Michael Bernoff, founder of the Average Sucks brand and the Human Communications Institute, draws a roadmap that we can use to take our golf game from average to exceptional. “Winning,” Michael says, “has more to do with state of mind than an actual occasion. We want to make success easy and failure impossible.” Listen in as we talk about the cavernous mental gap between playing for leisure and competing with passion, and how a simple shift from one to the other impacts everything from our short game to our course management. Michael and I explore the power of self-belief, and how we can tap into an unstoppable mindset that can allow us to steer towards a more intentional and purposeful approach to personal victories, both on and off the course.   About Michael Bernoff: Michael is the President and Founder of the Human Communications Institute, a leader in the personal and professional development industry.

In addition to having long-term sobriety, Michael is the President and Founder of the Human Communications Institute, a leader in the personal and professional development industry. He works directly with individuals as well as corporate executives who desire to transform their corporate culture in an ever changing marketplace. His passion for his work is limitless and his dedication to positively impacting the world by empowering every individual is uncompromising. He's the developer of Human Interaction Technology™ (HIT), a potent tool that demystifies hidden psychological triggers and teaches effective communication strategies.

Michael is also the author of, Average Sucks: Why You Don't Get What You Want and What to Do About It, a guidebook that's revolutionized many lives, leading to healthier finances, improved physical health, lasting confidence, and yes, even long-term sobriety. We have a fantastic conversation. Michael shares his background and how he got sober and how he became involved in the personal development space. He shares concepts from his book including how to increase our capacity to grow bigger and what average sucks actually means. Michael shares ideas for real change and a wealth of inspiring information.  [04:38] Michael and Tim talk about the importance of sharing sobriety. It's important and impactful. [06:06] Michael shares his childhood background and the great neighborhood he lived in. [07:27] As a kid, Michael found something that he was good at, making fake IDs. He was also great at drinking. [08:42] He ended up at Arizona State University, the party capital of the world. [09:56] He failed and ended up in Junior College. He read How to Win Friends and Influence People. [10:42] Reading this book and realizing that he could get better at things, instantly started his journey of personal development at 19 years old. [12:42] When Michael was 21, he met Jim Rohn who mentored him. Michael realized that he had to be all of him to get what he wanted. [13:03] He became obsessed with personal development, books, and tapes. [14:42] Michael shares the time when he stopped fighting for what he wanted and started working hard for what he wanted. [17:38] Michael shares how he decided to stop drinking. He didn't want to enable others to drink. [21:09] More energy has been the most positive impact of stopping drinking for Michael. [22:50] People in recovery are attracted to Michael because he's going to hold them accountable to help them, and he offers a solution after recovery. [24:39] Start with figuring out what your definition of success is. You can have what you want, you just have to figure out what the price tag is. [26:08] Our capacity is always bigger. Continue learning and continue growing. [28:57] We all have an average inside of what we do. We need to learn how to raise what our average is. Average sucks because we live our average more than anything else. [29:38] When we raise our average to be what we would like it to be, our lives instantly get easier. [30:04] Michael breaks down limiting beliefs and how everyone says never again. Changing how we see ourselves is what really changes lives. We change our identity. [31:45] Our average is our identity, and the people we want and don't want in our lives. Limiting beliefs and how we identify. [34:22] Our identity is so powerful because our subconscious minds believe them. Identity and roles need to shift and change. [37:22] Michael shares stories of how his book has helped people. [38:57] How many things have you been lying to yourself about that aren't true and that are actually limits that you put on yourself? [41:51] Michael answers why it took him so long to figure it out. He didn't understand. He realized he was making decisions based on past choices. [44:22] Change the language for real change. [49:34] If people have better options, they will try better solutions. Love and connection are stronger than alcohol.   Links mentioned in this episode: Camelback Recovery I Love Being Sober YouTube Michael Bernoff Call to Action Michael's Programs Average Sucks Michael Bernoff Instagram MIchael Bernoff Facebook How to Win Friends and Influence People Jim Rohn

