On this milestone 100th original episode of the Decide Your Legacy Podcast, we are going to talk about the three main reasons that I struggle with change: pursuing comfort, giving in to fear, and holding onto a flawed identity. We'll cover my personal experience and perspective, touching on my journey as a therapist and content creator. Today I'm going to challenge you to recognize and confront your fears, to shift your mindset, and to redefine any flawed identities. The ultimate aim of these changes lies in improved mental health and personal growth. This episode includes tools such as an exercise called 'Be Truth Oriented' that can help you shift your mindset towards a more positive identity.00:40 Personal Reflections01:56 The Struggle with Change02:57 Facing Fears and Embracing Discomfort03:43 Identifying Personal Changes04:27 The Role of Comfort in Resistance to Change10:28 The Impact of Fear on Change15:48 Practical Steps to Overcome Resistance to Change16:20 The Power of Identity in Change28:49 Conclusion: Embrace Change and Decide Your LegacyBe sure to follow me on Instagram @adamgraggResources:Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James ClearThe Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life & Business by Charles DuhiggIf you found this information helpful, SUBSCRIBE TODAY and you'll receive our Free Video & Workbook Shatterproof Yourself: 7 Small Steps to a Giant Leap in Your Mental Health.

We all experience fear on some level - fear of the unknown, fear of money, fear of failure, the list goes on. Fear is also often found underlying higher-level emotions expressed in the moment such as anxiety, anger, or jealousy. In Session 1, mindfulness teacher and emotional intelligence expert, Michelle Maldonado talked about the importance of understanding how you are feeling and where it manifests physiologically. In this episode, Michelle dives into the body and brain connection of emotions - specifically fear. She shares effective tools such as R.A.I.N., journaling, and four agreements in order to break the fear cycle and increase your cognitive resilience.

Today I talk about how community/weak ties can make a huge impact. Specifically during hate and racism. How it is important to take a stand for what is right even if you are scared. Finding community can help get you out of your comfort zone and speak your story/support what is right. I reference the book The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg and it talks about Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and how the movement became so strong. I compare that to real time.

Today my guest is Masha Sedova, the co-founder of Elevate Security delivering the first people-centric security platform that leverages behavioral-science to transform employees into security superhumans. Elevate's unique Security Behavior Platform uses data to score employee risks, show actionable trends and practical feedback to motivate, reward and reinforce smart security behaviors of employees. This new approach to security awareness earned Elevate Security a spot in the 10 Finalists in the Innovation Sandbox Competition at the RSA 2020 Conference. Masha is a member of the Board of Directors for the National Cyber Security Alliance and a regular presenter at conferences such as Blackhat, RSA, ISSA, Enigma, and SANS. As we begin our conversation, Masha emphasizes the importance, no the urgency, of looking for the ‘silver lining’ of our disruptive event and how we can embrace the opportunities it presents to emerge with unique outcomes for positive change. Since human error accounts for about 90% of all breaches, Masha explains how new thinking and understanding of security awareness and training can be one of your ‘crisis opportunities’ to improve. It’s all about the data. One of RedZone's big ambitions is to essentially create a biological response on the networks, creating systems that are automated at scale. So, I ask Masha why she thinks we haven’t begun using data in the workplace the way we use it in other areas of our lives – like fitness. You may have a fully integrated Fitbit, so why haven’t we considered implementing similar data integration and thinking into our organization’s security awareness platform? There are some really great concepts and tools that we discuss here. This conversation will give you a chance to understand how to get out of the tactical fear part of your brain and really look into the strategy of security. This is an episode that you do not want to miss. Here are some of things that you will learn in this podcast episode: - Human error creates 90% of threat events - Behavioral Science behind changing behaviors – You must have all three Ability Motivation Trigger or reminder - Motivating factors Gamification Social proof Celebrity social proof - Heroes, Champions and Risk Takers | Segmenting an Organization into a concept called ‘cohorts’ - Including the user as part of the ‘team’ with ongoing communication acknowledgement for A+ results encouragement for improving results motivation for adequate results solutions and coaching for failing results - The Learning Pyramid – Organizations should develop training with the best methods of retention. - Empowering people has an exponential impact within the organization How to Connect with Masha Sedova LinkedIn Twitter Website Resources + Books Mentioned The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business, by Charles Duhigg.

