A palliative care worker who had a best-selling book—her name is Bronnie Ware— she wrote a book that got translated into 31 different languages around the world, called "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing."

This is pointed out—that it's taboo or something that we stuff psychologically—meaning we just put it out of our mind and into our subconscious, and then it comes out in very unhealthy ways, by a conversation with Yudhiṣṭhira and Yamarāja in the Mahābhārata that everyone's familiar with, I'm sure. This is in the context of the Pāndavas becoming uncharacteristically thirsty and coming to drink water, being warned by a stork—is it a stork or a pelican? Or what kind of bird is it? A stork? Okay, a stork—that said, "Don't drink the water, it's poison," but they were so thirsty, they drank it anyway. But Yudhiṣṭhira abided by the warning, and the stork said, "First you answer my questions, then you can drink." And one of the questions the stork asked...

He's made early bets on transformative companies like Twitter, Lyft, Twitch, Okta, Rappi, and Applied Intuition and is one of the pioneers of seed-stage investing as a category. He's been on the Forbes Midas List eight times and enjoys sharing the lessons he's learned from his years studying iconic companies. In his new book, Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-Ups Change the Future, co-authored with Peter Ziebelman, he discusses what he's found separates startups and founders that break through and change the world from those that don't. After spending years reviewing the notes and decks from the thousands of startups he's known over the past two decades, he's uncovered three ways that breakthrough founders think and act differently. In our conversation, Mike talks about:• The three elements of breakthrough startup ideas• Why you need to both think and act differently• How to avoid the “comparison trap” and “conformity trap”• The importance of movements, storytelling, and healthy disagreeableness in startup success• How to apply pattern-breaking principles within large companies• Mike's one piece of advice for founders• Much morePre-order Mike's book here and get a second signed copy for free.

For many Canadian therapists, the trajectory seems to be that once you start getting full with clients that you should open a group private practice.  However, if you blindly consider opening a group private practice without evaluating whether or not it is truly something that you want, then you may end up in a very stressful situation, feeling burned out and confused as to how this happened!  Therefore, when you think that it is time to consider this next phase of your career and you are drawn to the idea of growing your solo a Canadian private practice into a group private practice, really give it some intentional thought, so that you can make a decision that is good for YOU!  So, if you are trying to weigh up your options, listen to this podcast episode where I ask you a couple of important questions to use when deciding which path to take.  In this Episode: Is it your passion? Do you like managing people? Will it impact your work-life balance? Are you following the crowd?  Is it your passion? There are so many reasons why people decide to open a group private practice, so make sure that if you are considering this path it is something that you are prepared to do because YOU have the desire to do it!  A lot of people will encourage private practice owners to open a group private practice as a ‘natural next step', when this isn't necessarily a formulaic process, because it has to be intentional.  Remember that passion and an active drive to pursue something are powerful ingredients for success. So don't follow the crowd just because everyone else is, and take your genuine interests and passions into account when figuring out your next steps.  Do you like managing people?  Do you want to add more therapists to your private practice so that more people in your community can receive help? Do you want to make passive income? Even more so, do you want to be a boss and a manager?  Being a manager is a skill that has to be developed, and something that you can learn from consultants or courses.  Will it impact your work-life balance?  If you are considering changing your solo practice into a group practice, imagine your current life and what it could be changed into if you do make this switch.  In the book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bronnie Ware, a palliative care nurse who noted the top five regrets that people had as they were passing away, and they are;  I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me I wish I hadn't worked so hard  I wish I had the courage to express my feelings I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends  I wish I had let myself be happier  Are you following the crowd? Do you want to open a Canadian group private practice only because that is what consultants and supervisors say is the next step?  Sure, it can be difficult to untangle what you want alone instead of what you think you want from looking at what worked for others. Figure out what works for you, and develop that!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources Mentioned and Useful Links:  Ep 126: Celissa Vipond & Melissa Lindstrom: From Friendship to Successful Practice | EP 126  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Article: How to Set Up a Canadian Private Practice Website   Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Books mentioned in this episode: The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bronnie Ware Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

How many women out there feel depleted, exhausted, and overwhelmed by the end of the day, only to then realize that you soon have to go to bed and repeat it all again the next day. This happens to so many of us because, as women, we naturally put the needs of everyone else before our own, and don't carve out time or space to take care of ourselves.  The problem is that you actually DO have time to take better care of yourself, but you're likely filling these moments with things that do NOTHING for your soul. Things like scrolling social media, checking emails, or catching up on the many things you “should” be doing.  The key is developing a personalized plan for YOU so that you can fill these pockets of time with things that bring you joy and energy.  Now you might be thinking “Melissa, I don't have time for self-care.” I hear you…but true self-care does NOT have to take much time!  If you can carve out 5 minutes every single day (and I know you can!), you can use what I call the Connection Code to fill your cup and stop ending your days on empty.  In this episode I'm going to break down the Connection Code, and help you make 5 minutes feel like you spent hours taking care of yourself.  RESOURCES: ▶︎ Get your FREE Connection Code Worksheet ▶︎ The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bronnie Ware **************** If you're not getting my emails, make sure you head over here and sign up!

This week on Best Friend Therapy, we are reflecting on regret.As usual, we strive to keep our conversation authentic, which is why you'll hear us singing along with Edith Piaf, receiving deliveries from the postman, battling with flies and playing a quick round of Just a Minute… NONE of which we regret because we come to the conclusion that regret really means mourning a life un-lived and, well, we'll all have plenty of those. We also have the life we are living right now and we reckon this is the one to be present and intentional about. So here is our unfiltered, imperfect, present and intentional take on the tricky feeling of regret.We go deep and reflect on those end of life regrets and what it means to say goodbye, and we resolve, once and for all, whether it's acceptable to go to bed on an argument. So here's to cutting yourself some slack for not knowing what you didn't know, and getting on with the act of the everyday.---You can read more about the work of Bronnie Ware and her book, "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing" at bronnieware.com.---Best Friend Therapy is hosted by Elizabeth Day and Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Chris Sharp.---Social Media:Elizabeth Day @elizabdayEmma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrell Best Friend Therapy @best.friend.therapy

Hi Easy Ager, Regret-free living. Isn't that music to your ears? To think that you can live a life without the pain of regret for what you did or didn't do. Today, we're taking a look at the top 5 regrets of the dying and discovering what we can do now to avoid having those regrets. ‌So take a listen, then SHARE THIS EPISODE with a friend... Cheers, Z

Considering regrets is a part of life. We wonder if we should have done something differently or not done something at all. We wonder what might have changed if we'd made another choice. Would things be better? Would they be worse?Since I've been a coach, I've found the reality of evaluating past decisions and having regrets comes up a lot. And I have pondered and explored the possibility that there may be two ways of looking at regret. The first consideration is that regret is both a noun and a verb. The second consideration is whether or not indulging in regret can be avoided. Might we, instead, find a method for regret minimization? I think so.Let's talk about it.“Is there something that you regret not doing in the past that you could choose again for the future?” – Dr. Sara DillWhat You'll LearnNoticing regrets with intentionProjecting into the futureThemes from the terminally illLiving your life true to yourselfRegret minimization framework (from Jeff Bezos)3 questions to evaluate decisionsContact Info and Recommended ResourcesBook:Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bronnie WarePodcast Episodes that pair well with this one:Life is Short and Why This MattersA Fresh Start (or how to begin again)Choose AgainNew Group Coaching Session: coming soon!

Susan welcomes Nicola Mercer to today's episode. Nicola is a transformational health coach, supporting women in business to transform their health into wealth by building confidence and self-worth using her successful framework of mindset, movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress. Her vision is to help normalize a healthy lifestyle for families, so kids grow up having healthy habits modeled to them, value themselves, and live with health and happiness.   Having been made redundant from the corporate world in 2021, Nicola made a big decision to pivot her career and enter the entrepreneurial world, launching Life Now Coaching. Nicola is a certified health coach and qualified personal trainer with over twenty years of expertise in one of the world's largest sports brands leading successful projects and teams. She combines her corporate leadership experience with her journey of living with mental and physical health challenges to support other women to build healthy, happy, and strong lives.   Nicola has learned through the power of moving her body daily and putting sustainable habits in place the positive difference this can make to how you feel, think, and live. She advocates that living a great life and achieving the success you desire results from how you take care of your mind, body, and soul.   Key Takeaways: Nicola shares her grief story. Waiting for someone to die is just horrible, losing that special someone also means that his or her suffering has finished. After someone who was suffering passes away, the first feeling is relief, and consequently comes immense suffering. PTSD is a common diagnosis for caregivers of terminal patients. Grief doesn't go away, it becomes a part of who you are. Nicola talks about how to help someone grieving by sharing techniques and valuable advice. Susan shares how she focuses on the beautiful story that comes with her grief, it was the end of a loving relationship filled with great memories. Death is another stage of life, instead of funerals we should do a celebration of life. You can choose how to transit your grief, you can decide what is the possible healthiest way to process your loss. How do you want to feel at the end of your life? What would equal a happy life for you? So many of us live in the past or the future, forgetting our present moment.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing, by Bronnie Ware   Meet Nicola Mercer Follow Nicola on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Have you ever heard (or said), "There's just not enough time in the day." Or, "I just wish I had more time." Or, "There's a time for work and a time for play." Our Tough Talks Guest today, Joe Perrone, Time Wizard (as I like to call him), is here to debunk all of that. Joe made the decision several years ago after a medical emergency to reorganize and reprioritize the way he uses time. Now Joe NEVER complains about not having enough time for the things that matter most. In fact, tomorrow he has a 9:30 am appointment on a Tuesday morning to rake and play in leaves with his 3 year old son.

Freddie's baaaack! Series 2 of Leadership & Life Chat kicks off with a former guest, professional adventurer and profit hunter, Freddie Bennett!  Freddie first joined James and Mark back in early 2021 on Impromptu Business Chat, chatting about how he uses the lessons he's learnt in life to advise and inspire businesses on how to motivate their teams and embrace change. Since then, Freddie has had some major life changes, including packing up and moving his family to New Zealand, so the team invited him back to find out why, and talk about his new book and career change – tapping into customer bases to discover new lines of profit.  Freddie has worked with some of the biggest companies in the world and conquered some mammoth personal demons along the way, having left the corporate grind behind him. He speaks passionately about choosing your battles, whether we really need to smash our comfort zones, his own theory on the relativity of time, and how we should all be more aware of our own waypoints! He also discusses how we should embrace the seasons of change in our lives and businesses, and how we can reject hustle culture.  GET IN TOUCH!

When you play it safe it translates to playing it small. Or maybe it keeps you in the illusion that you're free of harm. Or it could be that you may be just simply trying to stay in your comfort zone. Whatever the reason, there are real dangers in playing it safe. Mostly that you self-limit the possibilities and the potential for a full and meaningful life. Laurel and Laurel dig into this "scary" topic and how it impacts your ability to live the beautiful life you deeply desire. They open up about their own habits of playing it safe and how to go about changing those self-limiting patterns. Links/Books mentioned - Laurel H mentioned “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz.

On the podcast, I am continuing the five-part series on the top five regrets of the dying, with each one coming from Bonnie Ware's book of the same name, "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing." In each episode, I walk through a regret and provide practical ways to bypass that regret ourselves at the end of life. Today, I talk through how to work less and play more. Though it sounds easy, I think this one is tough for many of us (me included) - learning how to put down our work, let go, and tap into the freedom of childlike play.  I hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for listening!

