Welcome to a very special series of The David Nurse Show: The Dr. & The Nurse! For this series of episodes, David is joined by Dr. Daniel Amen—renowned psychologist and mental health expert—to help break down how to perform at your highest level. Dr. Amen will be taking a look at the brain science behind the topics covered in this series, while David sits down with experts in the field to discuss the actionable tools we can all implement to make our lives better. So let's dive in! For this first episode of The Dr. & The Nurse, David is joined by health and science journalist Max Lugavere. Taking a cue from Max's New York Times bestseller, Genius Foods, David and Max break down all things nutrition optimization. Together the two hit on why ultra-processed foods are damaging your cognitive function, how to get more protein into your diet, what Max eats in a day to perform at his best, and some of the common misconceptions behind consuming whole foods. Dr. Amen joins David for the second part of the episode, where they sit down to discuss the psychological impacts of nutrition optimization. Dr. Amen offers practical tools for eating healthier, outlines some of the foods that lead to improved cognitive performance (and the foods that do not), and discusses why sugar—not fat—is the leading cause of so many health problems.

Confidence Hack #101: The majority of people think ‘connecting' is about the initial connection. Most people are wrong. Ask yourself the question – how many people have you met that you didn't end up staying connected to? You forgot to follow up or you just didn't know how to cultivate the relationship?  In today's episode, I am going to share with you the three fail-proof ways to cultivate a connection and turn the connection into a lifelong relationship! 1. Set a rhythm for reaching out. 2. How can you serve this person? 3. Creating connecting opportunities for the person you connected with. Check out today's to gain confidence in knowing that you are able to cultivate every new connection from here on out! And where most people drop the ball, you score a connection touchdown!

Confidence Hack #100: Email can work at scale! Have you heard ‘email is dead?' Well, that's partially true. It's dead if you don't know how to correctly write an email. But if you do know how, then it's an asset you can utilize when others are swinging and missing. Here is how not to write a connecting email.  1. Make it a novel. Shorter and to the point is better. 2. Run-on sentences and bad grammar. Whether you like it or not, you are being judged by the recipient of the email 3. Making an ask in the first email. 4. Insinuating that you want the recipient's time. Asking ‘can I pick your brain' is a surefire way to not receive an email reply. Here is how to write the perfect connecting email: 1. Edify the person you are writing the email to. Why do you admire them? Point out something specific they do that is impactful to you. 2. Keep the email no longer than 3 small sections (a section is 2 sentences). Always make sure there is a space after each section. Also, make sure the spacing is equal, the font is the same, and the font size is the same. 3. Briefly state what you do but in a very humble, grateful way. 4. Finish the email by letting the recipient know that you are there to serve them if there is anything you can ever do to help. Not ask, an offer for free service. Gain confidence today knowing that you are an extension of the email you write! And through the perfect email, you can connect with anyone!

Confidence Hack #99: Have you ever wondered about the actual average time the most successful people in the world wake up? Rise and Grind. I'm sure you have heard it before. But have you ever wondered about the actual average time the most successful people in the world wake up? Look at some of the most successful people in the world's morning rise time. Warren Buffet: 6:45am Jeff Bezos: 5:00am Mark Zuckerberg: 8:00am Elon Musk: 7:00am  Oprah Winfrey: 6:00am Of the 21 most successful people in the world surveyed (all billionaires), the average amount of sleep was just shy of 6 ½ hours. And the average time they woke up was… 6:01am. Gain confidence today knowing that 6:01am can be the time you wake up to take on the world, but also gain confidence knowing that all the uber-successful people that you and I look up to have the same amount of time in the day as you do.

Confidence Hack #98: We are often told, ‘negative thoughts are a bad thing. Don't think negative thoughts.' That's precisely the opposite of what you want to do. If you don't allow yourself to think negative thoughts, your body will suppress the thoughts, and ultimately, it will lead to a downhill spiral of increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Research has shown that our brain is hardwired for negative thinking.  Here are 3 ways you can embrace your negative thoughts today and live a more positive, fulfilling life tomorrow.  Write out how you are feeling—write out on a piece of paper or in your journal all of your current negative thoughts, your thoughts about others and yourself. This is a subconscious way of ‘throwing out the trash.'  Talk to someone about your negative thoughts—a good friend, a parent, your spouse, someone who will not judge you.  After you have written and talked about your negative thoughts, replace them with a positive one. What is the ‘swap' you can make? Ex: You work with a narcissist in your job and then suck the energy out of your day. Swap the time you give to the narcissist to the people who you do love being around. No one can steal your mental energy unless you open the door and allow them to.  Gain confidence today, knowing that embracing negative thoughts is actually a good thing! Acknowledging your negative thoughts will only lead to a much more positive life!

