Sarah Thomas, LAc (and known to many as Starwolf) is an inspired non-binary healer and educator. Sarah owns Clarity Acupuncture in Asheville, NC where they performed well over 10,000 stone and needle hybrid treatments since its inception in 2009. She is also the founder of the Clarity Crystal shop.

Sarah has years of teaching live certification courses, speaking at national conferences, certifying students in 9-week online stone medicine trainings, and traveling the world in search of the most powerful stones on Earth.

"Every negatively polarized being has a positively polarized higher self" - Aaron Abke



One of our most popular guests, Aaron Abke is back on the show!



Aaron Abke is a YouTuber, Spiritual Teacher and Conscious Influencer. In this interview we discuss how he left his christian church for Jesus, and how an experience of enlightenment led him to eventually become a spiritual teacher and YouTuber. In this interview, ask him about the nature of consciousness, telepathy, the role of the physical body in spiritual growth, and he shares brand new concept of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) with us



Aaron Abke was born and raised as a Pastor’s Son in the Silicon Valley of California. He desired to work in Church Ministry like his father and went to college at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma, graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Music and Theology. He spent one year working as a full time worship pastor at a church in San Jose until eventually, at 23, he felt called to leave his religion and pursue a deeper and more authentic spirituality.



At 27 years old, Aaron had a dramatic spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life. He was working as a signed Fitness Model in San Francisco and competing at the National level in men’s bodybuilding at the time, and completely walked out of his former life to dedicate his life to seeking how to return to that state of Self-Realization permanently.



Aaron’s passion is teaching Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening with the world, and he does so today via YouTube, Social Media, MasterClasses and Workshops, primarily teaching through texts such as “A Course In Miracles” and “The Law of One”. Aaron believes that Unity Consciousness and freedom from the Ego is the next evolutionary leap for mankind and is available for anyone who truly desires it.



What you'll learn in this episode:




* How Jesus performed his miracles from a mechanics of consciousness perspective



* How collective consciousness works



* Why 3rd Density exists



* What is the difference between Lawful and Legal and what is Legal Fiction



* How to search the trades that are made with the legal fiction that shares your name




Quotes:



"Jesus' miracles are simply applying the laws of the universe" - Aaron Abke



"The only reason a high density being would incarnate here on earth is because of the high concentrations of lessons available" - Aaron Abke



"You can depolarize negativity by not resisting it" - Aaron Abke



"Language and money are the two biggest mechanisms for negative control" - Aaron Abke



"The truth of oneness is beyond the mind" - Aaron Abke

"Love is effervescent - the more you use it the more it grows! Love is always available to you, you just need to touch it. Love will transform you forever - it is your true nature" - David Verdesi



David Verdesi is a spiritual adventurer and metaphysical anthropologist. He has dedicated his life to the actualization of the individuation through applied mind training, comparing wisdom traditions and methods of askesis and its archetype through the hero’s journey, the phenomenology of human potential and altered states of consciousness.



David has met mystics, yogis, cave-dwellers, saints and genuine enlightened beings, Siddhas from the mountains and jungles of India and Xian immortals from China and Southeast Asia, the Shamans of Central and South America and Africa, the mystics and royals of old Europe, and the mysterious saints of the northern Steppes of Russia, Tibet and Mongolia.



David deeply practiced disciplines such as yoga, kung fu, pranayama, tantra, and qigong and spent several years in solitary meditations in the mountains, talking with monks, shamans and philosophers.



Simultaneously with his travels, he studied anthropology, psychology, neurobiology, quantum physics. As a scientist, he delved into each of the concepts and juxtaposed ancient practices with scientific knowledge, with the goal of adapting them to modern life. This quest led him to become the subject of the docuseries “Searching for Superhumans”.



What you'll learn in this episode:




* Learn the 5 basic elements of any spiritual practice



* David Verdesi's adventures around the world



* How David got involved with the Qi Gong Mafia



* How to cure depression



* Incredible adventure stories and miracles




Quotes



"Love is effervescent - the more you use it the more it grows! Love is always available to you, you just need to touch it. Love will transform you forever - it is your true nature" - David Verdesi



"It can take decades to really understand that love is the answer"



Discerning between correlation and causation is fundamental"



"You need to be willing to lower yourself to fill your own cup when you are learning from a master"



"Leave everything you have, change the whole context of your life, to the point you don't recognize yourself [for real transformation]"

One of Julies big missions here is to help people understand the process of transition at the end of life. She has mapped out at the 12 phases that each person goes through in the dying process. This helps people feel comfort in knowing they will never be alone.



In the second half of the episode, Julie shows off her medical scanning ability with a few examples.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* How medical scanning works* What species are Angels* How past lives impact us* What are the 12 phases of transition* How Julie became a medical intuitive* Julie's business background* What are ghosts?* When the spirit enters the body



Quotes from Julie Ryan:



"[As a serial entrepreneur], this is the first endeavor I've done without a plan. I've been led every step of the way"



"A thought that feels neutral or good is a true thought"



"Once you connect with spirit, you can do everything I can do!"



"Ghosts don't seem to know they are dead"



"The spirit is the power source of the body"



"The spirit enters the cells immediately upon conception"



"It is important to remember that nobody dies alone"



"Three questions I always ask when people are dying: Are you ready to go? Are you in Pain? What do you need?"

Today we are going to talk about some of his early work determining experimentally the basis for what became remote viewing and non local consciousness which he used to find archaealogy sites around the world. Then we will get into his remote viewing data from the year 2050 and year 2060 - where he maps the consensus trends from thousands of remote viewers about what the earth will be like in those years.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* What are the change in the world that will be here by the year 2050 and 2060: The end of the internal combustion engine, climate migration , changes in health care, changes in distribution of political power, local communities and food production, new pandemics, reduction in air travel, decline of chemical-industrial monoculture farming, rise of a new species of humans: Homo superior* What is remote viewing and non local consciousness* How Stephan got his start remote viewing in the Navy* Stephan's Archaeology remote viewing projects



Quotes



"I wouldn't do classified research for the government. I turned down large sums of money [because I believe this information should be available to everyone]" - Stephan Schwartz

"Virtue is a restraint of harmful actions and words" - Rabbi Finley



Rabbi Mordecai Finley, PhD is the worlds only Rabbi who is also a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is a self described existential counselor. In this episode, I have a wide ranging conversation with the Rabbi about a 10 year plan to end gun violence in the United State, using his model of Virtue, Rationality, and Wisdom, then we move into a discussion of the different ways to achieve connection with your soul through the practice of depth.



Rabbi Mordecai Finley is the rabbi and co-CEO of Ohr HaTorah Synagogue. He co-founded the synagogue with his wife Meirav Finley in 1993.



Rabbi Finley received his doctorate in Religion-Social Ethics from the University of Southern California. In addition to his work at Ohr HaTorah, he served as a Professor of Jewish Thought at the Academy for Jewish Religion, California Campus , where he taught Liturgy, Jewish Mysticism and Spirituality, and Professional Skills. He is former president and former provost of the AJR. He currently on hiatus from his teaching at the AJR/CA



Rabbi Finley also has a small counseling practice, where he focuses on wisdom, virtue, and managing consciousness. He specializes is interpersonal relationships. As Rabbi Finley does not do traditional psychodynamic counseling, his clients are typically short term and see results immediately if they work the teachings.



Rabbi Finley integrates into his counseling practice insights from many schools and traditions, most notably:  Philosophy, Stoic and Neo-Platonism) Jung and neo-Jungians (especially James Hillman) plus a range of modern psychological schools of thought, especially Roberto Assagiolli, William Glasser, Albert Ellis and Byron Katie. He also has background in object relations theorists as well as existential and humanist psychology.



Through his doctorate in Religion, as well as his own spiritual search, he has familiarity with other religious-spiritual traditions: Hindu (especially Patanjali and Raja Yoga), Tibetan Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and Sufi Mysticism. 



Noted for his unique teaching skills, his eloquence and ability to simply and clearly articulate truths about the human condition through teaching Bible, mysticism, Kabbalah, spirituality, and moral psychology, he has changed many people’s lives.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* Rabbi Finley and Derek come up with a 10 year plan to end gun violence in the United States* How to apply Vitue, Rationality, Wisdom, and Depth in your life* New ways to think about poetry, magic, the soul, and spiritual experiences* How martial arts relates to spirituality* How to identify your spiritual personality* The use of the will* Parenting practice and problem solving



Quotes



"Virtue is a restraint of harmful actions and words" - Rabbi Finley



"I'm interested in changing the culture of conflict with de-escalation"- Rabbi Finley



"There is no short cut to human transformation"- Rabbi Finley



"It is very un fulfilling to lead an accommodating life"- Rabbi Finley



"In a way, you have to know your spiritual personality"- Rabbi Finley

"We are building a New Earth Community. A village, healing center, and regenerative farm" - Derek Loudermilk



This solo episode of the Derek Loudermilk show will take you inside phase one of Project Avalon - a New Earth Village, Healing Center, and Regenerative farm we are building.



This is a project we have been working on for about a year now, and we are starting to visit parcels of land in person to scout locations for the village. We are looking at 100-200+ acres in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Missouri



I'll share with you the vision of the cofounders for this village project, how we are approaching buying land, building community, acquiring funding and investment, building the core team of first inhabitants, planning technological uses, governance structure and more.



