Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"I'm significantly better at my craft sober... I can deliver a better result for people who have spent their hard earned money coming to my show." - ZeddWorld-renowned DJ and producer Zedd opens up about a transformative revelation that changed his relationship with alcohol and performing. Through meticulous calorie tracking and data from his Whoop device, he discovered that his pre-show ritual of multiple Jack and Coke Zeros was masking a deeper truth about his artistry. The turning point came during a pivotal Las Vegas show where, faced with a caloric choice between eating or drinking, he took the stage completely sober - only to experience the same electric connection with his audience that he previously attributed to alcohol.What started as a practical decision about calories evolved into a profound professional epiphany. Zedd reveals how he confronted and overcame the paralyzing fear that sobriety would end his career, discovering instead that the real source of his performance energy came from genuine passion for his craft and connection with his audience. His journey from believing he "couldn't perform sober" to recognizing that he's actually "significantly better" without alcohol offers a compelling look at how facing our fears can lead to unexpected breakthroughs in both personal and professional life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!

George Mumford is a psychologist, elite performance expert, and author of The Mindful Athlete.  He has worked with worldclass athletes including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal. He has also consulted with college and Olympic athletes, corporate executives, and inmates, and is a sought-after public speaker at both business and athletic conferences nationally and internationally.  His latest booked is title: Unlocked: Embrace your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success.    Some interesting insights from this episode: ·       Unlocked is releasing the masterpiece within.  It's embracing your inner greatness. ·       Being authentic is a core part of being unlocked. “We remove the extraneous, the layering of our conditioning and defenses, and the ways that we have been untrue to who we really are until we find what is authentic within us - an authenticity that is always there, waiting to be revealed.” ·       Kobe Bryant once said of George Mumford: “George helped me to be neither distracted or focused, rigid or flexible, passive or aggressive. I learned to just be.” ·       George's big break was coming on the heels of the Lakers' third NBA championship in a row when coach Phil Jackson asked George to help the team deal with the stress and pressure brought on by their success. ·       90% of long term happiness is dependent upon how the brain interprets our experience. ·       One of the distinguishing characteristics of the best athletes in the world is they're very coachable.  They are lifelong learners, always looking to get an edge.  ·       If you want to be in flow, you have to have a fully integrated self. Your body, your mind, your heart, and your soul have to be in unison and harmony.   Notes: George Mumford website Book: Unlocked: Embrace Your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success Book: The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance

Perhaps nobody is better at helping people unlock themselves than the Buddhist meditation teacher George Mumford who taught meditation to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. He's also worked with inmates, police officers, and corporate executives. There's a reason why they call him the “Performance Whisperer.”George has an incredible story: he began teaching mindfulness and meditation after kicking a serious drug habit, leaving a career as a financial analyst, and then earning a master's in counseling psychology. He's got a new book, it's called Unlock: Embrace Your Greatness. Find the Flow. Discover Success. His first book was called The Mindful Athlete: The Secret to Pure Performance. If you want to hear him talk about that book, we've put links in the show notes to his prior appearances on this podcast. In this episode we talk about:What it means to be in flow and why many of us may be achieving that state more than we thinkHow to challenge negative self-talkThe importance of gratitudeThe importance of serviceThe importance of making mistakes (as George says, “no struggle, no swag”)How to recognize what he calls your hideouts Why he identifies as an empath and why he believes this may have played a role in his addictionAnd George's take on often misunderstood terms such as love, hope, and faithFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/george-mumford-589 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

