What are some beliefs you have discovered that were limiting, wrong, unfair, or downright destructive to yourself, a segment of the population, or humanity as a whole? Slave owners had certain beliefs, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) have certain beliefs, those who don't believe in gender equality, in equal pay for men and women, interracial or same sex marriages… they have a set of beliefs. Here are three ways to debunk beliefs that no longer serve you: ONE: Where does a certain belief that doesn't serve you come from? First, a belief is simply a thought we keep thinking.  Nothing more. Why would you want to get rid of a belief? The first thing to do is understand how we came to believe something that is no longer serving us. Who passed it down to us? Who said that something was so… whatever it is? For example, women should not ask men to marry them. If you're not married by a certain age you're an old maid/spinster? If it didn't come from you, why should you keep it? TWO: How long have you held on to, and practiced this belief? The longer it's been, the longer it may take to get rid of, depending on what it is. A belief we've been believing for a long time is like a tall thick tree.  No matter how much you push on it with your hands, you will not be able to topple it. But if you start chipping away at its trunk with an ax or a saw, little by little it will start to weaken its trunk. That's all it takes… a sway in the wind, a wobble in its balance… it's the same with debunking a long held belief… you can debunk it and topple it over!!

When approaching innovation and branding, understand who you serve first. Don't focus on the solution first. According to Harvard Business Review, statistics tell us that over 70% of innovation fails. With a background as a global innovator, Sue Bevan Baggot learned this quickly as she looked to begin her career at Proctor and Gamble. She was drawn to the company because of their focus on innovative ways of improving people's businesses. Sue worked on helping clients uncover the insights they needed to help them set business or innovation strategies. She discovered that the secret to success is motivation, the continual evolution of information and social contact, personal and professional development, and the ability to promote success across all platforms. Failure taught her that innovation and creativity alone is not enough to move a product or build a client base. Building trust was crucial and that took time as the company stepped back to ask some important questions. The questions they asked are universal in their scope of application for anyone in business. We will approach four of them here: One: Who are you serving? Two: How can you create value? Three: How can you build trust with uniqueness? and Four: What does empathy look like?

The NFL is the big dog and in this show we highlight two key data points. Data point One: Google via its YouTube brand paying $2 Billion Dollars a year for the Sunday Ticket in 2024 and Data point Two: How badly the NFL trounced the NBA on Christmas Day ratings, and that's with the NBA getting better numbers than the last few years. We discuss implications of the YouTube TV deal, trends in viewing and discuss how all other sports are just fighting for the NFL's table scraps. We close it out looking at what sports business stories will start to pop, or continue to simmer.

Christian people have often failed in their responsibilities to their fellow man. This is not terribly surprising. After all, we are human. Jesus, in a couple of his parables suggested that as many as half of us who call ourselves by his name will fail. And, in the end, none of us can escape the judgment that will fall on us for how we live and act in this miserable world. A date that few remember is April 1, 1933. In Germany, it was a beginning. On this day a boycott of Jewish-owned shops began. Members of the Brownshirts picketed the shops to see to it that the boycott was successful. The hostility toward Jews grew day by day. Many shops and restaurants began to refuse service to Jews. In some parts of Germany, Jews were banned from public parks, swimming pools, and public transportation. Germans were encouraged not to use Jewish doctors and lawyers. Jewish civil servants and teachers were fired.As troubling as all that was to me, what was far worse was coming to realize that throughout this period, leaders of the Protestant and Catholic churches remained silent. Only a handful of young pastors resisted. You may ask yourself how the German Christians could allow this sort of thing to happen to them? I will give you two things to think about. One: Most of those young pastors who resisted ended up arrested and executed. Two: How much evidence is there that American Christians have any more backbone than the German Christians of that day?

Against the complexities that we all face, sometimes it seems that we are at our limits. We need to work on two subjects: one: out how do we get great? Two: How can we manage our own improvement? Two ways as far as this is concerned: the traditional that is that you go to school, you study, you practice, you learn, you graduate, and then you go out into the world and you make your way on your own. Give or take, it Works. Second view: A crucial and simple question: What can you do differently next time?" You either don't recognize the issues that are standing in your way or you don't know how to fix them. And the result is that somewhere and sometime along the way, you stopped improving. So, he kept on thinking and asked himself: "Is this as good as it gets?" I'll try a coach, why not."

Today I share the top 4 ways to prepare your body for pregnancy. Today’s episode is sponsored by The Fifth Vital Sign: Master Your Cycles & Optimize Your Fertility.

The problem with "low-fat" diets Overcoming the myth that animal fats are bad for us The massive difference between the nutrient density of organ meats compared to regular muscle meats The role of a nutrient-dense diet in building and preserving fertility Why we are so quick to give up animal fats but don't think twice about bingeing on sugar How to reduce sugar cravings in a way that doesn't involve calorie restriction Why breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day How does shifting the focus to eating a nutrient dense diet affect your weight?

