Blake Brandes loved his dissertation topic—hip-hop and global youth cultures—but was stuck in writing a crucial paper toward earning his Ph.D. His advisor suggested he create a rap album as a last chapter, so he did.

Co-founder of the personal development company, Motivational Millennial, Ivy is an expert on change, transformation and millennial success.

Blake was also my co-host on the Motivational Millennial podcast and my business partner for four and a half years. Together, Blake and I built a motivational speaking business in which we shared the messages of grit and the Growth Mindset with over 100,000 students, educators, and parents. Even though I recently sold my part of the business, Blake carries on this work today. While we mostly provided our messages in an educational setting, we both found the Growth Mindset helped in our business and professional lives as well. It’s this incredible power of the growth mindset that we’re discussing in this episode today.   What you'll hear in this episode: What Blake loves about the work he does to help students, educators, and parents learn to be more resilient and live happier lives What research says about the Growth Mindset Blake’s thoughts on how the Growth Mindset can positively impact your mind climate The power of “yet” Blake’s tips for bringing the Growth Mindset into your life Success stories of what people have been able to accomplish after adopting the Growth Mindset Taking back power by choosing to be happy What Ivy invites you to think about and do as you go into the next week   Connect with Ivy on Facebook and join the Mind Climate Community!

According to Tim Ferriss, your success is directly related to the number of uncomfortable conversations you have. Along those lines, a pretty popular quote is, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” While that quote has been attributed to many people, I’ve put my own spin on it … Growth is on the other side of fear. In this audio workshop, I want to expand this concept to our mind climate. I discuss the cycle that can happen when we experience discomfort and why it’s so important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.   What you'll hear in this episode: The Motivational Millennial podcast guest who inspired this episode What is an “anxious mind” and how does it relate to the discomfort cycle? A breakdown of what happens during the discomfort cycle The results of the discomfort cycle and how they can have a ripple effect on your life What happens when you break the discomfort cycle How riding a roller coaster is a great metaphor for experiencing, and breaking, the discomfort cycle Examples of situations that can trigger the discomfort cycle Multiple examples of a times Ivy broke the discomfort cycle   Connect with Ivy on Facebook and join the Mind Climate Community!
