“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask… for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” - Albert Einstein A good question might just be the most powerful tool you have in your communication arsenal. Why? Well to start, questions are the vehicle through which we understand ourselves, exchange information, build rapport in relationships and persuade others.

We are featuring clips from Episode 173, 175, 192, 196, 212, 213, and 216. These guests include Colin Boyd and Jenny Rearick, who will talk about presentations and speaking, as well as Dan Feldman, Ali Kershner, Randy King, Rico Incarnati and Drew Manning, who will discuss topics such as professional development, setting boundaries, motivation, content creation, storytelling, inspiration, willingness to do hard things, and self love. AI was used to help curate some of the best moments out of several hours of content to produce this episode.Highlights"Now what I didn't realize at the time, it was an irresistible offer because out of the 137 people, 125 of them gave me their personal details to follow up. I had a little fishbowl jar that I got from the 99 cents store at the back , but . I literally had 125 pieces of paper with people's names and details on that.So I followed it up and, and did a whole bunch of like free coaching. And from there I ended up signing 12 full-time paying clients. So I went from zero to hero in my own mind of like do it building my coaching business. Four days later a director from HP calls me and says, love the presentation. Can you come and speak at our next global training day?""one of the key things to distinguish yourself amongst other professionals at that level is how well effectively and confidently you can communicate""most of my clients don't pay anything out of pocket to see me. I bill their health insurance companies and health insurance companies pay me, which is very, very cool.""my official title is Director of Creative Strategy. Now, what that means is part marketing, part facilitating, I teach our workshops. I do our mentoring online, one-on-one coaching. So I have my hands in a little bit of everything and I've had to learn pretty much any skill.""I ran a gym, a gym in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, called KPC Self-Defense for 15 years. And through that platform, I jumped international. And now my full-time job is public speaking and talking to people all around the world about self-defense, self-protection, and mostly my focus is all of the skills that lead up to a physical encounter and ways to deescalate ahead of time because the people I serve are not just martial athletes and fit people. Self-defense is for everyone. So whether you are 75 years old or 13 years old, your self-defense strategy shouldn't rely on being a young fit human.""if you're someone who's brand new to making videos, if you're someone who has no idea what to do, the number one reason most people get crippled is because they're like, I have to have the perfect plan. I have to have the right lighting. I have to have the right camera. Like you have an iPhone, you have a Samsung, whatever you wanna say. Like, these cameras are machines now these phones are machines. You have something in your pocket to start making content.""When you live an unhealthy lifestyle, you eat lots of processed junk foods, you don't, you know, you're not exercising. How that factors into you as a human and you as a father, as a mother, and you as a spouse, you as a business owner, you know, and all your relationships. And how it all stems from living a, a, a, an unhealthy physical lifestyle and how that carries over into other aspects of your life. Because a lot of people don't realize that."

Our guest today is Dr. Andrew harman, a Professor of Virology and Immunology at the University of Sydney School of Medicine and an ordained Buddhist who has much insight on how Buddhist practices and philosophy can help us deal with change, restlessness and uncertainty in our fast moving world. He shares how acceptance of your reality can help bring about calm. Dr. Harman and Pooja talk extensively about how we may need to reset our definition of "happiness" – instead of desperately seeking out happiness through exciting, impermanent experiences, things, people or moments, we might instead think of happiness as a state of equanimity which is defined as mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper. Equanimity, according to Dr Harman, comes from doing the inner work and obtaining wisdom and insight from it.In other words, from a Buddhist standpoint, real happiness is maintaining a state of inner peace no matter what is happening in the outside world.In this very special discussion, Dr. Harman also answers how science and Buddhism go hand in hand, why Vipassana mediation may not work for some, and how Albert Einstein may be the best role model to date in helping us see how spirituality or religion can add value along with science in helping us live with more grace, calm, rootedness, and compassion.--Bio:Andrew Harman is a Professor of Virology and Immunology at the University of Sydney School of Medicine where he is a level 3 supervisor in the theme of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation. He is a member of the Partnerships Advisory Group and the chair of the High School Liaisons working group. He is also the Deputy Director of the Centre for Virus Research at the Westmead Institute for Medical Research.Andrew has been working at the Westhead Health Precinct since completing his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2002. He has extensive collaborations with surgeons at Westmead and other Western Sydney Hospitals who provide his research group with a large range of human tissues with which he conducts all his research. He leads two research groups at the Westmead Institute for Medical Research, in the Centre for Virus Research and Centre for Immunology and Allergy Research. These groups investigate sexual transmission of HIV and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, such as Crohn's Disease.Andrew's technological expertise lies in the ability to isolate functionally intact immune cells from human tissue and to visualize immune cells within these tissues. He is an expert in characterizing human tissue immune cells using high parameter single cell technologies including flow cytometry, imaging mass cytometry and RNA sequencing. Andrew also has access to clinically relevant HIV transmission strains derived from infected individuals in sub-Saharan Africa and has developed RNAscope technology to visualise these HIV strains interacting with target cells within 30 minutes of exposure.