In today's educational landscape, we often find ourselves confined by the limits of traditional learning. While our system has its strengths, it also holds us back from reaching our full potential as individuals and practitioners. Focusing solely on one area of study narrows our perspective and restricts our growth, both personally and professionally.The most effective healers, coaches, and practitioners recognize the value of combining different approaches to learning and practice. They understand that true mastery comes from embracing diverse perspectives and methods. Together, we'll challenge the norms of education, uncovering hidden truths and practical solutions for the emotional challenges we face.✅ Follow Yoni on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/earthsedgewellness/ ✅ Work with Yoni https://www.earthsedgewellness.com/✅ Follow Coach Royce @roycelaguerta

Endurance News: PeopleForBikes Staff to Speak at Upcoming CES Tech Convention January 4, 2022 BOULDER, COLO. (Jan. 4, 2022) /ENDURANCESPORTSWIRE/ – PeopleForBikes, a national bicycling advocacy nonprofit and the U.S. bicycle industry's trade association, will have several staff members participating in panels and presentations at the upcoming CES trade show, taking place Jan. 5-8, 2022 in Winchester, Nevada. CES — the most influential tech event in the world — has been the global stage for innovation for more than 50 years. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association, CES is the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators. “We could not be more excited and proud to have members of our team speaking at such an important conference,” said Jenn Dice, president and CEO of PeopleForBikes. “We know that technology like electric bicycles have a massive potential to completely revolutionize the way Americans recreate and move about their everyday lives. Having the opportunity to share our work and knowledge with such a large audience will only grow PeopleForBikes' and the bike industry's role as thought leaders in this space.” PeopleForBikes, Call2Recycle and industry leaders from Alta Cycling Group and Bosch eBike Systems will be sharing the latest information on the industry wide electric bicycle battery recycling program during a panel on Wednesday, Jan. 5 from 1:30 to 1:55 p.m. Anticipating a massive increase in electric bicycle use for both recreation and transportation, more than 40 bike industry leaders from 20 PeopleForBikes member companies worked together to design the nationwide program. It aims to address the environmental concerns with lithium ion battery recycling and ensure batteries at their end of life end up in the proper recycling stream and out of landfills, and represents the first transportation sector united under one battery recycling solution. PeopleForBikes Director of Federal Affairs Noa Banayan will join Dave Snyder of CalBike for an update on the federal e-bike policies, like the E-BIKE Act and three-class definition. The E-BIKE Act would offer Americans a refundable tax credit of up to $1500 on the purchase of a qualifying new electric bicycle. Banayan will also provide larger updates on the role of e-bikes in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the status of the Build Back Better Act, which proposes nearly $12 billion for bikes, including the e-bike tax credit, a bicycle commuter benefit and climate and equity infrastructure grants. “In 2021, policymakers at every level of government in the U.S. began to leverage the power of e-bikes to meet larger policy goals on climate change, economic growth, equity and mobility,” said Banayan. “In 2022, PeopleForBikes aims to promote meaningful and wide reaching incentives for e-bikes and bike riding in 2022, including the E-BIKE Act and the Bicycle Commuter Act before Congress.” Ash Lovell, Ph.D., PeopleForBikes' electric bicycle policy and campaign director, will join a panel on Thursday, Jan. 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. on the opportunity electric cargo bikes provide for urban delivery. The panel, which will include speakers from the University of Washington's Urban Freight Lab, Coaster Cycles and BrightDrop, will cover electric cargo bike's role in the future of last-mile delivery and micromobility and what regulatory and legislative considerations need to be accounted for to make their adoption a reality. What's New in the 303: El Tour De Tucson Rob Quinn Style_Apacheria Part 3 By Rob Quinn, Dirt Journal Dateline 1736. Twenty miles south of the Mexican border. Rancher Bernardo de Urrea, a Mexican of Basque heritage knew all too well what a full moon meant. It meant a higher-than-average chance of raiding Apaches who routinely swept through the Rancheros in search of plunder but so far, de Urrera's little slice of paradise had been left alone. Named after a Basque term that roughly translates into sturdy oak, he named his Ranchero Arizona. And the rest as they say is history. One threat that's accompanying the full moon for me, is the 38th annual El Tour de Tucson 102 mile bike race. I say race because the entire course is closed to traffic and your time is recorded and a winner named. Although it has the laid-back vibe of a Ride-the-Rockies type event, the clock is ticking and you see a higher degree of effort. I've done the event a dozen times starting when we lived in San Diego over 30 years ago. It's a great way to end the season and keep the training up. It's also a fun getaway for my non cyclist (a little Mountain biking) wife who is flying into PHX Sky Harbor airport (always liked that name, reminds me of a Dead or Panic song) then driving down to Tucson aka “The Old Pueblo” the next day with me. This is a multi-part series on Rob's journey to the Southwest to ride his mountain bike and road bike, Part one: HERE, Part two HERE That leaves time for one more ride. I may be stupid but I'm not crazy. If you noticed I never mentioned my road bike in the previous two articles, it's because you'd have to be absolutely bat-shit nuts to ride a road bike in Phoenix. This comes from a guy that rode nearly every day for a decade in Southern California. I had my eye on an open space park called Papago Park close to our place and ASU for some off-road miles. www.tempetourism.com Described as 1,500 acres filled with hiking and biking trails, picnic areas and lagoons. What it does not mention that until recently, it was home to one of the largest homeless camps in the state. That sort of defined the area enough that when we were looking for a place for Paris Hilton (my daughter) and a nice condo in our price range was open, right across from the great trails? We passed. The camp has since been disbanded, but not unlike the desert of Apacheria, that area can be filled with outlaws and boogiemen when the sun sets. I take off from our condo in full trail kit. 34 pound trail rig, loaded Osprey and a baggie kit. You'd have thought I was dressed like an astronaut by the looks of my neighbors as a I muscled the rig down the recently repainted steps. It's about a 3 mile ride through Tempe and across the Tempe town lake to the park. Riding on the sidewalk with headphones off, all senses needed, I am almost hit three times. The Tempe town lake is interesting. About 20 years ago they dammed the end of the Salt River and the next week that area hosted the annual IRONMAN race. It's the only time you can swim in that lake. You can SUP, crew, or Kayak but no touchy! Which I find one step down from torture if it's a balmy 115 out and you can't jump in the lake? We all have our definition of hell. No wonder the ASU Mascot is the Sun Devil. Out of harms way I cruise into the park. It's 12 noon and around 90 degrees. The forecast calls for a 20 degree drop for El Tour. When I enter, I see a picnic table of middle aged males drinking and smoking weed. At the top of the hill, I see a Tempe PD SUV. Just like the Law shadowed the outlaws in the old days, some things never change.

