In This Episode: Discipline isn't about punishment; it's about teaching children positive habits and self-reliance out of love. In this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt share three key action items to help parents and guardians raise well-adjusted, successful children. Drawing on their decades of experience working with kids, they emphasize that these principles are not only for parents but also for anyone in a leadership role. Action Item 1: Establish Clear Expectations and Consistent Routines Children thrive on structure. The hosts explain that a routine is like a roadmap that provides security and reduces resistance. They encourage parents to create a visual schedule for kids, making expectations clear and manageable. This is especially effective when tasks are broken down into smaller, actionable steps. They stress that consistency is vital; routines should be followed regularly to become a natural part of a child's life. By involving children in the creation of their routines, parents can gain buy-in and help kids feel a sense of ownership. Action Item 2: Teach Problem-Solving and Natural Consequences The hosts advise against being an enabler. Instead of rushing to "fix" every problem for a child, they suggest allowing them to experience natural consequences (when safe). For example, if a child forgets their jacket, they'll feel cold, which is a powerful lesson. This approach teaches responsibility and shows children that their actions have direct results. The hosts also recommend asking open-ended questions to guide children toward solving their own problems, rather than simply telling them what to do. This helps them develop crucial self-reliance and critical thinking skills.   Action Item 3: Model the Behavior You Want to See Children are highly observant and learn more from what their parents do than what they say. The final, and perhaps most important, step is to model the discipline and self-control you want to instill in your kids. If a parent constantly flies off the handle or handles conflict with anger, their children are likely to adopt similar behaviors. The hosts highlight that children are not their parents' friends and shouldn't be a receptacle for adult problems. By being a stable, respectful, and responsible role model, you create a safe environment and teach your children what it means to be a well-adjusted adult.

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt explain that the biggest obstacle to success isn't a lack of knowledge, but a lack of action. They present three practical strategies to help listeners close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. 1. Shrink Your Starting Line The hosts suggest overcoming overwhelming goals by focusing on the immediate, smaller steps. They use the analogy of running a long distance, where instead of thinking about the entire route, you focus on reaching the next landmark. This concept is embodied in the "two-minute rule," which encourages you to commit to a task for just two minutes. This small action builds momentum, reduces procrastination, and often leads to doing more than you initially planned. 2. Engineer Your Environment Your surroundings can either support or sabotage your goals. The hosts advise setting up your environment for success by removing distractions (like phone notifications or open computer tabs) and ensuring you have what you need to succeed. They use the example of a morning workout: laying out your clothes and sneakers the night before removes potential barriers and makes it easier to follow through on your plans. 3. Leverage Accountability and Consequences Finally, the hosts discuss the power of accountability. They explain that a consequence isn't always a punishment; it can be a positive or negative result that motivates you. By involving an accountability partner, you create a social consequence where you don't want to let someone down. They also suggest using a simple visual system, like a calendar or a hash mark on a wall, to track your progress. This "gamification" of your goals helps you stay consistent, as small, consistent actions are the key to long-term achievement.