The primary objective is to create a heart-centered community that prioritizes authentic relating and present moment awareness among the residents.



Personally, I'm excited about experimenting with new technologies such as free energy, vibrational and acoustic fertilizer, bioceramic geodesic buildings, plant medicines, crystal research and more.



We will be documenting the whole process here and on YouTube for you to learn and participate as we go.!



What you'll learn in this episode:



* Why we are looking at Tennessee, North Carolina, and Missouri* Why it is important to set the tone for the community before anything else* How we are are approaching funding and purchasing the land* What is the big vision for the community* How you can get involved in the project

"Earth humans have DNA from many different star systems" - Debbie Solaris



Debbie Solaris is an ET contactee, interdimensional traveler, and galactic historian. Debbie has received information over several hundred akashic records readings that allowed her to piece together a complete history of humanity in our Galaxy







Debbie had a very conventional and conservative Roman Catholic upbringing in a military family where “aliens and UFOs were just never discussed,” and what mattered was the material world in which we inhabit. After spending several years active-duty in the military, getting a Bachelor's Degree in Science, and working in the environmental field as a civilian, Debbie met her life partner who was a UFO enthusiast and introduced her to the world of extraterrestrials and the paranormal.



Then in 2012, Debbie had a couple of very intense out-of-body experiences where she found herself in the interior of a huge Arcturian mothership and saw herself interacting and communicating with Arcturian and Pleiadian extraterrestrials, the very ones she previously didn’t believe existed.



After her visits with the Arcturians onboard their ship, Debbie found that her extrasensory perception had increased exponentially and that she was getting frequent “downloads” of information, mostly on “stuff that I never knew about or would have any exposure to from my schooling during my childhood and college years. I was starting to have visions and old memories resurface about ancient galactic events, stuff that was way older than anything in Earth’s history.” Subsequent reading and research have shown these events to be viable and verifiable from other sources. 



What you'll learn in this episode:



* What is a starseed* What is the galactic history of humanity* how reading the akashic records works* What were the Draconian -Lyran Wars* What were the Orion Wars* Who are the Arcturians and what is their mission* More information about the Galactic Federation



Quotes



"There are 100,000 ET races in the galactic federation"



"Earth humans have DNA from many different star systems"



"A majority of starseeds are from the Lyran/Vegan soul group"



"Earth was designated to be a living library"

"You're not dying, you're just waking up" - Elizabeth April



I'm so excited to have Elizabeth April on the podcast! When I started having recurring dreams of crop circles and UFO's, Elizabeth April (EA) was one of the first people I found on that explained clearly and in scientific terms, what is happening with the elevation of consciousness on earth right now. People around the world trust Elizabeth's guidance and information, because she has proven to provide verifiable and uplifting information that you won't find anywhere else.



Elizabeth April does a monthly public channeling where she connects with different members of the Galactic Federation. She is equally at home discussing the nuances of quantum physics with cutting edge scientists, or helping people understand their ascension symptoms.



Elizabeth April has been featured in numerous TV series and high profile interviews, is a bestselling author of You're Not Dying, You're Just Waking Up, an Internationally renown Psychic, has a large YouTube Channel with 150,000 subscribers, and a private membership community.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* Who/what is the Galactic Federation* What is the Ascension Process of Humanity* The secret manifestation game Elizabeth did at her live retreats* The past life interaction between Derek and Elizabeth* Different ET species that EA knows* What its like inside Area 51* Why disclosure is happening at an individual level



Quotes



"You are not dying, you are just waking up" - Elizabeth April



"I want ever human to be seen and heard and not to identify each other with labels"



"Right now it is so important to live the most intentional life we can"



"Everything is attention/intention based"



'Your experiences amplify your state"



"The Galactic Federation is like the UN for the universe but not corrupt"

In 2018 Jon and his team founded Pun Pun Isaan, in Yasothorn province of northeastern Thailand. Pun Pun Isaan will be a model of how to design your farm to be sustainable by itself.

You can build things in America even cheaper than in Thailand"

"Plants are here on this planet on purpose, in symbiosis with humans" - Jamie Thornhill



Michael and Jamie Thornhill are my guests today on the podcast. Michael is returning for his second appearance and his wife Jamie also joins us! They are the founders of Casa Galactica, a retreat center in the Sacred Valley of Peru.



Michael is a curandero, professional channel, and trauma informed multidimensional healer.



Jamie is an Intuitive and Medium, which means she utilizes her multi-sensory abilities to see beyond the visible, physical world and into the subtle energies that surround us at all times.  She is also an Assistant Healer, trained in the Noya Rao lineage of Shipibo curanderismo.



In the last interview we were able to sample Michael's channeling skill, and in this interview, Jamie shares with use some of her abilities as an intuitive.



We will also go deep into understanding different types of healing and ways that people can work with plants as teachers - it doesn't have to be psychedelic.

"The trail is my teacher. My path is clear when I am out there" - Rebecca Rusch



When I saw Rebecca Rusch's Emmy-winning film, Blood Road, -about her trip to be the first person to ride the entire 1,200-mile length of the Ho Chi Minh Trail - I instantly felt connected to her, because of my time spend living in Vietnam and Laos, and because of the full spectrum of emotions she goes through on this trip, which is a quest to find the place her father's plane was shot down in the Vietnam war. This interview will go deep in to that journey and many of the other experiences that have made Rebecca an adventure and cycling hall of famer.



Rebecca Rusch is the “Queen of Pain” with a heart of gold. Whether she is on a cycling expedition in a remote part of the world or teaching others at her namesake gravel bike academy in Idaho, she inspires people to be their best with energy, positivity and passion. 



A 7x-world champion and celebrity in the ultra adventure/endurance realm for nearly 3 decades, elected to the prestigious international Mountain Bike Hall Of Fame, her status as a fierce competitor and inclusive influencer motivates millions. Recognized by Outside Magazine among the Top 40 Women Who’ve Made the Biggest Impact, and by Men’s Journal with the 25 Most Adventurous Women, she’s a maverick characterized by her grit, determination, and perseverance. 



Known for seeking the toughest challenges imaginable, pushing herself into unknown territory has yielded Rebecca a first female ascent on Yosemite’s 3000-ft. El Capitan Bermuda Dunes route, a first descent river boarding 300 miles of the entire Grand Canyon in 18 winter days.



On two wheels, she is the only female competitor to win the iconic Leadville 100 four times and has won the renowned Unbound gravel grinder in 6 of 7 attempts (including the notoriously demanding 350-mile XL). She is a two time, first female finisher at the Iditarod Trail Invitational, pedaling 350 self-supported miles through the Alaskan wilderness.  Most recently she completed a previously unattempted North to South route traversing Iceland in winter by fatback alongside Chris Burkard and Angus Morton.  



Even with all of these accolades under her belt, her inimitable brand and redoubtable resumé continue to expand. Combining ongoing athletic pursuits with entrepreneurial endeavors as CEO of Rusch Ventures, she oversees an impactful network of events, products, and experiences designed to elevate possibilities for people and their bikes.  



Whether through print like in her best-selling autobiography Rusch to Glory, or on the trail, via her popular digital platforms or even as a highly requested keynote speaker, Rebecca inspires and emboldens countless fans. Her marquee event, Rebecca's Private Idaho, is ranked a top 5 gravel event by Global Cycling Network, and one of the top 25 rides in the world by Outside magazine.

"Existence is relationships. You become you through your relationships"- Charles Eisenstein



Charles Eisenstein articulates more clearly than anyone - what is possible for humanity. He is the author of many books, including The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible and Sacred Economics. I first saw home speak when I was living in Bali, and so many people we trilled to see him in person - because he has this knack for verbalizing all the subtle thoughts running through people's minds: What is wrong with the world? How can we make it better?



This is world that is in transition between the old story of Separation and the new story of Interbeing. and our systems and structures are in flux. This conversation takes us through many of the ways that we have to navigate our changing world - as entrepreneurs, parents, spiritual beings, in relationship, as biological beings, and more.

"All working free energy devices are toroidal in nature" - Foster Gamble



Foster Gamble is the creator of the Thrive and Thrive II documentary series, which are the most viewed in history with over 94 million views. These documentaries are part of his decades long quest to find solutions that will help humanity thrive.



The good news it that Foster says we already have everything we need to thrive as a unified global family - we just need to overcome some of the things that have been holding humanity back for millenia.



In this wide ranging interview, we go deep into different types of free energy devices and how they work and when we can expect to see them available to the public. We talk about Foster's astounding experience with group meditation in the pyramids of Egypt, and the pioneering physics work of Nassim Haramein.



We also talk about some of the structures that have been in the way of humanity thriving, including projects like MK ultra, Globalism, and how governments are corrupted.



Finally, you will hear some massively positive stories about what is working and how you can contribute.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* All about Free Energy - how it works, what inventors should know, when will we see it* How pyramids work as free energy generators* How the pyramids were used to amplify human consciousness* How people can turn back from the negative polarity to the positive* How the MK ultra program works* How to build new systems and laws on the principle of non-aggression* The history of the Dragon Alliance* Who are the "White Hats" and what do they do?



