Today is part 2, following on from last week. Make sure you visit Mark's websites here and here for some free resources, his awesome book and if you'd like to book him as a speaker. Dr Mark Williams an internationally recognised professor of cognitive neuroscience, with over 25 years experience conducting behavioural and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills. He has taught the fundamentals of neuroscience to a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as publishing more than 70 scientific articles. Mark has been awarded numerous high profile fellowships and grants, and worked both at MIT in the USA and at universities in Australia.

Mark has been awarded numerous high profile fellowships and grants, and worked both at MIT in the USA and at universities in Australia.He recently took voluntary redundancy to focus on making the many recent discoveries in cognitive neuroscience more accessible to the general public. His academic background allows him to communicate with authority on science and his passion for education makes him accessible to a wide audience.Not a typical ‘academic', Mark comes from a disjointed family background. He hated school and experienced first-hand the challenges of getting ahead in a small town in Victoria. To describe these years as ‘colourful' is an understatement.Aged 25, something changed. Mark returned to learning, completed his HSC and began what became a rapid rise to academic achievement, including being awarded both the CJ Martin and the Queen Elisabeth II Fellowships. He became fascinated with how we interact, learn and think. Mark went on to study brain plasticity, attention disorders, autism, prosopagnosia (face blindness), dementia and eating disorders. He has been at the cutting edge of developing computational brain imaging analysis and the adoption of new technologies like virtual reality in research.He now runs programs for schools and businesses on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions and the impact of modern technologies (like smartphones) on our brains. He has considerable media experience, with many television and radio appearances featuring his research on topics ranging from facial expressions, emotions, racism, through to how the brain processes smells and why we can't tickle ourselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This was one of those podcast interviews that I did not want to end. Thankfully, Mark was very generous with his time, so we have split it into 2 episodes, with part 2 to come next week. We discuss how your brain is an illusionist, a range of subconscious biases that we all suffer from, the neuroscience of learning and the huge importance of social connection for a healthy brain.

In this episode, we sit down with CJ Martin to talk about his experiences with international fishing trips. CJ tells us about our he found Lake Baccarac on a fishing trip with friends and the Lake Baccarac Lodge in Mexico. He was immediately hooked (pun intended). Since that first trip, he has gone back many times, at this point, multiple times a year. He tells us what is different about the fishing there and what you can expect. If you are not all in on fishing, these trips are not for the faint of heart. You are on a boat fishing for 12 hours a day on most days. During these trips, he has made many good friends, and this year they put together a big trip to go fishing in Columbia. They were at a riverside lodge deep in the Amazon. CJ explains that the big catch there is the peacock bass, a species of freshwater cichlids. His largest catch on the trip was a 19.5 lb fish, and he hopes to beat it on his next trip. We also take a deep dive into swimbaits and learn about some of CJs favorites. @cydandliamsdad // @swimbaithooligan_bassclub https://revivalmotoring.com/

This week, we went over to CrossFit Invictus in downtown San Diego to meet up with some of the very best athletes in the world. This week’s six-for-one special includes insights from four Games competitors and two Invictus coaches about what it takes to go from great to the greatest. In our first segment, we talk to training partners Garret Fisher and Holden Rethwill about how their workout styles compliment each other, how they train for such an unpredictable athletic event, and how to know when it’s truly time to give their bodies a rest. Next up, we talk to weightlifters and Games competitors Maddy Myers and Lauren Fisher about the challenges they face as dual-discipline athletes, how they’ll decide when it’s time to specialize, and what it’s like to enter this field as new athletes––only to discover you’re the best in the world. We round the conversation out with the coaches who got them this far, CJ Martin and Tino Marini. CJ’s trained over 40 individual athletes to Games, and Tino’s coached alongside him since 2012. We talk to them about these four athletes, and what makes them stand apart from even the most elite in the field. Enjoy the show! Mike P.S. And if you want to follow any of these athletes or learn more about them head over to the blog. We've posted their social media accounts here.
The California Regionals are all wrapped up and the coach we are presenting in today's show is responsible for getting 30 athletes there. If there is a powerhouse coach in CrossFit®, CJ Martin of CrossFit Invictus is it. In this episode, we dive into the mind of one of the best coaches in the sport of CrossFit and discuss the process CJ goes through to groom his athletes, the importance of sticking to a training program and the role of strength in the sport of CrossFit. With the road to the CrossFit Games becoming increasingly more demanding, athletes are pushing their physical and mental boundaries further than ever before. As a result of this increasing demand, successful athletes must possess a strong mindset and it's just as important as being “fit enough”. Along with how he's training athletes to get to the Games physically, in this episode, CJ shares with us how he builds mental fortitude within his athletes and what it is like to deal with the pressure of being a competitive athlete in the sport of CrossFit. Whether you aspire to compete at Regionals or the Games one day or you're just looking for some valuable insight to improve your competitive, athletic mindset, this episode is a must listen. Enjoy the show, Mike
