Does being successful guarantee becoming rich? Obviously that requires you to define what success is for you and your journey. The funny twist in all of this is that being rich is so easily fantasized and yet the work it takes to become rich and successful is barely thought of.Jim Rohn said, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” As hard as that is to accept as truth, it is evident when you look at elite athletes, world-class performers, and the best of the best in any field.When you watch this, understand that Tom's drive is always fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. The work it takes to achieve his level of success is not easy nor is it for the faint of heart. It's not impossible, and it's not the only path forward, but it has proven to be majorly successful over and over again. The path to becoming rich and successful is going to require you to dig deep and it requires skills, grit, and determination for you to tap into a level of potential you never knew was possible.You can watch the full episodes included today here:Tom Bilyeu on The School of Greatness: https://youtu.be/DN6BP65jWhk Tom Bilyeu on Rich Roll:https://youtu.be/prlqWU54NME Tom Bilyeu on Ed Mylett: https://youtu.be/VjTGHnlX8fw Tom Bilyeu on Valuetainment: https://youtu.be/jSvTTh93dY0 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction 0:000:12 | There Are No Excuses, Only Taking Action31:03 | Rich People Do These 8 Things47:37 | The Power of Stories49:50 | Reading List51:29 | Take Ownership54:20 | It's Not About the Money1:00:29 | Learn From Failure & Move Forward1:22:55 | Bonus: They Choose To Win & Not QuitQUOTES:“We're not judged by our intentions.

The goal of this episode is to get you to understand what money really is and give you the knowledge you need to change how you're using it in your day to day life.The majority of people will unfortunately continue to become poor and the harsh reality for many is that they won't even see what's happening in time if at all.

That includes getting people to see the objective truth about the government's role in the financial system, who the Feds are, and how wealthy, financially educated people think and use money differently from poor, financially uneducated people.Tom openly shares his example of how you can be a good entrepreneur and bad investor from not asking the right questions.

It was a way for me to get started.” [24:18]“Everybody in America should be a business owner, however, not everybody should be in the business of starting a company and not everybody should be in the business of operating a company.” [28:42]“I like to call it net zero thinking, where if I have cash I need to spend it, [...] it's the consumer mindset of, if I have this money, I need to spend it.” [36:48]“You're never going to be able to out save inflation. Your savings are literally making you poorer each and every day.” [38:27]“You have to be the one now to go out of your way to start learning this, and thank God for YouTube because now we've decentralized education.” [42:21]Follow Jaspreet Singh:Website: https://theminoritymindset.com/about-us/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT3EznhW_CNFcfOlyDNTLLw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/minoritymindset/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/minoritym1ndset Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MinorityMindset/

Show Notes: Global recession is being talked about literally everywhere. Between the gas pump and groceries alone you can't help but feel the tension rising.Raoul Pal, a former hedge fund manager that retired at the age of 36, serial entrepreneur, and global macro investor expert is joining Tom for a second time to discuss the realities people need to be aware of to thrive in a global recession. A word of wisdom he shares that was passed on to him is, “he who has cash in a recession is king.” The bottom line Raoul is openly sharing is that income and the ability to advance on opportunities makes all the difference.“Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.” - Nathan RothschildHaving a solid work ethic, a strong (and maybe unreasonably optimistic) belief, coupled with income and the knowledge to look for moments of extreme weakness to buy and make moves, without leverage, against opportunities can get you to the other side of this crisis potentially better off than when it all began.You get to decide what to focus on. Will it be the existential global crises or the opportunities most are too scared to see or take advantage of?Recommended Reading:William Strauss and Neil Howe, The Fourth Turning: https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Turning-History-Americas-Rendezvous-ebook/dp/B001RKFU4I SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Raoul Paul1:10 | The Makings of a Global Recession12:30 | Money Market & Loanable Funds21:00 | Debt and Leverage Explained32:56 | Stopping the Economic Implosion 47:23 | Death of the American Dream54:47 | Opportunity for Growth1:09:36 | Thriving In Volatile Markets1:18:39 | Changing Global Order1:28:37 | How Raoul Increases His OptionsQUOTES:“Prices rising, inflation, is evil for our savings because the dollar in your bank account is worth less in a year's time.” [3:03]“As prices go up, the economy slows down [...] and therefore it becomes self regulating, and it becomes that because people are quite in debt.” [11:16]“Leverage allows you to borrow future money to use now [...] We're trying to meet the expectation of our future selves always, that's what drives humans.” [22:11]“This is what people don't understand about leverage. You don't own that thing, you only own it when you pay it off.” [26:35]‘Everyone's got debts cause we borrowed for our future selves.” [37:58]“Humans have a propensity to borrow to create the image of this future self. [...] that dream we had in the 50s, that dream died decades ago, and to fund that dream, the mismatch between the dream and the reality is debt. Sometimes debt is not all bad. Sometimes it can help accelerate some of the things, but if you're doing it to fund a dream that is never going to exist, that's the danger.” [47:23]“Focus on your income, work hard, look for other opportunities that can leverage that income and opportunity set that you've got for you, [...] look for investment opportunities that can change my life.” [57:51]“You can't be in it to win it if you've got leverage, or if you're out of the market.” [1:05:52]“Where are we in the volatility, and is this going to survive? [...] and if the long term trend is there, then you should be buying into all of this.” [1:13:18]“Change is happening, and you can fear it, but you're not going to stop it.” [1:25:53]“Always out of bad times eventually is the good times, and it's the same with investing.