Why are elephants dying slow deaths from starvation in African parks? Can contraceptives really solve wildlife overpopulation in fenced reserves? What happens when international animal rights organisations influence conservation decisions from thousands of miles away? These are the uncomfortable questions at the heart of one of conservation's most contentious debates.Ryan Davy spent 30 years working in African conservation, starting as a 16-year-old volunteer in KwaZulu-Natal's remote game reserves. From those early days confronting poachers and negotiating with local communities, he witnessed firsthand how conservation policies play out on the ground. Now, as a wildlife filmmaker who has worked for National Geographic and Discovery, Ryan brings a unique perspective to the elephant culling debate through his upcoming documentary "The Culling Conundrum." His journey from animal rights supporter to someone advocating for population control reflects the complexity many conservationists face when confronted with ecological realities.Our conversation explores the practical impossibilities of alternative solutions to overpopulation. Ryan walks through a hypothetical game where listeners manage their own 75,000-hectare reserve, facing the stark choice between letting animals starve or making difficult management decisions. We examine the failed elephant translocation in Malawi, where 12 people died and 80 elephants went missing after an international organisation moved 262 elephants into unsuitable habitat. The discussion also covers the influence of well-funded animal rights campaigns on conservation policy, the disconnect between international activism and local realities, and the economic pressures facing private game reserves. Ryan argues for finding common ground between opposing camps, emphasising that sustainable conservation requires honest dialogue about uncomfortable topics rather than ideology-driven positions.Further reading:The Culling Conundrum | Official TeaserClockwork OrangeRyan's YouTube ChannelSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: n this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt debunk the "productivity myth," arguing that a long to-do list is not a sign of success. Instead, true productivity is about focusing on the right things and working smarter, not just longer. They outline a three-step approach to help listeners manage their time effectively and achieve meaningful results. Step 1: Embrace the 80/20 Rule The hosts introduce the 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle), which states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. They emphasize the importance of identifying the few key activities that truly move the needle, rather than trying to complete every task on a list. By focusing on these high-impact tasks, you can make significant progress without being constantly "busy." Step 2: Utilize the Time Matrix Drawing on the work of Stephen Covey, they break down tasks into four quadrants: Urgent and Important: This is "firefighting" mode, and while necessary, staying here leads to burnout. Not Urgent and Not Important: This is time-wasting and should be minimized. Urgent and Not Important: This is where "busy work" and other people's priorities often fall, pulling you away from your own goals. Important and Not Urgent: This is the most crucial quadrant for long-term success. It includes planning, strategic thinking, and self-care. The hosts advise listeners to spend the majority of their time on these proactive activities to prevent future crises.   Step 3: Differentiate Between Deep Work and Shallow Work The final step is to distinguish between deep work (focused, high-concentration tasks) and shallow work (multitasking, less demanding activities). They stress the importance of scheduling time for deep work—the type of focused effort that moves you toward your goals. This means dedicating specific time blocks to important tasks without distractions, even if it's just for a short period each day. By understanding your own energy rhythm, you can schedule deep work for your most productive hours, ensuring you're making a worthwhile investment of your time   ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions: 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

In this Episode: In an episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt share three steps to help listeners overcome self-doubt and accomplish their goals. They focus on conquering the small, day-to-day "can'ts" that often hold people back and derail their progress. Step 1: Reframe Your Thoughts and Language The hosts emphasize the importance of changing your internal monologue. Instead of focusing on why you "can't" do something, they encourage you to ask what evidence you have that you can't. They suggest replacing "I can't" with "I haven't yet," which shifts the mindset from impossibility to a future goal. This change in language, though it may sound simple, is crucial for turning a problem into a challenge. Step 2: Break Down Your Challenge The hosts advise breaking down large, overwhelming goals into smaller, more manageable steps. They use the example of a podcast. Starting a podcast may sound complicated, but the first step is simply to record for 15 minutes. This approach helps build momentum and makes a daunting task feel achievable. The idea is to take one small action today, which will eventually lead to bigger results. Step 3: Seek Inspiration The final step is to find inspiration from others who have overcome similar challenges. The hosts mention the story of Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile as an example of a mental barrier being shattered. They recommend reading biographies and autobiographies, listening to podcasts, and finding people who have already achieved what you want to do. Additionally, they suggest you don't skip the foundational steps when learning something new, even if they seem basic. Mastering these fundamentals is essential for long-term success.   ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions: 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

