You need space to process that.” (Chris) “You're going to touch people's ego when you try to teach them something. You're going to have doubt, fear, all these emotions that are very human and normal but that people don't talk about.” (Valeria) “Not all successful people know everything. Not all successful people are without fear or doubt. All of us have it. It's just how well can you manage it and move forward rather than stay stagnant and stuck?” (Valeria) “Not all gratitude given is gratitude heard. Gratitude … can sometimes come across as convenient, selfish or lazy.” (Chris) “The failures and bad moments can be a privilege to experience … (because) what you don't know can start eating away at you.” (Valeria) “Gratitude is just really good for business and it's really good for people. Because, at the end of the day, we aren't profit-making monster machines. We are humans and every human deserves to be loved, heard and valued.” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:More about Dr. Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages can be found here.Learn about mirroring and other communication techniques in Chris Voss's book, "Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It.""The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer," by Steven Kotler.Learn about how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works at this link. ABOUT OUR GUEST:Valeria Torres is the Director of Operations and Business Portfolio Consultant for 8 Figure Firm.

I'm thrilled to be joined by Jordan Bokser, and we're set to delve into the intriguing topic of embracing our inner shadows with humility. Jordan's journey began with undertaking vital work on himself, making a conscious decision to extend the support he received while navigating his own trials towards achieving happiness and success.  Initially, he provided personal counseling and coaching to those looking to modify their lives or enhance their existing circumstances. Over time, his repertoire has expanded to encompass a broad range of services, including life strategy consultations, retreats, and breathwork sessions, all uniquely crafted to suit each individual's needs.  Jordan adopts a holistic methodology, focusing on every facet of human existence - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and even financial. He firmly believes that genuine happiness springs from the entirety of a person, not merely isolated parts. He extends his assistance beyond merely tackling surface-level issues, diving deep into each person's unique circumstances. His ultimate aim is to guide clients towards achieving true happiness and success in their lives. We talk about the 'Hearty Method', a unique approach developed by Jordan that centers on a heart-based, ecstatic, action-oriented, resilient, truthful, and youthful way of living.  Jordan shares his belief that true happiness emerges from the holistic integration of the individual, examining the depth of this philosophy. We also touch on the role of breathwork in Jordan's practice and more.  [04:08] Jordan shares why he can counsel people to achieve happiness and success. Healing is giving love to someone else's demon. [08:35] Being an observer and focusing on what we see. [10:57] Jordan talks about why working with the subconscious is so important. Some people don't even understand what happiness means and they're looking at it through a certain lens. [12:08] Teaching people to understand what it feels to be expansive and seeing the thoughts that block the layers. What are your true values? [13:21] When working with clients it can take two to three hours just to figure out what their true values really are. [14:55] The Hearty Method evolved as Jordan was trying to heal from being sick. It started with his Hearty Gentlemen blog. He was into natural healing, but he had a very negative ayahuasca experience. [18:11] HEARTY stands for heart focus, ecstatic, action-based, resiliency, truthfulness, and youthfulness. [19:32] He uses his method to guide people through their darkness the way he was guided through his darkness. [22:52] Jordan talks about how breathwork takes him to a connected place. [24:40] Jordan has studied tantric, Qigong, and his go-to standard is elemental breath work. It removes the complication and makes breath work simple. [29:27] Jordan talks about elemental breath work and how it can be done longer because it's simpler.  [31:30] We go through the Earth breath and the water breath. We can slow down and speed up time with just a breath. [34:53] True happiness comes from the whole person. This includes mental, physical, and spiritual. [36:56] We can treat anything as a whole body approach. [39:13] We need resiliency and action because when we achieve things we feel good. [40:01] Pushing yourself beyond your limits and getting into a flow state.   Links mentioned in this episode: Camelback Recovery I Love Being Sober YouTube Jordan Bokser Jordan Bokser Instagram Jordan Bokser LinkedIn Ram Dass Going Home The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself Othership app The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer

I was stoked when I got the chance to speak to human performance expert, Steven Kotler, about discovering purpose by accessing a flow state, and unleashing passions from your vision board out into the real world.  Being “inflow” is a somewhat vague term frequently dropped in wellness circles that often lack the concrete tools to get you into that state or explain why it’s good for you. However, Steven’s performance principles, grounded in neuroscience, rigorous research, and real-life examples (myself being one of them), demonstrate how a flow state of mind can alter your daily routine and even your life’s trajectory.  We dig into some of Steven’s core principles from his most recent book, The Art of the Impossible, and dissect the best ways to approach your dreaded to-do list so that you can squeeze more juice – with a dash of Dopamine – out of your everyday life.    12:02 — What Do We Mean by Peak Performance? Motivation, learning, creativity, and flow Why his work is relevant to these times  How The Flow Research Collective has evolved during the Covid-19 crisis    24:18 — Reinventing Yourself  Stabilizing your nervous system  Gratitude, mindfulness, and exercise The Passion Recipe  Cherishing hard work    41:00 —How to Get into a Flow State The power of memories  Using history as a resource  Finding your personal strength    49:44 — The “No Pressure, No Diamonds” Principle Taking what you want from the world Rising to the challenge  Dealing with procrastination  Doing the hard thing first  Dopamine rewards  The path of mastery    1:05:15 — The To-do List The difference between high hard goals and clear goals Hand motion and memory  Getting into flow as a writer    More about this episode.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them?  Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities? Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated? EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to. In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF. By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

It's no secret that 2020 was a challenging year for so many people. So, in 2021, I'm focusing even more on my personal wellness routine and my overall mental and physical health. And one of the non-negotiables in my life is getting my daily dose of healthy light, which is why I’ve been using Joovv red light therapy devices for years now. And Joovv’s new Generation 3.0 devices are sleeker and lighter, with all the same power you'd come to expect. They also include some cool features like Recovery Plus mode, which can give you an extra healing boost that optimizes the recovery process. They've also got a new feature called ambient mode, which uses lower intensity light to support your sleep and circadian rhythms, and to help counteract all of the artificial blue light that keeps you up at night that might be present in your home. You can get an exclusive discount on Joovv Generation 3.0 devices at www.Joovv.com/luke.   AND...   LMNT. Electrolytes are essential for an optimal lifestyle – they help not only with training & recovery, but also with fasting, low energy, fatigue, headaches, and they help curb cravings and regulate the keto flu when transitioning to a ketogenic diet. LMNT is already being used by Navy SEALS, U.S. Olympians, and pro athletes from the NBA and NFL for hydration and recovery.

In today's episode, we cover flow state with Steven Kotler. Steven is the founder and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, and is the author of nine international bestsellers including The Rise of Superman and Stealing Fire, and has a new book, The Art of Impossible - A Peak Performance Primer, coming out this month. Flow state is an amazing aspect of the human experience that can boost your productivity to untold levels, but why is it also important to our happiness and strength as a community, how do you tap into it in your daily life, and what is the biggest myth surrounding flow state? What to Listen For Steven Kotler's Introduction - 0:00 What is Flow State and How Do You Get Into It - 10:40 What is flow state and how do you get into it? What is flow state and why is it important for our satisfaction and community strength? What are the 6 core characteristics of flow state? Why does time seem to slow down when in flow state? Are we doing damage to our children by not pushing them to play outside and experience the flow state early on? What happens biologically when we find ourselves in flow state? What are flow triggers and how can we use them to get into flow when we most need it? What is the first rule of improv and why is it integral to getting into flow state in a conversation? The Myth About Flow State - 31:45 What is the biggest myth around flow state? Taking Care of Your Mind When You're Pushing Yourself - 33:46 What can you do if you are worried about burn out? How are anxiety and flow state connected, and what can you do to manage your anxiety so it doesn't kill your flow state? Why do affirmations not work while gratitude does work? What is the difference between active recovery and passive recovery and why does one pale in comparison to the other? Entering into flow state used to be something associated with artists and athletes, but science has shown it is accessible to anyone with the ability to focus. Being in a flow state is a result of focusing on a task to the point where you're not trying to think - all of your thoughts and actions simply flow. But tapping into your flow state, as with anything, requires consistent practice with whatever it is you are doing, and a willingness to focus without distraction.