Confidence Hack #97: Is there anything worse than making a cold call? You know it will be painful, and you have been putting it off for months. Today is the day.  When the mind is able to release something that it has been holding onto—a strained relationship, a tedious task that needs to be taken care of, or even a cold call that needs to be made—the release will free the mind of ‘what-if' thinking and ultimately lower stress and anxiety levels. The confidence comes from the peace of knowing that the burden is off your chest and you can free yourself of the stress build-up. Who is someone that you've been putting off calling?  Is there someone you need to ask for forgiveness? Have you not made any sales because you are trying to avoid making a cold call?  Today's confidence boost comes from picking up the phone and making a tough call. Trust me, you will be thankful you did!

Confidence Hack # 96: Most people let life happen to them. Life without a plan for success is planning a life void of success. Do you go to the island without a map and just ‘wing it?' No, of course not. Gain confidence today, knowing that if you are tired of letting life ‘happen to you,' you can take control of your future. Create your ‘strategic action plan' today and start creating your life by design!

Confidence Hack #95: Comparison is the thief in the night who robs you of your joy for tomorrow. Facts: there is someone you wish you could be more like. Someone you see on social media who appears to have it all together, success comes easy for them, they have the best marriage, their kids never misbehave, and they are living the ‘dream life.' Facts: You have no idea what is going on behind the curtains in that person's life. The edited highlight of a tiny snapshot of a moment in their life, likely ‘based on true events,' is what you see, but it is far from the truth. There is the strained marriage, the kids who rebel, the family member who is sick, the stress and anxiety of maintaining an image, and many more. But there is someone you should compare yourself to—you from yesterday. Research shows that when people focus on their own personal improvement, they experience a greater sense of intrinsic motivation, which leads to increased success. This approach also helps people develop a long-term growth mindset. The confidence boost today comes from comparing yourself to your best comparison partner, you from yesterday. Of course, you don't have to see drastic improvement every day, but if you continue to take steps forward with a growth mindset, you will see great personal growth.

Confidence Hack #94: But what if I also told you, according to a BBC study, 40% of self-made millionaires are dyslexic? Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. Children who possess this quote-on-quote' flaw' often will be ridiculed throughout their childhood. People with dyslexia score far higher on people skills aptitude tests than those who are not dyslexic. Is dyslexia actually a learning disability? I would attest it isn't.  Richard Branson, Tom Cruise, Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, and Pablo Piccaso probably would attest it isn't as well. Dyslexia is often ostracized through the word disability and can lower confidence through a ruling the public school system haphazardly put into place in the 1970s based on a discrepancy in standardized testing. Gain confidence today knowing that if you are dyslexic, or if you have an impairment of any kind (most of us do), it doesn't have to be seen as a societal or learning detriment, it can actually be a superpower!

Confidence Hack #93: What if we already use 100% of our brains? Humans only use 10% of their brains. Have you heard that before? Sure you have. What if we could tap into the unused 90%? This concept is portrayed in the movie Limitless, where Bradley Cooper takes a pill that allows him to access all 100% of his brain. So, how can we access the 90% of unaccessed neurons and glial cells? Well, spoiler alert: We already are. Neurologists have found that humans use virtually every part of the brain and that (most of) the brain is active almost all the time. Instead of telling yourself the story that you aren't smart enough and that only if you could access all of your brain would you reach your full potential. Know that you can live to your full potential right now! Gain confidence today knowing that you are using all of your beautiful brain and can accelerate it when you need to!

Confidence Hack #92: No evidence supports that listening to classical music as a baby makes you smarter. A paper published in Nature in 1993 introduced the “Mozart Effect” to the masses. Psychologist Frances Rauscher performed a study involving 36 college kids. They listened to either 10 minutes of a Mozart sonata in D-major (a very relaxing track) or silence before performing several spatial reasoning tasks.  In one test (emphasis on one test), students who listened to Mozart significantly improved their performance (by about eight to nine IQ points). The rest is history.  Word spread that listening to Mozart's music would increase one's IQ, and the “Mozart Effect” phenomenon was born. Literally, from birth, parents played sonatas with their babies in hopes they would gain brain power through the effect.  As the myth grew, so did a 100-plus-million-dollar industry centered around Mozart's music for babies. But it turns out that it is a fallacy.  There is no IQ increase by listening to Mozart. You can gain confidence today knowing that if you missed out on the Mozart tracks while sleeping in your crib, don't worry; it didn't affect your knowledge.  And a double gain of confidence today knowing that most ‘hot movements' are just that. When something seems too good to be true, it usually is.  And why don't we keep going- a triple gain of confidence today in picking up an instrument and playing it!