Discomfort, hard work, uncomfortable situations and conversations, are the things that no one desires more of, and yet…The ability to build a wildly successful and scalable business is within reach for nearly everyone reading this, and yet through self-selection on the few will do what needs to be done to rise to the top. Of the few that rise to the top, even fewer will do so feeling fulfilled in their life. It takes much more than skills and relationships to be successful. It takes grit and determination to do the hard things. It requires you go through emotionally taxing, ego killing moments of failure, humility, and self-realization to become adaptable and become who you want to be.In this keynote, Tom reveals the hard facts of entrepreneurship and what it takes to be in the 1%. “If you're only good in the beginning you lack grit.” After watching this it's time for a hard self-talk and challenge to yourself. It's time for a no B.S. approach of what will it take to build yourself into the person you desire to be.

The external expectations involuntarily placed on you amount to pressure and loss of self-identity, values and beliefs. On the other hand, the internal expectations you willingly place on yourself can put you into a state of anxiety with doubts, disappointment and indecisiveness. So take a step back from yourself for a moment and consider the number of decisions you passively make everyday while living a less than fulfilling life. If you're not happy with where you are, how you live, what you do, the money you make (or don't make) and the success you wish for but never have, it comes down to indecisiveness and lack of action. Mel Robbins is an American attorney, best selling author, motivational speaker, and straight shooter. She's introduced two of the simplest tools anyone can use starting right now to go from autopilot to decision maker moving towards your dreams.“I hope you have a massive a-ha moment, but it's not going to mean shit if you don't take action and do something about it.” This is Mel's wish for you today. You can trick your brain to do what's important and beat the habit loops that keep sabotaging you everyday.It's time for you to stop fighting for your excuses. Stop arguing against the dreams you want and wish for, and start making the decisions for better results day by day, hour by hour, and second, by second. It's as easy as counting down, 5-4-3-2-1, and go!Trick your brain to do what's important and beat the habit loops that sabotage you everydayChange yourself and gain the ability to start dealing with the problems you're experiencingSHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Mel Robbins0:14 | Use This Rule Everyday13:16 | Stop Living on Autopilot25:00 | Confidence Is A Skill, Anxiety Is A Habit32:18 | Don't Waste Your Life48:06 | Master Your Body & Mind58:47 | Take Control By Doing This1:12:37 | Build Desire & Get InspiredQUOTES:“You can truly trace every single problem or complaint in your life to silence and hesitation. Those are decisions.” [1:33]“If you're stuck that's the problem. The problem is you're in your head, you're thinking. That is the universal problem, and it all starts with the knowledge of what to do and then you hesitate and you think about whether or not you feel like doing it.” [10:29]“You have about a five second window in which you can move from idea to action before your brain kicks into full gear and sabotages any change in behavior.” [15:07]“Confidence is the ability to move from thought to action because when you're a confident person you believe enough in yourself and capabilities that you're willing to try.” [26:08]“People are making a fundamental mistake. You are withholding the very support, empowerment, and celebration that you need to change, and to do the hard work, and to face the things that you're scared of, and that's why you're not changing.” [33:07]“The thing about jealousy is that it's just your inspiration that's blocked. Jealousy is sort of the insecurity that you have that blocks this inspiration.” [46:58]“Most folks know what they dream about and what they want, and yet they spend all of their time and energy arguing against what they want.” [1:13:58]Follow Mel Robbins:Website: https://melrobbins.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/melrobbins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins

Obviously, the answer can only be personal to your individual preferences, values, and beliefs, but are you consciously deciding the quality of your life?Ryan Holiday is a best-selling author times 10, media strategist, influential speaker, and bookstore owner. He's best known for his writings on ancient stoic philosophy and its application for everyday life. The New York Times credited Ryan for the increasing popularity of stoicism.In this discussion, Ryan shares his thoughts and lessons learned about how he came to see what living a good life is for him. Questioning the things you give your time and energy over is the beginning for any of us that want to unpack what we're doing, who we're doing it for, and how it adds value with meaning to us. It's not enough to be a human doing any and everything without intention and clarity. Ryan points out that it's better to learn and practice what it is to just be a human “being.”If the day to day mindless actions of work, preparing dinner, and stressing over getting more clients to increase your revenue is part of your reality, then taking this time to thing through what the right goal is for your to focus on and what you want out of life may be the most important moment in your life thus far.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Ryan Holiday0:25 | How to Live A Good Life10:35 | Choosing The Right Goal 15:35 | What You Want Is What You Value21:42 | Time Between Stimulus and Response28:20 | Using Feedback Effectively34:26 | Check Your Ego for Success43:03 | Get Out of Your Way46:13 | Defining Success for RyanQUOTES:“We seem to have a limitless capacity to steal time from ourselves.” [2:49]“We protect our physical space much more than we protect our time, even though physical space can be regained and time can never be regained.” [3:15]“If you think that action is the end all be all, you end up doing action for the sake of doing action, [...] sometimes you're just supposed to just be.” [4:24]“It's this balance. Once you've arrived, the thing that got you there is now in some ways your worst enemy.” [8:18]“Where ego comes in is like we've got the things that impress other people, and then the real meaningful impact that we're trying to have.” [12:12]“What do people do with their money? They buy freedom, but oftentimes, they give up freedom to get money. [17:47]“It's about sort of cultivating an awareness, and a process of continual reflection on the data that your life is creating all the time.” [23:39]“You're not trying to get to perfection right now. You're just trying to get a little bit better than you were yesterday or an hour ago.” [25:16]“If you're trying to be everything for everyone, and you read feedback, you're just going to get more lost.” [31:45]“If I'm going to use my emotions, I want to be calm internally, but projecting the emotional response that's going to be effective in that situation, but I don't want to be jerked around by those emotions unconsciously.” [40:30]"We have a limitless capacity to steal time from ourselves."

The essence of cryptocurrency continues to evolve with every new blockchain technology. It's an innovative space being fueled with unprecedented energy. In the midst of so many innovations on blockchain, bitcoin continues to stand as a storehouse of value that no other cryptocoin has been able to compete with.Muneeb Ali is a Pakistani computer scientist with a PhD in computer science from Princeton, co-founder and CEO of Trust Machines. He is co-founded the Stacks project, a unique programming software created to be smart contract layer that sits on top of bitcoin minus the tension. Muneeb is CEO of Hiro, a developer tooling company. In this conversation Muneeb and Tom discuss the unique attributes that allow bitcoin to stand high above the rest and the likeliness of its usability in a practical marketplace.