George Mumford | In the Eye of the Hurricane  “When you get rid of noise and clutter, nothing's there. But because nothing's there, there could be anything there.” — George Mumford   This week I chatted with George Mumford, renowned teacher and coach on mindfulness and performance. George has worked with such athletes as Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and many other elite athletes and executives. Mumford is the author of The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance.   In our talk George explains why his company is called "Eye of the Hurricane." He strives to teach people about that still center in themselves, just as in the middle of a hurricane there is a quiet, still point. Mindfulness, George explains, can be the tool that gets us there. However, mindfulness must be guided by wisdom, love, faith and trust. Mindfulness can help guide us to create that pause we need between stimulus and response. Just being able to stop and become aware is immensely valuable. If you struggle with anger, a good first step is becoming aware of what triggers you. Then, he says, try to get intimate with it. Observe what happens to you, and try to learn from it. Whatever you do, George teaches, be fully engaged with the present moment.    George reads a book a week, and often re-reads books in order to learn from them at a deeper level. For the same reason George offers programs where students are encouraged to become lifelong learners, returning again and again to the material from different perspectives and in different contexts. In our talk, he referenced Kierkegaard, Socrates, and Erich Fromm, among others. George integrates all he learns to teach others how to not just survive, but thrive, and encourages us all to be authentically who we are.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you'll also learn: How going slower will get you where you want to go quicker  How knowing your core values will help you with your practice What the "superpowers" are and why you need them  How to deal with anxiety in today's world  What Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan learned from George Mumford Why his teachings are not just for athletes    Why trying too hard can be counter-productive What flow is and how to harness it What it means to have an empty mind    Connect with George Mumford   Website www.georgemumford.com   Facebook www.facebook.com/mindfulathlete   Twitter @gtmumford   LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/george-mumford   Instagram  @george.mumford   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfAqkXr3IpLgiNw88 qjLKtA   Learn More from George Mumford www.georgemumford.com/the-mindful-athlete-course   Sign up for the 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat!