Can beavers save Britain's dying rivers? Are these ecosystem engineers the key to reversing the catastrophic decline of Atlantic salmon, or do their dams create impassable barriers for struggling fish populations? With salmon numbers plummeting by 70% in just 20 years and predictions they could vanish entirely within two decades, the stakes couldn't be higher. The reintroduction of beavers to British waterways has sparked heated debate about their impact on our most threatened migratory species.In this episode, our guest is Dr Rob Needham, and we talk about his research from Scotland. Rob's long-term study reveals how beaver-modified streams support larger, healthier trout populations, with tagged fish successfully navigating multiple beaver dam crossings. We also talk about research from Norway, and North America that's providing crucial insights for British conservation efforts. For example Rachel Malison's work in Norway demonstrates that beavers and salmon coexist successfully for past decades on some of the world's most productive salmon rivers. The evidence suggests these species co-evolved together and co-existed for millennia, creating complex ecosystems that benefit both.From the western United States, Bridge Creek's remarkable restoration story demonstrates nature's incredible capacity for self-repair, with 200% increases in fish abundance following beaver reintroduction. Meanwhile, cutting-edge environmental DNA research is mapping salmon and beaver (and other species) distribution across Scottish catchments, showing how ecosystems can recover. As climate change intensifies pressure on freshwater habitats, the ecosystem engineering by beavers offers hope for building resilient river systems. The message is clear: collaboration between conservationists, researchers, and local communities is essential if we're to harness beavers' restorative power while protecting our precious migratory fish.Further reading:The impact of reintroduced Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) dams on the upstream movement of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in upland areas of Great BritainBalance The Scales - Launch TrailerSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the critical role mistakes play in personal and professional growth. They explore the common reasons people make mistakes, from being on autopilot and self-sabotage to a lack of knowledge or an overinflated ego. The hosts argue that consistently making the same mistakes is a sign of a deeper issue, but making new mistakes is a sign of progress, as you are entering unknown territory. The podcast provides a three-step framework for effectively handling mistakes and using them as a tool for growth: 1. Own It Fast, Don't Fumble It The first and most crucial step is to take immediate ownership of the mistake. This means acknowledging what went wrong with complete honesty, both to yourself and others. The hosts emphasize avoiding excuses or blaming others, as this only makes the problem worse. By owning the mistake, you regain control, stop the emotional spiral, and gain the clarity needed to understand what happened. This step is about facing the issue directly without letting your ego get in the way. 2. Flip the Failure into Feedback Once you've owned the mistake, the next step is to transform it into a learning opportunity. The hosts advise listeners to ask, "What is this here to teach me?" They suggest objectively analyzing the mistake to identify its root cause. Was it due to a lack of planning, a skill gap, or simply rushing through the process? By pinpointing the cause, you can turn a negative experience into actionable feedback. This is about using the mistake as a steppingstone for future success. 3. Make a Comeback Plan The final step is to move from learning to action. The hosts stress that a comeback plan is not just about "trying again" but about strategic follow-through. Based on the feedback you gathered, you must define the next bold step and commit to it. This involves scheduling the action, putting it on your calendar, and following through. The hosts highlight that a mistake is not a dead end but part of a continuous loop of growth: you fix one mistake, learn from it, and then find another one to tackle as you continue to progress.

This week we talk about flesh-eating screwworms, weeds, and the US cattle industry.We also discuss genetic modification, procreation, and tsetse flies.Recommended Book: 1177 BC by Eric H ClineTranscriptThe term ‘autocidal control‘ refers to a collection of techniques that are meant to control populations of some type of living thing, animal or plant, by disrupting their procreationary capacity.So rather than attempting to control pest by spraying poisons all over the place, or controlling plants you consider to be invasive weeds by launching huge weed-pulling efforts in the afflicted areas, you might instead figure out how to keep this current generation of pests and weeds from having as many offspring as they might otherwise have, and then repeat the process with the next generation, and the next, and so on, until the unwanted species is either eradicated in the relevant region, or reduced to such a small number that its presence is no longer such a big deal.There are all kinds of approaches one might take in trying to achieve this sort of outcome.Experimental genetic modification measures, for instance, have been tried in, so far at least, limited ways, the idea being to either make the disliked species less competitive in some way (by making them slower, and thus more likely to be eaten by predators, maybe), or by making them less likely to have offspring, or less likely to have fit offspring—the next generation becomes super slow and clumsy, or they're carriers of a gene that keeps them from procreating as much, or at all.That approach seems like it could be effective, and there are quite a few efforts, globally, that're