Permeable blood brain barrier and gut barrier connected to inflammation and autoimmunity diseases is enough to make anyone's head spin.Dealing with these health conditions can be frightening and endless. Your body's reaction to proteins and your immune response can be highly frustrating when you're being instructed to follow “protocols” and standards of treatment.If you or someone you love has felt betrayed living a standard healthy lifestyle only to fall prey to gut issues, autoimmune disease and declining cognition, you're not alone.Dr. Datis Kharrazian is a world-renowned functional medicine health care provider. He specializes in managing chronic diseases, autoimmunity and neurological problems. He treats his patients with non-pharmaceuticals, and is in extremely high demand from patients and other healthcare professionals wanting to learn his clinical models.In this episode, Dr. Kharrazian is addressing the flaw with medical treatments that over standardize what people are experiencing and the causes.

It's even been reported that American unhappiness hit a record low early this year. If you do a climate check with the people in your life and your social media pages, it's not hard to see that sadly behind some of the smiles, there's a feeling of unhappiness in the air. Arthur C. Brooks is the William Henry Bloomberg Professor of the Practice of Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and Professor of Management Practice at the Harvard Business School. He's discussing why he felt called to explore and research the human experience and model of what actually brings us happiness.If money, fame, power, and pleasure doesn't bring permanent happiness, then what does?

If you search for tips on how to age gracefully, you get tips for how to be more mindful, be more forgiving, stay curious, keep learning, and more. You'll find a few tips around staying physically active, but you don't see a lot of advice (if any) on building muscle, getting in the gym, hitting the weights, and putting your body under stress.Dr. Gabrielle Lyon began her 20+ year career in geriatric medicine and palliative care. In her observations and studies on people in declining physical and mental health she became passionately aware of the missed opportunity in the medical community. Chronic diseases commonly associated with aging such as Alzheimers, cardiac disease, and diabetes, were being studied without addressing the underlying source that's contributing to the problems, deteriorating skeletal muscle.By the end of this episode, if you're not convinced on the power of muscle building you may want to rewatch. Whether you are male or female, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or older, everyone needs to be invested in building muscle tissue to age gracefully and have a better quality of life. Healthy aging isn't just about maintaining mental cognition with a failing body, it's about having quality interactions and the physical ability to stand, walk, and travel without the fear of falling or being dependent on everyone for everything.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Gabrielle Lyon0:14 | Focus on Resistance Training13:06 | The 1st Meal of the Day Right19:26 | Muscle-Centric Protection to Aging34:17 | How to Reverse Aging58:02 | Reduce the Fat Storage1:08:41 | Build Muscle & Don't Lose ItQUOTES:“If you eat food that is subthreshold to that 2.5g of leucine you will be skinny fat…” [2:42]“The wider the waistline the lower the brain volume.” [23:19]“Lifestyle, choices midlife, having access to the right information changes the trajectory of aging.” [23:41]“Muscle is a nutrient sensing organ.” [34:26]“In the literature high quality protein is defined by amino acid content. It's not a negotiable nebulous concept; these are hard fast biological numbers.” [36:47]“When we're talking about the general population, typically people don't have a good solid foundational muscular base.” [43:33]“Everybody's focused on adiposity, everybody's focusing on insulin resistance, and if you care about root causes you have to care about skeletal muscle.” [45:22]“You have to train hard, [...] you have to get the stress in. The body thrives under stress, [...] your body requires physical stress.” [56:34]“When we are older, 30s, 40s, we are now no longer driven by hormones. We are now driven by dietary sensing mechanisms.” [57:27]“You have to get the foundational piece right up front, and that is high quality training is a non-negotiable, and number two, high quality proteins.” [57:50]“If you want to survive, the more muscle you have the more likely you'll survive.” [1:05:53]“Obesity, diabetes, Alzheimers, cardiovascular disease, these are pathologies. These are metabolic pathologies that can be corrected by having healthy muscle tissue.” [1:08:27]Follow Gabrielle Lyon: Website: https://drgabriellelyon.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPQJeWz4pvccA3lIoZ7j1Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon/