Quotes



"All working free energy devices are toroidal in nature. The trick is keeping the frequency in tune" - Foster Gamble



"We already have what it takes to Thrive on this planet, its just a matter of obsoleting authority and collaborating effectively"- Foster Gamble



"Lifeforce itself wants to build whole thriving entities"- Foster Gamble



"The solutions we need already exist on planet earth"- Foster Gamble

"Love is the Quantum Entanglement that allows telepathy" - Aaron Abke



Aaron Abke is a YouTuber, Spiritual Teacher and Conscious Influencer. In this interview we discuss how he left his christian church for Jesus, and how an experience of enlightenment led him to eventually become a spiritual teacher and YouTuber. In this interview, ask him about the nature of consciousness, telepathy, the role of the physical body in spiritual growth, and he shares brand new concept of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) with us



Aaron Abke was born and raised as a Pastor’s Son in the Silicon Valley of California. He desired to work in Church Ministry like his father and went to college at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma, graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Music and Theology. He spent one year working as a full time worship pastor at a church in San Jose until eventually, at 23, he felt called to leave his religion and pursue a deeper and more authentic spirituality.



At 27 years old, Aaron had a dramatic spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life. He was working as a signed Fitness Model in San Francisco and competing at the National level in men’s bodybuilding at the time, and completely walked out of his former life to dedicate his life to seeking how to return to that state of Self-Realization permanently.



Aaron’s passion is teaching Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening with the world, and he does so today via YouTube, Social Media, MasterClasses and Workshops, primarily teaching through texts such as "A Course In Miracles" and "The Law of One". Aaron believes that Unity Consciousness and freedom from the Ego is the next evolutionary leap for mankind and is available for anyone who truly desires it.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* What are the 7 densities of consciousness* How long people live at each density* The role of the physical body in spirituality* What is mastery* The Dawkins scale of consciousness* What is unity consciousness* What is Mystical Christianity* What is the Law of One/RA ma



Quotes



"The body is a teaching device - its here for our learning" - Aaron Abke



"More than 90% of intelligent life in the universe is telepathic"- Aaron Abke



"A healthy spiritual body is of great value for spiritual seeking"- Aaron Abke



"When I left Christianity, I became even more passionate about Jesus"- Aaron Abke



"Activating the Feminine in myself accelerates the masculine"- Aaron Abke



"Mastery is the ability to generate the desired state of consciousness at will"- Aaron Abke

"Material Reality is a Byproduct of Consciousness" - Derek Loudermilk



Since 2015, I have traveled all over the world and through dimensions on a quest to understand the nature of the universe. On my journey, I have learned and experimented with more than 50 metaphysical, spiritual, and healing techniques



Here is the current list as of 2022:



* Lucid Dreaming/Dream Yoga* Astral Projection* Crystal Resonance Therapy* Became a Reiki Master* Holotropic Breathwork* Vocal Transformation* Sacred Plant Medicines (psychedelics- mushrooms, ayahuasca)* Vision Quest (4 days)* Water Fasting (8 days)* Telepathy/Animal Communication* Plant communication* Biofield Tuning* Channeling Extra Dimensional Consciousness* Past Life Regression/Soul Retrieval* EFT tapping* Created the Unified Field Manifestation Technique* Law of Attraction* Crystal Grids* Moldavite Magic* Time Travel and Time Dilation* Frequency Based Medical Devices* Sound healing* Accessing Akashic Records* Neurofeedback* High performance Hypnosis* Self Hypnosis* The Spiral Method* Somatic Trauma Release* Laughing Yoga* Crop Circles and Sacred Geometry* UFO and ET technology* ET Contact (CE5)* Authentic Relating* Human Design* Astrogoegraphy* Shamanism/non-ordinary realities* QiGong* The Vogel Method (quartz crystals)* The Bengston Method (hand-on Healing)* Tantra/Sacred Sexuality* The Path of the Dragon (adventure)* Kambo (Frog Medicine)* CranioSacral Therapy* Internal Family Systems* The presence process* Tarot/Archetypes/Hero’s Journey/Collective Consciousness* Dozens of types of meditation* Kirtan, Mantras* Sweat Lodge* Pilgrimage to Sacred Sites (Angkor Wat, StoneHenge, Tirta Gangga – Holy Water Temple, Sedona Vortexes)* Yoga* Crystal Elixirs* Ormus/Monatomic Gold* Muscle Testing/Pendulum* Sidewalk Tarot* Taoist Inner Smile Technique* Oversoul Observation (Non duality technique)



What You Will Learn in This Episode



Here are 13 fundamental principles that I have distilled down from my 57+ metaphysical experiments:



* When you are trying to do something like telepathy, telekinesis, meditation, you have to stop trying  - this was validated by my brainwave training. This works with manifesting as well. When you are applying force, it cuts off the flow.* In order to innerstand something you have to stop thinking - thinking is limiting, accessing higher knowledge is what will expand your awareness* Its all surprisingly simple* So many different healing methods work. Healing methods are not bound by space and time. The first time I encountered this was from a Cristian scientist who saw a group of people unbreak a horse's leg in the wilderness, and heal her blisters while running a marathon* All is self. * The progress of spiritual training can seem slow day to day and frustrating, but builds and builds and never goes away. A process of remembering.* Dream time is one of my favorite times* Things will fall away like drinking alcohol or watching too much tv or doing bad habits as it becomes more valuable to have pure energy etc.* There is tremendous power in just being without doing and your being ness can have a greater impact than doing* You have to let life-force flow through you - when healing, you can't try to push it out, or it will drain you.* Intention matters - in working with crystals and healing. When you want to manifest something - learn to harness the most powerful emotion positive outcome.* Think of 3D reality as a byproduct of  consciousness. As thoughts become more dense, they become solid enough for you to interact with* The brain is a filter or reducing valve for consciousness

"Memories are not stored in the brain" - Eben Alexander



Dr. Eben Alexander spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.  Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness.



In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he was driven into coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningo-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one!



Since then, Eben has been on the leading edge of NDE and consciousness research. He has written three NYT bestselling books about his experience and research: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Near-Death Experience and Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, and Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness



Since Proof of Heaven  was released in 2012, he has been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show, Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey, ABC-TV’s 20-20 and Good Morning America, FOX-TV’s FOX & Friends, and his story has been featured on the Discovery Channel and the Biography Channel. He has been interviewed for over 400 national and international radio and internet programs and podcasts.  His books are available in over 40 countries worldwide, and have been translated into over 30 languages.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* What happens after we die* What we have learned from the science of NDEs* The function of the brain and the mind* Where memories are stores* The filter theory of the brain and consciousness* the trap of materialism and separation



Quotes



"I had the feeling during my NDE that I was taken around being shown everything"- Eben Alexander



"The ego would rather see the host dead than the ego dead" - Eben Alexander



"Memories are not stored in the brain" - Eben Alexander



"The brain is a filter or reducing valve for consciousness"- Eben Alexander



"We now have tens of millions of people who have been to the other side and lived to tell the tale"- Eben Alexander



Our modern world is experiencing a collective gift of desperation"- Eben Alexander



"As a scientist, I have become much more interested in astrology"- Eben Alexander

Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one!



Since then, Eben has been on the leading edge of NDE and consciousness research. He has written three NYT bestselling books about his experience and research: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Near-Death Experience and Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, and Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness



Since Proof of Heaven  was released in 2012, he has been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show, Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey, ABC-TV’s 20-20 and Good Morning America, FOX-TV’s FOX & Friends, and his story has been featured on the Discovery Channel and the Biography Channel. He has been interviewed for over 400 national and international radio and internet programs and podcasts.  His books are available in over 40 countries worldwide, and have been translated into over 30 languages.

"Mastering your Ego is the key to the kingdom of heaven on earth" - Maryn Azoff



Maryn Azoff (Tribe of Love, Cura Cura) is a long-time singer, musician, Spirit lifter, Soul emancipator and fear crusher. She has been on a mission of connecting people all over the world to the power of the human voice for many years and does so through a unique program and healing modality she created called ‘Vocal Transformation’.



I first met Maryn through another guest on this show, Beth Weinstein (the Psychedelic Entrepreneur). I then attended Maryn's Vocal Transformation Expedition in California in Oct 2021.



The goal of Maryn's work is to reawaken the innate intelligence of the body-mind-spirit connection through the faculty of the human voice. Her approach to healing is vibrational. A true student of earth and spirit, Maryn has dedicated many years of her life to studying ancient wisdom by participating in a wide variety of healing circlesfrom many different cultures, ranging from Vedic and Tibetan wisdom traditions to South American shamanism.



In addition to working directly with private students, she also facilitates ‘Vocal Transformation’ workshops globally, as a mission to help in the awakening of humanity. The driving force behind her work is the aspiration that we can remember who we are and the power that we all have to bring about a true shift in consciousness where we all live as one on Earth.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* The origin story of the Vocal Transformation method* How to wake up your personal power* How the voice works with the law of attraction* Radical Honesty in relationship* How King Solomon used group sex magic* Maryn's superhero backstory

"What we are missing is harmony in diversity. Most of us are operating from a false premise that we need to homogenize belief" - Ben Joseph Stewart







Ben Joseph Stewart is a Filmmaker, Musician, Producer, Artist, and Father. He is the creator of DMT Quest, Esoteric Agenda, and Awake in the Darkness documentaries, and the Gaia TV shows Psychedelica and Limitless.



Ben I and I met because we were driving through Tenness to visit some friends that happened to be staying at his houseHe took it really well when we appeard in his living room unannounced.