Money can't buy everything. It can't buy you the most important stuff like love, health, and family. In this episode, learn how to have a rich and purposeful life regardless of money as I chat with Doc G aka Jordan Grumet about his new book on money and life advice as a hospice doctor. Jordan is a financial expert, host of the Earn & Invest podcast, author, and currently an associate medical director at Journeycare Hospice. "When I've sat with the dying, almost never do they say, I regret that I only ended up with a networth of $500,000 and I really wanted to hit that million mark. No one said that. What people tend to regret is that they didn't spend the energy, courage, or time doing those things that were most important to them." - Jordan Grumet "Even the most lucky of us are going to deal with life's issues, financial or otherwise, and having that strength of saying, I am already enough, as you face these problems is a great starting place." - Jordan Grumet "Money is not the goal, it's a tool. And it's a tool to utilize to better live out a life of purpose, identity, and connections." - Jordan Grumet    What You Will Learn From This Episode How working with people as they transition from life to death changed Jordan's view on life and money What really is the core of having a rich life, regardless of money 'Medicaid divorce' - what you should know about it FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) what people get wrong about it Some exercises to help you know your identity and your purpose in life Suggestions to manage your mental health and money if you feel burned out Why you should invest in other ways, not just financially How to use your money to actively avoid the regrets of the dying Steps you can take to protect your finances and your family in the face of death About Jordan Grumet: Jordan was born in Evanston, Illinois in 1973. His interest in becoming a doctor was ignited when his father, an oncologist, died unexpectedly in the prime of his life. This profound loss not only inspired him to practice medicine, but has also given him a unique perspective as a financial expert, challenging him to think deeply and critically about concepts like wealth, abundance, and financial independence. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Jordan received his medical degree from Northwestern University and began practicing Internal Medicine in Northbrook, Illinois. He currently is an associate medical director at Journeycare Hospice. After years of blogging about financial independence and wellness, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018. In 2019 he received the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast and was nominated in 2020 and 2021 for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the year.  His book, Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life is being published by Ulysses Press in August 2022.

What brings you joy? What makes you feel energized? What makes you, you? Loving yourself starts with understanding yourself and learning to accept yourself for who you are, rather than fixating on who you think you “should” be. Self-love is one of the most powerful things that we, as human beings, can do to enhance our lives. Today's guest is Kate Northrup; entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and mother who has built a multimedia digital empire with her husband which supports hundreds of thousands of ambitious women to light up the world without burning out!  When it comes to work, less is more! According to research, working 49 hours+ per week is linked to a decline in mental health. This negatively impacts productivity because happier people are more productive. During this episode, Kate explains the personal experiences that led her to discover how to do less to live better. Nobody is lying on their deathbed wishing they had more money; give yourself permission to be happier!    Key Points From This Episode:   Kate shares the personal experiences that motivated her to do less. [04:32] Self-sourced scheduling; a brief overview of the system that Kate created. [08:30] How tracking her cycle catalyzed Kate's journey of reconnecting with herself. [10:23] You are what you are, love yourself for that. [13:04] Advice for figuring out what to let go of. [15:22] Exploring the hyper-productivity trauma response. [18:37] What research shows about the impact of working hours on women's mental health. [23:47] The benefits of shorter working hours, and how to take radical responsibility for your life (even if you work in a corporate environment). [24:23] The three most important lessons that Kate has learned during her life so far (and the number one thing she has learned from being a mother).

Become The Most Powerful You! In reading a great deal about leadership today, and interviewing top leadership experts, I'm recognizing a disappointing trend - that the general concept and understanding of leadership has become so vague and watered down that most of it isn't helpful at all, and it's not suited to a majority of women who want to lead differently. The Most Powerful You training goes deeper. It helps you recognize and understand more about yourself as a person and the leader you want to be, then take empowering, transformative actions to operate in your role in a way that takes your leadership and your career higher, making the impact you dream to. If you truly want to help your team, staff and organization become “The Most Powerful We,” this is the right training for you.  Take this course individually or bring it to your workforce and teams today!

This is one of my favourite books and most talked about on Going Conscious, particularly in earlier episodes, and is a beautifully positive account of lessons we can integrate into our lives now to help transform how we live whilst we still have time.    Bronnie Ware shares the lessons she learned whilst working in palliative care and explains how you can take them on board now and live the life you're here to live.   I know that thousands of people now listen to Going Conscious each week, and I would love to hear from you about what you'd like to hear more of.

Sam Feeney is an author, strategist, coach, husband, and father of five. Today, Sam shares with us the paths he meandered as a young man, how everything changed when he met his wife, and what it meant to learn about God as Father. Also, he tells us why his family took a huge leap of faith and moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado. Sam is passionate about helping men grow in their faith and interactions with their families. Sam's story reminds us that God is one but also three persons and keeping that perspective changes everything. Listen to Sam's story on your favorite podcast app now! Stories Sam shared: Growing up in Pennsylvania in a Christian family Resisting faith because it might mean his dad was right Deciding that he would become a Christian despite of his relationship with his father Reconnecting with God on summers off during college How meeting his wife changed him How learning to be married challenged them Learning about the Holy Spirit and navigating the ditches Finding a church that had a good balance of faith in the Trinity Holding his son helped bring healing Why the idea of fatherhood is so valuable Moving to Colorado with his family and the faith it took Starting a business and his podcast, Made to Thrive How career affects men and their interactions with their family Great quotes from Sam: For a long time I resisted faith because it might mean my dad was right. If my dad loves me half as much as I love this kid, I've undersold him. If you put eternity in our hearts, we're looking for where he shows up as soon as possible. My biggest challenge as a dad is trying to prolong credibility with my kids as long as I can.

What would you do if your time was called tomorrow? On June 24, 2012, I got the call from my dad that his time here was short. Twelve days later, on July 6, 2012, at 6:11 in the morning, my dad passed over to the other side.If you talk to anyone faced with their own mortality, they will tell you they would do things very differently if they had even one more year. Losing my dad taught me to live my life as though I had only 12 days left. Today I am (with nothing but absolute compassion, empathy, grace, and service) offering you a very loving kick in the ass to live your life the same way. On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I discuss how your procrastination and perfectionist tendencies keep you playing small.

If you've ever felt like you needed permission to look outside your role as mom for significance, this episode is for you. I've spent years feeling guilty and ashamed for needing more than my motherhood to bring me purpose and I pray this episode sends relief to your tired heart. Today we talk all about the importance of mission, what it is, and how to find it. In sharing my own journey of purpose, I guide you through the pitfalls of "going with the crowd" and allowing others to  direct our lives. One day we will look up and realize we've lived a life we never actually wanted and abandoned dreams we desperately desired.  For some,  this conversation may be painful. I know what disappointment after disappointment in life feels like and to dream again may mean to be hurt again. Dream anyway! You deserve a life you enjoy and not one you merely endure.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: When you start working with a VA, don't expect them to come ready made for your business. There's talent, humility and hard work, but actually, you need to invest time while they learn what you want and actually how you work and how you like to work Delegation and systemization makes your business and your brand resilient. You need to create openness so that you can have a really strong and productive relationship between you - allow your team to manage you and not always expecting to come to you for the answers. Filipino VAs are amazing to work with because their English is phenomenal, they are humble, polite, sweet, hardworking, professional,   RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bronnie Ware https://www.amazon.com/Top-Five-Regrets-Dying-Transformed/dp/140194065X The Freedom Geek Freebie 1: 500 Tasks you can Delegate to a Virtual Assistant: http://500tasks.com/ The Freedom Geek Freebie 2: Membership Area: https://thefreedomgeek.com/membership-area-access-optin (Please write BBY or Kym Hamer in the field that says, "How did you hear about us?")

Is it secure? Are you ‘paying peanuts to get monkeys' and so on…  Imogen Cook ‘The Queen of Delegation' has been living and breathing a company culture at The Freedom Geek of working remotely yet closely with Filipino VAs since 2017. She's helped hundreds of Small Business Owners find and work with high quality Filipino VAs who have transformed their businesses.

In fact, more and more healthcare leaders are leaving their positions due to burnout.Therefore, we believe NOW is the perfect time to challenge the current leadership norms and shift to NEW leadership norms.  It is time to be bold enough to stop sacrificing yourself for your team and organization.We need to create new leadership norms where all healthcare leaders can be their best selves at work and at home, live more balanced lives, experience more joy, and become role models for new emerging leaders.In this episode, we talk about the top five reasons to shift the healthcare leadership norms and why we are being called to be BOLD.We also talk about the book of Bronnie Ware, “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing,” and how it relates to our current leadership norms.For full show notes and links, visit:https://www.missinglogic.com/new-podcastIf you found value in this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!Enrollment is open to our Self-Study Program, Caring for Others Without Neglecting YOU!This self-study program is specifically designed for healthcare leaders like you, so you can find a way to care for your team without neglecting you.Click Here NOW to learn more and enroll!SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/company/missinglogic-llchttps://www.facebook.com/missinglogicLLChttps://twitter.com/MissingLogicLLChttps://www.instagram.com/missinglogic_llc/

In this episode, I want to share with you the 5 Things You Should Do If today Was Your Last Day on earth. This episode is inspired by a podcast I recently listened where the host pondered the question:"What would you do if today was your last day?"It had been inspired after he had read “The Monk who sold his Ferrari” by Robin Sharma.I had also recently read about Bronnie Ware, an Australian palliative nurse who spent years taking care of the dying, individuals who were in the last three months of their lives.She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.The podcast and the article about Bronnie Ware got me thinking about what would I do if today was my last day on earth.Items mentioned in the Episode:Bronnie Ware Blog - www.bronnieware.comBronnie Ware - The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly DepartingUSA - https://amzn.to/3Ik3WVCUK - https://amzn.to/3MYcll5Robin Sharma - The Monk Who Sold his FerrariUSA  - https://amzn.to/3N1lLMzUK  - https://amzn.to/37vbcB4Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

When we speak of "deconditioning," we're talking about undoing, or unlearning embedded behaviors and belief systems that are within your sub- and unconscious minds. It's more thatn just behaviors, though, because conditioning is lso your paradigm. How we operate from our paradigm, under conditioning, can hamper our satisfaction, happiness, our freedom, and our sense of purpose.  Learning your Human Design can be an essential tool for breaking your conditioning (deconditioning) and  beginning to live your life to its fullest potential and purpose.

Noel Gallager said, "I don't live to work; I work to live." I first heard this expression when I was living in Spain, and a Spanish friend told me that, "you Americans live to work, while we Spaniards work to live." As I look back, I should have listened closer to my friend's wise words because they are the keys to living a rewarding life. In this episode, I discuss the story of Kai-Fu Lee and the experiences of Australian author Bronnie Ware. I use these stories to discuss why experiences are the keys to enjoying a rewarding life, not the pursuit of possessions. I describe the scientific benefits of experiences and how you can relate this to your own journey of intentionality. You work to live, not live to work. Work on what brings you happiness. The tools from today's episode ought to be helpful for anyone looking to understand how to create a rewarding life. Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

I feel I have a lot in common with today's guest Jess Glazer. She is an affluent entrepreneur; she loves life profoundly, works hard to create a long-lasting legacy, and at some point, when her life was on the line, she had to ask herself: how much is enough? Jess Glazer is a Business Mentor, Speaker, Founder of Digital Business Evolution, CEO of Jess Glazer, LLC, and a Certified PE and Fitness Instructor.  In this episode, we go through her inspiring and incredible journey from school teacher to multi-million dollar entrepreneur. She shares her life-changing experiences of listening to a podcast and knowing she was "living her worst-case scenario", the health issues caused by being a treadmill entrepreneur, and much  more.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - How Jess Glazer ended up living full-time in an RV with her husband as digital nomads - How a worst-case scenario life looks like - How hard it was for her the transition from an established job into entrepreneurship - What money and financial independence mean to Jess Jess left her job as a teacher because she wasn't happy and being a teacher wasn't an idea she had in the first place. She realized she was living a life designed for her, not by her. But once she took the leap of faith, she had one rule that she would do only what made her happy. She didn't change a job for another, she left her career for a job she loves doing.  ​​If you find this episode inspiring, take a screenshot of you listening on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories and tag me @melabraham9.