A fool has many faults but his most egregious is to be comfortable with mediocrity. A man's nature is to always look for opportunities to improve. If we settle for the crumbs of life we are selling ourselves short.Power, wealth, and success await the man that grabs ahold of each day and shakes out the possibilities. Both in good and bad,there is always opportunity to improve one's life.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, Jeff  is interviewing Michael Bernoff, the author of the book called, Average Sucks. He is a neuro-linguistic and language patterns specialist, among many other things. Today's episode is special because Jeff and Michael are going to reveal the secret about how to get past average!   Episode Highlights:  Michael understands real estate really well because he is an investor. He shares about his background and motivation to succeed. His parents always told him to work hard and be a good person. Michael studied the behavior of humans; His background in psychotherapy analysis and neurolinguistic programming helped him to understand what makes people do the things they do. There are two reasons we procrastinate: 1) We think we are perfectionists and we are actually just procrastinating playing the part of a perfectionist and 2) A language pattern you use wires your brain to respond in a particular way. Your biggest challenge is your average, it dominates every single thing in your life. What happens when we develop an average for ourselves?  What if you stop looking at what others do best and start looking at yourself? Talking about real estate, Jeff inquires, “I would like to know what is one of the biggest objections or the things that you feel like an average real-estate agent needs to overcome to get to another level?” Michael suggests, “In order to get where you want to go, one of the first things you should do is look in the mirror and ask yourself a very simple question - Are you where you want to be?” Michael recommends, “Do not beat yourself and accept you are not where you want to be. If you want to change, you have to like yourself.” In order to step out of the average mindset, people should figure out, “What was their original reason for making money?” Michael explains how he has worked through this question. Jeff  asks, “How do you keep somebody from talking themselves out of what they're capable of doing?” Michael shares tips on how to redefine what a person's real average is. What is the one thing you do more than anything in the world all day long?  Jeff and Michael discuss hacking your brain by evaluating what you do automatically and how to change the patterns. Michael has worked with about 50,000 real estate mortgage people, and over the years, the results people have received are amazing. Michael guarantees that participants of the Average Sucks Challenge will get more done in five days than they have in five months. He says, “You will love who you become by the time it ends.” Jeff wonders what the end game is for Michael; He asks, “Why are you giving the Average Sucks Challenge for free? Michael says, “The biggest thing we are fighting is an idea that we had that we thought was a good idea years ago.” He explains how your brain adapts to that idea. What was your original reason for doing the thing that you're currently doing? It all starts there.    3 Key Points: Michael always wondered, “Why are people dominated by a magnetic force to be who they were yesterday, last month, last year?” So, he dedicated his life to help people break out of that mentality. Michael teaches about psychological triggers and how to move on from your past to what you want. When was the last time you learned how to market yourself? Communication is the most underdeveloped tool that we have and it has the potential to help us reach where we want to go.  Jeff inquires about the challenge that Michael has for everyone- the Average Sucks Challenge.

Running your own functional medicine practice is hard, no two ways about it.

On this week's episode of the Average Sucks podcast, I sat down with Stedman Graham, author, educator, businessman, speaker, and foremost expert on Identity Leadership. This is a powerful interview where we dive deep into what we need to be doing right now so we can have our lives work for us -- despite our current or future circumstances. The world shifted almost overnight, and it's caused us to deal with a radical change in identity. We were gym owners, real estate agents, people who made things happen and -- in a split second -- many of use became homeschool teachers, unsure how we're going to make a living. This loss in identity has left many of us wondering how we now lead in our families, in our businesses, and in our lives when everything seems to have crumbled around us. Stedman explains there has never been a better time than now to work on ourselves and redefine our identity, and then build a foundation based on who we can actually be rather than where we are right now. If you're uncertain and shaky about your future, or if you find yourself wanting to go back to the way it was, you need to listen to this podcast because we go into detail about…. What you need to be working on right now to prepare yourself for the future world. How to get out of the survival state of mind and become a leader in your own life. What Identity Leadership is and why it's critical for your success. How to become relevant in the 21st century based on who you are and what you do well. And why, with everything going on right now, you're in the perfect spot to get what you want EVEN faster than you could before. Ladies and gentlemen, we have entered the YOU economy. It's time to stop putting yourself in a box and confining your ability to design, create, and build the life you want. It's time to step up and lead your life -- one that has meaning, purpose, and makes you happy.

