles all alone, and reality took a sudden turn for Andrew.
  
 With everything changing so fast in Andrew’s life, he turned to skateboarding as a way to handle and relieve the stress. 
  
 It was while skateboarding in Embarcadero, San Francisco that Andrew started to meet new friends, most of whom were growing up without much parental control or influence.  This is when Andrew began to recognize that kids growing up without two parent families, lived lives that were more chaotic than other kids with more normal home lives. As Andrew entered puberty, he started skipping school, and from the ages of 14-17, most of his time was spent either skateboarding or with his girlfriend. 
  
 As time went by, Andrew also turned to boxing as another tool to handle his stress.
  
 Andrew was ultimately kicked out of school because of the constant troubles that accompanied his presence. He was offered a chance to resume his studies under the condition of going to therapy. 
  
 The therapist was of great help, demonstrating to Andrew that there was a better way for him to structure his life. By adding certain types of life tools and structure to his life, Andrew learned that he could achieve the life he was craving internally without relying solely on fighting, boxing and skateboarding. 
  
 Once Andrew returned to school he started to play football, where his football coach advised Andrew to start running and lifting weights as a way to build his frail body. 
  
 Always curious and self-driven, Andrew began to lift weights. He fell in love with the body that he was crafting through his new hobby. His great physique ultimately pushed him into being a firefighter as a way to make a living.
  
 With his girlfriend moving to college, Andrew would sleep outside of her dorm in the parking lot as a way to stay close with the most intimate friend he had.
  
 Slowly, his old habits of fighting started to re-enter his life. On July 4th 1994, after getting into a fight in the small town of Isla Vista, Andrew found himself considering the direction in which his life was headed. Walking back home from the fight, Andrew decided to change his life for the better permanently. He started by enrolling in a local community college and dedicated himself to achieving excellence in weight lifting, running, reading and studying. 
  
 What followed was a metamorphosis into an organized and self-driven individual. 
  
 While at the community college, Andrew started taking Psycho-Biology (now known as Neuroscience) and found himself connecting with his charismatic professor, who ultimately acted as a mentor in his educational endeavors. Andrew was self-driven, highly motivated, and made it his life mission to get a PhD in the field of Neuroscience. He achieved his goal, which is a feat that has contributed greatly to his current success.
  
 Addictions
 Andrew describes the term addiction as a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. 
  
 Addictions start and end with the brain chemical dopamine. Whatever we are addicted to overtakes the dopamine circuits and becomes the single most powerful stimulus in our lives.
  
 Dopamine is designed to motivate us and Human beings have evolved as a result of it.
  
 Think about dopamine as a jet engine that propels us towards a certain direction. And when we get to this destination, we get replenished with more dopamine.
  
 Dopamine reinforces the actions that lead to your satisfaction. It's more of a thrill when you want to get what you’re addicted to than actually taking the drug itself.
  
 Therefore, a lot of our daily actions are as a result of dopamine release in the brain. So, it is irrefutable that we need dopamine. The only question is, by what means are you going to get it?
  
 Is it through healthy thoughts and activities that build your life? Or is it through an alternative path that will destroy a person?
  
 Oxytocin and serotonin are the other reward systems in our brain.
  
 They have an effect of making us blissful and feeling a desire to remain still. Examples of times these chemicals are released is when we eat a good meal or after sex. 
  
 The addiction to phones. 
 From Andrew’s definition of what an addiction is, cell phones can definitely be classified as addictive.
  
 Phones have the ability to take a significant amount of people's time and impede upon their ability to experience pleasure with other things. 
  
 Industries in the phone industry know this and curated what you see towards satisfying all of your specific needs. Phones now know people better than people know themselves at times. They understand all of a person’s cravings and habits. The more time that an individual spends on a phone, the more that person can exhaust neural circuits and the capacity to focus.  Also, when someone is trying to be creative (writing, podcasting etc.), spending significant time on a phone can make it harder to concentrate for long periods of time.
  
 Learning to be calm
 The key to leading a happy life is learning to anchor your thinking and maintain control even when you are faced with a lot of problems. Trauma at a young age is a test that many young adults experience, and at the time of the trauma many young people fail to handle it in healthy ways. This is one reason why so many young people turn to drugs as a way to either numb the pain or calm their minds to focus. The good news is, we can learn to cope with stress because the neural circuits that allow us to maintain a clear mind when we’re flooded with adrenaline can be modified by experience. 
  
 If you practice how to handle stress on a consistent basis, when someone encounters real life stress, one can learn how to open up your gaze, take a second or two to analyze the situation, and finally react in the right manner. 
  
 Being too relaxed is actually the reason why so many people relapse into old habits. Your brain cannot differentiate between the dopamine being released as a result of a good thing such as a job promotion and drug abuse. So, people need to learn to embrace stress because it can be there to help you grow. 
  
 Tools to handle stress and anxiety
 We can re-shape and adapt better to how we react to stressful situations through employing various tools.
  
 These tools help us develop a bulletproof mindset in relation to how we handle problems as they arise.
  
 With enough practice, you develop a higher level of understanding and control over your nervous system.
  Respiration - Breathing in twice through your nose and breathing out once through your mouth.
 Vision - Dilating your gaze and seeing as much of the room as you can. Then try to see yourself in that room.
 Stressful environments - E.g. taking a cold shower or 25-50 quick deep breaths.

Everything in Andrew’s life was going very well, until he turned 13 and his parents separated. When his dad left, Andrew’s mother began to experience stress. </p> <p> </p> <p>At about the same time that Andrew’s parents separated, his older sister had just left for college. This left him to face life’s obstacles all alone, and reality took a sudden turn for Andrew.</p> <p> </p> <p>With everything changing so fast in Andrew’s life, he turned to skateboarding as a way to handle and relieve the stress. </p> <p> </p> <p>It was while skateboarding in Embarcadero, San Francisco that Andrew started to meet new friends, most of whom were growing up without much parental control or influence.  This is when Andrew began to recognize that kids growing up without two parent families, lived lives that were more chaotic than other kids with more normal home lives. As Andrew entered puberty, he started skipping school, and from the ages of 14-17, most of his time was spent either skateboarding or with his girlfriend. </p> <p> </p> <p>As time went by, Andrew also turned to boxing as another tool to handle his stress.</p> <p> </p> <p>Andrew was ultimately kicked out of school because of the constant troubles that accompanied his presence. He was offered a chance to resume his studies under the condition of going to therapy. </p> <p> </p> <p>The therapist was of great help, demonstrating to Andrew that there was a better way for him to structure his life. By adding certain types of life tools and structure to his life, Andrew learned that he could achieve the life he was craving internally without relying solely on fighting, boxing and skateboarding. </p> <p> </p> <p>Once Andrew returned to school he started to play football, where his football coach advised Andrew to start running and lifting weights as a way to build his frail body. </p> <p> </p> <p>Always curious and self-driven, Andrew began to lift weights. He fell in love with the body that he was crafting through his new hobby. His great physique ultimately pushed him into being a firefighter as a way to make a living.</p> <p> </p> <p>With his girlfriend moving to college, Andrew would sleep outside of her dorm in the parking lot as a way to stay close with the most intimate friend he had.</p> <p> </p> <p>Slowly, his old habits of fighting started to re-enter his life. On July 4th 1994, after getting into a fight in the small town of Isla Vista, Andrew found himself considering the direction in which his life was headed. Walking back home from the fight, Andrew decided to change his life for the better permanently. He started by enrolling in a local community college and dedicated himself to achieving excellence in weight lifting, running, reading and studying. </p> <p> </p> <p>What followed was a metamorphosis into an organized and self-driven individual. </p> <p> </p> <p>While at the community college, Andrew started taking Psycho-Biology (now known as Neuroscience) and found himself connecting with his charismatic professor, who ultimately acted as a mentor in his educational endeavors. Andrew was self-driven, highly motivated, and made it his life mission to get a PhD in the field of Neuroscience. He achieved his goal, which is a feat that has contributed greatly to his current success.</p> <p> </p> <p>Addictions</p> <p>Andrew describes the term addiction as a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. </p> <p> </p> <p>Addictions start and end with the brain chemical dopamine. Whatever we are addicted to overtakes the dopamine circuits and becomes the single most powerful stimulus in our lives.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dopamine is designed to motivate us and Human beings have evolved as a result of it.</p> <p> </p> <p>Think about dopamine as a jet engine that propels us towards a certain direction. And when we get to this destination, we get replenished with more dopamine.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dopamine reinforces the actions that lead to your satisfaction. It's more of a thrill when you want to get what you’re addicted to than actually taking the drug itself.</p> <p> </p> <p>Therefore, a lot of our daily actions are as a result of dopamine release in the brain. So, it is irrefutable that we need dopamine. The only question is, by what means are you going to get it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Is it through healthy thoughts and activities that build your life? Or is it through an alternative path that will destroy a person?</p> <p> </p> <p>Oxytocin and serotonin are the other reward systems in our brain.</p> <p> </p> <p>They have an effect of making us blissful and feeling a desire to remain still. Examples of times these chemicals are released is when we eat a good meal or after sex. </p> <p> </p> <p>The addiction to phones. </p> <p>From Andrew’s definition of what an addiction is, cell phones can definitely be classified as addictive.</p> <p> </p> <p>Phones have the ability to take a significant amount of people's time and impede upon their ability to experience pleasure with other things. </p> <p> </p> <p>Industries in the phone industry know this and curated what you see towards satisfying all of your specific needs. Phones now know people better than people know themselves at times. They understand all of a person’s cravings and habits. The more time that an individual spends on a phone, the more that person can exhaust neural circuits and the capacity to focus.  Also, when someone is trying to be creative (writing, podcasting etc.), spending significant time on a phone can make it harder to concentrate for long periods of time.</p> <p> </p> <p>Learning to be calm</p> <p>The key to leading a happy life is learning to anchor your thinking and maintain control even when you are faced with a lot of problems. Trauma at a young age is a test that many young adults experience, and at the time of the trauma many young people fail to handle it in healthy ways. This is one reason why so many young people turn to drugs as a way to either numb the pain or calm their minds to focus. The good news is, we can learn to cope with stress because the neural circuits that allow us to maintain a clear mind when we’re flooded with adrenaline can be modified by experience. </p> <p> </p> <p>If you practice how to handle stress on a consistent basis, when someone encounters real life stress, one can learn how to open up your gaze, take a second or two to analyze the situation, and finally react in the right manner. </p> <p> </p> <p>Being too relaxed is actually the reason why so many people relapse into old habits. Your brain cannot differentiate between the dopamine being released as a result of a good thing such as a job promotion and drug abuse. So, people need to learn to embrace stress because it can be there to help you grow. </p> <p> </p> <p>Tools to handle stress and anxiety</p> <p>We can re-shape and adapt better to how we react to stressful situations through employing various tools.</p> <p> </p> <p>These tools help us develop a bulletproof mindset in relation to how we handle problems as they arise.</p> <p> </p> <p>With enough practice, you develop a higher level of understanding and control over your nervous system.</p> <ol> <li>Respiration - Breathing in twice through your nose and breathing out once through your mouth.</li> <li>Vision - Dilating your gaze and seeing as much of the room as you can. Then try to see yourself in that room.</li> <li>Stressful environments - E.g. taking a cold shower or 25-50 quick deep breaths.</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Andrew</p> <p>Website - <a href="http://www.hubermanlab.com/">http://www.hubermanlab.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/">https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/hubermanlab">https://twitter.com/hubermanlab</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Best of 2020 - Rich Roll - Take Small Steps to Change Your Life</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/best-of-2020-rich-roll-take-small-steps-to-change-your-life</link>
      <description>For this last week of 2020, each day we will re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  
 Best of 2020 #4: Rich Roll - Take Small Steps to Change Your Life (Originally released 11/09/20)
  
 Are you are someone who is in pain, stuck in a "rut," struggling with fear or uncertainty?
  
 Congratulations, you are in the right place.  Today's guest says that you MUST use your pain as a motivator to take the small steps to change your life.
  
 Today is a special treat. I have been tracking down this guy to get this interview for quite some time and after hearing who it is you will understand why. Many of you will recognize today's guest from his highly acclaimed podcast. Some of you have may have read his books or just heard of his incredible accomplishments online.
  
 He hosts one of the most popular podcasts out there and his show was the first major podcast to feature my story.  I am so blessed that the tables have turned and I’m now able to pay it forward and have him as a guest on my podcast.
  
 He is also one of the fittest humans alive. Just to give you an idea he completed 5 ironman distance triathlons on 5 different islands of Hawaii in less than a week. He is also a recovery warrior, having over 20 years of sobriety.  Today we get into some parts of his journey that you may not be familiar with.
  
 I am very excited that Rich Roll joins me on the show today. Rich is the host of the highly popular, Rich Roll podcast. His memoir "Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself” was a best seller.  His newest book "Voicing Change" is available for sale tomorrow and will undoubtedly be equally successful.
  
 In addition to being a podcast host and author, he is also a plant based nutrition advocate and ultra endurance athlete.  He is a beacon of light to people worldwide as an inspiring  example of transformation, courage and healthy living. He is the epitome of using Adversity to his Advantage!
  
 “Change is not only possible, it's freely available to you.”
 -Rich Roll
  
 Get ready to have your mind blown by the incredible wisdom and inspiration he's gained from his personal and professional experiences.
  
 We chat about the following topics and so much more:
  
  Rich’s effective way of dealing with anything he’s struggling with
   
  Why surrendering and letting go of what you can't control is so important to get yourself out of a hole
   
  How staying connected to people that inspire you is helpful for your recovery
   
  How can someone go from being in such a fear-based mindset to living more with faith
   
  Developing such incredible conversational skills despite being shy in younger years is possible
   
  Why is it so important to play the long game when it comes to trying to achieve your goals
   
  How Rich uses his podcast as a healthy outlet and a major act of service
   
  The steps you can take for someone who's struggling
   
  Some of the biggest actions Rich personally takes that gets  his mood up
   
 Rich’s advice for someone who wants to change the way they talk to themselves and create lasting change in their life:
  
  "Change is not only possible, it's freely available." -Rich Roll
   
  He shares that it starts with taking one very small action and building off of that. It's not going to happen overnight.
   
  "If you are in pain, congratulations, that's the best place to start. Use that pain as a motivator, as a lever to actually get you up off the couch. Whether that's literal or figurative and start to manifest in very small nuggets, the life that you would like to lead." -Rich Roll
   
  He talks about beginning with very basic actions. It could just start with simple steps such as writing down the things you are struggling with in your life and jotting down the things you want to give more attention to. Another "first step" example can be putting your shoes on to go for a walk because you have aspirations to run a marathon. 
   
  "It's not about quitting your job overnight and making some broad dramatic statement. It really is about these tiny things that you commit yourself to." -Rich Roll
   
  Rich shares that If you are having trouble staying committed or on track, find an accountability partner that you can trust.
   
  "Ask yourself, how committed are you to change and are you willing to take some uncomfortable actions in order to shift your reality?" -Rich Roll
   
 Rich’s Latest Book: Voicing Change
  
 It's an aesthetic compilation of wisdom that showcases many of the life changing conversations between Rich and many of his guests.
  
 The inspiration for this book is really a desire to canonize some of the wisdom and inspiration that Rich received as a result of hosting his podcast.
  
 It's also a way of honoring the many guests that he had on the show, and also honoring the audience.
  
 He wanted to do it in an aesthetically pleasing way. Which is why they decided to go with a coffee table book format.

      <title>Best of 2020 - Shaman Durek - Transforming Your Life Through Spiritual Hacking</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/best-of-2020-shaman-durek-transform-your-life-through-spiritual-hacking</link>
      <description>For this last week of 2020, each day we will re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  
 Best of 2020 #5: Shaman Durek - Transforming Your Life Through Spiritual Hacking (Originally released 7/6/2020)
  
 Are you ready to completely change your perceptions on reality and experience change like never before?  If so, then I’ve got two words for you Shaman Durek. 
  
 In hands down one of the most soul stirring interviews I’ve ever had, stay tuned into the show and be a part of an uplifting biohacking experience that is certain to change your views on everything you know and believe in.
  
 About Shaman Durek
 Although he was destined to be a Shaman because of his lineage. Durek had at one point in his life completely pushed the thought of becoming a Shaman away. 
 Durek then went on a walkabout and chose otherwise, thus becoming the shaman he is today. 
 Descendent from the West African country of Ghana. Durek’s ancestors were the village medicine people. 
 As a result of slave trade and colonialism. Durek’s ancestors ended up practicing Lukumi (The merging of African shamanism and modern Catholicism)
 The merge has had its challenges since the two (African Shamanism and Catholicism) really contradict each other. 
 Durek for example has always had a view of Shamanism as freedom, liberation, acknowledgment and relationship with everything around you. 
 On the other hand, Durek views religion as a clause. With consequences as a result of the choices you make. 
 Growing up and going to school in America was always tough for Durek. Sharing his experience of seeing, feeling and talking to spirits had other kids label him as crazy or evil. 
 It’s thus been a long journey of trying to incorporate shamanism into the mainstream for him.  
  
 The principles of Shamanism
 You as a human being, already have higher consciousness within you.
 The only problem is that you haven’t aligned your synapsis and neurological system in order to input the frequencies and codes in your body. 
 Distractions and inflammations from the environment you are subjected in, is what’s preventing this alignment from happening. 
  
 Shamanism is about enhancement and elevation. 
 To accomplish this, you first need to closely observe your reality and remove the resistance and constrictions that are stopping you from being fully optimized. 
 These constrictions are belief systems are as a result of what you’ve been taught to understand about yourself and the world you live in. They press against you and prevent your freedom. 
 Constrictions include; fears, doubts, shame, guilt, worry, insecurities etc
  
 Once you face these constrictions, you’ll be able to operate in autonomy. Your happiness and freedom will no longer be tied down to other people or activities. 
 Because you are the source of everything you experience.
  
 Blackout. 
 This is a time when magnetic energy frequencies begin to lift the sediment of things that you have hidden away from your consciousness and society. 
 A blackout experience is an opportunity to figure out how to stop reacting to everything, and instead, pull deeper into love, acceptance and understanding. 
  
 Everything we achieve in life is based on getting acknowledged, noticed, heard, seen, appreciated, valued etc. The black out experience is about learning to break out from this culture. 
 Instead of hustling and operating under the fear of lacking something, and motivation to get somewhere, you should instead, see yourself as aligned and magnetically drawing everything you need towards you. 
  
 The trajectory for success is through cooperation, communication, engagement and authenticity.
  
 If you can apply these principles, then you will be able to come out on the other side as a success.  
  
 Why don’t people embrace the Blackout experience then?
 Because we are naturally designed to be safe. 
 We are all egocentric control freaks as a result of the system we’ve been programmed to live in. 
 The key to breaking free is enhancing your spiritual immunity instead of safety. 
  
 The Law of Duality 
 There’s different polarities that are present in our planet. 
 These polarities are acknowledged by a certain group of people or by an individual more than in other groups or individuals. 
 We have all, as result, created a very dualistic way of viewing life. Duality has become a tool to understand reality, which of course, is all wrong. 
 For example, the idea of what’s right or wrong is different in every society, subjective to their belief systems and environment. 
 Because of this duality, we are stuck in the past and forget that we are changing. 
 The reality of consciousness isn’t anything that’s dual or solid, rather it’s something that is fluid and transformable. Because the system is ever changing and evolving.
 Once you accept this reality, then you can be synergetic. You will be liberated from all the attachments, labels, ideas and conditions that have been forced on you subconsciously. 
  
 We live in an illogical world. 
 Your brain operates on frequencies and energy. 
 If we lived in a logical world, then you would be given the ability to be loved unconditionally, truly express yourself as things happen in your life and maintain your biological system in a functional way. 
 But because we don’t. Then you do neither of these things. 
  
 Being logical means that you know you are free to communicate and operate in intelligence that gives you input, responding to what you want to express. 
  
 But because we live in an illogical world, you cannot do all of the above. 
 So your brain finds a way to compensate for the lack of logic in your environment. It then functions based on protecting you and helping you get what you want. 
 To be free, means you are possibility driven and open to all ideas. 
 A wise person is one who can see and consider the diverse options that are at his disposal.

      <title>Best of 2020 - Lori Gottlieb - How to Improve Your Mental Health Right Now</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/best-of-2020-lori-gottlieb</link>
      <description>For this last week of 2020, each day we will be re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
  
 Best of 2020 #6: Lori Gottlieb - How to Improve Your Mental Health Right Now (Originally released 9/28/20)
  
 COVID-19 challenged not only the physical strength of those who suffered from it, but also the mental health of many people suffering from depression due to lack of social connections and interactions.
  
 Are you one of those who feel so lonely during this pandemic? Do you question yourself why you always feel like something’s wrong with you? Then you must hear what my guest says about these.
  
 My guest today is none other than Lori Gottlieb. She is a psychotherapist and a writer. She is the author of the book “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” and writes the weekly “Dear Therapist” advice column for The Atlantic.
  
 A quick overview about how Lori became a therapist:
 Lori started working in the entertainment business because she loved stories and the human condition. So whether that was through film and labor through television, she really felt like the reason that people watch those shows and the reason that they make people laugh or cry is because the stories are about being human. 
  
 And then she worked in a real ER, where she spent a lot of time, because they used that to do research. And their consultant on the show, who was an ER physician said, “You know, I think you'd like it better here than you might in your day job.”
  
 Being skeptical at first, Lori still ended up going up to Stanford for medical school. And when she got there, managed care was just coming into play. And she realized that she wasn't going to be able to really spend time with her patients in the way that she wanted to. So she started writing, in a way to help people to tell their stories.
  
 Then she left medical school to become a journalist. And after working as a journalist, she had a baby. And she felt really disconnected from other adults during the day, because she loved her child. And for sure, new parents can relate to that feeling -- the need to connect with other people who can speak.
  
 So she called up the dean at Stanford Medical School, and said she maybe needs to come back and do psychiatry. And the dean said, “You're welcome to come back. But you'd be doing mostly medication management. And you really want those longer term, deeper connections. So why don't you get a graduate degree in clinical psychology, and then you could do the kind of work that you've always talked about doing.”
  
 So that's what Lori did. And she feels like she went from telling people stories as a journalist, to helping people to change their stories, as a therapist. 
  
 Right now, she still does both. She writes books, she has a weekly column, she has a podcast, and she has a clinical practice. And everything she does is all about a story in the human condition.
  
 What does isolation do to people's mental health?
 As humans, we want to be connected to other people. And even in pre COVID times, Lori thinks that there was a sort of epidemic of loneliness happening because she sees it with her patients.
  
 A lot of the times what happens is we’re kind of distracted by all of these things that are not nourishing to us. And we don't realize how disconnected we are. 
  
 People feel anxious, sad, angry, having difficulty in relationships, and having insomnia or addiction. Whatever is happening, people are looking for something else to fill the hole of what really needs to be where connection would go. 
  
 So during this time, people are really struggling, because they didn't have a lot of practice. And they didn't cultivate those connections. 
  
 And now, the silver lining to this pandemic is that people are really saying, “Wait a minute, I need to prioritize the connections in my life, and I need to prioritize the connections that matter.”
  
 Idiot Compassion vs. Wise Compassion
 Idiot compassion is what we do with our friends. Our friends will tell us a story, and then we'll say, “Yeah, you were right. They were wrong. That's terrible.” which just reinforces our very narrow view of a particular situation.
  
 Wise compassion is what people can get in therapy. We hold up a mirror to someone, and help them to see something about themselves that maybe they haven't been willing or able to do before.
  
 Productive Anxiety vs. Unproductive Anxiety
 Productive Anxiety is when you are reasonably worried about something and it's productive, because it makes you take action to protect yourself. And so we are reasonably worried about getting COVID, so we are wearing masks, we are socially distancing and doing other things that we need to do to take care of our physical immune systems.
  
 Unproductive Anxiety is an obsessive rumination. It's like the distraction from doing something productive. You're just ruminating about something and it might not even be about COVID. It might be about that thing that your partner said to you that you can't get over with. You're like, “I can't believe they said that” and you won't let it go.
  
 Being Envious
 Envy is sometimes really useful, because it tells you what you want. When you feel envy, it's because somebody else has something that you want in your life, too.
  
 Tune into this episode to be able to know the answers to your questions, and understand why you feel that way about yourself during the pandemic.
  
 Lori Gottlieb is so amazing, and she can surely enlighten anyone who hears her speak about human conditions and how to effectively deal with it.

 Best of 2020 #6: Lori Gottlieb - How to Improve Your Mental Health Right Now (Originally released 9/28/20)
  
 COVID-19 challenged not only the physical strength of those who suffered from it, but also the mental health of many people suffering from depression due to lack of social connections and interactions.
  
 Are you one of those who feel so lonely during this pandemic? Do you question yourself why you always feel like something’s wrong with you? Then you must hear what my guest says about these.
  
 My guest today is none other than Lori Gottlieb. She is a psychotherapist and a writer. She is the author of the book “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” and writes the weekly “Dear Therapist” advice column for The Atlantic.
  
 A quick overview about how Lori became a therapist:
 Lori started working in the entertainment business because she loved stories and the human condition. So whether that was through film and labor through television, she really felt like the reason that people watch those shows and the reason that they make people laugh or cry is because the stories are about being human. 
  
 And then she worked in a real ER, where she spent a lot of time, because they used that to do research. And their consultant on the show, who was an ER physician said, “You know, I think you'd like it better here than you might in your day job.”
  
 Being skeptical at first, Lori still ended up going up to Stanford for medical school. And when she got there, managed care was just coming into play. And she realized that she wasn't going to be able to really spend time with her patients in the way that she wanted to. So she started writing, in a way to help people to tell their stories.
  
 Then she left medical school to become a journalist. And after working as a journalist, she had a baby. And she felt really disconnected from other adults during the day, because she loved her child. And for sure, new parents can relate to that feeling -- the need to connect with other people who can speak.
  
 So she called up the dean at Stanford Medical School, and said she maybe needs to come back and do psychiatry. And the dean said, “You're welcome to come back. But you'd be doing mostly medication management. And you really want those longer term, deeper connections. So why don't you get a graduate degree in clinical psychology, and then you could do the kind of work that you've always talked about doing.”
  
 So that's what Lori did. And she feels like she went from telling people stories as a journalist, to helping people to change their stories, as a therapist.

      <title>George Bryant - How to Find Peace After Surviving Unexpected Setbacks</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/george-bryant-the-mindset-hack-to-improve-your-life-no-matter-what</link>
      <description>The Mindset Hack to Improve Your Life No Matter What!!!
  
 New York Times Best Selling Author and Digital Marketing wizard George Bryant is on the show today to share his incredible story of overcoming massive setbacks through the years including a chaotic childhood that that led him to join the military where he spent 12 years serving and multiple deployments.
  
 During his time of service, George encountered many other demons while in the military including nearly losing both of his legs, 6 surgeries and also developed an opiate addiction.
  
 An abrupt departure was soon to follow along with a bunch of trauma and PTSD. George then like many began to find healing through the power of health and wellness. George then started a popular food blog called the civilized caveman and he didn’t stop there. 
  
 He then ended up starting an app and even became a New York Times best selling author. Some may think this would lead to eternal happiness, but instead, it led him down a darker path. George was still hiding from his past and it began to haunt him. This also included his battle with bulimia.
  
 He ended up voluntarily checking himself into a hospital, which was a much needed first step to force him to start dealing with the trauma and PTSD that was swept under the rug for much of his life.
  
 George decided to delete all of his social media, spend time in isolation, and take some serious space to look within to get started on his healing journey and we talk all about it.
  
 We certainly will get into his story and the methods he has used to heal. But, we also discuss things such as how isolation really helped him, how doing the internal work helps things flow externally, the mindset hack to improve your life no matter what and so many more tips and lessons along the way!

      <description>Today’s guest is none other than Grant Cardone. He is a New York Times Best Selling Author of 11 books including the 10x rule and If You’re Not First, You’re Last. He is also a serial entrepreneur and owns and operates seven privately held companies, and a private equity real estate firm, Cardone Capital, with a multifamily portfolio of assets worth over $2 billion. He is the top crowdfunder in the world, having raised over $500 million on social media.  Moreover, he was named the #1 marketer to watch in 2017 by Forbes Magazine. Grant uses his massive 15 million plus following to give back via his Grant Cardone Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to mentoring underprivileged and troubled youth in financial literacy.
  
 He will give incredible tips on how to overcome not only addiction, but any other setbacks, and the value of owning your choices, taking responsibility, and knowing that your identity can change.
  
 He will make us realize that you do not always have to be that victim that messes up, and that you can be something great and experience massive success.
  
 If you’ve experienced some struggles related to any of those mentioned, then this episode is for you!
  
 Grant’s Backstory:
  
 Grant was a danger to himself, his family, his reputation, and it was not good and was very painful for him not just because of drugs, but how he felt for himself. 
  
 The issue for him was when he went to treatment, people were like, “Look. You're powerless, and your life is unmanageable.” But Grant thought that if he’s powerless, how is he going to go create the rest of his life? And that was the one thing he always struggled with.
  
 He then realized that if his only game was just to stay clean and sober for the rest of his life, he’s just gonna end up back on drugs again, because he needed to replace that thing he was doing with a new thing that he wanted to do, and that was good.
  
 In the beginning, his big problem was really just boredom and a lack of direction and inspiration. He never dreamed about where he is now today, but he knew he was capable more than he was doing. Grant certainly knew he was capable more than being just a “druggie.” He had to quit that, to find and be where he is right now.
  
 More of Grant’s stories as he shares his answers to these questions and topics:
  
 Was there ever a specific moment in Grant’s life when he’s absolutely positive that he would overcome the addiction and never go back to it?
  
 Grant’s experience with the people who always doubt his capability
  
 The story when Grant can’t even do a pull up
  
 How did Grant get into fitness
  
 Grant’s routine to stay in shape
  
 Grant’s advice to the people who fall into the comparison trap
  
 The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
 Read this book to achieve "Massive Action" results and accomplish your business dreams! 
 The 10 x rule is basically a multiplier that's saying, “Hey, I don't have to depend on one of anything. I can get a lot of things going and help people reach out to a lot of people, not just drug addicts, not just one group of people, but I can help a whole lot other people that maybe don't have the drug problem, but that have a money problem, or that have a physical, they're not taking care of themselves physically, or they're not contributing back to society enough. I want to build the help in all those arenas, not just a small group of people.”
  
 Takeaways:
  
 “Anybody that's actually able to get through an addiction, if you can really harness the energy and power around it, the ability to be obsessed with a target, the ability to get something no matter how hard it is, and no matter what the obstacles are, if you can convert that energy into something positive, you are unstoppable threat for great things.”
 -Grant Cardone
  
 Being ignored is way worse than being lambasted.
  
 Don’t worry about haters, but worry about people that can’t even see you and can’t even acknowledge you because that just means that you're not doing anything, and you're not doing enough to have anybody actually be annoyed by you.
  
 You just need to be happy with what you’re doing, and not be satisfied with the potential to do more and help out more people.

      <title>Tracy Tutor - How to Deal With Your Biggest Fears So That You Can Crush it Personally and Professionally</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/tracy-tutor-how-to-deal-with-your-biggest-fears-so-that-you-can-crush-it-personally-and-professionally</link>
      <description>My guest today is Tracy Tutor -- a top real estate agent at Douglas Elliman Beverly Hills, consulting with some of the world's top architects and developers. She is the first and only female cast member on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing LA which premiered its 12th season in June 2020. Tune into this episode and learn the importance of speaking up, selling yourself with the utmost confidence, overcoming your biggest fears in order to crush it personally and professionally and much more.
  
 Topics we discussed:
 Tracy’s transition in being a 21 year old who wanted to get into acting and went to USC
  
 How and what got Tracy into real estate industry
  
 How Tracy got into a reality show
  
 Tracy’s advice for people who feel stuck in life, relationships
  
 Tracy’s approach on becoming self aware, and her advice for people who are trying to figure out how to do that for themselves
  
 What role has fitness played in Tracy’s life
  
 What kind of workouts she does and how it evolved through the years
  
 Tracy’s tips to develop a mindset to be able to kind of sell yourself utmost confidence that you can.
  
 Something Tracy has gone through recently that has been challenging for her, and how she got through it
  
 Tracy’s advice for her young self to navigate through her fear
   Takeaways:  When you're true to yourself more often, the answers just come so much easier.  You have to really look at yourself in the mirror every day and see exactly who you are, whether or not you choose to share that person with everybody else.  Being self-aware is all about recognizing your faults, taking ownership of the mistakes that you make, and the failures that you have in relationships and communication, and learning from that.  Having self awareness is kind of understanding what your weaknesses are, as well as your strengths -- and that's a complete person.  Being confident it starts with working out and feeling good.  Do deal with failure, it's important to kind of have that emotion, go through it, feel it 100% and then move the hell on from it and leave it.  Trust your gut and actually use it every single time you're in a human interaction. When you feel something, speak it. Period.

      <title>Dr. Will Bulsiewicz - All About the Gut Microbiome and How to Strengthen Your Immune System Right Now</title>

      <description>All About the Gut Microbiome and How to Strengthen Your Immune System Right Now!
  
 Today, we are going to talk all about the gut microbiome and how to strengthen your immune system right now. Clearly, with everything going on with COVID-19, this episode couldn’t come at a better time. I’ve had the opportunity to talk to one of the best there is on this topic. 
  
 Today's guest is Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, commonly known as Dr. B. He is an award-winning gastroenterologist and the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Fiber Fueled.
  
 Many might not know this, but our gut is connected to almost every part of our body including our brain. Did you know that 90% of our serotonin and 50 % of our dopamine is produced in our gut?
  
 So sometimes when we feel stressed, anxious, and depressed, this all might be tied directly to having an unhealthy gut.
  
 It’s incredibly fascinating as is the fact that 70% of our immune system is in our gut as well.
  
 This is why we should really be paying attention to our gut health more than ever as COVID-19 impacts so many people with underlying health issues and weaker immune systems.
  
 In this episode, Dr. B will explain everything you need to know about the gut microbiome, how our gut health impacts things such as COVID-19, our immune system, and mental health. He will also explain the secret to how you can discover how healthy your gut is in the comfort of your and his tip for this will cost you absolutely nothing other than some time.
  
 Finally, he will also provide the blueprint of what you can do right now to optimize your gut health and strengthen your immune system plus so much more.
  
 Dr. B’s Backstory:
  
 Dr. B already knew when he was a teenager that he wanted to be a doctor. He’s always been an idealist, and what he really wanted to do was to help kids, particularly the adolescent and teenage kids, because he feels like they're overlooked and they deserve more attention in this transformative period in their life. So he initially set on a path to go to medical school so that he could become a child psychiatrist.
  
 During Dr. B’s journey to become a doctor, he suddenly fell in love with gastroenterology. At the age of 30, everything went well for his career. He was the chief medical resident at Northwestern in Chicago, one of the top internal medicine residency in the country. He won the highest award in his residency class and published eight papers in gastroenterology journals.
  
 Of all those achievements, he still felt miserable. He hated himself. And that’s when he realized that it’s all about the diet that he was raised, which was the very classic “1980s diet” -- hotdogs, Doritos, Kool Aid, bagel bites. He gained 50 pounds, had low energy, super low self-esteem and high blood pressure.
  
 He did some exercise like what most guys do, but everything changed when he started dating his wife who’s on a very clean diet. Out of curiosity, he followed that thread and started making small changes.
  