Confidence Hack #91: Humans fear what they don't know. “Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.” Dumbledore (of Harry Potter)  The brain constantly tries to predict what will happen next to prepare the body and mind as effectively as possible. Uncertain situations are fearful, as the brain doesn't have the opportunity to prepare. Like in the famed movie Harry Potter, not saying Voldemort's name gave him more power over Harry. The fear of the name itself increases the fear. But when we name our giants (the things that hold us back in debilitating fear), we humanize the unknown and lessen our anxiety. What is a giant in your life currently? An addiction? A narcissistic coworker? A health situation that won't seem to pass? A fear that the bills won't get paid? Give all of these ‘giants' names: Addiction - I'll name you ‘No Longer.' A narcissistic coworker - I'll name you ‘Goofball.' A health situation that won't seem to pass- I'll name you ‘Healer.' A fear that the bills won't get paid - I'll name you ‘Grand Future.' Fear, in general, takes place through the mechanism of unconscious thought. Therefore, the solution is to bring conscious awareness into the equation. Gain confidence today, knowing that when you name your giants (your fears), they aren't as scary as you once thought.

Confidence Hack #90: There are only three levels of life: Momentum, Plateau, and Avalanche. Ask yourself, ‘Do you feel excited when you wake up to take on the day and what it has ahead?' If your answer is yes, then you are in the momentum phase. That's great; keep going! If your answer is no, then ask yourself the question: Does it feel like you are stuck or like you literally can't get out of bed? If your answer is stuck, you are at the plateau level. If your answer was ‘I can't get out of bed,' then you are in the avalanche phase. Gain confidence today in understanding the three levels of life and how to proceed in each of the three.  Momentum - keep building and keep stacking Plateau - where can you evenly swap out bad for good Avalanche - one thing, just one thing to hold on for solid ground You will be at each one of these levels throughout your life, more than likely you will be at each more than once. Know that they will all pass, the good and the bad. But enjoy the ride, even when it feels bleak.

Confidence Hack #88: Here's why tipping 21% can change your life... Let me know if you have felt this before—you walk into a bakery and purchase a donut. It's not a significant action, and there's not much labor on the part of the donut provider. It's simple. Now, you go to swipe your credit card, and the options read to read a tip: 20%, 25%, or more. It's a scam.  Maybe. By the credit card provider or the transaction company, probably so. But not by the donut provider. In a 2023 survey done by Bankrate, 66% of Americans admitted to having a negative view of tipping. Because they don't want to part with the money? I don't think so. The average tip is 20%. 44% of Americans who were surveyed who dine at sit-down restaurants tip 20%.  Now, let's assume the waiter or waitress does a fantastic job. Tip them 21%. Here's why: It will boost their confidence that they are doing a great job and make them feel more valued and worthy.  It will also boost your confidence. The power of giving in a more significant amount than one would typically give has been shown to boost self-esteem and confidence.  Double win: it also boosts your confidence that you are not beholden to money as your controller. It might feel a little uncomfortable at first to give above and beyond, even just 1%. But that 1% can be the difference between your confidence and the confidence of the server beyond that meal they are serving to you that evening.

Confidence Hack #87: You have a choice to make—you can either be a bystander or an upstander. Recent studies have shown that 46% of kids aged 12-18 have experienced bullying. 31% of adults have felt bullied in their adult life. An upstander is someone who stands up for others when they are witnessing them being bullied. If you are being bullied or know of someone who is, the first step is to create your team of Avengers. And don't wait to see if the bullying stops on its own. Once the power control is given up, it's hard to regain it, and it usually only worsens. I'm not saying you have to fight crime in Gotham like Batman, but if you see someone yelling at the clerk behind the grocery checkout just because they have had a bad day and need to take it out on someone, stand up for them. You don't have to seek out fighting bullies but stand up when they come into your life. Today's confidence boost comes from finding your Avengers team to take on the bigger bullies and taking a stance for the small bullying you see happening to others daily. Hey!

