This podcast is a story about overcoming oppressive obstacles. It’s about facing reality head-on, coming to terms with the truth, and deciding to make a positive change. Specifically, it’s the story of Brad Jensen and how he beat addiction to reinvent himself and become known as “the sober bodybuilder.” I’ll save the details for the interview, but in broad strokes, Brad was a fitness-interested teenager who found himself turning to alcohol and eventually hard drugs to get through life. This led to a decade of serious addiction, becoming a drug dealer, multiple arrests, homelessness, and repeated cycles of recovery and relapse. In other words, Brad has had to deal with far more hardship than the average Joe, but he was able to take responsibility, not succumb to a victim mindset, and completely turn his life around. And while most of you listeners luckily won’t have to deal with the same issues or episodes of intense withdrawal, I think his story will be inspiring and motivating. In case you’re not familiar with Brad, he’s a fellow podcaster (The Key Nutrition Podcast) and coach, who’s used his passion for fitness to help beat addiction, remain sober for over 8 years now, and help other people get fit and healthy. In this interview, he shares his powerful story about his transformation from an anxious kid to a homeless heroin-addict, to a successful entrepreneur and business owner. In this interview, we chat about . . . Why Brad turned to alcohol and drugs and how he got addicted to heroin Dealing with withdrawal and his time spent in jail Other addictive behaviors like looking at pornography The difference between being sober and recovery Why people relapse during recovery and how he finally broke that cycle And more . . . So if you want to hear an inspiring story of how someone faced the truth, overcame addiction, and turned his life around, you’re going to enjoy this podcast. Timestamps: 6:50 - What was happening before 2012? 12:39 - What happened after high school? 38:27 - How did you start to turn your life around?

My guest is Jerrard Parfait. He’s a friend of fifteen years who enjoys risk-taking. In fact, we spend the first hour of this episode talking about poker, decision-making and emotional intelligence.Next we discuss politics & parenting. Parfait, as I call him, lives with his wife, Carolyn, and son, Luke, in South Louisiana. We reminisce on our college days here—playing poker & blackjack at "Grandma Harrah’s" in New Orleans. He believes poker sharpens your skills because of its competitive nature. And much like playing golf, Parfait says, "you must put in a lot of time in order to be good at it."We also discuss screen time & social media. While I envision a future where social media is stigmatized as a low-class activity, Parfait believes otherwise. He says people are way too consumed with showing their best life on social media to abandon it.This conversation was a blast. If you enjoy poker, parenting & politics, you'll enjoy this discussion.Other topics discussed:Poker vs deer huntingTourists that are good for poker"Sizing-up" your opponentBenefits of having a casino close to homeEmotional intelligence in pokerShort-handed poker (6-handed) vs full table (10-handed)Table-banter that's good (and bad)Live vs online poker gamesPoker’s "Black Friday" (2011)Why Brad doesn't play online pokerPeople who play poker for a livingHow Ben Mintz & Playboy Marty landed at Barstool Sports

Today, I'm joined by Brad Lomenick, author of The Catalyst Leader and H3 Leadership. He sees his role as equipping, inspiring, and releasing the next generation of young Christian leaders through events, resources, consulting, content, and connecting a community of like-minded Catalysts all over the world. Brad didn't have a brand book for Catalyst and never saw himself as an author, and many people were encouraging him to write a book. "I felt like people were saying that I should jump into that pool, and I still don't consider myself a writer." He felt a brand book was essential to capture the essence and stories of his brand. "We didn't have something that would outlast us." For Brad, his book will be his remnant that will be around forever. "Books are a lasting legacy because a book is going to be around for a long time." "Anyone who does conferences you know that the ongoing connection and conversation will have points to learn and intersect." He thinks of his book as a connecting resource between what people take away from a conference they've participated in and what they can learn while reading his content. His second book, H3, is his life book. "It's my personal story, it's much more of my personal mantra, and it's my life brand book." He believes this book feels more personal, and therefore, more people are affected by reading this book. Listen in to find out how Brad wrote his life message into his book, why he encourages people to write the business book first, and how Brad promoted his personal book. Learn how Brad promotes his book on podcasts, how you can think innovatively to approach outlets for promotion, and why you need to make it easy for others to promote and sell your book. Show Notes [03:20] Why Brad doesn’t consider himself a writer with two books to his name. [03:57] What a brand book does for your company. [05:50] The brand building movement with his book. [09:25] How H3 fit into Brad’s journey and story. [11:05] The order of writing his books from business to personal. [14:49] Marketing tactics Brad used to market his book.