What does it mean to be a mindful athlete, in sport and life? How do you cultivate mindfulness as an athletic superpower to respond and perform more effectively? In today's episode of Your Life in Process, Diana and globally recognized speaker, teacher, and coach, George Mumford, discuss sport as a metaphor for life and how to employ spiritual superpowers to step up your inner game.  About George MumfordGeorge Mumford is a globally recognized speaker, teacher, and coach. Since 1989, he's been honing his gentle, but groundbreaking mindfulness techniques with people from locker rooms to boardrooms, Yale to jail.  Michael Jordan credits George with transforming his on-court leadership, helping the Bulls to six NBA championships, while Mumford has also worked with Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and countless other NBA players, Olympians, executives, and artists. Mumford's book The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance is both a memoir and instruction guide. He believes everyone has a masterpiece within, which he can show you how to access.  While at the University of Massachusetts – where he roomed with future Hall-of-Famer Julius Erving – injuries forced Mumford out of basketball and eventually into an addiction to pain medication and drugs. With the help of meditation and mindfulness, he got clean and made it his mission to teach and work with others.  Key TakeawaysMindfulness is an active skill that you can cultivate to respond more effectively to the world around you, which enhances your life and your sports performance.  Acceptance of physical discomfort without creating a story about the feeling can be a key piece to the spiritual superpower of willingness and surrender. Deepen your superpowers for life by practicing being present, focusing your mind, knowing yourself, and acting with right effort. Slowing down is a radical act of courage in our fast-paced world.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. A mention for interest in EV's increasing because of gas price spikes in some parts of the U.S. and even shortages. It's interesting but a plea to fellow EV owners now is not the time for teasing or being smug. It's unhelpful to those desperate for fuel to live their lives. BIDEN TO VISIT FORD EV FACILITY IN MICHIGAN NEXT TUESDAY"U.S. President Joe Biden plans to visit a Ford Motor (F.N) electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Michigan next week as he makes a push for a $174 billion government boost for electric vehicles and charging stations." reports Reuters https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-visit-ford-ev-facility-michigan-next-tuesday-2021-05-11/ EVE BATTERY DEAL WITH TESLA DENIED"EVE Energy Co., which makes lithium iron phosphate batteries, said a Reuters report that it’s in supply deal talks with Tesla Inc. is “unfounded.” The company didn’t have any business communications with Tesla over the batteries, it said in a statement posted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange website on Sunday, Bloomberg reported." and reported by Automotive News Europe: "In the initial report, released Friday, Reuters said Tesla was in talks to add the Chinese battery maker to its Shanghai factory supply chain, citing four people familiar with the matter. EVE makes lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are cheaper to produce because they use iron instead of more expensive nickel and cobalt. But LFP batteries generally offer a shorter range on a single charge than the more popular nickel/cobalt alternative. EVE would become the second supplier of LFP batteries to Tesla after China's Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., or CATL, Reuters reported." https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/eve-denies-battery-supply-deal-tesla FORD FOLLOWS TESLA INTO IN-CAR GAMING"Ford says it is starting to send out in-car gaming with over-the-internet software updates to some of its newer models as the auto giant moves to offer technology to match electric car maker Tesla. For now, the updates are only available to about 100,000 owners of 2021 model year F-150s, Mustang Mach-Es and the upcoming Bronco, but Ford plans to spread the tech across its entire lineup as models are updated. It plans to make 33 million vehicles with the capability by 2028." according to Fox Business: "Ford said there are about 80 different computers in its most sophisticated vehicles that control everything from the infotainment center to brakes and transmission shifts. Already, Ford sent out an update to fix a lighting issue that drained batteries. Among the next updates will be a new version of Amazon Alexa that allows vehicles to communicate with the home assistant without use of a smartphone. Ford also will roll out touchscreen drawing software and simple games for the Mach-E electric SUV. More than 6 million vehicles have the modems and collect vehicle data, but only those with the latest generation of electrical systems can get full over-the-internet updates. " Alex Purdy, director, business operations, enterprise connectivity, Ford Motor Company: "Software updates are common across billions of connected devices but not yet for vehicles. Ford Power-Up software updates will change that by quickly bringing it to millions of people. We’ve invested in more seamless technology so updates can happen while you’re sleeping – making your next ride a better experience." https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/ford-tesla-car-gaming-software-update-amazon-alexa TEXAS WANTS TO CHARGE EV OWNERS $400 IN ANNUAL FEES "The bill being discussed in the Texas state senate—Senate Bill 1728—would raise fees on electric vehicle (EV) owners as a way to make up for the gas tax they're not paying. The legislation would require an annual EV fee of between $190 and $240, an additional fee of over $150 for anyone who drives their EV more than 9000 miles a year, and an annual surcharge of $10 to fund a charging infrastructure advisory council." writes Car & Driver: "The state, which couches the fees in "equalization for road use consumption for alternatively fueled vehicles" terminology, said these fees would apply to approximately 300,000 vehicles and raise around $37.8 million for the State Highway Fund (SHF) in fiscal year 2022, climbing to $135,594,000 in fiscal year 2026. If passed, the bill would take effect on September 1, 2021. Instead of annual EV fees, which don't take actual road usage into account, Plug In America and other EV advocates support what are called road usage charge programs, or ways to charge people for the actual miles they drive each year, often factoring in the weight of the vehicle. Seven states are conducting road usage charge tests with help from the U.S. Department of Transportation." https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36442021/texas-electric-car-fee-considered/ ILLINOIS INTERSTATE SIGNS WILL DIRECT DRIVERS TO EV CHARGING STATIONS"Driving down the interstate will get a little easier for Illinois motorists using electric vehicles with new road signs pointing the way to EV charging stations. A Federal Highway Administration program will include seven Illinois interstate corridors in its new blue "Alternative Fuels Corridor" sign program, which will alert motorists to alternative forms of fueling stations, including EV charging stations." reports TheSouthern.com: " The Illinois Department of Transportation is rolling out its own blue sign program, which will place signs on exit ramps that will direct motorists to EV charging stations as well as nearby gas stations, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions." https://thesouthern.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/illinois-interstate-signs-will-direct-drivers-to-ev-charging-stations/ ITALY FINES GOOGLE FOR EXCLUDING THE ‘JUICEPASS' EV CHARGING APP FROM ANDROID AUTO"Italy's competition regulator has fined U.S. tech giant Google 102 million euros (US$123 million) for excluding an e-mobility app developed by energy company Enel from the U.S. tech giant's open Android platform. The fine was first reported by Reuters." according to FutureCar: "For the past two years, Google has not allowed Enel's JuicePass smartphone app to operate on Google's Android Auto app, which is designed as a simple, less distracting way to use Google's popular apps while driving, such as Maps, Play and Assistant.  Regulators in Italy have accused Google of curtailing use of the JuicePass app and favoring Google Maps, which also includes EV charging station locations for drivers. In a statement announcing the $123 million fine for "abuse of a dominant position", the regulator asked Google to make JuicePass available on Android Auto. JuicePass is owned by Enel's "e-solutions" subsidiary Enel X, which brought the case against Google." https://www.futurecar.com/4616/Italy-Fines-Google-for-Excluding-the-JuicePass-EV-Charging-App-From-Android-Auto UK: VOLKSWAGEN INTRODUCES ENTRY-LEVEL ID.4 WITH 52 KWH BATTERY"Volkswagen has introduced in the UK new entry-level versions of the ID.4 model, equipped with a smaller 52 kWh battery (usable capacity), compared to the initial 77 kWh battery (82 kWh total)." says InsideEVs: "There are two new powertrain versions with that battery: Pure - 109 kW (148 PS)/220 Nm and Pure Performance - 125 kW (170 PS)/310 Nm. Both are available with two new City or Style trim levels. Depending on the version, the WLTP range of the 52 kWh version is 211-213 miles (339-343 km)." "These latest trims fit below the existing ones in the ID.4 line-up, with the City Pure having the additional bonus of being eligible for the Government’s Plug-in Vehicle Grant, thus starting at an eye-catching £32,150 OTR (with PIVG deducted). The City Pure Performance is priced at £36,030, the Style Pure at £38,150 and the Style Pure Performance at £39,530 (all OTR, recommended prices)." https://insideevs.com/news/507153/uk-volkswagen-id4-52-kwh/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles POLESTAR UK OPENS MILTON KEYNES TEST DRIVE HUBPolestar UK has opened a new test drive hub to meet demand. The 8,000 sq ft location, situated in Milton Keynes, will offer over 7,000 consumers the opportunity to experience the Polestar 2 in a curated and personalised way before the end of the year.