working to refine and perfect it with mosquito species in particular, specifically the ones that are carriers of malaria-causing parasites and similar maladies that cause immense harm to local human (and other mammal) populations.There have also been attempts to spray mating grounds with pheromones that disrupt mating behavior, or to use what's called the Autodissemination Augmented by Males, or ADAM approach, which has been used to decent effect in some trials, and which involves basically just sprinkling a bunch of male mosquitos with pesticide, releasing them into mosquito mating grounds, and then having them deliver those pesticides to the females they mate with.All of these efforts are meant to reduce populations via some procreationary mechanism, while also attempting to ameliorate some of the other issues associated with other, widely used pest- and weed-control approaches. Most of which rely on some kind of chemical being introduced into the right environment, that chemical helping to kill or disrupt these populations, but in many cases also leading to unwanted, and often initially unforeseen side effects, like those chemicals messing with other species, getting into the groundwater and possibly being associated with maladies in humans, and so on.What I'd like to talk about today is another approach, the sterile insect technique, why it's become so popular in recent decades, and how it's being used, today, to address a burgeoning population of a pest that was previously eliminated in North America using this technique, but which has recently become a problem, once more.—The New World screwworm fly is thus named because its larvae, its baby offspring, are planted in warm-blooded animals. These offspring eat not just dead tissues, like the maggots of other flies, but healthy tissues as well.These maggots are often deposited near wounds, like cuts or scrapes, but also injuries caused by the castration or dehorning of cattle, or orifices and other sensitive areas with soft tissue, like the corner of a host's eye.They don't typically infest humans, but it does happen, and they're most likely to be found on wild and domesticated mammals, the females of the species depositing somewhere between 250 and 500 eggs in the flesh of their hosts, the maggots screwing their way deeper into their host's flesh as they grow, burrowing and eating for the next three to seven days, at which point they fall off and enter the next stage of their lifecycle. By that point the host may already be dead, depending on the extent of the damage these things manage to cause in the interim.These flies were originally found across the Americas and on some Caribbean islands, and they have long been a headache for cattle ranchers in particular, as they will sometimes infect one cow or goat, and then work their way through the entire herd in relatively short order, causing enough damage to seriously injure or kill a whole lot of the rancher's stock.As a result, humans have been trying to get rid of these things for ages, but nothing seemed to make much of a dent in their populations until the emergence of what's called the sterile insect technique, which is exactly what it sounds like: a method of autocidal control that involves sterilizing members of the species, usually the males, and then releasing them back into the population.Variations on this concept were developed by a few different researchers in a few different places around the world in the lead-up to WWII, but just after that conflict, scientists working at the US Department of Agriculture realized that they could use x-rays to reliably sterilize male screwworm flies, and that if they did this to a large number of them, then released those males into the local population of screwworm flies, to the point where there are more sterilized males than non-sterilized ones, that would serve to dramatically reduce the size of the next generation. If you then repeat this over and over again, you can eventually wipe out the species in a given region, as they successfully showed in the early 1950s by eradicating all the screwworms on Sanibel Island in Florida.The same technique was then used to kill all the screwworms on the island of Curacao, off the coast of Venezuela—that kill-off achieved in just seven weeks. Over the next few decades, sterilized male flies were then released across other afflicted US states, and both Mexico and Belize were able to kill all their screwworms in the 1980s, followed by Central America in the 1990s.This approach was also applied to other pests, almost always those that either spread disease to humans, or threatened local industries, like cattle or agricultural industries.For instance, tsetse flies, carriers of a parasite that causes sleeping sickness, were entirely or almost entirely eradicated from Tanzania, Zanzibar, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Uganda between the 1940s and late-1990s, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the carriers of dengue and yellow fever, were sterilized by a bacteria called Wolbachia in Queensland, Australia, in the late-20-teens, which reduced the populations of this disease-carrier in trial areas by 80%, and Japan eradicated the melon fly, an agricultural pest, in 1993.This approach to pest-control has become so popular that dozens of facilities have been set up in countries around the world, exclusively to breed and sterilize different species, which can then be shipped to where they will be released. The first of these facilities was built in Mexico in the 1960s, where Mexican fruit flies were bred and then shipped for release in Texas.It's maybe fitting then that a new round of construction is happening, today, intending to combat the renewed presence of screwworms in Mexico, which have been making their way up into Texas via these two nations' cattle industries.The US Department of Agriculture recently announced that it will be building a sterile screwworm fly facility in Texas, which has suffered due to the US's recent