Endurance News: PeopleForBikes Staff to Speak at Upcoming CES Tech Convention January 4, 2022 BOULDER, COLO. (Jan. 4, 2022) /ENDURANCESPORTSWIRE/ – PeopleForBikes, a national bicycling advocacy nonprofit and the U.S. bicycle industry's trade association, will have several staff members participating in panels and presentations at the upcoming CES trade show, taking place Jan. 5-8, 2022 in Winchester, Nevada. CES — the most influential tech event in the world — has been the global stage for innovation for more than 50 years. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association, CES is the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators. “We could not be more excited and proud to have members of our team speaking at such an important conference,” said Jenn Dice, president and CEO of PeopleForBikes. “We know that technology like electric bicycles have a massive potential to completely revolutionize the way Americans recreate and move about their everyday lives. Having the opportunity to share our work and knowledge with such a large audience will only grow PeopleForBikes' and the bike industry's role as thought leaders in this space.” PeopleForBikes, Call2Recycle and industry leaders from Alta Cycling Group and Bosch eBike Systems will be sharing the latest information on the industry wide electric bicycle battery recycling program during a panel on Wednesday, Jan. 5 from 1:30 to 1:55 p.m. Anticipating a massive increase in electric bicycle use for both recreation and transportation, more than 40 bike industry leaders from 20 PeopleForBikes member companies worked together to design the nationwide program. It aims to address the environmental concerns with lithium ion battery recycling and ensure batteries at their end of life end up in the proper recycling stream and out of landfills, and represents the first transportation sector united under one battery recycling solution. PeopleForBikes Director of Federal Affairs Noa Banayan will join Dave Snyder of CalBike for an update on the federal e-bike policies, like the E-BIKE Act and three-class definition. The E-BIKE Act would offer Americans a refundable tax credit of up to $1500 on the purchase of a qualifying new electric bicycle. Banayan will also provide larger updates on the role of e-bikes in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the status of the Build Back Better Act, which proposes nearly $12 billion for bikes, including the e-bike tax credit, a bicycle commuter benefit and climate and equity infrastructure grants. “In 2021, policymakers at every level of government in the U.S. began to leverage the power of e-bikes to meet larger policy goals on climate change, economic growth, equity and mobility,” said Banayan. “In 2022, PeopleForBikes aims to promote meaningful and wide reaching incentives for e-bikes and bike riding in 2022, including the E-BIKE Act and the Bicycle Commuter Act before Congress.” Ash Lovell, Ph.D., PeopleForBikes' electric bicycle policy and campaign director, will join a panel on Thursday, Jan. 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. on the opportunity electric cargo bikes provide for urban delivery. The panel, which will include speakers from the University of Washington's Urban Freight Lab, Coaster Cycles and BrightDrop, will cover electric cargo bike's role in the future of last-mile delivery and micromobility and what regulatory and legislative considerations need to be accounted for to make their adoption a reality. What's New in the 303: El Tour De Tucson Rob Quinn Style_Apacheria Part 3 By Rob Quinn, Dirt Journal Dateline 1736. Twenty miles south of the Mexican border. Rancher Bernardo de Urrea, a Mexican of Basque heritage knew all too well what a full moon meant. It meant a higher-than-average chance of raiding Apaches who routinely swept through the Rancheros in search of plunder but so far, de Urrera's little slice of paradise had been left alone. Named after a Basque term that roughly translates into sturdy oak, he named his Ranchero Arizona. And the rest as they say is history. One threat that's accompanying the full moon for me, is the 38th annual El Tour de Tucson 102 mile bike race. I say race because the entire course is closed to traffic and your time is recorded and a winner named. Although it has the laid-back vibe of a Ride-the-Rockies type event, the clock is ticking and you see a higher degree of effort. I've done the event a dozen times starting when we lived in San Diego over 30 years ago. It's a great way to end the season and keep the training up. It's also a fun getaway for my non cyclist (a little Mountain biking) wife who is flying into PHX Sky Harbor airport (always liked that name, reminds me of a Dead or Panic song) then driving down to Tucson aka “The Old Pueblo” the next day with me. This is a multi-part series on Rob's journey to the Southwest to ride his mountain bike and road bike, Part one: HERE, Part two HERE That leaves time for one more ride. I may be stupid but I'm not crazy. If you noticed I never mentioned my road bike in the previous two articles, it's because you'd have to be absolutely bat-shit nuts to ride a road bike in Phoenix. This comes from a guy that rode nearly every day for a decade in Southern California. I had my eye on an open space park called Papago Park close to our place and ASU for some off-road miles. www.tempetourism.com Described as 1,500 acres filled with hiking and biking trails, picnic areas and lagoons. What it does not mention that until recently, it was home to one of the largest homeless camps in the state. That sort of defined the area enough that when we were looking for a place for Paris Hilton (my daughter) and a nice condo in our price range was open, right across from the great trails? We passed. The camp has since been disbanded, but not unlike the desert of Apacheria, that area can be filled with outlaws and boogiemen when the sun sets. I take off from our condo in full trail kit. 34 pound trail rig, loaded Osprey and a baggie kit. You'd have thought I was dressed like an astronaut by the looks of my neighbors as a I muscled the rig down the recently repainted steps. It's about a 3 mile ride through Tempe and across the Tempe town lake to the park. Riding on the sidewalk with headphones off, all senses needed, I am almost hit three times. The Tempe town lake is interesting. About 20 years ago they dammed the end of the Salt River and the next week that area hosted the annual IRONMAN race. It's the only time you can swim in that lake. You can SUP, crew, or Kayak but no touchy! Which I find one step down from torture if it's a balmy 115 out and you can't jump in the lake? We all have our definition of hell. No wonder the ASU Mascot is the Sun Devil. Out of harms way I cruise into the park. It's 12 noon and around 90 degrees. The forecast calls for a 20 degree drop for El Tour. When I enter, I see a picnic table of middle aged males drinking and smoking weed. At the top of the hill, I see a Tempe PD SUV. Just like the Law shadowed the outlaws in the old days, some things never change.