After a while I realized I was watched some of his shows on Gaia TV. Since then we have stayed in touch with regular calls and collaborations



Today, you are going to get a range of Ben's expertise: Starting with the magic of Fascia in your body - and how it acts as a fiber optic communication system . We talk about how Ben's first film esoteric agenda went viral before YouTube existed and how that has developed all the opportunities that have since come his way over the last 9 years



We talk about conspiracy theories, belief structures and psy ops, and how to achieve harmony in diversity. As a filmmaker and storyteller, Ben explores with us how stories come to shape beliefs



At the end. of the show, Ben shares and amazing vision that he had when his wife became pregnant with their first child.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* How powerful and underappreciated the fascia in our bodies is* Why magnesium is so biologically important* How we know when ET's will make open contact* How Ben created his first documentary Esoteric Agenda that was an immediate viral hit* How to navigate conspiracy theories, psy ops, and propaganda* Why people often connect too many dots that don't belong together* How the power of story shifts beliefs



Quotes



"You intuition can tell if you are listening to it. It will give you more information if you listen"- Ben Joseph Stewart



"I don't talk about psychedelics because it is hip, but because it is a powerful tool when used correctly." - Ben Joseph Stewart



"We are immature magicians, we don't realize we manifest our own lives and co-create reality." - Ben Joseph Stewart



"Fascia can send light signals around and through muscles and organs. Fascia is just elastin, collagen, and ground substance. With improper diet, it starts to become tacky and loses its translucence" - Ben Joseph Stewart



"Massage will move the limb and it will relax you; but cranial-sacral therapy will loosen up the fascia which will have long term effects." - Ben Joseph Stewart



"I work for my self because I can't have somebody to sign me off when I could get out." - Ben Joseph Stewart



"90% of the conspiracy theory that I hear about today are just complete hogwash. I think many conspiracy theorists today are making too many illegitimate leaps of faith." - Ben Joseph Stewart"Stories can liberate or enslave." - Ben Joseph Stewart

You may have encountered the question, "What would you do if you couldn’t fail?" It's a handy coaching question that gets to the heart of what you really want



But what about asking - "What would you do if you knew you were immortal? "



So many of our problems come from avoiding something because we are afraid - afraid of snakes, afraid of public speaking - because they all potentially lead to death - but that is irrational if you remember that you are immortal.



The thing is, in this 3D reality, we often forget who we really are - infinite cosmic beings.



So many of the problems we see today: greed, division, environmental harm, rioting - all stems from the fundamental place that people are living in fear and are grasping for control



The Stoics have a phrase - Memento Mori - "Remember that you will die" and that your time in this life is limited. That is true and it is also true that matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed - so even when you die, all your material will continue.



Both science and religions tell us about reincarnation (its even in the bible!) - I'll discuss some of the science of past lives and near death experiences that help prove we are an infinite being having a human incarnation experience.



What this means to you and to the world is that we just have to remember our true nature and surrender - knowing that you wont really lose what you think you might. This will keep you from fear, and it will also keep you in a loving supportive, productive place - only then can we begin to create the future that we want.

"Once you allow confusion, you allow the mystical" - Alex Ebert



Alex Ebert is one of the most unique and brilliant artists I have ever met. He is perhaps know for his hit song 'Home' and his band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros; Alex has also won a Golden Globe for best original score for the 2013 film All is Lost.



Alex is not only an incredibly authentic musical artist, but he is also a philosopher, activist, and spiritual explorer. He produces videos on spirituality and social dilemmas on his Instagram



Our wide ranging conversation covers creativity, spirituality, racism, transgender, identity, death, rites of passage, and much more



What you'll learn in this episode:

Quotes

Having a self realization at the top and then at the very top you have transcendence of self which is the reestablishment of a collective will." -Alex Ebert* "One of the most generative things that we can experience on earth is struggle." -Alex Ebert* "As a kid, I manufactured struggle for myself; I manufactured hardship. " -Alex Ebert* "I used to tell people my un-professionalizing professionalism was my profession." -Alex Ebert* "There's more genetic differentiation within Africa amongst Africans than there is between the average African genome and the rest of the world." -Alex Ebert* "And so race, being an abstract conservatism is going to seem to have a problem with trans, because the idea of trans is that we can declare ourselves any set. The idea of trans is actually that we can declare ourselves anything." -Alex Ebert* "Racism exists; race really doesn't." -Alex Ebert* "What is technology doing? It is giving us more more capacity to create." -Alex Ebert* "People ask me if I believe that God exists, I say not yet. " -Alex Ebert* "We are addicted to overcorrection.

Are you as excited as I am? The Pentagon's UFO disclosure report is due in June 20201 



Will it just be pictures and footage of Spacecrafts or will they talk about Aliens/ET's?



Thought I would share my own UFO/ET research report to help you prepare!



I've spent the last few years watching and reading more than 300 eyewitness accounts, interviews, and insider testimony from the 1950's through the 2020's - people who have had in-person contact experiences, worked with UFO crash retrieval, secret space programs, ET autopsies, Area 51 intelligence officers, ex CIA operatives, "abductees", scientists, etc etc.



Here are the main themes that have come up over and over again from sources across decades and around the world that I will discuss in this episode:



* Different governments around the world have worked with 60+ different ET species over the last 75 years* ET's often look human like and are genetically related to Earth humans - they are our galactic brothers and sisters* 99% of ET's are benevolent and want the best possible outcome for humanity* There is an organization called the GFL - the Galactic Federation of Light - that has been supporting people on earth for thousands of years* The universe is conscious and consciousness underpins physics and reality* Antigravity, portals, free energy, and time travel are common * Telepathy is the universal language* Life is expressed in all 10+ dimension as different densities and harmonics of consciousness (earth humans are often at 3.12 to 4.1 density of consciousness)* Earth is a "Garden" and "Library" planet that has optimal conditions for diversity of life* We are in the middle of a solar system-wide consciousness upgrade event commonly referred to as ascension* Evil is only possible because it is a reflection of out level of awareness - once we shift our consciousness, it ceases to exist in our reality* To participate in this upgrade all you need to do is be a majority (51%) service to others (vs. service to self) basically you just have to be a good person* We are currently on the optimal timeline for the continued evolution of humanity in spite of negative agendas by the small % of beings that are bad actors* It important to remember that in a universe of polarity, negative entities are an equally valid form of evolution as positive* Jesus really was an expression of pure source consciousness and probably even cooler than the Bible describes* Ancient texts like the Bible and Mahabarata describe angels, giants, blue skinned gods etc. - these are just different races of ET* The things I’m most looking forward to beside oepn contact are: healing and transportation technologies, and the interplanetary exchange program

When you focus on money you are robbing yourself of 80% of the ways to experience true abundance



Abundance is “the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it”



There are 5 levels to abundance each will have its own episode for the series



* The Art and Science of Creating More Luck | 5 Levels of Abundance Part 1* 5 Levels of Abundance Part 2: Access to Better Information and Ideas* The Reciprocity of Life | 5 Levels of Abundance Part 3: Giving and Receiving* Money* Barter/Trade

In the ancient Incan concept of Ayni - translated as the reciprocity of life - you must have free flow of energy in both giving and receiving. This episode will help you figure out if you are cramping the flow of abundance in either direction and how to train yourself to open up more abundance through giving and receiving

"Disease is the last resort of suppressed emotion to have attention." -Eileen Day McKusick



Eileen Day McKusick is a researcher, inventor, writer, educator, and practitioner who has been studying the effects of audible acoustic sound on the human body since 1996.



She is the originator of a unique sound therapy method called Biofield Tuning that uses tuning forks to detect and correct distortions and static in the human biofield (human energy field/aura). She is the author of Tuning the Human Biofield: Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy. We will be talking about work from her new book: Electric Body, Electric Health



I wanted to experience a Biofield Tuning for my self, so before the interview, I had a session with Eileen's chief international trainer - Jessica Luibrand - and it healed my left hip which, has been popping for years. The amazing thing was that the session was done completely remotely! In this interview Eileen explains her hypothesis for why this works



Eileen is a natural skeptic, so she she spent year refining how she talks about the biofield and the electric universe in a way that beings it out of the woo woo and into the concrete



In this episode Eileen reveals new information that she has never shared publicly - that our electric body and our soul are one and the same!



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How Eileen discovered the human Biofield* What is the human biofield and how can we tune it for optimal health* How does biofield tuning work remotely?* What is the electric universe hypothesis and how does it explain dark matter* What it takes to create an entire new field of science* What are biophotons and how they relate to health* How breath and emotion impact our health* How blood and light spiral through our body* The electric nature of the soul



Quotes



* "At the root of every disease is emotional mismanagement"- Eileen Day McKusick* "I'd like to create a living 3D honey bee project-based business structure instead of this stupid frozen pyramid." -Eileen Day McKusick* "As a cosmological storyteller, I'm constantly widening the lense to absorb and process information." -Eileen Day McKusick* "My obsession with efficiency has enabled me to cover a lot of ground in a lot of different ways." -Eileen Day McKusick* "My job is to explore and understand the biofield. I'm willing to challenge any idea." -Eileen Day McKusick* "Almost everybody I know has their own playlist that they use to soothe or shift their mood." -Eileen Day McKusick* "440hz in water is kind of fuzzy and 442hz is much more coherent and clear." -Eileen Day McKusick* "All of life is electrical; the earth is electrical. Your soul is your electric body" -Eileen Day McKusick* "The biofield has a boundary like a bubble." -Eileen Day McKusick* "We can access the electrical system through a magnetic field; magnetic fields guide electric currents." -Eileen Day McKusick* "A body that is relaxed and breathing is going to take care of itself. Everything happening in the body is happening through light-transmission and information." -Eileen Day McKusick* "Disease is the last resort of suppressed emotion to have attention." -Eileen Day McKusick

"Real adventures start when things go wrong and the road ahead is unwritten." -Tom Williams



Do you dream of being a castaway? Tom Williams is the founder of Desert Island Survival, where he takes people to remote tropical islands, teaches them survival skills, and leaves them for several days to be castaways.