Confidence Hack #86: A healthy dose of each is the proper frame of reference. Being an optimist doesn't mean you're not a pessimist, and being a pessimist doesn't mean you're not an optimist. The sweet spot is in the middle, trending towards the optimistic side. Let's be self-aware optimists. What do the smartest financial investors do? They save like pessimists and invest like optimists. They look at the future like optimists, but they are aware of the short term like pessimists. Pessimism and optimism are never separate entities; instead, they complement outlooks that help plan for the future while keeping the present intact. Today's confidence boost comes from understanding and accepting that you are neither a pessimist nor an optimist. Find your ideal balance and see if you can adopt a similar mentality as the ‘self-aware optimist.' Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #85: YOU have the power of first-hand persuasiveness! Ok—would you rather take restaurant recommendations from someone who has been to the restaurant they proclaim is delectable, or would you rather take advice on where to eat from someone who has heard someone else talk about how good it was? The answer is easy. One of the most powerful relationship-building aspects is being the ‘connector.' This is a person who matches people together based on like-minded vision, drive, purpose, and social and economic stature. A major flaw I see in proclaimed ‘connectors' is when they don't know one of the sides of the connection as well as they claim they do. These connections rarely work and usually leave a bad taste in the mouth of the person they actually know. When you go through an experience—either good or bad—you have gained validation that you can speak about, just like I can't tell someone about climbing Mt. Everest and how they should prepare mentally. Your word is your character. And if you become the person who connects people with the wrong people or gives advice when it isn't yours to offer, your word will quickly lose its weight.  Gain confidence today knowing that the experiences you go through, even when challenging, are only helping you become a better and more confident leader to others.

Confidence Hack #84: Happiness is fleeting. Happiness is circumstantial. The number one answer when people are asked, ‘What do you want out of life?' Happiness. Now, I won't go on one of those rants that tells you to live with joy instead of happiness. Potato, pototo. But here is the truth that I am going to hit you with: You will never fully 100% love what you do. There will always be something in your job that irks you—a coworker, your boss, the project you are currently working on, not being appreciated as much as you think you should be, the hours you work, a red-eye flight that you swore you would stop taking once you turned 40. Let me introduce you to Miguel. You will probably never meet the Miguel I'm talking about, and to be quite honest, I don't even know his last name. He is a janitor at an apartment complex in Marina del Rey, California. He cleans, sweeps, takes out other people's trash every morning, and cleans up dog droppings. Not your ideal dream job, is it? But every morning, Miguel is whistling a tune with a giant smile on his face. I asked Miguel one day, ‘Do you love being a janitor?' He paused, smiled, and said, ‘No, I don't. But I love serving others and this is the platform God has given me to do so.' Gain confidence today, knowing that if you are in the ‘pursuit of happiness' to love every moment of your job, you should stop. It's a mirage that you won't be able to obtain.  Even if you aren't happy at your job, or a portion of it, ask yourself today, ‘How can I embrace my inner Miguel?' Hey!

Confidence Hack #83: Life without stress is not a life you want to live. According to the American Psychological Association, as of 2022, 76% of Americans admit to being overly stressed out. If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say, ‘I can't wait until I am able to retire…'  Yeah, and do what? Go sit on a beach in Florida and die 8.6 years sooner than you would if you were stimulating your brain? Let me introduce you to what will become your new favorite term: healthy stress. New research from UC Berkeley has uncovered exactly how acute stress—short-lived, not chronic—primes the brain for improved performance. Intermittent stress has been shown to increase neurons in the hippocampus, which are responsible for improved memory, adaptability, increased focus, and overall higher performance. If you have too much of it on the left side (let's call this side the bad stress), it will dominate your life, and you will be in constant fight or flight mode.  If you do have not enough of it on the left side and the right side skyrockets to the top (let's call this side the ‘sitting on the beach doing nothing in Florida' side), your brain will become unstimulated, and you will be more likely to fall into the category of ‘death by retirement.' The confidence boost today comes from understanding that stress is not necessarily a bad thing, and when used correctly, it can actually be a net gain. Hey!

Confidence Hack #82: The ability to self-educate has never been easier! Sorry scholars who took years and years to develop those books, the new go-to is pursing a doctorate in the education of YouTube. The question you should be asking right now is not, ‘What can you learn on YouTube?' The question you need to be asking yourself is instead, ‘What can't you learn on YouTube?' A 2018 Pew Research Study found that 85% of Generation Z prefer YouTube as an education over reading books. The same study found that 51% of those viewers were actually on YouTube to learn. One of the highest-paid YouTubers is Jeffree Star. Star is a YouTuber who focuses on beauty, makeup, and cosmetics. In 2019, Star made $17 million from YouTube alone, making him the fifth highest-paid YouTuber of that year.  Do you know where Star crafted and sharpened his ability? Through watching YouTube videos. There is no longer any excuse for ‘not being educated.' Gain confidence today knowing that a high-level education and potentially a career making $17 million a year as a YouTube expert are yours for the taking! Hey!