Join us in this episode for the conclusion of my discussion with the amazing Paul C. Brunson, as we dive into everything from Oprah to family. Paul Carrick Brunson is a serial entrepreneur, television host, speaker, and author whose specialty lies in teaching others how to live and lead authentically. An internationally recognized expert in interpersonal relationships, personal development, and entrepreneurship, he currently serves as a featured business columnist for USA Today and co-host of UK's Celebs Go Dating television show. Major media outlets such as Good Morning America, the Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, Nightline, and Black Enterprise have sought Paul's insights on everything from finding love to pursuing your passion. Named as a Top Voice on LinkedIn and one of the world's most influential matchmakers, Oprah said herself that, “Paul is much more than a matchmaker.” The heart of his work is centered on impacting lives through mentorship and developing a new generation of servant-leaders with a desire to change the world. Paul is the founder and chair of “Give Love, Build Hope” – a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming schools in rural areas of the Caribbean. A proud son of his native Jamaica, Paul's greatest achievements are in his roles of husband and father. When he's not serving the world, he's serving his family – likely with a Red Stripe beer in one hand and a good book in the other. In this episode, Paul and I are sharing: How a small time YouTube series led to a job co-hosting on TV with Oprah and ultimately a super successful matchmaking company The lessons he learned from other uber successful people that he has embodied into his own life How doing pro bono work when starting your business can actually pay off for you His family priorities and how he and his family are living life unconventionally as well The things that have allowed Paul and his wife to build and run multiple successful businesses and still have tons of time for quality time with their kids His ‘secret sauce” to relationships Paul's tips for how to get started and rock your own entrepreneurial journey His podcast playlist And so much more!

The No Slack November special. The guys talk about how to be a "good" GTA (Graduate Teaching Assistant) and best options for grading lab reports. They take a stab at understanding the standardized testing used for grad school applications. Most importantly Steve schools us on MCAT testing, pricing, and the existence of financial aid for the testing and prep classes. They discuss how a PhD does not have to be the end all be all to someone's career and discuss how to keep options open even after specializing with a PhD. As per usual the guys take a turn down a rabbit hole and try to understand what is going on with dreams, in doing so they reveal some of their most memorable dreams. As a result, a short discussion into the importance of sleep and naps occurs. Ultimately the guys get into a deep discussion on fitness and how to make healthy habits, referencing The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg and Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink (which is also available in audiobook on most music apps). Now that the school semester seems to be calming down, the guys decide to challenge themselves with "No Slack November." The goal of No Slack November is to simply work out and build the habit of working out and MAYBE waking up early. Stay tuned and check out the Website, Facebook and Instagram for updates!!
A short interview with the New York Times journalist and author, Charles Duhigg, about habits and procrastination. As in his book, Charles distills a wealth of information about habits based on the latest research in this brief discussion. Charles also has some important things to say about how to find alternatives to the procrastination habit. If you want to know more about habits, read The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business.

Charles Duhigg is a writer for the business section of The New York Times. He's clearly pretty good at it, because he won a Pulitzer Prize in 2013 for a series of ten articles on Apple called iEconomy. He's also clearly pretty good at writing books, because The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business was on The New York Times bestseller list for 62 weeks. Basically, Charles Duhigg is pretty damn awesome. Oh, wait. He won a Pulitzer Prize and wrote a New York Times bestseller. He’s incredibly awesome. In this week's episode, Charles tells Bryan and Hunter about how the book came about (it began with civil unrest, food vendors and being with the US Armed Forces in Iraq), the science behind the book and how—by breaking down the true and often surprising sources of our own habits—we can shape our habits to fit our lives rather than the other way around. The Power of Habit is available from all good booksellers and you can follow Charles on twitter at @cduhigg.
The Power of Habit: If you’re like most of us you’ve tried over and over again to break a bad habit -- be it procrastinating, gorging on chocolate chip cookies every night, or watching TV rather than exercising. And you know how hard it is to “kick” bad habits. This week on How On Earth we offer one full-length feature (start at 7:57). Co-host Susan Moran interviews New York Times reporter Charles Duhigg, author of a new book titled The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business. Duhigg sheds light on why our brains form habits, how they serve (or don't) individuals, as well as companies and societies, and how we can turn bad habits into positive ones once we understand what scientists call the habit "loop."