--Follow Professor Harman:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-harman-00a8b3123/https://www.sydney.edu.au/medicine-health/about/our-people/academic-staff/andrew-harman.html#collapseprofileteaching Follow & Attend the World Happiness Fest:https://worldhappiness.foundation/fest/about/--More on this Podcast: https://www.calmandfreepodcast.com/For more from Host Pooja Mottl: https://www.poojamottl.com/Podcast Producer: https://www.go-toproductions.com/Twitter @PoojaMottl: https://twitter.com/poojamottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast https://www.instagram.com/thecalmandfreepodcast/and @PoojaMottl https://www.instagram.com/poojamottl/LinkedIn: @PoojaMottl https://www.linkedin.com/in/poojamottl/--Special Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro: https://www.sites.google.com/view/textproserocknroll/homeJessica Panian https://www.jessicapanian.com/ for her help with our graphic design: https://www.jessicapanian.com/
In this special exchange, Pooja and Professor Negi discuss the central tenants and urgency of compassion, a focus of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. Dr. Negi expands on how although humans have made tremendous progress from an outward, material standpoint, we have neglected to develop the core inner values that lead to contentment and inner peace. In other words, we have been focused on educating the mind, while forgetting to educate the heart. Dr. Negi shares how compassion is linked to the idea of safety and security in a world with so much diverse thought, biases, and differing groups of people. It is in this kind of world, especially, that people need to feel safe. He shares that at the heart of compassion is a sense of meaningful, tender connection with each other, and that creates a sense of security and trust, happiness and love.Pooja and Dr. Negi also uncover the links between traditional Tibetan Buddhist mind training practices called "Lojong", which systematically look within, closely observing what triggers our emotions. This scientific examination parallels some of the main practices and strategies used in CBT, originating in the 1960's by Dr. Aaron Beck, globally recognized as the father of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and one of the world's leading researchers in psychopathology.--LOBSANG TENZIN NEGI, Ph.D. is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics at Emory University, formerly the Emory-Tibet Partnership. Prof. Negi is also a Professor of Pedagogy in Emory University's Department of Religion and the founder and spiritual director of Drepung Loseling Monastery, Inc., in Atlanta, GA. Over the past two decades, Prof. Negi has been a pioneer of compassion training programs for adults and children and he has contributed to the development and burgeoning of compassion science through his research initiatives and collaborations. Through his center, Prof. Negi has developed and now oversees three programs, which are dedicated to expanding compassion and engaging in research. In 2004, Prof. Negi developed CBCT® (Cognitively-Based Compassion Training), a secularized contemplative program based on Tibetan Buddhist mind training practices that deliberately and systematically works to cultivate compassion. He also oversees SEE Learning™ (Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning), a program that develops and implements curricula for kindergarten through university level education for the education of heart and mind. The third program of the center is the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative, a program he developed, at the invitation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to develop and implement a comprehensive modern science curriculum specifically for Tibetan monastics. Prof. Negi was born in Kinnaur, a remote Himalayan region adjoining Tibet. A former monk of 27 years, he began his monastic training at The Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamasala, India and continued his education at Drepung Loseling Monastery in south India, where in 1994 he received the Geshe Lharampa degree. Prof. Negi completed his Ph.D. at Emory University in 1999; his interdisciplinary dissertation centered on traditional Buddhist and contemporary Western approaches to emotions and their impact on wellness. His current research focuses on the complementarity of modern science and contemplative practice.--Follow Dr. Negi's work:http://www.tibet.emory.eduhttp://www.drepung.orghttps://compassion.emory.edu/https://seelearning.emory.edu/node/5https://compassionshift.emory.edu/ Follow & Attend the World Happiness Fest:https://worldhappiness.foundation/fest/about/--More on this Podcast: https://www.calmandfreepodcast.com/For more from Host Pooja Mottl: https://www.poojamottl.com/Podcast Producer: https://www.go-toproductions.com/Twitter @PoojaMottl: https://twitter.com/poojamottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast https://www.instagram.com/thecalmandfreepodcast/and @PoojaMottl https://www.instagram.com/poojamottl/LinkedIn: @PoojaMottl https://www.linkedin.com/in/poojamottl/--Special Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro: https://www.sites.google.com/view/textproserocknroll/homeJessica Panian https://www.jessicapanian.com/ for her help with our graphic design: https://www.jessicapanian.com/
