Podcasts about motely

Over the next week or so, I wanted to reshare the top several episodes of 2024! These are essentially "voted on" by you, the listeners, based on the episodes that had the most downloads over the course of the past calendar year.​​For longtime listeners of the podcast, I think this will be a welcomed revisit of the compelling, invigorating conversations had with these guests; for newer listeners of The Red Light Report, you are undoubtedly in for a treat. Sit back, relax and enjoy learning from some of the best minds and thought leaders in the wellness and longevity spaces!- The more and more I learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, the more I am intrigued and it just makes intuitive sense. It also helps when you learn this deep and complex knowledge from someone as intelligent and articulate as (now) three-time guest, Dr. Chris Motley. Long-time listeners of the show are familiar with Dr. Motley and his amazing command and intuition when it comes to TCM and other holistic modalities; new listeners.... you are in for a treat! He is by far one of my favorite humans to talk with, on and off the mic. Dr. Motley not only speaks from his depth of learning the information, but even more so from hands-on experience from his full day's of treating patients. During our conversation today, he details some fascinating discoveries he's made via experimenting with red light therapy and acupuncture points; he has observed some profound results particularly with viruses!  We also take a deep dive into the importance of our fascial system and why it is a crucial (and, unfortunately, a highly underrated and overlooked organ system) facet of our overall wellbeing. Most commonly known for playing a major role in our mobility and flexibility, the fascia plays a much deeper role in our vitality. Dr. Motley and I also discuss the invaluable role that cupping plays in optimizing fascial health, which leads to innumerable benefits that we detail during our talk. ​​We also delve into some intriguing topics that are of special interest to Dr. Motley currently, including psychological aspect of physiological growth, the connection between psychological stress and organ growth patterns and the exploration of devices that detect static charges on the skin for diagnostic purposesI hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Motely.

  It’s no wonder you hate public speaking. Why your hands get sweaty, your heart beats fast; your mouth goes dry. Why, when something goes wrong, you panic, why you spend hours practicing only to end up forgetting what you have to say.  It’s no freakin’ wonder. It’s no wonder why you say things like “I’d rather get in a car wreck” than do that presentation that’s on your schedule.  It’s no wonder. . . Why, when you finally do make your way through whatever speaking thing you’ve got to do you end up reviewing it in your mind, with excruciating detail, picking out every “mistake” you made, everything you should’ve done better, every audience member’s face creating stories in your mind about how bored they were. It’s no freaking wonder. It’s no wonder you hate public speaking so much because people like me, like your old teachers, like the speaking experts you watch on social media, handed you a list of to do’s, a false set of formulas, tips, tricks, and fixes and told you if you followed them that your fear would go away. That if you did all of the things, that you would be able to put on the performance of a lifetime.  We promised you to standing ovations, feedback sheets filled with positive comments, and endless streams of requests to speak coming in. It’s no wonder you hate public speaking so much.  Because we told you things like; -don’t read but don’t memorize (oooooook?) -practice makes perfect (uh-yeah, until it makes you neurotic) -personalize what you have to say (but don’t be too personal) -use big gestures (but don’t distract your audience) -avoid death by PowerPoint (but make sure you have slides for people to follow along) -tell stories (but don’t’ make it too much about yourself) -remember that it’s a performance (therefore you better put on a good show) -know your audience (except that’s impossible ‘cuz you can’t KNOW everyone, you don’t) -get in the zone (you’re not playing football, where the heck is the zone) -don’t’ start a greeting with a great hook (people are not fish, and Hi is a typical human-polite human greeting) -deliver a jaw-dropping experience (sometimes what you’re talking about is boring, period, like a board meeting, don’t’ try to get cute, say what you’ve got to say and get out. CONTEXT matters). -if you make a mistake, you’ll leave a terrible impression (way to scare people and underestimate the audience listening to them) -what do I do with my hands (grown adults, asking what they do with their hands, a reminder here, you’ve been using them your whole life, you know what to do with them)? It is no freaking wonder you hate public speaking. And I’m so sorry because you deserve to be heard. You deserve to speak without fear. You deserve to share your stories, your data, your ideas…without being afraid. I’m apologizing now because I have taught all of these things at one point or another, not realizing that in so many cases that “the sage” speaking advice so that so many people give, actually stops people from ever starting.  I mean, there are So.many.rules. (and I say rules lightly because for heaven’s sake there’s no public speaking police task force waiting to come to get you if you start unknowingly fidgeting because you’re nervous). You hate public speaking because you’ve been led to believe that to be successful at it that you must put on an act.  And somewhere in the back of your mind, you think if you wanted to act, you’d have gone on to study acting and become a Broadway star.  What’s even worse is that you’re afraid that, if you speak as yourself, you’re going to be rejected for what you say…so put on an even bigger act… and it all seems off. There are so many rules that tell you “how to act” with the underlying implication that if you somehow fail to hit all of these markers, YOU will be a failure, in front of lots of people, which is embarrassing. We’re humans, and we avoid embarrassment like it’s COVID (yup, I said that, meaning that some folks go to extremes with this, one way or the other). It’s no wonder so many people stay silent. It’s no wonder why people hate it so much.  We’ve been teaching it wrong for ages.  You see what I’ve learned from teachers who take a different approach, people you’ve never likely heard of like Steven Vrooman, Keynote Speaker, Professor at Texas Lutheran University & self-proclaimed  Nerd About leadership, social media marketing & pop culture and Michael T. Motely who wrote this obscure but data-based book on Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking, is that Public speaking is not supposed to be a performance, it’s supposed to be a conversation. A conversation is defined as a talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged. I’m going to say that one more time, a conversation is defined as talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people in which news and ideas are exchanged. Doesn’t that sound easier? Doesn’t that sound better? Doesn’t that sound, dare I say it…more authentic?  Doesn’t that eliminate the need for you to “BE THE EXPERT” and “PROVE YOUR CREDIBILITY” and instead allow you to share what you know with the people who you are talking to in a normal and natural way, for YOU. Your style, using tools that help you and your audience understand. Eliminating the need to have it ALL FIGURED out and instead allowing you to structure things in a way that makes it easy for you to say and easy for others to understanding. You aren’t a Broadway star; you are a person who already knows how to talk, how to have a conversation. You have conversations every day. It’s no wonder you hate public speaking, you’ve been told from the get-go it’s something that’s hard and that only the elite few who chose to dedicate themselves to it will ever be truly successful at.  Dang, that’s isn’t that like telling a kid to quit gymnastics or football before they even start because what’s there’s no point if you don’t make it to the Olympics. For crying out loud, way to be a buzz kill. Listen, before we ever talk about things that might be helpful to you as a speaker it’s important for you to know that you don’t have to view public speaking as a performance; as an act. In fact, if you decide to stay along for the ride, I’m going to actively tell you not to. I’m going to tell you why practicing ad nauseum is really killing you, I’m going to tell you that the best thing you can do with your hands is whatever the heck you’d normally do them (except pick your nose or a wedgie or something, I mean there are some things that are just weird to do in public). We’re going to talk about why your stories matter and why you shouldn’t tell them all or go all crazy vulnerable with your audience. We’re going to talk about when it might make sense to smile, even though you don’t feel like it and when it makes absolutely ZERO sense to smile. We’re going to talk about all of these things and more. Because I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you can speak. I know that you need to speak. I know that you want to speak and be heard. I know that you have something to say and that you need to say it your way, in your words, so it carries the kind of impact that you’ve always wanted to make. I know no one else can say it like you.  And I know that if you don’t, you will live with regret. Today, I’m going to leave you with this question.