 He noticed that he instantly felt better. He didn't have the hangover after meals, he was energized, his skin started to change, and his hair got thicker. His weight also started falling of as well.
  
 Those changes inspired him so much that he became obsessed with digging into the medical literature. He became a believer because of the way that it transformed his own life. He felt that his patients deserved it too. So he brought that into his clinic, and saw similar amazing and transformative results with them.
  
 In 2016, he just felt compelled to share the story, but also felt that it wasn’t enough. That’s the reason why he created his Instagram account. He didn’t expect so much in the beginning, so when he reached 1,000 followers, Dr. B and his wife celebrated and popped a bottle of champagne.
  
 Fast forward, his book called “Fiber Fueled” came out in May this year, and it's a New York Times bestseller. Today, they're closing in on 100,000 copies and it’s only a little over six months since the book came out.
  
 Now that you already know Dr. B’s backstory, take a look at these very interesting topics and lessons we discussed:
  
  The meaning of the gut microbiome
   
  Why stress and the gut microbiome go hand in hand with each other
   
  The different ways our gut can communicate with our brain
   
  The antagonistic pleiotropy
   
  The connection between gut microbiome and COVID-19
   
  Things that people can do to strengthen their gut and immune system
   
  The special connection between our gut microbes and fiber
   
  Why do people need to pay attention to where they're getting the fiber from
   
  The importance of the diversity of plants in your diet
   
  Bonus: smoothie recipe of Dr. B’s wife
   
  The Bristol Stool Chart
   
  The different types of bowel movement
   
  The effect on trauma in the gut
   
  How Dr. B and his team help the patients who were victims of trauma and abuse
   
  Inflammation in the gut
   
 Fiber Fueled by Dr. B:
  
 “Fiber Fueled is so much more than a health book. It’s a step-by-step methodology to stop the misinformation madness caused by the diet industry, and show you the simple, science-backed process for a lifestyle that is effortless, sustainable, and above all else, it transforms your health by optimizing your gut microbiome.”
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Microbes are not just passively in the human body. They are there with a purpose. They have been there since the beginning of human history. 
  
 There's never been a sterile human, we've always had a relationship with these microbes.
  
 The healthy microbiomes
  give us access to our nutrients.
 are connected to our immune system.
 are connected to our metabolism.
 are connected to our hormones.
 are connected to our brain.
   
 A healthy gut is the path to a healthy brain, including our mood.
  
 Our bowel movement is actually predominantly made up of your gut microbes.
  
 Plant Diversity in your diet Is king when it comes to having a healthy gut. Simple ways are through smoothies and salads.

      <title>Daniella Monet and Andrew Gardner - Former Nickelodeon Star and Coffee Guru on Adulting, Mental Health and Entrepreneurship</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/daniella-monet-and-andrew-gardner-former-nickelodeon-star-and-coffee-guru-on-adulting-mental-health-and-entrepreneurship</link>
      <description>Adulting Like a Mother Father Co-Hosts Daniella Monet and Andrew Gardner join me on the show today! 
  
 You may recognize Daniella Monet from her days as a former Nickelodeon star including a main role on the show, “Victorious” alongside Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice, and others.
  
 The show ended up winning the Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards twice and was also nominated for 4 Emmys.  While many young stars find themselves spiraling down a dark path after experiencing fame, Daniella, fortunately, wasn’t one of them.
  
 She has created a new path for herself that includes entrepreneurship, motherhood and co-hosting the popular Adulting Like a Mother Father podcast with her fiance, Andrew Gardner, which I had the absolute pleasure of being a guest on. You are going to want to go to check it out.
  
 Andrew has a story of his own, which we will dive more into during the show. But, just to give you some context, he is a former CPA turned entrepreneur and coffee guru. He took that leap of faith and left the business world to pursue his dreams of making a difference in the world through being a father and starting a company of his own, Drew Coffee. Drew Coffee is a single batch sustainably roasting company that was recently released a few weeks ago that Andrew considers his “second baby” (PS they have another human on the way). Andrew and I have developed a friendship over these last few months and actually had the chance to grab a coffee with him last time I was in LA.
  
 If you are having a hard time making decisions to get to the place where you want to be, and you’re always comparing your status to other people’s lives, then you must listen to this episode. 
  
 Daniella and Andrew will make us realize that knowing what you really want, loving what you do, and being happy for other people’s achievements will give us genuine happiness and contentment.
  
 Topics we discussed:
  
  How Daniella and Andrew met each other
   
  Daniella’s story about what she missed out when she was in and out of school at the age of 13
   
  How working full time in the entertainment industry at the age of 15 affected Daniella’s mental health
   
  Why Daniella thinks many young stars spiral downward
   
  What are the things Daniella does to lift herself up and how she pivoted out of acting
   
  Andrew’s backstory from college to being an entrepreneur
   
  How Daniella and Andrew started their podcast
   
  Andrew’s story about his decision to stop drinking
   
  Comparison trap, and how they dealt with it
   
  Other things that shifted Daniella’s energy into continuing her own journey
   
  Daniella’s explanation about what plant-based means
   
  How Andrew and Daniella deal with COVID
   
  Meditations they both do
   
  What’s next for Andrew Gardner and Daniella Monet?
   
 Adulting Like a Mother Father
  
 The focus is to ask questions that get people thinking about what they can do themselves versus looking for validation, what they can do to move forward, and whatever they've been dealing with in their lives, how do they succeed in adulting.
  
 Drew Coffee
  
 They use an air roasting process, which is a lot cleaner for the environment.
  
 It's ethically sustainably sourced from smallholder producers who own less than 25 acres. So these aren't these massive farms and their farming practices are typically done in organic fashion, they may not have the certs just because of the cost and paperwork factor. But the work is still done that way.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 In the entertainment industry, where a lot of people are very self centric, you have to be super mindful of who you're hanging out with, and whether they have your best interests at heart at the end of the day.
  
 The important thing is to never close yourself off to other opportunities. 
  
 “I'm more happy with my family, my kid, focusing on our businesses, focusing on fitness, coffee, specifically. They fill me up. They make me feel way better than a drink does. And so for me, at this point in my life, it's enough for me to say, I don't really need it because there's plenty else out there for me.”
 -Andrew Gardner
  
 It's not always easy. But that (applauding others for their success) is the only way you're gonna get what you want in life. There's no other way around it.
  
 If you think about your time ending at some point, and where you're at right now, if it's not where you want to be, you’ve got to do the things to get where you want to be in that short amount of time, because it's ending at some point.

 You may recognize Daniella Monet from her days as a former Nickelodeon star including a main role on the show, “Victorious” alongside Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice, and others.
  
 The show ended up winning the Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards twice and was also nominated for 4 Emmys.  While many young stars find themselves spiraling down a dark path after experiencing fame, Daniella, fortunately, wasn’t one of them.
  
 She has created a new path for herself that includes entrepreneurship, motherhood and co-hosting the popular Adulting Like a Mother Father podcast with her fiance, Andrew Gardner, which I had the absolute pleasure of being a guest on. You are going to want to go to check it out.
  
 Andrew has a story of his own, which we will dive more into during the show. But, just to give you some context, he is a former CPA turned entrepreneur and coffee guru. He took that leap of faith and left the business world to pursue his dreams of making a difference in the world through being a father and starting a company of his own, Drew Coffee.

      <title>Robin Sharma - How To Turn Your Pain into Success</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/robin-sharma-how-to-turn-your-pain-into-success</link>
      <description>How To Turn Your Pain into Success!
  
 “If we would only do our own part and reclaim that inner heroism, then we wouldn't have to wait for these heroes that we're all waiting for, to lead us to better days.” -Robin Sharma
  
 I am sure you will today's guest as he is an icon in the personal development world. You certainly may have read heard of his books or maybe you have come across his inspirational content online.  But, today I am trying to take our conversation down a new path and really get deep into the mind of Robin Sharma.
  
 Robin Sharma is one of the top leadership experts in the world and has written books that have sold over 15,000,000 copies. His clients include rock stars, royalty, billionaires, celebrity CEOs, and companies such as Starbucks, Nike, GE, The Coca-Cola Company, NASA and Microsoft.
  
 All the things he will be sharing with us will hit you differently and will surely blow your mind!
  
 Interesting topics we talked about:
  
  Why people should cultivate a morning routine and how it can not only help them, but transform their life
   
  Robin’s view on pain and how to move through it in a way that can help people become a better version of themselves
   
  Robin’s view on mindset and why it's just as important to work on the other three interior empires:
   Heartset
 Healthset
 Soulset
  
   
  The 20/20/20 formula
   Move
 Reflect
 Grow
  
   
  How can somebody actually achieve greatness if they really want to?
   
  How to rewire the brain program and change the bad habits or the way they talk to themselves that have been robbing them from joy and peace in their life
   
  The best way to pivot from a bad day
   
  The advantage of limiting the use of phone for social media
   
  The cognitive bandwidth
   
 Takeaways:
  
 Rising at 5am is the period of greatest quietude in this age of dramatic distraction.
  
 Internal mastery or personal mastery precedes every other type of mastery.
  
 Your beliefs drive your behavior.
  
 Genius is less about genetics and more about your daily habits.
  
 If you want to change your bad habits, take note of the following:
  
   Ask yourself, “What does your terroir look like?”
    
  Terroir is what makes a great wine. Robin talked about it and used this word in a very meaningful way. Listen to this episode to know what this means!
   
  
  Remove the joy stealers from your life.
   
  1% wins. Small, daily, seemingly insignificant improvements, when done consistently over time, lead to stunning results.
   
  Meditation is powerful.
   
  Under every excuse lives a fear. And if you recite your excuses long enough, you actually believe they are true.
   
  Remember that even in this time of intense suffering during the pandemic, there is so much to be grateful for.
   
 It's important to develop your own scoreboard for success.
  
 It’s important to develop your own accounting system for winning.
  
 Your story is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  
 Changing your story about who you are and what do you want to stand for in the world is the beginning of transforming your performance.

      <title>Natalie Jill - The Secret To Overcoming Limiting Beliefs</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/natalie-jill-the-secret-to-overcoming-limiting-beliefs</link>
      <description>The Secret To Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
  
 If you are struggling to change the way you talk to yourself or feel that you are having a hard time reaching your goals, overcoming your limiting beliefs will help you change all of that! 
  
 Being unable to believe in yourself and being always doubtful about your capabilities are two of the most common struggles people are trying to deal with these days. Many of us are having a hard time shifting from thinking negative things about ourselves, to staying optimistic and believing that we can achieve anything we want.
  
 I believe in order to overcome those struggles you must take responsibility for yourself and seize your power back. So today’s conversation is going to focus on doing just that. 
  
 So I’d like to welcome Natalie Jill to the podcast today. 
  
 You may recognize Natalie Jfrom her online fitness programs, her book or her Leveling Up podcast or through her content on social media where she reaches millions of people.
  
 Natalie is a Fat Loss Expert turned high-performance coach. She helps women change their conversation around age, potential, and possibility. She does this through simple and fun unique methods that are super relatable to anyone. I know she mainly helps women, but if you are a male and listening to this we can all relate to what she shares including the secrets to overcoming limiting beliefs,  creating anything you want from nothing, the blessings of being real and raw, why you need to lose the victim mindset and also her incredible story of overcoming some major turmoil in her life....
  
 13 years ago, Natalie was a divorced single mom, broke, overweight, in debt, and had lost her house and her confidence. She has been through a lot, but these challenges didn’t stop her. Instead, she used them as a motivation to completely turn her life around. She started sharing what she’s going through and telling people what she is doing about it. That’s how she attracted people following along because there are tons of people who can relate to her story.
  
  With all the challenges Natalie has gone through, how exactly did she use those experiences to help her with what she does with coaching and helping people improve
   
  How did Natalie manage to deal with all the hardships she has gone through and stay positive during the crazy times
   
  Creating anything you want from nothing
   
  Victim mindset
   
  Ownership and personal responsibility
   
  How to pivot out of the false assumed truth (FAT) during COVID
   
  How does DVA (decide, vision, action) work?
   
  Natalie’s parenting style as a single mom to her daughter
   
  COVID’s impact on Natalie’s business
   
  Natalie’s thoughts about what’s holding women back from seeing results in their lives
   
  The biggest blessing from being real and raw online
    
 Takeaways:
  
 Sharing your struggles about hardships and sharing what you're doing about it is empowering.
  
 We all have a purpose and we make our own luck.
  
 Everything, especially when it comes to our bodies, and health and fitness, it's all mindset-related.
  
 We can be an entirely different person by changing just three things:
  Your thoughts
 Your actions
 Your habits
   
 It is always our responsibility. It is no one else’s fault.
  
 We have to recognize the false assumed truths first, before we can start shifting them.
  
 When you serve and you come from a place of giving, serving and helping and you're generous, it can help you too.
  
 If you don't believe in yourself, find someone else who does.
  
 When in doubt, tell the truth.
  
 When you tell the truth and you show what’s real, then you're not going to be sensitive to triggers.

      <title>James Nestor - How You Breathe May Be Destroying Your Health</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/james-nestor-how-you-breathe-may-be-destroying-your-health</link>
      <description>What if I told you the way you breathe could potentially be destroying your health?!
  
 I got your attention didn’t I?
  
 Don’t be scared I have just the guest today on the show, that I will introduce in a moment that is going unpack all things on “the breath” and help inspire you to breathe properly so that you can improve your ability to function cognitively, mentally, emotionally and physically. 
  
 Today’s guest is James Nestor, an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art was released earlier this year and was an instant New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly--and how to get it back. This is a book I could not put down once I started and It was absolutely “breath taking” for so many reasons..no pun intended.
  
 Breath will be translated into more than 30 languages in 2021. Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, the United Nations, Global Classroom, and appeared on more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, and more.
  
 Be ready to have your mind blown by the wisdom James shares which is all based on his research and experience.
  
 Show Notes:
  
 Many of us might not know that breathing has a huge impact on our physical, mental and emotional health. But, it’s how we breathe that is the most critical. Having James on this show will absolutely be helpful for us to know the importance of proper breathing in our daily life.
  
 The reason why James decided to study about breathing is because back then, even though he was doing all the right things to become healthy, he still suffered from a lot of respiratory illnesses such as constant bronchitis, mild pneumonia, and wheezing. He thought that getting sick was just normal because he lives in the city, until his doctor suggested for him to take a breathing class. And that’s how it all started.
  
 You will be enlightened by the results of the experiment James and his team conducted. He will be showing us facts as we talk about the following topics:
  
  The importance of nostril breathing and why we are breathing wrong
   
  The findings in doing the experiment where he plugged his nose for 10 days and how it impacted:
   
  Blood pressure
 Heart rate
 Sleep 
 Fatigue
 Anxiety
 Mental capabilities
 Stress
   
  How breathing affects three struggles people are facing during these days:
   
  Immunity
 Stress
 Sleep
   
  The damages mouth breathing can do to our nose muscles
   
  The correlation with breath work and helping people heal from trauma and/or grief that are usually the reasons why people get into drug addiction
   
  James’ experience with managing his own stress levels
   
  The importance of holding our breath and what it does as a whole on our body
   
  How to properly breathe to calm your anxiety
   
 The Book “Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art”
  
 Everyone can relate to James’ book because we all breathe. 
  
 Basically, what James is trying to encapsulate in this book is to describe to people that there's this amazing resource right in the front of our faces — and that is proper breathing.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Breathing is a pillar of health. It is the thing that ties all of the different systems of the body together.
  
 Our nose is our first line of defense for our health.
  
 We have to understand our physiology, how our body processes air, how gas exchange works, how oxygen feeds our hungry cells. And once we understand that, we can really appreciate why it's so important to breathe correctly.
  
 If we can become aware of our breath, we can then take control of it.
  
 What breath holding allows us to do is become more comfortable with the increase of CO2.
  
 When we take control of our breathing, we can influence all our organs’ functions down to our immune systems.

      <itunes:summary>What if I told you the way you breathe could potentially be destroying your health?!
  
 I got your attention didn’t I?
  
 Don’t be scared I have just the guest today on the show, that I will introduce in a moment that is going unpack all things on “the breath” and help inspire you to breathe properly so that you can improve your ability to function cognitively, mentally, emotionally and physically. 
  
 Today’s guest is James Nestor, an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art was released earlier this year and was an instant New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly--and how to get it back. This is a book I could not put down once I started and It was absolutely “breath taking” for so many reasons..no pun intended.
  
 Breath will be translated into more than 30 languages in 2021. Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, the United Nations, Global Classroom, and appeared on more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, and more.
  
 Be ready to have your mind blown by the wisdom James shares which is all based on his research and experience.
  
 Show Notes:
  
 Many of us might not know that breathing has a huge impact on our physical, mental and emotional health. But, it’s how we breathe that is the most critical. Having James on this show will absolutely be helpful for us to know the importance of proper breathing in our daily life.
  
 The reason why James decided to study about breathing is because back then, even though he was doing all the right things to become healthy, he still suffered from a lot of respiratory illnesses such as constant bronchitis, mild pneumonia, and wheezing. He thought that getting sick was just normal because he lives in the city, until his doctor suggested for him to take a breathing class. And that’s how it all started.
  
 You will be enlightened by the results of the experiment James and his team conducted. He will be showing us facts as we talk about the following topics:
  
  The importance of nostril breathing and why we are breathing wrong
   
  The findings in doing the experiment where he plugged his nose for 10 days and how it impacted:
   
  Blood pressure
 Heart rate
 Sleep 
 Fatigue
 Anxiety
 Mental capabilities
 Stress
   
  How breathing affects three struggles people are facing during these days:
   
  Immunity
 Stress
 Sleep
   
  The damages mouth breathing can do to our nose muscles
   
  The correlation with breath work and helping people heal from trauma and/or grief that are usually the reasons why people get into drug addiction
   
  James’ experience with managing his own stress levels
   
  The importance of holding our breath and what it does as a whole on our body
   
  How to properly breathe to calm your anxiety
   
 The Book “Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art”
  
 Everyone can relate to James’ book because we all breathe. 
  
 Basically, what James is trying to encapsulate in this book is to describe to people that there's this amazing resource right in the front of our faces — and that is proper breathing.
  
 Takeaways:
  
 Breathing is a pillar of health. It is the thing that ties all of the different systems of the body together.
  
 Our nose is our first line of defense for our health.
  
 We have to understand our physiology, how our body processes air, how gas exchange works, how oxygen feeds our hungry cells. And once we understand that, we can really appreciate why it's so important to breathe correctly.
  
 If we can become aware of our breath, we can then take control of it.
  
 What breath holding allows us to do is become more comfortable with the increase of CO2.
  
 When we take control of our breathing, we can influence all our organs’ functions down to our immune systems.

      <title>Christine Hassler - How to Heal From Your Past and Set Yourself Free</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/christine-hassler-how-to-heal-from-your-past-and-set-yourself-free</link>
      <description>How to Heal Your Past and Set Yourself Free!!!!
  
 Unfortunately, most people are chasing external validation and haven’t healed from their past. The lack of forgiveness for themselves and others can rob anyone from experiencing authentic joy and fulfillment. We all have insecurities — it may stem from what we see on social media, something painful that we experienced in childhood or in a previous relationship.  If left untreated, these inner demons can lead to deep levels of anxiety, fear, depression and stress. 
  
 So with that being said, I have the perfect guest today that will help you understand the importance of healing our past, specifically our inner child and how it can set you free. 
  
 Many of you will recognize today’s guest Christine Hassler from her top rated podcast, her books and her work as a master life coach.
  
 In this episode we chat about things such as why we need failed relationships to grow,  the tremendous power of forgiveness, the definition of an expectation hangover, what does healing really mean and why she believes nothing isn’t healable and much more. 
  
 More on Christine:
  
 Christine Hassler is a Master  coach, facilitator and speaker with over 15 years of experience. She is the best-selling author of three books, most recently Expectation Hangover: Free Yourself From Your Past, Change your Present and Get What you Really Want and is the host of top-rated podcast “Over it and On With It” where she coaches people live on the show. Christine is known globally for her ability to identify what is holding someone back and compassionately guide them to clarity.  She also works with companies and organizations to increase the productivity and decrease the stress of their employees. Christine has a Masters degree in Spiritual Psychology and implements elements of NLP, psychology, spirituality, science and a lot of her own diverse life experience into her work.  She’s appeared on: The Today Show, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, E!, Style, and The New York Times.  Christine believes once we get out of our own way, we can show up to make the meaningful impact we are here to make.
  
 So let’s get this healing conversation started and help me welcome the incredibly gifted Christine Hassler to the show.

      <title>Apolo Ohno - Why You Must Deal with Your Mental Health Before You Achieve Greatness</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/apolo-ohno-why-you-must-deal-with-your-mental-health-before-you-make-it</link>
      <description>Why You Must Deal with Your Mental Health Before You "Make it."
  
 There are so many people that believe they will be eternally satisfied once they have "made it."
  
 How many times have you said or heard someone say when I get into a new relationship, I will experience happiness or whenever I hit my salary goal or have financial success I will get out of this rut.
  
 We hear that stuff time and time again and we all know that it can make us happy short term, but then our old habits and patterns come back. If you aren’t happy with the person you see in the mirror, none of that other stuff matters.
  
 So I encourage you to really pay attention to what my guest today has to say and our discussion in why you have to take care of your mental and emotional health and not focus so much on things externally.
  
 Today, I had the opportunity to chat with Apolo Ohno — America's most decorated Winter Olympic Athlete of all time, best selling author and highly sought after keynote speaker (he also won Dancing With the Stars).
  
 In this episode, you will gain a lot of life changing lessons based on his personal experience. We get into many topics such as the importance of managing your mental health, how to navigate transitions, dealing with pain and failure, his best practices and so much more.
  
 Show Notes: 
  
 When we hear the word “athlete”, the first thing that comes to our minds is that we expect them to be strong and capable of staying focused and be well-driven, especially those who are at the peak of their career. Little did we know, they’re also struggling with mental health problems.
  
 Apolo will be talking about the Olympians’ struggles and the HBO documentary The Weight of Gold that premiered this past summer that showcases how the pressure of being an olympian can massively impact your mental health. It also encourages people to ask for help and not be afraid to open up if they are struggling mentally.
  
 As a dedicated mental health advocate, he will make us understand that this anyone can have battles with their mental health. It doesn’t matter who you are or how much you have achieved. He will also be sharing some points that can enlighten everyone about where the struggles of an athlete usually come from
  
 Just like all of us, one of the biggest parts of the adversity of being an Olympian athlete is that they are unsure of what’s going to happen once everything they currently have is all gone — may it be material things, money, or fame. 
  
 Apolo will give his insights about how important it is to immediately identify your strengths and weaknesses, understand the process, and be willing to embrace change so that you’ll know what to do once you have decided to move on to the next chapter of your life.
  
 Apolo also encourages the listeners to constantly ask this question:
  
 "What do you want from life and what does life want from you?"
  
 We all need to know our purpose and meaning. We just have to take time to reflect, and look within.
  
 Quote:
  
 “What's being thrown at you is out of your control. How you respond, react, and maneuver through this life experience is powerful, and it is within your control.”
 -Apolo Ohno

      <itunes:summary>Why You Must Deal with Your Mental Health Before You "Make it."
  
 There are so many people that believe they will be eternally satisfied once they have "made it."
  
 How many times have you said or heard someone say when I get into a new relationship, I will experience happiness or whenever I hit my salary goal or have financial success I will get out of this rut.
  
 We hear that stuff time and time again and we all know that it can make us happy short term, but then our old habits and patterns come back. If you aren’t happy with the person you see in the mirror, none of that other stuff matters.
  
 So I encourage you to really pay attention to what my guest today has to say and our discussion in why you have to take care of your mental and emotional health and not focus so much on things externally.
  
 Today, I had the opportunity to chat with Apolo Ohno — America's most decorated Winter Olympic Athlete of all time, best selling author and highly sought after keynote speaker (he also won Dancing With the Stars).
  
 In this episode, you will gain a lot of life changing lessons based on his personal experience. We get into many topics such as the importance of managing your mental health, how to navigate transitions, dealing with pain and failure, his best practices and so much more.
  
 Show Notes: 
  
 When we hear the word “athlete”, the first thing that comes to our minds is that we expect them to be strong and capable of staying focused and be well-driven, especially those who are at the peak of their career. Little did we know, they’re also struggling with mental health problems.
  
 Apolo will be talking about the Olympians’ struggles and the HBO documentary The Weight of Gold that premiered this past summer that showcases how the pressure of being an olympian can massively impact your mental health. It also encourages people to ask for help and not be afraid to open up if they are struggling mentally.
  
 As a dedicated mental health advocate, he will make us understand that this anyone can have battles with their mental health. It doesn’t matter who you are or how much you have achieved. He will also be sharing some points that can enlighten everyone about where the struggles of an athlete usually come from
  
 Just like all of us, one of the biggest parts of the adversity of being an Olympian athlete is that they are unsure of what’s going to happen once everything they currently have is all gone — may it be material things, money, or fame. 
  
 Apolo will give his insights about how important it is to immediately identify your strengths and weaknesses, understand the process, and be willing to embrace change so that you’ll know what to do once you have decided to move on to the next chapter of your life.
  
 Apolo also encourages the listeners to constantly ask this question:
  
 "What do you want from life and what does life want from you?"
  
 We all need to know our purpose and meaning. We just have to take time to reflect, and look within.
  
 Quote:
  
 “What's being thrown at you is out of your control. How you respond, react, and maneuver through this life experience is powerful, and it is within your control.”
 -Apolo Ohno

      <title>Michael Bosstick - The Most Surprising Advice on How to Be Successful</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/michael-bosstick-the-most-surprising-advice-on-how-to-be-successful</link>
      <description>We can’t deny the fact that there are a lot of people who are so afraid to be judged by others because of their failures. Many are also afraid to open up and share their own stories and take a chance on themselves because of their lack of credentials or because they are fearful of looking like a fool.
  
 But, what if I told you the very thing you MUST do to be successful is to put yourself out there, fail and not be afraid to look like an idiot. 
  
 There are also a fair amount people that read book after book only to find themselves in the same place in their lives. Or they may keep jumping from podcast to podcast and unable to move the needle either personally or professionally. Many are having such a hard time really applying what they have learned from past personal development material because they don’t take the time to really process it, implement It and stay consistent. 
  If you happen to experience any of those, then this is the right episode for you!
 Those are some of the many topics that my guest and I are going to talk about.
  
 My guest today knows all about being successful, discovering talent, podcasting, being a parent, overcoming adversity and creating a massive a side hustle. A side hustle that is now one of the top podcasts in the world that he co hosts with his wife Lauryn that now has over 80 million downloads just to give you a hint as to who this might be. Another hint is that That podcast is called the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Podcast.
  
 The story doesn’t stop there after boot strapping, self producing and monetizing their own podcast, it inspired him to co-found Dear Media Podcast network where he is the CEO. 
  
 Dear Media is the first and leading podcast network focused on female voices, audiences, and narratives. With close to 40 shows under management and growing Dear Media is changing the podcast/audio landscape and amplifying female voices. Dear Media is also changing the way talent interacts in this medium. Dear Media's business model brings opportunity not only to podcast channels but any channel that touches a talent's brand. 
  
 My guest today is Michael Bosstick and will share his tips for people to become confident and be unbothered about other people’s judgements so that they can continue to move forward and achieve their goals. He will also provide some of the most surprising advice on what it takes to be successful and so much more!
  
 Get ready to listen and take note of his advice and also make sure to implement what he has to say into your life. It will all be worth it!
  
 The Skinny Confidential Podcast:
  
 The podcast started as a side hustle. Michael was earning other businesses and Lauryn was running her brand. The podcast was a side thing they did as a hobby. And since then, it's obviously become a decently successful show.  In addition to that, it was the catalyst to kick off the Dear Media Podcast Network, and the entire network -- the team, the 50+ shows represent would not be possible and not be represented, if Michael didn't take a chance and jump into the show with Lauryn and have that sh*tty thing that ultimately looked really foolish doing in the beginning, but now has kind of proven itself out.
  
 Michael’s Advice:
  
  
  For the people who are afraid of judgments:
   
  
 No matter what you do, you're going to look a little stupid, a little foolish, a little bit silly in the beginning, but ultimately on the other side of that is where you'll find happiness and success. 
  
  
  For anyone who is afraid to open up and share their stories:
   
  
 People can’t find success long term if they're not authentic. If you don't bear it all and you don't put it out there in an authentic way, there's no longevity, which it really like reinforces and enables you to go out there and just be yourself.
  
  
  For people who are struggling to implement what they’ve learned from podcasts and books:
   
  
 Everything starts with actually taking a step of action -- step one. 
  
 The mistake people make is that they tend to start thinking from A to Z instead of A to B. If you actually go and do the first thing you could potentially do, and you take step one and do the main thing that you can do right now, it will absolutely lead to the rest. You will figure it out along the way you need to build momentum. 
  
 People that actually have success in life are the people that take massive amounts of action.
  
 Current Struggles:
  
 Michael will be sharing about some of the struggles and discomfort he dealt and the importance of just staying in your lane, accepting the things that work for you and not worrying about what other people think.
  
 He will also talk about the biggest challenges they are facing right now and will be sharing his tips on how to get through it every single day.
  
 This is really interesting. Tune in to this episode and your perspective will surely be influenced in a better way!
  
 Words of motivation from Michael:
  
 People that have those judgments and actually care about what you're doing and judge you for failing are the real losers.
  
 The moment you feel triggered is the moment you should stop, pause, and say, “Why?”

      <title>Brian Koppelman - Feeling Stuck? Do This One Thing</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/brian-koppelman-feeling-stuck-do-this-one-thing</link>
      <description>If you are feeling stuck or uncertain right now, then you need to listen to this episode!
  
 The television and film industry has definitely changed during this pandemic and my guest today is the co-creator, show runner and executive producer of one of the most popular shows there is right now, that like many had to pause production during COVID. The show I am referencing, Billions is also one of my personal favorites and a favorite to so many.
  
 My guest today is Brian Koppelman. He is the co-creator, executive producer, and showrunner of Showtime's hit drama series, BILLIONS. Over the past two decades, Koppelman and his writing/producing/directing partner, David Levien, have created an influential and diverse body of work in both film and television. Some of their most noteworthy credits include Rounders, Ocean's Thirteen, Solitary Man, The Illusionist, Runaway Jury, Tilt, ESPN's 30 for 30 (This Is What They Want), and I Smile Back. Koppelman is the host and creator of the hit podcast, The Moment with Brian Koppelman.
  
 If you are currently struggling and uncertain about your future, this is the perfect episode for you! He will give lots of advice about how to deal with the feeling of being stuck, and tips on how to be able to follow your heart’s desire and do what you really love. 
  
 Everything he is about to say in this episode is all based on his life experiences, and I’m sure that a lot of people, especially in these hard times can truly relate. 
  
 Brian’s Backstory:
  
 Brian loved the arts, and he was in every play, and assistant directed all the plays at school, but he didn't think that he was a particularly gifted artist.
  
 The hardest part of school for him was school itself because he had pretty severe ADHD.
  
 Brian was always singled out as being smart, but being lazy or not willing to do what was necessary.
  
 He was drawn to books and movies, and music and comedy. 
  
 He loves listening to people talk and then being able to repeat it and incorporate it in his own language. And he always could remember the dialogue and memorize movies. 
  
 He just didn't know that those are necessarily useful skills for his life as a writer, it just didn't connect for him for a very, very long time.
  
 Since the show industry paused, how does Brian manage to go through that?
  
 According to Brian, whatever the challenges are, with regard to dealing with the pandemic, and whatever uncertainty he is grappling with, he doesn't dwell on it. That’s his secret.
  
 Brain’s life in the music industry:
  
 Brain had a very successful career in the music industry. He was 30 years of age and his first child was born when he realized he’s not doing the real thing that he loves.
  
 Listen to this episode to hear Brian’s story about his moment of clarity when he was listening to Counting Crows, and he was like “This isn't for me.”
  
 Brian’s advice for somebody who's feeling stuck during these times:
  
 Trying to find the reason you need to make the shift is very important. Once you know the reason, you will be able to do anything because the reason is strong — the reasons to make the change.
  
 Brian’s health secret:
  
 Brian will be talking about his transformation in his health and will share some of his tips based on his own experience that a lot of people could adapt into their day-to-day life.
  
 Billions:
  
 Get to know the backstory of the show “Billions”. You will learn the deeper reason behind everything, and why did they come up with the idea of creating this show.
  
 Brian’s advice to the anyone who is currently struggling in different aspects of their life:
  
 Remember that you have so much more power and personal agency than you think in your low moments. You can take some steps today — make a plan today.
  
 To move forward, it starts with figuring out what you want.
  
 Take out a piece of paper and tell yourself, you're not going to censor, and just write for a half hour.
  
 Even if you're not a writer, grab a pen, and just write down everything that's going through your mind, and find the thread of where you want to go.
  
 Let that be your North Star and just take a small step in that direction.
  
 If you're really struggling, find somebody to call today and talk through it with them.
  
 Don't suffer and struggle alone.

      <title>Rachel Cruze - How to Better Your Financial Situation Right Now</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/rachel-cruze-how-to-better-your-financial-situation-right-now</link>
      <description>Let’s face it, today there are many people struggling with their finances.
  
 People have lost their jobs, some have been furloughed, some have had their income drop and this pandemic has impacted so many in such a way that has left them feeling fearful, uncertain, anxious and stressed on what’s to come.
  
 So today, I wanted to bring on the show an expert that will help you better your financial situation right now. 
  
 My guest today is Rachel Cruze —  an American author who specializes on the subject of personal finance. Her book Smart Money Smart Kids, co-authored with her father, Dave Ramsey, reached number one on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2014. She’s also the host of the Rachel Cruze show.
  
 We are going to talk about budgeting, family and of course finances. And with the difficult situation happening around us, Rachel will share some of her tips and strategies on how people can effectively manage their money and be financially secure until they live a life that is debt-free!
  
 So if you are one of the many who got affected financially during these difficult times, and you are having a hard time with planning and handling the budget for yourself and your family, this is the perfect episode for you!
  
 What's it like growing up with Dave Ramsey as a Dad?
  
 Rachel’s Mom and Dad, obviously, were really intentional with teaching them how money works, but it was not something that they obsessed over.
  
 They were never given an allowance. They were always on commission. “You work, you get paid. You don't work, you don't get paid.”
  
 What can Rachel say about people falling into this comparison trap with impulsive spending, and how to prevent it?
  
 Social media has become so normalized, like it's a part of our everyday life.
  
 People are on it constantly and the hard thing is mostly what people see are the best parts of everyone's life -- great vacations, great meals that are being cooked. And that's how we've been for almost a decade of seeing these things over and over. And assuming that's how life should be.
  
 And if people are not meeting that, then the avenue of debt is right there for us to walk right down and get it because we think it's normal. 
  
 We have to shake out what is normal, because what's normal is “broke”, we're finding that 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
  
 The Four Walls
  
 Rachel points out that during these tough times, it's most important to take care of the four walls that surround you which includes:
  
  Food
 Shelter
 Utilities
 Transportation
   
 Tune in to this episode and digest what Rachel said about these 4 walls. You will surely gain something that is really helpful and might change your perspective when it comes to handling money!
  
 Rachel will also talk about how she manages to protect her energy and make sure that she’s taking care of herself to be a beacon of light to everybody. 
  
 And just like everyone else, Rachel also faced some adversity in her life! You better listen to this as she tells her story and what she learned from it.
  
