Instead, he developed a mental framework based on discipline, humility, resilience, emotional control, and relentless self-improvement.This hypnosis session draws upon seven core principles that define the Nadal mindset:• Respect Every Opponent, Fear None• Focus Only on the Next Point• Intensity Is a Choice• Stay Humble, Especially When Winning• Suffering Is Part of Excellence• Emotional Control Creates Competitive Freedom• Improvement Never EndsThrough hypnosis, you'll discover how to let go of anxiety about outcomes and focus on the next step in front of you.

How on earth did you find a place like that?M: I just found it online. W:Great.Text 10M:Hello, I'm Jeff Anderson from Coventry, England. And in today's program, I'd like to share with you a special kind of English culture — the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such as Liverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens. Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement, as far as victories are concerned.England had its big moment in 1966 in Wimbledon Stadium. The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub, a symbol of hope — the English flag. While football has never been something I'm particularly interested in. For years, I've had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You cannot say you don't like or do not follow football in England, as often this will lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin telling you why you should support their team.

Susie is mad about birds and chipmunks and Sarah is mad about noise pollution, but it's clear they're both old ladies. Susie also had an e-bike accident, and it's a fun reminder to drive sober. Also, if you love data, get a keychain breathalyzer. Sarah talks about a mosaic of a bull at an Italian mall that needed some sprucing up, but apparently the artist who restored it sucked, well, balls. We also learn about other art Sarah is mad at including the Art Basel Comedian piece where a banana is taped to a wall, and the reason it's in the news again. Plus, we hear about a man who won the lottery because his wife was being annoying, and now we think we should win the lottery with our listeners.00:00 - Birds, Squirrels, and Noise Pollution: Our Old Lady Grievances07:07 - Susie's E-Bike Accident: Don't Drink and Drive21:11 - Testing the Keychain Breathalyzer: Data on Drinking and Driving25:53 - The Castrated Bull Mosaic: A Disastrous Art Restoration35:33 - The $6 Million Banana and the Problem with Tech Bros in Art49:59 - Annoying Wife Leads to a $315 Million Lottery Win01:02:57 - Nicotine Addiction: Some People Can't Get AddictedBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For up to 65% off your order, head to https://veracityhealth.co and use code BRAINCANDYSave 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/braincandy #honeylovepodDownload HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/4iJ1lTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Luck is not a personality trait you either have or you don't. It is something you build, and science tells us there are specific, learnable skills behind why some people consistently seem to be in the right place at the right time while others walk right past the same opportunities.Tina Seelig has spent over 25 years at Stanford teaching and studying exactly this. As Executive Director of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program and a longtime faculty member at the Stanford d.school, she has watched thousands of students move through the world, and the differences between those who generate luck and those who don't are far more concrete and actionable than most people realize. Her new book is What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements.In this conversation, you will explore:What separates fortune from luck, and why that distinction changes everything about where you actually have agency in your lifeThe ship, crew, and sail framework for understanding what it really takes to become luckier, and where most people skip a stepWhy your mental model of failure, whether it feels like a trampoline or a black hole, may be the single most powerful predictor of how much luck you createThe hidden social behaviors that consistently show up in the luckiest people, from thank-you notes to a very specific way of asking for helpWhy luck is a long game, and the story of how behavior at a disastrous Costa Rica resort determined the outcome of a job interview fifteen years laterIf you have ever looked at someone who seems consistently lucky and wondered what they are doing differently, this conversation will give you some clear answers.You can find Tina at: LinkedIn | Episode TranscriptNext week, we are featuring one of our most talked-about conversations from the archive, Tj Power on the four brain chemicals that are quietly running your life and why the modern environment is throwing them out of balance in ways that make everything from motivation to genuine connection harder than it should be.

Kent McCord became a television icon as Officer Jim Reed on Adam-12, one of the most influential police dramas in television history. But long before Adam-12, Kent's life was already taking remarkable turns.