Confidence Hack #81: Ummmm.... uh...these hurt how people perceive you! Once you start listening for it when in conversation with others, you can't unhear it.  Humans use these spacers not because it makes them sound more intelligent; it's because most people are ‘afraid of the pause.' If you listen to some of the best speakers of all time, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Maxwell, and Mel Robbins, you will find they often pause while speaking, even to the point where it feels uncomfortable for the listener. I have had to work on this skill as a professional motivational speaker. And trust me, it's not easy at first. It's all about what happens in that open space. If it is filled with nonsensical fillers like ‘uh and um,' you will lower your perception of your intelligence. If it is filled with silence, you will increase your perception of your intelligence. Gain confidence today, knowing that the silent pause is something to embrace, not to run from. Try it today in conversation. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but I promise you if you stick with it, you will learn to love the pause. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #80: Hard work and quick thinking can change your life! You probably recognize Wolfgang Puck. But do you know how his name became synonymous with Michelin-star restaurant quality? The kitchen was out of bread. That's how he created his world-famous pizza, out of pure necessity. He trusted his intuition, and he life-improved. That's why it's called ‘thinking on your feet.' You aren't faced with these difficult decisions when you are sitting down in your favorite pondering chair. You are faced with them in real-time, on your feet.  Today's confidence boost comes from improving when you don't know what to do instead of conceding. You are an expert in your field and in yourself. Trust your skills and intuition; maybe you'll make the next smoked salmon pizza. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #79: Enthusiasm, the trait no one wants less of! I mean, think about it: the difference between getting a coffee and the person making your coffee couldn't care less about your cup of joe vs. the person who tells you about the origin of the coffee bean itself and that it was roasted high in the mountains of Columbia at 7,000 ft elevation. That is the difference in enthusiasm. Now, I'm not saying to fake enthusiasm. But, the awareness of it is vital. Here are 5 ways to start infusing more enthusiasm into your life today: Eliminate your time around toxic people Take a risk Smile Create a ‘complaining jar' Do something creative daily Today's confidence boost comes through implementing one (or ideally all five) of these enthusiasm ignitors to your day. Eventually, the more you focus on these five enthusiastic boosters, the more it will become a way of life—a life filled with infectious enthusiasm. Hey!