This week, Cory speaks to author and keynote speaker Alex Banayan. Banayan is the author of the highly anticipated book release of “The Third Door,” which covers a decade-long journey tracking down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg and dozens of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers. The Third Door is available in bookstores everywhere, including Amazon, iBooks, Audible and thirddoorbook.com. In this week’s episode, Banayan talks about coming up with the idea for his book as a college student, funding his book by hacking The Price is Right, common traits of successful people, a 2-year journey of landing an interview with Bill Gates, and more. “SOMETIMES STATISTICS CAN BE REALLY MISLEADING BECAUSE THEY’RE ASSUMING THAT THERE ARE NO WAYS TO IMPACT THE VARIABLES.” As a pre-med student destined to become a doctor, Alex Banayan was miserable. “I was laying on this dorm room bed staring at these biology books, feeling like they were dementors sucking the life out of me.” Instead of his textbooks, Alex really wanted to read a book on how successful people got to where they are now. Since that book didn’t exist, the then 18-year-old set out to write it himself. But before he could write the book of his dreams, he had to earn enough money to support himself while writing it. Instead of studying for his finals, Alex decided to test his luck on The Price is Right. The odds were against him even getting called down to compete on Price is Right, but Alex spent all night learning how to “hack” the show and beat the odds. “Sometimes statistics can be really misleading because they’re assuming that there are no ways to impact the variables,” said Alex. Alex impacted those variables and won prizes worth over $30,000. But this was just the first step of what became The Third Door.
Coming to ya live from Coacha Sacramento, we had the privilege to sit down with New York Times best selling author of The Third Door, Alex Banayan! Alex shared with us about overcoming personal hardships during his seven-year journey writing the book, how he crossed paths with Dutch Bros, some great advice for our younger listeners, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
Written by Alex Banayan, The Third Door chronicles his journey to interview the world's most successful people and distill their knowledge into actionable advice for a younger generation. https://thirddoorbook.com/ This idea hit home for me because it was extremely similar to the reason why I started this podcast - the idea that the world's most successful people were just like the rest of us as some point in our lives. And even us "average" people have words of advice and experiences to share that we can all build on. I recommend listening to the audio version of this book on Scribd. It was narrated by the author himself and his energy and passion is evident and contagious. https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/379601958 If anyone out there knows how to get in touch with Alex Banayan, help me out! I would love to interview him for this show. Myles@RTJMedia.com