Storyteller and librarian Roslyn Quin joins Liz and Ben to discover there’s nowt as queer as folklore, as we discuss Terry Pratchett’s 2008 (and 2009 and 2014) collaboration with folklorist Jacqueline Simpson, The Folklore of Discworld. Wherever there are folk, you’ll find folklore: the stories, traditions, superstitions and more that tell people who they are, and make up their world. The curious thing is, the folklore of a flat world swimming through space on the back of a giant turtle turns out to have a considerable amount in common with that of a round world orbiting a star… The Folklore of Discworld is part a greatest hits collection of Terry’s imagination, and part a summary of the Roundworld lore that inspired or at least resembles its Discworld counterparts. Like The Science of Discworld books it’s a collaboration with an expert in the field – in this case, Dr Jacqueline Simpson of the Folklore Society. Unlike those books, however, there’s no neat division into fiction and non-fiction chapters, with the whole thing written in one voice. It both assumes a fair amount of interest in the Discworld, but also repeats lots of lore about creatures, people and places that fans will probably know, so it’s the discussion and the comparison to Roundworld – and especially British – folklore that makes it shine. What are your favourite bits of folklore here, whether from the Disc or from Roundworld? Do you feel like this has Pratchett’s voice, or is it mostly Simpson’s? Was there enough detail, or were you yearning for more? Which of the versions did you read? And what folklore would you love to see included if it was ever revised again? Join our online conversation via email or by incanting the magic phrase #Pratchat93 on the social media platform of your choice (assuming it’s one where we are). Guest Roslyn Quin (she/they) is a storyteller, librarian, puppeteer, actor, clown and artist who began her performance career with the 2012 solo storytelling show The Red Bird and Death. Since then she’s performed as part of festivals, cabaret and burlesque nights, on podcasts (including the hit Australian audio comedy Love and Luck), and wherever two or more are gathered together and ready to hear a tale. These days you’ll mostly find Ros telling stories to children of all ages at Yarra Plenty Regional Libraries. As mentioned in the episode, she’ll also be telling stories at 6, 7 and 8 PM on Friday 3 July for Melbourne’s free Firelight Festival at Docklands Park! You can also find out more about Ros at roslynquin.com. You can find episode notes and errata on our web site.

In this episode, we explore Habit #23: Magnetic Nicknames and how I changed my name to Lucky and used AI to reinforce a new identity faster simply by asking my AI chatbot to call me "Lucky." Get the Book: https://www.tinyurl.com/MagneticHabitsDiscover the science behind the I AM Lucky AI Hack and how it may help activate neuroplasticity, the Reticular Activating System (RAS), and identity-based beliefs that can help you become luckier by training your brain to notice more opportunities, expect better outcomes, and strengthen the belief that good things happen to you.After researching whether changing your name to Lucky was actually a thing, I discovered there is far more science behind it than I ever imagined. Your name is one of the strongest identity anchors in your life. Every time you hear it, your brain reinforces the identity connected to it.Because the fastest way to attract what you want may not be changing your circumstances first—it may be changing how you see yourself. After all, if you want to attract what you want faster, you must first feel like the person who already has it.

Gary Kusin is a legendary entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and former CEO of GameStop and the executive who led Kinko's through a remarkable turnaround before its $2.4 billion acquisition by FedEx. Over a decades-long career, Gary has built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses while developing a reputation as one of the sharpest strategic thinkers in entrepreneurship. In this episode, Travis shares some of his biggest lessons from Gary's appearance on the show, covering everything from mentorship and hard work to debt management and identifying opportunities in the marketplace. On this episode we talk about: Why finding a market opportunity is often more important than following your passion The role mentors played in Gary's career and how great mentorship can change your trajectory Why hard work and working smart are complementary—not competing—ideas The dangers of debt in seasonal and cyclical businesses How constantly building relationships and maintaining a Plan B creates long-term career security Top 3 Takeaways The best business opportunities often come from identifying unmet market demand rather than pursuing personal passions. Mentorship can dramatically accelerate success, but the most effective mentors are often outside your organization and industry. Staying prepared, building relationships, and keeping your options open creates opportunities long before you need them. Notable Quotes "Find the hole in the market. The passion can stay a hobby." "Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness." "The people who win the most work smarter and harder."

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber lean into the tension of Knicks NBA Finals anticipation, debating whether this matchup with the Spurs is New York's best and maybe only real shot at a championship.

Before 911, Before Organ Donation Laws, Before Physician AssistantsImagine calling for help during a medical emergency in the 1960s and discovering there was no coordinated EMS system.Imagine lifesaving organs being lost because there was no legal framework for donation.Imagine overworked doctors without trained Physician Assistants helping bridge the gap in care.That was American healthcare before identical twin brothers Fred Sadler, M.D., and Blair Sadler, J.D. started working together.In this fascinating episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau sits down with the pioneering physician-and-lawyer team behind some of the most transformative healthcare innovations of the last century.Their book, (P)Luck: Lessons We Learned for Improving Healthcare and the World, reads like a hidden history of modern medicine. One part policy thriller. One part leadership memoir. One part blueprint for how unlikely collaborations can reshape entire systems.Together, the Sadler brothers helped establish the legal foundations for organ donation, shaped the early Physician Assistant profession, contributed to the creation of Emergency Medical Services in the United States, and helped elevate bioethics into mainstream healthcare conversations.But this conversation is bigger than medicine.It is about what happens when expertise crosses disciplines. What happens when a doctor and a lawyer stop arguing across conference tables and start building solutions together.Lisa Champeau explores the brothers' remarkable journey through the chaos and reinvention of American healthcare during the 1960s and 1970s, the risks they took inside large institutions, and the leadership lessons they believe still matter today.For listeners who love hidden histories, systems thinking, public policy, innovation, and stories about people quietly shaping the world behind the scenes, this episode delivers a remarkable deep dive into how modern healthcare was built.