[29:22] The more assets you have, the more you can trade with cross-promotion. [30:02] How he received so many reviews for his book. [32:47] When you should start writing a book.

He is the founder The Art of Beliefology™ – believing that you have the power to change your beliefs and your future. What you'll learn about in this episode: Why Brad believes success comes from developing discipline and a mindset of willingness to do the work to earn your success What steps Brad recommends for people who aren't willing to settle and who want to develop the right mindset to achieve everything they want from life Why finding and imitating others who have the level of success you want can be powerful and transformative How Brad launched a small oil business at the age of 23, and how he leveraged his ability to build trust and build relationships How, after some challenging setbacks for his oil business, Brad leaned into his skill of building networks and raising capital and pivoted into a new business Why Brad believes success starts with building your fundamental skills and then scaling up, and why anyone can be successful using Brad's methods if they put in the effort How Brad has turned his immense capital-raising experience into a comprehensive eight-course program Why personal credit doesn't matter when you're raising investor capital, and why your attitude and presentation does matter Brad explains his trademarked “The Art of Beliefology” system and his first book “On the Wings of Eagles” Why the key to developing new positive habits is to practice small, incremental changes and build up to your goal Resources: Brad's course on how to raise investor capital: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/capitalschool On the Wings of Eagles by Brad Blazar: https://amzn.to/2WCZJHc Beast Nation podcast with Brad Blazar: www.bradblazar.com/podcast Website: www.BradBlazar.com Email: info@BradBlazar.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/bradblazar/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/brad.blazar LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/bradblazar/ Additional resources: Register for the Wicked Smart Kick Start virtual one-day event on January 9, 2021: www.WickedSmartKickStart.com SmartRealEstateCoach.com/action Real Estate on Your Terms by Chris Prefontaine SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook SmartRealEstateCoach.com/QLS  

#178: Well, after 170+ episodes of talk about purpose, porn, sexual performance, racial inequities, menstrual cycles and menopause, we finally decided to tackle “the last great taboo.” MONEY.  It’s hard to believe, but this is in fact our very first money focused discussion on The Great Man Within Podcast. But boy, do we have a doozy in store for you.  That’s because we have one of the most visible and respected leaders in the Financial Independence movement joining us today: My old college buddy and Great Man Mastermind brother, Brad Barrett. More on him in a moment. If you haven’t heard of the Financial Independence (or FI) movement, you’re missing out. The FI movement is a global community of millions of ordinary citizens breaking free from financial drift, making intentional decisions with their money, and get this: Within a period of 5 to 15 years…having so much money saved that they can choose whether or not they want to work ever again. Members of the FI community are hitting independence in their 40s, 30s or even sometimes their 20s.  And most of these people are NOT extraordinary earners. Many of them are teachers, accountants, hair dressers, union workers or other typical middle class professions.  Sounds impossible, no? Or at least must require some superhuman level of savings and deprivation – like downsizing your family to a one bedroom studio and allocating toilet paper square allotments.  Au contraie, my friends. It’s quite the opposite. While achieving Financial Independence does require intentionality and discipline, it does not necessitate you giving up all of your life’s pleasures to become a frugal weirdo who eats brown bananas.  Instead, Brad Barrett will be teaching us how the choice to begin your journey to financial independence is not only exciting, it has the potential to become one of the most meaningful inner work experiences of your life.  And that, ultimately, leads to freedom. Who is Brad Barrett Brad Barrett is the co-host of the ChooseFI podcast, which is an astoundingly popular financially focused podcast…and beyond that, one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Put it this way, there are 850,000 podcasts in the interwebs today, and ChooseFI is one of the top 500 most downloaded. That puts it in the .0006% of all podcasts (or 6 basis points for you math geeks).  Brad and his wife Laura – and their two young daughters - achieved financial independence before the age of 40, which means they’ve saved enough money away to live off the interest of their savings that totally covers their yearly expenses If you’ve read my new bok, On Purpose Leadership, you already know about Brad, because I featured him the chapter outlining how to identify and follow your Greatest Energy – which is what Brad did to not only achieve FI, but to become one of the pillars of the movement itself In this Episode You’ll learn what is Financial Independence and the “why” behind committing to this lifestyle of living Why Brad calls “money the last great taboo.” Why not taking command of your financial decisions leads to a lifetime of living on the knife’s edge of losing your personal autonomy  Why and how you need to stop seeing saving money as “deprivation” and instead see it as your path to freedom  How to figure out exactly what your life costs The basic math behind how you can calculate your personal “financial independence” number Resources: The ChooseFI Podcast: https://www.choosefi.com/episodes ChooseFI Episode 38, “The Why of ChooseFI”: https://www.choosefi.com/038-the-why-of-fi ChooseFI Episode 100, “Welcome to the FI Community”: https://www.choosefi.com/100-welcome-to-the-fi-community

