White Belt Masters Podcast

Though a bit different from Never Split The Difference, in this episode we explore the negotiation of life and relationships. Meaning, what is the purpose of negotiations and what are different negotiating paradigms. Again we must explore what our values are and what are we trying to get out of this situation. In any case, we must strive for and always look for a win/win. Today we look into Habit 4: Think Win/Win Link for the book: https://amzn.to/32xnUuf --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Have you ever imagined your death and wondered what people would say about you? How people would feel by your death? How many people you may have influenced or not influenced? Do you ever live your life with the end in mind? As we continue on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Habit 2 is aptly titled Begin with the End in Mind. How often are we living for tomorrow or today? YOLO is the term isn't it. Yes its true, you only live once, so how are you living it? If it's for having a good time and partying it up, great. If it is, then what're you leaving behind? Will people remember you for the good you've contributed to the world or will they just remember you as that guy who was at that party or threw that party? Let's explore what this means and let's also explore where our principles and values are in our life to which we are directed by like a compass.

What is the one thing that involves us all? Our Health of course! Relationships, finances, emotions, your career – none of these matters if you don't have your health. So why do we put so little emphasis on it? Or maybe we put emphasis on it yet we do not ACT on them? Maybe it's just a lack of understanding of how things work.

Do you ever feel stuck in your life? Do you think it's because you keep rationalizing things to yourself which could be why its hard for you to move forward?

What controls your life? Do you ever stop to think about that? Why haven't you done/did/performed/accomplished XYZ? Why are you where you are and not where you want to be? Two forces: Pain and Pleasure. These two little words dictate our life. It's what steers us either in the right direction or the wrong direction. In this episode I will tell you what I learned from learning about Pain and Pleasure and how they control what we DECIDE to do in our lives. I will also share with you my answers to the assignment which gets a little personal, more so than what I am used to or even like.

In Day 3 of the Ultimate Edge, we explore what drives human behavior. If you're ever sick and tired of where you are in life, you're not alone. Do you repeatedly see yourself asking the question, Why Does This Keep Happening To ME?! You can blame the world, God, circumstances, etc., all you want, but let's get to the most painful part, it's most likely YOU that's to blame. This is not to say in a bad way. It's to say that we walk around life like a zombie - we don't focus on what we actually focus on. Power = Ability to Act. Get in the habit of seeing the outcome you want in your life and going after it. In this episode you'll learn about Tony's Ultimate Success Formula and how you can apply it immediately.

In Day 2 of the Ultimate Edge, we explore what Tony calls his Hour of Power. If you're one of those people who get up in the morning without a purpose or ritual, then this is a MUST listen for you. "Priming" yourself every day is a MUST for attacking the day and attacking the world's issues that comes down on you like a rain of hell fire. It's difficult as it is in this world of superspeed information and trying to cash in on the number of followers and likes. You have 24 hours in a day, how you decide to spend each of those hours is important, so why not take 4.2% of the total time you have in a day, that's 1 hour, and use it to empower you through physical and mental exercise.

So I took a journey into Tony Robbin's world of personal development. I purchased his Ultimate Edge program amidst the pandemic because well, I wanted to be mentally and emotionally ready for what's to come. Now I have attended his seminar 13 years ago and continue to listen to his insights on YouTube and Podcasts however I wanted to go through a structured program and it has been great for me. It's not going to change you overnight but you do find out more about yourself and what you should start doing and thinking. I've journaled my Ultimate Edge journey and I wanted to share with you all what this programs about and my answers to the assignments on the Ultimate Edge program. I hope you learn something from this and I hope you think this can help you tremendously as well. I have no affiliation with Tony Robbins but as a personal recommendation I think this could be helpful for anyone looking to improve their outlook on life. Grab a pen and paper and take some notes. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did going through it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Anyone else here having a tough 2020? Well I am pretty much sick and tired at this point. I have lost many loved ones in the last 9 months and they're not due to COVID-19 and I am extremely lucky that hasn't been the case for me, however something strange in the air this year and that has impacted my personal life. When events like this happen, what do you do? Do you cower and hide away? Do you point your finger at everything other than yourself for blame? Is God the problem? Or Why would God do such things? For me, I try to be grateful. I have lost many this year yet I am grateful to have experienced life with them. I grateful I wakeup next to my wife and kids and see them breathing. I am grateful I am an American who can strive for my dreams, whatever they may be. I am Sick and Tired, but I have not Given Up because I am Blessed and what a way to throw away your blessing when you still have so much. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

If you knew that dementia and heart disease was linked to sleep, would you finally put more attention to getting quality sleep? If there's anything that has stopped me in my tracks and changed my life in that very instant I listened to and read something, it's the book "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker. Matthew Walker is Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Founder and Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science and I am so appreciative that he came on Joe Rogans podcast and the 2 hours they talked was so profound that I went and read his book and even more WTF'ed me. We all know sleep is important but I don't think we understand how important it is until you listen to his interview as well as read the book. Hope you enjoy this episode as I discuss some of the key points of the importance of sleep from his book and his podcast interview.

Sometimes in life you will face adversity and the only way to get through it is to go through it. Today I want to tell you about a time where I thought I prepared my butt off for something I thought I wanted, fell flat on my face, and then pivoted, and got what I wanted. In these unprecedented times, don't get down on yourself, get back up and get after it. Things are hard but they always will be and should be. Let's change our mindset to one of GET AFTER IT vs. ITS AFTER ME. Some motivation I got from this podcast via the following podcast episodes or their respective YouTube Channels: Jocko Podcast #64 : Jocko Podcast 64 w/ Andy Stumpf: A Debt That Cannot Be Repaid.