decisions to halt the import of cattle from across the border in Mexico due to issues with screwworms hitching a ride on that cattle stock, and thus infiltrating US herds. The government tried several times to drop this cessation of imports, as the US cattle industry is pretty reliant on those imports, but each time they tried, new screwworm infestations were found, and the import halt was put back into place.US cattle populations are already at their lowest level in decades, and that's impacting meat and dairy prices, while also putting other warm-blooded animals in the afflicted regions, especially Texas, at risk.The folks behind the new facility have said they hope to be up and running in relatively short order, aiming to be releasing sterile male New World screwworms into the wild within a year. This deployment will operate in tandem with other, more direct efforts, like fly traps and parasite-sniffing dogs stationed at ports of entry.The concerns here are not just theoretical: screwworms alone cause an estimated $1.5 billion in damage each year, and the cost of implementing a sterilization program of this kind usually adds up to something like a billion dollars, spread across decades; not a bad return on investment.These programs are not universally effective, though, as in some rare cases non-irradiated males have accidentally been shipped to their intended mating location, temporarily inflating rather than deflating population numbers. And while these programs are relatively cheap to operate on scale, the cost of producing enough sterilized males to make such an effort effective can be prohibitive when aimed at smaller regions, or when attempted by governments or agencies without the budget to see what can sometimes be a long-term project through.That said, this approach does seem to work very well when done correctly, and while its ecosystem impact is not zero, as, for instance, predators who eat these pests might suddenly find themselves without one of their staple food sources, which can lead to knock-on effects across the food web, it does seem to be one of the least foodweb ripple-producing approaches, as genetic modifications can theoretically lead to far more elaborate unforeseen consequences, and the widespread spraying of chemicals has semi-regularly led to die-offs and maladies in other local species, in addition to sometimes causing long-term, even fatal health problems for humans who rely on local food or water sources.Show Noteshttps://archive.is/20250815192422/https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/usda-build-texas-facility-fight-flesh-eating-screwworms-2025-08-15/https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2025/08/how-to-stop-flesh-eating-parasite-from-devastating-us-cattle-government-will-breed-billions-of-flies.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/fly-factories-flesheating-parasite-cattle-texas-429ce91225bbab4a45c9040f1be356a5https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochliomyia_hominivoraxhttps://archive.is/14Rdkhttps://archive.is/afmt2https://archive.is/QfTvGhttps://archive.is/dxbcZhttps://www.oregonlive.com/business/2025/08/how-to-stop-flesh-eating-parasite-from-devastating-us-cattle-government-will-breed-billions-of-flies.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterile_insect_techniquehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sterile_insect_technique_trialshttps://web.archive.org/web/20210416164524/http://www-iswam.iaea.org/drd/refs_files/195_The-Area-wide-SIT-Screwworm.pdfhttps://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/sterile-insect-technique-used-to-suppress-mosquito-disease-vectors-in-floridahttps://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/mosquito-control/genetically-modified-mosquitoes.htmlhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-30722-9https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4313646/ This is a public episode.

In this Episode: This episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, is all about the power of preparation and planning. They argue that the common excuse "I don't have time to prepare" is a major cause of failure and frustration. Instead of wasting time on unfocused action, the hosts advocate for taking a few minutes to prepare, which ultimately leads to greater efficiency and success. The podcast outlines a three-step framework for embracing preparation to achieve "peak performance." Step 1: Anticipate Obstacles Before They Happen The hosts challenge the idea that anticipating problems is pessimistic. Instead, they frame it as a crucial part of a positive, proactive strategy. By creating a Plan B, C, or even D, you build confidence and resilience. This isn't about worrying; it's about being prepared for inevitable setbacks, whether it's a minor change to a class plan or a potential objection during a business meeting. This mindset ensures you're ready to adapt and won't be caught off guard. Step 2: Don't Get Bogged Down by Perfectionism The hosts identify perfectionism as a major killer of goals. They use the examples of a person not starting an exercise routine because they can't commit to three days a week, or an aspiring author who feels they don't have enough time. The key is to focus on progress, not perfection. They encourage listeners to take the "minimum viable action," such as writing just a title for a book, because "done is better than perfect." This approach helps overcome the inertia of starting and builds momentum over time. Step 3: Schedule Your Planning and Preparation Time This step emphasizes making planning a non-negotiable part of your routine. The hosts suggest scheduling time the night before to plan the next day, focusing on the "big rocks" or priorities that will move the needle. By intentionally blocking out time for your own goals (like exercise or personal development) first, you ensure they don't become an afterthought. This practice helps you stay in control of your life and avoid simply reacting to the demands of others.