 Words of wisdom from Rachel:
  
 “Money is just a tool to create a life that we love. But it is not life. We're not working just to make money.”
  
 “Control what you can control and don't make decisions based out of fear.”

      <itunes:summary>Let’s face it, today there are many people struggling with their finances.
  
 People have lost their jobs, some have been furloughed, some have had their income drop and this pandemic has impacted so many in such a way that has left them feeling fearful, uncertain, anxious and stressed on what’s to come.
  
 So today, I wanted to bring on the show an expert that will help you better your financial situation right now. 
  
 My guest today is Rachel Cruze —  an American author who specializes on the subject of personal finance. Her book Smart Money Smart Kids, co-authored with her father, Dave Ramsey, reached number one on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2014. She’s also the host of the Rachel Cruze show.
  
 We are going to talk about budgeting, family and of course finances. And with the difficult situation happening around us, Rachel will share some of her tips and strategies on how people can effectively manage their money and be financially secure until they live a life that is debt-free!
  
 So if you are one of the many who got affected financially during these difficult times, and you are having a hard time with planning and handling the budget for yourself and your family, this is the perfect episode for you!
  
 What's it like growing up with Dave Ramsey as a Dad?
  
 Rachel’s Mom and Dad, obviously, were really intentional with teaching them how money works, but it was not something that they obsessed over.
  
 They were never given an allowance. They were always on commission. “You work, you get paid. You don't work, you don't get paid.”
  
 What can Rachel say about people falling into this comparison trap with impulsive spending, and how to prevent it?
  
 Social media has become so normalized, like it's a part of our everyday life.
  
 People are on it constantly and the hard thing is mostly what people see are the best parts of everyone's life -- great vacations, great meals that are being cooked. And that's how we've been for almost a decade of seeing these things over and over. And assuming that's how life should be.
  
 And if people are not meeting that, then the avenue of debt is right there for us to walk right down and get it because we think it's normal. 
  
 We have to shake out what is normal, because what's normal is “broke”, we're finding that 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
  
 The Four Walls
  
 Rachel points out that during these tough times, it's most important to take care of the four walls that surround you which includes:
  
  Food
 Shelter
 Utilities
 Transportation
   
 Tune in to this episode and digest what Rachel said about these 4 walls. You will surely gain something that is really helpful and might change your perspective when it comes to handling money!
  
 Rachel will also talk about how she manages to protect her energy and make sure that she’s taking care of herself to be a beacon of light to everybody. 
  
 And just like everyone else, Rachel also faced some adversity in her life! You better listen to this as she tells her story and what she learned from it.
  
 Words of wisdom from Rachel:
  
 “Money is just a tool to create a life that we love. But it is not life. We're not working just to make money.”
  
 “Control what you can control and don't make decisions based out of fear.”

      <title>Rich Roll - Take Small Steps to Change Your Life</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/rich-roll-take-small-steps-to-change-your-life</link>
      <description>Are you are someone who is in pain, stuck in a "rut," struggling with fear or uncertainty?
  
 Congratulations, you are in the right place.  Today's guest says that you MUST use your pain as a motivator to take the small steps to change your life.
  
 Today is a special treat. I have been tracking down this guy to get this interview for quite some time and after hearing who it is you will understand why. Many of you will recognize today's guest from his highly acclaimed podcast. Some of you have may have read his books or just heard of his incredible accomplishments online.
  
 He hosts one of the most popular podcasts out there and his show was the first major podcast to feature my story.  I am so blessed that the tables have turned and I’m now able to pay it forward and have him as a guest on my podcast.
  
 He is also one of the fittest humans alive. Just to give you an idea he completed 5 ironman distance triathlons on 5 different islands of Hawaii in less than a week. He is also a recovery warrior, having over 20 years of sobriety.  Today we get into some parts of his journey that you may not be familiar with.
  
 I am very excited that Rich Roll joins me on the show today. Rich is the host of the highly popular, Rich Roll podcast. His memoir "Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself” was a best seller.  His newest  book "Voicing Change" is available for sale tomorrow and will undoubtedly be equally successful.
  
 In addition to being a podcast host and author, he is also a plant based nutrition advocate and ultra endurance athlete.  He is a beacon of light to people worldwide as an inspiring  example of transformation, courage and healthy living. He is the epitome of using Adversity to his Advantage!
  
 “Change is not only possible, it's freely available to you.”
 -Rich Roll
  
 Get ready to have your mind blown by the incredible wisdom and inspiration he's gained from his personal and professional experiences.
  
 We chat about the following topics and so much more:
  
  Rich’s effective way of dealing with anything he’s struggling with
   
  Why surrendering and letting go of what you can't control is so important to get yourself out of a hole
   
  How staying connected to people that inspire you is helpful for your recovery
   
  How can someone go from being in such a fear-based mindset to living more with faith
   
  Developing such incredible conversational skills despite being shy in younger years is possible
   
  Why is it so important to play the long game when it comes to trying to achieve your goals
   
  How Rich uses his podcast as a healthy outlet and a major act of service
   
  The steps you can take for someone who's struggling
   
  Some of the biggest actions Rich personally takes that gets  his mood up
   
 Rich’s advice for someone who wants to change the way they talk to themselves and create lasting change in their life:
  
  "Change is not only possible, it's freely available." -Rich Roll
   
  He shares that it starts with taking one very small action and building off of that. It's not going to happen overnight.
   
  "If you are in pain, congratulations, that's the best place to start. Use that pain as a motivator, as a lever to actually get you up off the couch. Whether that's literal or figurative and start to manifest in very small nuggets, the life that you would like to lead." -Rich Roll
   
  He talks about beginning with very basic actions. It could just start with simple steps such as writing down the things you are struggling with in your life and jotting down the things you want to give more attention to. Another "first step" example can be putting your shoes on to go for a walk because you have aspirations to run a marathon. 
   
  "It's not about quitting your job overnight and making some broad dramatic statement. It really is about these tiny things that you commit yourself to." -Rich Roll
   
  Rich shares that If you are having trouble staying committed or on track, find an accountability partner that you can trust.
   
  "Ask yourself, how committed are you to change and are you willing to take some uncomfortable actions in order to shift your reality?" -Rich Roll
   
 Rich’s Latest Book: Voicing Change
  
 It's an aesthetic compilation of wisdom that showcases many of the life changing conversations between Rich and many of his guests.
  
 The inspiration for this book is really a desire to canonize some of the wisdom and inspiration that Rich received as a result of hosting his podcast.
  
 It's also a way of honoring the many guests that he had on the show, and also honoring the audience.
  
 He wanted to do it in an aesthetically pleasing way. Which is why they decided to go with a coffee table book format.

      <title>Whitney Miller - How to Face Your Deepest Insecurities to Improve Your Self Esteem</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/whitney-miller-how-to-face-your-deepest-insecurities-to-improve-your-self-esteem</link>
      <description> 
 My guest today is the former Miss United States and sports anchor, Whitney Miller. She has found her true calling helping individuals and couples as a love, sex and relationship coach. Her experiential journey to self-mastery started 5 years ago with her well publicized open relationship with an ex fiance.
  
 Whitney has since joined forces with some of the leading scientists and researchers in the field, and now hosts talks and workshops around the world. She believes that regardless of your relationship construct, monogamous or open, there are always ways to create more love, better sex, and healthier, happier relationships.
  
 If you are someone who struggles dealing with your personal insecurities, and you’re tired of  hearing people tell you what to do with your life, then you should listen to this episode. Whitney and I will be talking about her incredible backstory, having a strong mindset and how to overcome you deepest insecurities to improve your self confidence and become your best self.
  
 Whitney’s Backstory:
  
 Whitney was naturally gifted. She started doing gymnastics and soccer by the time she was four. That's the only thing that she knew and she loved competing. She loves trying new things and doing pretty well at it.
  
 Pageantry was a complete out of the box for Whitney because growing up, she used to be a tomboy playing sports with the boys in the neighborhood and keeping up with her brothers.
  
 She was at the age of 15 when she started competing in a pageant. On that same day, she also had a surfing contest. She showed up to rehearsals, all sunburned, clearly not taking the pageant seriously at all. But she went into it and was just trying to see what it was like. And that’s what her mindset was.
  
 Her parents always told her, “Whitney always does what she wants to do, like we can tell her to do one thing, but she's going to try to figure it out on her own.”
  
 Whitney’s strong mindset
  
 She ended up winning the pageant and that's when she started to understand the pageant industry. 
  
 When I'm 15 years old, she had a very naturally athletic body, which is great for sports, but not great for pageants, particularly back then.
  
 According to Whitney, 15 or 16 years ago, having abs and arms wasn't really considered sexy or feminine on a woman. And so I was constantly told, “You need to be softer. You need to get rid of some of your muscle. You need to not work out so much.”
  
 Her main secret is that she wouldn't let anyone say what she should do, or how she should be.  She’s going t o just be authentically herself. 
  
 Again, she ended up winning Miss Texas, and winning the swimsuit, which is really interesting, because she still had my very athletic body. So she won swimsuit, went to Miss Texas. And when she went to Miss United States, she kept the same mindset.
  
 How Whitney handles her insecurities:
  
 For Whitney, people just need to understand that insecurities are just part of our lives. And insecurities exist to teach us. 
  
 Whitney always tries to see how she can transform her insecurity into something that can be one of her greatest teachers, that can actually lead to a life that she really wants to live.
  
 The Momentum
  
 We make a choice and we get a little bit more momentum. We keep going until we start to just feel that way and we're gonna mess up. We're human, we're not always going to be perfect and stay on that course.
  
 By gaining that momentum, we gain confidence, because we start to trust ourselves that we're making the right decisions for ourselves.

      <title>David Nurse - The Secrets to Cultivating True Confidence</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/david-nurse-the-secrets-to-cultivating-true-confidence</link>
      <description>If you are self-conscious and struggling on how to be more confident with yourself, this is a MUST LISTEN!
  
 My guest today is none other than David Nurse — an NBA life and optimization coach, future bestselling author, and worldwide motivational speaker. 
  
 As a former professional basketball player (both international and domestic) and a coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has personally helped over 150 NBA players with their personal and professional development both on and off the court.
  
 In this episode, we will be talking about his so-called 7 Steps to Unshakable Confidence.
  
 If you are self-conscious and struggling on how to be more confident with yourself, this is a MUST LISTEN! You will learn a lot from David as he gives tips and pieces of advice not only to achieve confidence, but to become optimistic as well!
  
 The Pivotal Moment in David's life:
  
 David grew up in the middle of cornfields of Iowa. He always wanted to play in the NBA. That was his whole dream. His whole mission, everything he did on a daily basis was poured into how he could play in the NBA.
  
 Now, he never dunk a basketball once. He can't even touch the rim of 6'2", because he is not very athletic.
  
 College basketball basically grinded David's way to achieve his dream. He played professionally over in Europe. Fast forward, he gets cut from that team.
  
 Not only are all his hopes and dreams and everything that he put into his life with no backup plan, everything was taken away from him.
  
 He came home and his mom told him something he never heard before that really stuck him. His mom said, "David, when one door closes, four open in an entire beachfront patio overlooking the ocean."
  
 That's when it triggered him. He realized that everything he's been doing to play in the NBA has actually been for him to learn how to help others -- how to coach.
  
 The pivot that everything David put into it was to actually coach. He made that decision to become a coach in the NBA.
  
 Tips from David to become optimistic:
  
 - Know that failure is not just a way that we can learn and grow. It is the only way to learn and grow. 
 - Failure is a big time blessing because not only are we learning and growing, but it's also able to teach someone to help somebody else along their journey, who goes through the same exact thing that we are struggling with right now in our life.
 - Know that God's timing always ends up being so much better than our own timing.
 - Take 1% steps daily. 
  
 David's 7 Steps to Unshakable Confidence:
 - Confidence through Comparison
 - Confidence through Focusing on Your Strength
 - Confidence through Redefining Vocabulary
 - Confidence through Creating Your Own Personal Highlight Reel
 - Confidence through Pouring Into Others
 - Confidence through Your Cue Word
 - Confidence through Preparation — The Relentless Consistency
  
 Tune in to this episode to know what those steps mean, so that you will also be able to achieve that unshakable confidence within you!

        <![CDATA[<p>If you are self-conscious and struggling on how to be more confident with yourself, this is a MUST LISTEN!</p> <p> </p> <p>My guest today is none other than David Nurse — an NBA life and optimization coach, future bestselling author, and worldwide motivational speaker. </p> <p> </p> <p>As a former professional basketball player (both international and domestic) and a coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has personally helped over 150 NBA players with their personal and professional development both on and off the court.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode, we will be talking about his so-called 7 Steps to Unshakable Confidence.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you are self-conscious and struggling on how to be more confident with yourself, this is a MUST LISTEN! You will learn a lot from David as he gives tips and pieces of advice not only to achieve confidence, but to become optimistic as well!</p> <p> </p> <p>The Pivotal Moment in David's life:</p> <p> </p> <p>David grew up in the middle of cornfields of Iowa. He always wanted to play in the NBA. That was his whole dream. His whole mission, everything he did on a daily basis was poured into how he could play in the NBA.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now, he never dunk a basketball once. He can't even touch the rim of 6'2", because he is not very athletic.</p> <p> </p> <p>College basketball basically grinded David's way to achieve his dream. He played professionally over in Europe. Fast forward, he gets cut from that team.</p> <p> </p> <p>Not only are all his hopes and dreams and everything that he put into his life with no backup plan, everything was taken away from him.</p> <p> </p> <p>He came home and his mom told him something he never heard before that really stuck him. His mom said, "David, when one door closes, four open in an entire beachfront patio overlooking the ocean."</p> <p> </p> <p>That's when it triggered him. He realized that everything he's been doing to play in the NBA has actually been for him to learn how to help others -- how to coach.</p> <p> </p> <p>The pivot that everything David put into it was to actually coach. He made that decision to become a coach in the NBA.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tips from David to become optimistic:</p> <p> </p> <p>- Know that failure is not just a way that we can learn and grow. It is the only way to learn and grow. </p> <p>- Failure is a big time blessing because not only are we learning and growing, but it's also able to teach someone to help somebody else along their journey, who goes through the same exact thing that we are struggling with right now in our life.</p> <p>- Know that God's timing always ends up being so much better than our own timing.</p> <p>- Take 1% steps daily. </p> <p> </p> <p>David's 7 Steps to Unshakable Confidence:</p> <p>- Confidence through Comparison</p> <p>- Confidence through Focusing on Your Strength</p> <p>- Confidence through Redefining Vocabulary</p> <p>- Confidence through Creating Your Own Personal Highlight Reel</p> <p>- Confidence through Pouring Into Others</p> <p>- Confidence through Your Cue Word</p> <p>- Confidence through Preparation — The Relentless Consistency</p> <p> </p> <p>Tune in to this episode to know what those steps mean, so that you will also be able to achieve that unshakable confidence within you!</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with David:</p> <p> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/davidnursenba">www.instagram.com/davidnursenba</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/2TKFjuo">Pivot and Go</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Private Facebook Group:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188">https://www.facebook.com/groups/690686891674188</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Golden Superfood Bliss:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Jenn Kennedy - Breaking Unhealthy Generational Patterns and Turning it into Massive Impact</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jenn-kennedy-breaking-unhealthy-generational-patterns-and-turning-it-into-massive-impact</link>
      <description>In this episode, my guest and I are going to talk not only about business and entrepreneurship, but also about breaking unhealthy generational patterns and creating massive success. This will make people realize that just because you are born into unhealthy or traumatic family dynamics, it doesn't have to be that moving forward. Once you break the pattern and commit to working on yourself, great things can happen. This includes not only making  a lot of money, but changing a lot of lives along the way. 
  
 My guest today is none other than The Jenn Kennedy — an impact-driven business mentor and a coach. She is the founder of Impact to Income Academy and she helps people absolutely crush and scale their business. 
  
 Jenn’s Back Story:
  
 Jenn was just 5 years old when her parents got divorced. That time, she doesn’t even know what “divorce” means. All she knew was everybody is sad. Her mom was depressed, and her dad wasn’t around.
  
 She realized as the oldest daughter of their family that it was going to very quickly be her job to just make sure that everyone's happy. She took on the role of her family to be the light and just make sure that no one is sad.
  
 If she was mad or frustrated, it was just buried deeper and deeper because her parents were both very stubborn in their alcoholism tendencies and they told her to never ask for help, because they can do anything by themselves and they just act like everything's okay.
  
 That message and mentality really is what caused Jenn’s eating disorder. It's what caused her to try drugs when she was in college. It's what caused her to never think that she was good enough, skinny enough, smart enough, no matter how hard she worked. 
  
 It was the reason why she was looking for approval, and looking for her self worth in every single human in her life besides herself.
  
 After she overcame that eating disorder, she realized how many women were struggling with the same things she was struggling with, because she didn't speak about anything. She realized that women were still struggling and were not living in their power, because they were afraid that their physical bodies weren't good enough for that. That's when Jenn started her first business, which was nutrition coaching. And that's the reason why she found the passion in helping women uncover their power and stand in their confidence as a woman in their body.
   
 Jenn’s secret to effectively deal with all the circumstances that the world is going through right now:
 Jenn always takes care of herself first. As a leader, she knows that she has to take care of herself first. And that means her energy, mind, body, soul, and everything.
  
 The first thing that she’s doing is she’s making sure that she is still showing up, most importantly, for herself.
  
 She is educating herself, trying to understand, and learning to lead like an imperfect person. She doesn't know what's right. She doesn't know what's wrong, but she is leading anyway. And so she’s just leading, knowing she’s going to make mistakes, knowing that she has flaws, but she’s showing up anyway, because that's what's near and dear to her heart.
  
 In this episode, Jenn will be answering these questions:
  
  How did Jenn manage to leave her teaching career to become a full-time entrepreneur
   
  How well did Jenn handle all the judgements thrown to her by the people around her
   
  How Jenn and her husband made their relationship work better despite all the difficulties they faced while they try to grow individually
   
  What are Jenn’s main goal in building her own business
   
 Words of wisdom from Jenn:
  
 “The only person who should be in charge of yourself, is yourself.”
  
   “If I can do it, anyone can do it.”
  
 “Every single human is born with empathy.”
  
 “Comparing yourself to others can be really healthy.”

      <title>Bedros Keuilian - Why Adversity is Your Biggest Asset</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/bedros-keuilian-why-adversity-is-your-biggest-asset</link>
      <description>My guest today is Bedros Keuilian - a serial entrepreneur with multi-million dollar generating businesses in franchising, software, digital marketing, and business consulting.
  
 Bedros is the founder and CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp three times listed on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 500 fastest growing franchises in the world. He is also known as the hidden genius behind many of the top businesses, entrepreneurs and thought leaders. His list of clients include New York Times best-selling authors, celebrities, NFL athletes, Navy SEALS and massive social influencers who turn to him when they want to create highly profitable brands and businesses
  
 In this episode, we will be talking about his life experiences that can absolutely help lots of people, especially those who have gone through tough times and are not certain about what their future holds. Bedros will make us realize that everything happens for a reason, and we can reach our goals and dreams if we just attract positivity, and let it enter our lives.
  
 Bedros’ Backstory
 Bedros is a foreigner and was an immigrant to the United States. He came from a communist country, Armenia, which at the time was under Soviet rule. His dad was a member of the Communist country. But he was a capitalist and he was the most westernized communist on the planet.
  
 Bedros and his family escaped the Soviet Union into Italy. When they got to Italy, they went to the American console and it took about 10 days for them to get all of their paperwork right, and legally enter the United States. The reason was his dad had to literally say, “Look, I'm a member of the Communist Party. I didn't want to be a member, but I had no choice. whatever information you want about communism, I'll gladly share it with you guys.” And so they entered as political refugees. Bedros was 6 years old that time.
  
 When his family was still living in Armenia, they had a very good and comfortable life. But when they went to the United State, they were living in section eight housing, he’s getting picked on and bullied by the neighborhood kids, and his family was eating out of dumpsters that they find in the back of grocery stores where people throw away food. His dad worked at a gas station pumping gas at a pizzeria wiping tables down and delivering newspapers to in the morning.
  
 Now, Bedros is a 46-year-old man and CEO Fit Body Boot Camp, an international franchise and software company supplement company and coaching programs and he has coached Navy Seals and Super Bowl winning NFL athletes and some of the top thought leaders that everyone's probably following have been his clients.
  
 Like that adversity that he dealt with as a kid was literally the foundation of which how he built myself and how he coaches his coaching clients.
  
 According to Bedros, most things can be solved if you have enough adversity tolerance in your life, and that's literally the foundation of his coaching program.
  
 The Start of the Fit Body Boot Camp
 Bedros became a personal trainer because he was a fat kid. Going through elementary, junior and  senior year of high school, he decided to work out and get in shape because he wanted to go to prom.
  
 He lost 30 pounds senior year of high school I've got more confidence.
  
 The way his body changed, he knew that this is what he wants to do for a living. He wants to be a personal trainer. And so he worked in a big box gym as a personal trainer, but didn't know how to sell himself. He also worked as a fry cook at Disneyland and as a bouncer at a bar.
  
 But one day one of his personal training clients was like, “Dude, you can do this on your own. Like you can have your own gym.” That guy, Jim, started to mentor Bedros, and that was his first exposure to mentors.
  
 Jim saw something in Bedros, and that’s how he ended up starting Fit Body Boot Camp after a series of owning his own gyms, selling them coaching and consulting the personal training industry.
  
 Bedros’ life experiences:
 When Bedros was 37 years old, he felt like he was having a heart attack. In that moment, all he could think about was who's going to walk Chloe down the aisle, his daughter when she's older, and gets married, who's going to teach his son Andrew to be a modern-day knight, and he made a promise to his wife that he would protect her, and so who's going to be there to protect her when he’s gone?
  
 Listen to this episode to know what really happened to Bedros and how he survived this trying times of his life!
  
 Lessons and words of wisdom from Bedros:
          Positive mental attitude is mandatory.
         Before we physically die, we tend to mentally die first.
         Let's always focus on what we can focus on, and only go down that path.
  “We have one of two shirts we can put on… But one shirt says, ‘What can you do for me today?’ and the other shirt says, ‘How can I serve you today?’ You put on the shirt that says, ‘How can I serve you today?’ You're going to have more things work out in your favor, because there's this universal law that seems to reward people who show up by way of service versus by way of greed.”

      <itunes:summary>My guest today is Bedros Keuilian - a serial entrepreneur with multi-million dollar generating businesses in franchising, software, digital marketing, and business consulting.
  
 Bedros is the founder and CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp three times listed on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 500 fastest growing franchises in the world. He is also known as the hidden genius behind many of the top businesses, entrepreneurs and thought leaders. His list of clients include New York Times best-selling authors, celebrities, NFL athletes, Navy SEALS and massive social influencers who turn to him when they want to create highly profitable brands and businesses
  
 In this episode, we will be talking about his life experiences that can absolutely help lots of people, especially those who have gone through tough times and are not certain about what their future holds. Bedros will make us realize that everything happens for a reason, and we can reach our goals and dreams if we just attract positivity, and let it enter our lives.
  
 Bedros’ Backstory
 Bedros is a foreigner and was an immigrant to the United States. He came from a communist country, Armenia, which at the time was under Soviet rule. His dad was a member of the Communist country. But he was a capitalist and he was the most westernized communist on the planet.
  
 Bedros and his family escaped the Soviet Union into Italy. When they got to Italy, they went to the American console and it took about 10 days for them to get all of their paperwork right, and legally enter the United States. The reason was his dad had to literally say, “Look, I'm a member of the Communist Party. I didn't want to be a member, but I had no choice. whatever information you want about communism, I'll gladly share it with you guys.” And so they entered as political refugees. Bedros was 6 years old that time.
  
 When his family was still living in Armenia, they had a very good and comfortable life. But when they went to the United State, they were living in section eight housing, he’s getting picked on and bullied by the neighborhood kids, and his family was eating out of dumpsters that they find in the back of grocery stores where people throw away food. His dad worked at a gas station pumping gas at a pizzeria wiping tables down and delivering newspapers to in the morning.
  
 Now, Bedros is a 46-year-old man and CEO Fit Body Boot Camp, an international franchise and software company supplement company and coaching programs and he has coached Navy Seals and Super Bowl winning NFL athletes and some of the top thought leaders that everyone's probably following have been his clients.
  
 Like that adversity that he dealt with as a kid was literally the foundation of which how he built myself and how he coaches his coaching clients.
  
 According to Bedros, most things can be solved if you have enough adversity tolerance in your life, and that's literally the foundation of his coaching program.
  
 The Start of the Fit Body Boot Camp
 Bedros became a personal trainer because he was a fat kid. Going through elementary, junior and  senior year of high school, he decided to work out and get in shape because he wanted to go to prom.
  
 He lost 30 pounds senior year of high school I've got more confidence.
  
 The way his body changed, he knew that this is what he wants to do for a living. He wants to be a personal trainer. And so he worked in a big box gym as a personal trainer, but didn't know how to sell himself. He also worked as a fry cook at Disneyland and as a bouncer at a bar.
  
 But one day one of his personal training clients was like, “Dude, you can do this on your own. Like you can have your own gym.” That guy, Jim, started to mentor Bedros, and that was his first exposure to mentors.
  
 Jim saw something in Bedros, and that’s how he ended up starting Fit Body Boot Camp after a series of owning his own gyms, selling them coaching and consulting the personal training industry.
  
 Bedros’ life experiences:
 When Bedros was 37 years old, he felt like he was having a heart attack. In that moment, all he could think about was who's going to walk Chloe down the aisle, his daughter when she's older, and gets married, who's going to teach his son Andrew to be a modern-day knight, and he made a promise to his wife that he would protect her, and so who's going to be there to protect her when he’s gone?
  
 Listen to this episode to know what really happened to Bedros and how he survived this trying times of his life!
  
 Lessons and words of wisdom from Bedros:
          Positive mental attitude is mandatory.
         Before we physically die, we tend to mentally die first.
         Let's always focus on what we can focus on, and only go down that path.
  “We have one of two shirts we can put on… But one shirt says, ‘What can you do for me today?’ and the other shirt says, ‘How can I serve you today?’ You put on the shirt that says, ‘How can I serve you today?’ You're going to have more things work out in your favor, because there's this universal law that seems to reward people who show up by way of service versus by way of greed.”

      <title>Larry Indiviglia - The Shocking Insights From Experiencing Massive Trauma</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/larry-indiviglia-the-shocking-insights-from-experiencing-massive-heartbreak</link>
      <description>Losing a loved one due to suicide is really tough. You will always ask yourself why you let that happen, and you will always tell yourself that you should have done something to prevent that from happening.
  
 If you have been following me for sometime, you know that mentors have been so meaningful in my own transformation and that has trickled down into being able to help others. Some of them have made big names for themselves and then there are a few “unsung heroes” that aren’t as reputable.
  
 One that many of you know have come to know is my cellmate, another is today’s guest Larry Indiviglia. Larry has been a mentor and coach of mine for nearly a decade and been instrumental in my success and transformation and frankly this podcast wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for him. He and I met through our mutual friend Todd Durkin at his mentorship and have developed a transformative professional and personal relationship since.
  
 Larry is also a retired Naval Officer, he served 26 years in the Navy and has been a fitness professional for 32 years.
  
 You are really going to appreciate hearing about his life experience and how he used negative situations and turned them into something positive and meaningful.
  
 His “Yoda like” wisdom coupled with his grit is remarkable and has been able touch the lives of so many. His unmatched ability to empathize and inspire others comes from his own personal journey of overcoming massive adversity.
  
 He lost his sister to a car accident that he was the one driving the car and lost his brother to suicide. He broke his neck, survived colon cancer, and lost the love of his life dying on a deathbed next to him... But he is still able to give back, write an amazing book, and help people change the world. 
  
 He will make everyone realize that it’s okay for someone to not think about others and focus on themselves first. Not only will it save you from all the burden that was thrown at you, but can also be the reason for you to do great things!
  
 Larry’s backstory:Back in 1973, Larry went to Naval Academy at the age of 17. It was great for him because he made lots of friends in different unions. He spent his four years there and worked real hard. It was his graduation week -- a very special time for all the families. He was driving his sister and aunt to the airport, but unfortunately, they didn’t make it. They had a really bad car accident where his sister died.
  
 That was his first day as an ensign in the Navy, and there he was lying in Walter Reed Hospital. Fortunately, he only got some bruises and a little concussion but he survived.
  
 Four days later, Larry was at a funeral and that was a really tough time for him. But he knew that he just needed to sit down there and move forward. His sister’s loss and aunt's loss gave him the inspiration to then get back on track and do something special with his life.
  
 Larry’s Unshaken Faith:
  
 Larry is a Christian and he believes that God has a plan — that Christ has a plan for all of us. After they buried his sister, his dad said, “Larry, go and live your life. God has saved you for a reason. You don't have to prove anything. Just go out there and be you, and live your life. You don't have to do anything especially for Barbara, and Teresa. You don't have to do anything special.”
 The best thing for him was to get out of that environment. If he had to stay home and wallow around if he got seriously injured, that would have been a lot tougher for him. 
 He didn't have time to process it super intently. He was able to put it behind him and then move forward because he had a job to do.
  
 In four years on that ship, Larry won two medals. He didn't necessarily do it for anybody. He just did what he felt he had to do.
  
 Larry didn't have time to wallow in it. It might sound selfish, but that really helped him and his faith.
  
 From being in the Navy to being into fitness:
  
 Larry always wanted to get into the fitness word. He used to follow bodybuilding when he was in high school. You have got to listen to this episode to know more about Larry’s interesting journey and how he ended up having his own fitness center in Coronado!
  
 Larry Indiviglia and Todd Durkin
  
 Larry truly believes that it's one of the plans sometimes God has for our lives. He brings people into our life for a reason. And he met Todd for a reason.
  
 Their bond is really interesting yet inspiring because through the last 20+ years, Larry and Todd made a massive impact in the world together.
  
 If you are curious about how and when they met, you will know the history in this episode, so tune in!
  
 Larry’s pieces of advice for anyone who lost a loved one and going through tough times:
  
  Accept a realization that you can't save someone
 You will get clarity when adversity strikes.
 If you have faith, go back to your faith and thank God for the lesson he has given you in that process, and that you're still here and able to continue your journey.

If he had to stay home and wallow around if he got seriously injured, that would have been a lot tougher for him. </p> <p>He didn't have time to process it super intently. He was able to put it behind him and then move forward because he had a job to do.</p> <p> </p> <p>In four years on that ship, Larry won two medals. He didn't necessarily do it for anybody. He just did what he felt he had to do.</p> <p> </p> <p>Larry didn't have time to wallow in it. It might sound selfish, but that really helped him and his faith.</p> <p> </p> <p>From being in the Navy to being into fitness:</p> <p> </p> <p>Larry always wanted to get into the fitness word.

      <title>Chris Gronkowski - Rediscovering Your Identity After Shattered Dreams</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/chris-gronkowski-rediscovering-your-identity-after-shattered-dreams</link>
      <description>A lot of people think that their current situation will be a lifelong one -- may it be about their struggles, financial status, and even in their career. Sometimes people think that they are imprisoned by what/where they are right now. They tend to think that there is no possible way to shift from doing what they used to do for a living, to doing what they really are passionate about.
  
 Today’s guest will make us realize that change is okay, and how doing what we really love can change our lives for the better. We just have to embrace changes.
 My guest is Chris Gronkowski -- the owner and inventor of the Ice Shaker. He first made a career for himself as a professional football player and joined the NFL in 2010 after being signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a fullback. During his years in the NFL, Gronkowski also played for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. In 2016, he decided to put his entrepreneurial skills to the test when he set out to create a protein shaker bottle that would alleviate many of the issues he and other avid athletes experience with standard protein shakers.
  
 Chris Gronkowski Backstory
  
 Chris has 4 brothers and they all play pro-sports. His eldest brother plays baseball. They did not come from a football family. They were just athletes because their parents can’t handle them being inside the house all day, because it will be like they will take five boys, they leave them inside a house, and all they will do is fight. It will be just all brawls non-stop. So Chris and his brothers put all their energy into sports. And that's how that all came about.
  
 His goal really wasn't to make it to the NFL, and he actually thought he had zero chance. All he gets told every single year by his teachers and by everyone is, “Hey, this is a dream. Very few people make it. It's one in a million. Get your grades because it's probably not happening for you.”
  
 Being told that everyday, Chris’ goal was just to get to college, and get the best education possible. But he was lucky enough to get a last minute scholarship offer to the University of Maryland and he got to college for free at division one. Then along the way, he obviously put his all into athletics. And since he has his brother on his team, it became a competition between brothers. And that just led them to pushing each other harder and harder. It led to an opportunity where scouts might have been coming in to see his brother, Rob, but they were also seeing him at the same time.
  
 What is it like to play in the NFL?
  
 According to Chris, playing in the NFL is not just a game. It's a job. A hard and super stressful job.
  
 In college, you could pretty much hold up a sign. If you see the signs on the sideline like, “What the hell does that mean?” And it actually tells you exactly what you’re doing. 
  
 In the NFL, it's definitely not like college. You walk up to the line, you have a quarterback, like a Brady - Peyton Manning, he's calling out one word on the line, and in a split second, you have to know exactly what you're doing. So you have to be a pretty smart and intelligent person. And then also with that, you'll play changes as “defend changes.”
  
 Chris’ transition from being in the NFL to becoming an entrepreneur
  
 It was almost a blessing in disguise when Chris got hurt in his fourth year. He took an injury settlement, because once you get hurt in a camp, and you're not a superstar player, you're pretty much “damaged goods” at that time. They'll release you and they'll pay you out as long as they think you're going to be hurt. And so they paid Chris for three games.
  
 So it was an easy, easy transition for Chris because his wife also started a business in his third year. She started hand painting wine glasses, and he saw it as if this little hobby that's going nowhere. But pretty soon they started to sell. They started selling. She had to find a way to scale up and she started scaling up and at that time, while Chris ended his first contract with the Broncos.
  
 Chris had this little break and he started looking into the business and realized that it was a huge opportunity. It was personalized gifts and it was super expensive. It was a long turnaround time. And they had a way to do it fast most of the time, same day and do it for a lot cheaper just through our mind and through the etsy platform and their own website. So he started pouring money into it, putting the NFL money into commercial grade laser engravers and, and other machines to personalize gifts and soon enough you know it took off.
 He was there for a couple months, he got hurt and he had this to fall back on so it wasn't too hard and he just poured everything into it. So Chris went from everything in football, to the blog days just right over to business and putting the long hours in which was his wife's business and did that for about five years until he thought of the idea for ice shaker which he eventually got on to to shark tank and going into four years.
  
 What are some things that Chris did to develop an unbeatable worth work ethic?
  
 The work ethic really was just instilled with them from their parents. His dad was an entrepreneur himself, he's worked two jobs for six years to get his business off the ground. Now, he is the second largest distributor of fitness equipment in the US. So Chris and his brothers watched their dad and their mom, who probably had more than a full time job raising the five of them. Every day, their mom had a ridiculous calendar with 10 to 12 different events that she had to drive them to get them ready for. 
  
 Everything had to be earned. And that's what their parents instilled in them.
  