“SNL” backlash after the big premiere. What the show’s stars are saying now? Plus, inside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s custody battle. Why Brad wants a judge to help him see his kids more. Then, Tom Cruise’s crazy new stunt. And, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s kids first interview ever. Plus, Blake Shelton’s shiny new birthday gift for Gwen Stefani. And, a sneak peek at Gloria Estefan’s new show. Then, AJ McLean calls for the Backstreet Boys to be his backup dancers on “Dancing with the Stars.”

Brad Ferris, RN worked at the bedside for many years. One of the things that frustrated Brad was the focus on the rhetoric of patient centric care, but working in a provider centric environment. Brad noticed that the way we speak to our patients is very transactional. Our interactions tend to lack warmth and empathy mostly due to the time constraints we've been placed under. Brad worked extensively in clinical research trials and came across artificial intelligence. He worked with artificial intelligence with the patients and saw some interesting results. He began to explore how artificial intelligence in text messaging could create a patient centric environment. Brad began writing scripts for the messaging that could interact with patients and help to create the beginning of a relationship. Not only that, by using AI, the messenger could answer an unlimited number of phone calls at the same time, negating the need to have a lot of staff putting patients on hold. Brad's overall big idea was to take the transactional conversations we've been having with patients and turn it into therapeutic conversations that are inviting and rewarding. Brad's innovative idea is being taken to marketplace to launch in clinics across the US to improve the conversations we are having with our patients.

Brad Warner and Free Your Inner Guru host Laura Tucker talk about Letters to a Dead Friend About Zen and the dangers of pushing for a spiritual breakthrough before you are ready. Brad Warner is a Soto Zen priest, bass guitarist for the punk band Zero Defex and the author of Letters to a Dead Friend About Zen. In his most recent book, Brad Warner introduces us to Zen Buddhism through the perspective of letters he writes to his friend Marky, who has died of cancer. But he’s not just talking to Marky, he’s talking to you in the frank tone and language of telling it like it is, to a close friend on borrowed time. First, I loved this book and highly recommend it.  Second, I've been saving this interview for just the right time. We recorded this interview three days after I sat for my interview for the just-released Guru: The Dark Side of Enlightenment podcast by Wondery. After speaking about Zen Buddhism and Letters to a Dead Friend About Zen, Brad and I get going about some of the issues in the spirituality and self help circles that have become important to me based on lived experience.   It was reassuring to speak to a spiritual leader about why all things don't work for all people, and the dangers of inducing altered states in the pursuit of spiritual growth. Enjoy this big conversation with someone who doesn't shy away from going counter to the status quo. Conversation highlights: Why Brad started writing letters to his dead friend Marky. How Brad became a Zen monk, without setting off to be a monk. Is Zen Buddhism a religion, or a lifestyle? Sitting Zazen without a goal to be mindful or a better person. Re-thinking detachment: The Sanskrit word that’s usually translated as attachment has a double meaning of fuel. Laura on how meditation is like running: Even my worst run was better than the run I didn’t take. Brad on how Zen practice is like playing music, especially in front of a group. The dark side of meditation and the pitfalls that can happen when you extract mindfulness from the ethics and culture surrounding it. The down side of using drugs and altered states to push for spiritual experiences.   Mentioned in this episode: Book - Letters to a Dead Friend About Zen Brad's Blog - hardcorezen.info Hardcore Zen Youtube Channel Want to have big conversations in your life?