Luck is the number one factor for career success, said legendary executive search pioneer Egon Zehnder to a young Claudio Fernández-Aráoz early in his career. After four decades of placing leaders at the highest levels of global business, Claudio has come to agree. But luck, he argues, is only part of the story. The factor leaders can control, and the one that separates good organizations from great ones, is the quality of their people decisions. Claudio is a top global expert on leadership and talent, family businesses, and personal growth, having personally conducted more than 20,000 leadership interviews. In this Tugboat Institute® talk, he draws on decades of experience and vivid real-world examples to explain why our brains are hardwired to make poor hiring choices, how to assess both competence and potential, and why making great people decisions is the most powerful driver of lasting organizational success, one that aligns naturally with the Evergreen® commitment to building companies that endure. Listen and be inspired to raise the standard for how you find and develop the people who will carry your company forward.

Real Forno Show: Kyler Murray Injury Concerns, Rams Trade for Myles Garrett, and Vikings GM Nolan Teasley — Tyler Forness and producer Dave discuss major NFL trades—Myles Garrett to the Rams (for Jared Verse plus future picks) and A.J. Brown to the Patriots—and how NFC contenders' aggressive moves make the Vikings' Super Bowl path harder. They then examine Kyler Murray's injury history, arguing the “injury-prone” narrative is overstated: his biggest absences stem from two major injuries (a 2022 ACL tear and a Lisfranc-type foot injury), with a few minor missed games otherwise, and that timing/luck affects perception versus quarterbacks like Joe Burrow. They announce a members-only live call-in show on June 22 for paid channel members, then take questions on Vikings cap space, RB3, Dallas Turner replacing Jonathan Greenard, edge depth (including Clowney), Teasley's possible front-office changes, and Tyrian Ingram-Dawkins' fit. 00:00 Kyler Injury Narrative 01:30 NFL Trade Shockwaves 02:05 Garrett to Rams Breakdown 06:58 A.J.

The luckier you are the nicer you should be, plus three questions from you.

The idea of creating more "luck" in your life may not be random at all, but instead something that can be influenced through a few simple but powerful shifts in how you think and act each day.     On today's show, I go over 7 core principles behind why some people consistently attract opportunities while others feel like they're always missing their break.     We'll explore how forward momentum, awareness, and preparation all play a role in opening doors you may not have seen before, and why waiting for the "perfect moment" can often hold people back more than they realize.     I'll also break down how your surroundings and internal focus quietly shape the opportunities you notice, and how subtle shifts in both can begin to change your trajectory over time.     Most importantly, you'll learn how these principles work together to create what we often label as "luck," and how small, intentional actions can compound into very different outcomes over time.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3762 as we uncover how to create more luck in your life, and how you may already be closer to it than you think.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3762 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo reconnects with Dan Wentzel to unpack the dramatic shift that's taken place over the last several episodes. After months of overthinking, hesitation, and struggling with analysis paralysis, Dan is now operating from a completely different place: confidence built through reps, action, and real-world experience. What makes this conversation powerful is that the breakthrough didn't come from one magical strategy or perfect deal. It came from volume, repetition, relationships, and exposure to real offers in the marketplace. As Dan shares updates on an off-market self-storage opportunity he's been negotiating for months, the conversation reveals how seeing other buyers' offers, collaborating with the Storage Wins community, and repeatedly underwriting deals helped him realize something important: most experienced investors arrive at similar conclusions. That realization changed everything. The episode also dives into one of the most important principles in entrepreneurship and investing: progress creates confidence. Alex explains how momentum compounds through action—and how hesitation, overthinking, and fear create the exact opposite cycle. Along the way, Alex shares a personal story about nearly losing his first storage deal because he spent too much time trying to perfect contracts and eliminate uncertainty before moving forward. It becomes a powerful lesson in why confidence is built through action—not endless preparation.