When a friend of the show - Anna Mascaro - Former guest and founder of Terracotta Travel - told me about what Tom was up to - I knew I had to have him on the show.



The first part of his trips are survival lite - what you might experience watching one of the survival TV shows, but the second half of the trips are true - stranded on a desert island with no food or shelter situations. Which can lead to some incredible experiences and profound changes



For many people that go on his trips, their lives are never the same, with their newfound confidence, connection with themselves and nature, and the reset that comes from taking care of yourself in nature.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* How to win a race to the North Pole* The key skills for surviving on a desert island* The biggest accidents that can happen on desert islands* How Tom finds the perfect goldilocks Islands to take guests* How nature heals us* What happens on a desert island survival trip



Quotes:



"During the race to the north pole, I fell asleep while walking, and fell face first into the snow."-Tom Williams



"The quickest way for me to learn about the business was to run a trip."-Tom Williams



"Real adventures start when things go wrong and the road ahead is unwritten." -Tom Williams



"We can't really do more than 4 or 5 trips on an island a year otherwise we will deplete its resources."-Tom Williams



"Looking for satellite imagery of islands is the fun part of finding a new island."-Tom Williams



"There will always be that slow expansion to tourism and we know that our islands will only be good locations for us for 5 to 15 years."-Tom Williams



"The most remote islands are still littered with plastic" -Tom Williams



"If you love what you do, it's quite easy to apply huge amounts of time to it. And success can follow."-Tom Williams



"After the north pole expedition, I suddenly had more self-worth and confidence."-Tom Williams



"You have to learn to be extremely organized for desert island trips. You can't have mistakes out there."-Tom Williams



"It's easy to give up mentally. It's very rare to give up physically." -Tom Williams



"At one point during our race to the north pole, we walked 52 hours in a snowstorm without eating" -Tom Williams



"Nature is healing: 100% of the people with tree vistas in a hospital study healed faster than those that only had a view of a brick-wall." -Tom Williams

This episode is a response to my experience in Autozone earlier this week - the manager was asking everyone in line if they or someone they knew wanted a job. He indicated that it was the unemployment pay and stimulus that kept people from coming back to work



I had heard the same thing from my fridge repairman who said he was working overtime because his friends didn't want to go back to work.



Is it really true that unemployment pay and stimulus is keeping people from working? What does this mean for the future of our economy? What do want to happen going forward?



I shared my expiernece on social media and it lead to a variety of different opinions about the effectiveness of the unemployment pay, to the transitioning nature of our workforce, and what employers would need to do to attrack employees.



In this episode I'm going to bring you several different angles and things to consider when thinking about the impacts and alternatives of unemployment pay, stimulus, and how it is shaping our (US) economy. We will also talk about the importance of psychological safety, and poverty, and how they relates to criminal behavior



What are you thoughts on unemployment and stimulus pay? What about Universal Basic Income?



Here are the stunningly good results from the Stockton Universal Basic Income experiment

Conspiracy Theories are good - Here's Why



We've all heard of Q-Anon and 911 conspiracy theories by now, leading to events like "the storming of the capital" around US election time. Many people say conspiracy theories are causing greater division and even violence - but might there be a benefit to the rise of conspiracy theories?



Here is what we will explore in this episode:



* The importance of individual discernment * The fundamental desire for system change* The majority of people hold some conspiracy theory views* The ability to hold multiple conflicting ideas at the same time* How importance of journalistic integrity* How to use curiosity instead of judgement* Large conspiracies that turned out to be true* Who benefits from attaching theorists?* How to apply Occam's razor - simplicity* Are these the systems (government, economic, medical) we really want?* The importance of freedom of expression and discourse* Some conspiracies are easy to prove

"Curiosity and Judgment cannot exist in the same person at the same time" - Jason Digges



Jason Digges is on of the leaders of the Authentic Relating movement and the author of Conflict = Energy



I love how Jason refers to Authentic Relating (AR) as a decentralized, open-source movement. Like blockchain and crypto currencies, this is a movement that is sweeping across the world at just the time it is needed - because we are dealing with the biggest mental health crisis since World War II.



After doing some authentic relating games in my business mastermind - the League of Superconductors - I knew I needed bring Jason on to the show. For my clients and for myself - these games have vastly improved my approach to relationships at all levels.



Jason's book is full of games - and it is helpful for them to be labeled as games - because it is a playful way of training emotional intelligence.



This is the most fun and accessible process of learning to understand our emotions and internal experience, and also to grow personally within relationship with other people



If you want to improve your mental health, your relationships, be a visionary leader, heal conflicts, and express yourself better than ever before, this is the podcast episode for you!



What you'll learn in this episode



* Some of the top Authentic Relating Games* How to be a visionary leader* How to create relationships after you leave school* How to translate our emotions into language we can understand* How to harness the energy of conflict* Levels of Ninja listening skills* Why giving advice creates emotional disconnect* How Authentic Relating can fill the gap in your personal growth work



Quotes:



"Curiosity and Judgment cannot exist in the same person at the same time" - Jason Digges



"I had painful social anxiety. I couldn't even speak to 4-5 people at a time. But then 6 months later, after practicing authentic relating, I'm leading events with 30 people."- Jason Digges



"Emotionally intelligent - What does that mean? We are in touch and in tune with our bodies and our emotions and we can actually interpret the signals."- Jason Digges



"Listening can heal any conflict. Listening is about linking our nervous systems together" - Jason Digges



"When people learn Authentic Relating, they are able to ask for what they want in life" - Jason Digges



"Because of the Pandemic, this is the greatest loss of mental and emotional health since World War II."- Jason Digges



"The pace of our minds, careers, technology, and society is fast. If we don't have the ability to downshift, we're going to have negative impact in our relationships."- Jason Digges

In January of 2021, I did a month long experiment where I did Reiki every day before or after my workouts, and at night before bed. I noticed Improved recovery, sleep, and reduced muscle soreness after hard cycling and plyometric workouts. This episode details my experience.



One month before, I had gotten my first Reiki attunement and I need practice everyday to learn how to use it, and I love applying healing techniques to performance enhancement



What is Reiki? From the Cleveland Clinic "Reiki is hands-on natural healing using the universal life force energy. the term comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki, an abundant, gentle spiritual energy is not tied to any specific religion or nationality."



There have only been a few studies on sports performance and Reiki - mostly focusing on healing from injury and stress management.



I'd really like to see an 8 week study in well trained endurance athletes or weight lifters so we can see have some statistically significant results

"Meditation is Activism!"-Dawson Church



Dawson Church is the author of Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality, and the #1 book I recommended in 2019.



I'm thrilled to have him on the show today, because he is truly a legend - not just from his research and science communication, but from his altruistic drive to get therapies that work quickly into the hands of the people who need it them most.



Dawson is a pioneer in studying and promoting EFT tapping / Emotional Freedom Technique and brought it to tens of thousands of veterans suffering from PTSD a decade before it was officially used in the VA hospital system



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How Dawson Invented ECO meditation and the science behind it* Why EFT tapping is so powerful* Why it is so important to master your thoughts (Your life depends on it!)* How science deals with unexplored phenomenon* The science of how the minds of the great saints works* How to tune your consciousness to non local mind* The power of flow states* The power of belief to impact your happiness



Quotes



"You are five times as productive and 497% better at solving complicated problems in the flow state" -Dawson Church



"Meditation is Activism!"-Dawson Church



"As you shift your resonance, you can attract people and circumstances that reflect your level or resonance." -Dawson Church



"When I made the commitment to mediate daily, I found very rapidly that meditation shaped my life, I then learned energy psychology, energy therapies, and rapid resolutions of problems I'd had for a long time." -Dawson Church



"The cool thing about today is we now can park St. Teresa of Avila, or St. Francis, or Ramana Maharshi inside an MRI, and we can map their brainwave and map exactly which brain regions are active." -Dawson Church



"I WAS the gold medal winner for the world's worst meditator. I spent years to try and meditate and not being successful with it." -Dawson Church



"That's the beauty of science. Science is now giving us these tools to acquire these [transcendant] states, practice them, and produce very rapid brain remodeling as a result." -Dawson Church



"Science has made me aware of the immense power of positive and negative thinking." -Dawson Church



"You can't afford one negative thought." -Dawson Church



"A lot of [scientific] fields are newly discovered and not yet thoroughly researched." -Dawson Church



"We tend to believe very much in a medicine that we can see and touch and taste and get prescribed by a doctor." -Dawson Church



"Energy has this direct effect on our cells and all the world around us." -Dawson Church



"The gap in science right now is belief." -Dawson Church

"What you believe is not that important. What matters is tuning in to the sense of mystery and wonder of life." - Dara Molloy



Dara Molloy is a Celtic Druid, Monk and Preist, and the author of the Globalization of God. Dara is perhaps the only living Celtic Druid, and lives in a small community on the Aran Islands, west of the Irish mainland



Dara was formerly a priest in the Catholic Church, and made a big splash nationally in Ireland when he left the church. In this episode we talk about the synchronistic events that led him to becoming a druid.



