Musician, actor, producer and "voiceover guy" Dave O Connor left Cork for the UK after he met a girl at a gig. It's true! He also landed a job as a piano player in a nightclub, even though he only knew how to play one song. That was in the 90's. Now he's a cartoon character actor on the Disney Channel, and makes TV & radio commercials for clients worldwide, from his studios in Chester. We haven't met in nearly 25 years, so cramming the story into 20 minutes was an enjoyable challenge!

Want to grow your income fast? Change your thinking. Here’s a story of how we grew our income rapidly--NOT by changing external circumstances, but from using a brain re-wiring technology.  Something anyone can learn. https://mindstoryacademy.com/podcast/  My partner Dave O’Connor and I were keen students of personal development from a very young age, starting with books like “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and thousands of others. But we ended up in this place I call “the hell of self-awareness.” It’s where we knew we had limiting beliefs that were stopping us, but we couldn't shift them. Results weren't manifesting. Maybe you can relate.   We had thoughts running on autopilot in the background, which became habituated into beliefs, which became whole stories with characters, theme, scripts, plot, narrative tension, etc. In other words, they formed into one big operating system we now call a MindStory.     That’s why, when we tried to remove one thought, it didn’t work. Because the thought was just one small component of an entire MindStory that needed to be addressed. We had to upgrade the operating system to actually get big results.      Benefits of listening:   * Pay attention to what’s REALLY causing your results in life  * Understand what it truly takes to change limiting beliefs  * Be proactive about having the life you truly want      ---------------------------------  Topics Covered:  4:00  – The mechanics of what ACTUALLY creates results in your life  11:00 -  Why bad results are almost never a strategy issue but a MindStory issue   21:22 – How we found the solution  29:00 – What it looks like to implement the brain technology known as MindStory  ---------------------------------  LINKS  ---------------------------------   BOOK – The MINDSTORY INNER COACH -  for more tools like this: https://mindstoryacademy.com/book  CERTIFICATION – The MINDSTORY CERTIFICATION Program – join our 1 year program and become certified in the MindStory Methodologies as a coach, speaker, marketer and leader.  https://mindstoryacademy.com/join-mic-certification  ---------------------------------  Connect with Carla Rieger:  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/carlarieger  Twitter - https://twitter.com/carlarieger  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlarieger/  https://MindStoryAcademy.com/podcast

Dave O’Connor is the co-founder of MindStory Academy. He has assisted thousands of individuals to achieve superior levels of performance in life.   In this podcast, you will discover how to rekindle your passion, even if you’re already very busy. Here’s 4 ways he discovered after 22 years of coaching people, that help people get the magic back into their life.     #1 - Presence    This is being able to connect with people where they are at now. You’re present with people. Many people have lost that ability. One way you can develop more presence is by releasing the past. The vast majority of people live biologically in the past. They can be carrying a resentment or an upset for years. Successful people have cleaned out a lot of the toxicity in their emotional lives by letting go of their past stories. The MindStory Academy is dedicated to helping people do that.    #2 -Passionate Curiousity    Successful people are passionately curious – they cultivate joy and enthusiasm for what is coming up in their life. They love to learn new things. This gives them that dopamine release where they feel completely revitalized.    #3 – Practicing Regularly  People who stay connected to their vision practice mindset mastery skills. It helps them create their own luck by tuning in at a higher frequency. This helps them better manifest their ideal outcomes.     #4 - Purpose  Passionate people stay connected to a higher purpose. They have a powerful “why” for doing what they are doing. When others feel that you’re on a mission with a sense of purpose, this allows them to feel that they can connect with you, they can trust you, and want to work with you.      Take the Quiz  Discover what might be sabotaging your ability to be successful and on purpose. Take the 60 Second Alchemy Manifestation Quiz   HERE     Topics Covered:      02:32 - People live biologically in the past  04:35 - Provoking our own curiosity  06:00 - Create your own luck  08:46 - Let go of the past stories     ---------------------------------  LINKS:    -------------------------------- MINDSTORY INNER COACH BOOK by Carla Rieger and Dave O'Connor https://mindstoryacademy.com/book ---------------------------------  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST LIST: https://mindstoryacademy.com/podcast/    ---------------------------------  BECOME CERTIFIED in the MINDSTORY METHODOLOGY (12 month certification program in coaching, speaking, leadership and marketing)  https://mindstoryacademy.com/join-mic-certification  ----------------------------      Connect with Dave O’Connor:  MindStoryAcademy.com  Facebook  Twitter      Connect with Carla Rieger:    Facebook     Twitter    LinkedIn     MindStoryAcademy.com