Bill Powers and Brian Leni discuss listener feedback and why shareholders often don't push back when they are unpleased with management. The duo emphasizes building a disciplined investing process, protecting the downside, and avoiding FOMO. The conversation covers “luck” versus skill, learning from losses, and when to use other investors'/groups' reputations as decision-making inputs. Brian's talks about his Aurion investment that ultimately paid off despite timing delays. They also debate director compensation (cash vs options), red flags in board incentives, the power and danger of narrative-driven promotions, conference value (PDAC, Beaver Creek, Quebec City, Rick Rule's), and avoiding market-timing seasonality. 00:00 Intro 01:18 Shareholder pushback 07:58 Skill vs luck 17:23 Responsibility and timing 23:23 Following smart money 27:20 Aurion takeover 31:24 Director incentives 37:59 FOMO and discipline 41:16 Picking conferences 43:56 Narratives and hype 52:14 Summer outlook Brian's website: https://www.juniorstockreview.com/ Brian's YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FIELD_NOTES Bill's Twitter: https://x.com/MiningStockEdu Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Bill and Brian and not licensed financial advisors.

Somebody books a big role and everybody says the same thing. They got lucky. They just got lucky. And yes. Of course luck plays a role in this industry. It can be the luck of being in the right place, right time, right project. You're just the right actor. But if you look closely at actors who work consistently, not flash in the pan, but those who have a consistent career, something else becomes very clear. What looks like luck from the outside is usually preparation meeting opportunity. What Actors Think Luck Looks Like There's this idea that a career unfolds like this. One audition, one big booking, and everything changes overnight. I remember thinking that as a young, and I'm going to add this word in, foolish actor. That makes a great story. But the reality is that most overnight success stories look very different. Usually it involves years of training. Usually it involves hundreds of auditions. One of the things I used to say to myself was this is one audition in a lifetime of auditions. You're going to be auditioning and auditioning and auditioning. It's just one audition. It also involves building relationships over time with casting directors, directors, writers, producers. And so many roles that didn't lead anywhere. I have one particular story where I got into the orbit of one of the biggest television producers out there. They really liked me. I had a recurring role on their show. And then it got canceled after one season. That wasn't bad luck. That was just a role that looked like it was really going to go somewhere, but because I wasn't savvy enough about the business back then, it eventually dried up. Success Doesn't Happen to You The amazing Jen Sincero says success doesn't happen to you. It happens because of you. When you see success as luck you are accidentally handing over your power. Just giving it over. Preparation is something people don't see. Just like an Olympic figure skater. You don't see the hours of preparation. You see one performance. Working actors tend to have one thing in common. They are ready when the opportunity appears. And that readiness includes strong audition skills, strong self-tape skills, professional materials, a clear understanding of their casting type, and comfort being themselves on camera. When the right audition arrives they are able to deliver. And as a casting director that is the biggest thing I am begging actors to do. I want them to deliver the goods. Instead of seeing opportunities as a rare miracle, working actors see them as moments to be prepared for. Preparation creates confidence and confidence creates opportunity. That's an energetic thing. That's a mindset thing. Relationships Look Like Luck Too Casting directors remember actors. Agents and managers submit the actors they trust to deliver. Directors bring people back who are great to work with. From the outside that might look like someone suddenly got a break. But very often that opportunity is the result of years of consistent professionalism. Luck Favors Momentum Luck favors movement. Momentum. Good things, good energy comes out of momentum. The idea of just waiting to be noticed doesn't work. Opportunity usually appears when you are already working. Work begets work. And it doesn't even have to be something big. It can be something small. Work begets work. Working actors train, they create projects, they audition. They meet collaborators at film festivals, meet and greets, industry events. The universe can only respond to the energy you are putting into motion. Actors who stay active tend to encounter more opportunities. It just makes logistical sense. But from the outside, yeah, that can sometimes look like luck. The Bottom Line Yes, there is an element of unpredictability in this business. But luck alone will not sustain a career. What sustains a career is preparation, relationships, consistency, and confidence. Being good at your job, but knowing you are good at your job. Luck may open the door. But preparation is always what will allow you to walk through it. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? Mandy and I do a free Ask Us Anything session pretty much every month.

The idea of creating more "luck" in your life may not be random at all, but instead something that can be influenced through a few simple but powerful shifts in how you think and act each day.     On today's show, I go over 7 core principles behind why some people consistently attract opportunities while others feel like they're always missing their break.     We'll explore how forward momentum, awareness, and preparation all play a role in opening doors you may not have seen before, and why waiting for the "perfect moment" can often hold people back more than they realize.     I'll also break down how your surroundings and internal focus quietly shape the opportunities you notice, and how subtle shifts in both can begin to change your trajectory over time.     Most importantly, you'll learn how these principles work together to create what we often label as "luck," and how small, intentional actions can compound into very different outcomes over time.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3762 as we uncover how to create more luck in your life, and how you may already be closer to it than you think.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3762 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
