My guest on today’s podcast is Adam Siddiq who believes in using energetic discipline to optimize your soul, life and emotions to achieve peak performance and leave a positive impact on the world. If you’re listening to this show, you’re probably the type of person who’s enlightened enough to know that the healthy response to being cut off in traffic isn’t to succumb to shallow road rage, but rather to plug into forgiveness, understanding, and calm. But let’s be realistic: that’s far easier said than done. Adam brings incredible value to our conversation today, partly in his explanation of how he approaches this sort of everyday aggravating situation from an elevated response rather than letting himself fall into a reactive state. Find Out More About Adam Here: adamsiddiq.com Adam Siddiq on LinkedIn @AdamMSiddiq on Twitter @theadamsiddiq on Facebook In This Episode: [02:06] - What are some of the things Adam has done that have created the greatest impact in optimizing his soul and spirituality? [06:33] - One key thing to do is master your energy state, Adam reveals, and then explains why. [09:07] - Stephan gives the example of someone cutting you off on the freeway to demonstrate how easy it is to fall into a reactive state from the lower mind. Adam then explains how he comes at situations like this from a more elevated response. [13:54] - Adam relates a story Tony Robbins has told of meeting Nelson Mandela. He then relates this to what he has been saying about perspective and focusing on the bigger picture. [19:02] - For listeners who aren’t already familiar with the term, Adam explains what an entrainment is. [21:45] - Adam describes an experience he had at an airport when being between two payphones gave him an instantaneous migraine headache. He then memorably points out that “we’re drowning in information, but we’re starving for wisdom.” [26:14] - Stephan steps in for a moment to share a little bit of his own transformation, explaining that he’s completely unrecognizable from who he was before Tony Robbins helped him achieve a significant breakthrough. [27:27] - Adam and Stephan compare how many Tony Robbins events they have each been to. Stephan then explains that Tony Robbins is the reason he met his soulmate. [29:06] - We return to the topic of the three seasons: the season of discover, the season of transform, and the season of awaken. Stephan and Adam dig into this topic in more detail. [33:41] - Adam brings up the fourth (and most powerful) season, which is the season of integrate. [34:41] - Stephan talks about the perspective of someone who isn’t familiar with Donny and is seeing entrainment for the first time. He describes how odd it might look, then he and Adam talk about what causes the physical contortions involved in the process. [41:30] - Stephan describes what he has discovered about himself as an external person, and explains how the description of an external person matches his own traits and tendencies. Adam then shares a powerful multi-generational family story involving Donny’s entrainment process. [48:42] - Stephan draws out some of the threads of what Adam has been saying about his grandfather. He then shares one of his own profound entrainment experiences involving a former employee. [54:34] - We hear about Adam’s new book, Shackled, which tells his grandfather’s story. He describes some of his fascinating and intense family history. [60:01] - Adam outlines the second reason he wrote his recent book. [62:19] - We can change both the future and the past for our lineage, Stephan explains, if we come from a place of soulful connectedness. [64:00] - Adam finishes off the conversation by sharing some suggested resources for listeners.

The previous episode of Hack the Process marked the end of the first season. At this point, I thought it would be a good idea to take an episode to review what I’ve discussed with the different guests, and share a little more about what my motivation was to create this podcast and put it out into the world. I’ll also tell you a little bit about what I was expecting from this podcast, and compare it to what actually came out. (I’ll give you a hint: it was a delightful surprise.) First of all, I want to thank all my guests from the first season: Tracy DeLuca, Adam Siddiq, Pace Smith, Paula Jenkins, Malek Banoun, Vinay Patankar, Alex De Simone, Andrew Nance, Ron Lichty, Ankit Shah, Hampton Catlin, Tara Byrne, and Ryan Waggoner. I don’t know if you fully understood what you were getting yourselves into when we started, but I appreciate each of you being so candid and open with our interviews. Your generosity and honesty made the season what it was. One of the things I like to bring to my work no matter where I’m working or what type of project I take on is the notion that it’s valuable to reflect–on a regular basis–on what you’ve accomplished, and think about how you might want to move forward based on that. I’m taking episode of Hack the Process as my opportunity to reflect on what I’ve done so far, and what I hope I’ve been able to provide to listeners. If you’ve been following the show, this episode will be an opportunity to find out how each of the guests on Hack the Process was selected, and remind yourself about the insights, stories, and ideas they shared. If you’re a new listener, this will be a chance to find out a little bit about the people we met in the previous episodes so you can decide if you want to subscribe and go back into the first season archives to take a listen to anyone in particular. Either way, I hope you’ll enjoy hearing more about why I decided to do this, and what I’m learning along the way. If you feel motivated to share some of your own experiences with the show, please leave a comment on iTunes.

In this episode, we hear from Adam Siddiq, a performance coach for millennials, and a podcaster who hosts the show The Soulfully Optimized Life. Adam discusses overcoming anxiety in his own life, and learning to listen to the source of his motivation to help others. And if you listen carefully, you may find out why he believes "our soul is what's connected to the umbilical cord to the mothership of life."