Our guest today is Alex Banayan. For those of you who don’t know Alex, he is the author of The Third Door, where he documented 7 years of chasing around celebrities and extremely successful individuals including Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Warren Buffet, and Larry King.

I love a good story and today’s guest, author Alex Banayan has a great one – so much so that parts of it have become part of my husband Chris and I’s daily walks. Thank goodness I met him in person when Chris interviewed him so I knew whose stories he was actually talking about. ;) Another fun coincidence, we’ve both been on the Price Is Right, but Alex actually WON and used those winnings to fund his new book, The Third Door. Alex shares with us his seven-year book journey that lead him to interview some of the world’s most successful people to show how they broke through and launched their careers. But let’s not downplay the fears and obstacles that Alex had to navigate through as well. From disappointing his family and losing his father to insecurity and being turned down by potential interviewees, Alex was persistent and now helps others conquer obstacles of all kinds – internal and external. Alex truly is a gifted storyteller and I know you’ll be able to relate to some many facets of his journey. You don’t want to miss it! -- Question Highlights: Now that your book is out in the world, what has been a response that you weren’t expecting? What was the whole point of writing your book? What does pain with awareness look like for you right now? Do you think there’s always a way for anything you choose or just for the moments when your gut pulls you that way? Have you ever had to let go of helping someone in your life because they’re not ready to help themselves? What was a story that freed you up the most? What is something that shook you before your book came out? What are you most excited about right now? Who is the ultimate person you want to read your book? In This Episode We Talk about: Alex’s seven-year book journey Using pain as a motivator Evolving motivation Alex’s insecurity while writing The Third Door How Alex’s pain evolved into curiosity How Alex’s Price Is Right winnings funded his book Why being naïve can be an advantage The difference between fear and courage Why Alex’s family didn’t initially support his book Welcoming fear to get more comfortable How fear was a universal element in achieving a dream in all the people Alex interviewed Sharing in order to connect with others How to conquer internal and external obstacles And so much more… Quotes “Pain with awareness is our teacher.” “You can give someone all the best tools and knowledge in the world and their life can still be stuck, but if you change what someone believes is possible, they’ll never be the same.” “Courage is acknowledging fears, analyzing the consequences and then deciding you care so much about it you’re going to take one thoughtful step forward anyway.” -- ALEX BANAYAN is the author of the national bestseller The Third Door, which chronicles his five-year quest to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Warren Buffett, Maya Angelou, Steven Spielberg, and dozens more of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers. Banayan has been named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, Business Insider’s Most Powerful People Under 30, and been featured in major media including Fortune, Forbes, Businessweek, Billboard, Bloomberg TV, CNBC, Fox News, MSNBC, and CBS News.