Thank you for coming along with me on this journey. I didn't know what to expect when I started this podcast. I was certain it would be useful, interesting, and inspiring. I do have some experience with this after all. Membership in my company's flagship offering, The Top Practices Marketing Mastermind Group is in essence a private podcast I've been curating and facilitating since January 2007. It's fun, VERY FUN, and I love the work. So, I knew I could do this. What I hoped for was that something greater would happen in this podcast than a look at how a few hand-picked friends and colleagues would see prosperity. I put that hope in the title:  Something Greater. And that is exactly what happened. Recommended Books: The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly DepartingThe ONE ThingThe Power of Now

Do you find yourself controlled by what you perceive as other people's opinions you? Are you striving for the love and acceptance of others? Does this run so deep that you find yourself out of alignment with your truth? Do you believe that manifestation isn't possible for you?  If this resonates with you, Shanna Lee, our guest today, will take you on a journey to reconnect to your intuition and to listen to your inner whisper. She shares the “Creation Equation”: the process by which we're in a constant process of manifestation, whether we know it or not. The “Creation Equation” is based on thought-feeling patterns and inspired action.

Vowing to honour the wishes of the patients I had come to love and to ensure I didn't suffer the anguish of regret I witnessed, I set out on the path of living according to my own heart, instead of how others expected me to. This is a remarkable story of a remarkable human, which is bound to challenge and inform you, especially centering around themes such as regrets, seeking happiness, being true to yourself, living authentically, courage and honouring time.

4:39 "Rock bottoms come in any way, but they're always an invitation to realign with your actual path.' Are you ready and willing to be who you actually are, sometimes at the cost of belonging? The path chosen for us may have ups and downs, it may even be isolating during some seasons, but each challenge builds your character and further refines you into the ultimate person, the perfect puzzle piece for your future relationships. 6:17 "If you are turning down your volume to avoid chaos, you're internalizing chaos." There is no hiding. The challenge is within. Therefore, it's best we express our true authentic selves. If it creates discord, then it's a challenge we're meant to overcome within our relationships, friendships, and maybe even our community. Burying it down deep serves no one. 3 things people can do to ignite harmony in their relationships: Number 1: 10:19 "Recognize that your relationship is separate from who you are." You have needs that you must meet. Many of those come from an array of activities and relationships. Number 2: "See every relationship as sacred." The things that go unspoken and unprepared like plaque can build up into bigger problems. Number 3: "Define yourself." What kills relationships is the lack of recognition that you have sovereignty in your own life of yourself , deconstruct all of the systems that create codependency in your relationship. We can't allow someone else to "complete' us. We must be whole in ourselves. 18:18 "Evolutionarily, women needed to learn how to be safe around male aggression." It seems women seem more comfortable in personal relationship development and this may have been an evolved skill. 19:33 "We're more likely to get remarried, we don't know how to manage the grief and the pain, we have hardly any capacity for shame." Men seem to struggle with the shame of divorce and resort to remarrying to move on quickly. There's a difference between healthy shame and unhealthy shame. Instead of believing I'm no good, I can say "there's a better version of me available and I get to choose to step into it." 20:45 "When a man loses a relationship, he's generally losing his emotional support. For women, they turn mostly towards their friends." Men tend to replace their friends with their spouse, maybe for the purpose of organization or consolidation. So when a relationship ends, the man has lost more of his foundation. If your partner leaves, and you feel like they've taken everything, ask yourself "what did you give them?" If your happiness rests on their staying or going, then the weight they have to carry to be with you is too much. 22:50 "A relationship should never complete you. It should enhance you and make you a better person, and invite you to be a better person." 32:46 "The soul's journey will always try to express itself and ask for you to listen." 37:36 "There's only 3 constants in life. One is the sun will always come up, the moon will be there, and the truth will always be present." 38:55 "There's no such thing as one way liberation. If you are liberated, the other person is too, whether they know it or not." "Why would you ever choose someone who isn't choosing you? You can love someone and also not tolerate their behavior." 41:29 "When we're asking 'why the addiction?' We're asking the wrong question. We should be asking 'why the pain' and that's true of all materialism." Stress creates inflammation and poor relationships create stress. If you can figure out how to improve your relationships, it's the most important thing that you will ever change. "43:15 "If you do quit sugar, you'll probably discover that there was probably grief below." 50:52 "Every time you do something in excess, you are treating the pain of being present within yourself." 52:52 "When you draw a circle to exclude me, i draw a bigger circle to include you., and that's our work." 58:50 "Beliefs become our prisons, the idea that you can't do something, someone else's fear becomes our fear."

On September 2, I turned sixty. I added a new decade to my story, which got me thinking, what are the lessons I've learned in the last six decades? Today I want to share with you the 10 lessons I've learned on my journey of living a fulfilling life and as an affluent entrepreneur. We will also talk about the concept of living in a state of disappointment, and we will go through the three principles of living a meaningful life.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - The difference between being wealthy and living a rich life - The three principles we must have in place as rule #1 for building an affluent life - What is the role of our values in the decisions we make every day, and how that affects our future - Why we must be open about what we do, and why we need to find a purpose in every action we take - What is the role of our habits in the things we create When I look back at my journey, I realize it is not about the challenges I had but about the lessons I got from them. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that richness comes from the way we use our time, not our dollars. I'd rather measure my wealth in time than in money for a simple reason - money is an unlimited resource while time is finite.  Resource: - The 10 Lessons from 6 Decades™ https://melabraham.com/wp-content/uploads/TAE-27-10-Lessons-in-6-Decades.pdf  - The Money Plan Challenge by Mel Abraham: https://www.melabrahamtraining.com/money-plan-challenge  - Book: Bronnie Ware - Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing: https://www.amazon.com/Top-Five-Regrets-Dying-Transformed/dp/1401956009/  - Affluent Entrepreneurs Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/affluenceblueprint - My website https://melabraham.com/ - Book: Mel H.

Discover how to prioritise and determine your top priorities. John shares his secret to retaining Information in the quickest way possible.   Episode Highlights [05:00] About John Dr John is an educator, researcher and writer. He has spent over 48 years helping people maximise their potential. John wanted to know what allows people to do extraordinary things. That's why he distilled information from great minds throughout history. He made them into practical things that people today can use.  John had speech and learning challenges as a kid. At a doctor’s recommendation, his parents took him out of school and put him into sports. After having a near-death experience at 17, Paul Bragg inspired John to overcome his learning problems. With the help of his mom, he eventually learned how to read.  Listen to the full episode to learn more about John's inspiring story! [15:42] How Surfing Changed John’s Mindset Surfing has taught John that people are not going to excel without perseverance and commitment.  John converted his determination for surfing into persistence in reading.  [17:57] The Breakthrough Experience The Breakthrough Experience is a philosophy and program changing lives globally.  This system teaches you how to prioritise and structures life by priority. It breaks through limitations and helps achieve life goals.  John teaches people to use any experience, even challenges. These are catalysts for transformation and progress.  John has helped people learn how to prioritise to get their breakthrough experience in different areas of life. These include businesses, careers, health, relationships, among others. Lisa relates the Breakthrough Experience philosophy to when her mom had a severe aneurysm. [24:14] John Shares a Miraculous Experience At 27 years old, John handled a family with a son in a three-year coma. The family went to different hospitals in Mexico and the United States. However, they found none to help their son. They then went to John, and he thought of a maneuver to help the child. However, the treatment also came with significant risk. Listen to the full episode to find out how John helped a child get out of a three-year coma. [33:34] Jesse Billauer’s Breakthrough Experience Jesse Billauer, a surfer, decided to go to the Breakthrough Experience after a surfing accident.  At the time, he was depressed because he was physically unable to surf.  After the Breakthrough Experience, he learned how to prioritise and what his top priority was. Jesse became determined not to let anything stop him from surfing. Jesse developed a way to surf as a quadriplegic person. He taught others how to do the same.  [38:58] Herd Mentality in the Sciences New ideas are violently opposed and ridiculed. That's why people fear going against the norm. People who aim to survive follow the multitude. People who want to thrive create a new paradigm.  Each person can excel at anything if they focus on that, not on others' opinions.  [41:37] How to Prioritise John made a list of every single thing he does in a day over three months. He then placed multiple columns next to that list. The first column contains how much money each task produces per hour. The second column contains how much a job inspires him on a scale of 1-10. He also considered the cost and the time spent on each activity.  After doing that, he prioritised the activities that made thousands of dollars. He also focused on ones that scored ten on the inspiration scale.   John hired people for the low-priority tasks. This choice allowed him to be more productive in his top priorities. Within 18 months, his business increased tenfold. Listen to the full episode to learn how to prioritise and about investing in your top priority.  [56:19] How John Stays Looking Young John is almost 67 years old. However, Lisa describes him as someone who looks like a teenager. John doesn't eat junk. He drinks a lot of water, has never had coffee in his life and hasn't had alcohol in over 48 years. Doing what you love every day also slows down the aging process.  [58:03] Some Lessons from the Breakthrough Experience Nothing is missing in you. When you compare yourself to others, you'll try to live by their values or get them to live by yours. Both of these are futile.  Sticking to your values and priorities is key to resilience and success. People are different from each other, but no one is better than the other.  If you don't empower your own life, others will overpower you.   Your mission is something that you're willing to get through any means necessary. [1:06:38] How to Get Your Amygdala Under Control The amygdala is associated with emotions and the "fight-or-flight" response. Because we have neuroplasticity, we can remodel our internal system.  Perceiving challenges and feeling shame and guilt trigger an autoimmune reaction that attacks your body. Every time we choose to live by the highest priority, the amygdala calms down. The prefrontal cortex is reinforced. [1:12:03] The Mind-Body Connection Our psychological processes also affect our physiological processes.  People are used to blaming external factors. They don't take accountability for the things they experience.  John uses the example of when people get symptoms after eating unhealthy food. They don't face the fact that they brought it upon themselves.  Our bodies do an excellent job of guiding us. That's why we should learn how to listen to them. [1:18:13] The Journey to Financial Independence There is nothing evil about having money.  John believes that you can be a slave to money, or you can be a master of it.  Nothing is stopping you from doing what you love to do. [1:21:28] How to Retain Information Teaching what you've learned is the key to retention. Teaching compels your mind to organise ideas and reinforce them.  Teach the concepts as soon as you've discovered them. Don't wait until you're an expert on the subject.

I do a lot of interviews and filming for documentaries. I've been spending 48 years now on doing anything I can to help human beings maximise their potential.’ ‘I love studying and learning anything I can from those people that have done extraordinary things and then passing that on.” “I love anybody who's done something extraordinary on the planet in any field. I love devouring their journey.’ ‘No matter what the teacher was trying to do, I just couldn't read. And my teacher and my parents come to the school and said, ‘You know, your son's not able to read. He's not going to be able to write effectively’ because I wrote kind of backwards.’ ‘Well, I'm surfing the cosmic waves now. And in surfing big cosmic waves, radio waves that are big waves. Yes, that's the move from water waves into electromagnetic waves.’ ‘And so the Breakthrough Experience is about accessing that state. And breaking through the limitations that we make up in our mind and transforming whatever experiences you have into “on the way” not “in the way”.’ ‘She said that there was something that took over me, I can't describe it. It was like a very powerful feeling — like I had a power of a Mack truck. And me? I don't know how to describe it.’   About Dr John Dr John Demartini is an author, researcher, global educator and world-renowned human behaviour specialist.

