Podcasts about burn your couch

Rick Alexander was in the Navy for 12 years, serving in special operations the entire time as a special operations combat medic and BUD/S instructor.  He'd reached the goals he'd set for himself to be among a small group Navy's most elite special operators.  Still, the voice inside him was nudging him that there was more.  He was hearing a call to new adventures outside the Navy - something that would require a bold leap into the unknown.  Hear Rick's story of making that leap, where he is now an author, speaker, personal development coach, and PhD candidate studying the intersection of mythology, psychology, and spirituality in the human quest to find meaning.Rick is also an avid endurance athlete having run over 200 miles in body armor in one punishing event, among many other ultra-marathon suffer-fests he's completed.  And he still reserves the right to drop punishment on you as the Chief Growth Operator for The Special Forces Experience (thespecialforcesexperience.com), a multi-day, post-traumatic growth experience for men that takes place in Northern Ontario, Canada and the Pacific NW, USA. Rick hosts a podcast called A Thousand Names for God that can be found on Spotify, iTunes and more. His books "Burn Your Couch" and "Ambitious Heroes and Heartache", his lecture series and other content can be found on his website: https://rickalexander.com.Enjoy!

Rick Alexander returns to the show for a very informative and eye opening discussion about psychology, overcoming fear, politics, endurance sports, and life! Rick is the author of Burn Your Couch and Ambitious Heroes and Heartache, and the host of the Morning Coffee Podcast. From his website: Rick spent 12 years in the United States Navy as a Special Operations Combat Medic and has completed multiple ultra-endurance events including a 240 mile run in body armor, to raise money for the children of fallen heroes. As such his work draws on this depth of experience in order to help people craft meaningful lives while in the heat of adversity. His current work is focused on the intersection of spirituality and psychology. You can hear his ideas on the podcast, Morning Coffee with Rick Alexander which airs Monday through Friday or by checking out his latest book, Ambitious Heroes and Heartache (available in all formats). If you are interested in having Rick speak to your organization or club please send an email to rick@rickalexander.com. His two current lectures are centered around Cultivating a Meaningful Life and Managing one’s own Psychological Wellness and Mental Health during times of Adversity.

Recently in my meditation and contemplation, I’ve really felt the need to share part of my story on the show. I’ve had the idea for someone to interview me on the show for a while now. But I really wanted to make sure that whoever came on the show to interview me, that challenges me to be a better person. And what better person to have asked me questions about my past and my journey than Rick Alexander. Not only has he been a former guest on the show in its early release, but Rick has also been one of the people in my life whom I deeply respect and resonate with.    This week, Rick Alexander, host of Morning Coffee, sits down and asks me to share parts of my journey that I haven’t shared on the show before.