 “If you want something awesome, find a way to get it.” - Chris Gronkowski
  
 The Ice Shaker
  
 It's the classic shaker bottle right that people love with easy open pop top and an easy to hold handle. They put measurement markings inside of it. It’s made of a kitchen grade insulated stainless steel, so it's not going to absorb the odor like the plastic bottle does, it's actually made of the same material that a kitchen fork would be made of. It is insulated so it will keep the drink hot or cold for an extended period of time. Whereas if you filled it with just ice, it would last over 30 hours before it all melted.Learn more about the Ice Shaker and what separates it from the traditional blender bottle! They have put something in it that’s really interesting!You will also hear the story behind how Chris got into the Shark Tank. It was epic and it’s another proof that everything happens for a reason, and it happens in its own time!
  
 Chris Gronkowski as an entrepreneur
  
 Just like the other entrepreneurs, Chris faced challenges too when he was just starting his business. He was able to get through those difficult times and in this episode, he will share with us how he handled everything. 
  
 So listen to this episode and learn some lessons from Chris that are all based on his own experiences!CONNECT WITH CHRIS

      <description>Gabby Reece: Being of service is the ultimate sign of strength.
  
 My guest today is none other than Gabby Reece -- not only a volleyball legend, but an inspirational leader, host of the Gabby Reece show, author and entrepreneur. But, most importantly she’s a mom, a wife and an incredible human. In this episode, she will be sharing lots of inspiring experience-based stories about her life as an athlete, wife, mother, and entrepreneur.
  
 Tune in to this episode and take notes of all the words of wisdom that Gabby will be sharing with us!
  
 Gabby Reece’s Backstory:
 Gabby’s father passed when she was very young. And when she was a junior in high school at the age of 15, she was living in the Virgin Islands. 
  
 She thinks she was going nowhere, because it didn't occur to her. She didn't have people around her who were like, “Go to college.” and all those things. It was like people were having a good time. 
  
 Her  mother pulled her out of that situation and put her into St. Petersburg, Florida, because she was six foot three. And she walked into a very small school, and people automatically were like, “Oh, you're gonna play sports.” Because if you were worth your weight at all in sports, in that community, you would have gone to a bigger school to try to get attention. 
  
 And so she got involved. She had messed around a little bit with volleyball but really got involved with volleyball and basketball.
  
 Her basketball coach was a great mentor. There were a few families in that environment who saw that Gabby was navigating a couple things as far as like her home situation, and people sort of said, “We'll help this kid a little bit.”
  
 Even in her senior year, weirdly, she lived with the principal and his wife and their two small children because her mom was not going back to that school. And that was her senior year and she sort of built some stability and he was like, “No send, Gabby.” And when she got put into the school which was funny for her, because it's a Christian school, and she feels like she was the only “unsaved person.”
  
 Gabby thinks she’s by nature and totally, she’s probably inside pretty defiant in a different kind of way. So then she got offers to play basketball and volleyball in college, and she has chosen Florida State. And then her coach, Dr. Cecile Ron ended up having a huge impact on her life. 
  
 How did sports save Gabby’s life?
 Gabby went from the pros back into work life. Her strategic self looked at continuing in volleyball, and it was tough. It was such a small sport, but it’s a community on purpose, contribution to the tribe, and level of self discipline -- these things are very grounding. 
  
 As for Gabby, when someone put in an honest day's work, whatever that work is, she thinks it empowers a person in a way, even though it's challenging and hard, and sometimes they really don't want to do it reinforces their mettle, as a person, their armor, their ability to also believe in themselves that, “I may not know a lot, and I might be uncomfortable, and I'm unsure. But at least I have the ability to work to learn something new.”
  
 Gabby’s successful married life with her husband, Laird:
 When Gabby was working, she was always doing other things. And one of those was doing TV. She had a show on MTV sports. But that brought her to another show that she hosted, The Extremists. And then she met Laird, her husband on that show. And now, they’re married for 23 years.
  
 Gabby and her husband are not easy people. They’re both pretty intense. 
  
 For Gabby, a person can't dictate to their partner on how to do something. Both her and Laird are highly self governed. They’re interested in trying to really show up as flawed as it is. And if they have a real issue, the good thing is that Laird certainly is a clear deck guy. Every day, he's the one who taught Gabby about helpful conflict, because before, Gabby thought that when you love someone, you just kind of don't say anything. 
  
 Gabby is not looking for Laird to make her fulfilled or happy. And what she says to him is like, “I can't make you happy, but I could make your life better.”
  
 Gabby thinks that we live in a time where people are really afraid to be of service to one another. And what she knows to be true, is that being of service is the ultimate sign of strength. It is not, in fact, a weakness.
  
 Gabby and Laird’s parenting styles:
 She started as a step parent, her oldest daughter was very young, four or five months old, when she met Laird, they've co-parented the whole time with her than eight years into their relationship. They had their second daughter, who's now almost 17, and then her youngest daughter is now 12.
  
 She was like, “Okay, if I'm, if I create a really safe and clean and healthy, peaceful home, I'm gonna, it's going to take care of everything.” And then what she realized is that every kid is different. And they will have to go through things that their parents didn't want them to have to go through. And then they become teenagers, and they start to talk to their parents about their parenting skills, or their parenting techniques.
  
 But for Gabby, if someone can pay attention as a parent, and really not take it personal and really try to hear what their kids are saying, there's an opportunity for the parents to grow in a way that they wouldn't have had.
  
 Techniques… they change all the time.
  
 Tune in to this episode about Gabby and her husband’s other parenting techniques!
  
 Gabby as an entrepreneur:
 Losing is as much like if you're an entrepreneur, you probably lose more often than you win. Sometimes you get one win that's bigger than 20 losses. 
  
 Being clear, being systematic, being organized, and you're thinking about your approach, taking criticisms constructive criticisms about what you're not doing well, and also, even sometimes knowing when to pull the plug, and staying realistic. 
  
 Sometimes people get too emotional about something when they're entrepreneurs. 
  
 Learning to keep the space between you and what you're doing is really important. So you want to have the passion to get up each day to do it. 
  
 The XPT:
 XPTis just kind of some lifestyle habits that Gabby and Laird were doing and some of it is nothing new. The notion is to breathe, move, and recover. Breathing is obviously, really important to know how to do it right. And Gabby always loved that. It's free and you can do it anywhere. 
  
 Know more about XPT as Gabby shares how they do it and how they help people to become the most versatile and resilient human being possible.

      <title>Lauren Salaun - Confessions of a Recovering Workaholic (And How to Heal from it)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/lauren-salaun-confessions-of-a-recovering-workaholic-and-how-to-heal-from-it</link>
      <description>Have you been overworking without getting what you think you deserve? Or are you not sure if you’re worthy of being known in the industry that you’re in? Then this episode is a must-listen! You will surely get you more inspired and motivated as my guest shares her experience from working 60-80 hours a week to having her own marketing agency where she helps other entrepreneurs get their message out there and show off what they’ve got!
 My guest today is Lauren Salaun — a PR and marketing consultant, media personality, speaker, and entrepreneur. She is a former health coach, personal trainer, fitness model and competitor.
  
 A lifelong athlete, Lauren spent the bulk of her career in public relations, crisis communications, and marketing before launching a health and fitness coaching business in 2015. While helping people live their healthiest lives and dipping her toes into the world of fitness competitions, Lauren continued her PR and social media consulting and coaching, supporting entrepreneurs in the health, wellness, lifestyle, and personal development industries in building their influence online and monetizing their social media. Lauren has extensive experience in public relations, marketing, and media, from crisis communications to running her own social media management company, being an on-air podcast personality, red-carpet host, and influencer, and of course today, running her own PR agency and being a sought-after speaker on public relations, influencer marketing, and visibility.
  
 In 2019, Lauren launched influence+IMPACT ["Influence And Impact"], a PR and influencer marketing agency, where she helps entrepreneurs elevate their visibility, strengthen their authority in their industry, and share their message on a global level so they can increase their income and make even more of an impact.
  
 A bit of Lauren Salaun’s story:
  
 Growing up, Lauren has always been very active. She has wonderful parents who raised her and her siblings so well. She also grew up with very high expectations from her parents and in her family, and they expect her to get straight A's, do all the sports, do music, do everything.
 Her parents argued a lot when she was growing up, and that’s one of the reasons why she wanted to give her best at everything -- to not add stress to the situation in their home.
  
 She double-majored in college, did a ton of singing in school after deciding not to play soccer. 
  
 In her entire life, she was like, “You're gonna do all the things, and the goal is to be the best at all the things.” And that creates a recipe for burnout going nonstop.
  
 Her last job that she was at before becoming an entrepreneur and working for myself, was at a PR agency -- working like 60 to 80 hours a week, which gave her exhausting tons of burnouts.
  
 Why did Lauren leave her last job?
  
 She left simply because that wasn’t her passion, although she knows that she’s doing an important job because she works at a hospital industry, it’s just not really where her interests are.
  
 Also, Lauren wanted to have more freedom and flexibility over her schedule and how she works when she works.
  
 She wants to fit her work around her life rather than life around her work.
  
 What are some steps Lauren took to get herself to where she is today?
  
 Lauren is starting to have a morning routine -- a morning ritual that includes meditation, gratitudes, visualization, and all that “woo woo” stuff, that she never thought she would actually need.
  
 She knew that it was so important to start her day grounded, and not to start her day opening up emails, opening up social media, and getting right into work mode. She is carving out 5 to 10 minutes to say, “No, learn your boundaries. Your mental health should come first.” And  that was a really powerful step for her.
  
 And three years ago, she did a really intensive leadership development and emotional intelligence program in a mastermind where they did some professional development stuff, which she always loved. But since she is going out on her own and becoming an entrepreneur, she has always found so much value in masterminds, or coaches, or just that collaborative community support type of structure and ongoing personal and professional development.
  
 The PR Accelerator
  
 Lauren and her team work with a number of entrepreneurs to get their message out there, book media, and all that kind of stuff. They can scale their business, bring in more money, and the biggest thing that they often work with everyone in that group is the mindset stuff.
  
 The Impostor Syndrome
  
 Impostor syndrome is when someone highly doubts their very own skills. An example of this given by Lauren is when somebody’s been like, “Oh my gosh, so and so got back to me about being on their podcast, which is crazy, I would have never thought…”
  
 And so, Lauren and her team are always reminding their clients to push the impostor syndrome out of the way, and stop comparing themselves because they have a massive value to add to their lane.
  
 Some words of wisdom from Lauren for entrepreneurs:
  
 If you're an entrepreneur, and if you're not owning what you do and not talking about it, how are people going to know what you do? How will they be able to hire you? How are you going to have a business? 
  
 If you really believe in the service and the product that you offer, the solution you have for the world, and you believe in how you can make people's lives better through your business, then you have an obligation to share about it. 
  
 Share about it, unapologetically.

      <title>Mark Divine - The Blueprint to Developing an Unbeatable Mindset</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/mark-divine-the-blueprint-to-developing-an-unbeatable-mindset</link>
      <description>Are you looking for a BLUEPRINT on how to develop an UNBEATABLE MINDSET? 
  
 Then this episode is a MUST LISTEN! 
  
 My guest today is none other than Mark Divine — a New York Times best-selling author, leadership expert, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and retired U.S. Navy SEAL Commander. He is also the founder and CEO of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind and hosts the highly-rated weekly podcast, The Unbeatable Mind with Mark Divine.
  
 Mark's story is incredibly inspiring because he not only made it through BUD/S, at 26 he graduated as the Honor Man (#1-ranked) of class 170. Perhaps even more striking was that his entire original boat crew graduated with him that day. The odds of that happening by chance are literally one in a million.
  
 Mark then served for twenty years (9 active duty and 11 reserves) leading his team on reconnaissance, training and classified missions in 45 different countries throughout Asia and the Middle East.
  
 He now shares the same secrets to entrepreneurs, executives and teams through his books, speaking, award winning podcast, and world-renowned leadership and team events.
  
 Get ready to have your mind blown with the facts that Mark and I will be discussing about his story, meditation, human experiences, mindfulness, discipline and how to develop an unshakeable mindset.
  
 Quick overview on Mark Divine’s story:
  
 After college, Mark was a typical guy trying to make a lot of money and make a mark in the world. He got his MBA at Stern School of Business, he was a Certified Public Accountant working toward shifting over to becoming an investment bank or trader or hedge fund guy.
  
 Just like others, Mark had an early life crisis. He had that kind of existential experience of “What the eff am I doing in this corporate world in the suit and tie, chasing money when none of that really means anything to me?” 
  
 And his paradigm was meditation. He was very fortunate. It's incredible for him. 
  
 When he looks back, he was introduced to Zen meditation at 20 years old, through his martial arts teacher, which was literally the month or two after he went to New York City from Colgate to start his professional career. Because his teacher was so serious about the value of Zen training, to complement the martial arts training and Yin and Yang, his teacher had them meditate for five minutes before and five minutes after every class. And they had a Zen class for 45 minutes on Thursday nights. A small group of them were really dedicated to that. And then they used to go to the Zen Mountain Monastery in Woodstock, New York for long weekends to sit with Zen monks. And Mark felt so good after a few months of wrestling. It just calmed his mind, and he started to feel really good. And so he decided to commit to a daily practice every morning. And it's never wavered since then even while he was in the SEALs. So every morning I would sit, meditate for 20 minutes, I had these profound shifts.
  
 Then, as a 20 to 23 year old kid, his brain was still really developing fast. So the fact that he was meditating meant that he was affecting how his brain was developing. The outcome of that was for him to have those really, really cool moments of just great clarity and insight at a young age where he could see that he was on the wrong path. He sees that the stories that he had been kind of fed through my family, the way they dialogue through the culture, through everything were leading him down a common path, but it just wasn't his path. It wasn't who marked what’s meant to be for him. 
  
 So when he started asking questions to his higher self or spirit, he started to get answers about what he’s supposed to be doing or who he is. And it was leading him in the message that he was a warrior, he was meant to be a warrior, he was meant to serve and lead others, and do some grizzly warrior things. He hadn't even heard of the SEALs at that time. But that insight that he was meant to be a warrior is what led him to stumble across the Navy recruiting office. That's where Mark learned about the SEALs because he saw a poster there with guys doing cool SEAL things on it. And that just cracked right open. He was like, “That's it right there!” 
  
 That was a synchronicity moment. Mark knew that was it.
  
 So in November of 1989. He got his MBA in the mail. Because he had to go extra, he went an extra year to finish it because he was doing night school. He got an MBA certificate, and got his Certified Public Accountant certificate. He earned my first degree black belt. And then he was on a bus to Officer Candidate School in the Navy.
  
 And the lesson that he learned was: “Follow your passion and purpose, or else you're gonna be miserable.”
  
 What does Mark love most about living on the beach?
  
 One of the main practices of being in nature itself is a spiritual practice, because we really just start to resonate and vibrate at the level of the earth, which is the alpha state.
  
 Mark gets that experience -- being in the water and having ionization on the water and the grounding effect. And the ocean effect immediately puts him in that alpha state.
  
 When he meditates, he has both open and closed meditation practices. The open eye meditation practice is done with a wide angle vision or broad gaze.
  
 Left Brain vs. Right Brain
  
 The left brain is trained and refined the egoic structures of the brain and the concentration power of the mind is trained with a focused gaze.
  
 The right brain is really about context, pattern recognition, spontaneity, and those types of things.
  
 Learn more about these as Mark explains its roles in a person’s meditation process!
  
 What are some of the top tactics that Mark learned that the everyday listener can adapt to develop the unbeatable mindset?
  
 Every individual must be in service to something bigger than themselves.
  
 In order to serve well, you've got to relentlessly train yourself to evolve yourself to become your best version physically, mentally, emotionally, intuitively, and spiritually, so that you can serve powerfully starting with serving your family.
  
 A training is a thoughtful, disciplined approach to training the whole body, mind, and spirit system. The whole person along those five mountains that I address — physical, mental, emotional, intuitional and spiritual. So in order to do that, we're going to exercise, move things, move weight, move our bodies, move energy. And we need to do it with the right mindset, the right attitude, the right breath, posture, and breathing skills, the effective use of energy management, both to accrue energy and to prevent energy from leaving us unawares, and to recover effectively. 
  
 We always know why we're training and what specifically we're trying to focus on or improve if we have a gap. And we elevate this training to the same level of importance as eating and sleeping, so that you don't ever miss it.
  
 How was Mark able to calm himself spiritually, mentally, and emotionally during times of adversity?
  
 For Mark, it really is just an understanding of the nature of human experience. He studies his own life. And he studies humanity through spiritual texts, and through great books, and by observing very closely what happens. It's like Socrates says, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” It's pretty harsh, but Mark agrees with it. 
  
 Mark has a wonderful explanation about these and more, so you better listen and take notes of each and everything he said in this episode!

 Just like others, Mark had an early life crisis. He had that kind of existential experience of “What the eff am I doing in this corporate world in the suit and tie, chasing money when none of that really means anything to me?” 
  
 And his paradigm was meditation. He was very fortunate. It's incredible for him. 
  
 When he looks back, he was introduced to Zen meditation at 20 years old, through his martial arts teacher, which was literally the month or two after he went to New York City from Colgate to start his professional career. Because his teacher was so serious about the value of Zen training, to complement the martial arts training and Yin and Yang, his teacher had them meditate for five minutes before and five minutes after every class. And they had a Zen class for 45 minutes on Thursday nights. A small group of them were really dedicated to that. And then they used to go to the Zen Mountain Monastery in Woodstock, New York for long weekends to sit with Zen monks. And Mark felt so good after a few months of wrestling. It just calmed his mind, and he started to feel really good. And so he decided to commit to a daily practice every morning. And it's never wavered since then even while he was in the SEALs. So every morning I would sit, meditate for 20 minutes, I had these profound shifts.
  
 Then, as a 20 to 23 year old kid, his brain was still really developing fast. So the fact that he was meditating meant that he was affecting how his brain was developing. The outcome of that was for him to have those really, really cool moments of just great clarity and insight at a young age where he could see that he was on the wrong path. He sees that the stories that he had been kind of fed through my family, the way they dialogue through the culture, through everything were leading him down a common path, but it just wasn't his path. It wasn't who marked what’s meant to be for him. 
  
 So when he started asking questions to his higher self or spirit, he started to get answers about what he’s supposed to be doing or who he is. And it was leading him in the message that he was a warrior, he was meant to be a warrior, he was meant to serve and lead others, and do some grizzly warrior things. He hadn't even heard of the SEALs at that time. But that insight that he was meant to be a warrior is what led him to stumble across the Navy recruiting office. That's where Mark learned about the SEALs because he saw a poster there with guys doing cool SEAL things on it. And that just cracked right open. He was like, “That's it right there!” 
  
 That was a synchronicity moment. Mark knew that was it.
  
 So in November of 1989. He got his MBA in the mail. Because he had to go extra, he went an extra year to finish it because he was doing night school. He got an MBA certificate, and got his Certified Public Accountant certificate. He earned my first degree black belt. And then he was on a bus to Officer Candidate School in the Navy.
  
 And the lesson that he learned was: “Follow your passion and purpose, or else you're gonna be miserable.”
  
 What does Mark love most about living on the beach?
  
 One of the main practices of being in nature itself is a spiritual practice, because we really just start to resonate and vibrate at the level of the earth, which is the alpha state.
  
 Mark gets that experience -- being in the water and having ionization on the water and the grounding effect. And the ocean effect immediately puts him in that alpha state.
  
 When he meditates, he has both open and closed meditation practices. The open eye meditation practice is done with a wide angle vision or broad gaze.
  
 Left Brain vs. Right Brain
  
 The left brain is trained and refined the egoic structures of the brain and the concentration power of the mind is trained with a focused gaze.
  
 The right brain is really about context, pattern recognition, spontaneity, and those types of things.
  
 Learn more about these as Mark explains its roles in a person’s meditation process!
  
 What are some of the top tactics that Mark learned that the everyday listener can adapt to develop the unbeatable mindset?
  
 Every individual must be in service to something bigger than themselves.
  
 In order to serve well, you've got to relentlessly train yourself to evolve yourself to become your best version physically, mentally, emotionally, intuitively, and spiritually, so that you can serve powerfully starting with serving your family.
  
 A training is a thoughtful, disciplined approach to training the whole body, mind, and spirit system. The whole person along those five mountains that I address — physical, mental, emotional, intuitional and spiritual. So in order to do that, we're going to exercise, move things, move weight, move our bodies, move energy. And we need to do it with the right mindset, the right attitude, the right breath, posture, and breathing skills, the effective use of energy management, both to accrue energy and to prevent energy from leaving us unawares, and to recover effectively. 
  
 We always know why we're training and what specifically we're trying to focus on or improve if we have a gap. And we elevate this training to the same level of importance as eating and sleeping, so that you don't ever miss it.
  
 How was Mark able to calm himself spiritually, mentally, and emotionally during times of adversity?
  
 For Mark, it really is just an understanding of the nature of human experience. He studies his own life. And he studies humanity through spiritual texts, and through great books, and by observing very closely what happens. It's like Socrates says, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” It's pretty harsh, but Mark agrees with it. 
  
 Mark has a wonderful explanation about these and more, so you better listen and take notes of each and everything he said in this episode!

      <title>Lori Gottlieb - How to Improve your Mental Health Right Now</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/lori-gottlieb-how-to-improve-your-mental-health-right-now</link>
      <description> 
 COVID-19 challenged not only the physical strength of those who suffered from it, but also the mental health of many people suffering from depression due to lack of social connections and interactions.
  
 Are you one of those who feel so lonely during this pandemic? Do you question yourself why you always feel like something’s wrong with you? Then you must hear what my guest says about these.
  
 My guest today is none other than Lori Gottlieb. She is a psychotherapist and a writer. She is the author of the book “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” and writes the weekly “Dear Therapist” advice column for The Atlantic.
  
 A quick overview about how Lori became a therapist:
 Lori started working in the entertainment business because she loved stories and the human condition. So whether that was through film and labor through television, she really felt like the reason that people watch those shows and the reason that they make people laugh or cry is because the stories are about being human. 
  
 And then she worked in a real ER, where she spent a lot of time, because they used that to do research. And their consultant on the show, who was an ER physician said, “You know, I think you'd like it better here than you might in your day job.”
  
 Being skeptical at first, Lori still ended up going up to Stanford for medical school. And when she got there, managed care was just coming into play. And she realized that she wasn't going to be able to really spend time with her patients in the way that she wanted to. So she started writing, in a way to help people to tell their stories.
  
 Then she left medical school to become a journalist. And after working as a journalist, she had a baby. And she felt really disconnected from other adults during the day, because she loved her child. And for sure, new parents can relate to that feeling -- the need to connect with other people who can speak.
  
 So she called up the dean at Stanford Medical School, and said she maybe needs to come back and do psychiatry. And the dean said, “You're welcome to come back. But you'd be doing mostly medication management. And you really want those longer term, deeper connections. So why don't you get a graduate degree in clinical psychology, and then you could do the kind of work that you've always talked about doing.”
  
 So that's what Lori did. And she feels like she went from telling people stories as a journalist, to helping people to change their stories, as a therapist. 
  
 Right now, she still does both. She writes books, she has a weekly column, she has a podcast, and she has a clinical practice. And everything she does is all about a story in the human condition.
  
 What does isolation do to people's mental health?
 As humans, we want to be connected to other people. And even in pre COVID times, Lori thinks that there was a sort of epidemic of loneliness happening because she sees it with her patients.
  
 A lot of the times what happens is we’re kind of distracted by all of these things that are not nourishing to us. And we don't realize how disconnected we are. 
  
 People feel anxious, sad, angry, having difficulty in relationships, and having insomnia or addiction. Whatever is happening, people are looking for something else to fill the hole of what really needs to be where connection would go. 
  
 So during this time, people are really struggling, because they didn't have a lot of practice. And they didn't cultivate those connections. 
  
 And now, the silver lining to this pandemic is that people are really saying, “Wait a minute, I need to prioritize the connections in my life, and I need to prioritize the connections that matter.”
  
 Idiot Compassion vs. Wise Compassion
 Idiot compassion is what we do with our friends. Our friends will tell us a story, and then we'll say, “Yeah, you were right. They were wrong. That's terrible.” which just reinforces our very narrow view of a particular situation.
  
 Wise compassion is what people can get in therapy. We hold up a mirror to someone, and help them to see something about themselves that maybe they haven't been willing or able to do before.
  
 Productive Anxiety vs. Unproductive Anxiety
 Productive Anxiety is when you are reasonably worried about something and it's productive, because it makes you take action to protect yourself. And so we are reasonably worried about getting COVID, so we are wearing masks, we are socially distancing and doing other things that we need to do to take care of our physical immune systems.
  
 Unproductive Anxiety is an obsessive rumination. It's like the distraction from doing something productive. You're just ruminating about something and it might not even be about COVID. It might be about that thing that your partner said to you that you can't get over with. You're like, “I can't believe they said that” and you won't let it go.
  
 Being Envious
 Envy is sometimes really useful, because it tells you what you want. When you feel envy, it's because somebody else has something that you want in your life, too.
  
 Tune into this episode to be able to know the answers to your questions, and understand why you feel that way about yourself during the pandemic.
  
 Lori Gottlieb is so amazing, and she can surely enlighten anyone who hears her speak about human conditions and how to effectively deal with it.

She is the author of the book “<em>Maybe You Should Talk To Someone”</em> and writes the weekly <em>“Dear Therapist”</em> advice column for <em>The Atlantic.</em></p> <p> </p> <p>A quick overview about how Lori became a therapist:</p> <p>Lori started working in the entertainment business because she loved stories and the human condition. So whether that was through film and labor through television, she really felt like the reason that people watch those shows and the reason that they make people laugh or cry is because the stories are about being human. </p> <p> </p> <p>And then she worked in a real ER, where she spent a lot of time, because they used that to do research. And their consultant on the show, who was an ER physician said, “You know, I think you'd like it better here than you might in your day job.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Being skeptical at first, Lori still ended up going up to Stanford for medical school. And when she got there, managed care was just coming into play. And she realized that she wasn't going to be able to really spend time with her patients in the way that she wanted to. So she started writing, in a way to help people to tell their stories.</p> <p> </p> <p>Then she left medical school to become a journalist. And after working as a journalist, she had a baby. And she felt really disconnected from other adults during the day, because she loved her child. And for sure, new parents can relate to that feeling -- the need to connect with other people who can speak.</p> <p> </p> <p>So she called up the dean at Stanford Medical School, and said she maybe needs to come back and do psychiatry. And the dean said, “You're welcome to come back. But you'd be doing mostly medication management. And you really want those longer term, deeper connections. So why don't you get a graduate degree in clinical psychology, and then you could do the kind of work that you've always talked about doing.”</p> <p> </p> <p>So that's what Lori did. And she feels like she went from telling people stories as a journalist, to helping people to change their stories, as a therapist. </p> <p> </p> <p>Right now, she still does both. She writes books, she has a weekly column, she has a podcast, and she has a clinical practice. And everything she does is all about a story in the human condition.</p> <p> </p> <p>What does isolation do to people's mental health?</p> <p>As humans, we want to be connected to other people. And even in pre COVID times, Lori thinks that there was a sort of epidemic of loneliness happening because she sees it with her patients.</p> <p> </p> <p>A lot of the times what happens is we’re kind of distracted by all of these things that are not nourishing to us. And we don't realize how disconnected we are. </p> <p> </p> <p>People feel anxious, sad, angry, having difficulty in relationships, and having insomnia or addiction. Whatever is happening, people are looking for something else to fill the hole of what really needs to be where connection would go. </p> <p> </p> <p>So during this time, people are really struggling, because they didn't have a lot of practice. And they didn't cultivate those connections. </p> <p> </p> <p>And now, the silver lining to this pandemic is that people are really saying, “Wait a minute, I need to prioritize the connections in my life, and I need to prioritize the connections that matter.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Idiot Compassion vs. Wise Compassion</p> <p>Idiot compassion is what we do with our friends. Our friends will tell us a story, and then we'll say, “Yeah, you were right. They were wrong. That's terrible.” which just reinforces our very narrow view of a particular situation.</p> <p> </p> <p>Wise compassion is what people can get in therapy. We hold up a mirror to someone, and help them to see something about themselves that maybe they haven't been willing or able to do before.</p> <p> </p> <p>Productive Anxiety vs. Unproductive Anxiety</p> <p>Productive Anxiety is when you are reasonably worried about something and it's productive, because it makes you take action to protect yourself. And so we are reasonably worried about getting COVID, so we are wearing masks, we are socially distancing and doing other things that we need to do to take care of our physical immune systems.</p> <p> </p> <p>Unproductive Anxiety is an obsessive rumination. It's like the distraction from doing something productive. You're just ruminating about something and it might not even be about COVID. It might be about that thing that your partner said to you that you can't get over with. You're like, “I can't believe they said that” and you won't let it go.</p> <p> </p> <p>Being Envious</p> <p>Envy is sometimes really useful, because it tells you what you want. When you feel envy, it's because somebody else has something that you want in your life, too.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tune into this episode to be able to know the answers to your questions, and understand why you feel that way about yourself during the pandemic.</p> <p> </p> <p>Lori Gottlieb is so amazing, and she can surely enlighten anyone who hears her speak about human conditions and how to effectively deal with it. </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Lori: </p> <p> </p> <p>Website: <a href="https://lorigottlieb.com/">https://lorigottlieb.com/</a> </p> <p> </p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/LoriGottlieb1">https://twitter.com/LoriGottlieb1</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GottliebLori/">https://www.facebook.com/GottliebLori/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lorigottlieb_author/">https://www.instagram.com/lorigottlieb_author/</a> </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Sarah Anne Stewart - How to Love The Person You See in the Mirror</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sarah-anne-stewart-how-to-love-the-person-you-see-in-the-mirror</link>
      <description>Have you ever been so insecure about your body, that it made you do something that you regret doing? Did you experience body-shaming and struggled with food anxiety? Then this episode is a MUST LISTEN! 
  
 My guest today is Sarah Anne Stewart. She is a holistic health practitioner who helps women to discover a fun and diet-free way to a body that they love.
  
 A quick overview about Sarah’s story, and how she overcame all the pain she went through, and how she turned this into her passion:
  
 Sarah grew up in a really holistic environment one, where she was meditating and doing yoga and learning about wheatgrass and going on vegan diets as a kid.
  
 Many years later she ended up in a hospital bed. And every time she looks back on her childhood, she feels so much guilt and shame.
  
 She was 15 years old, and at the same time, her dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She was in this weird predicament where she was going to castings. And she started to develop a really bizarre relationship with her body so much.
  
 Her agents were saying, “Don't eat until next week. You can't play sports anymore. You really need to lose weight, you have this amazing career ahead of you. But it's going to require you to change your relationship with your body, meaning, you really have to think about slandering down and doing commodities and yoga instead of sports.”
  
 During that time, her dad was going through this crazy experience of facing the end of his life and telling the doctors that he was not going to go the western route, and he was only going to use food to heal his body. 
  
 And at that point, she was very angry with her dad. And he said, “Sarah, you have to trust me.” and he would meditate every day. He was doing yoga, and he was like visualizing, and basically putting affirmations all over our home. And then he went completely vegan. And within seven months, the cancer was completely gone. 
  
 Once, she ended up in a hospital bed, and that wasn't the first time she was in there. She was in hospital for multiple eating disorders, laxative abuse. And then on top of that, she ended up getting breast implant illness or breast implants because she wanted to extend her career.
  
 She thought she would absolutely lose her life and she had to create a career change. And so all she knew was nutrition. At that point, all she knew was that her dad had cancer with food. And so she thought, she can just go and study nutrition, and maybe she can kill herself.
  
 The interesting part was when she realized that the more nutrition information she bought, the worse her anxiety and depression got, because she was trusting everyone outside herself. She was looking at all the experts and the different coaches and the different diets and protocols, without trusting herself.
  
 And it wasn't until she came across a meditation teacher whose very first question was, “Are you willing to unlearn the way that you were taught to suffer? Are you ready to hear this truth?” and Sarah said she’s willing to do anything. And he took her on this journey of really peeling back the layers of cultural conditioning, or which she had placed on herself, allowing her to finally witness her truth and begin to heal.
  
 A lesson from Sarah that people can use to rediscover themselves internally from the adolescent stage, so they don't have to chase after likes and comments and external validation:
  
 Self love, self worth, self esteem are so important.
  
 Self love exists within us always, it's not like the stock market where it goes up and down, it is always there.
  
 The answer to the solution exists between thought. It exists outside of mind, it exists within our heart, it exists by connecting to higher consciousness, and higher awareness. 
  
 And that is often where the answer of what we should be doing, how we should be doing it, how we should be taking care of ourselves and our lives, and only through the disconnection from the identity, the memory and the intellect, are we able to truly cultivate our own answers. 
  
 And that has been Sarah’s greatest lesson.
  
 There are three parts of the mind:
  Identity
 Memory
 Intellect
   
 Tune into this episode to learn about these three parts and how they impact our lives. 
  
 Know more about Sarah’s journey in this episode, and I am sure that you will get truly inspired by her as she tells all of the life lessons from her own experiences that a lot of people, especially women can relate with.

      <title>Darin Olien - How to Embrace Your Struggles and Live a Superlife (And Creating Down to Earth)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/darin-olien-how-to-embrace-your-struggles-and-live-a-superlife-and-creating-down-to-earth</link>
      <description>You have probably heard about the web documentary show, Down To Earth with Zac Efron and Darin Olien on Netflix.
  
 In this episode, not only you will learn the backstory of the show, but you will also gain a lot of good knowledge from Darin Olien and how he turned all of the unfortunate events he experienced into something great. 
  
 He is one of Down To Earth’s executive producers, the original formulator of Shakeology and co-creator of the comprehensive plant-based Ultimate Reset 21-day detoxification program, is often called “the Indiana Jones of superfoods.” 
  
 Why did Darin choose to dive deep into health?
  
 Darin was starting fullback in his sophomore year and he beat out guys 50 pounds heavier than him. In the first first game, he crunched my lower back, you're a bunch of ligaments.
  
 That was an abrupt stop to his dream.
  
 The physical therapists that I was going to and the x rays and everything that he was jumping through to try to get back on the field wasn't working.
  
 There was a lot of complexity, as it turns out he couldn't get back on the field.
  
 He then quit that school, and went to the University of St. Thomas and St. Paul, Minnesota. And I started studying physiology, kinesiology, and nutrition, and whatnot.
  
 That's when all of these things kind of started making sense for him because number one, he wanted to figure this out for himself, because there's no way that this is going to stop him.
  
 So being able to understand a bit of physiology and movement and patterns, started to reverse engineer his injury.
  
 What got Darin into the superfood industry?
 Darin saw flaws. He saw beautiful marketing, and then crappy ingredients. He was like, “Is anyone seeing this?”
  
 He was always starting to play with formulation.
  
 The full circle kind of moment was when his father passed away, and he received 20 grand which is a lot of money 16 years ago. And for him, that money has something a little different because it came directly from his father -- his legacy.
  
 That’s when he started. He set up his LLC, traveled more, created formulas, and started the process of manufacturing his own formulas. He did all of that using the money he got from his father. 
  
 In the 11th hour of burning through all his cash and realizing how much money it costs them to create a startup, that's when Beachbody approached Darin.
  
 Beachbody told Darin to keep doing his thing. So he’s going to formulate which he was doing anyway, and Beachbody will be paying him.
    What are the five forces in Darin’s best-selling book, SuperLife?
  
 These are: 
  Nutrition
 Hydration
 Oxygenation
 Alkalization
 Detoxification
   
 Tune in to this episode so you will learn what those five forces mean and what the importance of each is.
  
 What was the inspiration for Down to Earth?
  