Well, Hi everyone and welcome to Pushing The Limits. Today, I am super excited for my guest. My guest is an absolute superstar. Welcome to the show. Firstly and foremostly, thank you very much for taking the time out today. Dr John, I'm just really excited to have you. Whereabouts are you sitting in the world? Dr John: I am in Houston, Texas. I'm in a hotel room in Houston, Texas, even though it shows that I've got a library.  Lisa: Yeah,I love that background. That is a fantastic background. Really great. Well, greetings to Texas and I hope that everything is going well over there for you. Today, I wanted to talk about you, your work, the breakthrough experience. Some of the learnings and the exciting mission that you've been on for now. For 47 years, I believe. Something crazy like that. So Dr John, can you just give us a little bit of a background on you and your life and what you do on a day to day basis? Big question. Dr John: I'm an educator, a researcher, a writer. I do a lot of interviews and filming for documentaries. I've been spending 48 years now, over 48 years, on doing anything I can to help human beings maximise their potential, their awareness potential, and achieve whatever it is that they're inspired to achieve. So that could be raising a beautiful family to building a massive business to becoming fortunate or celebrity, doesn't matter. It's whatever it is that inspires them. I've been studying human behaviour and anything and everything I can get my hands on for the last 48 years to assist people in mastering a lot. That's what I love doing. I do it every day. I can't think of any else I'd rather be doing. So I just do it. Lisa: It's a bit of a role model for me, Dr John, because I think what you have achieved in this time, the way you've distilled information, I mean, you've studied, last time I looked on one of your podcasts, that was over 30,000 books, probably more now. And you've distilled the information from great masters throughout history into practical things that humans today can actually benefit from. Is that a good assessment of what you basically have done? Dr John: I'm writing right now a 1200 page textbook on philosophers and great minds through the ages. I summarise it. I love studying and learning anything I can from those people that have done extraordinary things, and then passing that on. So yes. Right now, I'm actually, I just finished, I’m just finishing up Albert Einstein, which is one of my heroes. I had a dream when I was young. When I saw that E = mc² drawn on that board, I wanted to find out where that board was. I went to Princeton, and met with Freeman Dyson, who took over his position at Princeton in 1955. Spent part of the day with him and we're talking on cosmology. I wrote my formula on that same board, exactly the same place, because that was a dream that I had since I was probably 18, 19. Lisa: Wow, and you got to fulfill it and actually love it. Dr John: Yeah. Took me a bit of time. So what? But yeah, I love anybody who's done something extraordinary on the planet in any field. I love devouring their journey and their thinking. That's every Nobel Prize winner I've gone through and every great philosopher and thinker and business leader and financially or spiritually, to try to find out and distill out what is the very essence that drives human beings? And what is it that allows them to do extraordinary things? So I wanted to do that with my life. Most of the people I get in front of want to feel like they want to make a massive difference. They want to make a difference in the world. They want to do something that’s deeply meaningful, inspiring. And so yeah, we're not 'put your head in the product glue and let the glue stick' and then pass it on.  Lisa: Instead of having to reinvent the world, why not? So Dr John, can you give us a little bit of history though, because you're obviously an incredible scholar,have an incredible mind. But as a child, you struggled with learning and with reading and writing.Can you give us a little, how the heck did you go from being this kid that struggled with all of that to where you are today? One of the greatest minds out there.  Dr John:  Yeah, I definitely had some learning challenges. I had a speech challenge when I was a year and a half old to four, I had to wear buttons in my mouth and put strings in my mouth and practice using all kinds of muscles. Went to a speech pathologist. When I was in first grade. No matter what the teacher was trying to do, I just couldn't read. My teacher, and my parents would come to the school and said, 'You know, your son's not able to read. He's not going to be able to write effectively,' because I wrote kind of backwards. 'I don't think he's going to mountain and go very far in life, put him into sport.' Because I like to run. And I did sports there for a while. But then I went from baseball to surfing. I hitchhiked out to California and down Mexico and then made it over to Hawaii so I could ride big waves and I was doing big wave and stuff when I was a teenager. So I didn't have academics. I dropped out of school. I was a street kid from 13 to 18. But then right before 18 I nearly died. That's when I met Paul Bragg, who inspired me one night in a presentation. That night I got so inspired that I thought, 'Maybe I could overcome my learning problems by applying what this man just taught me. And maybe someday I could learn to read and write and speak properly.' That was such an inspiration, such a moment of inspiration that it changed the course of my life. I had to go back. And with the help of my mum, I went and got a dictionary out, started to read a dictionary and memorise 30 words a day until my vocabulary. I had to spell the word, pronounce the word, use it with a meaningful sentence, and develop a vocabulary. Eventually doing that 30 we would, we wouldn't go to bed. I didn't go to bed until I had 30 new words, really inculcated. My vocabulary grew. And I started to learn how to do the reading. It was not an easy project. But, man, once I got a hold of it, I never stopped. Lisa: And once you started to read, you didn’t stop. Dr John: I've never stopped. I've been a voluminous reader now. You know, 48 years. Lisa: That’s just incredible. Dr John: I can’t complain. Lisa: So was it a dyslexia or learning disability? I just asked because my mum was a teacher of children with dyslexia and things like that. Was there specific ways that you were able to overcome the disability so to speak? Dr John: Yeah, I just, sheer persistence and determination to want to read and learn. I remember, I took my first, I took a GED test, a general education high school equivalency test. And I guessed, literally guessed, I close my eyes. I said this little affirmation that Paul Bragg gave me that, 'I'm a genius, and I apply my wisdom.' And some miraculous thing made me pass that test. I didn't know how to read half the stuff that was on it. I just went with my intuition and guessed. And I tried to go to college, after taking that test and had the test. I failed. And I remember driving home crying because I had this idea that I was going to learn how to teach and become intelligent. Then when I got a 27, everybody else got 75 and above. I got a 27 and I thought, 'Well, there's no way it's going to work.' But then I sat there and I cried and my mum came home from shopping, and she saw me crying on the living room floor. She said, ‘Son, what happened? What's wrong?’ I said, ‘Mum, I failed the test. I guess I don't have what it takes.’ And I repeated what the first grade teacher said, 'I guess I'll never read or write or communicate effectively, or amount too much. I guess I'll go back to Hawaii and make surfboards and surf. Because I was pretty good at that.' And she said to me something that was a real mind bender. She put her hand on me and she said, ‘Son, whether you become a great teacher, philosopher and travel the world like your dream, whether return to Hawaii and ride giant waves like you've done, return to the streets and panhandle like you've done. I just want to let you know that your father and I are going to love you no matter what you do.’ Lisa: Wow, what a mum. Dr John: That was an amazing moment. When she said that, my hand went into a fist of determination. And I said to myself, ‘I'm gonna match this thing called reading and studying and learning. I'm gonna match this thing called teaching and philosophy. And I'm going to do whatever it takes, I'm going to travel whatever distance, I'm gonna pay whatever price, to give my source of love across this planet.’ I got up and I hugged her. And I said to myself, ‘I'm not gonna let any human being on the face of the earth stop me, not even myself.’ I got out of my room. And that's when I decided with her help to do the dictionary. That was an amazing turning point. Lisa: And I can feel it, the emotion and what a wonderful mum you had. I mean, what a perfect thing to say when someone's down. Dr John: It was the most. If she hadn't said that, I might’ve come back to surfing. I might  be a surfer today. Lisa: Which would have been a good thing as well, probably because surfing is great. Dr John: It didn’t make money in those days. I'm in the mid 60s and 70s, early 70s. But,, now, the guys I served with, Laird Hamilton and- Lisa: Wow. He's a hero is amazing.  Dr John: Both Ben Aipa, Gerry Lopez, and these guys, those are the guys I served with. And so those guys went on to be incredible. Lisa: I wasn't aware of that. Dr John: I lived at the same beach park in Haleiwa, where Ehukai Beach Park is, near Pipeline, between Rocky Point and Pipeline. Laird Hamilton was dropped off by his mother there and lived there on the beach. I lived up on where the park bench was. We lived right there and I saw him on the beach each morning. He was seven, I was 16. He was going on seven, I was almost 17. We live there at the same place and Bill Hamilton saw him out there and grabbed him and took him in and trained them on surfing and found his mum and then married the mum. That's how I became. I hung out with those characters. Lisa: Legends. You became a legend in this direction and they have become a legend in a different direction. Dr John: Well, there's a book out called The High Surf by Tim Baker. That’s from Australia. He wrote a book on people that rode big waves. And he said, 'I'd like to put you in there.' I said, 'Well, I didn't go on to be the superstar in that area like these other guys.' He said, 'But I want you in there because you became a legend. Lisa: Became a superstar. Dr John: Yeah Lisa: Do you think that there's, you know, I come from a surfing family. My brother's a big wave surfer in New Zealand. I've tried and failed miserably, stuck to running. I was better at it. But do you think there's a correlation between the mindset that you developed as a surfer? Because going in those big waves is scary. It's daunting. It's frightening. It's challenging. It's teaching you a lot. Is there a lot that you took from that for this journey that you've been on? Dr John: Yeah, I didn't surf anything more than 40-foot waves. So I think that was about as good as about as big as you get back in the 70s. At 70s is when I was- Lisa: Oh, just a mere 40, it’s okay. Dr John: Well, 40-foot waves was the biggest thing out in outer reef pipeline was the big thing. They hadn't had tow-in surfing yet. That was just, that wasn't begun yet. So there was that idea, we had to catch those waves. That was not easy because they're too big to catch. you got to have big long boards, and you got to really paddle to get into those waves, and it's usually too late. But I think some of those, I used to surf 11 hours a day sometimes. When you're really, really committed to doing something, that's... Einstein said perseverance is the key to making things happen and if you just stay with something. So, if you're not inspired to do something, enough to put in the hours and put in the effort, and you don't have somebody that you can bounce ideas off of, kind of mentoring you, you probably are not going to excel as much. But I did that. And then I just converted that over into breeding 18 to 20 hours a day, feeding once I learned to read, so I just and I still voluminously read I mean, I read every single day. Lisa: That is incredible. And so you've taken that big wave mindset a little bit over into something else. So obviously, everything you, do you do to the nth degree, we can probably agree on that one. Dr John: I'm surfing the cosmic waves now. And in surfing big cosmic waves, radio waves that are big waves. I move from water waves into electromagnetic waves. Lisa: Wow. Now, you run something called The Breakthrough Experience, which you've been doing now for 40 something years. This is a philosophy and a system and a program that really changes lives and has changed lives all over the planet. Can you tell us a little bit about what you've distilled from all this information that you have in your incredible mind? And what you teach in this course, and how this can actually help people? Today, right now listening to this? Dr John: Well, the breakthrough experiences, sort of my attempt to do with what that gentleman did to me when I was 17. I've done it 1121 times into that course. I keep records, and I'm a metric freak. Every human being lives by a set of priorities, a set of values, things that are most important. Lisa: Podcast life. Dr John: Welcome to it. I thought that was off, but I didn't quite get it off. But whatever is highest on the person's values, priorities, whatever is truly deeply meaningful to them, the thing that is spontaneously inspiring for them to that they can't wait to get up the morning and do.If they identify that and structure their life by priority, delegating the lower priority things and getting on with doing that, they will build momentum, incremental momentum and start to excel and build what we could say is a legacy in the world. And so, the breakthrough experience is about accessing that state, and breaking through the limitations that we make up in our mind,  transforming whatever experiences you have into 'on the way' not 'in the way.' So no matter what goes on in your life, you can use it to catalyse a transformation and movement towards what it is that you're committed to. And if you're not clear about it, we'll show you how to do it because many people subordinate to people around them. Cloud the clarity of what's really really inspiring from within them, and they let the herd instinct stop them from being heard.  I think that The Breakthrough Experiences is my attempt to do whatever I can, with all the tools that I've been blessed to gather to assist people in creating a life that is extraordinary, inspiring and amazing for them. And if I don't do whatever it takes in the program, I don't know when it's going to be. I've seen six year olds in there write books afterwards. I've seen nine year olds go on to get a deal with Disney for $2.2 million dollars. I've seen people in business break through plateaus. I’ve people have major issues with relationships break, too. I don't know what's gonna be. I've seen celebrities go to new levels. I've seen people that have health issues that heal. I mean, every imaginable thing, I’ve breaking through. I've seen it in that course. And it's the same principles applied now into different areas of life. In any other area of our life, if we don't empower, the world's going to overpower something. And I'm showing I want to show people how to not let anything on the outside world interfere with what's inside. Lisa: And you talk about, it's on the way, the challenges that we have to look at the challenges that we have and ask how is this going to actually help me get wherever I am. And this is something that I've managed to do a couple of times in my life really well, other times not so good. But where I've taken a really massive challenge, I had my own listeners, I had a mum who had a massive aneurysm five years ago, and we were told she would never have any quality of life again, massive brain damage. We know that's not happening on my watch. I'm going to, there is somebody in something in the world that can help with her. And this became my mantra that I was going to get back or die trying. That was that total dedication that I brought to her because of love. When you love someone, you're able to mobilise for the last resources that you have. And that nearly bloody killed me as far as the whole effort that went on to it, and the cost and the emotional costs, and the physical and the health and all the rest of it. It took me three years to get it back to health, full health. She's now got a full driver's license back and a full independent life back and as my wonderful mum again. And that was coming from a state of being in a vegetative state, not much over a vegetative state at least. Hardly any higher function, no speech, no move, be able to move anything. Dr John: That’s a book there. That's a book or a movie. Lisa: It's the book. Dr John: That's a book and a movie for sure. Lisa: Exactly. And this is very powerful. Because I saw this and when you're in the darkness, everybody is telling you there is no hope, there is no chance. And these are medical professionals who have been to medical school, who have a hell of a lot more authority than you. You just go, ‘No, I am not accepting it because that alternative means death, basically, decline and death in being in an institution. And that is not what I'm going to answer. I'm going to find somebody who can help me’ and I did. I found hundreds of people, actually, and this is what tipped me into doing what I'm doing now, is finding world leading experts to give me the next piece of the puzzle for her and for the people now that are following me so that I can help empower people, not to be limited by the people who tell us we can't do something. It's because that means basically they don't have the answer. Not that there is no answer, is my understanding. And they were right. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. But I did it and my mum is alive and she's well, and that book. I really want to empower people with a story. I see that same like they're obviously your passion. What you went through with your learning problems when you were young and your mum standing beside you has actually propelled you into this lifelong journey that I find absolutely fascinating because that passion, and I can see that passion in you, is still very much alive 48 years later because you're doing what your priority is. Dr John: I'm definitely doing what I love doing. It's interesting that your story reminded me of something that happened to me when I was 27. If you don't mind, I'd like to share this. So I graduated from my professional school. I had a bit of a reputation there of being kind of the taking the cream of the crop clients, patients that were turned down everywhere else. I just tackled it, see what we can do with it. And I got a family from Mexico, with a son that fell three stories off an apartment complex onto the ground on his head. He went into a coma, been in a coma for three and a half years. And the mother, they assumed he was dead a few times, but there was still a breath. There were still something. It wasn't a strong breath. You couldn't see it but you could put a mirror in front of you and get a little bit of breath out there. So he wasn't dead. And he had decerebrate rigidity. So his whole body was so rigid that when I saw him, you could lift up his feet and his whole body would rock. It was so stiff. His hands are like this. A classical decerebrate rigidity. And he had gone to, throughout different hospitals in Mexico, where he was from, and nobody checked them. They came to America, they went to the Medical Center in Houston, which is the largest Medical Center America. And they got rejected. No one would accept it. There's nothing we can do. They went out to the professional school that I'd gone to. And they said, ‘We can't do anything.’ But we know this interesting character. West Houston, if there's anybody that would try something this guy might try, who knows? And they sent him to my office. I remember when they came in, they carried him wrapped up in a white sheet, and laid him on the armrest of the chairs on my office. I looked out there and I saw this Mexican man and woman and seven or eight other kids in a family. I'm in this. At first, I didn't know what this was, this thing wrapped up in this sheet. They came down my hallway and I saw him going down the hallway. And like, ‘What on earth is this?’ Then they unveiled him in my exam room. And there was this 58 pound tube in his nose, coma case that was so stiff. It was ridiculous. I mean, he had gauze on his chin and his hand was rubbing on it and to protect the chin from having an ulcer. It had an odor to him in the head. It was just nothing. Just stare. He just sat there. But the mother and father said, ‘No, he's still alive. Please help.’ So I didn't really have much to do an exam with. So I got him, we took him in and did a film of his spine and his skull from the history. We found his foramen magnum, his skull was jammed down on a spinal cord and his spinal cord is up in his foramen magnum. This opening in the bottom of the skull. And I thought that night, when I was developing those films, and I looked at that I thought, 'I wonder what happened if I lifted that skull? If I've got that off? It could? Could something happen?' And I was scared because you just don't do that. He could die just instantly. I sent them over to this health food store to get him some liquid vitamins and minerals and amino acids to try to get nutrients in him because they're feeding him beans and rice with liquid. It was just crazy. So the next day came in. We had four doctors on a preceptorship visiting my office, one doctor that was working for me, one assistant, the seven or eight kids plus him and the mother and father in this little room. It was packed. And I said to him that I saw that on the film something that might have make him, help. I don't know, I can't guarantee it. But if we, if I did a particular manoeuvre, it might open up the brain function. And the little woman held on to her husband and she said, 'If he dies, he dies. If he lives, we rejoice. But please help us. We have nowhere else to go.' Lisa: Yeah. Wow. Dr John: She said that there was something that took over me, I can't describe it. It was like a very powerful feeling, like I had a power of a Mack truck in me. I don't know how to describe it. And I had this manoeuvre that we could do this, what they call the Chrane Condyle Lift, that can actually lift the skull up the spine. And I said to myself, if I'm not willing to have him die in my hands, I can't raise the dead with my hands as a little quote that I learned from an ancient healing philosopher. And I thought, 'Okay, we're, I'm going to take the risk, and just see what happens.' Because, I mean, I don't know what to do. I'm just gonna do it. Because I mean, they've got no place to go and I only took a rip. As I lifted that skull with this powerful movement. He came out of his coma. He came right out of the coma. He screamed, and this whining noise you couldn't. It was not coherent. It was just this whining sound. The whole family went on their knees, they were Catholic. They just went to their knees and prayed. I was blown away. I saw the four doctors one of them ran down the hallway and vomited, couldn't handle it. The other just stared. And here's this boy squirming on the table. I walked out to let the family be with the child for a minute and just sat with one of my doctors. We sat there and just cried. Because we knew that the spinal cord expressed life in the body. But we didn't know what would happen if we took the spinal cord, it just scanned off. Theoretically, it could kill you. But there was some still life in the spinal cord. Anyway, this boy went on to gain 20 pounds up to 78 pounds. We took him off the tube, we got him to move, we had everybody in the family take a joint in his body and move his joints to remobilise him. Sometimes I think we probably tore some ligaments doing it. But we got mobility. And this boy came out of it. And I have a picture here with me of the boy actually graduating from high school. Lisa: You’re kidding me? Why is this not an? What is not? Why have I never heard the story?  