Imagine being set on a trajectory for the majority of your life, only to wake up one day questioning whether or not you’re on your path or a path someone else put you on. This is what happened to my guest and author, Alex Banayan. From an early age, Alex’s parents’ dream was for him to become a doctor, and up until his freshman year in college it was what he thought he wanted to – until he realized it didn’t. Upon this realization, he attempted to seek the answers for how other successful people got their start – only to realize that such a book didn’t exist. Overcome with inspiration and a drive to write one on his own, he knew he had to find the funds to back this passion project. Having trouble thinking about anything but this project, the day before his freshman year final exams, he made the decision to trade an all-nighter studying for exams with one on how to hack The Price Is Right. With a slim chance of actually winning, Alex beat the odds, won a sailboat, sold it, and used the prize money to fund his quest to learn from the world’s most successful people. Throughout our conversation, we talk all about his seven-year journey to write The Third Door and all the rejections, “flinch” moments and courage that took place to make it happen. Alex is an EPIC storyteller, which you’ll hear in this episode and his book. There were so many goose-bump-inducing moments and nuggets of valuable insight shared and I can’t wait for you to experience all of them and let me know your thoughts, too. Of all the authors I’ve interviewed, this is literally my favorite book so far. Go out and grab his book ASAP – you won’t be sorry! -- Question Highlights: Who is someone who’s changed your life? What’s your favorite speech you’ve ever given? What’s one regret that you have? How did you end up interviewing the world’s most influential people? How do you hack the Price Is Right? How many names made the list and how many made the book? Who was the coolest person you ended up meeting? Who made you the most nervous/prompted the biggest “flinch?” What’s your advice to get over your “flinch?” What was the worst rejection you received? Were there any people along the way that pulled you back on track and didn’t allow you to quit? Who did you want to interview that you weren’t able to? Where did you get this obsessive persistence from? What would you say is the single-most-important lesson of your book? Now that you’ve spent 7 years knocking down doors, is it fate or luck that finally allows these things to happen? Or is it good old-fashioned making it happen yourself? How do you view money, success and wealth after writing The Third Door? In This Episode We Talk about: How Alex went from an 18-year-old pre-med kid whose parents’ biggest dream was for him to be a doctor to interviewing some of the world’s most influential people Alex’s big win on The Price Is Right Where the list of people started when he first set out to write his book, The Third Door The journey of getting through to influential people What the crippling “flinch” is The fear that was present in all the successful people he interviewed The difference between fear and courage Rejection and two lessons Alex learned from it What fueled Alex’s persistence when writing his book Why Alex believes luck accounts for 90% of his success The role generosity played in his book Why you don’t become a billionaire on a salary And so much more… -- Alex’s Thoughts… “The most extreme expectations are the ones that aren't explicitly said.” “Courage is acknowledging how scared you are, analyzing the consequences, and then deciding that you care so much about it you’re going to take one thoughtful step forward anyway.” “The core belief was like a thread that, even in my darkest times, I could hold onto and it kept me from calling it quits.” “The only thing worse than an unproductive hour is quitting all together.” “Persistence is the means of achieving the goal.” “The soul of the book is possibility.” “You can give someone all the best tools and knowledge in the world and their life can still be stuck, but if you change what someone believes is possible, they’ll never be the same.” “The strongest lessons are the ones that are never said.” “The hard work is the last 10%.” -- Alex Banayan is the author of the national bestseller The Third Door, which chronicles his seven-year quest tracking down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Warren Buffett, Maya Angelou, Steven Spielberg, Jane Goodall, Steve Wozniak, Jessica Alba, Larry King, and dozens more of the world's most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.

