When I get into something, I get into it. I'm working with an energy healer who's got me running in my underwear, in the snow, barefoot. He says, do 72 steps in the snow, barefoot and it will help your energy. I'm having cold showers each day. I'm doing exercises snacks and after this interview I'll go on the chin-up bar and do some pull-ups just for a minute. That's one example of focus, and it feels good to me. What Anger Are You Holding? I don't identify it as anger, but I think almost all of us have some. For me it occurs as frustration. I've been living with anxiety and depression for twenty years. I had some trauma as a kid which apparently is still impacting me. After twelve years ago I started feeling tired quite often and had some trouble sleeping. I've tried so many different things to work on my energy and it's working to the point that I can sit here with you and it feels good right now. About three o'clock this afternoon I'll probably do a meditation and then hopefully I can go out and be with friends, but sometimes I can't. I would think that after fifteen years of working on this, I would have power over it. Bullying Story After high school, and when I discovered personal growth, and I discovered communication, and I discovered tough conversations, my coach kept encouraging me to clean up my past and make lists of people that I resented and that I was holding anger against. So I would make the lists and then my coach said, now you have to call them. Through good coaching I managed to find my way to call a guy that I used to like and we were friends, but he would bully me. He would make fun of me in class and he would put me down and get the other kids riled up against me. I didn't want to call him because I thought he would think I was an idiot. My coach said, start with that. And so I called him and said, I was afraid to call you because I was afraid you would think I was an idiot. I told him, I felt pushed around and bullied and belittled by you at school and I've been holding onto that for twenty years.  I just wanted to let you know. He said, what can I say or do now to help us move forward? I couldn't believe that this guy I thought was such a jerk, could say something like that.Related Episodes 423 Play Life For Real With Coaching Icon, David Wood Using The Success Principles During Challenging Times; Jack Canfield Work With Bruce Have you been trying to lose weight or quit smoking.

Do you constantly start things but never finish them? Do you fail to make decisions and procrastinate? Do you find yourself distracted by "the next new thing" and then you attention fades when the newness wears off? If you answered yes to any of these question you may be suffering from Shiny Object Syndrome. Shiny Object Syndrome is a disease of distraction typically affecting entrepreneurs. It is called Shiny Object Syndrome because it is the equivalent of a small child chasing after something shiny and new. The issue with those who have it is that they are constantly abandoning their focus because they are always drawn to new ideas. To quote today's special guest, Life Coach David Wood, " Shiny Object Syndrome is a freakin' epidemic among high performers, and the human mind is like a monkey on crack!" David will explain what he means by that. David says that it creates stress and overwhelm but that it can be easily overcome. His process is simple:1) Choose the Right Mountain. 2) Climb Twice as Fast. His clients create extraordinary results by developing laser focus and doubling productivity. A former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies -including Sony Music, Chanel, and Exxon -David left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to build the largest coaching business. David is no stranger to overcoming challenges himself, having survived a full collapse of his paraglider and a fractured spine, witnessing the death of his sister at age seven, and suffering from severe anxiety and depression. He was nominated to the Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray,and Marianne Williamson. David coaches rock star entrepreneurs and executives to overcome Shiny Object Syndrome, and transition to peaceful focused action.

David Wood is today's guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast. Now this isn't his first appearance on the show as he recently appeared on the show back in June 2019 We discussed many things on that show as his entrepreneurial journey has led him through many different dots, and its the joining of his dots that are so remarkable. As he said on the show: “When you're 10,000 feet ABOVE the Himalayas hanging from a piece of cloth, you see life differently”. He holds the viewpoint that life is the best game there is and asks: Are you playing for REAL? He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders to play the best game they possibly can, deepening connection and living a regret-free life. How? By setting life-changing goals, laser-focused action, and increasing their levels of Truth, Daring, and Caring – in both life and work. He loves sharing his message of Playing for Real on live stages, podcast interviews, and radio shows, and has been best described as “playful and deep”. How The Dots Joined For David A former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies – including Sony Music, Proctor & Gamble, and Exxon – David left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to explore both the outer world and his own inner world. Along the way, he's coached thousands of hours in a dozen countries around the globe and is the author of “Get Paid For Who You Are,” with foreword by Jack Canfield. He is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, Marci Shimoff, and Vishen Lakhiani. So is it simple enough to say that the children of the world who spend their time playing actually are the keys to our adult life? And after listening to his new podcast, why does he struggle with failure as much as the rest of us? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr. David Wood.