How many have you tried that left you frustrated and pissed off? Probably too many to count or recall. We're bombarded with misinformation about fitness, exercise, and diet at nauseum. It's not getting you or anyone closer to the results you really desire, and it almost makes the results you want a bit unclear and confusing.Sal DiStefano is no newcomer to the fitness scene. By the age of 19 he was already general manager at a local gym. Unfortunately for him, but lucky for you and all of his clients since, he had a health scare of his own from an autoimmune disorder which resulted in him losing 15 pounds of muscle! Sal refocused and started learning more about gut health, hormone health and how to prioritize health over appearance.His book, The Resistance Training Revolution, breaks down fitness misconceptions that social media and bad diet fads are flooding you with. In this episode, break through the idea of relying on cardio to burn those extra calories and start realizing the amazing benefits strength training offers your body. Stop training just to lose weight fast and look good, and make the mindset shift to start approaching diet and exercise for the right reasons, so it becomes lifelong and sustainable.Check out Sal DiStefano's book, The Resistance Training Revolution: https://amzn.to/3OvyaJC SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Sal DiStefano0:43 | How to Burn Belly Fat6:36 | Train Your Body to Burn More Calories13:06 | Benefits of Strength Training21:54 | The Problem with Running28:48 | Find the Right Exercise for Your43:24 | Watch Your Hormones52:33 | How to Eat IntuitivelyQUOTES:“The average person has been told to value exercise, mainly by its calorie burn, and that's so wrong because the amount of calories you burn while you exercise is actually the least important thing.” [3:54] “Strength training is the most consistent way to raise testosterone, [...] in men” [14:30]“Strength training has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to stop or halt the progression of the beta amyloid plaques that are so associated with Alzheimer's” [15:31]“Because we can't just pop the exercise pill, people leave the most obvious solution on the table.” [17:09] “When it comes to improving all health metrics, mental, psychological, and physical, as you follow along, as you continue the process, it gets better and better. There's no medication that does that at all.” [18:46]“Don't go to the gym and workout, go to the gym and practice these exercises and try to get good at these exercises.” [24:33]“If we judge exercise by the people that perform it at the highest level, we're also looking at people who genetically were born to also perform at very high levels.” [25:52]“The extreme bodies are not healthy. Those are extreme performers, like a top NBA player or football player or athlete is not optimally healthy.

Feeling stuck, unhappy in a situation, and having uncertainty and fear around how to navigate through it or remain in it is something nearly everyone can identify with. Knowing how to get yourself out of the situations that make you feel small is challenging. The mindset that keeps you from succeeding in a life you only dream of is something that can be changed, but where do you begin?Lisa Bilyeu, President of Impact Theory, creator and host of Women of Impact is with hubby, Tom Bilyeu, sharing exactly how she took herself from a stay-at-home super supportive wife to ultra-successful serial entrepreneur. In her new book, Radical Confidence, Lisa shares her struggles with life's plans taking a wrong turn, struggling with confidence, and going after a life that truly mattered to her.For Lisa, being backed against the wall in these do or die circumstances forced her to have the difficult but honest conversations with herself about what she wanted, who she wanted to become, and how she was going to get there. The alternative was not an outcome Lisa was willing to accept. She's built a heck of a toolkit along the way to becoming courageous and confident as f*ck in her bad b*ch boots.

