As 2016 comes to a close and I begin to dream about 2017, I am so excited that Ed O'Keefe's book, "Time Collapsing: The New Art of Speed, Power, Money, and Meaning" has come into my life. And my hope is you'll walk away from this last interview of the year with a new perspective to make 2017 your best yet. 

Not only is Ed a father of 7 (all under the age of 12), he's an incredibly successful entrepreneur. He went from completely broke to cracking the code to starting and taking multiple businesses from zero to multiple 7 and 8 figures. Over the years, with his passion for studying high performers and through his own business experience, he has distilled down the time-collapsing strategies that help people get from point A to point B with record speed. 

In this interview, Ed talks about: 

  • Examples of time collapsars
  • How leapfrog to success
  • What it means to create your own tsunami with results
  • The mistake high achievers make of falling into a permission trap

What I know for sure is that what stands in the way between what we say we want and what we have is almost always fear. And the way we move past fear is through RISK. Looking back at my life, I realize now that the biggest risk I ever took was for my marriage. I fought for it. What it required was risking getting hurt again. Lots of people told me I was stupid for staying, but I knew what I wanted. It sure as hell wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

All the time, we hear people saying, "Be yourself!" or "Just be confident!" 

But does that actually mean? And how do we do that? 

Relationship coach and author Aaron Steinberg has the answer, and it's PRACTICING HONESTY. 

"Where you feel like you would have to take a risk to communicate what you're thinking or what you're feeling, take that risk," says Aaron. 

Also in this podcast, we talk about

-Why we stop being honest in the first place

-What happens when we tell little lies to ourselves and others

-Why "picking our battles" is bull shit

 

To learn more about Aaron, go to his website or get his book, The Honesty Practice on Amazon

 

Check out Aaron's other interview on the WTF Am I Doing with My Life? Podcast where he talks about conflict as an opportunity

Whether you are a CEO, a teacher, a mom, a coach, or an ice cream scooper, your speaking skills are important. Our ability to communicate effectively affects our relationships, career and self-esteem. And the great part about it is that with practice, ANYONE can be a great speaker. 

Grant Baldwin, a professional speaker, entrepreneur, author, and family man has taught hundreds of people this skill because he knows first hand that speakers are not born, they are grown. Years ago when his wife (high school sweetheart) was five-months pregnant with his first daughter, Grant made the decision to quit his job to find something he was passionate about doing. 

On this podcast, Grant talks about: 

The excitement/pressure during the time he was soul searching

How he knew his calling was to be a speaker

The first steps in becoming a professional speaker

What to do if you freeze while speaking

Last week, I drove down to Tijuana to visit a few of my friends who did this crazy thing and bought a hospital (my friends are kind of crazy, but the good kind. Passionate crazy). So of course, this isn't just any hospital. It's a groundbreaking cancer-research hospital that specializes in alternative medicine and Gerson Therapy and is going to revolutionize the way we treat cancer. It's called The Centro Hospitalario Internacional del Pacifico S.A., or CHIPSA and they are creating miracles. I don't know if I'd believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. 

One such miracle who I met on the trip is Ryan Luelf. He is a 35-year-old father of three, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 B-Cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma a little over a year ago. The treatment options available to him through traditional medicine were grim. In fact, Ryan’s own doctor stated that he had a higher chance of dying from chemotherapy than the lymphoma in the next 6 months.

Unwilling to accept those options, Ryan investigated his options, including the Gerson Therapy which is an all natural protocol developed my Dr. Max Gerson that utilizes an organic, plant-based diet, with raw juices, coffee enemas to strengthen the immune system and re-ignite the body’s ability to heal itself. He started that immediately and when he couldn't find alternative therapy in the U.S., that's when he went to CHIPSA. 

He was diagnosed in October 2015 and tests from June have showed complete resolution in some areas and near complete resolution in others. Ryan says that in two weeks, he hopes to have scientific proof that he's 100% cancer free. 

On the podcast, Ryan shares his story and talks about:

  • Why he chose alternative treatment
  • The tough resistance he faced from friends and family about not going the traditional route
  • Overcoming getting scammed out of $45,000 in the Philippines
  • The mindset that kept him going through the tough times
  • What's next for him and his family

Read more about Ryan's story and specific treatments he used on CHIPSA's blog.

There are a few common excuses we like to give about why we aren’t living a healthy lifestyle. 
 
“I don’t have enough time."
“I can’t afford a trainer."
“I don’t belong to a gym or have equipment."
Or, “I JUST HATE WORKING OUT!"
 
Dai Manuel, a fitness entrepreneur and lifestyle mentor, understands this and his workouts, blog, and book, The Whole Life Fitness Manifesto, serve as his answer for all of these excuses. Dai’s mission is to empower people to live a FUNctionally fit life.
 
“What I found is that when I really dig into why someone wants to lose 20 pounds or why someone wants to get in shape and get them to connect their long-term vision emotionally, it shifts them from 'I should get in shape to I want to get in shape.’" says Dai.
 
On this episode we discuss: 
  • Dai's struggle as an obese teenager and how he turned his struggle into his purpose
  • Debunks the myths that keep us from getting in shape
  • How to create vision for our health
  • What led him to his decision to quit drinking
  • What’s the first right step to take towards a healthy, FUN life.

Without us even knowing, our thoughts, which can be crazy as f***, dictate how we feel and the actions (or lack thereof) that we take. In one 10 minute mindfulness meditation this week at the beach, I identified some of these. And they were wack.

Given that we are all biochemically different, it makes sense that we also all have different needs when it comes to food intake. But how come most of us have no idea what foods are best for us?

At age 30, he launched a blog at WorthTheWaitGuy.com to share his story, and has since turned it into a coaching business, best-selling books, and an appearance on The Steve Harvey Show. In addition to that, he's got a clothing brand called Live At Your Own Pace.

No matter the question, the answer is love. We have gotten away from that this political season. We have allowed our differences in opinion to divide us. It's torn apart friendships, families, and of course, our country. But that doesn't have to be the case, and it starts with us.

Other than our family, I believe there are a handful of people who walk into our lives and leave permanent footprints. Daniel Negreanu is one of those people to me. He has been a mentor and was actually the first to introduce me to the world of emotional intelligence and personal development. 

For those who are unfamiliar with the poker world, Negreanu is considered of the most influential poker ambassadors in history and is number one on the all-time money list with nearly $33 million in tournament winnings. Amongst his poker achievements are six World Series of Poker bracelets, two World Poker Tour titles, Global Poker Index Player of the Decade, and a member of the Poker Hall of Fame. 

Off the table, he's dedicated his life to make a difference. Every year he hosts the St. Jude Against All Odds Celebrity Poker Tournament and last year alone, he raised almost half a million dollars for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 

This year's event is Saturday, November 5th. If you'd like to purchase a dinner ticket or play in the tournament, you can do so at the St. Jude website. Poker players will be playing for the chance to win a seat to the 2017 WSOP Main Event. Second place winner will win a five-day getaway to "Getaway to Fiji": Namale Resort & Spa.

Stretching is the practice of continually getting out of your comfort zone in small and consistent ways. So often we get caught up in doing things the way we had before, expecting different results. But the truth is if we want to achieve something we haven't before we've got to be willing to do things we've never done before.