Eli Bremer is simply amazing. As a modern pentathlete, he fences, swims, rides a horse, runs, and shoots all in a single day’s competition. He’s also the captain of the Shaklee Pure Performance Team. It’s hard to believe that this top-ranking athlete went from being an overweight kid with limited athletic ability to competing among the world’s best in the Beijing Games in 2008.For Eli, it’s about setting goals and having something to work toward. “Waking up every morning, knowing that you’re going to represent your country is pretty motivating,” he says.You will be inspired as you listen to his journey and how being fatigued and left to wonder if you could make it to the Olympics to compete, he found the power of health and wellness and nutrition to be the key. And not only any nutrition but the power of Shaklee products. Safe , tested and backed by science, Shaklee products continue to fuel athletes like Eli, the Olympics athletes who have decided to partner with Shaklee on the Pure Performance team  and folks like you and me. You will love hearing what my sons Air Force recruiter said about protein to him. You will be inspired to not take what you eat and drink for granted. And I encourage you to take five minutes to do this assessment and find what nutrients from Shaklee can truly help you perform at your best. =====================Like this podcast ?

Today I will share with you a conversation with Andreas Grabner, or Andi as we all know him. From Austria, he has more than 20 years of experience in the field, always sharing his knowledge about performance engineering, especially through his podcast called Pure Performance. He is a frequent speaker at technology conferences, I think I’ve met him in every conference related to performance, in different countries. During the interview we talked about why performance engineering is so enjoyable, also, we visited some basic concepts related to performance testing in Continuous Delivery, because I wanted to talk about Keptn, the open source project that Andi has been working on during the last couple of years. I really admire how Andi can explain a lot of very complex concepts easily. Without further ado, let’s listen to the full interview. Enjoy!

Deirdre Breakenridge, CEO of Pure Performance Communications, has created the FEEL First Test to help leaders ignite their engagement. It begs them to ask questions about facing their fears, communicating with empathy, using ethics and good judgment, their love for their mission. But how exactly can the FEEL First approach help businesses improve their outreach and how effective is it? On this episode of Inspired Insider, Dr. Jeremy Weisz talks with Pure Performance Communications CEO, Deirdre Breakenridge, about the FEEL First Test and how people can transform the way they communicate and connect with others.