It's likely you've heard that a confused mind says, no and in this very special episode Mark Zuckerberg joins Tom to share his thoughts around what the metaverse can potentially do for social connection and community. The unchartered territory of building a metaverse economy leaves the door wide open to what Mark calls an immersive internet that will change gaming and how and where you are able to work. Building technology in a space that hasn't been created is no easy feat, yet Mark Zuckerberg, who needs no introduction, has been doing this for nearly two decades.Even if you've yet to explore metaverse, virtual reality, and NFTs, Mark's insights to how he's been building one of the largest companies on the planet is a business class unto itself. This is also a great look into the possible use cases and the direction this innovative technology will grow within the next several years.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Mark Zuckerberg1:22 | Making the Metaverse Reality11:00 | Defining the Immersive Internet15:26 | Roadmap for Meta22:52 | NFT Altered Experiences37:44 | A.I. in Metaverse / 392442:44 | Metaverse Economy and Business Models44:56 | Meta's Approach to Decentralization49:43 | Rebranding Facebook57:30 | Confident Even With PushbackMeta NFT announcement at a glance:Starting this week we'll begin testing Digital Collectibles on Instagram, which will allow a small group of U.S. creators and collectors to share NFTs on Instagram that they have created or bought. In the future, we will also roll out Digital Collectibles on Facebook and allow people to display and share their digital collectibles as AR stickers in Instagram Stories, bringing the benefits of this technology to even more creators and collectors. Details on how digital collectibles will work:Creators and collectors in this test group will be able to post NFTs that they created or own on Instagram by linking third-party digital wallets in-app. NFTs displayed on the app will receive a special ‘shimmer' visual treatment and both the creator and owner of the NFT will be attributed for the content.Starting at launch, the blockchains that are supported include Ethereum and Polygon, with Flow and Solana coming soon.The third-party wallets compatible for use at launch will include Rainbow, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet, with Coinbase and Dapper coming soon.There will be no fees associated with posting or sharing a digital collectible on Instagram. Soon, we will roll out digital collectibles on Facebook, and will also soon allow people to display and share their digital collectibles as AR stickers in Instagram Stories, bringing the benefits of this technology to even more creators and collectors.Mark on NFTs as a form of expression:"I think our whole thrust as a company is around helping people connect and communicate. Part of communication is your exchanging information, but a lot of it is signaling and expression and kind of saying something about yourself and trying to find like-minded people and form communities and express your values… And I think that there's no reason to think that will be any different in digital spaces. That's a lot of what early social networks started off as, and I think that they've become more sophisticated in terms of helping people express and share and kind of project the expression that they want. But when I think about NFTs in the metaverse, I think if you're spending a lot of time [in the metaverse] – whether it's working in VR if a fair amount of your meetings are happening in virtual reality in the metaverse. Or, as a hologram sitting there with someone, then you're going to care about what you look [like] there. And, you're probably not going to want to wear the same thing every day, right? So you're probably going to have a collection of clothing and digital objects, just like you have clothing in the physical world. And you're going to want that clothing to be meaningful and express something about you. So you're not just gonna want it to be generic, like a lot of these early systems. What color shirt do you want? Which designer made it? Which creator made it? That's going to be meaningful. And I think that that needs a whole format for commerce. And I think NFTs are going to be a really important part of that."Follow Mark Zuckerberg:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zuck Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zuck/

Daily threats to our finances, freedom, and relationships, people are living on edge and tensions are high. Outburst at home during family time slips more often and road rage is becoming common behavior. Tensions are high and with that comes heightened emotional responses. Leonard Mlodinow is an American physicist, screenplay writer, and a five time NY Times best selling author. He and Tom discuss the context of being emotional and understanding how feelings shape our thoughts and our actions from his latest book, Emotional, How Feeling Shape Our Thinking. Leonard reveals the importance of knowing your emotional tendencies, how to regulate your emotions and make conscious decisions for a better emotional response. If you've ever thought people were either emotional thinkers or rational, this conversation is going to open your mind to a much bigger picture.Check out Leonard Mlodinow's book, Emotional, How Feeling Shape Our Thinking: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091PJ8BSJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Leonard Mlodinow1:45 | Emotions and Rational Thought11:03 | Emotional Reactions19:25 | Emotional Northstar32:11 | Mind Body Connection to Emotion42:03 | Emotional Tendencies & Malleability 46:44 | Wanting Things Vs.

If you think at any point, ‘I'm thinking purely objectively and rationally without any emotion's, you're just wrong.” [3:54]“Every thought that you have is influenced by your emotions.” [6:35]“Each emotion is a state of calculation.” [14:09]“If you don't want to feel that anger there's something you can do about it. That anger comes from an appraisal, [...] to reappraise it, you tell yourself a different story.” [17:59]“You want to look for an interpretation of what happened that is both true and optimistic.” Tom Bilyeu [32:53]“Liking is a little less direct than wanting.