 As he traveled, he got to see the cultures and the environmental impacts and certain things like water, food, and shelter around the world that many people have never seen and experienced. The environment became a massive pillar in his own life. Water became big for him as he was a big advocate and on the board of rain catcher.org and bringing water to those cultures and showing how to create clean water. He met people along the way that were doing some incredible things from green technologies, to permaculture, and land design that was efficient, but also had yields without striking the ground and the earth and the soil.
  
 So as Darin started sketching out an idea for a show. That was Yes, a little bit of superfood hunting, but yes, a little food systems pollution, solution-based diversity of a lot of good people doing a lot of good things around the world. He wanted to show the goodness that people have and also that people can do something about some of those things.
  
 For Darin, it was not just doing a TV show, for a TV show sake. He needs to do it to move in a way that conveys a message. His mission is to help people stay healthy and help the planet stay healthy, and just make this place better. According to him, we did a lot of things with great intent. But we got a lot of things wrong as a society. So we need to correct those things.
  
 And he really believes that by collaborating with the right people, getting the message out, we can correct those things. And we all can shift from monocropping and stripping our soils to regenerative agriculture that can increase our yields, regenerate our souls, sequester carbon, receive more rainwater, and help their regenerate, reforest, and reinvigorate the ecology. So that we all benefit from it not only our communities, but also as a global society.

      <itunes:summary>You have probably heard about the web documentary show, Down To Earth with Zac Efron and Darin Olien on Netflix.
  
 In this episode, not only you will learn the backstory of the show, but you will also gain a lot of good knowledge from Darin Olien and how he turned all of the unfortunate events he experienced into something great. 
  
 He is one of Down To Earth’s executive producers, the original formulator of Shakeology and co-creator of the comprehensive plant-based Ultimate Reset 21-day detoxification program, is often called “the Indiana Jones of superfoods.” 
  
 Why did Darin choose to dive deep into health?
  
 Darin was starting fullback in his sophomore year and he beat out guys 50 pounds heavier than him. In the first first game, he crunched my lower back, you're a bunch of ligaments.
  
 That was an abrupt stop to his dream.
  
 The physical therapists that I was going to and the x rays and everything that he was jumping through to try to get back on the field wasn't working.
  
 There was a lot of complexity, as it turns out he couldn't get back on the field.
  
 He then quit that school, and went to the University of St. Thomas and St. Paul, Minnesota. And I started studying physiology, kinesiology, and nutrition, and whatnot.
  
 That's when all of these things kind of started making sense for him because number one, he wanted to figure this out for himself, because there's no way that this is going to stop him.
  
 So being able to understand a bit of physiology and movement and patterns, started to reverse engineer his injury.
  
 What got Darin into the superfood industry?
 Darin saw flaws. He saw beautiful marketing, and then crappy ingredients. He was like, “Is anyone seeing this?”
  
 He was always starting to play with formulation.
  
 The full circle kind of moment was when his father passed away, and he received 20 grand which is a lot of money 16 years ago. And for him, that money has something a little different because it came directly from his father -- his legacy.
  
 That’s when he started. He set up his LLC, traveled more, created formulas, and started the process of manufacturing his own formulas. He did all of that using the money he got from his father. 
  
 In the 11th hour of burning through all his cash and realizing how much money it costs them to create a startup, that's when Beachbody approached Darin.
  
 Beachbody told Darin to keep doing his thing. So he’s going to formulate which he was doing anyway, and Beachbody will be paying him.
    What are the five forces in Darin’s best-selling book, SuperLife?
  
 These are: 
  Nutrition
 Hydration
 Oxygenation
 Alkalization
 Detoxification
   
 Tune in to this episode so you will learn what those five forces mean and what the importance of each is.
  
 What was the inspiration for Down to Earth?
  
 As he traveled, he got to see the cultures and the environmental impacts and certain things like water, food, and shelter around the world that many people have never seen and experienced. The environment became a massive pillar in his own life. Water became big for him as he was a big advocate and on the board of rain catcher.org and bringing water to those cultures and showing how to create clean water. He met people along the way that were doing some incredible things from green technologies, to permaculture, and land design that was efficient, but also had yields without striking the ground and the earth and the soil.
  
 So as Darin started sketching out an idea for a show. That was Yes, a little bit of superfood hunting, but yes, a little food systems pollution, solution-based diversity of a lot of good people doing a lot of good things around the world. He wanted to show the goodness that people have and also that people can do something about some of those things.
  
 For Darin, it was not just doing a TV show, for a TV show sake. He needs to do it to move in a way that conveys a message. His mission is to help people stay healthy and help the planet stay healthy, and just make this place better. According to him, we did a lot of things with great intent. But we got a lot of things wrong as a society. So we need to correct those things.
  
 And he really believes that by collaborating with the right people, getting the message out, we can correct those things. And we all can shift from monocropping and stripping our soils to regenerative agriculture that can increase our yields, regenerate our souls, sequester carbon, receive more rainwater, and help their regenerate, reforest, and reinvigorate the ecology. So that we all benefit from it not only our communities, but also as a global society.

      <title>Trent Shelton - How to Transform Your Pain into Purpose</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/trent-shelton-straight-up-advice-to-rehab-your-life</link>
      <description>Your pain can either become your PRISON or your PURPOSE!!!
  
 Are you one of those people who believe that all the pain you have experienced and been experiencing are just plain punishments? Then you must tune in to this episode to change that belief into its exact opposite.
  
 My guest today is one of the most inspirational and motivational people on the planet.  He is a former American football wide receiver, speaker, author and his content reaches more than 60 million people weekly across his social media platforms. I am incredibly honored to have Trent Shelton, founder of RehabTime on the show today.
  
 He will make you realize that all the problems and pains were given to us by God for a reason.
  
 A bit about Trent’s story:
  
 Trent’s everything was sports. Since he was four or five years old, he played baseball, basketball, and football track. And all the way up to high school, he still played basketball, football and baseball. 
  
 That was his identity. 
  
 He was blessed to be an outstanding athlete in Texas, went to Baylor University on a full scholarship, and his career at Baylor went great. He had a chance to get drafted, and that was the picture that he’s always painted. 
  
 Draft day came. He was waiting for his name to be called, but he never heard it. And that's the first moment in his life where he felt like he wasn't in control, and he wasn't enough.
  
 That lasted for just a short while because he got a call. It's like a big war how the teams are calling him — the Cowboys, the Colts, and other teams. His uncle advised him and said, “Hey, go with the Colts. Don't go with the team that offers you the most money. Go to a place where they have nothing to give you but a fair shake.”
  
 So he signed an undrafted free agent deal, which was a very small signing bonus. Probably a few thousand dollars, and he had to work his way up.
  
 But in the same year, Trent ended up having the greatest preseason with the NFL. They brought him in, and they said, “Hey, you know we want to develop you. We have a lot of receivers — Marvin and Reggie. All these guys want to develop you and there's gonna be a good chance in the season. Somebody's gonna get hurt, you're going to be ready.” 
  
 He went ahead and bought his car, got his apartment, and all those things.
  
 But within just three weeks, Trent got a call. It's what they call a “Terrible Tuesday”. They released him. He went back home and tried to suppress everything, and the suppression turned into depression. 
  
 And two weeks later, Trent got called back. His career was very unstable. 
  
 2008 was his breaking point, and he just didn't care anymore. He didn't even want to live anymore. The only thing that kept him going during that time was his three-month-old son, Tristan. He knew that he had to keep living because his son needs his father in his life.
  
 Faith, family, and fitness: What do these three words mean to Trent?
  
 Faith
  It is the rock.
 It is everything, whether it's a spiritual relationship with faith or just the word in general. We are human beings, we operate off of faith.
 We have to strengthen it to be able to see the unseen, to be able to believe that there's something that’s going to happen for our lives as we like to put it, and believe that there's a door that's going to open from my life that didn't exist yet.
   
 Family
  It is his accountability.
 It is who he does everything for, especially his immediate family.
   
 Fitness
  It's been a part of his life since he was five years old — obviously with sports. But now, even just moving his body, he would say movement influences mood.
 It is his release from stress, and it builds on his mental toughness.
   
 What is Trent’s biggest joy in life?
 His biggest joy is being able to coach his son's football team. He would rather do that than go speak on the stage in front of 5000 people. Because he knows that the seeds that he is planting in his family's life will not just affect this generation, but also future generations.
  
 “I don't want to be successful to the world and unsuccessful to my family. It doesn't matter if people say, ‘I love Trent Shelton.’ but my kids are like, ‘I don't love my father.’ or ‘My father is not here.’”
 - Trent Shelton
  
 What pieces of advice can Trent give to anybody who’s struggling to decide whether to let someone go or not?
  
 Just because they're a good person doesn't mean they're good for you.
  
 Always try to ask yourself, “Where is this bridge leading to? Is this bridge leading me to a greater version of myself? Or is it leading you to a lesser version of myself?” 
  
 And if your answer is a lesser version of yourself, you have to burn that bridge.
  
 For Trent, what is the reason why people like to run from their pain and their problems?
  
 Trent knows that running away from pain and problems is one of the three parts of the rehab process, which is the reality.
  
 Reality is hard to face.
  
 People want to stay blind to what they actually see, and they don't want to go through that emotional pain, that emotional journey, so they are going to just sweep it under the rug, as if it doesn't exist, than actually deal with it.
  
 How does sharing a message, helping others, and being of service inspire Trent’s transformation? 
  
 For Trent, it brings healing to his soul when someone else benefits from the things that he does — serving, sharing his story, and giving the things he learned from his story.
  
 He starts to realize that he didn’t just go through all that for no reason. There was a greater purpose than the pain he was experiencing. 
  
 He believes that we wouldn't be able to do what we do, if it wasn't for the things that we went through.
  
 Tune in to this episode to hear more of Trent’s advice about how we can get to where we are really happy with who we are!

 “I don't want to be successful to the world and unsuccessful to my family. It doesn't matter if people say, ‘I love Trent Shelton.’ but my kids are like, ‘I don't love my father.’ or ‘My father is not here.’”
 - Trent Shelton
  
 What pieces of advice can Trent give to anybody who’s struggling to decide whether to let someone go or not?
  
 Just because they're a good person doesn't mean they're good for you.
  
 Always try to ask yourself, “Where is this bridge leading to? Is this bridge leading me to a greater version of myself? Or is it leading you to a lesser version of myself?” 
  
 And if your answer is a lesser version of yourself, you have to burn that bridge.
  
 For Trent, what is the reason why people like to run from their pain and their problems?
  
 Trent knows that running away from pain and problems is one of the three parts of the rehab process, which is the reality.
  
 Reality is hard to face.
  
 People want to stay blind to what they actually see, and they don't want to go through that emotional pain, that emotional journey, so they are going to just sweep it under the rug, as if it doesn't exist, than actually deal with it.
  
 How does sharing a message, helping others, and being of service inspire Trent’s transformation? 
  
 For Trent, it brings healing to his soul when someone else benefits from the things that he does — serving, sharing his story, and giving the things he learned from his story.
  
 He starts to realize that he didn’t just go through all that for no reason. There was a greater purpose than the pain he was experiencing. 
  
 He believes that we wouldn't be able to do what we do, if it wasn't for the things that we went through.

        <![CDATA[<p>Your pain can either become your PRISON or your PURPOSE!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Are you one of those people who believe that all the pain you have experienced and been experiencing are just plain punishments? Then you must tune in to this episode to change that belief into its exact opposite.</p> <p> </p> <p>My guest today is one of the most inspirational and motivational people on the planet.  He is a former American football wide receiver, speaker, author and his content reaches more than 60 million people weekly across his social media platforms. I am incredibly honored to have Trent Shelton, founder of RehabTime on the show today.</p> <p> </p> <p>He will make you realize that all the problems and pains were given to us by God for a reason.</p> <p> </p> <p>A bit about Trent’s story:</p> <p> </p> <p>Trent’s everything was sports. Since he was four or five years old, he played baseball, basketball, and football track. And all the way up to high school, he still played basketball, football and baseball. </p> <p> </p> <p>That was his identity. </p> <p> </p> <p>He was blessed to be an outstanding athlete in Texas, went to Baylor University on a full scholarship, and his career at Baylor went great. He had a chance to get drafted, and that was the picture that he’s always painted. </p> <p> </p> <p>Draft day came. He was waiting for his name to be called, but he never heard it. And that's the first moment in his life where he felt like he wasn't in control, and he wasn't enough.</p> <p> </p> <p>That lasted for just a short while because he got a call. It's like a big war how the teams are calling him — the Cowboys, the Colts, and other teams. His uncle advised him and said, “Hey, go with the Colts. Don't go with the team that offers you the most money. Go to a place where they have nothing to give you but a fair shake.”</p> <p> </p> <p>So he signed an undrafted free agent deal, which was a very small signing bonus. Probably a few thousand dollars, and he had to work his way up.</p> <p> </p> <p>But in the same year, Trent ended up having the greatest preseason with the NFL. They brought him in, and they said, “Hey, you know we want to develop you. We have a lot of receivers — Marvin and Reggie. All these guys want to develop you and there's gonna be a good chance in the season. Somebody's gonna get hurt, you're going to be ready.” </p> <p> </p> <p>He went ahead and bought his car, got his apartment, and all those things.</p> <p> </p> <p>But within just three weeks, Trent got a call. It's what they call a “Terrible Tuesday”. They released him. He went back home and tried to suppress everything, and the suppression turned into depression. </p> <p> </p> <p>And two weeks later, Trent got called back. His career was very unstable. </p> <p> </p> <p>2008 was his breaking point, and he just didn't care anymore. He didn't even want to live anymore. The only thing that kept him going during that time was his three-month-old son, Tristan. He knew that he had to keep living because his son needs his father in his life.</p> <p> </p> <p>Faith, family, and fitness: What do these three words mean to Trent?</p> <p> </p> <p>Faith</p> <ul> <li>It is the rock.</li> <li>It is everything, whether it's a spiritual relationship with faith or just the word in general. We are human beings, we operate off of faith.</li> <li>We have to strengthen it to be able to see the unseen, to be able to believe that there's something that’s going to happen for our lives as we like to put it, and believe that there's a door that's going to open from my life that didn't exist yet.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Family</p> <ul> <li>It is his accountability.</li> <li>It is who he does everything for, especially his immediate family.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Fitness</p> <ul> <li>It's been a part of his life since he was five years old — obviously with sports. But now, even just moving his body, he would say movement influences mood.</li> <li>It is his release from stress, and it builds on his mental toughness.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>What is Trent’s biggest joy in life?</p> <p>His biggest joy is being able to coach his son's football team. He would rather do that than go speak on the stage in front of 5000 people. Because he knows that the seeds that he is planting in his family's life will not just affect this generation, but also future generations.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>“I don't want to be successful to the world and unsuccessful to my family.

      <title>Lindsey Schwartz - Steps on Finding Friends that Align with You</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/lindsey-schwartz-how-a-powerful-community-can-save-your-life</link>
      <description>COMMUNITY IS THE GATEWAY TO TRANSFORMATION! 
  
 Are you afraid to step up and take a leap of faith? Do you feel scared every time you think of all the things you wanted to have and achieve as an entrepreneur? Then this episode is for you!
  
 My guest today is Lindsey Schwartz, an Arizona-based, Wisconsin-born entrepreneur and big dreamer. At age 26, Lindsey started her first business part-time and over the next several years became an accomplished fitness athlete, full-time entrepreneur, speaker, and best-selling author of Powerhouse Woman: How to get out of your own way, fulfill your unique purpose, and live a powerful life.
  
 Lindsey’s journey and how she became who she is today.
  
 Lindsey is a big believer that it's not by accident, and obviously it's taken a lot of hard work. But every time that she thought she was at a stopping point or something that she wanted to happen, and the expectation that she had wasn't turning out the way she wanted, every single time, she just surrendered and trusted that maybe there was a different plan that she just couldn't see. And that led her to what she’s doing now, which she absolutely loves.
  
 She grew up in the Midwest, took a job, and she was recruited by a few companies and ended up selling carpet. She literally sold commercial flooring. That's why she moved out to Arizona.
  
 She was 23 or 24 when she finished school and all that she heard from that company was, “We will move you somewhere that doesn't snow, and we'll give you a car and a cell phone. And when you're that age, and you grew up in the Midwest with the idea of job security, you get a good job, you work hard, and then you retire. That's the dream life.”
  
 Because of that, she was like, “Oh, don't worry about me, Mom, I have made it like, Here I go, I'm gonna start my life in Arizona.” And it just so happens that by the time she got trained and fully into her position, she was in commercial construction.
  
 So there she was in an industry that was extremely hard hit and the slowest to recover. And it was the first time in her life where she considered maybe this idea that was true for her parents and grandparents' generation, wasn't really true for her because she didn't feel a whole lot of job security every single day.
  
 She watched people her age get laid off. And it was the first time she ever considered that maybe she needed a plan B. And so that was what ultimately brought her to network marketing and found out that she loved helping people be healthy more than she loved selling commercial flooring to a hospital.
  
 There was a big difference in both careers she had. There was one time when a customer cussed her because of the flooring order, even if it’s not her fault. And then in her inbox was an email from the woman who had been their wedding photographer, pouring out her gratitude that Lindsey had changed the woman’s life by helping her get her nutrition under control. She then realized that she needs to get out of the job she used to have.She eventually went full time into entrepreneurship. But what happened while she was working in this network marketing career was really what set up what ultimately became “Powerhouse Women.”
  
 What does entrepreneurship actually feel like?
  
 Everytime Lindsey talks to people, they would always say how Lindsey inspires them. They would end up sharing that they have always thought of starting their own businesses, or maybe even a specific idea that they felt really strongly about, and every time Lindsey would hear it, she would think that those things that people are talking about really need to exist. 
  
 But in the very next breath, without any like pause in between, they would share why they weren't ready, or they didn't know enough, or they didn't feel like they were good enough. 
  
 They were afraid — and that is exactly what entrepreneurship feels like.
  
 Those feelings that people are using to prove to themselves why they shouldn't go after that, are actually the reasons why they should. It's pointing them in the right direction.
  
 What would Lindsey tell somebody who is feeling scared and insecure to be part of a community like the Powerhouse Women?
  
 Lindsey can feel that too — she gets intimidated walking into a room of beautiful women, she gets intimidated while walking into a mastermind where everyone's business is twice the revenue of hers, but that's also where she grows. 
  
 But if someone is going after a big idea, building a business, pursuing a passion project, and they don't feel right now like they have that support, it's up to them to go find it.
  
 And the way they find it is by walking into rooms where they feel totally out of their league and a little intimidated until they find the room that yet might still feel a little bit scary, but eventually, they will think that they could fit in there.
  
 There's so many options now, both virtually and in person events and networking groups that Lindsey loves to see because there's more than enough to go around for everyone to find a place where they really fit in.
  
 Lindsey’s advice for anyone who is looking to take the first next step in changing their surroundings and changing the people that they come in contact with:
  
  Seek out what groups were available in your area
 Be willing to walk into a room and be unattached to whether or not that's going to be the best use of your time.
 Think through where people who are up to big things tend to hang out.
 It's always the people you surround yourself with.
 Self-awareness is key.
 You should know yourself well enough that if you're really going to make a leap into a new place for yourself, you literally have to shift your identity.
   
 Tune in to this episode to be more inspired to start and come up with the best move and decision you’ll ever make!

It's pointing them in the right direction.</p> <p> </p> <p>What would Lindsey tell somebody who is feeling scared and insecure to be part of a community like the Powerhouse Women?</p> <p> </p> <p>Lindsey can feel that too — she gets intimidated walking into a room of beautiful women, she gets intimidated while walking into a mastermind where everyone's business is twice the revenue of hers, but that's also where she grows. </p> <p> </p> <p>But if someone is going after a big idea, building a business, pursuing a passion project, and they don't feel right now like they have that support, it's up to them to go find it.</p> <p> </p> <p>And the way they find it is by walking into rooms where they feel totally out of their league and a little intimidated until they find the room that yet might still feel a little bit scary, but eventually, they will think that they could fit in there.</p> <p> </p> <p>There's so many options now, both virtually and in person events and networking groups that Lindsey loves to see because there's more than enough to go around for everyone to find a place where they really fit in.</p> <p> </p> <p>Lindsey’s advice for anyone who is looking to take the first next step in changing their surroundings and changing the people that they come in contact with:</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Seek out what groups were available in your area</li> <li>Be willing to walk into a room and be unattached to whether or not that's going to be the best use of your time.</li> <li>Think through where people who are up to big things tend to hang out.</li> <li>It's always the people you surround yourself with.</li> <li>Self-awareness is key.</li> <li>You should know yourself well enough that if you're really going to make a leap into a new place for yourself, you literally have to shift your identity.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Tune in to this episode to be more inspired to start and come up with the best move and decision you’ll ever make!</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Lindsey:</p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/llindseyschwartz">www.instagram.com/llindseyschwartz</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/powerhouse_women">www.instagram.com/powerhouse_women</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.powerhousewomenevent.com">www.powerhousewomenevent.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.powerhousewomen.co">www.powerhousewomen.co</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p> </p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Michael Chernow - Fitness is the Key Ingredient to Fight Addiction</title>

      <description>FITNESS IS THE KEY INGREDIENT TO FIGHT ADDICTION!
  
 Struggling to be happy in recovery? Are you sick of trying everything to escape addiction only to realize it's not sustainable? 
  
 Then you will need to listen to this episode with Celebrity Chef and Fitness Personality, Michael Chernow!
  
 “The business of business is relationships, and the foundation of relationships is trust, because I believe that. I say that in business, but it's also just in general. The business of happiness is relationships and the foundation of relationships is trust.”- Michael Chernow
 With that quote alone, you can already say that there are lots of things you can learn from my guest today. He is Michael Chernow --  a chef, entrepreneur. He is the founder of Seamore, co-founder of The Meatball Shop, and co-founder of WellWell. He's quite literally the modern-day renaissance man. But what I love most about him is he's really into fitness, and fitness helped to save his life from the depths of addiction, and which we will definitely get into.
  
 How is Michael’s life adjusted since this whole COVID thing hit?
  
 Instead of upgrading their apartment when they had their second child, they bought a place out of the city which is their best decision because they are staying there for two and a half months now. Their boys are enjoying their life out of the city.
  
 Unfortunately, his grandfather, 98, contracted the virus on Friday of last week in his nursing home. He has lived a very fruitful life. It's a shame that this is potentially what could be the end for him, and Michael’s family sort of really bummed out about that.
  
 However, Michael is a positive optimist, he always finds the silver lining in everything and he also tries to make lemonade whenever he sees lemons and at this time, he’s actually out there just trying to make some lemonade.
  
 Michael is greatly inspired by his grandfather because he absolutely lived a wonderful life -- born in 1919, survived the 20s Great Depression, fought World War 2, created businesses, and failed at some businesses. His grandfather is now 98 years old, and his number one priority was great relationships with people and he had an amazing network of friends.
  
 For Michael, we all need to reset and pump the brakes. He has done a lot in the last 10 years and he admits that it hasn’t been the healthiest. 
  
 He is just extreme in anything he does. He was an “addict.” When it comes to business and work, he’s been into the grindstone non-stop for the last 11 years and this time has forced him to slow down, to not beat himself up, for not producing an enormous amount of shit every day, and to slow down to hold his son for more than two minutes.
  
 For Michael, what is life all about?
 It's ultimately about love. That human beings were put on the planet to love and be loved at the end of the day.
  
 In his own experience, he drank and did drugs because he wanted to be loved, and learn how to love himself and, and in his own perspective, everything that we do at the core of motivation or lack of motivation is the desire to love and be loved.
  
 How did Michael get out of doing drugs and drinking?
  
 He fell in love with escapism. At an early age, he fell in love with it. He started working in restaurants at 13. He worked in the night and he was perfect for it. There were a bunch of years where it was just super fun for him. But suddenly, all of the fun stopped and he started drinking and partying. His dad passed away when he was 20. Michael was not on good terms with his father, and he always used that as a grand excuse to just take it even further.
  
 From 20 to 23, he was on a death march, but he still always had a job and always kept his job in a restaurant or nightclub. 
  
 The last few years were pretty dark for him. He stopped enjoying it, and it became just like part of his routine. There were moments like he just wanted to die. He couldn't believe that he found myself back there again, after promising not to do it again.
  
 He clearly remembers catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror saying, “Man, I hate you more than anything on the planet.”
  
 He wanted to die, and luckily, he didn't kill himself. He woke up 16 hours later and he had locked himself in his room and people thought he had actually died.
  
 His boss, Frank, said, “I love you to death, man. I do. I love you to death but I can’t watch you kill yourself. You’re fired.”
  
 Michael really loves his job so he begged for it and his boss said, “I can't give you your job [bar managing] anymore. I just can't put you behind the bar. But if you get sober, if you actually get sober, and you come to work at eight o'clock in the morning, and you clean the restaurant with the porters for 30 days, I'll consider giving you your job back.”
  
 So Michael did all of it. He walked into a room of people that took him in like a brother, and they understood each other.
  
 Then a couple of guys from that group knew that he had like a little bit of a aggressive sort of anger components, and they dragged him into a Muay Thai gym, and they said, “This is where you're going to wake up, where you’re going to have breakfast, you're going to come meet with us and hang with us for about an hour. And then you're going to go over to the gym and train. And then you're going to go home and take a nap. And then you're going to go to work. And you're going to eat chicken and broccoli.”
  
 He just can’t live like that anymore. 
  
 And very quickly, he started to discover who he was. And it wasn't the guy that was abusing himself constantly.
  
 What helped Michael to reestablish commitment to loving himself on a daily basis?
 It was absolutely Muay Thai and discipline of exercising. He owes his life to that.
  
 Tune in to this episode to learn more about how he became who he is now. A lot of people can surely relate and will be inspired and motivated to keep on moving forward in life.
  
 Some words of wisdom from Michael:
  Just do what you say you're going to do. And that's the way you get it.
 There's a big difference between listening and waiting to speak.
 You can't learn without listening. You might be able to learn a little bit by seeing something, but the actual long term growth and knowledge come through listening.
 The less you say, the better off you are when it comes to timing. You don't always have to be hurt. The more you listen, the stronger you'll be in life.

      <title>Dr. John Delony - The Secret Solution to Managing Anxiety, Fear and Trauma</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-john-delony-the-secret-solution-to-managing-anxiety-fear-and-trauma</link>
      <description>SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING WITH THEIR MENTAL HEALTH! 
  
 Do you ever question yourself as to why the things you have experienced in the past happened to you, and what you could've done to prevent them from happening?
  
 Have you always wanted to meet someone who can pat you on the back and tell you the exact things you need to do to become a better version of yourself?
  
 My guest today is Dr. John Delony. He is a leading voice on relationships and emotional wellness. The newest Ramsey personality. He worked for two decades in crisis response and as a senior leader at multiple universities, and he holds two PhDs -- one in counseling and the other in higher education.
  
 Just like normal people, he also has been through the dark days of his life, overcame all of them, and now helping other people to do the same.
  
 What's John’s journey behind being the newest Ramsey personality?
 He lived in Texas every day in his life working at colleges and universities. He was a high school teacher, and then he took a job at a university in Nashville. And Dave has his senior leadership team. John gave a talk to a group of parents and students and Dave’s executive vice president was in the audience dropping their daughter off at the school, and they knew they were looking for additional people. And she just said, “That's the guy.” pointing to John. 
  
 What does Dr. John think about fear?
 When it comes to fear, the one thing that served John well is understanding that every brain cell in the body has one job and that's to get to tomorrow. 
  
 So we need to always be remembering that the fear scans the fear monitor that's going on everywhere.
  
 And if we don't actively seek to get other inputs, or put that in its rightful place, then it can take over everything. They won't kill us. It will just lead to chronic stress and isolation, and loneliness.
  
 How can loneliness affect a person?
 It will kill you. Dr. John stated some facts from American Medical Association about how loneliness can kill a person.
  
 What does Dr. John say about the kids/teenagers who had trauma when they were young?
 Five year old kids should do nothing, but be five. 
  
 Kids have no ability to regulate themselves. They do it against other people. That's when they grew up in stressful chaos.
  
 ADHD is not a disease. It's not a brain malfunction. That is your brain doing what it needs to do to protect itself at the moment.
  
 And then there goes the anxiety, which  is just the alarm system. An example of this is a house that's on fire and we spend so much energy trying to turn the alarm off and not addressing the fact that the house is on fire.
  
 What kind of steps should a person take to make sure they're coming out as a better version of themselves?
  Make a counseling appointment.
 A statement to yourself in the mirror, “I want to get better and I will get better.”
 You got to look in the mirror and say, “I'm a person of value, I'm worth getting better.”
 Connection -- true, vulnerable relationships with God, with your community, with yourself.
   
 Tune in to this episode. I am sure you’ll learn a lot from this awesome guy. He will give answers to some of the questions you didn’t know you wanted to know about.

      <title>Jennifer Hurvitz - The Unexpected Pain of Divorce (And How to Avoid it)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jennifer-hurvitz-the-unexpected-pain-of-divorce-and-how-to-avoid-it-0</link>
      <description>BEFORE YOU GET DIVORCED, LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!
  
 Do you feel like your relationship with your partner is falling apart? Or you’re just someone who is afraid of having a failed marriage?
  
 My guest today, Jennifer Hurvitz, has a lot to say about that topic. She is the host of the highly acclaimed Doing Divorce Right (or Avoiding It Altogether) Podcast. She's a best selling author of two books: One Happy Divorce: Hold the Bulls#!t, and Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.: A divorce coach's guide to staying married. 
  
 She has been featured on Oprah, and Oprah touts her as an expert, recommended her books, and said it's the number five best relation book to read with your partner for a happy marriage.
  
 All the things that we will be talking about in this episode are all based on her own experience as a divorced person and as a divorce coach.
  
 How did Jennifer handle the divorce when she was going through it?
  
 Jennifer wrote her first book called, “One Happy Divorce: Hold the Bulls#!t” quickly after her divorce when she was separated. She wrote it more for herself, just for her readers to tell them, “Look, this is what divorce really, really looks like through the eyes of a divorced person.”
  
 For her, the big problem with divorces is that no one really knows what it feels like until someone goes through it. It's a lot like death. It is like a death, only the person is actually alive and you have to see them everyday, and you maybe have to co-parent with them for the rest of your life. You actually go through the stages of death, grieving, anger, and all those things, but you have to be with this person and get along with them. You’re just literally grieving the life that you thought you were going to have.
  
 Her second book called, “Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.: A divorce coach's guide to staying married” was written basically for everybody else. She wrote that book for everybody who needs to see what divorce looks like through the lens of a divorced person and a divorce coach.
  
 For her, if she would have known then what she knows now, then she may not have gotten divorced. Because it really sucks and the divorce grass ain't greener. 
  
 Divorce absolutely sucks for everybody involved. Everybody, especially for the kids.
  
 Did Jennifer regret getting a divorce?
  
 No, she didn’t. Her divorce with her ex-husband went very well. Both of them decided to do things right and put their children first because they are their top priority.
  
 After the divorce, they became best friends.
  
 They may not be the best partner for each other, but they can say it without hesitation that they are the best parents to their kids.
  
 What was the biggest mistake Jennifer ever made?
  
 Dating too soon. She thought she’s ready and she knew everything. Little did she know, her mind wasn’t. 
  
 Jennifer’s pieces of advice for the people who do not want to end up getting a divorce:
  Find out who you are as an individual.
 You have to take accountability for what you did in your past relationships.
 You can't always place the blame on someone else. You have to own your s#it, so that you can move forward and be a better human.
 There's a reason why he/she cheated.
 For the women, if you don't f*ck your husband, somebody else will.
 Connect every week, same time, same day. Just like a business meeting, talk about your marriage and really figure out what's good and what's not.
 Don't look for the right partner. Try to be the right partner, then if you're the right partner for someone, that's how it works.
 Just let go of the small stuff.
   
 Make sure to tune in to this episode, and I am sure that you will learn a lot from Jennifer -- a woman who has gone through hell and was able to get back on track, and is now trying to help other people who are dealing with the same circumstances she’s gone through.

      <itunes:summary>BEFORE YOU GET DIVORCED, LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!
  
 Do you feel like your relationship with your partner is falling apart? Or you’re just someone who is afraid of having a failed marriage?
  
 My guest today, Jennifer Hurvitz, has a lot to say about that topic. She is the host of the highly acclaimed Doing Divorce Right (or Avoiding It Altogether) Podcast. She's a best selling author of two books: One Happy Divorce: Hold the Bulls#!t, and Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.: A divorce coach's guide to staying married. 
  
 She has been featured on Oprah, and Oprah touts her as an expert, recommended her books, and said it's the number five best relation book to read with your partner for a happy marriage.
  
 All the things that we will be talking about in this episode are all based on her own experience as a divorced person and as a divorce coach.
  
 How did Jennifer handle the divorce when she was going through it?
  
 Jennifer wrote her first book called, “One Happy Divorce: Hold the Bulls#!t” quickly after her divorce when she was separated. She wrote it more for herself, just for her readers to tell them, “Look, this is what divorce really, really looks like through the eyes of a divorced person.”
  
 For her, the big problem with divorces is that no one really knows what it feels like until someone goes through it. It's a lot like death. It is like a death, only the person is actually alive and you have to see them everyday, and you maybe have to co-parent with them for the rest of your life. You actually go through the stages of death, grieving, anger, and all those things, but you have to be with this person and get along with them. You’re just literally grieving the life that you thought you were going to have.
  
 Her second book called, “Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.: A divorce coach's guide to staying married” was written basically for everybody else. She wrote that book for everybody who needs to see what divorce looks like through the lens of a divorced person and a divorce coach.
  
 For her, if she would have known then what she knows now, then she may not have gotten divorced. Because it really sucks and the divorce grass ain't greener. 
  
 Divorce absolutely sucks for everybody involved. Everybody, especially for the kids.
  
 Did Jennifer regret getting a divorce?
  
 No, she didn’t. Her divorce with her ex-husband went very well. Both of them decided to do things right and put their children first because they are their top priority.
  
 After the divorce, they became best friends.
  
 They may not be the best partner for each other, but they can say it without hesitation that they are the best parents to their kids.
  
 What was the biggest mistake Jennifer ever made?
  
 Dating too soon. She thought she’s ready and she knew everything. Little did she know, her mind wasn’t. 
  
 Jennifer’s pieces of advice for the people who do not want to end up getting a divorce:

      <title>Mike Lee - Why Everyone Should Embrace a Fighter's Mindset (And How to Do it)</title>

      <description>Mike Lee: Why Everyone Should Embrace a Fighter's Mindset
  
 Have you ever experienced pain that got to a point where you just want to quit?
  
 My guest, Mike Lee will make you realize that it’s okay to deal with pain and still move forward to reach your goals and continue your fight. He is a well-known professional boxer and was young and undefeated on top of the world at the age of 26. 
  
 Last year he fought for the world title against Caleb Plant. Although, he got knocked out in the third round and ended up having his first loss, he knew that it just wasn't his night. It wasn't his fight because even in the whole training camp, he was in so much pain.
  
 Despite all the negative comments he received from a lot of people on social media, he just shrugged it off and moved forward. He is never afraid to fail, because even if he does, at least he can go to bed at night knowing that he went for it. Yes, he lost, but that made him a better human.
  