Of course, I had to ask him about fairies, Leprechauns, stone circles, magical places - all the things I think of when I think about Ireland and Celtic Druids!



We also talk about his work and research into the Catholic church's invention of globalization, and how that has impacted everything from spirituality to biodiversity



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How the catholic church invented globalization and was the worlds first multinational corporation* The 3 synchronicities that happened so that Dara could leave the church and become a Celtic monk and druid* The history of Celtic spirituality* The importance of adventure in the life of Celtic Monks* His thoughts on magical beings and magical places* How religious institutions stifle spirituality* What Dara would do to improve the school system



Quotes:



"Ireland itself is magical even for Irish people." - Dara Molloy



"Religions have clouded our search for spirituality" - Dara Molloy



"If you listen carefully and put all distractions out of your mind, you can come a way with an ability to describe how you felt in a place. " - Dara Molloy



"I didn't need the church to tell me that I was on the right path, because I knew this was what my life was meant to be." - Dara Molloy



"The magic in your life is the intrusion of something greater than yourself." - Dara Molloy



"What you believe is not that important. What matters is tuning in to the sense of mystery and wonder of life." - Dara Molloy



"Belief is not fact. Therefore it's something that you choose to believe." - Dara Molloy

How to Be Unstoppable



My friend and master coach David Wood is back on the podcast for a collaborative episode - we both host podcasts and decided to interview each other for this episode around the theme of being unstoppable.



We talk about the times in our life where we were unstoppable in achieveing our goals and deconstruct the frameworks for what we were doing at those times that we werent doing at other times when we didn't quite succeed



The difference between being unstoppable and being just good enough can seem small but make a huge difference when it comes to actually achieving your life biggest goals.



Last fall I was out visiting David at his home in Colorado and we spend several evenings talking about leadership, success, tough conversations, focus, our own life lessons - and we knew we had to get some of this stuff out of our heads and onto podcasts! This is the 3rd such episode to come from that trip.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* David Wood's 6 "C's" of being unstoppable* The difference between A goals and B goals* The most common mistakes that stop people from achieving their dreams* The 5 steps to focus* Understanding Shiny Object Syndrome







Quotes



"Mindset is critical. Your life is as good as your mindset." - David Wood



"Let's not stop at the first, second, or third time that life gets hard." - David Wood



"It takes one to tango. It take one person to guarantee communication." - David Wood



"There are a lot of information available. It's not just the thinking, there's an emotional being that may be sensational." - David Wood



"When you're not playing the A Game; if you're just setting normal goals, [mistakes] don't matter." - David Wood



"Here's one mistake: to not have goals." - David Wood



"Another mistake: to lose the thread of connection between your goals and your daily actions" - David Wood

Today's Guest is Jason Garner, who I connected with immediately because of his authenticity, insight, and passion about the state of the world. Lots of people have been calling on Jason for guidance, and you will see why in this interview.



Jason is a husband and father, he spent the first 37 years of his life working his way up from flea market parking attendant to former executive CEO of Global Music at Live Nation —never taking a breath in the belief that to be loved he had to be the best.



He has worked with rock stars and sports legends and was twice named to Fortune magazine’s list of the top 20 highest-paid executives under 40.



A series of events centering on the sudden death of his mother from cancer caused him to re-evaluate what really mattered in life…and to finally breathe.



He has spent thousands of hours sitting cross-legged at the feet of timeless Masters of mind, body and spirit including learning from the monks at the Shaolin Temple in China. 



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* The special powers of the musical artist to sense the collective* How the death of his mother changed his life trajectory* How and why he achieved his business success early in life* A special story about Enrique Iglesias



Quotes



"Most of us will not wake up without being shaken up" - Jason Garner



"It's time to write when something punches me in the heart and I know I have to share it" - Jason Garner



"I was at the Shaolin Temple and couldn't figure out how I got there"- Jason Garner



"I wish that somewhere along the line someone had told me that 'You're making a human'. Because that's much different than 'making my kid'. There's selfishness in 'making my kid' and there's a service in 'making a human." - Jason Garner



"It's okay to miss the little version of [your children], while also being supportive and proud of what they are growing in to." - Jason Garner



"If everyday we focus on moving the ball down the field into some degree, you wake up at the end of the year pretty proud of what you accomplished." - Jason Garner



"I have scored a lot of points; I don't think of hitting homeruns very much because the striking-out in the real world is a very painful and costly experience" - Jason Garner



"Life just keeps pulling the rag from underneath you." - Jason Garner



"The miracle is not walking on water. It's walking on the earth." - Jason Garner



"Artists are really attuned. And they are also very attuned to pain because what is being expressed through art is a way of asking 'Do you love me now?'" - Jason Garner



"Some people say 'We're on the same boat', that's not true. Some of us have bigger, nicer boats. Some people have no boats. We are in this ocean together."- Jason Garner



"Feels to me that the most important thing that has to be addressed is our own hearts. All of us." - Jason Garner



"Meditation is a practice of intimacy, not this violent doing that we try 'I need to clear my mind' or 'I need to experience emptiness'. " - Jason Garner



"Listening is important but we need to train ourselves to get quiet enough to know what you're listening to." - Jason Garner

Dreamtime is one of the most powerful tools I teach my clients for growing their business.



Using nightly dreamtime can be your secret weapon to making more money, having better relationships, creative problem solving, decision making, healing yourself, or faster manifestations.



I've been using dreamtime for the last 5 years - initially to be able to go on adventures even while I couldn't travel (because I was about to be a new dad)



The global pandemic has enhance the powers of dreamtime because so many more people are sharing the same experience - it amplifies the collective unconscious



I've had some amazing insights from dreams - which house to buy, which employee to hire, even co- dreaming with my son



I've even had friends go on dates after guidance I got in dreamtime

]]>5120falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-minute-friday-it-s-easier-to-be-epic-than-average--52755281







It's easier to be epic than it is to be average.



I
want to tell you that it is easier to be world class, it's easier to do big,
challenging, and amazing things than it is to simply be average.



Look
at people like Richard Branson. They jump out of an airplane before breakfast,
and then they make a billion dollars. They make it look fun and easy- that
could be what it would be like for you too!



Because of our school system, we are all trained to simply know how it takes to pass. As a result, you think inside of the box- one that was set by other people for you. Until you start thinking outside the box, you'll never start thinking outside of the box.



When
you start thinking bigger and taking on much bigger challenges, you're going to
get the fire and motivation inside your belly. You are going to get so much
momentum.



You
will start seeing things happening, things that you never would have expected
to happen if you stayed with the normal, average course.



"The universe is conspiring to help you." - Paulo Coelho







Take for example, Oliver White. He is a fishing guy who, all of a sudden, decided that he wanted to explore rivers and fish that have never been caught by fly fishing before. Not only that, he wanted to teach the local people how to create a sustainable lodge and a fishing industry for themselves. Nobody has ever thought of doing that before! But now, he is featured all over media. People are behind his mission, and he created so much momentum.



There
was a time I wanted to raise money for my birthday, so I approached the
organizers of a local mansion party. I told them that I wanted them to host
this party for me and raise money for charity. They said yes, and it was the
biggest party that they had ever thrown, and the most successful for all of us.




As soon as you start thinking unreasonably - outside the box - amazing things start happening for you. While everybody else is competing for the same average slice of pie.



My
friend Chase Boehringer just set the world
record for highest motorcycle. He had more than 75 people and businesses who
sponsored this expedition. He asked them for help, and they were on board. They
were excited to support this big, world record project.



How can you start thinking bigger?



If you have been thinking average your whole life, start with this line of thinking:



* What would I do if I had the support of celebrities, or billionaires, or all my friends? * What would I do if I knew that I couldn't fail? * What would I do if somebody gave me a hundred million dollars to make this thing a reality? * What would I do if I stopped being reasonable?



It takes some time to change your thinking. It takes time asking the right questions to open your thinking. It's a creative process. Even then when you come up with a big, exciting, scary, audacious idea, your ego is going to tell you not to do it to try to keep you safe.



The Australians have this thing called "tall poppy syndrome". It's going to tell you not to grow above the crowd or you will get chopped off. Keep your head down, work hard, and stay in your lane.



This is backwards thinking - we all know people who work hard for a long time and have anything to show for it.

It's easier to be epic than it is to be average.



I
want to tell you that it is easier to be world class, it's easier to do big,
challenging, and amazing things than it is to simply be average.



Look
at people like Richard Branson. They jump out of an airplane before breakfast,
and then they make a billion dollars. They make it look fun and easy- that
could be what it would be like for you too!



Because of our school system, we are all trained to simply know how it takes to pass. As a result, you think inside of the box- one that was set by other people for you. Until you start thinking outside the box, you'll never start thinking outside of the box.



When
you start thinking bigger and taking on much bigger challenges, you're going to
get the fire and motivation inside your belly. You are going to get so much
momentum.



You
will start seeing things happening, things that you never would have expected
to happen if you stayed with the normal, average course.