By Michael Tetreault, Editor-In-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today/The DPC Journal and Host, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast The Society of Actuaries (SOA) commissioned Milliman to develop this report to provide health care stakeholders (patients, payers, policymakers and actuaries) with a comprehensive description of Direct Primary Care (DPC) as well as an objective actuarial evaluation of certain claims made about the DPC model of care. Today we sit down with one of the authors of the study, Fritz Busch, a consulting actuary at Milliman. Fritz's experience includes 27 years as an actuary and business leader in the insurance industry. Prior to starting at Milliman, he was with one of the larger Blue plans and had several consulting roles with McKinsey & Co. His commercial carrier experience includes a wide range of actuarial plan management functions that include reserving and annual statement work, trend analysis, commercial large group pricing, ACA individual and small group pricing, Medicare Supplement pricing, benefit plan design and product development. At Milliman, he has successfully worked with a variety of clients including regulators, insurance company executives, and others. He is a frequent speaker at industry and public policy meetings. Primary care is a vital and even foundational component of any health care system. Primary care physicians (PCPs) are the front line of health care and are often the entry point for patients needing care. How often a patient accesses primary care, and the quality of that care, can have significant impacts on downstream costs and patient health outcomes. However, while PCPs are almost universally acknowledged as essential to achieving the health care Triple Aim of providing high-quality care, at lower cost, with improved patient experience, many health care experts describe the current state of primary care as being in crisis. This crisis is characterized by physician burnout, large PCP patient panels, low pay for PCPs relative to other physician specialties, increased administrative burden, longer work hours without increased reimbursement, an increased risk of mental health conditions and suicide, and ultimately a PCP shortage relative to market demand.

"Our desires get unexpressed when we are not expressing it completely". - David Wood What are the benefits and consequences of speaking the truth? Truth is an essential part of your relationship, it is like the backbone of it, and without it, your bond can never get stronger. That's why speaking the truth in all aspects of your life strengthens the foundation of anything you do. On average, a person lies about 11 times a day. That seems crazy to think! There is an advantage to not fitting into the average. When you're building a business, for example, the truth can become an entrepreneur's advantage. It can improve productivity and performance, both collectively and individually. Even when it comes to health, honesty is key. In today's podcast of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are joined by David Wood. David is a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies – including Sony Music, Chanel, and Exxon. He is the author of “Get Paid For Who You Are,” with a foreword by Jack Canfield. He was nominated to the exclusive Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, and Marianne Williamson. David believes that the tough conversations we avoid, are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become defining moments that shape our world. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams – and now prison inmates – to create amazing results and deep connection. One tough conversation at a time. David shares that lying can cause a high level of psychosomatic stress than can cause damage to our immune system. The best way of being is if you always meant what you say in a conversation, and which statement should be taken seriously. Truth is your power; never give it away to another person at any cost. In a relationship, avoid bringing emotions and feelings in a conversation, as it’ll escalate the issue into something that you can’t handle. Check out this episode to find out several psychological techniques and discover the ways of how truth is helpful for your body. "Philosophy confronts the possibility of its own death, and in some sense has to do so if it is to remain the most fundamental kind of thinking". - David Wood Resources: Website: playforreal.life Download "Free Tough Conversations Blueprint" on the home page.  The Cliff Notes: You can build deeper connections with people by speaking the truth. You can earn respect and a lot of trust. You can boost your level of confidence while in a conversation. Truth expresses your feelings and thoughts openly to others. Truth encourages deepening, reciprocating of your relationship, and friendship. Lying takes a lot of energy, which can affect you mentally and physically. People who always speak the truth are usually drawn to honest people.