Confidence Hack #78: According to DataReportal, as of 2023, the average American spends 6 hours and 59 minutes on a screen. Per day! If you are into health and wellness, then I'm sure you've heard of Intermittent Fasting. It's a trendy way to lose weight based on compressing the time window for eating. Usually, the eating hours are open from noon to 8pm or even as small as 2pm to 6pm.  The concept builds parameters so the person reaching for the donut at 7am (and 8am) won't. Today, you and I will make the term' Intermittent Screen Time Fasting' a thing together. Why isn't it easy for everyone to turn off their phone and put the screen down? Nomophobia. There is actually a phobia, which describes the fear of being without a phone. In a study done by Psychology Today - they found that just by putting down the phone for an hour each day improves: Sleep Quality  Sex life Energy throughout the day Ability to get out of bed faster the next morning Lower depression rates The confidence boost today comes from right here, right now, setting up the hour window (just like intermittent food fasting) that you are going to be on your phone.  Once you commit to a time window, that's what you are sticking to. Try it for a week, and if you like it (which I have an excellent feeling you will), make it a daily habit. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #77: The true stories of those who survived 9/11 due to schedule interruptions. I'm sure we all have, but try to remember a time recently when you got so frustrated over the slightest mishap in your schedule. Let me introduce you to the ‘unknown near-miss experiences.' September 11th, 2001, is a day that will live in infamy in United States history. Everyone who was alive can remember precisely where they were on that day. A woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off on time.  Another man survived because it was his turn to bring donuts to the office.  Someone else was delayed due to being stuck in a long traffic jam on the New Jersey Turnpike.  One person's car simply wouldn't start.  That morning, a man wore a brand new pair of shoes, got a blister, and had to stop at a pharmacy for a plaster. Those are all true stories of people who unknowingly avoided death. I doubt they look at the minor annoyances of their days the same way most people do. They know they are on borrowed time. And that's the thing: we are all on borrowed time. Today's confidence boost comes from taking a minute to think about the truth—there have been many situations where we could have very easily expired, but we didn't. And that alone can give us a new sense of joy and perspective.  Gain confidence knowing that God is protecting you even from the things you don't know and even when they might seem like burdens at the moment. Burdens can be blessings in disguise. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #76: Writing is better than typing. All right, self admittance here. I have horrible handwriting. Not just bad, really bad. Be it as it may, I march on. There is absolute power in the brain and pen connection. Your memory of handwritten words is tied to the movements required to make each letter. When you write by hand, your brain actually gets an encoding boost. It's unclear how much more powerful writing is than typing, but experts have estimated it can be up to 5x more powerful. Writing vs. only auditorily hearing the information can be up to 20 times more powerful in retention. Today's confidence boost comes from committing to journal daily - either in the morning or evening. And bonus points if you carry a notebook around with you where you go. Some of the smartest people and best leaders I have been around do this. Erik Spoelstra, head coach of the Miami Heat and one of the top coaches in all of North American sports history, brings a notebook to every dinner meeting we have and avidly takes notes. If the best of the best do it, we may, too! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #75: Students read books they are interested in. Do you remember reading George Orwell's ‘Animal Farm' in 6th grade and having no clue what it was about, literally checking out after hearing the pig talks? I have nothing against Orwell; he's one of my favorite authors of all time, and he's brilliant. But in sixth grade?? Come on, school systems. Finland has scored as the top education system throughout the 2000s. Why is this? A multitude of reasons ranging from: Students stay with the same teacher for multiple years Outside activities are mandatory  No standardized testing  Cooperation with, not competition against  Fewer hours of the day actually ‘in school' Among many others, the most telling reason is allowing students to read books they are interested in. It's like anything: if you force someone to do something they don't enjoy or understand, there will be no benefit. Today, the confidence boost comes from embracing reading what you enjoy! It doesn't have to be the headiest novel written in 10th-century English, and please, parents and teachers, don't force kids to read something they despise and can't comprehend. Read for enjoyment, and the increased fun of learning will follow! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #74: Someone ahead of you paved your way, and you are doing the same for others. In the mid-1800s, on the path known as the Oregon Trail, it took an average of six months for a family to venture from Texas to Oregon. Now, it takes 4 hours and 25 minutes to fly from Austin, Texas, to Portland, Oregon. If you are not seeing the fruits of your labor today, know they are setting up someone else's path. And if you are finding it easy to walk the path towards your goals, don't forget someone set that path up for you. Nothing is of loss if you view it this way. Today's episode is about Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta Lacks, a 31-year-old mother of five, died of cervical cancer on 4 October 1951. Lacks's cells – known as HeLa, using the first two letters of each of her names – became the first immortal human cell line in history.  All types of research and experiments suddenly became possible. Lacks' cells were the first ever to survive and grow. Her cells were later described as one in three billion. HeLa cells went on to help develop in vitro fertilization and several chemotherapy drugs among hundreds of medical advances. Today's confidence boost comes from knowing that even if you don't reap the benefits of what you are going through, someone else will. Keep going. And if you are reaping benefits, be grateful for those who paved the way before you. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #72: A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and causes a tornado in Texas. North American theoretical meteorologist Edward Lorenz found something strange while studying weather patterns. In 1961, Lorenz was running a numerical computer model to redo a weather prediction he had currently been working on. Lorenz left the room and walked down the hall to get a cup of coffee. He entered the initial condition 0.506 from the printout instead of the complete precision 0.506127 value as he was in a hurry. When he returned, the result was a completely different weather scenario. The computer had simulated months into the future. Due to a minimal numerical rounding in his equation,  the differences more or less steadily doubled in size every four days or so until all resemblance with the original output disappeared somewhere in the second month. Lorenz's ‘accidental' study discovered that the smallest occurrences in one area can lead to a domino effect in another.

Confidence Hack #71: Pedigree only means where you came from, not where you are going. Even if you look like your parents and can trace your DNA back to your great-great-grandparents, that doesn't mean you must follow in their footsteps. The word pedigree means: ‘the recorded ancestry.'  Technically, pedigree only concerns where you came from, not where you are going. Tyler Perry has become one of the most successful producers, creators, and overall talents in Film and TV of all time. He was born into poverty in New Orleans, Louisiana, and his childhood was marked by poverty and a household of abuse. His story today is a testimony of how pedigree and DNA do not define the success or the future you can have! Gain confidence knowing that no matter what your pedigree says, you don't have to agree. Your upbringing does not determine who you are or who you will be. Remember, pedigree is ‘recorded ancestry.'  Pedigree does not determine destiny! Hey!