At age 18, on the day before his freshman year final exams, Alex Banayan, author of the acclaimed new book "The Third Door", hacked the TV game show The Price Is Right, won a sailboat, sold it and used the prize money to fund his quest to learn from the world's most successful people. Alex went on a seven year journey tracking down people like Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, Jessica Alba and many others. Alex was on a mission to uncover how these individuals broke through and launched their careers. He even chased Larry King down in a grocery store and snuck into Warren Buffet's shareholders' meeting. In his book, "The Third Door" Alex shares all of his lessons. In this episode we talk about what he learned from all these fascinating people, but what I took away the most is that his story is just as fascinating, and what he has to share is just as valuable, as all of the big names he interviewed. Alex has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and The Business Insider's Most Powerful People Under 30. Alex is quite the force and he's just getting started.

Mike recounts the lessons he has learned along the way - from touring with Justin Bieber, making music in between, and wake up calls along the way.

Who would skip studying college finals to study how to hack the 'Price is Right' as a means to pursue their dreams? Who would spend seven years of their life on a wild quest to uncover how the world's most successful people launched their careers? Who? Alex Banayan. With the money he pocketed from winning the show, Alex went on a 7-year journey to gather the wisdom of world leaders: Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Lady Gaga, Mark Zuckerberg, Steven Spielberg, Jessica Alba, Warren Buffet, + many more. What was it like interviewing these leaders? What were key nuggets he took away? What did Bill (specifically) teach him? What was going on in Alex’s mind during these encounters? Alex shares it all, including his creative process, preserving through his fear of failure, and how this journey changed him. The three things Alex asks himself every day: What made me feel the most alive today? What sucked the energy out of me the most today? What did I learn about myself today?

At 18, Alex Banayan set out on a seven-year odyssey to discover how dozens of the biggest names in business and entertainment, including Maya Angelou, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, launched their careers. Now, that journey has culminated in his soon-to-be released book, 'The Third Door.' Banayan says they all have one thing in common. They entered through the “third door.”
To hear “Come on down!” on the Price is Right isn’t just about luck or persistence, it’s also about a secret. That secret is the third door. When Alex took a hard left turn in life, leaving the path through medical school that his family had anticipated since his birth and started working on a book about the underpinnings of success, he found that door. He set out to write the book he needed to read. The irony is that he figured out as much on his JOURNEY to interview successful people as he did from the luminaries themselves. Though there is no substitute for first-hand experience, Banayan has a lot of wisdom to share about hacking success. This is a great story and features a guest appearance from our friend Cal Fussman. Lessons: 1. The writing’s on the wall; you just don’t think it’s for you. 2. Go knock on people’s doors. Literally. 3. There are three doors in life: the one you wait in line for hoping to get in, the VIP entrance for the privileged, and the third door. There’s always a way in if you look for it.

“When you change what you believe is possible, you change what becomes possible." - Alex Banayan.When presented with the need to make a decision, do you often tend to choose the safest path? What is the difference between desperation and obsession when pursuing an objective? Have you articulated your dreams, goals, mission in life... and if so, thoughtfully considered your plan towards fulfilling them? Join host Chris Schembra in this week's episode of his podcast series, 7:47 Conversations, as he welcomes Alex Banayan, a venture associate named to Forbes' annual '30 Under 30' list. The day before his freshman year final exams, Alex hacked "The Price Is Right", won a sailboat, sold it, and used the prize money to fund his quest to learn from the world’s most successful people. In their conversation, Mr. Banayan explains the genesis of his dream to write the self-help book that he sought to read.Alex embarked on a seven-year journey to interview industry leaders of business and finance, media, the arts and sciences, and collect their acquired wisdom, mantras, and personal stories about finding professional passion. In sharing this knowledge, Alex hopes to help others define their journey and identify their purpose. "The book is the vessel to share this collected knowledge," he explains.Cherishing mistakes, taking a break when needed, tapping the hidden reservoir in all of us, doing it "your way," and journaling to uncover "why you're doing what you're doing" are all valuable lessons shared within its pages, and expressed in enthusiastic detail throughout this heartfelt conversation. It becomes clear why the writing of this book turned into a true passion project, and how there is always another way of thinking about a challenge or decision... There is always a "third door."In 2015, the 747 Club was founded by Mr. Schembra to create a conversational environment promoting Authenticity ~ Empathy ~ Vulnerability ~ Safety. In sparking dialogue between people from disparate backgrounds and experiences, with different interests and viewpoints, a sense of community is formed within this shared experience, creating real understanding and an acceptance of others. Through this podcast, a wider audience will now learn about the 7:47 Club’s incredibly important mission.If this is your first listen, welcome... and if you've become an ardent listener of this podcast, welcome back. We're glad to have you in the 7:47 Club family.