He's showing people how to hack their behaviors and rewire their thinking for optimal performance and outcomes.Consider this episode a masterclass on all things dopamine. Dr. Huberman takes the complication out of neuroscience and simplifies how dopamine is tied to motivation, craving, and even perception of time. One of the many takeaways in the episode is that idea that small incremental steps towards a bigger outcome and purpose is worth celebrating if you want to get the benefit of dopamine rewards. Dopamine isn't necessarily about huge wins and achieving big goals. It's about the pursuit and craving of those goals. It's about enjoying the journey and not just focusing on the destination or result. The information Dr. Huberman is unpacking here is going to be significant to anyone in pursuit of a highly successful and meaningful life.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Andrew Huberman0:28 | Spike Dopamine for Motivation25:09 | Break Addiction to Negative Thoughts 44:06 | Master Focus, Reduce Overindulging1:10:46 | Pursue Challenge, Reward Small Wins 1:36:37 | The Power of DopamineQUOTES:“Celebrating the win more than the pursuit, it actually sets you up for failure in the future.” [1:48]“Dopamine itself is not the reward, it's the build up to the reward. And the reward has more of a kind of opioid bliss like property” [15:41]“Pursue rewards, but understand that the pursuit is actually the reward. If you want to have repeated wins.” [16:13]“Pleasure experienced without prior requirements for pursuit is terrible for us.” [17:22]“Agitation and stress were designed to get us up and move us, and when we try and fight that too much, and we try and quiet that stress, that actually can be problematic.” [37:11]“If you have negative thoughts, just remember, I can also introduce positive thoughts the same way I can control running around the block. Positive thoughts are the equivalent of forward physical action.” [42:16]“All the segments of your life are noted by peaks in dopamine, or the way that you happen to conceptualize dopamine.” [45:33]“When people's dopamine is low, they tend to overestimate, okay, okay. And when people's dopamine is high, they tend to underestimate time.” [47:47]“Dopamine is a very misunderstood molecule, it's often talked about only in the context of reward, [...] what's often not discussed is that dopamine is secreted in route to rewards...” [1:22:25]“The molecule dopamine when secreted in the brain, makes us pursue things, build things, create things, makes us want new things that we don't currently already have.” [1:42:45]Follow Andrew Huberman:Website: https://hubermanlab.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andrewhubermanlab Twitter: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab Podcast: https://hubermanlab.com/

So, it's a state of highly focused attention…” [8:11]“You may not be able to control what's making you anxious, but you can control how your body's feeling, you can control how your body is reacting to the stressor.” [18:11]“We don't see medication as necessarily being bad in the same way that we have with hypnosis [...] but it's still around because there's something powerful and helpful about.” [22:51]“Being open and accepting [and] concentrating very intently is a good learning strategy.” [26:44]“Providing intense emotional support can help people help their bodies cope with even a very serious illness.” [50:51]Follow Dr. David Spiegel: Website: https://www.reveri.com/hypnosis Twitter: https://twitter.com/dspiegeldavid

Likewise, it might be easy to assume that the only way to do so is through sophisticated AI algorithms and data science.Incredibly, Jane McGonigal and her colleagues at Institute for the Future have been able to predict several of today's most disruptive trends as much as ten years in advance.Through her innovative use of alternate reality games, hyper-specific journaling techniques, and something called “future backcasting”, Jane continues to not only lay out seemingly impossible future scenarios, but also help prepare people to be proactive in building the future they want to see.If you like what you see in today's episode, then I highly encourage you to check out Jane's latest book, Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything―Even Things That Seem Impossible TodayOrder your copy by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3JwImO2 SHOW NOTES:00:00 | Introduction01:40 | A New Approach to Futurism13:23 | The Psychology of Predicting the Future22:50 | Rehearsing Catastrophes32:56 | How to Practice for the Future38:18 | Crypto, Government, and Privacy48:31 | Future Backcasting53:54 | The Future of Web3 GamingQUOTES:“The brain normally assumes things will continue as they are.

When you're a high performer and someone on a mission to reach the highest levels of success, you have to set the bar ridiculously high and get after it. This becomes problematic for people when they've set unrealistic expectations and goals so high they start experiencing a sense of shame and failure. Can you set ridiculously high expectations and still be cool with imperfection? Tom reveals why it's so important for you to do and believe that which moves you towards your goals. When aiming for perfection hinders your performance and ability to execute, it's time to rethink your strategy.