In this episode of season 4 I welcome Marcel Daane. I am super excited to welcome Marcel as he has been prominent on my social media feeds for a long time. I admire the work he does as an executive and leadership coach, and his concept about body mind connection in a business world.   Marcel and I actually recorded a live video cast and this podcast is a transcript of it - the audio form essentially. A fascinating conversation about mind body leadership, how we learn and how executives can get unstuck.   Being a leadership coach myself, working with teams to improve mental health, mindfulness and well being, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to speak with Marcel and learn from the best.   As a form of an intro, Marcel suffered with a mental illness that almost cost his life as a young adult. However, through Martial Arts, Mindfulness and Selflessness, he overcame his struggles and learned how to thrive despite his challenges.   30 years on, and Marcel is an award winning executive coach with a Masters Degree in Neuroscience and Leadership, author of the highly acclaimed book 'Headstrong Performance’, and he is considered one of the world’s pioneers in Mind-Body Leadership.   Now if he doesn’t work, he spends time with his wife and daughter.   Below are bullet points of the topics we cover in the podcast and links to Marcel’s work. How mindfulness makes you more resilient Marcel’s journey of becoming an award winning executive coach Why and how Marcel looks different at the world Marcel’s upbringing and how it influenced his path in life His drive to make people better and add value to society  Bruce Lee’s influence and martial arts The change of the work environment, hustling all day vs. resting and recuperating and being able to perform better His research during his Masters in Neuroscience about energy capacity in the brain Marcel’s book addresses those issues: Headstrong Performance: Improve Your Mental Performance With Nutrition, Exercise, and Neuroscience  Work Life Balance, Life Life Balance, and how Covid19 is teaching us how we should be structuring our balance Life in silos Struggles of executives around their identity and how we overvalue work vs. who we are as a human being As a graduate we worry about who we become; later in our career we worry about who we are Teaching your children (how) to ask questions Dealing with layoffs and redundancies Questioning and finding your value and purpose Influence of historic events on our upbringing, decision making and how we define work, and how this is changing with the younger generation and Covid19 The age of boosterism  How to become more resilient How children improve resilience through sports Children’s stress level going up, beyond working adults’ levels How we learn now vs. when we were a child Mindfulness isn’t the answer to everything but a tool that will help us alongside other tools Different stages of learning, and how this impacts leadership and decision making Our map of the world Communicating with body language and energy Loss of gut feeling and intuition Importance of listening, and how mindfulness and body-mind connection can help Mindfulness giving you a power of choice when applying to every part of life George Mumford’s book the Mindful Athlete, and Victor Frankl’s Stimulus and Response theory Separating Ying from Young, Action from Inaction Getting unstuck as a leader - default operating mode  Creating a place of curiosity to improve knowledge and innovation Links: Website: www.marceldaane.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marceldaane Book: Headstrong Performance: Improve Your Mental Performance With Nutrition, Exercise, and Neuroscience  Book: George Mumford, The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance  ---- Volker is a career and leadership coach, and also works as a sales and strategy consultant.