Summary: More than ever, uncertainty from economic conditions caused by Coronavirus/COVID-19 has many businesses frozen in fear. Some for good reason, and others irrationally. Today we are breaking down those obstacles to taking action and sharing how we’re trying to “un-freezing” current and potential. We’re also talking about how we are marketing our own services in this time. Although there is enormous uncertainty- there is also enormous opportunity for Agency leaders to lean into their expertise, reestablish their passion, provide a unique perspective of experience for their customers, and train their eyes on the future. Let’s dive in!   Resources Mentioned:  Simon Sinek’s Ted Talk: Start with Why Brad’s Agency Webinar AE Owners Facebook Group   Top 3 Curtain Pulls in this episode: While it is incredibly difficult for businesses to think past the immediate fears that they have regarding the pandemic, agencies are uniquely suited to position themselves as a source of education and guidance. Experience with hundreds/thousands of clients, hundreds/thousands of different projects with different variables and pain points… there is a deep well of knowledge in that work and you should be educating your clients from that knowledge across all of your channels.  Don’t focus on WHAT you deliver. Taking the time to reset your “why” regarding your business can help reset your creative spark and allow space for new ideas to come to the surface. Focusing on your “why” means that the “what” of your business can be more resilient and allows you to pivot more successfully.  Rather than “selling” to your potential customers, consider it as just “helping them make the right decision”. And do that with great passion.   About The Guys:  Bob Hutchins: Founder of BuzzPlant, a digital agency that he ran from from 2000 -2017. He is also the author of 3 books.