The July 4 earthquakes that hit South Central California are a fresh reminder that California's population is the most susceptible in the country to major earthquakes.  So why is it, that earthquake insurance is no longer required as a condition for California mortgages?  Especially, when wind insurance is required throughout the state of Florida and elsewhere to protect against hurricane damage?While less frequent, earthquakes are unique in that the risk is constant and the potential damage can easily exceed those of hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding combined.  Is it time to readjust our public policies - and our insurance policies - to adequately cover all our 21st century risks?  Host Lisa Miller, a former deputy insurance commissioner asks John Rollins, Consulting Actuary for Milliman and Jim Wilkinson, Jr., Executive Director of the Central United States Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC).Show NotesLosses from the early July earthquakes in and around Ridgecrest, California are estimated to reach $200 million of which insurance companies will likely cover only about a fifth, according to Karen Clark & Company.  Less than 20% of property owners affected by the magnitude 7.1 quake and the 6.4 magnitude foreshock had earthquake insurance.The event has rekindled discussion on earthquakes in California.  If a similar quake had occurred in a more populated area, the costs could have been much worse.  California homeowners policies don't cover earthquake damage.  According to global consulting and actuarial firm Milliman, the lack of protection for 90% of the state's 14 million dwellings poses a risk to the largest assets of many state residents: their homes.So why is earthquake insurance no longer required as a condition for California mortgages?  GSE's (Government-Sponsored Enterprises, a type of financial services corporation such as FannieMae and Freddie Mac) servicing guidelines don't require it, so private lenders who originate and sell mortgages to the GSE's don't either.  Contrast this to windstorm insurance, which is required everywhere as a condition for a mortgage, as dictated by the same GSEs.John Rollins, Consulting Actuary for Milliman, explained that while different regions in the U.S. are predominantly impacted by a single peril, such as California with earthquakes and Florida with hurricanes, Milliman's research indicates that all of the catastrophic perils from earthquakes, wildfires, floods, and hurricanes, actually contribute significantly a measureable amount to the total amount of what an actuarially-sound homeowners premium should be for the true risk of these disasters underlying each policy across the U.S.“Each one of those types of disasters contributes potentially hundreds of dollars to the quote -‘fair' – or right insurance premium as actuaries would define it,” said Rollins.  “So that runs up against a policy question, which is, if you have significant, roughly equal risk from hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes across the country, why aren't the guidelines for determining eligibility of mortgages for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac… and their concomitant insurance servicing requirements exactly the same across the country?  We don't have all the answers as to why that it, but we do know that a pure clinical look at the numbers would indicate that there's really no reason to favor one peril over the other,” Rollins said.The Central United States Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC) is comprised of the eight states that would be most impacted by quakes along the New Madrid earthquake fault line, which runs along the Mississippi River, in partnership with FEMA.  CUSEC examines the earthquake threat and ways to encourage mitigation and reduce losses.  Yet, earthquake insurance isn't popular.“Clearly we have to figure out a way to get affordability down for earthquake insurance,” said Jim Wilkinson, Jr., CUSEC's Executive Director.  “For example, the six most vulnerable counties in the state of Missouri saw an almost 700% increase in their premium costs between 2000 and 2018.  We need to figure out how to get that cost down and the availability up, whether that's through incentives or other means.  There are a whole host of folks, including the banking and real estate industries together with local developers, who have a role in figuring out how to make this affordable for people who need it,” said Wilkinson.Rural communities, Wilkinson pointed out, are especially vulnerable, because they don't have the resources that larger communities have and shoulder a higher percentage of buildings and infrastructure that are vulnerable.  “We want to get to the point where we have covered as many people as we can for this peril,” he said.Host Lisa Miller noted that the purpose of insurance is to spread risk to as large a group of policyholders as possible, which can lead to more affordable premiums.  Resiliency, through stronger mitigation programs, has made a demonstrated difference in hurricane and other windstorm events.  Mandatory insurance premium discounts for specific mitigation features have been shown to reduce windstorm losses.  But can resiliency measures make the same difference to earthquake-threatened communities?Rollins said that with earthquakes, one of the issues is the cost and who is going to pay for mitigation.   “Consumers simply don't like spending money upfront to reduce a contingent future threat that may or may not materialize.  And they think very viscerally about the payback period for that investment.”He said there also has to be a catalyst, such as low-interest loans, direct government grants or loans, or public-private partnerships.  “The second problem with earthquakes is that there is far less definitive engineering backed up by recent experience to tell us exactly what sort of construction and retrofits would make a big difference and give us the highest bang for the buck,” Rollins added.  And in areas facing multiple disasters, a mitigation for one risk may be counterproductive to mitigating against a second risk.“The program is not set-up to build to a higher standard, but simply to rebuild to put it back the way it was,” noted Wilkinson.  “They have been working to make changes in the program, so that we're not adding to the problem.  That's the challenge that we've had.  It's a conflict to how we build back better, safer, stronger communities.”Also, “asking a business or a homeowner who is very anxious to get back into their property to spend an extra two weeks and an extra one to two thousand dollars on top of what they're already facing to do this cross-hazard risk reduction becomes a real challenge,” said Wilkinson.  “It's something we've failed to really grasp in the process of how we assess these programs and their costs.  It's something that FEMA is taking a hard look at because we can't keep printing money and unfortunately the disasters seem to be increasing in frequency.” While better rebuilding after the fact is a goal that we're all striving for, host Miller noted that “Knowing that we have an uninsured population, we know that residents in earthquake-prone states are exposed to millions of dollars in damage that will not get repaired because the federal government's ability and willingness to step in and replace everything that gets damaged just isn't there.”“FEMA will help a community put everything back to the way that it was before an earthquake, but for an individual, they help provide low interest loans but there's not going to be a check written to rebuild a person's house,” said Wilkinson.Rollins also discussed the increasing entry of private sector solutions, such as flood insurance, to disaster insurance problems.  He noted each one had a public policy change that served as a catalyst that attracted private insurance attention and capital. If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were to update one page of their servicing guidelines to require earthquake insurance, too, “it would instantly kind of upend the entire U.S. homeowners insurance market, similar to the way the Biggert-Waters Act and a few other follow-on regulations upended the flood insurance market, resulting in a whole bunch of other business models being considered,” Rollins concluded.Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode:The