Are corvids overabundant pests or are they simply survivors in landscapes we've shaped? Why do these birds seem to look at us as intently as we look at them? What can ravens teach us about intelligence that might humble our sophisticated intelligence tests? This episode explores the world of corvids, from the familiar rooks and jackdaws to the acrobatic choughs and elusive jays that call Ireland home.Dr Fionn Ó Marcaigh, author of "Encounters with Corvids," joins us to unpack the complex relationship between humans and these remarkable birds. We discuss their extraordinary intelligence, including studies showing ravens can remember and recognise individual humans, and how they've adapted to thrive alongside us while other species struggle. Fionn shares stories from his research and observations, revealing behaviours that demonstrate that these birds are always "up to something" when we encounter them in the wild.In our conversation, we tackle the thorny issue of predator control and conservation dilemmas. While corvids thrive in human-modified landscapes, ground-nesting birds face rapid declines. We also explore the mythology and folklore that has shaped our perceptions of these birds, from Celtic battle goddesses to Norse deities, and examine how cultural attitudes influence modern conservation challenges. This episode offers perspectives on living alongside intelligent wildlife in ever-changing landscapes, reminding us that sometimes the most familiar creatures hold great surprises.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: On this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the importance of treating your brain like a muscle and fueling it for success. They argue that many common struggles in life are not due to external "weights," but rather from internal mindsets and limiting beliefs. By proactively managing the mind, listeners can overcome recurring problems and achieve better results. The podcast outlines three key steps for "fueling your mind for success." 1. Curate What You Consume This step is about actively managing the information you take in. The hosts emphasize that what you read, watch, and listen to directly impacts your mindset. Instead of passively consuming news or social media, they suggest you "stand guard at the door of your mind." They recommend prioritizing content that is inspirational and educational, such as books or videos about your career or personal development, because most people do not take the time to do so. 2. Surround Yourself with Excellence Your environment—both the people and the physical space—greatly influences your habits and mindset. The hosts advise listeners to be mindful of who they spend their time with, just as a good parent is mindful of their children's friends. They suggest seeking out communities and groups where people are positive, supportive, and striving for improvement. Additionally, they touch on the importance of maintaining a clean and organized physical environment, as clutter can be a source of stress and distraction. 3. Conquer FUD (Fears, Uncertainties, and Doubts) The final step focuses on the internal work needed to combat negative self-talk. FUD often arises when facing new or challenging situations. The hosts break down how to handle each one: Fear: Ask yourself if the potential outcome is life-threatening or illegal. If not, the fear is likely rooted in embarrassment or failure, which are manageable. Uncertainty: Combat this with proper preparation. Doing the necessary work beforehand builds confidence and reduces uncertainty. Doubt: Overcome doubt by building a track record of small successes. Each win, no matter how small, reinforces your belief in your ability to accomplish more.