More on Ken:  Ken on LinkedIn Metacake - An Ecommerce Growth Team Growth Rebel TV twitter.com/iamKenOtt instagram.com/iamKenOtt facebook.com/iamKenOtt   Show Notes: [4:00] We reflect on the reality of our new way of life. One positive side effect is that people are becoming more gracious, forgiving, and sensitive to others’ experience. We see tv stars and news casters in their home with their children, we see the behind the scenes of things that are usually very produced. This is going to impact the way that all productions are executed in the future, even after Covid-19 is over.  [4:45] Bob speaks about this week’s guest: “Her words were ‘This is going to change how we do business going forward in that they’ve always allowed someone to work from home a couple of days a week, but she said they are seeing such high productivity out of their team during this time there’s very little distraction, for the most part.” [6:25] Ken adds that some businesses probably are realizing that their big expensive office  building may not be a necessity, which is great. But also there are people whose personality type is not’ conducive to self-isolation. And there is suffering in that for some people.   “I’m considering a hybrid model where we can keep the pros of both… I’m hoping to blend this back into what our normal is.” [7:15] Bob: “Well that’s a perfect segue really… we’re talking about productivity when it comes to sales… how to thrive in this time, how to reinvent, re-imagine yourself. How are you guys doing with existing clients?”  [8:07] Brad speaks on the struggle of filling up your sales pipeline during this time. “We probably won’t see the effect of that for 3, 4, 5 months. Typically in our sales cycle, onboarding a new client typically two, three, four, five months. And leads that we did have put things on hold. They may start back up again, but there’s a lot of uncertainty right now.” “Most of our energy has been trying to keep the boat afloat for not just our core business, but helping our clients over hurdles that they’ve had to get over. A lot of them are rethinking the way they do business right now.”  It’s a common experience right now to struggle to develop new leads.  [11:00] Brad: “All this time has created a lot of thought patterns- people think about their businesses deeper, they think about their values. They reinvent themselves at this point… so they might have a lot of great ideas.” As we get more news about when things will open again, there is a ramping up of ideas and readiness to dive into the next phase. [12:31] Ken: “The idea of serving current clients and making that successful then finding new business that you company needs to thrive- you need to run on both. That’s the challenge,” and it applies to every day business life, not just this situation that we’re currently living.  Marketing your own company is something that Ken has focused on aggressively for the last few years. And it is bearing fruit now! [14:37] Ken: “Some of our clients are struggling because of certain fears and certain threats to how they do business right now. But I don’t think it’s going to last for too long.”  Helping clients make the right decisions for their business inside of the uncertainty is something that can really be lead from the sales end. “It’s almost like selling them hard on what they need to do, with or without us, but saying ‘We really think you need to do this for this reason… Despite the environment, here’s why it’s important for you to continue with this project or investment.” [15:45] Ken continues: “So helping people make the right decisions has been our sales strategy now more than ever, but it’s become really clear for us… speaking those words, helping people make the right decision, we’re starting to see that freeze mode loosen up a bit.”  [18:45] Bob adds: “I’ve noticed with some companies that March started off with a strong dive- specifically ecommerce businesses, and now that’s actually going up because I think… people are stuck inside and their only way to connect, research, buy, to have any contact with their outside world through the internet and ecommerce.” [20:25] Brad chimes in: “There’ll be some new companies in the next three or four months hopefully that will convert the way they do business. And they’ll be looking for companies like us to work with… so that’s kind of where I’m looking.” Reflecting on the explosion of new ideas and thought after the 2008 recession started to swing up again. “I find myself looking forward, to not letting the grief and loss breed anxiety, I’m trying to keep my head afloat and look to the future and say ‘Okay all of this time right now that is being disrupted… hopefully in the next 6 or 8 months all of that will be returned to you with even more.” “My business exists and I participate in this business because I love helping companies build great things and provide great products to customers that are really needed.” [22:08] Ken: “Internet usage as a whole is up 35% right now... and there is a new focus on education in a new way.” First of all, because kids are being educated at home but also because there is a pressing need for some to make sure that their role is invaluable- some are getting education because they’re switching industries after getting laid off. So it would make sense that some industries are thriving now- education is incredibly valuable right now.  Agencies are well-positioned for that shift. “As an agency, you’ve got experience, more than anyone could teach in university- probably across hundreds of brands across so many industries. So you are uniquely positioned to teach people.” A lot of companies are probably experiencing the same struggle with how to split marketing funds. Five weeks ago the growth hacking movement was in full swing, but things have shifted dramatically. So it can be a challenge to figure out how to maneuver through this.  Agencies are uniquely suited to this shift due to the education they can provide.  [24:48] Bob speaks on the question of purpose and how this is a valuable time to start re-assessing your answers to those questions.  It’s easy when things are normal and you’re chugging along in day to day life, to lose sight of why you began your business in the first place. And this eventually can lead to a lack of inspiration, a lack of creativity.  “These times push us to asking existential questions like ‘Why am I here? What’s important to me?’” “This is a great time to really go back and just ask teh hard questions with yourself, with your partners, with your team, whatever it may be. Why did we start this company to begin with? What was our passion at the time? Can we retrace our steps to remember why we started in the first place? And then let that inspire new direction, let that refill your tank with passion. Let that create new ideas… it sounds simplistic, but I think it’s so important during this time.”  [29:45] Ken speaks on the importance of noting the difference between your “what” and your “why”.  Mentions: Simon Sinek’s “Start with Why” talk and Storybrand.  Centering your business around the “what” is dangerously common- If you’re marketing your business as a Facebook Marketing Agency...  what happens if Facebook goes away? Your entire business is gone. If you take the time to define the Why of your business instead of what it is that you do- there is enormous potential in that. “So I look at our business as ‘We sell  experience and knowledge. That produces results through systems and formulas… and one way we do business is working with you. Another way we do business is through you purchasing that knowledge some other way with us leading you to do it.” [34:00] Brad speaks on working with legacy companies that have been around for a hundred years or more. They survive not by doing the same business for a hundred years, but by keeping their ‘Why’ at the top of mind. When their why is strong, the what can shift and change over time, and that means longevity and success.  [36:25] Brad talks about how the companies that do the best have a strong why- “A company doing their job just because it’s work will never be able to compete with a company or business owner or employees that understand WHY.”  [41:00] Bob: “One of the things I’ve said for years… it doesn’t apply to every agency owner… you need to start seeing yourself as a media company because what you do is you create and produce, you enhance and market media… it’s all pixels, it’s content, it’s helping clients tell their story.” If you’ve been having really great ideas to get your clients in front of people, now is a great time to do this for yourself! A lot of brands give the keys to your customers… They didn’t necessarily need to reinvent themselves, but they reinvented the way they communicated. And thus, they did reinvent themselves by allowing their customers to collaborate, to use digital tools to design… everybody’s at home so now is a good time to figure out how to give people the keys.”  [44:35] Brad speaks on the desire to create contentment in change for himself. Reaching a  point where you’re comfortable enough with change that you can pivot quickly. Learning to be more flexible and allow the customers to own more of the decisions.  It feels like we’re relinquishing control, but really control was an illusion to begin with. It was always the market that determined how you did your business. But this is a time to really settle into that perceived loss of control.  [46:30] Ken talks about how before this happened, many would have thought that working from home was an impossibility, but within just three or four weeks that has been proven untrue. We can adapt and adjust, so now it’s a matter of “challenging norms that we would usually take for granted.”  Taking that mindset of innovation into your business will only help! “We’ve gotten so into… return on ad spend, investment conversation to where we are unwilling to even let a dollar go if it doesn’t return another dollar. Which is insane because how do you ever explore new channels and invest in them?” [49:55] Bob: “If you are relying on one channel that you don’t own or that you don’t have control over, then you are just waiting for disaster… A good exercise for anyone during this time is what are the sources of traffic and revenue… Could I survive without it? And if I couldn’t… start to diversify and be like… okay we’ve got Facebook nailed. Now let’s figure out how to do the same thing on Google.” [52:15] Ken talks about the technology/delivery model of Fast Food giant Chick-fil-A and their online delivery system and app technology for online ordering.  “That must have been tons of money invested into that… they must have thought ‘Why would anyone stop coming in to pick stuff up?’ But I’m sure right now that that entire system that they invested into 2 years ago is the thing that is pulling them through this time…”  [55:00] Brad tells us about his upcoming webinar: “We’re doing a 60-minute webinar about 3 topics: how to protect your financial viability, how to use this time to strengthen your brand, and we’re going to look at case studies of how companies have reinvented themselves in the past through different challenges in society.”