Greetings, SuperFriends!

Through the Human Communications Institute, Michael has helped thousands of people transform their lives and raise their personal average through his signature events, audio seminars, one-on-one coaching, and more. He combines his natural talent as a communicator, his deep understanding of motivation, and a powerful ability to tap into virtually anyone's desire for success to unlock the mysteries to building charisma, influence, persuasion, and connection with others.

On this week's episode of the Average Sucks podcast, I sat down with Zach Bensen, founder of Assistagram, a company with a network of 220 million followers that guides influencers and Fortune 500 companies into social media success. Hotels and even countries around the world invite him to stay in some of the coolest places–for free. More impressive is that he built his company in 3 years, and still has time to manage his own Instagram network of millions. Yes, he's successful. But, as you'll hear, it's because he's relentless about living an above average life. In our conversation, Zac shares how he went from being a broke, professional breakdancer to being on So You Think You Can Dance and building a global 6-figure dance academy to running a multimillion dollar company with a network of 220 million Instagram followers. But it's the stories in between his successes–how he lived on $2 a day for an entire year, let down his parents numerous times, got fired, destroyed his dance career due to injury, and struggled with depression–that's really inspiring… The key moments where he was faced with adversity, disappointment, and failure, and refused to accept defeat. We all have these moments in our lives. Yet, far too few of us take that leap of faith and don't stop moving forward toward our dreams. If you're an entrepreneur or influencer, make it a priority to listen to this episode because Zac shares a few insider tips including… How to get yourself out there and build a social tribe to increase your influence. The #1 mental shift you need to have if you want to influence others online. His top 3 pieces of advice for brands wanting to sell on Instagram. Zac and I also discuss his simple formula for how to succeed on and offline. It's so simple, it will blow your mind. And it's a formula anyone can implement immediately.

When things go sideways in life, do you have a plan in place to protect yourself, your family and everything you've built from taking an unnecessary hit? When something major happens in your life, do you know what actions and steps to take to prevent yourself from taking a hit…mentally, emotionally, financially and physically? IN THIS LATEST EPISODE OF MY AVERAGE SUCKS PODCAST OUR GUESTS WERE PEOPLE FAR AND WIDE THAT JOINED ME LIVE TO ASK REAL AND RAW QUESTIONS. REAL QUESTIONS, LIKE… How do I make sure I can keep my business open? How do I manage a divorce in the middle of this economic crisis? How do I sell my product to people who aren't even able to conduct business? This episode of the Average Sucks show is all about fear, uncertainty, and confusion that has surfaced in the face of the COVID19 Pandemic. This crisis has turned life as we know it on it's side. And whether we're faced with this again on a worldwide level, or something happens in our own personal lives. We must be prepared. People that are able to face challenges head on have an above-average mindset. People that bounce back quickly when struggles occur have above-average mental toughness. In this podcast I also share a simple “3P” process that is easy to remember and will keep you on track. Like I've been saying, nobody likes running from behind. Nobody wants to be the one struggling too catch up. Listen to this and BE ONE OF THE ONES RUNNING OUT FRONT. Playing catch up is average behavior and Average Sucks. Raise your average – take the steps. We're all in this together!

Anyone who is in or has been in a relationship knows that it needs constant hard work and communication from both parties to make it work. In this week's episode of the Average Sucks podcast, I sat down with Slade and Diane Carlson, owners of Core Chiropractic Arizona. Before Slade and Diane launched their practice, they were at a loss about how they would be able to work together. They wanted to find a way to make the relationship become something that grows in their lives. Each of them had a bustling career of their own. Slade was working on his radio show while Diane was busy with her career as a chiropractor. They've had a brief relationship before Slade moved to San Diego and took part in the Core Strength Experience course. After a year, they've reunited again and Diane found significant changes in Slade. He was now better at communicating, more relaxed. Whereas in the past, he used to run away so much. It's evident that Core made Slade better at communicating what he thinks and feels, sparking the chain reaction of them they were able to get married, open up a practice, get it in operation, and move twice all for the sake of the relationship they've decided to build. In our conversation, Slade and Diane share the secrets behind successfully working together with your spouse. They give helpful recommendations such as switching one's mood to help separate relationship issues from work as well as the effective communication methods everyone must learn to do in every relationship. If you're ever in that position of not knowing what to do to improve the communication within your relationships - this is the podcast you surely can't miss. During our conversation, they were able to provide valuable advice for couples who are considering working together. Among many great inputs, they shared… “Fix yourself first and build that life that you want instead of waiting for somebody to come rescue you or save you“ “Drop the fear of change, the fear of making a decision, the fear of what might happen, the what-ifs. If you don't you're gonna lay in there wondering why you didn't at the end of the day.” Relationships can be the most powerful part of someone's life or the most painful. It only matters who you ensure it with and how you plan on going past the obstacles that threaten the relationship. Listen to this podcast to learn how Slade and Diane have moved past their troubles with communication in their past relationship and used it to change their new life together for the better. You'll gain insights and tips to improve your own relationships so you can RAISE THAT AVERAGE!