Confidence Hack #70: The best-selling book of all time specifically mentions confidence 60 times, and this is why that is important. Anything mentioned more than 25 times should open our eyes. More than 50, we should become very aware of. Not many words or phrases are mentioned more than confidence in the Bible. The main point I want to outline here is that confidence is not used the same way throughout. The majority of uses pertain to trust in others, trust in circumstances, and trust in God. We often think confidence has to do with ourselves, but the Bible points directly to confidence correlated with the word trust. Confidence is trust. Trust is confidence. Gain confidence today knowing that one of the most used words in the best-selling book of all time, The Bible, is confidence. Confidence in who God has created you to be. Confidence in the plan He has for your life. And Confidence in God Himself. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #69: The power of collective intelligence and multiple mind collaboration. I'm going to introduce you to the beauty of ‘a group-thinking.' No matter how smart you think you might be on your own, you're not. You can be the absolute best in your industry, but your brain's capacity will never reach the potential capacity of multiple brains working together. We need others. No one in the history of ever did something great on their own. Trust me, there was always a group or a team (even if just one other person) that helped them get to where they are.  Gain confidence today, knowing that you don't have to figure it all out on your own. You don't have to live life alone. You are not alone. Find your tribe and group so you can contribute your knowledge and skill set to create an incredible team!

Confidence Hack #68: Being the ultimate ‘glue guy' translates to a winning culture. Shane Battier. From the outside world looking in, Shane's skills weren't flashy. He wasn't dunking on anyone's head or making the coolest crossover moves. He wasn't even stuffing the stat sheet like you would think an NBA player would. But what Shane brought to every team he played for at every level was the most critical aspect a player can bring: winning. Adhesion and cohesion are the two main components in making glue sticky. Shane's General Manager, when he played for the Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey, stated, “I call him Lego. When he's on the court, all the pieces start to fit together. Shane's physical skills might have not been on par with the top players in his sport, but no one matched his IQ, EQ, and ability to be the glue guy for every team he was on. What if you were the glue guy or glue girl for your family?  For your company? For your friends? For the team around you? You can be!

Confidence Hack #67: Not everyone is a leader traditionally, but everyone is a leader in some way. In business - the Lattice System is a hierarchical approach that directly opposes the more familiar structure of the ‘Ladder System.' The Lattice System encourages more communication and cross-collaboration. Instead of waiting for orders to be sent down the chain of command, the impetus is placed on the employees to empower themselves and work in unison with others. Whose orders are you waiting for to take action on your dream? Not everyone is a leader traditionally, but everyone is a leader somehow. When everyone on your team is empowered (both in business and your team in life), people are more energized and passionate about their mission. Lattice systems give decision-making ownership to each and everyone's daily rhythm. Today's confidence boost comes from embracing the lattice system in your business and personal life. It doesn't mean you don't take orders from anyone; it just means opening up to cross-collaborating with people you might not have interacted with before and empowering them along the way. Hey!

Confidence Hack #66: How to go to sleep without mind-racing thoughts. Do you keep yourself up at night because you can't seem to turn off your ‘racing mind'? It's very, very common. Anxiety never leads to confidence. However, a race is technically run to be won. So, if your mind is racing, you can shift the direction in your favor.  Before you go to bed, write out every thought on a piece of paper or your journal. Don't leave any out. The act of writing out your ‘racing mind' is giving your mind permission to store the thoughts that are causing you anxiety in a different place than your brain. Gain confidence today by knowing that if your mind is racing when you lay your head down, that is normal!

Confidence Hack #65: Performing mental time travel can help us remember our most significant accomplishments! Have you ever heard of the ‘Forgetting Curve?'  I hadn't either. Through extensive research, Hermann Ebbinghaus concluded that people will have forgotten an average of 50 percent of the information within one hour. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent of it. Wow. In this confidence hack, I want to focus on what I call ‘mental time travel.' Today, we are taking a trip back in time to remember when you accomplished a feat you had initially doubted you could do.

Confidence Hack #64: Steve Jobs's success cannot be defined without his failures. In 1985, Apple produced two supposedly revolutionary products - the Lisa and the MacIntosh. Sales didn't scratch the floor of Apple's expectations for the products. Someone had to go. CEO Steve Jobs was the one headed to the guillotine. Jobs didn't lick his wounds in a pity party for himself. He used what he knew he had, a skill set to ideate and innovate. He created the company NeXT. Eleven years after its inception, Jobs sold NeXT to none other than, you guessed it, Apple for $429 million. You will never hit 100% of the shots you take.