Dr John: I don’t get to share it too often. I didn't many years ago. I haven't practised in a long time. But all I know is that that was a moment that you just, it's probably like you had with your mum when you saw incremental progress. Lisa: Yeah. Just grind. Dr John: And I think that that's a metaphor. That's a metaphor. It doesn't matter where you've come from, doesn't matter what you're going through, doesn't matter what you've been through. What matters is you have something that you're striving for. And are you willing to do some incremental movement towards that? What else just said is, he's got a diagnosis. Diagnosis means through knowledge, supposedly, but it could also mean die to an agnosis. You don't know. Even the doctors don't know. But the reality is,  he came out of the coma. And I had over the next few months, I had some amazing cases of a boy that was blind and couldn't walk, and all of a sudden see and walked again. I had a boy that was paralysed quadriplegic, was able to walk. I mean, I had some amazing stuff happen. When you're willing to do what other people aren't willing to do, you're willing to experience when other people don't get to experience. Lisa: Yep, it is just so powerful. And I'm just absolutely blown away from that story. Because, I mean, I know with my mum who was only in a coma for three weeks, and had stroke and so on, and in the specificity and the things that I've had to deal with. The whole vestibular system being completely offline, she has like a rag doll, having to read, programming her from being a baby, basically, to being an adult, within that three year period with a body that is now like 79 years old. And the doctors going like, your brain can't change that much. And in just going, I'm going to keep going. I'm only listening to people who tell me I can do something, I'm not listening to anybody who tells me I can't do something. And this is something that I've really integrated into my entire life like as an athlete, doing stupidly long ultramarathon distances. I was always told you can't do this, and you can't do that. It's impossible. And I was like, 'We'll see.' I'm going to throw everything in it. And that was my passion at the time have now retired from doing the stupid distances because I've got other missions on in life. But whatever it is, is always the big mission. And then everybody comes up against people who tell you, you can't do it. This is one of the biggest limiting things that I see. Dr John: That's what Einstein said, greatness is automatically pounded by mediocre minds.  Lisa: Wow. Dr John: I had a boy, a boy attend my breakthrough experience, who had a surfing accident and became arms and legs not working, He could move his neck. He got a little bit of function slowly into the hand that was about it, just a tiny bit. And I remember a man wheeling him in and having them kind of strapped to a wheelchair. I knew the father and I knew his brother. There were doctors who were colleagues of mine. And they brought him, they flew him literally from Los Angeles over to Texas to come to the breakthrough experience. I remember him looking straight down really depressed, suicidal, because he was a surfer and he was on his way to being a great surfer. If he couldn't surf, he didn't want to live kind of. I remember getting on my knees and looking up at him at this chair, and I said, 'It all determines inside you what you decide. I don't know what the limit you have in your body. I don't know what you can repair. I don't know what you can do. I don't want to say you can't. But all I know is that if you're going to, you're going to have to put everything into it. You're gonna have to have no turning back kind of attitude. There's got to be a relentless pursuit of your master plan to serve.' His name is Jesse Billauer. He made a decision at the Breakthrough Experience that nothing was going to stop him from surfing again, nothing. He is really, in the room was absolutely applauding him. The before and after in that weekend was so astonishing that it was tear jerking. Well, about 17 years ago, 16 half years ago, I had the opportunity to get, I was living on the Gold Coast of Australia. I had many homes in New York and different places. But I had one in the Gold Coast of Australia in Aria, lived in the penthouse of Aria. And all of a sudden, I found in my entrance of my penthouse, which you only can get into with my key somebody from downstairs, put it in there like mail, a DVD video of a surfing movie, called Stepping Into Liquid. And when I pulled that up and put that in there, there was Jesse Billauer, surfing. He found a way of using his head muscles, and designing a special vehicle, a transport system, a surfboard. He had to have somebody take them out into the water and push him. But once he got on a wave his head movements were able to ride and he was riding like 12 foot waves, which is 20 foot face waves. He was doing that. And he was an inspiration. He became friends with Superman who had quadriplegia and they became friends and he created a foundation to do something but he taught people how to go surfing as a quadriplegic. So when the wise big enough to house take care of themselves, you've proven that in your book. What little I've done in my life compared to some of these kind of stories is just astonishing what I see sometimes people do. I mean, mind blowing stuff that people, that determination to overcome that are absolute inspirations. Inspiration is a byproduct of pursuing something that's deeply inspiring and deeply meaningful, through a challenge that people believe is not possible. That's inspiration. Lisa: That's how we grow as a human race. We have these amazing people that do incredible things. And these stories, I mean, these are stories that aren't even out there in the world, in a huge way. There are hundreds of these stories and thousands of these stories and miraculous stories. These are the things that we should be talking about. Because why are we not studying the outliers? Why are we not? When I look at my book, or my story, which I share publicly and not a single doctor that had anything to do with my mum ever asked me, 'Well, how did you do it?' Nobody is interested in why she has not taken the normal path as long gone. Nobody has asked me what did you do? People do. My audience want to know why. The people that follow me, etc. But nobody that was involved in that case. And I see that over and over again.  Dr John: It's forcing him to face their own, you might say, belief systems about what they've been taught. There's an educated awareness by the herd and then there's an innate yearning by the master. The master transcends the herd, if you will. You can be a sheep or a shepherd. The shepherd is the one that goes out and does things that the sheep are not willing to do. But then once they do it, they'll rally around it. They are there watching you to be the hero instead of becoming the hero. Lisa: Wow. And why is it in the medical fraternity that there seems to be a very big herd mentality, like no one is scared to step outside of their norms, and they get slammed. I see this in academia and in science as well, where people who have brilliant ideas and hypotheses and studies and so on, they just get slammed because it's outside of the current paradigm.  Dr John: William James, one of the founders of modern psychology, said 'To be great…' And Emerson followed in suit, 'To be greatest, to be misunderstood.’ William James basically said that the majority of people fear rejection from the multitudes because that was survival. People that are into survival follow the multitude. People that are in thrival create a new paradigm. At first they're going to be ridiculed. They're going to be violently opposed to Schopenhauer and Gandhi said, but eventually becomes self-evident. And you're either following a culture or building one. The people that do that build a new culture. They build a new culture of idea. Emerson said in his essays on circles, 'We rise up and we create a new circle of possibility. And then that becomes the new norm until somebody comes up and breaks through that concentric sphere with another circle.' It's like the four minute mile. I had a gentleman on my program the other day who is striving to be the fastest runner in the world. He's got bronze and silver medals, but he hadn't got the fastest running. And he's not stopping. He's working sometimes eight to 13 hours a day on this project. I believe that the way he's so determined to do it, and how he works on it, and he doesn't need a coach telling him what to do. He just does it. He's inspired to do it. He'll be the fastest runner, he won't stop till he's the fastest runner in the world. And that’s determination, that to be great at that one thing, find that one thing that you really target like a magnifying glass, on that you become the greatest at that thing.  Mine was human development, human behaviour. I want to have the broadest and greatest width of information about that. That's my one thing. But each individual has something that they can excel in, if they just define it, and give themselves permission at it, and say, thank you but no thank you to the opinions. The opinions are the cheapest commodities on Earth that would circulate the most as a use value. There’s ton of those. But those opinions aren’t what matter. It's not you comparing yourself to other people, it's you comparing your daily actions to what's deeply meaningful to you, and the highest priority actions daily, that’s what it is. Lisa: How do you, this is a problem that I face, get to a certain level of success and achievement, and then you start getting lots of offers and opportunities and so on, and you start to lose the focus. You get distracted from the things that are happening in this day and age where the internet and everything that ends up like I get the shiny object syndrome. And say, 'Oh, this is an extremely interesting area of study, and I should go down that path. And then I go down that path, and then I go down that path.' It is adding to the whole picture of a general education. as someone who studied as much as you have, you've obviously encompassed all of these areas. But I think what I'm asking is, how do you find out what your highest priority is? And how do you get a team around you, so that you're not limited? I think there's a lot of business people that are listening to this, me included in this, who has struggling to get past a certain ceiling because the area of genius is one thing that they love and excelling at, and you'd like to spend all of your time doing that. But you're stuck in the groundhog day of admin and technology in the stuff that you hate. And not busting through because financially, you can't delegate to people. You also got to find people that are a good fit for you who can do the jobs, and then also have the finances to be able to break through to that near next level. Can you talk to that about? Dr John: Yes, absolutely. When I was 27 years old, I was just starting my practice. I was doing a little of everything, anything and everything, just to get the thing cranking. I had one assistant that I hired. But I realised I was doing way too many trivial things. And that'll burn you out after a while if you're doing stuff that's not really what your specialty is. I went to the bookstore and I got a book by Alec McKinsey called The Time Trap. I read this book. As I read it, I underlined it and extracted notes like I do. I decided to put together a little sheet for it. I'll share that because it was a goldmine. I made a list of every single thing that I do in a day, over a three month period, because each day I had sometimes different things to do. But I wrote down everything I might be doing in those three months in a day. I just wrote them all down. And I don't mean broad generalities like marketing or this type of thing or radiographs or whatever. I mean, the actual actions. The actual moment by moment actions I do in those categories. I made a list of those and it was a big list. And I looked at it. Then right next that list, every single thing I did from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed, everything —  home, personal, professional. I wanted to know what my day looked. I want to be an honest, objective view of what am I actually doing with my day. Because if I want to create my life the way I want, I've got to take a look at what I'm actually doing because if I'm not doing things that give me the results, no wonder I'm not getting there.  I made that list, and right next to it, in column number two of six columns is how much does it produce per hour. Which is a measure of actually meeting somebody's need as a service and people willing to pay. How much is that produced per hour? And that was humbling because there are whole lot of stuff that I will do without pay. I was minoring in majors and majoring in minors. I was doing all kinds of stuff that was just cost, no return. I stopped and I looked at that, and that was humbling, and frustrating, and a bunch of stuff went through my mind. I mean, I just, but I had to be honest to myself, what does it actually produce? I extrapolate. If I spent two hours on it, what is it per hour? Cut it in half. If I spent 30 minutes, I’d double the number to get an idea what it is per hour. There's a lot of stuff that was not making anything and there was a few things that were making a lot.  The third column I wrote down, how much meaning does it have? How much is it that makes me inspired to get up and do it? I can't wait to do what people can't wait to get. Those are the things I want to target. So I looked at it on a one to ten scale, how much meaning it was. I made a list on a one to ten scale of every one of those items, how inspired am I to do that? And there's a lot of stuff on there that was not inspiring, that I didn't want to do. I thought, 'Hell. I went to ten years of college for this?' I made this list and I put this one to ten thing. And then I prioritised the tens down to the ones. I prioritise productivity down from the ones that made thousands of dollars an hour to nothing an hour. I just prioritise them. And then I looked. There were some that were overlapped, where the thing that was most meaningful and inspiring match where it’s most productive. I prioritise that based on the two together. And that was really eye opening. Then I went to the next one because I realised that if I don't delegate, I'm trapped. Then I put what does it cost? Every cost. Not just salary, but training costs, no hiring costs, parking costs, insurance costs, everything. What is the cost of somebody excelling at doing what it is I'm doing at a greater job than me? What would it cost? On every one of those items? The best I could do? I had to just guess on something, but I definitely did the best I could.  And then I prioritise that based on spread, how much it produced versus how much it cost. Then I put another column. How much time am I actually spending on average? The final column, I wrote down, what are my final priorities with all these variables? I did a very thorough prioritisation system there. I sliced those into ten layers. I put a job description, I put a job description on that bottom layer, and hired somebody to do that but bottom layer. It took me three people to get the right person because I had to learn about hiring. I didn't know how about, hiring. I finally got the first person there, and that was free. That allowed me to go up a notch. And then I hired the next layer. What I did is it allowed me to go and put more time into the thing to produce the most, which was actually sharing a message of what I was doing publicly, with speaking. Public speaking was my door opener. I just kept knocking out layers.In the next 18 months, my business tenfold in increase in income and business. I had 12 staff members and five doctors working for me in a 5000 square foot office from under 1000 square foot original office in 18 months. Because I said goodbye to anything that weighed me down. Anytime you do something that's lower on your values, and anytime something hone your value value yourself and the world values you when you value. It's waiting for you just to get authentic and live by the highest values, which is your ideological identity. The thing you really revolve around you. Mine was teaching, so I call myself a teacher, right? So whatever that highest value is, if you prioritise your day and fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you, it doesn't fill up with low party distractions that don't, because it's now you're allowing yourself to be authentic. And it doesn't cost to properly delegate if you get the right people, and you go on and do what produces more per hour, it doesn't cost it makes sense. Lisa: That's the hard part, isn't it? As is growing. Dr John: You do your responsibilities. Go do the thing that knocks down the doors and goes and does the deals and then go and let them do all the crazy work. Like when I was 27, that's the last time I ever wrote a check or did payroll or looked at bills. I never looked at that again. Because that's a $20 an hour job and I could make way more speaking and doing my doctrine. So I thought, 'I'm not doing anything that's going to devalue me ever again in my life.' I've never gone back. 38 years, I've never gone back. Lisa: So systematise. This is a thing here, where I have a bit of a problem, a bit of a chaos, right? Dr John: I'm an ignoramus when it comes to anything other than research, write, travel, and teach. I'm useless. I'm not. I do jokes and say when I'm having I want to make love with my girlfriend. I tell her. I put my arms around I said, 'If I was to organise and have Hugh Jackman or Brad Pitt take care of lovemaking for you on my behalf and things like that, would you still love me?' One time if she said, 'No, I will still love you more.' I'm joking. That’s a joke. But the point is that if you're not delegating lower priority things, you're trapped. Lisa: And this is the dilemma, I think, of small businesses is giving that mix right and not taking on people before you can go to that next level. Dr John: But you go. You go to the next level by taking them on if it's done properly. Lisa: If it's done properly, because I've- Dr John: You want to make sure. That's why I have a value determination process on my website to determine the values of people I hire because if they're not inspired to do what I need to delegate, that's not the right person.You gotta have the right people on the bus, this column says. I have to be clear about what I can produce if I go and do these other things. And me speaking it, and doing the doctoring on the highest priority patients was way more productive financially than me doing those other things. So once I got on to that, I put somebody in place just to book speeches, and just to make sure that I was scheduled and filled my day with schedules with patients, it was a updated day and night. I've never gone back to that. I only research, write, travel, teach. That's it. Lisa: That's my dream. I'm gonna get there. Dr John: I don't do it. What's interesting is I became financially independent doing that because of that. I learned that if I don't value myself, and I don't pay myself, other people aren't going to pay me. If they're waiting for you to value you add when you value you, the world values you. You pay yourself first, other people pay you first. It's a reflection, economically, there. And that's what allowed me to do it. Because financial independence isn't for debauchery and for the fun life, in my opinion. It's for making sure that you get to do what you love because you love it not because you have to do it. Lisa: And having an impact on the world. But if you're stuck doing the admin and the technical, logical stuff, and the crap that goes along with the business. You're not impacting the world like you want to be impacting. Dr John: Weel, the individual that does the administration is impacting the world through the ripple effect by giving you the freedom to do it. Lisa: Exactly. Dr John: If that's what they love doing. That’s not what I love doing. But there are people that love administration, they love that stuff and love behind the scenes, I love doing that. Finding those people. That's the key. Lisa: Finding those people. I's given me a bit of encouragement because I've been in that sort of groundhog days I had to get through the ceiling and get to the next level of reach. Dr John: I finally realised that the cost of hiring somebody is insignificant compared to the freedom that it provides if you do your priority. Lisa: If you get your stuff right, and know what you… Dr John: Because the energy, your energy goes up the second you're doing what you love doing. And that draws business to you. Lisa: Absolutely. I mean, like doing what we're doing. Now, this is my happy place.  Dr John: We’re both in our element. This is why we're probably going to slow down. The point is, when you're doing something you love to do, when you're on fire, with kind of an enthusiasm, people come around to watch you burn. They want to see you on fire.  Lisa: I mean, they do, they do. And I've seen that in times in my life where I've been preparing for a big race or something, and I need sponsors. I just go out there.  At the start, I didn't know how to do a sponsored proposal, I didn't know how to do any of that fancy stuff. I just went out there and told the story. And by sharing the story, people were like, 'I want to get on board with this. That's exciting.' People would come on in and and when you don't know, one of the things that I've found in life is the less you know, sometimes the more audacious you are. When you actually h