 What many don’t know is that in the prime of his career, he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, spent 2 years in and out of hospital, and got addicted to painkillers especially to Tramadol. He was taking it every single day. For him, during those hard times, that’s the only thing that kept him going. Unfortunately, those pills made him suffer from a lot of side effects -- anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
  
 He knew that he only got 2 choices in his life. It’s either he will continue taking those pills or change it. That’s when he dove into health and fitness, and CBD is something he discovered as part of that. CBD helped Mike to get back in the ring, and fought eight or nine more fights. He won eight in a row and got to number three in the world.
  
 He co-founded My Soul CBD together with his sister, Angie Lee. CBD helped Mike overcome his anxiety and depression and he is the proof that their products really work. He’s taking it for years already and never tested positive for THC or any other contaminants.
  
 CBD has a lot of good effects in the human body. He believed that what God put on this earth is what's going to heal us from chronic pain.
  
 If you want to know more about CBD and overcoming pain, anxiety, and depression, then you will want to make sure to tune into this episode with Mike Lee. I’m certain that everyone will learn a lot from this guy.
  
 Take this lesson from him: “At the end of the day, you can’t control the cards you were dealt, no matter what situation that is. The only thing you can control is how you play them.”
  
 For people who are listening, if you share this episode and screenshot the episode, tag Mike, tag My Soul CBD and tag me with your top takeaway, I'm going to be giving away some CBD to the person who presents the biggest takeaway. Check down below where you can connect with Mike and My Soul CBD.
  
 Mike Lee bio: 
  
 For the last decade, Mike has fought in front of millions in the biggest arenas in the world, from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to Madison Square Garden in New York City.
  
 However, his journey as a boxer has had a lot of ups and downs. In the prime of his career he spent almost two years in and out of hospitals battling what he found out was an autoimmune disease that almost ended his career. Fed up with countless hospital visits and years on prescription medication, Mike immersed himself in the wellness world, learning everything he could about nutrition, mindset and most importantly, CBD. With the help of the latter, Mike defied every doctor’s prognosis, and went on to win eight more fights, becoming the #3 ranked fighter in the World and eventually fighting for a World Title last July.
  
 Today, Mike is the CEO and co-founder of Soul CBD, a 7-figure CBD wellness brand, with his sister Angie Lee. With his company, Mike continues to deliver on his mission by helping thousands of people find natural relief from pain, anxiety, and more.

      <title>Stefanos Sifandos - Confronting the Inner Child (and How to Heal it)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/stefanos-sifandos-adulting-101-dealing-with-your-inner-child</link>
      <description>*SUMMARY*
 In this episode, I engage in an explosive chat with Relationship Expert Stefanos Sifandos who helps us understand the importance of doing the inner work on ourselves as evolving humans. In very simple practical steps, the “Relationship Alchemist” teaches us how to deal with the inner child which keeps most adults stuck in unhealthy cycles and patterns. It’s time to break free. Enjoy the listen! 
  
 *SHOW NOTES*
 There’s a child inside every one of us which needs to be understood and worked upon for wholesome adult life. My Guest on this Episode is Stefanos Sifandos who is well-grounded in Psychology and social behavioral science. As a coach helping others navigate through life, he was faced with his most challenging client- himself. Having gone through cycles of pain in his relationships, disconnect, disharmony, constant self-isolation, anger, an unresolved trauma from childhood, complete neglect for self, and depression, he takes us through his journey and process to wholeness.
  
 In this insightful episode, we discuss the importance of doing the inner work on ourselves and rewriting our harmful patterns as evolving humans so that we can live a whole and truly fulfilling life without keeping up appearances. We delve into the issue of letting go of past trauma and abuse where Stefanos advises us to learn to Feel and not suppress emotions,  Forgive the past, and break free. (Shall we call them the 3 F’s?)
  
 While addressing the issue of societal expectation wherein men are expected to suppress their emotions, he also touches on how he’s helping other men work through unresolved trauma from childhood teaching them to put their ego aside in order to fix their insecurities. 
  
 Giving us very practical information, Stefanos analyses the inner child, it’s variants, and how we can address childhood issues which can manifest as different unpleasant emotions in adulthood. Very profoundly, he explains how we seek in adulthood things we didn’t experience from our primary caregivers as children, the struggle to self-regulate as adults and how it affects our relationships with others.
  
 A really outstanding point which Stefanos makes is the fact that we need to get a grasp of self-awareness and not feel ashamed to get therapy, join a group, or read self-help books as long as it helps or speaks to our struggles. He also hints on understanding our attachment styles and how we receive and give love. 
  
 We stir the dark waters of porn addiction as a quick fix for insecurities and a numbing of pain that people don’t want to deal with. One thing we definitely both agree upon is the fact that individuals need to do the hard work of dealing with their unresolved issues so as to make better choices in life
  
 Interestingly, Stefanos will be hosting an INNER CHILD WORKSHOP at the end of this month as well as a retreat from 24-28th September 2020 in Austin, Texas.

      <title>Courtney Friel - Surviving Addiction and a Pandemic as a News Anchor</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/courtney-friel-surviving-addiction-and-a-pandemic-as-a-news-anchor</link>
      <description>Courtney Friel: Surviving Addiction and a Pandemic as a News Anchor
  
 Courtney Friel is news anchor,best selling author and sobriety warrior who's been in recovery for more than 10 years. I first met Courtney when I was interviewing different individuals for my book  The Heart of Recovery. 
  
 Courtney’s recovery journey. 
 It was a 15 year party lifestyle for Courtney when she was working as a news anchor and reporter. 
 Courtney had a work hard play hard identity. The parties she attended were characterised by alcohol, cocaine and pills. 
 It was through an intervention of her husband (now ex) and other friends that she accepted getting into rehab. 
 But before the intervention, Courtney, having already witnessed so many celebrities die from drug abuse, had already contemplated the thought of sobering up, but lacked the strength to do so. 
 It was during the aftermath of a party she had attended in Florida where she had passed out half naked on the floor that she finally got the strength and support she needed to attend rehab. 
 Courtney decided she deserved more than who she had become, and still had so much to give to the world. With one last drink, she said goodbye to the party life and hasn’t looked back ever since. 
  
 Staying sober.
 The one thing that has helped Courtney in her 10 year sobriety journey is that she has a lot to draw from in life. 
 Through meditating, journaling, yoga, church, parenting, social programs and self-help books, Courtney has enough to keep herself busy and occupied. 
 One thing that got drilled into her belief system at the rehab program is that alcohol or substance abuse doesn’t help solve any situation. You’re only going to wake up to the same problem, only this time, feeling worse than before. 
 The best way to fight life’s adversities is to find and practice new tools to manage the stress and anxiety. In time, these tools shape your habits and build your character. 
  
 Managing job related stress. 
 Working as a news anchor and field reporter can be very draining. For Courtney, she’s had to find ways to connect to herself and press refresh when she’s overwhelmed by sad and depressing news stories. 
 She’s already had newsmayers and emotional hangovers related to the sad stories that she has to report. Stories that have only grown by the numbers during the current pandemic. 
 But through her different sobriety tactics, Courtney has learnt to live in the present moment and practice gratitude for all that she’s been blessed with. 
  
 Having interviewed so many people for both my book and podcast, there’s one  common theme surrounding people that have gotten and stayed recovered. The theme surrounds fitness, spirituality, healthy relationships and self-awareness.

      <itunes:summary>Courtney Friel: Surviving Addiction and a Pandemic as a News Anchor
  
 Courtney Friel is news anchor,best selling author and sobriety warrior who's been in recovery for more than 10 years. I first met Courtney when I was interviewing different individuals for my book  The Heart of Recovery. 
  
 Courtney’s recovery journey. 
 It was a 15 year party lifestyle for Courtney when she was working as a news anchor and reporter. 
 Courtney had a work hard play hard identity. The parties she attended were characterised by alcohol, cocaine and pills. 
 It was through an intervention of her husband (now ex) and other friends that she accepted getting into rehab. 
 But before the intervention, Courtney, having already witnessed so many celebrities die from drug abuse, had already contemplated the thought of sobering up, but lacked the strength to do so. 
 It was during the aftermath of a party she had attended in Florida where she had passed out half naked on the floor that she finally got the strength and support she needed to attend rehab. 
 Courtney decided she deserved more than who she had become, and still had so much to give to the world. With one last drink, she said goodbye to the party life and hasn’t looked back ever since. 
  
 Staying sober.
 The one thing that has helped Courtney in her 10 year sobriety journey is that she has a lot to draw from in life.

      <title>Anthony ONeal - Why You Should Go to College Debt Free (And How To Do It)</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/anthony-oneal-creating-generational-wealth-through-financial-education</link>
      <description>Creating Generational Wealth through Financial Education
  
 Anthony ONeal is a bestselling author, speaker and financial expert who is passionate about helping people make better decisions in regards to their money and higher education in order to live a healthy and prosperous life. 
  
 Anthony is also passionate about fitness, a hobby that he owes a lot of his mental strength to. Fitness has taught him the power of his mind in creating and establishing new habits. Once it’s done in the mind, the body can automatically do what’s required. 
  
 Making bad choices. 
 Growing up, Anthony only had two major conversations with his parents. How to respect the law of the land, and the religious law. His parents never gave him any serious talks or lectures about how to handle his finances. 
 Inevitably, Anthony dived right into taking personal and student loan debts to finance a life that he couldn’t afford or need. And this would eventually cost him his college experience. 
 His father told him that as a man, he had to live with the consequences of his choices, and wasn’t allowed to go back home. 
 This would be the start to a 6 month adversity experience where Anthony slept in the back of his car and on the floor of his friends’ houses. 
 Things changed when he decided to give his future some serious thought. He realised that the calibre of his future would be determined by the choices he was going to make in the present moment. He stopped pointing fingers at the people that he blamed for his misfortunes and decided to take action. 
 Anthony made a decision to change his life completely, and travel around the world to teach young people how to avoid similar financial mistakes to his. 
  
 Student crisis. 
 $100,000 - $200,000 is the average of student loans that a lot of young adults graduate with in America. 
 A lot of these students believe they can pay off the debt within 3 years after graduation, but studies show that 65% of them are still paying the debts off 12 years later. 
 It’s for this reason that Anthony advocates for being wise when you pick the path to higher education. What matters isn’t where you study, but the kind of person that you are after graduating. Community colleges, Military schools and Trade schools aren’t as fancied as top colleges like Havard, but they’re still a very great way to educate yourself. 
 Life education has different sources, ranging from online courses, working experience, and free scholarships. What’s of importance when deciding your future is examining the best route that you can take according to your personality, and use it to grow and earn profits. 
  
 Financial Education. 
 Racial wealth gap based on a recent study shows that for every $100 that a white caucasian owns, the average African American has $5.48 . 
 Although there’s a lot of factors contributing to this, Anthony pinpoints mindset to why other races lag behind others. What you should focus on is controlling what you can, and doing the most with the little income that you have. 
 Learn to live below your income and educate your siblings, friends and relatives on the importance of financial discipline in everyday life.

      <title>Sal Di Stefano - Building a Business Based on Integrity and Teamwork</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sal-di-stefano-building-a-business-based-on-integrity-and-teamwork</link>
      <description>Building a Business Based on Integrity and Teamwork
 Sal Di Stefano is one of the three podcast hosts of the highly acclaimed Mind Pump Podcast. They sell workout programs to their clients through the Mind Pump Media brand. 
  
 Sal’s bio
 As he was getting into high school, Sal had a frail, slim body which sprouted a lot of insecurities in him. 
 Always solution oriented, Sal had a growth mindset that pushed him into working out as a way to change his physique. 
 Exercise has ever since been the gateway and foundation to Sal’s personal growth journey. With exercise, the results are always black and white. If you put in the work on a consistent basis, then you’ll see the results for yourself. 
 Having grown up as a child of 2 Sicilian immigrants, Sal through his parents learnt what it means to be hardworking and honest. 
 He grew up responsible and passionate about helping people because he always took care of his three younger siblings. 
  
 Fitness training. 
 When he started out, Sal was mostly focused on how he can best build his business and make profit. This made him push his clients to work with him more if they needed results. 
 After digging in deep and finding the reason why he got into fitness training, Sal changed his business model. He decided that it was more honest if he helped people become a better version of themselves with or without his help. 
 He then pivoted to training his clients into adapting a fitness lifestyle that helped them make a habit out of exercise. 
 For Sal, it's important to train and coach your clients with the truth. Effective training methods that help your clients in the long term are better than intense exercise models that only help them in the short term.  
  
 Mind Pump Sal 
 While working as a fitness trainer, Doug (who is now a producer of the Mind Pump Podcast)
 was recommended to him by a chiropractor because of a back problem. 
 As an effective communicator, Sal was able to convince Doug into a healthy training model in contrast to Doug’s suggestions (Suggestions Doug had picked up from tabloid training media platforms)
 6 months into the training and Doug’s back was not only healed, but Doug was also lifting twice his weight at the gym. 
 Doug loved Sal’s effective communication skills that he suggested online selling for his gym products. 
 Sal, motivated by a New England Journal of Medicine article he had recently read, was able to draft Maps Anabolic - a work out program that he intended to sell online. 
 Before launching the program, Sal reached out to Adam (A first rising fitness trainer whose reputation had crossed Sal more than a couple of times). Adam was more than impressed by the new Maps Anabolic program, and was interested to be a part of it. 
 The trio (Sal, Adam and Doug) then met at Adam’s house and planned to launch a podcast as a way to build an audience and establish authority. 
 Mind Pump Podcast was a total success. They produced 5 episodes a week for a full year and built so much value and authority that Maps Anabolic’s launch needed very little marketing. 
  
 Teamwork. 
 The trio are great innovators and always coming up with new ideas every time they’re together. This has proven to be a challenge as they have to be able to say no to some great ideas in order to focus and grow on one idea at a time. 
 The creativity and innovation of the trio is coupled with a lot of debate and arguments. But the one thing that always holds them together and makes them stronger is support for each other. They back whichever idea has been opted by the majority and support it till the end. Even if the idea ends up failing, they encourage each other and move forward together as a team. 
 This chemistry has been the backbone of their friendship, business and podcast.

      <itunes:summary>Building a Business Based on Integrity and Teamwork
 Sal Di Stefano is one of the three podcast hosts of the highly acclaimed Mind Pump Podcast. They sell workout programs to their clients through the Mind Pump Media brand. 
  
 Sal’s bio
 As he was getting into high school, Sal had a frail, slim body which sprouted a lot of insecurities in him. 
 Always solution oriented, Sal had a growth mindset that pushed him into working out as a way to change his physique. 
 Exercise has ever since been the gateway and foundation to Sal’s personal growth journey. With exercise, the results are always black and white. If you put in the work on a consistent basis, then you’ll see the results for yourself. 
 Having grown up as a child of 2 Sicilian immigrants, Sal through his parents learnt what it means to be hardworking and honest. 
 He grew up responsible and passionate about helping people because he always took care of his three younger siblings. 
  
 Fitness training. 
 When he started out, Sal was mostly focused on how he can best build his business and make profit. This made him push his clients to work with him more if they needed results. 
 After digging in deep and finding the reason why he got into fitness training, Sal changed his business model. He decided that it was more honest if he helped people become a better version of themselves with or without his help. 
 He then pivoted to training his clients into adapting a fitness lifestyle that helped them make a habit out of exercise. 
 For Sal, it's important to train and coach your clients with the truth. Effective training methods that help your clients in the long term are better than intense exercise models that only help them in the short term.  
  
 Mind Pump Sal 
 While working as a fitness trainer, Doug (who is now a producer of the Mind Pump Podcast)
 was recommended to him by a chiropractor because of a back problem. 
 As an effective communicator, Sal was able to convince Doug into a healthy training model in contrast to Doug’s suggestions (Suggestions Doug had picked up from tabloid training media platforms)
 6 months into the training and Doug’s back was not only healed, but Doug was also lifting twice his weight at the gym. 
 Doug loved Sal’s effective communication skills that he suggested online selling for his gym products. 
 Sal, motivated by a New England Journal of Medicine article he had recently read, was able to draft Maps Anabolic - a work out program that he intended to sell online. 
 Before launching the program, Sal reached out to Adam (A first rising fitness trainer whose reputation had crossed Sal more than a couple of times). Adam was more than impressed by the new Maps Anabolic program, and was interested to be a part of it. 
 The trio (Sal, Adam and Doug) then met at Adam’s house and planned to launch a podcast as a way to build an audience and establish authority. 
 Mind Pump Podcast was a total success. They produced 5 episodes a week for a full year and built so much value and authority that Maps Anabolic’s launch needed very little marketing. 
  
 Teamwork. 
 The trio are great innovators and always coming up with new ideas every time they’re together. This has proven to be a challenge as they have to be able to say no to some great ideas in order to focus and grow on one idea at a time. 
 The creativity and innovation of the trio is coupled with a lot of debate and arguments. But the one thing that always holds them together and makes them stronger is support for each other.

      <title>Bizzie Gold - How to Break Free From Your Past For Good</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/bizzie-gold-how-to-break-free-from-your-past-for-good</link>
      <description>How to Break Free From Your Past For Good
  
 Joining me on the show today is Bizzie Gold. 
  
 Labeled the millennial voice of personal development, Bizzie’s efforts are towards changing our cultural view on mental health and helping people rewire their thinking to become the best version of themselves. 
 Bizzie has featured on major mainstream media platforms to discuss her unique and sustainable approach to mental health. 
 She’s been praised globally for the swift breakthroughs she helps her clients achieve during their healing journey. 
  
 Bizzie’s life journey.
 How you handle adversity, according to Bizzie, comes down to how you were raised by your parents. 
 Bizzie’s parents were ever positive and taught her to never be afraid of expressing herself and what she thought.
 They raised her to be a self-reflective and a confident go-getter in life.
 For this reason, Bizzie has always believed in her skills and what she is capable of accomplishing.  
 In fact this mindset has been the key to her success. Every time she’s faced with a problem, Bizzie is at her mental best and drafts the best ideas and solutions to what she’s going through. 
 She has learned and mastered the art of staying calm and thinking clear when she’s in the eye of a storm. She yearns for obstacles, as they help her dig deep and find the best version of herself.
  
 Buti Yoga.
 With approximately 6,000 instructors in 35 countries, Buti yoga is a global brand that Bizzie uses to spread her mental, physical and spiritual healing techniques. 
 Buti Yoga, comes from an Indian Rothi word which means something that’s hidden away or kept secret.
 In our consumer driven society, a lot of people are obsessed with finding some kind of trick, cure or gadgets to improve the quality of their lives. However, the simple truth is that tapping in and resolving what’s inside us is the key to a better and sustainable lifestyle. 
 Only deep self discovery can ignite the flame of bringing permanent change and habits in your daily life.
 In Buti Yoga, Bizzie teaches people how to take a full grasp of what’s happening in their bodies as they’re progressing and use it to fuel their healing journey.
  
 Breaking the victim mentality. 
 A lot of therapy models have sprouted up over the years. Bizzie’s model works on the basis of tapping into the subconscious traumatic patterns and starting the healing process from there.
 Bizzie helps her patients learn how to catch their intrusive thoughts when they occur and restructure them in order to build a final layer to completely change who they are, all while still being their authentic selves.
  
 A lot of our subconscious brain patterns are anchored between the age of 2-5 years. That’s the reason why so many people are stuck in a loop of blaming their personality as the reason why they act or react in a certain way. ‘I’m an angry person, it’s just the way I am’
 Such people respond on autopilot rather instead of responding to a situation based on their current environment and stimuli.
 In her break therapy method, Bizzie helps her clients take a deep dive into their personality and find the actions that trigger the subconscious pattern of judging the current situation through the lens of the past.
  
 Structured container
 Part of Bizzie’s healing therapy module is creating a highly structured environment with different tools that force her patients to get triggered and react. 
 Bizzie then measures how you respond to the different triggers
 .
 Once the reactions are measured. Bizzie teaches her patients how to map out and understand themselves better through the emotional trigger and reaction that occurred. 
 What makes this method so effective is that all the different tools used in the structured environment make sure that you’re honest not just with the facilitator, but your inner self too. 
  
 And no matter what, the end result is always the same. You come out knowing everything about yourself, including the truth that you’re not comfortable to address.
  
 Owning up and taking full responsibility is also part of the healing process. Because a lot of people are comfortably addicted to the victim mentality and only point fingers to explain who  did them wrong. 
 By learning to break your emotional response under different environments, you can learn how to shift your perspectives and reflect on the facts before reacting to a trigger.
 Bizzie, through the Eli Model teaches her patients how to interrupt their emotional response system with logic. This stops the flow of neuro-transmitters. Once this happens her patients can then tap into their logic and intuition in order to make a decision based on their current environment. 
  
 A lot of people try to run away or avoid their triggers. The truth is, you can never grow or learn to rewire your responses by hiding from your triggers. 
 The only solution to this is creating a solid plan and structure where you can rapidly trigger and repattern yourself.

 Bizzie helps her patients learn how to catch their intrusive thoughts when they occur and restructure them in order to build a final layer to completely change who they are, all while still being their authentic selves.
  
 A lot of our subconscious brain patterns are anchored between the age of 2-5 years. That’s the reason why so many people are stuck in a loop of blaming their personality as the reason why they act or react in a certain way. ‘I’m an angry person, it’s just the way I am’
 Such people respond on autopilot rather instead of responding to a situation based on their current environment and stimuli.
 In her break therapy method, Bizzie helps her clients take a deep dive into their personality and find the actions that trigger the subconscious pattern of judging the current situation through the lens of the past.
  
 Structured container
 Part of Bizzie’s healing therapy module is creating a highly structured environment with different tools that force her patients to get triggered and react. 
 Bizzie then measures how you respond to the different triggers
 .
 Once the reactions are measured. Bizzie teaches her patients how to map out and understand themselves better through the emotional trigger and reaction that occurred. 
 What makes this method so effective is that all the different tools used in the structured environment make sure that you’re honest not just with the facilitator, but your inner self too. 
  
 And no matter what, the end result is always the same. You come out knowing everything about yourself, including the truth that you’re not comfortable to address.
  
 Owning up and taking full responsibility is also part of the healing process. Because a lot of people are comfortably addicted to the victim mentality and only point fingers to explain who  did them wrong. 
 By learning to break your emotional response under different environments, you can learn how to shift your perspectives and reflect on the facts before reacting to a trigger.
 Bizzie, through the Eli Model teaches her patients how to interrupt their emotional response system with logic. This stops the flow of neuro-transmitters. Once this happens her patients can then tap into their logic and intuition in order to make a decision based on their current environment. 
  
 A lot of people try to run away or avoid their triggers. The truth is, you can never grow or learn to rewire your responses by hiding from your triggers. 
 The only solution to this is creating a solid plan and structure where you can rapidly trigger and repattern yourself.

      <title>Connor Beaton - Winning Your Battles Through Facing Your Shadow</title>

      <description>Connor Beaton: Winning your battles through facing your shadow
 I’m pleased to host Connor Beaton as today’s special guest on the show. Connor is a male relationship and mindset coach.
 Alongside his wife, Vienna Pharoan, Connor has been making a positive impact in the lives of many couples throughout the world.
 The current pandemic that we’ve found ourselves in as a result of covid 19 has undoubtedly caused havoc in many relationships. Relationships not just with our partners, but ourselves too.
 Connor helps us unravel why so many individuals are having a hard time right now and how we can use the power of self-awareness and conflict management to live a better life with ourselves, and other people. 
 Facing your shadow.
 Our mind consists of three parts. The conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind.
 Also referred to as the Hurt Locker, The Shadow is the part of our mind where we lock up all the past events of our lives that we don’t like. 
 The shadow is part of the unconscious mind, and it’s where we store our insecurities and things that we tend to avoid or hide from the world.
 What’s interesting about the Shadow, is that it’s not only the place where we store our painful past experiences but also where we lock up a lot of our potential too.
 For example, imagine a small boy who has an abusive parent who constantly tells him that he’s stupid or not smart enough.  This will have a psychological impact on the child. The child will not only adopt a personal story of not being smart enough, but he’s also going to take part of the potential of who he can be and lock it away in the unconscious mind.
 It’s only through facing these past demons and shadows, that we allow ourselves to move into a space where we are psychologically complete.
  
 Why men need more of shadow facing
 We all have moments where life showers challenges in our lives.
 And this has a major impact on men than it does on women.  
 As a result of cultural pressure from fellow men and society, a lot of men have adopted a natural philosophy of handling problems in isolation, without seeking help or guidance from anyone.  
 We’ve been taught as men that our highest value is in our ability to perform and solely find solutions to problems.
  
 Connor’s rock bottom.
 Growing up Connor lacked a sense of self-worth. He wasn’t very sharp in academics, he was average in sports, but excelled when it came to women.
 With time, Connor built a sense of self worth around the attention that he got from women. This turned him into a womanizer and an infidel partner who casually slept with other women for fun.
 All of this took a turn when Connor’s partner found out about his cheating ways after finding him with another woman. It was at this moment that Connor fully realized the impact of his actions.
 Having led a double life of hiding the truth and only showing what a happy and successful life he was living; Connor was too ashamed to face the world.  And so, he took all of his shame and guilt and stored it in his shadow.
 This went on for a few weeks up until Connor got to his breaking point. He was living at the back of his car; sad, lonely, and depressed. That is when he decided to reach out to his friend and ask for support; leading to a self-discovery journey of facing his shadow.
 Through the process, Connor was able to focus on his insecurities and the part of him that was constantly seeking validation from women in order to be happy. The part of him that was using sex and porn as a distraction to get through his days and get through life.
  
 The time is never right to make a change.
 The narratives that we tell ourselves about our lives are very important, as they dictate the trajectory that we’re going in life.
 After working with men, women and couples for close to a decade now. Connor has noted that so many people believe change won’t happen unless we hit rock bottom. Unless we’re completely destroyed.
 A lot of individuals live under the mentality that growth can’t happen in a consistent and substantial way unless we’re bartered, beat and broken.
 In contrast to this belief we actually tend to hide our feelings and escape from reality when we feel pain, suffering, or insecurities. 
 Our brains have been naturally designed to resist change because it can’t predict the outcome that will result from the change.
 And just like in Ryan Holiday’s book The Obstacle Is The Way, we should learn to accept and live by the universal truth that facing our challenges, especially when we least feel like it, is when we absolutely need to do it.
  Dark and Light Motivation
 There are two types of motivation.
 Dark motivation is fuelled by shame or the belief that we are not good enough. And most people build their lives, businesses, relationships and families based on this motivation. The sad truth is that this motivation will wear out with time.
 Light motivation on the other hand is a result of us moving into and facing the darkness in our lives. Even though we’re naturally designed to run away from troubles and challenges, light motivation is about facing your inner critic and conquering it.
 It’s at this moment  we realize that true freedom can only come when we decide to face what we’ve desperately been trying to escape from.
  
 Handling the stress and conflict that’s a result of the current pandemic.
 How you’re acting right now to cope with your troubles, is an amplification of what you normally do when faced with the unknown or things that are out of your control.
 Right now is the perfect time to lean into the discomfort you’re feeling and do the things you normally wouldn’t do in order to change your lifestyle for the better.
 A lot of relationship routines have been destroyed by the covid pandemic. These routines are normally what hold the continuity of connection and communication in relationships. 
 So if you’re having a hard time with your partner, don’t worry, you’re not the only one. So many people are experiencing the same globally.
 To help manage this, you can;
  Create a personal routine that helps you build intimacy with yourself
 Create a couple routine that helps you build intimacy with your partner
  Since conflicts are a normal part of any relationship, you can do the following to build a great conflict management system with your partner.
  Know your personal relationship towards conflict.
 Get familiar with how you react in a moment of conflict.
   
 We all react differently to conflicts in relation to our character and personality. Label your reaction, eg. I get too angry or manipulative during a conflict.
 This will help you set boundaries with yourself and your partner. This way, you’ll know when to take a pause when either one of you is at their most reactive during a conflict.
 Once you’ve taken a pause, you can regulate yourself to solid ground as you wait for your partner to do the same (or reach out if they’ve already cooled off)
 All couples have conflicts, but the best couples are the ones that can navigate through conflict and find a way to turn it into a connection.

Even though we’re naturally designed to run away from troubles and challenges, light motivation is about facing your inner critic and conquering it.</p> <p>It’s at this moment  we realize that true freedom can only come when we decide to face what we’ve desperately been trying to escape from.</p> <p> </p> <p>Handling the stress and conflict that’s a result of the current pandemic.</p> <p>How you’re acting right now to cope with your troubles, is an amplification of what you normally do when faced with the unknown or things that are out of your control.</p> <p>Right now is the perfect time to lean into the discomfort you’re feeling and do the things you normally wouldn’t do in order to change your lifestyle for the better.</p> <p>A lot of relationship routines have been destroyed by the covid pandemic.

      <title>Nick Santonastasso - How to Build an Unbreakable Mindset</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/nick-santonastasso-how-to-build-an-unbreakable-mindset</link>
      <description>How to Build an Unbreakable Mindset
 Joining me on the show today is Nick Santonastasso. 
 Nick is a global keynote speaker and fitness model. What’s so incredible about his story is he kept pushing on despite having so many reasons to give up. 
 Born with no legs and an arm, Nick had to fight through depression and suicidal thoughts growing up. With all odds against him, Nick developed a razor sharp mindset to become the success and inspiration he is today. 
  
 The Foundation of Nick’s success.
 Nick owes it all to his parents. They are his superheroes.
  
 As a parent, you cultivate and mould your child’s mindset through your actions and words. 
 While growing up as a kid, Nick’s parents never treated him any different. They treated him as a normal kid and handed him tasks that they would a normal kid. 
  
 It is from his childhood that Nick developed the solution oriented mindset. Everytime his parents placed him in a situation that made him uncomfortable, Nick used it as an opportunity to grow both physically and mentally. 
  
 Nick’s journey.
 Back in high school, Nick used to be a popular prankster. He’d dress up like a zombie and scare people. 
 After finishing high school, Nick  turned down the offer to attend college and instead chose to pursue a career in acting. And so he moved to LA.
 Two weeks after signing his first lease, the show he was supposed to perform in got cancelled. He didn’t even get the opportunity to film the pilot episode. 
 As time went by, Nick found himself broke, with no money to pay rent or buy food. (Looking back at it now, Nick appreciates this lowpoint in his life. Till date, he still believes he can survive even when he lacks a penny in his name.)
 This forced him to move back home and live in his parents’ basement. 
 With his pranking career down the drain, Nick decided to shift his focus on body building as his next life project. 
 He analyzed the fitness industry and created a masterplan to use his unique body features to build a career as a bodybuilder. He would leverage what he had to entertain and motivate people.
 With this vision in mind. Nick pushed himself to the limit and this led to him being the success he is today.
  
 How Nick uses his mind as a tool to achieve success.
 For Nick, it’s all about focus and where you place it. Don’t place your focus on things you can’t control or the bad things going on in your life. Instead, you should place it on the positive things happening for you, and how to find solutions for the problems in your life.
 Work on yourself. A lot of people try to seek validation from other individuals in their lives such as parents, peers and work colleagues. Nick advises you to instead seek acceptance and validation from yourself. And the best way to do this, is to invest in yourself. 
 When you work on yourself, you create clarity and momentum in your life. You are able to live based on your purpose and end up falling in love with yourself. 
 Nick worked on himself through bodybuilding. Working out gave him confidence, upon which Nick has built his entire life and career. 
  
 Seed planting and persistence. 
 When his bodybuilding career was peeking. Nick decided to attend a mastermind course. 
 It's here that he met his business partner and coach, Ratmir. 
 Inspired by Nick’s story, Ratmir offered to work for Nick for free. Ratmir promised to build Nick a successful career as a public speaker. 
 With the new journey onset, the duo used all the little chances and resources they could find to build Nick’s PR profile.
 Every event the duo attended, they would plant seeds in the form of networking and consistently communicating with the top speakers and VIP guests of the shows. 
 Nick would give talks without asking for pay. Just to build his profile. 
 With time, they were able to leverage the different relationships they had built through the years and Nick found himself sharing the stage with icons such as Tony Robbins and Tom Bilyeu. 
 This served to boost Nick’s fast rising career as speaker. 
 But even after accomplishing so much and establishing himself as a renowned speaker. Nick still does events for free. 
 As a core principle in his life, Nick believes in doing the same things that you did when you were starting out that got you to where you are. Never derail from your foundation. Hang on to the principles that propelled you to success.

      <title>Shaman Durek - Transforming Your Life Through Spiritual Hacking</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/shaman-durek-transforming-your-life-through-spiritual-hacking</link>
      <description>Are you ready to completely change your perceptions on reality and experience change like never before?  If so, then I’ve got two words for you Shaman Durek. 
  
 In hands down one of the most soul stirring interviews I’ve ever had, stay tuned into the show and be a part of an uplifting biohacking experience that is certain to change your views on everything you know and believe in.
  
 About Shaman Durek
 Although he was destined to be a Shaman because of his lineage. Durek had at one point in his life completely pushed the thought of becoming a Shaman away. 
 Durek then went on a walkabout and chose otherwise, thus becoming the shaman he is today. 
 Descendent from the West African country of Ghana. Durek’s ancestors were the village medicine people. 
 As a result of slave trade and colonialism. Durek’s ancestors ended up practicing Lukumi (The merging of African shamanism and modern Catholicism)
 The merge has had its challenges since the two (African Shamanism and Catholicism) really contradict each other. 
 Durek for example has always had a view of Shamanism as freedom, liberation, acknowledgment and relationship with everything around you. 
 On the other hand, Durek views religion as a clause. With consequences as a result of the choices you make. 
 Growing up and going to school in America was always tough for Durek. Sharing his experience of seeing, feeling and talking to spirits had other kids label him as crazy or evil. 
 It’s thus been a long journey of trying to incorporate shamanism into the mainstream for him.  
  
 The principles of Shamanism
 You as a human being, already have higher consciousness within you.
 The only problem is that you haven’t aligned your synapsis and neurological system in order to input the frequencies and codes in your body. 
 Distractions and inflammations from the environment you are subjected in, is what’s preventing this alignment from happening. 
  
 Shamanism is about enhancement and elevation. 
 To accomplish this, you first need to closely observe your reality and remove the resistance and constrictions that are stopping you from being fully optimized. 
 These constrictions are belief systems are as a result of what you’ve been taught to understand about yourself and the world you live in. They press against you and prevent your freedom. 
 Constrictions include; fears, doubts, shame, guilt, worry, insecurities etc
  
 Once you face these constrictions, you’ll be able to operate in autonomy. Your happiness and freedom will no longer be tied down to other people or activities. 
 Because you are the source of everything you experience.
  
 Blackout. 
 This is a time when magnetic energy frequencies begin to lift the sediment of things that you have hidden away from your consciousness and society. 
 A blackout experience is an opportunity to figure out how to stop reacting to everything, and instead, pull deeper into love, acceptance and understanding. 
  
 Everything we achieve in life is based on getting acknowledged, noticed, heard, seen, appreciated, valued etc. The black out experience is about learning to break out from this culture. 
 Instead of hustling and operating under the fear of lacking something, and motivation to get somewhere, you should instead, see yourself as aligned and magnetically drawing everything you need towards you. 
  
 The trajectory for success is through cooperation, communication, engagement and authenticity.
  
 If you can apply these principles, then you will be able to come out on the other side as a success.  
  
 Why don’t people embrace the Blackout experience then?
 Because we are naturally designed to be safe. 
 We are all egocentric control freaks as a result of the system we’ve been programmed to live in. 
 The key to breaking free is enhancing your spiritual immunity instead of safety. 
  