Confidence Hack #63: If someone tells you they love their job 100% of the time, they are probably lying. Here's the truth, its ok not to love your job 100% of the time.But what if you don't love your job even 10% of the time? That is where today's confidence hack comes in to play! Here is the point blank truth - you and only you are the one who decides how much joy you squeeze out of the lemon daily. Case and Point: Erik Spoelstra. Started as an intern for the Miami Heat. The lowest of the low. His job was to do whatever anyone asked of him - coffee runs, print papers, cut up game film. And his answer was always the same: ‘No problem, ‘he said with a smile on his face. It's all in how you perceive your current situation.

Confidence Hack #62: Sometimes, all you need is to head to the beach and take a wiffle ball break. ‘Practice, you talking about practice,' Allen Iverson famously quoted when questioned if he was focused in practice. Practice versus play. What if I were to tell you that you need both to become great? Deliberate practice and deliberate play. Deliberate practice is “practicing with a clear awareness of the specific components of a skill you aim to improve and exactly how to improve them.” Deliberate play, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. Deliberate play releases the intense focus on one detail and spreads the umbrella to cover a new framework. Just ask NBA Superstar Luka Donic. Realizing that his Dallas Mavericks teammates needed a break from the arduous West Coast road trip they were on, Luka called for the team to cancel practice and head to the beaches of Santa Monica to play wiffle ball. And it worked! The Mavericks beat the Los Angeles Lakers on their home floor the following night. The confidence boost is gained today by embracing a rhythm of deliberate practice and deliberate play. You can't fully maximize one without the other. Hey!

Confidence Hack #61: He had every opportunity to blame himself and others around him, but he didn't and became great. 13 turnovers. In one basketball game. In basketball terms, that's like standing up to give a talk and forgetting all the words you were going to say and falling off stage. Bob McKillop, the head coach for Davidson University, did not bench his freshman point guard in the 2006-2007 season. Instead, he encouraged him and started him again the next game. Steph didn't blame others for his mistakes. Coach McKillop didn't blame Steph for the loss. Research has shown that blame culture activates the amygdala, leading to feelings of fear, anxiety, and disengagement. When individuals feel blamed, they are more likely to respond defensively, becoming argumentative or aggressive. Fear, processed in the amygdala, leads to placing blame of a quote on quote ‘incident' on someone else for fear that it will reflect poorly on the blaming individual. Gain confidence today by taking ownership and not blaming anyone else for your situation. You will only grow stronger when you own your mistakes, and others are less likely to blame you when you disarm their ability to do so. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #56: The power of storytelling. I'm going to do you a favor and introduce you to the best ‘storytelling' teacher I know, David JP Phillips. David JP grew up in rural Sweden and, from a young age, was taught the power of story by his parents. Today, I want to highlight one story that he tells in his Ted Talk, ‘The Magical Science of Storytelling.' In early 2009, Rob Walker and Joshua Glenn embarked on a journey to prove the power of storytelling. They began their mission by acquiring 100 ‘junk' objects from garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, and anywhere they could find. And they were acquired for an average price of just $1.29. They put the 100 objects on eBay along with the story to back the efficacy. By November of that same year, you would not believe the price they received for all of these exact same items! Stories are everywhere - movies, music, books, daily conversations. You, too, can be a confident curator of stories! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #54: Why you shouldn't meet your heroes and the fall of Tiger Woods.

Or bragging about the F their child received on their report card and the constant stress they feel weighing them down to hit target numbers in their business.

All of the problems underneath finally boiled to the top. What I'm saying is this: if you envy someone else (a role model, a celebrity), spend a day in their shoes and see what is ‘really' going on behind the curtains. Everyone is going through something. That's just how life is, and that's totally ok!

Confidence Hack #53: The interpersonal expectancy effect is the idea that our expectations can actually create that outcome! Have you ever been to a movie that you didn't think would be worth seeing, and you walked away raving about it? On the contrary, have you ever been to a movie where a friend had way over-hyped and walked away with a dissatisfied taste in your mouth? The human brain believes what the expectation signal is telling it. But where the rubber hits the road is when expectations don't align with realities. In every situation, there is a positive and a negative. Just like the expectancy can be a letdown, it can also increase motivation and confidence.

Confidence Hack #52: It over 1,009 attempts to make the best chicken the world had ever known, and that wasn't half of the creator's setbacks. Think about this - every difficult situation you have been through, you have gotten through. The old adage that ‘whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger' might be true. This is the story of the most famous chicken recipe in the world. And without giving it away, you might already know it.
