Well, not so much now with this Coronavirus pandemic going on. Athletes are like gods to some of us. We study their every move, on the field and off the field, in order to model ourselves and our games after them in the hopes that we too will some day rise to the ranks of their greatness. We idolize them for their athleticism, physicality, determination, grit, motivation and work ethic. But, what we rarely stop to think about is all the sacrifice, hard work, blood, sweat, tears and FAILURE that goes on behind the scenes that leads to their ultimate success. We view these athletes as superhuman creatures who are different than us and are immune to the daily struggles us of mere mortals... but nothing could be further from the truth. Join me as I sit down with Pierce Brooks--former basketball stud who had visions of playing in the NBA, scouts coming to his games, college coaches offering him scholarships as a high school freshman--as he opens up about going from feeling like he's on top of the basketball world to wanting nothing more than to put his career behind him. Pierce is an empowerment speaker giving practical solutions for people to find meaning and lessons from trauma. He has transformed his career experience at CPG Brands and sports entertainment firms into a foundation for helping people across the professional and personal spectrum.

092 The One About My TED Talk Experience Episode 92: Show Notes If you have listened to my end year shows, you know I am a goal setter.  I believe that if you challenge yourself to grow beyond your comfort level, you challenge yourself to grow, period.  I also believe that most people don’t challenge themselves to grow and by default they stay the same.  The brutal fact is if you are staying the same, others are going to pass you, so there is no staying the same, the same will actual move you backwards.  This year I decided I wanted to work on my public speaking skills.  Specifically, I wanted to do my first TED Talk.  For those of you that don’t know TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design.  Most of my speaking experience is with training.  I have never made up a narrative (story) and spoke on it before.  At the time of the release of this episode, I have not yet made it to the TED Stage.  In an effort to get there, I'd love for you to nominate me at: https://speaker-nominations.ted.com/  If you want to see the actual recording of my talk go to: http://scalinguph2o.com/tedtalk   I hope you enjoy this episode as I take you through the process of my preparation to do something I have never done before.  Key Points From This Episode:   Working with Tim Fulton [0:01:01] TED Talk and all about it [0:04:07] 7 Habits of Highly Effective People [0:05:16] Preparing for the TED Talk [0:08:06] Professional Speech Coach [0:39:44] My Small Business Matters Conference 2019 experience [0:42:13] And a lot more!

In this episode we discuss becoming a SuperLearner. We dig into questions that I’ve pondered for a long time - does speed reading work? Can we actually speed read and increase our reading comprehension? Are there strategies you can use to improve your memory? And perhaps most importantly - how can we align the way we think, learn, and remember with the way our brains actually operate? We go into this and more with our guest Jonathan Levi.     Jonathan Levi is an author, learning expert, and founder of Super Human Enterprises. He is the author of the book Become a SuperLearner and has helped over 120,000 students improve their learning methodology through his online courses.

Guest Info/Bio:This week I welcome the incredible Kate Bowler, PhD! Kate is a New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and a professor at Duke University. She studies the cultural stories we still ourselves about success, suffering, and whether (or not) we're capable of change. At age 35, she was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, causing her to think in different terms about the research and beliefs she had been studying. She penned the New York Times bestselling memoir, Everything Happen for a Reason (and Other Lies I've Loved), which tells the story of her struggle to understand the personal and intellectual dimensions of the American belief that all tragedies are tests of character. Kate hosts the amazing podcast, Everything Happens where she's spoken with people like Malcolm Gladwell, Matthew McConaughey, and Anne Lamott about what wisdom and truth they've uncovered during difficult circumstances. Kate's work has received wide-spread media attention from NPR, The Today Show, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The TED Stage, and Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Guest Links:www.katebowler.com Instagram: @katecbowler Twitter: @katecbowler Facebook: @katecbowlerSpecial music by Lydia LuceThe songs heard were: “Sausalito” from the album, Azalea and “Never Been Good,” “Leave Me Empty,” and “Something to Say” from the album, Dark RiverYou can find Lydia's music on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, or anywhere good music is found!This episode of the Deconstructionists Podcast was edited, mixed, and produced by John Williamson Stay on top of all of the latest at www.thedeconstructionists.com Go there to check out our blog, snag a t-shirt, or follow us on social mediaJoin our Patreon family here: www.patreon.com/deconstructionists Website by Ryan BattlesAll photos by Jared HevronLogos designed by Joseph Ernst & Stephen PfluigT-shirt designs by Joseph Ernst, Chad Flannigan, Colin Rigsby, and Jason Turner. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-deconstructionists/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