I have a special compilation episode for you today where I share interviews with two incredible health professionals. Dr. Pizzorno is one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine. In 2000, Dr. Pizzorno was appointed by President Clinton to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy and by President Bush to the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee in 2002. Dr. Pizzorno is the author or co-author of 10 books, including the internationally acclaimed Textbook of Natural Medicine and the best-selling Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. He has also recently released his newest Book The Toxin Solution. In our interview, Dr. Pizzorno talks about toxicity and why we need to be actively reducing our toxic load prior to pregnancy. How to know if you are toxic, and what to do to reduce your toxic load before you start having children. He also shares the true cause of insulin resistance, and spoiler alert it’s not sugar. Dr. Klassen is a Naturopathic Doctor who works out of Calgary (Alberta). He teaches anatomy & physiology, cellular biology, and pathology at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Calgary In our interview, Dr. Klassen talks about liver function and the role of the liver in clearing both our natural estrogens and also synthetic exogenous estrogens and progestins. We talk about hormonal contraceptives, how they impact our endocrine function, and why long-term use is problematic. We also talk about digestion and the critical role digestion plays in maintaining endocrine balance and overall health. Registration is now open for the next round of my 10 Week Fertility Awareness Mastery Group Program! We're starting the first week off of September 2017. Make sure to head over to the group program page and apply today to reserve your spot.  Topics discussed in today's episode:   Why it's incredibly important for women to decrease their toxic load for a minimum of a year prior to pregnancy Why nature prioritized the mother and dumps toxins directly into the baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding How can we tell if we are toxic? The genetic factors that determine how efficiently you are able to detoxify naturally How to find a practitioner to support you in detoxifying prior to pregnancy The importance of switching to an organic lifestyle to reduce your toxic exposure The link between toxins and other issues like diabetes Why sugar isn't the cause of diabetes The connection between toxic exposure and  insulin resistance What are the 3 main estrogens in the body and how are they different Why it's critical to have a balance of estrogen and progesterone for healthy fertility Why taking one hormone can affect the levels of a number of other hormones in the body Why antibiotics lower the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives Why women who take hormonal contraceptives have very low levels of their natural estrogen and progesterone The connection between progesterone and thyroid hormones How to support the body to clear both natural and synthetic hormones from the body The connection between stress and fertility The importance of mindful eating as a way to improve digestion Connect with Dr. Pizzorno You can connect with Dr. Pizzorno on his Website, and on Facebook and Twitter.

Reverse Your Thoughts, Increase Your Income Unifying Principles are those guiding thoughts around which all your actions revolve. When you hold them in plain sight, you always know what to do next. Brilliant people stumble when they focus on the parts and neglect to see the webs of connections between those parts. This is what causes medical doctors to treat each symptom separately while failing to recognize the underlying disease. Such compartmentalization is an even bigger problem in business, causing owners and managers to wrestle with symptoms instead of solving the problem. Not enough customers, low profit margins, high employee turnover and negative online reviews are merely compartmentalized symptoms of a systemic malfunction. Unifying principles eliminate compartmentalization. Let's develop some unifying principles for your business that will help you create your happiest possible future: 1. Think of your perfect ending; leap forward in time and see the outcome you most desire. How does that future company behave? Who are its customers? What marvelous things does it do that cause its customers to recruit their friends? What do these happy customers say about you? Describe, right now, the perfect day in this business you'll own in the future. See, feel, taste and smell all the details of that soon-coming day. 2. Hold those thoughts clearly in your mind. 3. You are now equipped to identify the constituent components of this happy future. You're ready to create the steps that will take you there. You're ready to draw the map you will follow. ONE: Where would such a company be located? TWO: How would such a workplace be decorated? THREE: How would such a company recruit its employees? FOUR: In what ways might such a company train its employees? FIVE: How would such a company compensate those employees? SIX: What hours would such a company be open? SEVEN: How would their ads make you feel? EIGHT: What would their written warranties and guarantees include? NINE: What would such a company NEVER do? TEN: What might such a company do for its customers that its competitors would be unwilling to do? Are you beginning to get the picture? A clear and stable vision of the End Goal is required to inform the small choices that will bring that goal into existence. You've previously heard of Gestalt Theory but now you've actually used it. AThis particular application of Gestalt Theory springs from TRIZ Principle 13: turn it upside down; reverse the process; do it backwards. If you want to learn the other 39 Principles of TRIZ, check out Mark Fox's book, Da Vinci and the 40 Answers or https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=88 (attend that class) when Br'er Fox teaches it on Oct. 30-31. Wizard Academy cognoscenti Dr. Kary Mullis never heard of TRIZ Principle 13 but he instinctively used it to create Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR,) the invention that opened the door for DNA research and won him the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Kary said, “Everyone was looking for a needle in a haystack, so I said, ‘Why not turn the haystack into needles?'” Turn it upside down; reverse the process; do it backwards. That's how PCR was born. More recently, Kary used Principle 13 to create Altermune, the invention that will probably win him a second Nobel Prize. Speaking of that portion of our immune system that attacks foreign tissue and of how it has been studied for decades so that it can be suppressed during organ transplants, Kary said, “Suppress it, hell, why not aim it?” And from that bit of backwards thinking Kary Mullis invented an antidote for anthrax. He will likely use this same technique to invent cures for dozens of other things for which our bodies have no defense. http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com/kary-at-ted (Watch the video) at TED.com Wizard Academy Cognoscenti rock the...