In this Episode: This episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, focuses on improving decision-making skills, whether for simple daily choices or complex life-altering ones. They emphasize that procrastination can kill momentum and hinder goals, highlighting the importance of making decisions quickly, even if it means failing faster and learning from the experience. The hosts delve into the concept of risk in decision-making, explaining that while you can manage and mitigate risk, you can never eliminate it. They caution against being too risk-averse, as a lack of growth can lead to stagnation, especially in business. They advocate for calculated risks and view failures as valuable learning opportunities. The podcast outlines three action steps to help listeners overcome decision paralysis and make better choices: Action Step 1: Set a Deadline (or Just Do It Now) The first crucial step is to decide on a timeline for when you will make your decision. For smaller, less impactful decisions, the hosts suggest simply making the choice immediately ("just do it"). For larger decisions, set a short, firm deadline and commit to it, perhaps even by communicating it to someone else. They emphasize that most people, like car buyers, procrastinate until the very last moment, and being honest about this tendency can help you make decisions more promptly. Action Step 2: Blend Intuition with Data This step focuses on combining your gut feelings (intuition) with factual information (data). The hosts explain that intuition can be considered a form of data, often developed through experience, and can be trained like a skill. However, they caution against relying solely on external data sources like the internet, which can provide conflicting information (e.g., "blueberries are healthy" vs. "blueberries are deadly"). Instead, they suggest using data to support and refine your initial gut feeling, rather than using it to determine what you should do from scratch. Action Step 3: Get Over the Fear of Making the Wrong Choice The final step is to conquer the fear of making a mistake. The hosts stress that there's rarely only one "right" answer, and most decisions, unless they involve severe consequences like death or prison, are simply part of your life's journey and learning process. They encourage listeners to embrace imperfect outcomes, learn from any "losses" or less-than-ideal results, and move forward. They differentiate between minor daily decisions (e.g., what to eat) and major life choices (e.g., choosing a spouse, buying a house), acknowledging that the latter warrant more thoughtful consideration and compromise. The podcast concludes by reiterating that every decision is a learning opportunity and encourages listeners to embrace a mindset of learning and growth, even from less-than-perfect outcomes.

Why are no trespassing signs appearing on Irish mountains that hikers have accessed for decades? Can walkers really sue farmers when they injure themselves on private land? What happens when busloads of tourists arrive at remote trailheads with no permission from landowners? Our guest John Smyth, a hiker with 20 years' experience in Connemara and volunteer with Mountain Meitheal Ireland, reveals how Ireland's hiking landscape has transformed from quiet trails to crowded mountains - and the growing tensions this creates.John witnessed this dramatic shift firsthand, from days when you could have entire mountain ranges to yourself to the current reality of overflowing car parks and commercial guides leading groups across private farmland without permission. The Wild Atlantic Way's success, social media promotion, and COVID-19's outdoor boom brought thousands of new hikers to mountains that remain privately owned. Unlike Britain's established rights of way, Irish hikers rely entirely on farmers' goodwill. That goodwill is wearing thin as fences get damaged and livestock are stressed by unleashed dogs.In our conversation, we explore practical solutions that are emerging to address this situation, including three-way partnerships between hiking clubs, Mountaineering Ireland, and Rural Recreation Officers aimed at building stiles and maintaining trails. We discuss liability concerns that keep farmers worried, the importance of proper hiking etiquette, and successful models like Kerry's collaborative approach to managing access. This episode offers essential insights into respecting the land and the people who own it for anyone who loves Ireland's mountains or is interested in land access.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt welcome back Barb Stone, an entrepreneur, leadership development coach, trainer, speaker, and now an author and TEDx speaker. They discuss Barb's journey since her last appearance on the podcast four years ago, highlighting her significant professional growth. Barb shares her background, starting with 25 years as a senior female leader in manufacturing after earning her MBA. Despite her success, she felt a desire for "more" than just climbing the corporate ladder. This led her to a journey of self-discovery, studying resiliency and positive psychology, getting involved with John Maxwell, and eventually becoming a leadership coach. She emphasizes that her motivation to become a coach stemmed from her own challenging journey as a first-generation American of Polish descent, wishing she had a guide earlier in her life. The conversation then shifts to Barb's new book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," which combines her coaching wisdom with her passion for Great Danes. She explains how the idea for the book was planted by a client in 2020 and how it evolved into a collection of inspirational stories, each accompanied by an illustration and a wisdom statement. Barb stresses the importance of following one's passion, even if the profitability isn't immediately clear, noting that the book is an investment in herself and a way to share her message. She believes that when you commit to your passion, opportunities will arise, such as speaking engagements and partnerships.  