Imagine having the capacity to build a website that only you can put up or take down. A website that doesn’t require you to answer to any government or powerful company.

He shares the idea of using extensions to support blockchain-based domains and the value of Unstoppable’s ecosystem partnerships with those browser extensions as well as IPFS providers and wallets.Brad goes on to address how Unstoppable Domains differs from ENS, functioning as both a registry and registrar and driving adoption through a sunrise period for brand owners.

When growing your book of business, you can either build it from scratch yourself or join up with another advisor and purchase their practice. Today’s guest is most experienced in the latter, and he’s here to share the insights, benefits, and perils of buying (and selling) your business. Brad Amlin has put in more than 17 years in the financial services business. His primary area of expertise is financial, estate and tax planning, focusing on strategies that include the use of life insurance and investment vehicles. He works with both business owners and high net worth individuals. Brad has also been through numerous business transitions, both as the advisor buying practices and, more recently, as the one selling his own business. Listen in to hear how Brad built a $30 million AUM business to $150 million – and why he decided to sell. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How Brad sought out clients in his early days as an independent advisor (8:15) How Brad built Cornwall Wealth Management from $30 million to $150 million AUM (12:35) What Brad looks for in clients (24:45) How to help your clients through a business transition (28:50) Why Brad’s practice has both MFDA and IIROC advisors (31:30) Major challenges when undergoing a business transition (33:35) Links and Resources: Email Brad Cornwall Wealth Management The Personal Coach Quotes by Brad Amlin: “Success really revolves around the continuity of who the client’s dealing with.” “Even if you do want to, over time, rebrand the company, I think maintaining the brand… for a specified period of time post-transition really helps the continuity and maintains that client.” “I find the challenge to be maintaining confidence and maintaining that ‘up’ feeling in an environment that seems to be rapidly shifting through regulatory change.” While Brad started his financial services career working for a bank, he’s since had quite the career building and buying financial advisory businesses; at its peak, his practice had $150 million AUM. In his mid-forties, he decided it was time to sell his business to another advisor and get back to what he loves best: time and working directly with clients. Below, we’re sharing three key ideas from this episode: What Brad looks for in clients How to help your clients through a business transition Solutions to 3 major business transition challenges