Anyone that has an entrepreneurial streak in them knows that along with that excitement, freedom and payoff comes a ton of hard work, frustration, tenacity and patience. In this week's episode of the Average Sucks podcast, I sat down with Brint Hiatt, Managing Attorney at HPS Law Group LLC. Anyone can take a look at Brint and easily see he's a guy who has it all. He's a work hard, play hard kind of a guy who has a wonderful family; a beautiful wife, five healthy children, a successful business and still makes time for travel, date night and personal development events. He has a lot of great stuff going on. However, he's still not where he wants to be in life because he has an entirely new level he wants to reach. He wants to Raise His Average. In our conversation Brint shares stories about the challenges he's faced growing his business and managing his responsibilities while he had to push past the thoughts and beliefs that were keeping him stuck. If you've ever questioned whether you can trust the people around you, or you've felt anxious about the decisions you're making - this is a podcast you'll definitely want to listen to. And...As you listen to Brint and I talk about where his lack of trust came from you may just find yourself realizing where your own frustrations come from and finally be able to put them aside. You know the old school saying “Expectations minus reality equals frustration.” During our conversation, Brint and I helped uncover the truth behind his frustration by giving him another perspective and resetting his expectations. Among many other great questions, I asked him… What if you can teach people to be better than you? What if you allowed people to be better than you? What if the only thing that's stopping you is that you're incorrect? As entrepreneurs, we're all drawn to the idea that only we are the ones that can do the best job for our companies, when in fact, we're simply setting ourselves up for failure when we try and get help from other people to do what we ask them to and expect them to do exactly as we do. Listen to this podcast to learn how Brint pushed past these typical business challenges.  You'll gain strategies you can use to improve your own life and business and...Raise That Average!

It's true, trauma can prevent you from achieving GREATER THINGS IN LIFE. When something bad happens to someone, they have a choice.  They can either use it as a motivator to succeed...or get sucked up in the trap of avoidance, addiction and a life full of twists and turns down roads going nowhere. Bad day at work? Eat junk. Things with the spouse are getting rocky? Drink. Can't cope with the loss of a loved one? Take a few pills. People that have experienced pain and trauma often have unhealthy ways of dealing with the hurt...and they often times walk day in and day out faking it...masking the pain and sadness. And why? Because hiding is easier than dealing with the pain. That's exactly what my guest, Theo Fleury, did for many years.  While maintaining what looked like a functioning life on the outside, even while playing in the NHL, Theo filled his life with bad decisions, addictions and chaos.  In my podcast this week you'll hear this really cool conversation I had with Theo, former NHL player and author of “Playing with Fire.” He's an advocate-turned-activist who spent years fighting for mental health and addiction. He shares stories about his early life as a hockey player, his traumas, his experiences as a motivational speaker, and his insights about overcoming trauma and the best kind of treatment anyone can get for free. Listen to this podcast and learn from THEO how he rewired his brain against trauma. Theo knew that if he didn't learn to rewire his thoughts, he would eventually return to making bad (average) choices that led him down a destructive path. And as we say here, AVERAGE SUCKS. Listen to this, especially If you've ever wanted to ditch the victim mentality and bring out the winner you know is inside you, you'll want to listen to this episode now! The best is yet to come, Michael Bernoff