This week we welcome Mike Sirani to the show to talk about his experience as a young trainer going from doing internships to opening and growing his own facility, how he’s dealing with the COVID situation, and how to avoid overcoaching.  Mike currently owns a fitness facility in upstate New York called Capital District Sport and Fitness, which he opened in June of 2018. Prior to that, he lived in Boston for 7 years having graduated from Springfield University located in western Massachusetts, later interning at Cressey Sports Performance and then working at Pure Performance Training for 4 years.  We first dive into how Mike went from interning and working at different facilities to eventually opening up his own and some of the lessons he’s learned since. While many people get swayed by programming and periodization, Mike says that those are only 5% of running a training business. The rest is understanding finances, sales, and relationship building, which he learned early on at his previous internships and employer. He mentions that at Cressey’s, he learned how to coach lots of different people from all walks of life - from elite athletes to weekend warriors and everyone in between and how to flow seamlessly between the different populations. Whereas at Pure Performance, he was responsible for building his own client roster and had to use the skill set he had learned up to that point in order to survive.  This leads us into the resources that Mike used once he decided that he was going to open up his own facility. He had a lot of confidence built up from his prior years of experience and credits Mike Reinold for mentoring him early on in the process. Knowing that going about starting from scratch over 3 hours away from where he had built up his clientele was going to be a difficult process if he stayed solo, Mike ended up partnering with Dan Jones who had a local client base. This allowed them to gain traction early on and use their networking skills to build the business.  Next we discuss the structure of Capital District, which is primarily semi private with 2 adult group sessions per day. Prior to COVID-19 they maintained a 5:1 client to coach ratio in an open floor setting, with 2 coaches on hand in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. However, in the midst of COVID and being located in New York where outdoor training is allowed, they have been training clients in the parking lot under a tent, working with 5 people per hour while maintaining social distancing. While there have been many challenges presented in the last 6 months, Mike mentions that the change has actually allowed the coaching to be much smoother with fewer clients occupying the space at any given time.  We then transition into some of the lessons that Mike has learned along the way since opening up his own business. While there are always going to be unexpected expenses or problems that arise, the main thing that Mike has relied on to keep moving in a forward direction is having structure and setting up his business so that it would be sustainable over the long term. When it comes to assembling his team, he is looking for individuals who have a flexible personality and the willingness to learn the X’s and O’s. While programming is important, it’s just a small part of running a training business and it’s the intangibles that Mike is looking for from his coaches.  When asked about programming and what’s changed over the last several years, Mike still uses many of the principles from the various schools of practice but has aimed to make everything simpler. In particular, he uses far fewer “correctives” than he had in the past and instead tries to bake them into the cake of his training programs once someone understands the basics of how to move. Besides just simply getting the client off the floor and actually training, Mike wants to progress people so that he can start to build relationships instead of talking about...

My guest for Life on Purpose Episode #90 is speaker, mindfulness and performance coach, and author George Mumford, a.k.a. The Mindfulness Performance Whisperer. George is a highly acclaimed expert in sports psychology and performance and NBA Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson’s ‘Secret Weapon’ to winning eight NBA Championships. George’s passion is teaching mindfulness to high profile sports, business and academic teams alike; from the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks (he taught Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and many other pro athletes), to senior global executives and systems. He is the author of The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance In our Life on Purpose chat, we discussed mindfulness itself and what that means; how we can all deal with all the uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic; holding hurt and hope simultaneously; his own inspirational life journey from being one of 13 kids growing up in the rough parts of Boston to heroine addiction to recovery and decades of teaching and speaking about mindfulness; The Last Dance (the new ESPN documentary on Michael Jordan and the Bulls for which he was interviewed); the importance of a practice; the Cherokee tale of the two wolves; his Five Spiritual Superpowers; the concept of a Masterpiece Within each of us; and so much more! About George: Michael Jordan credits George Mumford with transforming his on-court leadership of the Bulls, helping Jordan lead the team to six NBA championships. Mumford also helped Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Lamar Odom and countless other NBA players turn around their games. A widely respected public speaker and coach, Mumford is sharing his own story and the strategies that have made these athletes into stars in The Mindful Athlete: The Secret to Pure Performance. His proven, gentle but groundbreaking mindfulness techniques can transform the performance of anyone with a goal, be they an Olympian, weekend warrior, executive, hacker, or artist. With a charismatic teaching style that combines mindfulness techniques with lessons from pop culture icons such as Yoda, Indiana Jones, and Bruce Lee, Mumford tells illuminating stories about his larger than life clients. His writing is down-to-earth and easy to understand. The Mindful Athlete is an engrossing story and an invaluable resource for anyone looking to elevate their game, no matter the pursuit. ###

Former professional golfer, Thane Marcus Ringler, joins the podcast to discuss the path to the perfect swing. The system he developed on that path applies for mastery in any endeavor.   It's super boring. It's super unsexy. It's not fun, but you do it. You do the work because you know it produces results. The best performers, the best of anything... they find beauty in the process. Enjoying the mundane and they're able to do it over and over and over again because of it. And that is what produces the results. Thane Marcus Ringler   Who is Thane Marcus Ringler?   Thane Marcus Ringler is a former pro golfer turned writer, speaker, coach, and entrepreneur living in Los Angeles, CA.