Authenticity and honesty are concepts that have been iterated time and again in the show and from the guests as one of the key components of successful relationships and meaningful life.   This time around, we have the main proponent of radical honesty to speak about what he's been advocating and teaching for the last 25 years.   Brad Blanton is a psychotherapist, author, workshop leader, speaker, and the founder of Radical Honesty Enterprises. His team conducts more than a hundred workshops per year, plus coachings and meetup groups to share with the world how radical honesty can positively impact lives.   Brad joins me as this episode's guest as we talk about his bestselling book Radical Honesty -- a book that changed my life immensely. Some might think that radical honesty can result in judging and hurting people, but what Brad offers is a genuine and honest expression that allows you to transform your life and your relationships.   Brad unpacks the objectives as well as consequences of practicing radical honesty in the various aspects of our lives.  We also touched on a bit of politics too.   Some of the areas we covered in this episode include:   An overview of his work and business that grew into what it is today, and why he attributes the recent boost of his book sales to Donald Trump. (04:07) What radical honesty means, how it goes against society's conventions, and why ‘the fake it ‘til you make it' attitude of pretending and lying can be detrimental to our lives. (06:04) How to engage with people and live life practicing more honesty. (12:46) Radical honesty when it comes to job interviews and recruitment. (18:50) Why Brad recommends being honest at the risk of offending and hurting people, and the value of forgiveness. (23:59) Understanding our assumptions and perceptions of the world, the difference between the two concepts, and the conflicts that arise from these. (29:11) The importance of sticking around after you've been honest with someone. (32:50) The information that Brad suggests to disclose if someone cheats in a relationship and why the need for these details? (34:28) The faulty values of righteousness and moralism. (37:36) A proof of how radical honesty works even in the political arena. (43:42) Radical honesty in pick-up arts and dating. (45:40) The difference between brutal and genuine honesty, and tapping vulnerability and relationship intimacy. (53:09) The consequences of practicing radical honesty which can lead to better family or relationship dynamics. (59:27) Dealing with the phases of anger, how it leads to forgiveness, and the process of forgiveness. (1:03:04) A new workshop his team is working on that merges personal growth with politics. (1:09:29) Living life authentically is something that I promote so I want more people to learn about it.  If you want to discover more about Radical Honesty and how it can improve your life, get a free copy of Intro to Radical Honesty.

Brad's books are all available on Amazon, including Radical Honesty and Practicing Radical Honesty. As for me, I'm still a bit on the fence when it comes to approaching women with radical honesty. I guess I'm going to have to see if it will be effective for me. Maybe I'll give you an update how it goes.

This week I’m excited to welcome Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness to The Psychology Podcast. Brad writes for Outside, Runner’s World, NPR and has a column in the Huffington Post about health and the science of human performance. Steve Magness coaches Olympians and marathoners, lectures at St. Mary’s University on Exercise Science, and writes for numerous publications including Wired, Sports Illustrated and NY Magazine on the science of performance. Together they are partners in peak performance, in research, and in writing their latest book Peak Performance: Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive with the New Science of Success. In this conversation, Brad and Steve teach us: Why the word “performance” can be deceiving and how those of us focused on creative endeavors, who may not think of “performance” as an end goal, can benefit from their research, Why both physical and cognitive rest are crucial for world-class performance in our pursuits, in what’s known as the Paradox of Rest (some of you probably know how much I love a good paradox!), How harmonious passion maps onto their ideas about burnout, and how to identify whether a pursuit is rooted in harmonious or obsessive passion, Why Brad and Steve limit themselves to 24-48 hours of celebration or wallowing after identity-validating or identity-challenging events, How to optimize our routines to achieve peak performance, Why transcendence is one of the most underrated characteristics of peak performance.

I welcome my old friend, and longtime audio mentor Brock Armstrong, host of the Get Fit Guy podcast and co-creator of an innovative weight loss coaching course at weighless.life. Brock, the pride of Vancouver, B.C., Canada, has had a wild ride through life as a former professional ballet dancer turned heavy smoking band roadie, turned extreme endurance athlete, and recently has modified his approach to fitness to emphasize general fitness, functionality, and longevity. Brock is an enlightened dude who reports walking over to the gym for a planned session of heavy lifting, and then following an urge to bail on the gym and instead taking a 7-kilometer walk. Ever do anything similar? Why or why not? This podcast will get you pondering the deeper questions of life, health, fitness, and getting over yourself en route to ambitious peak performance goals. Ah, the beauty of podcasts where you get real insights and authentic conversation that extend far off the pages of a book or a magazine article. We attempt to steer the discussion to the interests of endurance athletes at times, for the show was syndicated for the Primal Blueprint endurance podcast. But hang on for a wild ride, because *we take you where health and fitness podcasts have never gone before with no punches pulled.* We ask you to ponder the elephant in the room question: Should you keep pursuing your competitive athletic goals? What about your career? Do you have an exit strategy? *Are your identity and self-esteem intertwined with what you do?* We get super deep talking about *thoughts and energy fields influencing cellular functio* n, how an intuitive approach to training trumps biohacking and biotechnology (or at least enhances the effectiveness of tech tracking), how *fat loss is best achieved through mindset* instead of calorie burning and calorie counting, and how to make recovery the central element of your fitness pursuits, and how an energizing morning routine (check on my morning routine video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM-ETSme1g8 ) on YouTube and you can also see my step-by-step breakdown of cold therapy here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF6d9ngxnDo ) ) will help you build focus and discipline in all areas of life, and much more.