Time To Burn Your Couch with LionHeart Radio's Rick Alexander!  Rick is a writer, speaker and performance coach. He's also the author of Burn Your Couch available on Amazon! As an ex-special operations veteran and ultra-endurance athlete, Rick crafts content to help lead people through adversity and into a life of meaning. You can hear his ideas on his podcast LionHeart Radio which air's Monday through Friday or by picking up a copy of his debut book, Burn Your Couch. ( BurnYourCouch.com (https://amzn.to/2QoHe8M) )   On This Episode You Will Hear:[spp-timestamp time="00:10"] Introduction and a regular co-host shout out to Dr. Megan Cannon, Sports Psychologist for getting Rick and Scott introduced. Plus Scott knocks Rick’s bio intro and killed it! [spp-timestamp time="04:00"] It's interesting because if you let the wrong thing get into the driver's seat when you're going through your life, it's going to make you miserable. It goes back to that classic quote like how are you supposed to move forward if you're always living behind or something like that. It's one of these is something different manifestations of that quote, but it's is so true. [spp-timestamp time="06:24"] Why do you have to go back? If you served, then you have that honor and that respect. You can move on to start a whole new chapter. [spp-timestamp time="08:00"] Three of the most top psychologically strenuous things that you can go through in your life. [spp-timestamp time="14:00"] That's the thing, an existential crisis we've made that you literally ignore your call to adventure and you continue to do the things that you think you're supposed to do or you have all these obligations that are essentially self-imposed, right? [spp-timestamp time="18:00"] If you're really growth minded, that kind of a lifestyle is rough, and I don't wish it on anybody, because it means you got to leave relationships, leave jobs and you leave states. If you're going to honor the process of what growth really requires, that means that you are going to grow away from certain things that are really comfortable in it and that you might enjoy. [spp-timestamp time="20:45"] I think that it's entirely possible to find people that you're going to grow with. It's just way harder. [spp-timestamp time="22:52"] One of the mindset shifts for me that it was a literal life changer was focusing on what you do want vs you don't want. Something that's really changed my life so you know, I don't want to go broke is much different than I want to make six figures this year, right? [spp-timestamp time="25:20"] Preconceived notions and ideas. Cognitive researchers believe that you don't know about 95% of what goes on in your own brain. [spp-timestamp time="27:00"] Writing is a process where there's not a lot of validation. [spp-timestamp time="31:20"] We're in a culture of doers, so you just keep doing, and doing, the path just keeps getting further and further away from where you really want to be at times. [spp-timestamp time="33:29"] You need to protect your energy, you can end up somewhere miserable, burnt out and exhausted. Then you're going to hate what you're doing because I've literally gone down that road of hustle. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ... “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” ~ Carl Jung [spp-timestamp time="37:00"] History of LionHeart. We had all CrossFit athletes that we sponsored, which is why we started the show. [spp-timestamp time="42:52"] I found the beauty in life which is outside of rigidity. [spp-timestamp time="44:04"] It's serendipitous. The morning coffee podcast episodes on LionHeart. [spp-timestamp time="46:00"] I kept denying that call to adventure and because of that, I delayed what I...

Rick Alexander is an entrepreneur, an athlete, an active member of the military, and an author, and he's really good at all of those things. That's hard! In this episode we spend a lot of time discussing how Rick decided to write his book “Burn Your Couch”, the experiences that influenced it, and the impact he hopes it will have on the world. Rick is the kind of guy who would rather run the 12 miles to work than drive his Mercedes in the morning. He thinks in a way that I find very different than most people and because of that, this episode carries a unique tone to it that I think you will enjoy. Rick can be found at: @run.lift.evolve @lionheartradio www.RickAlexander.com

George picks the brain of Rick Alexander, fitness coach, endurance athlete, and author of "Burn Your Couch." We hope you enjoy their take on ultra-long distances and dealing with pain.

Today, Grant and Heavey are joined by Rick Alexander, a Special Operations combat medic, the host of LionHeart Radio podcast and author of the book, Burn Your Couch, as they discuss what it’s like to run ultramarathons and what it takes to do them. Ultramarathons are painful, so why do people do them in the first place? Also, Rick dishes out some great nuggets of wisdom related to happiness and checking items off your bucket list.

Author of Burn Your Couch, Rick Alexander is human movement advocate, military veteran, and ultra endurance athlete. We talk about his book, why you seek adversity daily, choice architecture, mindset, and intentional lifestyle design. If you refuse to settle for the status quo, then this episode of the OPP has your name all over it. Rick is a human movement advocate, US Military Veteran, entrepreneur who owns 2 businesses, podcaster, author of the upcoming book Burn Your Couch and an ultra-endurance athlete, who recently finished the Tahoe 200, where he ran 205 miles in 76 hours. Rick, like many of us, is intensely curious about the limits of our potential - both physical and mental. He's constantly pushing his own boundaries, documenting them through his podcast, articles, and now his book (and an upcoming project we discuss on the podcast) so that he can help others do the same in their lives. This is fantastic glimpse into the mind and habits of one of the strongest-minded individuals you will ever meet.  My Big 3 Takeaways Don't confuse comfort for happiness. Expose yourself to adversity as often as possible - even daily as Rick does. Take time to reflect. Many of us are committed to life-long growth and evolution, but it is the stillness between experiences that allows us to identify our gaps or blind spots that we need to strengthen in order to continue growing. I hope you enjoy this show as much as I enjoyed recording it.