"The universe is conspiring to help you." - Paulo Coelho







Take for example, Oliver White. He is a fishing guy who, all of a sudden, decided that he wanted to explore rivers and fish that have never been caught by fly fishing before. Not only that, he wanted to teach the local people how to create a sustainable lodge and a fishing industry for themselves. Nobody has ever thought of doing that before! But now, he is featured all over media. People are behind his mission, and he created so much momentum.



There
was a time I wanted to raise money for my birthday, so I approached the
organizers of a local mansion party. I told them that I wanted them to host
this party for me and raise money for charity. They said yes, and it was the
biggest party that they had ever thrown, and the most successful for all of us.




As soon as you start thinking unreasonably - outside the box - amazing things start happening for you. While everybody else is competing for the same average slice of pie.



My
friend Chase Boehringer just set the world
record for highest motorcycle. He had more than 75 people and businesses who
sponsored this expedition. He asked them for help, and they were on board. They
were excited to support this big, world record project.



How can you start thinking bigger?



If you have been thinking average your whole life, start with this line of thinking:



* What would I do if I had the support of celebrities, or billionaires, or all my friends? * What would I do if I knew that I couldn't fail? * What would I do if somebody gave me a hundred million dollars to make this thing a reality? * What would I do if I stopped being reasonable?

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast
is the athlete, kayaker, author, and businesswoman, Darcy Gaechter. Darcy is
the first woman to kayak the Amazon source to sea. She shares this great
adventure in her book, Amazon
Woman.



In this episode, Darcy shares how she got into
kayaking and where her constant “yes” to whatever she is offered has brought
her. She tells us how she started- from her business, getting fired from it,
and eventually getting back, to her taking the alternative path and finding true
happiness in kayaking at the same time breaking free from the pressure of conformity.



Darcy
gets to share with us her the struggles and preparation leading to their
148-day epic adventure kayaking through Amazon with her boyfriend Don and their
client, Midge, who himself has an interesting background. Darcy also tells us
how writing the book was the hard part, and she gives us insights as to why this
was so.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* What
is it that allowed Darcy to keep choosing what she wants to do versus what
other people are expecting.* Where
Darcy gets her drive from.* What
it was like for Darcy growing up.* Whether
Darcy’s identity changed the way she sees herself.* What
led Darcy to stick to kayaking and her relationship with this potentially lethal
sport.* What
it was like writing her book* How
Darcy’s trip to the Amazon changed her life.



Quotes:



* “Part
of this whole process for me was trying to force myself to be comfortable with
my life because I am happy about it and my only unhappiness from my life
choices stems from what I perceive to be other people's judgments of it and so
I have been making a real effort not to worry about them.” – Darcy Gaechter* “I
prioritize my own happiness.” – Darcy Gaechter* “If
you know what you want, you should consider yourself lucky.” – Darcy Gaechter* “Really
asking yourself what do I want is super important.” – Darcy Gaechter* “Just
really working hard on finding peace with what you want to do and chasing after
it, is going to be the most fulfilling way to go through life because if you do
everything you are supposed to do and at the end of the day realize that you
didn't do one thing that you wanted, it's not going to make for a happier
fulfilling life.” – Darcy Gaechter* “At
the end of the line, if I can say like I follow my true path even though I let
others down because I didn't do what they expected I would do, I think I would
be happier for it.” – Darcy Gaechter * “I
encourage you to figure out what it is that you want and chase after it at all
costs” – Darcy Gaechter

fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/jackie-van-campen-channeling-the-beings-of-light--52755285



Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the channel and medium, Jackie Van Campen. As a medium, Jackie can talk with those who have transitioned over, or who have passed on. As a channel, she gets information from beings from higher dimensions.



Jackie also happens to be my cousin-in-law. We were sitting next to each other at a family reunion recently and I got really excited about her work as a channel and wanted to bring that experience to you!



In this episode, we dig into the world of channeling. To those who are unfamiliar, the practice of channeling is when a person’s voice/mind/body is allowed to be a vehicle for another conscious being - in Jackie’s case, Beings of Light, for the purpose of communication.



Here, Jackie takes us through an actual channeling and you to experience it with her. We get to listen to the message about stepping up, finding our purpose and doing our part, and the value of empathy towards others.



If
you haven’t experienced channeling, then this is going to open your eyes to a
new world of possibility.



This
is a very fascinating episode. In the first half, Jackie will walk us through
what it was like for her to start experiencing channeling and how she accepted
that these other beings are able to interact with and speak through her. In the
second half, we are going to hear Jackie go into her channeling state.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How
Jackie describes channeling.* How
Jackie began channeling and what her influences were that led to her channeling.* The
ways to learn channeling and how many people out there are also channeling.* What
happens when Jackie channels.* What
it is like to be the person who is channeling.* A
message and conversation with the Beings of Light that Jackie channels.



Quotes:



* “I
think we all have this ability, it’s just a matter of, are we open to allow our
self to channel.” – Jackie Van Campen



* “Become curious about your role. What are you being asked to do at this time? Sit with this question every day.” - The Beings of Light* “This is an opportune time to step up and to stand in your power.” - The Beings of Light* “Let go of your small thinking. Let go of the fear that you are not enough to make a difference.” - The Beings of Light* “The ultimate truth is that human beings are being called to dispel the cloak they’ve been wearing, the cloak that keeps them hidden from their own potentiality.” - The Beings of Light* “It is important to be aware of what is to come so that you can position yourself in ways to help your fellow human beings.” - The Beings of Light

We
are celebrating Episode 300!



When I first started this podcast, I said I was going to make 300 episodes. Now, it has been about six years, and I can hardly believe that it's finally here!



What I have Learned From 300 Episodes



My
identity and the identity of this podcast have been intertwined when I first
came up with the name, The Art of Adventure. It started with the blog. I
talked about it with people and they started associating me as "Mr.
Adventure". That forced me to become more adventurous.



This
show has evolved and progressed. Back when I started, I was trying to learn how
to travel the world, live abroad, and earn a living- basically live a life
of adventure. The podcast started with me, interviewing my friends, and
eventually developed a cohesive model and created a well-defined show with
guests who talk about adventure, metaphysics, peak performance, and business.



In
the beginning, I did not really know how to interview, how to produce a
podcast, and how to find the right guest. I had to learn as I went. If
you track the changes in the world and the changes in my life, and you overlay
that on the podcast, there are all these different phases of life that I
experienced while we had this continuity of a podcast through 300 episodes. You
might be able to see where I'm coming from as the host, in what questions I ask,
and the kind of guests I'm bringing on the show.



What
is cool is that I don't really know what I'd get from these podcasts. I have
taken so many ideas from guests. I am now a business coach, because of the
influence I had from a guest. From a cycling coach, to a podcast coach, I
finally decided on expanding to be a business coach. A guest also suggested
that I turn the ideas I get from the podcast and turn them into a book, which,
eventually became the Superconductors. Right now, I am working on a book with
adventure stories, taking some of the greatest and wildest adventure stories
from the podcast. I have grown my Instagram account from ideas I got from
guests, too. I also learned to ask more and more audacious things and make
"unreasonable requests" in asking for big things.



These
guests have brought so many ideas that I have incorporated in my life, travels,
business, family, and relationships. It has been such an amazing access point,
as the host. I hope it has been as well, for you, because when you apply these
ideas, such big and dramatic things happen for you and your life. The really
important part is that you don't have to get it perfect, but you do need
to go and try it. You can learn these concepts, but until you go and
try using them, you don't really know the knowledge, or understand how
everything works.



Right
until you go through the experience, you can't ever know what it's like until
you do it.



Now
I can say, I'm a podcaster and I’m not planning on stopping. This is one of the
best parts of my business and of my life. I am motivated to continue improving
the show and getting these guests on. I want to take this a step further and
look at what kind of collaborations and win-win scenarios I can create with my
guests. Most of my guests have some mission trying to make the world a better
place in their own unique way. If we approach with the idea of how can we
co-create together and look at creating win-win scenarios, then I think that is

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is a spiritual business coach, and my good friend, Beth Weinstein. Beth is of the leaders in the world of plant medicine and psychedelics - and how we can use these to anhance our lives and business. She is the founder of the groundbreaking conference, “Psychedelics, Sacred Medicines, and Purpose”, along with the world experts on the field.



In
this episode, Beth talks about the huge exploding potential and rebirth of
psychedelics. She shares how she was able to start talking more publicly about
her trips and experiences and get to freely share about the medicine path. She
also dives into how she helps people utilize her spiritual knowledge and
experiences for their business growth.



Beth
will also take us through her personal journey – how she first became an
entrepreneur. She was in the design world, and her first business had nothing
to do with coaching at all! Beth is a great storyteller and you are going to
love her perspective on how her life and career progressed and evolved as she

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the amazing storyteller and master speaker, my friend and returning guest, Garrison Cohen.



Speeches and stories can be judged by the impact they make on their audience. Garrison helps his clients stand on stage and feel the power of their truth - and speak in a way that other people can see and receive that powerful message. Garrison works with CEOs to craft speeches that really capture who they are, why they are doing what they are doing, how they see their work is impacting the world in a positive way.