 The Law of Duality 
 There’s different polarities that are present in our planet. 
 These polarities are acknowledged by a certain group of people or by an individual more than in other groups or individuals. 
 We have all, as result, created a very dualistic way of viewing life. Duality has become a tool to understand reality, which of course, is all wrong. 
 For example, the idea of what’s right or wrong is different in every society, subjective to their belief systems and environment. 
 Because of this duality, we are stuck in the past and forget that we are changing. 
 The reality of consciousness isn’t anything that’s dual or solid, rather it’s something that is fluid and transformable. Because the system is ever changing and evolving.
 Once you accept this reality, then you can be synergetic. You will be liberated from all the attachments, labels, ideas and conditions that have been forced on you subconsciously. 
  
 We live in an illogical world. 
 Your brain operates on frequencies and energy. 
 If we lived in a logical world, then you would be given the ability to be loved unconditionally, truly express yourself as things happen in your life and maintain your biological system in a functional way. 
 But because we don’t. Then you do neither of these things. 
  
 Being logical means that you know you are free to communicate and operate in intelligence that gives you input, responding to what you want to express. 
  
 But because we live in an illogical world, you cannot do all of the above. 
 So your brain finds a way to compensate for the lack of logic in your environment. It then functions based on protecting you and helping you get what you want. 
 To be free, means you are possibility driven and open to all ideas. 
 A wise person is one who can see and consider the diverse options that are at his disposal.

      <title>Sara Kuburic - Saving Millennials Through Modern Day Therapy</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/sara-kuburic-saving-millennials-through-modern-day-therapy</link>
      <description>Sara Kubric: Saving Millennials through Modern Therapy Techniques.  
 I’m honoured to host Sara Kuburic as the guest on our show today.
 Sara is a Canadian certified counsellor and a trauma informed clinician. She has a person-centred approach that’s grounded in existential analysis as well as semantic and experiential techniques.
 She specializes in areas of trauma &amp; abuse, identity relationships with self &amp; others, life transitions, and anxiety.
 The Millennial Therapist: Sara’s unique and modern approach to healing.
 When starting out as a young clinician or student in grad school, you’re presented with a diverse range of therapeutic modalities. This can tend to be overwhelming when making your selection.
 Sara decided to pick a modality that resonates with her personality and character. Based on this criterion, Sara involves her clients in open, honest and genuine conversations with her patients, all of which leads to an effective growth and healing journey.
 Having initially started off with Neuroscience, Sara found herself switching to an existential approach after stumbling across a patient whose treatment involved performing an existential analysis.
  
 Sara’s modern approach to Psychotherapy
 In today’s society, instant gratification has led to the striving and application of quick solutions and coping mechanisms to deal with our problems.
 That is why so many therapists also pick modalities that cater for quick results, and end up ignoring the deep-rooted issues that need to be solved. In contrast to this, Sarah preaches for and practices awareness and honesty as an effective therapy strategy.
 Growth is sometimes characterised by pain and discomfort, and so it’s counterproductive when so many modern therapists try to make their clients feel as comfortable as they can throughout the entire therapy session. This only serves to limit their growth.
  
 People pleasing.
 Having grown to be such a big cultural aspect of our society, people pleasing is an attribute that’s been happening for ages.  
 Sara describes pleasing people as the act of trying to get the approval of other people, regardless of the sacrifice that you have to make in order to accomplish your goal.
 As a society, we tend to applaud people for placing other people’s needs before their own and criticize the ones that put themselves first.  Self-care is now seen as being selfish.
 Essentially, the things that we yearn to do in order to gain other people’s approval are things that we can’t always, but partially offer ourselves.
  
 Gaslighting.
 Being aware that you’re a victim of gaslighting is an incredibly difficult feat.
 Gas lighting is a relationship phenomenon characterised by toxic manipulation of the victim. It’s so complex to an extent that the victim has a really hard time to connect to themselves and reality.
 It’s psychological abuse, that leads to the victim going through detrimental suffering, and more often than not, isolating themselves from everyone too.
  
 Setting healthy boundaries.
 Unlike the popular belief in so many cultures, setting boundaries with your friends and family, is not an ultimatum or control mechanism. Rather, it’s a request to other people to be more empathetic while still protecting our needs, and nurturing our connection with other people.
 Boundaries are different for everyone and we should feel confident when setting them. Never be afraid to give your honest thoughts and opinions about how other people’s actions, behaviours, and opinions impact us.
 Inner child.
 The concept defines re-enactments that we do as adults in relation to our childhood experiences. These acts are triggered by needs that were never fulfilled when you were growing up as a kid. Inner child can sometimes manifest in the form of tantrums.
 So, whilst we try to fulfil these needs in our adult life, we do so without realizing that we’re doing so in an unproductive or harmful way.
 Sometimes there’s the beautiful inner child. This is where our intuition, creativity, and playfulness stems from.
 Thus, as much as the inner child can be harmful, we can learn how to decipher between the productive and unproductive inner child for a happier life.
  
 The Shame tagged with seeking therapy
 Unlike being able to spot a physiological defect within your body such as a broken arm, it’s difficult to pinpoint what you lack when it comes to therapy. So, most people end up concluding that they’re broken. And this induces a lot of shame.
 To change this mentality, we can accept our flaws and own the fact that we need help, this way, we flip the conversation from therapy to self-growth and development.
 Be sure to tune into the show, and grow from insights provided by Sara Kuburic, including how you can use fitness &amp; nutrition as guidelines for a healthy mind, and why humour is one of the best tools to calm a troubled mind.

      <title>Chris Hogan - The Power of Positivity, Support and Relationships</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/chris-hogan-the-power-of-positivity-support-and-relationships</link>
      <description>A lot of you probably know today’s guest as a top and highly sought after motivational speaker on leadership, finance and family. 
  
 Joining me on today’s show is Chris Hogan. Chris gives us a backstory of where his passion to help people comes from, and how he’s overcome obstacles in his life to be the inspirational figure he is today.
 Chris Hogan is a two-time #1 national best-selling author, financial expert and host of The Chris Hogan Show. For more than a decade, Hogan has served at Ramsey Solutions, equipping and challenging people to take control of their money and reach their financial goals. 
  
 His second book, Everyday Millionaires: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Wealth—And How You Can Too, is based on the largest study of millionaires ever conducted
  
 Growing up with a single mom
 Despite his dad not being around, Chris grew up with a lot of family members and mentors, all of whom believed in his abilities.
 From his upbringing and environment, Chris was able to pick up on what inspired him and mould a character from it.
  
 Growth and Mindset
 Growing to be a better person comes down to one thing. Your heart.
 You’ll never grow because someone has asked or told you to. You’ll never grow because of something you’ve seen. 
 You’ll only grow once you decide to look into your heart and make the decision to change for better. 
 Thus, growth is an internal decision. And the beauty of it, is that it’s not a one time decision. It’s an everyday decision that we have to make. A decision about how we feel about ourselves and how we view others. 
 And although there’s nothing wrong with glancing back every once in a while to see how far we’ve come, it’s important to always focus on the future. We’ve got more ahead of us than that’s ever been behind us. 
 Remember to also spend time around supportive people who believe in you and encourage you to reach for your success. Isolating will only lead to a downward spiral of constant backsliding. 
  
 Servant Leadership
 The corporate mainstream has a culture of people at the bottom doing things in order to accomplish what people the top need accomplished. 
 Servant leadership flips this triangle around. The focus shifts to the people at the bottom. The top level individuals focus on how and what to do to make life easier and better for the ones at the bottom.
 This kind of mentality, according to Chris, causes leaders to step outside of their title and start looking at people for what they truly are, and that’s people.
 Ultimately, it’s less about what you do and more about what you do to benefit others. You’re looking for ways to serve and encourage other people through their life journeys.
  
 The power of your inner circle.
 You think and become like the people you spend your time with. And this is something you should be mindful about.
 It’s common to have friends who are negative or make you feel uncomfortable, and the key here is to make a choice of not letting them influence you.
 It’s all about constantly being proactive in deciding what you want to focus on. Take in the good stuff and filter the bad out.
  
 How Chris conquered his biggest adversity
 Chris’ youngest son was at 2 years, diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. It was gut wrenching for Chris.
 No matter how much he tried to be positive, it was extremely difficult and painful for Chris to walk through and acknowledge this reality. 
 One of Chris’ biggest regrets in life is how he chose to handle that problem. For the first 1 and a half years, Chris chose to isolate to himself and his problems.
 Eventually though, Chris made the decision to understand and learn about the disease his son had, and with the knowledge, cam awareness.
 It’s through awareness that we can make life changing decisions from our hearts.
 In conclusion, it’s important to acknowledge that none of us is perfect. But we are indeed perfectly capable of making improvements. 
 The most important thing in the self-development process is to identify the areas that you need improvement and begin taking action towards it. 
 Be willing to forgive yourself for the sake of growth and seek constant guidance from experts in the areas you need improvement. And last but not least, remember to keep a close company to friends and family who support and believe in you.

 Be willing to forgive yourself for the sake of growth and seek constant guidance from experts in the areas you need improvement. And last but not least, remember to keep a close company to friends and family who support and believe in you.

        <![CDATA[<p>A lot of you probably know today’s guest as a top and highly sought after motivational speaker on leadership, finance and family. </p> <p> </p> <p>Joining me on today’s show is Chris Hogan. Chris gives us a backstory of where his passion to help people comes from, and how he’s overcome obstacles in his life to be the inspirational figure he is today.</p> <p>Chris Hogan is a two-time #1 national best-selling author, financial expert and host of <em>The Chris Hogan Show.</em> For more than a decade, Hogan has served at Ramsey Solutions, equipping and challenging people to take control of their money and reach their financial goals. </p> <p> </p> <p>His second book, <em>Everyday Millionaires: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Wealth—And How You Can Too</em>, is based on the largest study of millionaires ever conducted</p> <p> </p> <p>Growing up with a single mom</p> <p>Despite his dad not being around, Chris grew up with a lot of family members and mentors, all of whom believed in his abilities.</p> <p>From his upbringing and environment, Chris was able to pick up on what inspired him and mould a character from it.</p> <p> </p> <p>Growth and Mindset</p> <p>Growing to be a better person comes down to one thing. Your heart.</p> <p>You’ll never grow because someone has asked or told you to. You’ll never grow because of something you’ve seen. </p> <p>You’ll only grow once you decide to look into your heart and make the decision to change for better. </p> <p>Thus, growth is an internal decision. And the beauty of it, is that it’s not a one time decision. It’s an everyday decision that we have to make. A decision about how we feel about ourselves and how we view others. </p> <p>And although there’s nothing wrong with glancing back every once in a while to see how far we’ve come, it’s important to always focus on the future. We’ve got more ahead of us than that’s ever been behind us. </p> <p>Remember to also spend time around supportive people who believe in you and encourage you to reach for your success. Isolating will only lead to a downward spiral of constant backsliding. </p> <p> </p> <p>Servant Leadership</p> <p>The corporate mainstream has a culture of people at the bottom doing things in order to accomplish what people the top need accomplished. </p> <p>Servant leadership flips this triangle around. The focus shifts to the people at the bottom. The top level individuals focus on how and what to do to make life easier and better for the ones at the bottom.</p> <p>This kind of mentality, according to Chris, causes leaders to step outside of their title and start looking at people for what they truly are, and that’s people.</p> <p>Ultimately, it’s less about what you do and more about what you do to benefit others. You’re looking for ways to serve and encourage other people through their life journeys.</p> <p> </p> <p>The power of your inner circle.</p> <p>You think and become like the people you spend your time with. And this is something you should be mindful about.</p> <p>It’s common to have friends who are negative or make you feel uncomfortable, and the key here is to make a choice of not letting them influence you.</p> <p>It’s all about constantly being proactive in deciding what you want to focus on. Take in the good stuff and filter the bad out.</p> <p> </p> <p>How Chris conquered his biggest adversity</p> <p>Chris’ youngest son was at 2 years, diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. It was gut wrenching for Chris.</p> <p>No matter how much he tried to be positive, it was extremely difficult and painful for Chris to walk through and acknowledge this reality. </p> <p>One of Chris’ biggest regrets in life is how he chose to handle that problem. For the first 1 and a half years, Chris chose to isolate to himself and his problems.</p> <p>Eventually though, Chris made the decision to understand and learn about the disease his son had, and with the knowledge, cam awareness.</p> <p>It’s through awareness that we can make life changing decisions from our hearts.</p> <p>In conclusion, it’s important to acknowledge that none of us is perfect. But we are indeed perfectly capable of making improvements. </p> <p>The most important thing in the self-development process is to identify the areas that you need improvement and begin taking action towards it. </p> <p>Be willing to forgive yourself for the sake of growth and seek constant guidance from experts in the areas you need improvement.

      <title>Jill Coleman - Changing Your Lifestyle and Purpose Through Mindset</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jill-coleman-changing-your-lifestyle-and-purpose-through-mindset</link>
      <description>Jill Coleman Changing Your lifestyle, Purpose and Direction Through Mindset. 
  
 Joining me on the show today is Jill Coleman, an established mindset, lifestyle and nutrition coach.
 In the show  we cover Jill’s journey into the health and fitness industry, building her business brand and how she overcame the heartbreak and self-distraction after her divorce.
  
 Jill’s life path into Nutrition, Health and Fitness.
  Having played sports throughout her school years, Jill found herself on the losing side every once in a while. She not only got used to the feeling of defeat, but also found a way of getting over it and building a character and personality of resilience. 
 Passionate about the health and fitness niche, Jill taught her first group fitness class when she was just 16.
 In school, Jill was always into sports and athletics; from triathlons to avalons and marathons. But dancing was her biggest love.
 With time, Jill found herself hooked to the transformative power that healthy eating and exercise had in  changing a person’s physical outlook. This led her into winning a figure competition after losing a whopping 20 pounds. 
 What young Jill wasn’t aware of at the time, was the post competition blues. With numerous compliments, approvals and affirmations being sent her way after the win, Jill got used to her new environment only to find herself gaining 15 pounds in only 2 weeks. 
 What would follow was a 6 year roller coaster of losing and gaining 20-30 pounds every year. 
 Confused and depressed, Jill finally decided to make a stand and re-focus her attention into blogging as a way of curbing the need to have a perfect body. 
 She found her bliss through blogging everyday for 2 years and creating a nutritional philosophy of eating the same meal all year round.
   
 It’s all about your Mindset.
  A lot of people get into exercise and diet for the wrong reasons. 
 They don’t really know what they want. This has caused an epidemic of people obsessed with having the perfect body through over-exercising and wrong dieting. 
 Instead of being happy and grateful for achieving their goals, a lot of people only feel relief and the need to accomplish more goals.
 Social media has only magnified this through the constant portrayal of fitness junkies, as the perfect reflection of what success and happiness is. 
 Jill was a victim of this loop, but after shifting her attention and sense of purpose into her newly established business, she was able to pull through.
 As a mindset coach, Jill advises us to focus more on the process of achieving our goals, rather than the end result. It’s through this that we can accomplish much more than we had set out to. 
 Having battled through her own setbacks and adversities in exercise and business, Jill points out 3 tips to help us succeed in our business endeavors. 
   Consistency. People who dive into businesses and careers driven by a sense of urgency to make money only end up burnt and stressed out.
  Build a strong foundation of passion where you’re constantly driven to pursue excellence through practice and consistency. 
  Focus on the quality of the value you’re giving. Quantity begets Quality. With enough practice, anyone can become a pro in any business venture.
 Pull back the curtain and share your own struggles. This is a trust building formula of connecting with your audience. Being open and honest about your past and current struggles will help you bond with your audience at a personal level.
   
 How Jill Navigated through her marital infidelity. 
  Having been married for more than 10 years. It was heart-breaking for Jill to find out her husband was having an affair. 
 Jill plunged in helplessness and self-worth doubt when she discovered this. What followed was a destructive path of drinking, dating and working overtime to numb the pain. 
 Jill felt wronged, in pain and confused. 
 As much as she was justified to play the victim and point the finger, Jill decided otherwise and was able to transition through personal development and owning up. 
 Despite being in such a hard spot, she always believed in herself and the power to overcome the emotional wreck she had become. Jill was able to embrace and move past her marriage and divorce to her ex-husband.

      <title>Damon West - From Life in Prison to Becoming a Coffee Bean</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/damon-west-from-life-in-prison-to-becoming-a-coffee-bean</link>
      <description>This story is one of the most inspiring you will EVER hear.
 Sentenced to sixty-five years in a Texas prison, Damon West once had it all.
 Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, nationally known keynote speaker and best-selling author (with best-selling author and motivational speaker Jon Gordon) of The Coffee Bean: A simple Lesson to Create Positive Change. His first book and autobiography, The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World, was published just three years after his release from a Texas maximum-security prison.
 At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury. He turned to hard core drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign and eventually trained to be a stock-broker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.
 After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.
 Today, Damon lives a life of recovery and service, going to meetings and sharing his story all over the country with schools, church's, athletic teams, corporations, conferences and inside correctional facilities. Over the past few years, he has been sharing the Coffee Bean lesson with dozens of college football teams such as Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, and countless schools and businesses. His #BeACoffeeBean message has inspired thousands from Walmart to the NBA.
 Damon’s message connects with audiences on a level rarely before seen, as evidenced by the lengthy and thought-provoking Q&amp;A following each presentation. His ability to articulate his story is proof that sometimes they lock-up the right person.
 Damon’s story has been featured both nationally and globally. His second book, The Coffee Bean, co-authored with best-selling author Jon Gordon, became an instant best-seller and a part of Forbes’ “Top Twenty Books You Need to Read to Crush 2020.” Damon is passionate about the Coffee Bean message and loves sharing how it changed his life and how it can change yours, too. He is excited about the Coffee Bean Clubs that are being started by students at schools across the country.

His second book, The Coffee Bean, co-authored with best-selling author Jon Gordon, became an instant best-seller and a part of Forbes’ “Top Twenty Books You Need to Read to Crush 2020.” Damon is passionate about the Coffee Bean message and loves sharing how it changed his life and how it can change yours, too. He is excited about the Coffee Bean Clubs that are being started by students at schools across the country.

        <![CDATA[<p>This story is one of the most inspiring you will EVER hear.</p> <p><em>Sentenced to sixty-five years in a Texas prison, Damon West once had it all.</em></p> <p>Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, nationally known keynote speaker and best-selling author (with best-selling author and motivational speaker Jon Gordon) of <em>The Coffee Bean: A simple Lesson to Create Positive Change</em>. His first book and autobiography, <em>The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World</em>, was published just three years after his release from a Texas maximum-security prison.</p> <p>At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury. He turned to hard core drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign and eventually trained to be a stock-broker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.</p> <p>After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.</p> <p>Today, Damon lives a life of recovery and service, going to meetings and sharing his story all over the country with schools, church's, athletic teams, corporations, conferences and inside correctional facilities. Over the past few years, he has been sharing the Coffee Bean lesson with dozens of college football teams such as Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, and countless schools and businesses. His #BeACoffeeBean message has inspired thousands from Walmart to the NBA.</p> <p>Damon’s message connects with audiences on a level rarely before seen, as evidenced by the lengthy and thought-provoking Q&amp;A following each presentation.

      <title>David Sinclair - Modifying Our Lifestyle to Reverse Aging</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/david-sinclair-modifying-our-lifestyle-to-reverse-aging</link>
      <description>Dr. David Sinclair: Modifying Our Lifestyle to Reverse Aging 
  
 Today I’m incredibly honored to host Dr. David Sinclair. 
 David is a professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. He’s the author of New York’s Times best-seller Lifespan, a book with insights on why we age, and how we can slow and even reverse aging. A top innovator, David was in 2014, named on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and listed as Time's Top 50 in healthcare in 2018.
 David’s inspiration growing up
 David grew up with his grandmother, who was a constant believer in his abilities and always motivated him to set and shoot for his life-goals and he will always achieve them. 
 In an unfair world filled with cruel and mischievous people, David’s grandmother always reminded him to be grateful and generous where he could. To always do whatever he can to make the world a better place than it is.
 David owes a lot of current success and grit to this background and claims that every no one needs a positive environment of someone who believes in them, and they too can set to achieve greatness.
 Hormesis: Using exercise and healthy eating to fight aging.
 Being a trained geneticist, you’d think that David would vouch for DNA as the major contributing factor for your health and wellness destiny. But oh no, the key to this, David says is the epigenome 
 The epigenome is the real powerhouse and determinant of our lifestyle i.e how much we sleep, mental stress, physical fitness etc. 
 A study on identical twins held in Denmark supports this claim, with the findings suggesting that we only inherit from our parents 20% in terms of the predictability of our long-term health.
  
 The key to better physical and mental health and ultimately slow aging, David states, is through exercise and healthy eating. 
  As for exercise - do anything that gets your breathing level up for at least 15 minutes
  Exercising triggers the longevity genes which regulate the epigenome - which is in control of how we age.
  Healthy eating also triggers the epigenome, resulting in similar effects. 
   
 Healthy eating and numerous benefits of fasting. 
 It’s no surprise that what we eat is a big contributor of how our health turns out to be. However, what always seems to be left out, is how to eat.
  
 Having 3 meals a day and zero exercise has a reverse effect on your mind.Your brain loves being relaxed - just sitting down and having snacks is all you need - 
 By giving in to this kind of lifestyle, you’re sacrificing your body’s ability to fight diseases and aging. Because your body gets the message from the brain that it’s very safe and there’s plenty of security and food to eat. So you relax, and the defense modes switch off. It’s for this reason that obese people who don’t exercise, not only look older, but are actually older. 
  
 Fasting triggers the longevity genes as well. Through fasting, the body is tricked into thinking there isn’t enough resources to live on. Amino acids are also restricted and the epigenome is activated too.
  
 Types of foods David suggests you should take when fasting.
  You don’t want foods with a lot of sugar - as they make you get hungry faster
 Don’t be too rough on yourself - one milkshake isn’t bad (as long as you’re consistent)
 Best meal for him is a salad with a bit of olive oil on it or vinegar
 Protein is good in small amounts. 
 Green leafy vegetables and practice Hormesis i.e If your plants are stressed before you eat them you get the benefit. So you don’t have to do it yourself. You can eat plants;
   That have grown without much rain or water in the environment.
 With bugs on them
   
 Dr. David Sinclair’s Adversity - Growing from the failures and setbacks he’s been through
  
 There’s no way to be successful without massive amounts of adversity, criticisms, failures and mistakes, claims David. We don’t have all the answers, and aren’t perfect either.
  
 Failure is part of the journey. And as David shares his lowest point in life, he certainly owes a lot of his current progress and success as a result of embracing and his setbacks and learning from them.
 David saw his mom die in front of him, which was of course, a big blow to him, both emotionally and psychologically. But it’s the career setback he really digs into and narrates on the show.
 Close to the tip of being sacked and losing his reputation (which for scientists is everything) A 41 year old David was completely battered, beaten and destroyed.
  
 When he was 34 years old, David and his team had just uncovered a huge biological milestone through a breakthrough which seemed too easy and good to be true. And so they patented it.
 7 years down the line. David would face so much criticism from journalists and scientists, all of whom claimed that everything he had published on his breakthrough was false. And so the company that he had invested so much in, and received millions of dollars in donations for clinical trials was a hoodwink and based on lies.
  
 About half of David’s lab staff abandoned him, deeming his career over.
 All David could wonder was how it could all go soo wrong. How could it be that the very world he was trying to save, is now punching him in the face?
 There was nothing more to do. So he went to bed every night sad and depressed. 
 As time went by though, David decided not to quit. He decided he would put on a fight and prove all his doubters and critics wrong with proof and data.
 3 years later, and with the help of the loyal staff that remained, David solved the problem that had resulted in so many individuals misunderstanding and attacking his professional achievements. 
 Having published his findings in 2013, this put Dr. David and his team back on track into achieving the great  things they had set out to when they started.
  
 Don’t quit mentality
 Now 50, David knows that it never gets easier and the setbacks never stop. But for him, winners are the ones who decide to get back up as fast as possible and handle all the blocks and obstacles that are a normal part of life.
 Even till date, David still faces criticisms and hindrances from his colleagues, donors, newspaper and, and university. But now older, that he was, he’s wise enough to know that the challenges never get easier or end, you only get better and tougher.
  
 David’s thinking pattern is that humanity is in all these together. We’re all trying to work out and solve life’s big problems and challenges. And, so we must work together. This line of thought 
 has landed him into bad relationships with many scientists who try to remain as secretive as possible in matters regarding their research and findings. 
  
 In conclusion, David advises us to always have goals in our lives. When you’re low and in depression, and still lacking in goals, dreams and aspirations to look forward to. Then life hits you even harder. So set a goal, go for it, and don’t stop or give up on it until you get there!

You can eat plants;</li> </ul> <ol> <li>That have grown without much rain or water in the environment.</li> <li>With bugs on them</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>Dr. David Sinclair’s Adversity - Growing from the failures and setbacks he’s been through</p> <p> </p> <p><em>There’s no way to be successful without massive amounts of adversity, criticisms, failures and mistakes</em>, claims David. <em>We don’t have all the answers, and aren’t perfect either.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p>Failure is part of the journey. And as David shares his lowest point in life, he certainly owes a lot of his current progress and success as a result of embracing and his setbacks and learning from them.</p> <p>David saw his mom die in front of him, which was of course, a big blow to him, both emotionally and psychologically. But it’s the career setback he really digs into and narrates on the show.</p> <p>Close to the tip of being sacked and losing his reputation (which for scientists is everything) A 41 year old David was completely battered, beaten and destroyed.</p> <p> </p> <p>When he was 34 years old, David and his team had just uncovered a huge biological milestone through a breakthrough which seemed too easy and good to be true. And so they patented it.</p> <p>7 years down the line. David would face so much criticism from journalists and scientists, all of whom claimed that everything he had published on his breakthrough was false. And so the company that he had invested so much in, and received millions of dollars in donations for clinical trials was a hoodwink and based on lies.</p> <p> </p> <p>About half of David’s lab staff abandoned him, deeming his career over.</p> <p>All David could wonder was how it could all go soo wrong. How could it be that the very world he was trying to save, is now punching him in the face?</p> <p>There was nothing more to do. So he went to bed every night sad and depressed. </p> <p>As time went by though, David decided not to quit. He decided he would put on a fight and prove all his doubters and critics wrong with proof and data.</p> <p>3 years later, and with the help of the loyal staff that remained, David solved the problem that had resulted in so many individuals misunderstanding and attacking his professional achievements. </p> <p>Having published his findings in 2013, this put Dr. David and his team back on track into achieving the great  things they had set out to when they started.</p> <p> </p> <p>Don’t quit mentality</p> <p>Now 50, David knows that it never gets easier and the setbacks never stop. But for him, winners are the ones who decide to get back up as fast as possible and handle all the blocks and obstacles that are a normal part of life.</p> <p>Even till date, David still faces criticisms and hindrances from his colleagues, donors, newspaper and, and university. But now older, that he was, he’s wise enough to know that the challenges never get easier or end, you only get better and tougher.</p> <p> </p> <p>David’s thinking pattern is that humanity is in all these together. We’re all trying to work out and solve life’s big problems and challenges. And, so we must work together. This line of thought </p> <p>has landed him into bad relationships with many scientists who try to remain as secretive as possible in matters regarding their research and findings. </p> <p> </p> <p>In conclusion, David advises us to always have goals in our lives. When you’re low and in depression, and still lacking in goals, dreams and aspirations to look forward to. Then life hits you even harder. So set a goal, go for it, and don’t stop or give up on it until you get there!</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Dr. David Sinclair </p> <p>Website - <a href="https://lifespanbook.com/">https://lifespanbook.com/</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/davidasinclair">https://twitter.com/davidasinclair</a></p> <p>LinkedIn -  <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinclairda/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinclairda/</a></p> <p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd/?hl=en</a></p> <p>Lifespan on Amazon - <a href="https://amzn.to/2BFribo">https://amzn.to/2BFribo</a></p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p>More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst">www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst</a></p> <p>Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order</p> <p> </p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Danette May - Stepping Into Self love Through Healing</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/danette-may-stepping-into-self-love-through-healing</link>
      <description>Today I sit down with holistic healing health icon Danette May. We spoke about her journey, the power of forgiveness, nutrition and all things adversity. Danette is the founder of Mindful Health LLC, Earth Echo Foods and The Rise movement. She is a world-renowned motivational speaker, author of The Rise and other health and women's empowerment books, former celebrity fitness trainer, wife, and mother.   Since 2011, she has helped transform the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives of millions of people around the world by focusing on healing foods, healing movement, and a healing mind.
 Her journey was inspired after losing her son during childbirth, getting divorced, and nearly becoming bankrupt and homeless, all one after the other. It was then that she decided to stop being a victim, and rewrite her story. She began to focus on the three pillars of healing – healing foods, healing movement, and a healing mindset.

      <title>Dean Graziosi - Using the Underdog Mindset to Overcome Life's Challenges</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dean-graziosi-using-the-underdog-mindset-to-overcome-lifes-challenges</link>
      <description>My guest on the show today is the legendary Dean Graziosi. Serial entrepreneur, multiple New York Times best selling author and all round great guy. 
 Our main theme of discussion today is being the beacon of light and hope in the current pandemic ridden times. 
 Having experienced 4 downmarkets himself, Dean understands that it’s completely normal and human to feel insecure and worried over what tomorrow brings. 
 But instead of focusing on the negative side of the pandemic, we should focus on the bright side. So many individuals have always wanted extra time to work on their lives and start that new online business or learn that new skill, the funny part about all of these, is that so many of these individuals are either stuck on their seats stressing over what’s on the news, or aimlessly giving in to their impulses to drink and eat heavily. 
 Just like the last recession and the great depression, this too shall pass. And the question that we should all reflect on, is what kind of person we’re going to be on the other side.
 Will you have:
 Gained extra capabilities and made something good out of the opportunities that are sprouting as a result of the pandemic
 Or 
 Remain dormant &amp; pessimistic, and be the one to miss it all when it’s all over
 Everyone right now, starting from our close friends and family members, are in dire need of leadership, inspiration and a role model to look up to.
 They need you to step up and be the one to guide them through this tough, unfamiliar territory. So that when it’s all over, they’ll look back and remember that you’re the one who took the initiative to be creative and innovative, creating a safe haven for them when everything was going to hell.
 If history is anything to go by, out of the ashes of the fire that’s burning, new industries and businesses will arise and strive. There’ll certainly be more wealthy people made out of this pandemic too.
 A close friend of Dean recently told him a story of two restaurants quarter a mile apart from each other that had to shut down as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. 
 While one of the owners got extremely mad and began pointing fingers and blaming everyone; from China, to the government and the president. The owners of the other restaurant took to restructuring their restaurant the weekend that they were closed. They made it in such a way that the cooks could cook in different distanced places. Later on they made a shelter for a drive through so that customers could pull in and place their orders.
 Right now, one restaurant is still shut down, with a bitter and mad owner. The other restaurant business on the other hand is making 3 times the amount of sales and profits that they’ve ever made in their entire life.
 5 years from now, one owner will complain that his business was thriving until Covid-19 shut him down, while the other wonder will testify that his business was doing ok until Covid-19 came along and now he owns 6 restaurants. 
 While one individual focused on finding a solution and innovating his way through the obstacles brought by the pandemic, the other one focused and obsessed on who moved his cheese, and demanding it back.
 All the massively successful individuals in our modern times and history, lacked resources
 They lacked resources, but learned to be massively resourceful. 
 A lot of individuals claim that what’s holding them back from success is lack of financial resources, supportive family members, better staff etc. But the sad and simple truth is that what they truly lack is resourcefulness. 
 In life, you should learn to embrace the struggles that you go through. All of your setbacks, failures, and challenges are just setting you up for your greatest comeback!
 The underdog lifestyle that you’re going through is a gift to help you get through and navigate new territories and be bulletproof.
 All it takes is changing your mindset and looking at things from a different angle. Learn to make your disadvantages, critics, and the power of being resourceful over having resources as the fuel to drive you into success. 
 A lot of people see Dean and praise him for being so lucky to have come so far and achieved so much. 
 They see him in great shape and thank his genetics. They see what a wonderful wife and disciplined kids and count him as the luckiest family man. 
 What they don’t see however is him waking up at 5 in the morning to exercise in the gym 
 How he worked on himself and saw a coach in order to change who he was and attract the right life partner. 
 The several parenting books he’s read and counsellor he’s seen for 3 years in order to be a great dad. 
 A lot of our subconscious tend to protect us from this reality. All we see is success, but not the determination, obsession and habits that had to be put in in order for other people’s success to manifest in their lives. 
 From this story. Dean encourages us to focus on how we can best use our resources to overcome and prosper in the current environment that has affected everyone and all businesses globally. 
 Focusing on what could go wrong and our disadvantages won’t help solve anything. Instead, we should focus on what could go right, and how we can flip the odds back to our advantage

Instead, we should focus on what could go right, and how we can flip the odds back to our advantage </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Dean Graziosi</p> <p>Website - <a href="https://www.deangraziosi.com/">https://www.deangraziosi.com/</a></p> <p>Facebook - <a href="https://web.facebook.com/deangraziosipage/">https://web.facebook.com/deangraziosipage/</a> </p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/deangraziosi">https://twitter.com/deangraziosi</a></p> <p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deangraziosi/">https://www.instagram.com/deangraziosi/</a></p> <p>YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/deangraziosi/featured">https://www.youtube.com/user/deangraziosi/featured</a></p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Johnny Elsasser - A Special Operations Take On Masculinity</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/johnny-elsasser-a-special-operations-talk-on-masculinity</link>
      <description>Today on the show, I had my dear friend Johnny Elsasser on to talk about his journey through the elite special operations military system. He was forced to rediscover his identity after leaving the military. This included dropping his ego from the alpha male environment in which he was used to succeeding, doing the internal work and learning the true meaning of masculinity. We spoke at length on his transformation and how he is using his lessons to help other men.
 Johnny Elsasser is a former Special Operations U.S. Army Ranger with four combat tours between Iraq and Afghanistan and another 5 years protecting the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq in Baghdad. Johnny has seen the field of masculinity through extreme alpha perspectives and knows the trials and tribulations the toughest men deal with day to day. Johnny's mission is to help men find strength in developing masculinity to be consistent with who they are and not what society expects them to be. Johnny has shifted his fight to advocating and supporting alpha males in finding their own masculinity and purpose as a man in society today. He is the host of the top rated podcast, The Art of Masculinity where he provides insights from himself and others on how to have men live their best lives through authenticity, vulnerability and credibility.

      <title>Felicia Romero - The Hard Truth Behind Being a Cover Model</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/felicia-romero-the-hard-truth-behind-being-a-cover-model</link>
      <description>This week I sit down with cover model turned mindset coach and podcast host, Felicia Romero. Felicia shares the “ugly truth" of being a fitness model including body shaming, self sabotage and the deadly comparison trap.  She reveals how a toxic relationship with herself set the stage for abusive relationships with men until a major wake up call caused her to start looking within and catapulted her on a a healing journey.   We traced her unhealthy relationships with food, men, her body and herself back to her childhood.  Thankfully for her and others, it all led to her own personal transformation and most importantly to her helping others overcome the same hurdles she faced with her "Diet Dropout Podcast.”  Listen as she shares step by step how she overcame the battle within herself and then turned it into a set of tools to help others.