Barb also discusses her target audience for the book, stating it's for anyone from four to 104 years old who seeks inspiration or loves animals. She shares her experience visiting an elementary school to discuss social-emotional learning using her book, demonstrating its broad appeal. She emphasizes that the book's creation process itself, with its many iterations and challenges, mirrors the life lessons it teaches about growth and perseverance. A key takeaway from the discussion is Barb's belief in "leading ourselves first," and how life can "happen through us" when we share our wisdom and experiences to help others. She encourages listeners to "follow the breadcrumbs"—the small signs and opportunities that appear along one's path, especially for aspiring entrepreneurs. To find out more about Barb Stone and her book, listeners are directed to her website, Barbstone.me, where they can purchase the book, sign up for newsletters, and find links to her social media profiles. The hosts commend Barb for her bravery in pursuing her passions and putting her work out into the world Barb Stone Bio: Barbara Stone is a Syracuse, NY-based Entrepreneur, Author, Leadership Development Coach, Trainer, and Speaker, dedicated to empowering individuals to define and achieve their authentic version of success. Her journey is marked by resilience and a passion for helping others.  After a distinguished 25-year career in senior leadership roles within manufacturing, including Executive Vice President and CFO, Barb realized she was living someone else's definition of success. This led her to an intensive study of resilience and positive psychology, understanding that true opportunities are created, not accidental.  In 2018, Barb launched Build Your Path LLC. As a leadership development coach, she now passionately guides individuals, teams, and boards to discover their authentic selves and build a life that truly reflects who they are, challenging the notion that "looking good and getting it right" should lead to performance anxiety. Her personal journey, including overcoming challenges like alopecia and the unexpected loss of her first husband, Bob, has further deepened her commitment to resilience and personal growth.  Complementing her coaching and speaking, Barb is the author of her first book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," published in April of 2025.

In this Episode: The "Achieve Results Now" podcast, with hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, likens achieving your goals to using a GPS. They emphasize that just as a GPS helps you navigate, you can use a personal "GPS" system to reach any desired outcome in life. The hosts break down this analogy into three core components: 1. Set Your Destination (Clarity is Power) The first crucial step is to clearly define your destination. Many people know what they don't want but lack a specific vision of what they do want. Just like a GPS needs a precise address, your goals need to be crystal clear. Vague goals, like "going north," can lead you astray over time. The clearer your destination, the more accurately your personal GPS can guide you back on track when detours inevitably arise. Regularly reviewing and confirming your goals' relevance (e.g., every three months) ensures you're always heading in the right direction. 2. Pin Your Current Location (Be Honest About Where You Are) The second step involves honestly assessing your current position. This can be challenging as people often downplay or exaggerate their starting point. The hosts stress the importance of being objective about your present circumstances without judgment. Whether you're far from your goal or surprisingly close, this honest evaluation provides the necessary data for your "GPS" to calculate the correct route. They suggest asking a trusted friend or spouse for an objective opinion or even taking a self-assessment (like a fitness test) to get a true picture. 3. Set a Realistic ETA (Adjust, Don't Quit) Finally, you need to establish a realistic Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for your goal. The hosts joke about always trying to beat the GPS's estimated time, but they highlight that setting an unrealistic ETA can be demotivating if you fall short, while too easy an ETA provides no challenge. The key is to be realistic and understand that, like a GPS, your ETA will adjust due to unforeseen "traffic" or "detours" (life's obstacles). The most important takeaway is to never quit when faced with delays; simply reset the timeline, not the goal itself. Breaking down large goals into smaller "checkpoints" (like rest stops on a long drive) can help maintain motivation by allowing you to celebrate progress and see how far you've come. By applying these three GPS principles—setting a clear destination, honestly assessing your starting point, and setting a realistic yet adaptable timeline—you can effectively navigate your journey toward achieving any goal. What's one goal you're working on right now that could benefit from using this "GPS" approach?