Year Million is a new series on NatGeo which uses elements of science fiction and actual science to attempt to predict how technology will affect our species one hundred, one thousand, and even one million years in the future. Using modern technological trends, the series makes the argument that in the distant future, humans inevitably become immortal interplanetary cyborgs (seriously--there is actual science behind all of it). The series is a dramatization of the super future, but splices in commentary from experts like Peter Diamandis, Brian Green, and Michio Kaku. We spoke with the series executive producer Dave O'Connor about the weird future that is (potentially) waiting for us. PCMag.com is your ultimate destination for tech reviews and news.

In our headlines segment, we're joined by David Siegel, CEO of Investopedia, to tells us about lessons learned from their recent Market Madness competition. 5,000 college students participated, and the results AND lessons from the competition, including some of the big names missing from the average portfolio, are interesting. We also talk about annuity sales, which are down a TON since this time last year. What's going on? OG & Joe will talk all things annuity. We also throw out the Haven Life line to Josh, who wonders if he should hire a more active manager for his money, and we answer a letter from a listener who thinks Joe's movie review of a recent film was more than a little off.

Opener: A light wargame! Miracle on the Loire: Joan of Arc   My buddy DaveO has been on the podcast before, talking about euro gaming at Essen, or if any games are good for five players. Like most of us, he's played an overwhelming number of strategy boardgames over the years. The didn't include wargames, though he was kind of curious about them. In 2016 he was "tricked" into going to GMT Games' Warehouse at the Weekend, and found himself first horrified by and later part of the wargaming going on there. This makes him a good ambassador to regular boardgamers who don't think in terms of hexagons, Combat Results Tables, and lines of supply. He still remembers watching "pipe-smoking history professors" stick their noses in rulebooks while little happened on their gameboards, an activity that didn't look fun at all. That's not exactly the kind of wargaming he's doing now, but DaveO definitely HAS become a wargamer. Are you wondering what all the fuss is about Falling Sky, Churchill, or W1815? Whether you are looking to dive into the deep end of wargaming, or just want to see what a smaller/shorter wargame can be like, I hope this conversation between DaveO and I can give you some answers. Definitely also look at Jim Cote's excellent blog post, Wargames: Barriers to Entry. I agree with all but two points of it. Which two points? Let's discuss in the comments.

I hate to say it but I do enjoy the Eurovision….it’s a great spectacle and we don’t have to endure a bunch of talentless plonkers passing judgement….I quite like our entry although it’s a bit dated..but that could be a good thing….I haven’t seen it performed which is usually what it’s all about…as with the bearded lady….no doubt the vote will be political as usual but it’s still good entertainment…ANYTHING but Britain’s Got Talent!!....however I have seen half of one of the semi finals…..I couldn’t face the second half…so I might be switching channels ... finally…this weekend the THREE QUEENS will be sailing down the Mersey….and I am NOT talking about You,Me and Dave O’Connor!!!....it’s The Queen Victoria,the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary…so there will be a lot of spectators along both sides of the River….it should be a great spectacle…. .... there was a strange case of a firm being taken to court because they refused to make a wedding cake for a gay marriage….they said it was against their Christian belief…and the court ruled in favour of the customers….saying the firm were discriminating against gays…..what a load of tripe…..a contract is made when you purchase something…there has to be an offer and acceptance….the offer is not made by the seller as everyone thinks…they merely display their wares and invite the BUYER to make an offer which they can either accept or refuse…that’s it….the firm should have just said “no” and that would have been that…there doesn’t have to be a reason….so the court got it wrong I’m afraid.

We got to talking about that, and the conversation drifted to our differences in opinion about the number of players in a game. I felt that five was a troublesome number, while he could quickly think of several