      <title>Dr. Will Cole - Leveraging Functional Medicine as a Tool for Healthier and Happier Living</title>

      <description>Leveraging Functional Medicine as a tool for healthier and happier living. 
 Welcome back to the show everyone, today’s guest is someone that I’ve been wanting to talk to for quite a while now. Given my passion into the holistic approaches towards health and wellness, Dr. Will Cole is undoubtedly one of the most experienced and educated individuals in the field of Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
 Dr. Will Cole, is a leading functional medicine expert, who specializes in clinically investigating the underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders and brain problems.
 Distinctive from modern medicine’s style of the sick-care approach where there’s an emphasis on treating the symptoms, Dr. Will Cole, as a functional medic, takes a more health-care approach and provides his patients with advice and treatment after diagnosing the root problem based on their unique biological make up.
 Functional Medicine - Common causes of inflammation and what you can do to minimize it.
 You can’t talk about metabolic, autoimmune and mental issues without bringing in the underlying factor that is chronic inflammation.
 What drives inflammation in one person is different from what drives inflammation in another person. Thus, inflammation is a commonality, and not a causation.
 In his latest book The Inflammation Spectrum, Dr. Will Cole , through his extensive research and experience, takes a deeper dive into how we can naturally balance our immune system. He suggests that we can mitigate and calm inflammation by reducing our intake of the four core causes of inflammation. These include;
  Grains
 Dairy
 Sugar
 Industrial seed oils
  Alongside the four major causes, there are also four other sub-categories which include;
  Nuts and seeds
 Legumes
 Eggs
 Nightshades
   Other common non-food causes of inflammation include;
  Stress
 Lack of enough sleep
 Social isolation
 Increased screen time
 Social media
  What goes on in your gastric system is also a big contributor to how imbalanced or balanced your body is. Viral infections, heavy metal toxicity and lymes are some of the most common causes of inflammation in your gut.
 So what does Dr. Will Cole suggest we do to reduce inflammation?
 The biggest step we can take is to minimize or completely eradicate our intake of the four core causes of inflammation. This alongside, increasing our input of healthy fats such as avocados, extra virgin oil, coconuts and pasteurized eggs is a sure way of reducing our chances of getting inflammation.
 There’s no denying the link between our mind, body and wellness.
 At the end of the day, what really counts is our head space. Renegotiating the relationship with ourselves, the present moment we live in and what we want from life contributes a big part to our mental well being.
 Dr. Will Cole also suggests that activities that calm our mind and increase our self awareness such as meditation, nature time and self reflection are some of the daily practices we should learn to make a habit out of.
 We ought to use self care as a form of self-respect. Love and respect yourself enough to eat and engage in activities that are only good for you.
 The light and grace that we receive after realizing our true value and strength is the genesis of sustainable wellness. Love yourself enough to settle for nothing less than what improves your mental and physical well being.

Love yourself enough to settle for nothing less than what improves your mental and physical well being.</p> <p>Connect with Dr. Cole</p> <p>Website - <a href="https://drwillcole.com/">https://drwillcole.com/</a></p> <p>Facebook -  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/doctorwillcole/">https://www.facebook.com/doctorwillcole/</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/drwillcole">https://twitter.com/drwillcole</a></p> <p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drwillcole/">https://www.instagram.com/drwillcole/</a></p> <p>Youtube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/DrWillCole">https://www.youtube.com/user/DrWillCole</a></p> <p>Amazon</p> <p>The Inflammation Spectrum - <a href="https://amzn.to/2yPPeb9">https://www.amazon.com/Inflammation-Spectrum-Triggers-Reset-System-ebook/dp/B07NX21BFW</a></p> <p>Ketotarian - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ketotarian-Mostly-Plant-Based-Cravings-Inflammation-ebook/dp/B079KTQFN2/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&amp;qid=1589141915&amp;refinements=p_27%3AWill+Cole&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-6"> https://www.amazon.com/Ketotarian-Mostly-Plant-Based-Cravings-Inflammation-ebook/dp/B079KTQFN2/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&amp;qid=1589141915&amp;refinements=p_27%3AWill+Cole&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-6</a></p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>4 Lessons Learned From The Depths of Despair</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/4-lessons-learned-from-the-depths-of-despair</link>
      <description>This past Tuesday (Cinco de Mayo), I celebrated 12 years since my arrest. Every year, I take time to reflect on that day to unpack how far I have come and practice gratitude that that day literally saved my life. Without it, I wouldn't be hosting this podcast, have written the books or been able to help as many people as I have. 
 Today, I unveil the top 4 things that have helped me get through. If you have been following me through the years, they will sound familiar:
 1. Self Awareness
 2. Movement
 3. Inner Circle
 4. Gratitude
 Listen in as I get deep on each of these subjects and give you real time advice on how you can apply them into your situation right now to help you become your best self!

      <title>Todd Durkin - How to Get Your Mind Right!</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/todd-durkin-how-to-get-your-mind-right</link>
      <description>Today I sit down with my dear friend and mentor Todd Durkin. I first met Todd in 2012 at his Mentorship program, and that event literally changed my life. Since that time, I also attended Todd’s Mastermind program, and my success both professionally and personally skyrocketed since attending both programs. Listen, as we go deep into Todd’s story about the many obstacles he has overcome in life. Such as, how he overcame being raised in a divorced home, how he severely injured his back and overcame an addiction to Vicodin, which ultimately shattered his dreams of playing football professionally. Through all of this pain, Todd went on a personal journey of healing by seeking out mentors, developing personal and professional friendships, and ultimately finding his purpose in life. This led to Todd becoming one of the world’s most well-known and respected trainers and thought leaders.
 Todd's Bio: 
 Todd Durkin, MA, CSCS, is an internationally recognized strength, speed and conditioning coach, personal trainer, body worker, motivational speaker, and author who motivates, educates, and inspires people worldwide. He is the founder of Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego, CA, a world-class facility that provides personal training, strength and conditioning, therapeutic massage and bodywork, Pilates, yoga, nutrition, chiropractic and physical therapy programs.
 Todd works with a high-profile clientele of elite professional athletes. This includes NFL MVPs, Super Bowl Champions and MVPs, Heisman Trophy Winner, Olympic and X-Game Gold Medalists, and many other champion athletes. He is a 2 Time Personal Trainer of the Year (IDEA &amp; ACE) and has received numerous industry accolades. Greatist has named Todd one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Health &amp; Fitness for the past four years.
 His gym, Fitness Quest 10, was named one of “America’s Top 10 Gyms” by Men’s Health for the past 5 years, and in addition to high-profile athletes, attracts many fitness enthusiasts of all ages, shapes, sizes, and levels who want to improve their overall health and fitness performance. His team of 38 trainers, coaches, and therapists deliver results to over 500 clients weekly.
 Todd has appeared on 60 Minutes, ESPN, the NFL Network and has been featured in Sports Illustrated, USA Today, Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, ESPN the Magazine, Stack Magazine, the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and many others. He was also featured trainer on NBC’s hit fitness show STRONG.
 Through Todd Durkin Enterprises, Todd and his staff provide motivational and educational programs and team-building events to companies and conferences worldwide. Some of these companies include Under Armour, Gatorade, The Ken Blanchard Companies, YPO, Wells Fargo, Bath &amp; Body Works, Cal-a-Vie Resort &amp; Spa, the Golden Door, IMG, USMA, UCSD, UBS Warburg, Quest Ventures, Behr Paints, Kaiser Permanente, Torrey Pines Bank, Administrative Professionals, Life Care Solutions, and the San Diego Chargers.
 Todd earned his BS degree in Kinesiology from The College of William &amp; Mary in Virginia and his MA degree in Exercise &amp; Nutritional Science with a specialty in Biomechanics and Sports Medicine from San Diego State University.

      <title>Melissa Martin and Sandy Vo - How Adversity and Hardship Creates Alignment</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/melissa-and-sandy-how-adversity-and-hardship-creates-alignment</link>
      <description>In today's episode, I sit down with Melissa Martin and Sandy Vo, co-founders and creators of Ladies Aligned. We got deep into both of their stories, how they met and how tough times can lead to becoming more connected. Their Ladies Aligned community provides women with unwavering support, devotion and commitment to growth for everyone that is involved. They are on a mission to help women live their best lives so they can build an empire and have massive impact. 
 More about Melissa Martin:
 I am a wealth-mindset &amp; business expert. Multi-passionate entrepreneur &amp; network marketer, public speaker, writer and the host of the  Boldly Courageous podcast.
 After 15 years of experience working in the financial service industry i found myself unemployed and in over $100k of debt. Feeling as though i had hit rock bottom and contemplating bankruptcy, i made the decision to dive into personal development work.
 I hired coaches. Took courses &amp; attended several leadership seminars to finally connect to the truth of who I am. A person who's value is more than just her net worth.
 All of those experiences have paved the way to where i am currently. Running multiple businesses and living a life filled with purpose. I thrive on helping women transform. Teaching them how to birth a new money mindset &amp; discover their self worth.
 More about Sandy Vo:
 I'm your modern day meditation teacher. Public speaker. Conscious branding biz strategist. Host of the dear self &amp; co. Podcast and co-founder of ladies aligned.
 After living with crippling depression and anxiety, learning the practice of meditation through the guidance of a meditation master has helped to transform my life.
 Drawing upon my own experiences of healing through burn out &amp; mental dis-ease. My calling is to trailblaze the path for women leaders to find joy in the home within themselves.
 My mission is to help more women forge the way to honor their highest expression through sacred self-care.
 I am a creative visionary who now serves in multiple conscious businesses guiding purpose-driven women to slow down. Connect to their gifts and thrive in life. Business &amp; relationships. I believe the whole universe exists in that sweet spot where your gifts are.

      <title>Dr Mcayla - Surviving Triggers, Trauma and Toxicity During the Pandemic</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dr-mcayla-surviving-triggers-trauma-and-toxicity-during-the-pandemic</link>
      <description>The pandemic is bringing forth lots of changes and challenges for everyone. One challenge that is not being talked about nearly enough is mental health. So, this week I sit down with psychotherapist and EMDR specialist Dr. Mcayla.  We chat about navigating the quarantine from a mental health perspective as well as handling triggers, trauma and toxicity. She shares her compelling story of how she got involved in this line of work as well as discussing a lot of the "buzz words" we hear when it comes to mental health.   Dr Mcayla provides easy and efficient tips that can be implemented during this time to make sure that we are keeping our mental health in check.  She also provides insight on how much our past dictates the way we handle situations in the present as well explaining how to "do the work" so that we can reprogram ourselves on a subconscious level and be freer from our childhood blueprints.   Dr Mcayla is a Licensed Psychotherapist, a Brain Training and MindSet Expert and Certified EMDR Specialist but also just a person who is extremely passionate about what she does and helping people to live better lives. Now, for those of you who are not familiar with EMDR, it’s not just a fancy name for some “New Age” therapy rather, an amazing cutting edge form of treatment to help people reprocess Core Beliefs and is the inspiration behind much of the work she does today.

      <title>Chris and Heidi Powell - The Secrets to True Transformation</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/chris-and-heidi-powell-the-secrets-to-true-transformation</link>
      <description>Today I have the honour of hosting a couple that is without a doubt one of the most profound life transformers on the planet.  Their impact can be felt globally through their ‘Transform App’ and ABC show ‘Extreme Weight Loss’ They are Chris and Heidi Powell. 
 However, in today’s show, our main focus won’t be on their success, but rather on their adversity journey. The trials and tribulations they’ve had to encounter and fight through in order to be who they are today. 
 Numbing the pain and suffering with Vicodin – Chris’ background story.
 In 2006. A young Chris was pumped up with big dreams on how he wanted to make a difference and impact on people’s lives. This saw him invent a nutrition product, which he’d later on patent and borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund. Chris then outsourced the manufacture of his product in China. Soon enough, he was going to start making an impact.
 This however, was never meant to be. When his product finally arrived from China. It was not at all what he had in mind. Its quality and design were all wrong and of poor quality. This broke Chris mentally. He would soon after this, develop an anxiety disorder.
 When it rains, it showers. Two months prior to the failure of Chris’ dream Nutrition product. He had a back-disc problem which saw the doctor prescribe Vicodin as a way of numbing the physical pain. When his investment tumbled into pieces, and Chris was emotional and psychologically broken, he found out that Vicodin was not only a remedy to his physical pain, but his emotional pain as well.
 Thus, began an addiction journey that would last two years.
 Chris totally withdrew from the world. He never wanted to be around people unless he was high on Vicodin. It was all grey clouds and loneliness when he was alone and sober. But under the influence of Vicodin, Chris would change to all smiles and life of the party.
 Chris convinced himself that no one wanted the boring sober Chris. Alongside his closest and most caring companions who were also drug addicts, Chris built his entire lifestyle under this philosophy.
 And, because he was deep in debt and totally broke because of his newly found addiction. Chris’ friend, who was hooked on oxytocin allowed him to stay with him rent free.
 A new start
 Chris’ roommate leant towards suboxone as a way of trying to fix his addiction on oxytocin. What resulted was a traumatic experience of Chris driving his nearly dead roommate to hospital in order to be treated.
 Driving back home. Chris couldn’t help but reflect on the events that nearly took his roommate’s life.
 Constant reflection and self-examination would see a broken Chris seek refuge in a neighbour’s house for 2 weeks, where he solely underwent his detoxification.  
  
 Heidi’s story.
 Newly divorced, and still suffering from her own personal issues and insecurities, Heidi found herself searching for fulfilment in other people through relationships and connections.
 Heidi was ever scared of being left alone to her thoughts, which would always torment her because she knew she would always have to face the truths and facts in her broken life.
 Heidi was a people pleaser and couldn’t say no to any requests, because she was afraid of being deemed valueless by ones she turned down.  
 She would later on go to see her therapist because of the identity crisis she underwent after the divorce with her husband. Her therapist suggested that she attends a self-improvement seminar as a way of fixing herself.
  
 Meeting Chris
 To deal with her personal identity problem, Heidi decided to attend the entire seminar with no makeup on.
 While at the seminar fate would have her bump into Chris, who Heidi was not even in the tiniest bit interested in.
 What followed after their first encounter at the seminar was a string of communication between the two. The following day, after Chris granted her a present in the form of his Nutrition idea to make a difference in people's lives, Heidi couldn’t help but feel Chris’s dream to help people and make a positive impact worldwide. They only kept getting closer and understanding each other from that moment. Heidi knew she could help Chris get to where he wanted, whilst Chris taught Heidi that it’s ok to have dreams that you want to achieve in life.
 While he was still recovering from his addictions and loss in the once gigantic self-confidence and belief he had in himself, Heidi believed in Chris until he was able to believe in himself again.
  
 You’re definitely in for an inspiring ride in today’s interview. Stay tuned and find out more about the obstacles that Chris and Heidi have gone through in their lives, and how it has helped shape them to be the victors they are today. Get to also find out about how Chris started his ABC Show ‘Extreme Weight Loss’ and what personal strategies and philosophies that has propelled their success in every project they’ve undertaken.

 Quotes
  I was oblivious of my constant reliance on Vicodin. I cherry picked all the reasons why I should be doing what I was doing. Because deep down inside, i didn’t think I could live without it - Chris on his early addiction and dependence on Vicodin

 I built a support system of friends who were drug addicts. Some of the most amazing, wonderful, caring and loving people I’ve ever known in my life, and we were all drug addicts. We kept feeding ourselves that story (that we’re nothing without the drugs) to feed our addictions and keep us going.  
 I found myself, because of my own issues and insecurities, searching for fulfilment in other people. I tried to numb the pain that I had been through with relationships and connections.
 Whether good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. You build your identity around a foundation, even if there’s major cracks in it. - Heidi on building her identity around the foundation of her first marriage although it was toxic for her. 
 I lost all of the belief that I had in myself and Heidi believed in me, until I could learn to believe in myself again. And that saved my life. 
 If you’re a trainer and you want to create change in someone’s life, whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional, the bottom-line is they don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
 And this goes across the board. The one thing that we’re trying to achieve over time, is getting our clients to believe in themselves, and their abilities. And the vehicle that we use to get there is integrity. This involves starting every big transformation journey very small.
   
 Quotes from the lessons Chris learnt from his addiction experience.
  I realized that I was not invincible. I now understood how easy it is for anyone to slip into an addiction. 
 I learned how to take responsibility for the choices that I make. Addiction got the best of me because I wouldn’t take responsibility for my choices and actions.
 All humans must have a purpose in life. If I have no purpose, then my vices will get the best of me.

I cherry picked all the reasons why I should be doing what I was doing. Because deep down inside, i didn’t think I could live without it - <em>Chris on his early addiction and dependence on Vicodin</em>
</li> <li>I built a support system of friends who were drug addicts. Some of the most amazing, wonderful, caring and loving people I’ve ever known in my life, and we were all drug addicts. We kept feeding ourselves that story (<em>that we’re nothing without the drugs</em>) to feed our addictions and keep us going.  </li> <li>I found myself, because of my own issues and insecurities, searching for fulfilment in other people. I tried to numb the pain that I had been through with relationships and connections.</li> <li>Whether good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. You build your identity around a foundation, even if there’s major cracks in it. - Heidi on building her identity around the foundation of her first marriage although it was toxic for her. </li> <li>I lost all of the belief that I had in myself and Heidi believed in me, until I could learn to believe in myself again. And that saved my life. </li> <li>If you’re a trainer and you want to create change in someone’s life, whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional, the bottom-line is they don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.</li> <li>And this goes across the board. The one thing that we’re trying to achieve over time, is getting our clients to believe in themselves, and their abilities. And the vehicle that we use to get there is integrity. This involves starting every big transformation journey very small.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Quotes from the lessons Chris learnt from his addiction experience.</p> <ul> <li>I realized that I was not invincible. I now understood how easy it is for anyone to slip into an addiction. </li> <li>I learned how to take responsibility for the choices that I make. Addiction got the best of me because I wouldn’t take responsibility for my choices and actions.</li> <li>All humans must have a purpose in life. If I have no purpose, then my vices will get the best of me.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Chris and Heidi Powell</p> <p> </p> <p>Website - <a href="https://transformhq.com/">https://transformhq.com/</a> </p> <p>Facebook - <a href="https://web.facebook.com/TheTransformApp/">https://web.facebook.com/TheTransformApp/</a></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTransformApp">https://twitter.com/TheTransformApp</a></p> <p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/TheTransformApp/">https://www.instagram.com/TheTransformApp/</a></p> <p>Pinterest - <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/TheTransformApp/"> https://www.pinterest.com/TheTransformApp/</a></p> <p>The Transform app - <a href="https://transformhq.com/the-transform-app/">https://transformhq.com/the-transform-app/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Doug</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dougbopst/">@dougbopst</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbopst/">Doug Bopst</a></p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.dougbopst.com/">www.dougbopst.com/gift</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Miss Jordan: Unlocking the Key to Spirituality</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/miss-jordan-unlocking-the-key-to-spirituality</link>
      <description>Hope you’re all doing alright despite the current global pandemic we’re all going through. Joining me on the show is Miss Jordan, a Divine Channel and free-spirited spiritual facilitator. Her purpose is to help humanity awaken to an elevated way of being. She’s also a soul transformation and mindset breakthrough coach who takes pride in helping people activate their online dormant DNA.
 I met Miss Jordan while at a mastermind retreat, where she put us through an awakening exercise that made me think more about spirituality than I usually do.
 In the show, we get into how there’s a lot of propaganda and spiritual bypassing surrounding the theme of Spiritual awakening. From the online gurus to spiritual teachers, there’s a lot of individuals out there who boast of the fact that they vibrate at a higher frequency than everyone else. Miss Jordan gives us her own opinion of what it really means to be spiritually woke, and the individual power that comes with it.
 Sleeper Living
 In the world we live in, it’s very common for a lot of people to react to the social conditions and settings they’re in. Such people tend to be less self-aware, barely take the chance to pause and reflect on the current situation before they respond to it. Such individuals are the sleeper living.
 To be more self-aware, means that we should all take a step back and weigh our options on how we can best handle a situation before we merely let our thought, emotions and opinions on the situation.
 Reflecting on the emotions of love and fear in regards to the situation at hand can greatly help us control our reaction towards different situations.
 The role of all our experiences  
 Accepting all our experiences, whether past or present, good or bad, is vital into our self-awareness and ultimately spiritual growth.
 A lot of individuals through advice from third parties try to rewrite or dismiss traumatic childhood experiences that have left them scared for life. Freedom however, is in the total opposite of this.
 We should learn to embrace and understand our past. How our past and current negatives experiences such as depression, addiction and trauma affect us is dependent on how we choose to reflect, view, perceive and respond to it. It is only by doing so that we can choose our desired outcome from the experience.
 Miss Jordan’s Journey
 Miss Jordan had a tough start in life. Her identity was based on her opinion of how she should act and behave in order for people to like and accept her.
 She was stuck in this self-prison for the most part of her life growing up. This, however, all changed when she decided to dive into self-development as a way to be her true self.
 Miss Jordan realised that she was slowly redefining her life and reality by surrounding herself more with people, places and ideas that created the thoughts and emotions that she cherished. As she took a deeper dive into herself and her experiences, Miss Jordan found herself drawn towards helping other people with difficulties such as the ones she experienced earlier on in her life.
 And so, it was really never a choice that she made on being a spiritual teacher or helper. All Miss Jordan did was be her best self through self-reflection and understanding. It was this practice that led her to the path that she’s currently on.
 Stay tuned in the show as I also share my past personal experience into how I escaped the rabbit hole of a hard past life characterised by drugs and negative emotions. My decision to make a stand and change into a more reflective person and how it all saved me from a fate that was most certainly an early grave.

 Quotes
  If you enter into the world of self – discovery and spirituality from a centre grounded space of pure intention of understanding your belief system and the energy you emit to the world, you can’t help but start to live in a little bit of a different reality and carry a higher energy frequency.
 You can call it enlightened, woke, or whatever word you want to place on it. But basically, I think it all comes down to creating an awareness of self and the world your experiencing. This alongside, staying committed to a desire to discover and understand more.
 It’s the small commitment to being relentless in understanding the truth of who you are on a soul level and designing how you choose to experience your life.
 You can only align with the frequency that you project.
 The key is creating an awareness around the fact that it’s about self-alchemy and self-love vs seeking a solution outside yourself. Books, resources and other tools are great, but they’re only aids to our own self-discovery and creation.
 I’ve had all kinds of titles, A seer, medium, witch. I don’t preach a spiritual belief system of one understanding. I believe there’s a higher power, and whatever you want to call it – you higher self, God divinity, the universe – I believe it’s all the same essence. Its just we us individuals view this essence through different lens.
 Everything is energy, once you realise this, then you can choose the frequency in which you want your energy to align with other energies.

      <title>Rob Kowalski: Why Waiting Works</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/rob-kowalski-why-waiting-works</link>
      <description>In today's episode we go deep on a subject of "adversity" that is not talked about too much, sex. Not so much the sex itself, but why it can be extremely beneficial to wait until you have found someone you want to spend the rest of your life with to have it. 
 Rob Kowalski has gone a complete 180 and went from one of the most sought out male strippers and entertainers to someone who has been abstinent from sex for over 6+ years until he finds the one he wants to marry. Listen in as he talks about his rock bottom moment, practical reasons why waiting does work and his mission and vision behind the organization he co-founded, CityFam. Whether or not you agree with him on the subject, I think everyone will get some value out of this. His video on waiting to have sex before marriage is the number one most viewed on YouTube in its category.
 Bio:
 Rob is a self-proclaimed reformed bad boy. Once the biggest stripper and nightclub promoter in his hometown of Baltimore, he had a radical life-changing encounter with Jesus that transformed him forever. His testimony from life of excess to redemption has inspired millions of people from around the world already. His mess has become his message.

      <title>Tara Kemp: Healing the Inner Child Through Nutrition</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/tara-kemp-healing-the-inner-child-through-nutrition-0</link>
      <description>On today's episode, I sit down with mental health coach and self love expert, Tara Kemp. Tara's story really intrigued me as she has experienced true transformation of her relationship with herself and food and now is helping to inspire others to do the same. Her wisdom and knowledge with doing the "inner work" is something that is extremely inspiring and can be easily be implemented. We spoke about loving yourself and embracing the good along with the bad and why it's important. We also dive into the buzz word of "Inner Child," how it relates to nutrition and healing and also how what you put in your body is a direct reflection of your love and compassion for yourself. You will learn through all of this that connection through mind, body and spirit is crucial for healing.
 Tara's Bio:
 I’m a health and lifestyle coach, mental health advocate, self-love expert, writer, researcher, and speaker.
 I’m all about helping you to find a healthy relationship with yourself. I’m here to support you in doing the inner work: exploring who you are and building self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion.
 I believe in the beauty of our wholeness. This means that I guide you to embrace your dark parts just as much as your light. I help you to release the stories that keep you small so that you can step into your full power.
 Intertwined into all of this is your relationship with your body and with food. As a society, we are largely disconnected from both. But both are incredibly important components in the venn diagram of your overall health and wellness.
 I’ve worked in the fields of nutrition and lifestyle medicine for 7 years. But while I still care deeply about nutrition, over the past few years I’ve shifted my focus to mental and emotional health. 
 I discovered that the problem usually isn’t a lack of education around how to eat or live healthfully. There is certainly a lot of confusion and conflicting opinions about “what to eat,” but ultimately, the science clearly shows that eating more plant foods and less refined/processed foods is associated with better health. It’s also well-known that moving your body, keeping stress levels low, and keeping a consistent sleep routine are also important.
 Most people know what they want to do for themselves, the struggle is just in actually doing it. The complexity and challenges that hold you back from executing what you know is best for you come from the psychological and emotional world in which you live inside your mind. 
 In order to be sustainable, lifestyle change must be founded in self-love. When you heal your relationship with yourself, you lay the foundation for true inner peace.
 I am here to witness your journey. To hold space for you as you move through it. To inspire you to ask the tough questions. To be a guiding light helping you to trust that the work is worth the outcome, even when you can’t see it up ahead. To help you look at yourself with acceptance and unconditional love.

      <title>Chris Harder - How to Survive and Thrive During the Corona Virus</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/chris-harder-how-to-survive-and-thrive-during-the-corona-virus</link>
      <description>In this special "Corona Virus" edition of the podcast, I sit down with my friend and coach, Chris Harder to discuss tangible and efficient tips that we can all implement RIGHT NOW to bring more peace within ourselves about this current pandemic. We dive into his top 5 "must do's" to survive and THRIVE and position yourself ahead of the curve with the crisis we are in. We also cover his inspiring transformational story of losing EVERYTHING during the 2008 financial crisis to now living a life of abundance with his wife Lori. He gets vulnerable and explains his tips on how he dropped his ego and let personal development and fitness become a catalyst for his purpose to help others. 
 Chris Harder is an entrepreneur, investor, avid philanthropist, and podcaster. After an 11-year career as an executive and partner in the banking industry, he retired from banking in 2011 and partnered with his wife, Lori, to start and scale four different multi-million dollar businesses, along with investing in several other successful startups. Featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, MSNBC, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance, Chris is the host of the top-rated podcast, “For The Love Of Money,” (www.ForTheLoveofMoney.com) aimed at helping entrepreneurs bust through their limiting money-mindset beliefs in order to become unapologetic about their pursuit of wealth and success. Chris also the founded the Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind, helping seven-figure business owners scale their business through carefully curated collaboration, along with the Fast Foundations mastermind, helping entrepreneurs in their early stages of business. Chris’ core belief and motto is that “when good people make good money, they do great things!"

      <title>Laura McKowen - We Are the Luckiest, Turning Shame into Success</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/laura-mckowen-we-are-the-luckiest-turning-shame-into-success</link>
      <description>In this weeks episode, I get to chat with my pal Laura McKowen. Many of you may recognize her from  The Heart of Recovery, where she shared her truth about how she thrives in sobriety. Today, we chat a bit deeper on life in recovery, shame and how she has used her past to turn it into purpose.
 Laura McKowen inspires people to say yes to a bigger life. She’s the author of the bestselling memoir, We Are The Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life, which #1 New York Times bestselling author, Glennon Doyle, has called “A masterpiece.” She has been featured on WebMD, The New York Times, The Guardian, The New York Post, Bravo, and the TODAY show. She writes an internationally recognized, award-winning blog, is the host of two Top 100 iTunes podcasts, and leads sold-out retreats and courses focused on sobriety and personal development.

      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/anthony-trucks-from-foster-care-to-football-to-fulfillment</link>
      <description>On today's episode, I get the chance to sit down with my buddy, Anthony Trucks. This guy has seen it all. His life got thrown upside down as a toddler as he was given away by his mother to a gruesome foster home where he suffered abuse, torture and starvation.
 He found strength and healing through sports as he played football in high school and went on to be a standout for the Oregon Ducks and went on to play in the NFL before a career ending injury. The story and adversity didn't stop there as he went onto become a successful entrepreneur and even found himself on the hit show, American Ninja Warrior as a contestant. Please listen to this one a few times as this "feel good" story is an unmatched tale of using hardships and "shifts" to make the most out of your identity.

      <title>Courtney Andersen - How Her Cat Rescued Her From the Pits Of Addiction</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/courtney-andersen-how-her-cat-rescued-her-from-the-pits-of-addiction</link>
      <description>This episode is special to me as I have the chance to sit down with a recovery warrior and friend Courtney Andersen.
 Courtney is the Founder of Sober Vibes!  For the last seven and a half years, she has been recovering from her addiction to alcohol.  She got Sober at 29 just about two months before her 30th birthday. She was a mess and very into her addiction to alcohol.  Waking up in jail, hospitals, men's beds who she had no clue the names of and a few suicide attempts.     Since then, Courtney has chosen to be loud and proud about her Sobriety as it's been helpful for her to shed the shame and stigma of her addiction. 
  She has started the online community Sober Vibes for women who need support in their recovery and addiction.  It's an active community of women empowerment, inspiration, and healing. Courtney is a firm believer that there is no one way to recover and have done it all, twelve steps, therapy, coaching, etc. We are always evolving and growing, so sometimes one tool doesn't work your whole journey.  Sober Vibes has now evolved into a sober lifestyle brand! A podcast, free resources, and coaching, and courses.  Courtney  co-founded National Sober Day. September 14th, 2019 which was the first-ever National Sober Day.

      <title>Kevin Curry - How Nutrition and Meal Prep Can Save Your Life</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/kevin-curry-how-nutrition-and-meal-prep-saved-my-life</link>
      <description>In this weeks episode, I had the pleasure with sitting down with none other than Kevin Curry. He is the founder of Fit Men Cook, an online community that inspires men and women to eat healthy and stay fit with healthy recipes that in Kevin’s words, “are never, ever boring”. With over 2 million followers around the world, Kevin has become one of today’s most sought-after personalities in nutrition, health and wellness. 
 We chatted about how meal prep and nutrition saved his life from the depths of depression, the do's and don'ts of meal prep and how hitting rock bottom propelled him into a life full of fulfillment, purpose and joy through nutrition. His humility and honesty about his struggles will surely resonate with anyone looking to make a massive change in their life.

      <title>Jen Esquer - Why it's Crucial to Get to the Root Cause of the Pain</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/jen-esquer-why-its-crucial-to-get-to-the-root-cause-of-the-pain</link>
      <description>I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jen Esquer aka DocJenFit on the pod today. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as she shared her journey of going from "office to online" as a DPT, something that is extremely rare. She walks us step by step into how she navigated the switch as well as other adversities including battling infidelity and being in a new relationship. 
 Jen Esquer is a top-40 physical therapy influencer. With a Doctorate in physical therapy, she is ranked as one of the Best Fitness Trainers on IG by Shape Magazine and has been featured in Self Magazine, Men’s Fitness, Muscle and Fitness as well as well as a select interview guest on CBS and on the RISE podcast with Mogul CEO Rachel Hollis.
 As a self-proclaimed “mover”, Jen has spent more than 2/3 of her life upside down. She graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology, and received her DPT degree from Loma Linda University. After schooling, she went on to accept a job at VERT Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation in Santa Monica.
 Through VERT and furthering her education, she was able to meet some amazing individuals who further fueled the expansion of her knowledge base. She studied the Myodetox methodology directly under co-founder, Vinh Pham, took a RockTape course with The Movement Maestro herself, and learned from so many other brilliant minds in the rehab game.
     Nowadays, she offers private sports therapy, online programs, workshops and speaks at global engagements, attracting audiences from stay-at-home moms to Hollywood actors and Olympic athletes. Her mission is to help those who are willing to listen to their body, reverse aging, eliminate pain and establish sustainable health.

      <title>Dolvett Quince: Get Deep in Prayer and Win the Mind Game to Attack Life's Battles</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dolvett-quince-get-deep-in-prayer-and-win-the-mind-game-to-win-in-life</link>
      <description>This week I sit down with Celebrity Trainer, Best Selling Author and Entrepreneur, Dolvett Quince. 
 Dolvett is a NYT Bestselling Author, International Keynote Speaker, Celebrity Fitness Trainer and Personal Development Expert with 20+ years of experience empowering people to turn potential into strength. With expertise in self-love, healthy wealth and fitness, he’s coached people from all walks of life, and is most recognized for his 7 seasons as a trainer on NBC’s TV show, “The Biggest Loser.”
 Through books, keynotes and guest appearances, Dolvett helps people everywhere overcome self-doubt by giving them a clear vision, growth mindset and practical system to design their best path forward. His mission is personal, as his own narrative’s theme is overcoming challenges, finding forgiveness and building mental and physical strength.
 His backstory started with an abusive family in the projects of Connecticut where fear dominated his upbringing until one day, when God’s whisper became louder than man’s words, he looked fear in the face—starting with his father—and forgave. Dolvett’s fortitude started him on a path towards emotional healing and leveraging natural gifts, inspiring a mission to help others do the same.
 Dolvett’s first book, “The 3-1-2-1 Diet: Eat and Cheat Your Way to Weight Loss” became an instant NYT bestseller with its unconventional approach to reduce fat and gain muscle. His second book, “Work Out the Doubt,” slated for end of 2019, will guide readers in improving their health in all aspects of life.
 An internationally respected charismatic speaker, Dolvett engages diverse audiences through conference keynotes and online masterclasses on the topics of personal identity, business development, fitness science and emotional intelligence, and is a Contributor on CNN and other nationally syndicated news shows.
 In this episode, we got deep into his journey and how he overcame the adversity of his childhood to use it to better himself and others around him. We talked about the importance of prayer, inner circle, mindset and of course fitness in order to achieve purpose, promise and prosperity in life. He provides tangible and easily digestible tactics to transform your mindset for the next time you are faced with adversity. We also of course cover life after the Biggest Loser and transitioning into entrepreneurship and other endeavors.

      <title>Dave Hollis - How to Get Out of Your Own Way</title>
      <link>https://theadversityadvantage.libsyn.com/dave-hollis-how-to-get-out-of-your-own-way</link>
      <description>In this weeks episode I sit down with Dave Hollis. I had the good fortune of being a guest on his highly acclaimed  Rise Together podcast as well as connecting with him at one of his live events.
 If you haven't heard of he or his wife Rachel, they are at the forefront of helping millions become the best version of themselves.
 We got deep in chatting about his new book Get Out of Your Own Way, how running helped save him from addiction, relationships, vision for the Hollis Co. and much more! 
 His authenticity, vulnerability and humility are contagious. He shares his tale of how being stuck in a fixed mindset nearly cost him his marriage, health and purpose. 
 His transformation into someone who is on a mission to help others "get out of their own way" in order to experience happiness, optimal health and success is something you will not want to miss.