Most people don't have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.   (That's actually not a bad thing.)   They dream of having enough money to live in total financial freedom, but when the reality strikes, and it's time to toe the line, they fall short.   Why does this happen?   I had the honor of interviewing John Lee Dumas, founder & host of Entrepreneurs On Fire, who boldly answers this question and many more.   John was an active-duty officer in the U.S. Army (spending time in a war zone in Iraq), where he developed an insane level of discipline and mental fortitude at quite a young age. He is definitely no stranger to overcoming challenges that seem impossible and uses those skills strategically in his business.   In this episode, he discusses his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, in which he lays out a 17-step roadmap to unlocking your greatest potential and creating a life of total fulfillment.   (He even talks about some of those steps during the interview—one of which will blow your damn mind!)    John has identified the common foundational principles successful entrepreneurs share that allow them to achieve uncommon success, and he dives deep into some of these in our interview.    He also boldly goes where not many people are willing to go, and that is bringing to light that not everyone has what it takes to be an entrepreneur and how that isn't a bad thing!   As you listen to this incredible interview, you will learn:   The importance of the “Zone of Fire” and how to identify yours How being a “challenger” can help you reach massive success What 3 specific things John Lee has done better than most entrepreneurs  The one thing that I attribute to my own high efficiency My #1 goal in life (this might even shock you)  What John thinks about the idea that money cannot buy happiness John acronym for F.O.C.U.S (this is fantastic)   He also shares how he generated $100,000+ net profit for 90 months in a row (which you can learn about in more detail in his book, which is now available for pre-order).   I can't wait for you to hear this!

Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week! On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit talks to us about one of the top five regrets of the dying. Dhru shares a story from palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware, who wrote the book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing. For many years she worked in palliative care. Her patients were those who had gone home to die, and she was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. Bronnie said, “People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.”Bronnie shared that when questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. One of the regrets was, “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.” Here is an excerpt from Bronnie’s blog, “Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved.”Will you be one of the people on their deathbed that regrets being too busy for their friends? If you haven’t been making time for your friends lately, use this episode as a reminder to prioritize your friendships and what truly matters the most.

Today we will be discussing her own health and career journey, imposter syndrome and how to vanquish yours as well as resilience during COVID-19 and especially for healthcare workers. Join Dr. Michelle and Dr. Gail as they talk about: Why she shifted her career of being a veterinarian to a physician with a specific focus on hospice care.

Unpacking the five regrets that the dying often have at the end of their lives. Why resilience is about shedding our old ways and learning practical strategies. Common themes amongst physicians who face burnout. Impostor syndrome narratives many physicians have going on in their minds.

Learn new tools to add to your wellness toolbox including: How to become more resilient now during COVID-19 and moving forward into the future.

In this episode of Rosie & BJ Save the World, the two co-hosts discuss the controversial topic of self-euthanization. After doing research into self-euthanization, also known as "death with dignity," Rosie found that the healthcare lobby has a financial incentive to keep people alive — insurance money. Rosie explains, "They make more money from the ICU — from people living as vegetables and hooked up to machines. The longer you're in the hospital, and the longer you suffer, the more money the healthcare devils make!" Resources for Saving the World

http://ysuperstars.com/ask-better-questions-of-the-church/How to Ask Better Questions of the ChurchStep 1: Remember the church is made up of people— if you have problems with ‘the church’ you really have problems with SPECIFIC people, or usually a specific person.Step 2: Be specific with who you have questions (or issues) with, and remember it is impossible to have issues with a church. ‘The Church’ as an abstract institution does not really exist.Step 3: Stay curious and seek to understand.Step 4 Understand that people in Church do not know everything, and are often wrong — accept that this is okay!Do not be afraid to engage the people in multiple situations and over long stretches of time. Do not give into the myth of the ‘coming to Jesus’ talk where everything will be resolved in an instant.Challenge:Make a list of specific people you have issues and questions for. Stop making it about the church! (Step 1)Be specific with your question or issue, and write that down. (Step 2)I was hurt by …I did not understand why you did…I do not agree with…When you said this … it made me feel …Make an appointment to talk with them today over coffee or a phone call. (Step 3 and 5)Pray for a spirit of humility, and remember that you or they could be wrong and that is okay! (Step 3 and 4)Resolve to work things out over time, and accept that there are no one conversation fix all scenarios. (Step 5)Matthew 18:15-17Matthew 18:21Luke 17:3-4Somethings that were mentioned in today’s episode:Five Regrets of the Dying (According to Bronnie Ware’s Book) I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.I wish I’d stayed in touch with my friends.I wish I had let myself be happier.Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing :https://amzn.to/2WqQwSJSeven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Coveyhttps://amzn.to/35U1oMdThe BEMA Podcast: https://www.bemadiscipleship.comThe Bible Project Podcast: https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/the-bible-project-podcast/I Believe in Science (Nacho Libre): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSy1NQx2bJEMonster Inc 2319: https://youtu.be/cUFJ1yVhJ6g

This week we’re taking a look common regrets in life and what you can do to prevent them. Specifically, this episode is about the incredibly common themes of regret that author Bronnie Ware, someone who worked in palliative care, highlighted in her popular blog article, Regrets of the Dying and book, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing. We’re also talking about what you can do to make sure you don’t have these regrets yourself.

The 3 Causes of Self-Doubt = "I'm Not Enough" "Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will." -Suzy Kazzem The following concept is from a talk Lewis Howes gave at his Summit of Greatness last October 2018. He mentioned that the 3 causes of self-doubt that hold us back from starting and chasing our creative dreams fall into these buckets of fear: Fear of Failure Fear of Judgment Fear of Success Imagine a 3-ring Venn diagram with each fear located in a circle. At the overlapping center is the feeling of "I'm not enough." In today's episode, I'm giving you 3 reasons to overcome your fear of getting started now, so that your future self will thank you. Avoid the 'What Ifs' On Your Deathbed In the book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing by Bonnie Ware, the number one regret from those on their deathbed was, "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." Bonnie states, “This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize until they no longer have it." Final thoughts: Don't let the thoughts and influences of family, friends, or acquaintances deter you from pursuing your calling—don't settle for an average life! Don't ignore the omens and signs—the more of them you ignore, the less they'll come your way; and you'll give up on your dream You'll Regret Not Starting Sooner Avoid the trap of tomorrow, I'll start this when I: have the time have the energy have the resources hit this age land this job etc. My Biggest Regrets My biggest regrets have never been, "Damn, I never should've attempted that." My biggest regrets have always been, "Damn, I wish I would've started doing that sooner." E.g., sharing my work, blogging, podcasting, video, investing TIME and EFFORT into myself and my dream Every new start is a humble beginning Take Action Action leads to failure, which is necessary for growth. Don't Rob Yourself and Others of Your Gift "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." - William Shakespeare or Picasso (nobody knows) We all have untapped creative potential, and it's our duty to spend our days trying to discover it so we can share with others When you don't seek out your gift, you rob your current and future self of purpose, fulfillment, happiness, and value you can bring to others Action Step: Attack Fear "Do what you fear, and fear disappears." - David Joseph Schwartz What is the one thing that's holding you back from chasing your creative dreams? By the end of the day of when you first hear this episode, I challenge you to get uncomfortable and take that first step toward attacking that fear. This could be having that hard conversation with a loved one about your dream, sharing your work on social media for the first time, or signing up for that workout class. Whatever it is, take action and don't fall into the trap of tomorrow. Don't go to your deathbed regretting the action you never took. You deserve to be happy. Enjoy This Episode?

The search for why has brought a new light into my world that has spread into every area of darkness in my life. What used to be shallow relationships are digging into deeper more meaningful ones. My emotions, mental state, and physical wellbeing are much more solid. My finances are no longer dictating my life and are simply helping me towards what really matters. The influence I am able to have now in the world around me is much greater than ever before. That does not mean I have all the answers because I do not, or that I have everything I ever want, or that life is perfect because that just is simply not the case. That is the beauty of it though. Even in the midst of struggles I am more fulfilled and at peace than ever before. What has changed? Have you ever felt like there is something more? Why am I here? What can I do? What is my why? Do I make a difference? Do I really matter? What is the point? [1:50] Stephen R. Covey was one of the people whose life work changed the trajectory of the world. His book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” is arguably the most renowned self-help book of all time. He lays out 7 habits that to this day are among the most impactful to high effectiveness, as the title suggests. Personally, I make a point to go through this book once a year because of the value which is stuffed between the covers and the constant re-centering I need. The 2nd habit is to “begin with the end in mind.” So that is what we are going to do here. –The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change– [2:04] The 1 thing I can with 100% certainty guarantee [2:56] What people are thinking in their final moments and their top regrets –The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing– [5:16] How long before we become obsolete?

Friendship is 100% voluntary - that's what makes it so wonderful! - and also the thing that pushes it lower on the priority list, when life gets busy. It seems like friendship should be easy at this point - but that's not always the case. Listen in to today as I share 3 essential qualities you can cultivate to maintain and deepen your adult friendships.     The biggest takeaways from this episode: How friendship is important for your health. Why friendship gets more difficult as we get older. The qualities adult friendships must have to keep growing. Why your friendships deserve your attention, even when you're busy.   Hey there, Thanks for being here today! Welcome to the Style With Intention podcast. Today, we’re going to dive into adult friendships. This is a topic that I've thought and read a lot about - and struggled with too. "Friendship" is one of those things that we assume should be easy at this point in our lives, but it doesn't always feel that way. Adult friendships can feel vulnerable and tricky to navigate - but there's scientific evidence that friendship is really important to your physical and mental well-being - so it's worth it!. In this episode, I'm sharing 3 important qualities you can cultivate to to maintain and deepen your adult friendships. I recorded this episode a couple of weeks ago - but, this week, I had some real life lessons in the value of adult friendships. This last week was a doozy for me. Some unexpected changes in my relationship with the beau really threw me for a loop - and when I reached out to friends, they were there for me. I've had to rely on friends more than usual during this time and I can't imagine going through this without them.  It's never too late to make new friends and develop close friendships! Listen in today as I share how the 3 qualities of friendship play out in adult friendships. I've seen how it works in my own life and an excited to share my insights with you. As always, my goal is to make it quicker and easier for you to access more ease, joy, and intention in your life...because happy looks really, really good!