The game of life is continuously changing, and sometimes it becomes a struggle to deal with it and play it for real. David Wood, an international life coach, a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies, and CEO of Play For Real, talks about playing life for real by being transparent and embracing all of what makes up our lives, and that includes our struggles, our frustrations, and even our losses. In this day and age, especially with social media, it's so easy to do identity management. People want to present to the world how everything's positive and shiny and all that successful stuff that they just pretend that the bad stuff doesn't happen. As David dives deeper into identity management, learn the path to acceptance so you can enjoy the ride and play life for real.

Even at your level of success, are you lacking one or more of the following: 1) A clear, compelling vision 2) A clear, practical plan 3) The focus and discipline to swiftly implement the plan 4) A clear understanding of who you truly are, and who you wish to become? David plays for real. A former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies – such as Sony Music, Proctor & Gamble, and Exxon – David left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to explore both the outer world, and his own inner world. David says: “When you’re 10,000 feet ABOVE the Himalayas hanging from a piece of cloth, you see life differently.” From his unique vantage point, David has now coached thousands of hours spanning 20 years and 12 countries around the globe.

David says: “When you’re 10,000 feet ABOVE the Himalayas hanging from a piece of cloth, you see life differently.” From his unique vantage point, David has now coached thousands of hours spanning 20 years and 12 countries around the globe. At the individual level, he helps high performing entrepreneurs, executives and leaders to Play for Real – in their own growth, in their relationships, and at work. By integrating the principles of Real Truth, Real Daring, and Real Caring, they become the leaders they themselves would follow. At the corporate level, he helps companies to improve performance and retention. “Play for Real” is something we all get to define for ourselves. To David, it means living with even more truth, more daring, and more caring than he ever has before. The real question is….what will “Play for Real” mean to you? Even at your level of success, are you lacking one or more of the following: 1) A clear, compelling vision 2) A clear, practical plan 3) The focus and discipline to swiftly implement the plan 4) A clear understanding of who you truly are, and who you wish to become? What you’ll learn about in this episode: How David’s career started with corporate work in New York, and why he evolved his work to help business leaders create and strengthen connections Why it is important to create deep connections, and why the three components are truth, daring, and caring Why it is difficult to let go of your secrets and get to your own truth, and how to overcome that challenge Why being daring means having the courage to take risks and ask for what you want, and why it can benefit your self-esteem How David began making courageous propositions like pitching Jack Canfield to do a book together Why knowing your truth and having the daring to share your truth can help you like yourself better Why caring, for yourself and for the people in your life, is a source of strength and not a weakness What lessons David wishes he had learned earlier in his life that he feels would have benefited him How David defines “caring” versus “people-pleasing”, and why the distinction is important How to contact David Wood: Website: www.playforreal.life