We believe choice is empowering, complacency is boring, and happy looks really, really good! I’m your host, Annie Kip, and I’m so glad you’re here today! Today we’re talking about adult friendships.   Did you know there is a single question which can predict whether you will be alive and happy at age 80?   Ask yourself, “Is there someone in your life whom you would feel comfortable phoning at 4 in the morning to tell your troubles to?”   If you answered “yes” you’ve got a really good shot at being not just alive, but also happy, into your 80’s. If you’re answer is”no” your chances are much, much lower for being happy and alive into your 80’s. But it’s never too late to change that.   This info is from the Grant study that started in 1938 and followed the physical and emotional health of 200 men, who are now well into their 90’s. When the man who led the study for many years, George Vaillant, was asked what he’d learned from the study, his response was simply “That the only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.”   That’s pretty powerful. We all enjoy having friends, but I doubt we are all aware of how having friends is actually vital to our health and well-being.   Some of you may know that I’ve moved 8 times in my adult life. Each place I’ve moved, I had to establish new friendships. I didn’t really anticipate that I would be moving so many times, so I really invested myself into the friends that I made in each new place. Every single time, it was really, really hard to leave the people I had became close to and every single time, it was hard to make new friends again - but looking back, I feel like the luckiest person on earth to have ended up with really wonderful friends all over the country.   I’m one of those people who always feels super lucky just to be included. I don’t take it for granted that people want to be friends with me and I always feel like I’m not quite as good a friend to other people as they are to me. My friends tell me this isn’t true, but still, there’s a little insecure part of me that feels like I’m the lucky one to have such great friends!   I’m a bit of an introvert - I’m fine at parties and I do love socializing -- but I’m not totally comfortable reaching out. I can get lost in my work, head down, stuck in my office, day in and day out - and before I know it, weeks have gone by and I haven’t reached out to anyone. Luckily, I have old friends who know to just drop by my house - and they know I’m always happy to make coffee and chat anytime.   But to make new adult friends, I’ve really had to go outside my comfort zone.   A few years ago, I saw a woman at the gym who I knew of from around town , but her kids were older than mine, so we never matched up in school and we didn’t have the same circle of friends. I don’t know what possessed me one day, but I walked up to her and introduced myself - and told her I’d always admired her, was interested in her work as a coach, and wondered if she wanted to have coffee someday.   To make a long story short - we made plans and I accidentally stood her up, which was a terrible way to start a friendship. Luckily, she gave me another chance and we finally met up for coffee. We had coffee again, then walked together, talked about our work, then eventually our families and relationships, and she’s now one of my very close friends. I didn’t even realize how much we had in common and how much we would enjoy being friends. I just took a chance, put aside my worry that I would seem like a weirdo, and followed a hunch. I’m so glad I reached out to her - because otherwise, I wouldn’t have this sweet friend in my life.   Making friends is something that seems like it should come naturally - and it does sometimes - but more often it feels vulnerable and awkward and scary. I’m not totally comfortable doing it, but I think it’s worth it.   In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the 3 characteristics that are critical for adult friendships to flourish - consistency, vulnerability, and positivity.   We’ll talk about how you can develop these characteristics and take a look at how they look in real life adult friendships. These characteristics will help you, not only maintain your old friendships, but also attract new adult friends as well.   This episode is perfect for you if you’re feeling as if you’d like to deepen the friendships that you already have or be the kind of person who attracts new friends.   The first characteristic is consistency.   Old and new friendships need some amount of consistent interaction beyond “likes’ on Facebook to maintain their closeness and grow. Either get-togethers in person or phone calls or even emails. Some degree of regular, personal interaction is critical to keeping friendships alive.   It seems to me that middle-age is the hardest time to maintain and grow friendships. Having consistency in a friendship was a lot easier when we were younger.   My social life used to sort of revolve around the sports and the activities that my kids did - I made friends with the women who were also waiting for swimming lessons and I got to know people while we watched our kids play endless games of little league. There were regularly scheduled reasons for interacting because of carpooling and school events and volunteering.   There was a built-in consistency - we were in closer, day-to-day touch with each other because our kids were friends with people that lived in our neighborhood - we could grab a quick coffee while the kids played - it didn’t have to be a big, planned event to get together and catch up a little. We had more involvement with each other in a sort of accidental way.   The same was true in college - you almost couldn’t help making friends in college because your peers were always right there. We had time to make friendships, get to know each other, and build trust.   If you’re about my age, you’re busy with kids and your own career and time for friendship might feel like a luxury - and it might be sort of lower on your priority list just because you have so many other obligations and there’s only so much time in the day.   But this is the magic of friendship - it’s based on choice. It’s a completely voluntary relationship. The fact that it isn’t obligatory is what makes it so special.   The friends who we choose to make time for on a consistent basis are the ones we become closest to. When you have a new friend, you have to follow up and make plans again to keep the friendship growing. Consistency is the key to friendships because, especially when you’re a busy adult, it has to be a mutual choice to be available for each other, to make space in our lives for each other, and to rely on each other.   Which leads me nicely into the 2nd characteristic of deep adult friendships - which is  vulnerability.   I’ve talked a lot about vulnerability on this podcast - particularly in episode #9 - and vulnerability is a critical element of adult friendships.   Again, when our kids were little, there was some built-in vulnerability, because we shared a lot of the same issues and concerns. Our marriages, money worries, how the kids were getting along in school, whether or not they made the team, and who was feeling left out. With little kids, we most often has little problems. And the stakes were lower, most of the time.   In middle-age, we’re a little older, we’ve got bigger kids, and we’ve often got bigger problems. Sometimes embarrassing problems we don’t want to tell people about. Kids get into trouble, do stupid things, they sometimes treat us - their parents - very badly. We sometime have serious relationship issues or health issues. It’s a lot more vulnerable to share our concerns and issues when they scare us or hurt us. And the issues can feel like a reflection on us too - we wonder if we messed up somewhere along the way.   When the stakes are much higher, we might be more inclined to just keep our problems to ourselves and put on a brave face. It’s just easier.   Especially if we don’t have the consistent day to day contact, no one wants to dump a bunch of bad news on their friends.   Ironically, friendships can help us get through the tough, painful times - if we’re willing to be vulnerable - but being vulnerable feels risky because it could lead to rejection and more pain - so people avoid it.   This is how we start to drift apart - we stop sharing. We don’t rely on each other. To keep that from happening - we have to make intentional effort to keep being connected. We have to allow a balance of give and take and both parties in a friendship have to be willing to take a chance, to share the tough stuff, to be real.   If only one party is willing to be vulnerable - things get out of balance. It can be very painful and make us feel like we’re the only ones floundering, if we share and the other person doesn't.   The key is that you have to let the other person “give” to you as well. You have to “take” sometimes - and that’s super vulnerable. If you’re always the one doing the giving, you might feel good about yourself, but you won’t build a great friendship.   Both parties have to be willing to be vulnerable - because you can’t have a deep friendship without that balance.   This is a time in our lives where we get to pick who we are friends with. When our time becomes scarce, and the problems and issues become bigger and more painful - we really need to be picky about who we are friends with.   The third important element of deep adult friendships is positivity.   On top of consistency and vulnerability, the thing we need most from our friends is positivity.   We want to know that, even when we do share our biggest vulnerabilities, that our friends will lift us up. A consistent and reliable friend is someone you know you can count on, when you’re not at the top of your game. As we said at the beginning of the podcast, this is the friend you can call at 4 in the morning to share your troubles.   The close friends we have had for a long time hold our history, they know our families, and they’ve been there through the disappointments, the losses and the heartaches - as well as the celebrations and milestones.   These good friends are able to help us see past our own low moments. They help us remember that we really do love our partners, even when they annoy us or let us down. They know we love our children, even when they do stupid things and we swear we’re going to disown them. They help us regain our confidence when we have a setback or lose our jobs or get dumped. They see the best in us when no one else can.   We feel good about ourselves after spending time with a positive friend. And that doesn’t mean they just flatter us or tell us what we want to hear. Our closest friends are the one who can actually tell us what we don’t want to hear. They can help us see our blind-spots - because looking at yourself and seeing things you don’t like is extremely vulnerable. Having a friend who believes in you, even in your ugly moments is a real friend.   In the book, “The Myth Of Happiness” (which I will also link to in the show-notes), the author says that the most intimate, trusting friendships are distinguished not by how the friends respond to each other’s disappointments and losses, but by how they react to each other’s good news.”   Being  positive and happy for each other is a huge contributor to connection in a friendship. Your true friends are the ones you call when things go right! Because, oddly, being happy for yourself is quite vulnerable.   I’ve thought about this a lot - and I’ve found that this is really true - we only share the very happy and the very sad feelings with our truest, closest friends - the ones who are consistently there for us, the ones who are willing to be vulnerable as well, and the ones who give is a really positive feeling.   So there you have it - the 3 characteristics that create deep adult friendships are consistency, vulnerability, and positivity. In real life, this is what it looks like.   #1 Consistency - which means finding ways to have regular, in-person contact. You can do this by setting a regular coffee date, or phone call, or forming a group that meets on a regular basis. Doing this episode has made me look at where I do and don’t have consistency in my friendships. It’s reminded me that I used really enjoy being in a book club and a ladies dinner group that I was a part of when I lived in Portland, Oregon and that I’d like to get something like that going where I live now. Especially if you’re an introvert like me, it helps to build more consistency into my friendships and socializing.   #2 - Vulnerability - which means really sharing the truth of who you are and balancing that with allowing other people to help you. Not always putting on a brave face. Admitting when things are a little hard for you. Letting friends come over for coffee, even if your kitchen is a mess and you haven’t showered. Asking a friend to help you with something or just listen.   In looking at my friendships, I see that the ones I feel closest to are the ones who have let me be there for them. And the ones who have been there for me. It’s a really important balance.   Especially in a new friendship, being vulnerable a little at a time is ideal. This gives you a chance to build up consistency and establish that “give and take” that will create the balance that is needed for true friendship.   #3 - Positivity - those people who add to our lives in really positive ways. They are there for us consistently, they hold our vulnerabilities - but they also help lift us out of ourselves, they remind us of what’s good about us and about our lives. They’re interested in us and want to know and understand us. They listen. They see the best. The celebrate whatever makes us happy. These are the friends who we want to spend more time with because we just feel so dang good after hanging out with them.   I hope you feel good after listening today!   To wrap this up - I want to share one more thought. There’s a nurse, named Bronnie Ware, who worked with dying patients for many years. She wrote a book about the regrets she heard people talk about on their deathbeds - and one of the top 5 regrets people had was not keeping in touch with friends.   Many years ago, I called my good friend Erica, at 3 a.m.,  because my dog had died and I didn’t know who else to call. She was there for me, without missing a beat. I want to be that kind of friend. I hope you have a friend like that in your life. And if you don’t, it’s not too late to start being that person and building a friendship that will be that for you.   I get how hard it is to stay in touch - especially during this really busy season of our lives - but I’ve realized, after doing this episode, that it’s pretty simple. Be consistent, be vulnerable, and be positive.   I’ve gotten a lot of ideas for ways that I can create better friendships in my own life and I hope you have too! I’d love to hear from you, anytime -  I share a lot of insights over on Instagram @AnnieKipStyle - just send me a DM or make a comment on my posts.   Thanks for listening today!