In this episode, Garrison takes me through part of his process - asking questions, as he digs into better ways that I could tell my origin story. Garrison creates stories with such depth and he also brings a team of so many experts who assist in this story-telling process, which is completely unique. Garrison has created a whole system which can be used not just for speaking but can also be applicable to many entrepreneurs, marketers, and thought leaders.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* Garrison’s first public speaking experience.* How Garrison created his business. * How Garrison's business is structured around helping people create better stories. * How to tap into who you are to effectively convey your personal story.* Garrison’s Rocketship system.* The skills required and what it takes to be a good speaker



Quotes:



* “I realized I had the ability to tell someone’s story far better than they ever could.” – Garrison Cohen * “It takes all the stepping stones that we’ve traversed in our lives that brings us up to who we are now and illuminate them in a way that allows us to see what our path has been. It allows us to see where we came from, where we are, what got us there, and who life is designing us to be.” – Garrison Cohen* “What better adventure could you possibly have than speaking who you want to BE into existence.” – Garrison Cohen* “The answer is not to add more things to who you are, but it is about letting go of more things in the way of who you are.” – Garrison Cohen* “It’s not about being the best, most proficient speaker in the world. It is about knowing how to speak from the deepest level of authenticity of yourself. And that’s actually what makes some of the best speeches ever.” – Garrison Cohen

Today’s
guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the astrologer, teacher, and
sojourner, Dara Dubinet. Here, Dara talks about astrogeography or
astrocartography – the astrology of a place on the planet. Dara also shares
about the north node and how you can find your purpose in life by learning
about it.



Dara
explains that each person has their own astrology. Wherever the planets are,
they affect us at the moment of our birth. These astrological bodies also
affect us wherever we are. Intuitively, there are times that you don’t want to
go to a certain place. With the study of your own astrogeography, you will
understand why you have that feeling. Conversely, you will also understand why
you always dream of going somewhere. Now you know that a certain place holds a specific
energy for you.



In
this episode, Dara reads my astrogeography. Through this, she will enlighten us
that each person has his or her own astrology and when combined with your exact
location on the planet, you are going to experience a different set of
vibrations. It is actually a map or record of what you would be experiencing as
you pass through different fields on the planet.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* How
astrology works and the science of astrology* An
introduction on astrogeography and how it works* How
we are affected by astrology and our specific location* What
the north node is* The
application of astrogeography on the things that you want to achieve

Today’s Interview on the Art of Adventure podcast is part of our series on cutting edge modalities, health metaphysics, and peak performance. Our guest is the founder of the Neurotherapy Center of St. Louis, Dr. Ashley Wiegand. According to Dr. Wiegand, her brain-based approach on counselling addresses the underlying biological patterns related to the individual’s concerns, while also looking at habits, perception, and interpersonal environment.



Dr.
Wiegand uses the specialized treatments of biofeedback and neurofeedback to
help shift away from stuck patterns towards better functioning, growth, and
change. Neurofeedback can be used for performance enhancement in healthy individuals,
but it can also be used for dealing with dysfunctions like PTSD, anxiety, and EDD.
It basically helps your brain spend more time in a desired state.



In
this episode, you’ll hear about my experience with Dr. Wiegand because I
recently went to have a visit with her. We picked a protocol that I could use
to enhance my performance. Right now, we are in a point where we are starting
to understand the brain more and we are developing this technology in
monitoring the brainwave activity and being able to pinpoint what’s going on in
there.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* What neurofeedback and biofeedback are* The exact protocol we used when I was in Doctor Wiegand’s laboratory.* What my experience was with neurofeedback and the results* How you can apply and take advantage of neurofeedback and biofeedback * How to achieve peak potential, push your limits, and optimize your brain, applying this modality



Quotes:



*  "Neurofeedback will help you shift into a state as desired" - Dr. Ashley Wiegand* "Fire flickers in a delta frequency - that is why it is so calming" - Dr. Ashley Wiegand

This is the story of what I learned from
getting caught in a snowstorm when things could have gone seriously wrong.



The sun has just set, it’s a snowstorm. We’re
at 10,000 feet, it’s getting dark, the snow is sticking to our skis. We don’t
have a map and we were still several miles from the fire tower that we are supposed
to be staying for the night. We are in the middle of the Montana wilderness and
we have just dug ourselves out of another hole because we have fallen off the
trail into neck-deep snow.



This was about ten years ago in Montana and
the reason we were caught in this situation in the first place was because of a
comedy of errors. They say accidents don’t happen because of one mistake, but
it is usually a series of little mistakes that lead to a big catastrophe. We
were very close to a big catastrophe!



We had to drive a couple of hours into the
mountains. We rented skis and found that they had given us two right boots. It
was far too late to head back to town to return the boots and come back to the
trail head and head to the fire tower.



We were committed to making it to the fire
tower so we decided to go ahead with the mismatched boots. We took the 15-mile
route to the mountains. Everything started off great.



When you are in shape and a seasoned outdoor
person, sometimes you overestimate your abilities and you don’t come prepared.
I was not prepared! We didn’t have a map and we had the wrong equipment. I far
overestimated our ability to get to the top. I estimated, three to four hours,
with breaks, to get up there. But, after six hours, we were still halfway! We
also knew that the fire road was going to end and we were going to have to do
the last three miles across open terrain to get to this fire tower.



This perfect storm of bad things started
happening. One, the snow was coming down. It was causing our skis to become
sticky with snow. All of a sudden, the skis became heavy. So, we had to take them
off and walked on the snow but it was not a good solution. We slowed down to
one mile an hour. The sun was setting and we couldn’t see the trail anymore. Luckily,
snowmobilers had gone and packed down the surface of the snow a week or a day
prior. So if we stayed within this narrow three-foot wide path, we wouldn’t
collapse down into the snow. And if we took one step off, we’d fall down into
this deep powder, which was exhausting. It was very treacherous. It was very dark,
and things were getting really dicey.



Here’s what was going through my head that
time: whenever I would think about getting stuck out there, we could build a
snow cave or we could just wait it out until morning. Or what happens if one of
us gets injured, or if we would run out of food and water? I was starting to
get worried. So, I forced myself to not worry. It helped showcase my thought
pattern in a really treacherous situation.



I often refer back to this thought patterns when
I am testing myself and taking risks, whether in business, or socially. I’m
thinking back on that really tough physical challenging situation. I knew that
I was fit and well-trained as an athlete, so I was confident that my body could
keep going if only I could manage my energy well and I kept a positive
attitude. So I was consciously directing my thoughts to keep myself in the
present moment and that really was just keeping one foot after the other trying
to stay on this little trail.

Today,
on the Art of Adventure podcast, we have a returning guest, the professional
adventurer and founder of The Bucketlist Lifestyle,
Chase Boehringer.



In
this episode, Chase gets to share the full story of his adventure on how he
went on to break another Guinness world record in Chile. He takes us through
the entire process of what it took him to set this world record – from the
beginning, when he was keeping it a secret, up to the final push, plus all the
crazy stuff in between. It was a true test of resourcefulness for him.



As
a kid, Chase loved motorcycles. Growing up, he discovered his passion for
travel. Travelling and motorcycles therefore were two of his most favorite
things in the world, so he found it really fitting to embark on this adventure.
He initially thought it was going to be easy, but after getting the permit and
gear, 30 days before the trip, he still had nothing he really needed! It was
not looking good. Still, he had a deep knowing that it would really work out. He
asked for help from friends and their connections, and in the next two weeks, he
was set!



Today,
we celebrate with Chase as just days ago, Guinness confirmed that he now holds
the world record for highest altitude by stock motorcycle at 19,324 feet on the
world’s highest volcano.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* Chase’s
adventure trips* Why
Chase decided to attempt to break another world record* Why
Chase initially kept everything a secret* How
Chase prepared for the journey* Chase’s
resourcefulness in finding the right connections to support him in his attempt
at the world record



Quotes:



*  "I asked at least 75 people for help to make this expedition happen" - Chase Boehringer* "There was no option - either ask for help or not make it"- Chase Boehringer* "If you are not 100% excited about what you are doing, you will fail"- Chase Boehringer* "Self esteem comes from doing the hard thing"- Chase Boehringer* "Pain, suffering, and failure are the greatest things to happen to a young person"- Chase Boehringer

]]>3891falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/david-mauro-the-altitude-journals-from-his-lowest-point-in-life-to-the-highest-point-on-earth--52755330



Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is an avid journaller, comedian, writer, and mountaineer, David Mauro. During his adventures climbing the seven summits, David kept daily journals. A compilation of his journals eventually led to his fun and quirky book, The Altitude Journals. The way he puts it, it is a seven-year journey from the lowest point in his life to the highest point on earth.



David has summited all the Seven Summits but
does not really consider himself a climber. He was not born a mountaineer. Interestingly,
David is a financial planner and he used to be part of a comedy improv where he
has worked with some of the best in the business. David also shares about how a
recurring dream had led him to a great decision in his life.



In this episode, and in his book too, David’s storytelling
is well woven, and you will get to see the quirky comedy writer that he is. You
will also get to learn deep life lessons from a mountaineer who has climbed all
the tallest mountains and how David sends a message that we should all find joy
in the little things.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* David talks about relationships with yourself
and with others* David’s view on love and nature* How setting goals and thinking about these and
being in the moment can affect you* How to deal with risk and pain* How David started his climbing adventures and eventually
writing his book



Quotes:



“Fear of failure holds us back in a lot of
things, big or small, all throughout your life.” – David Mauro



“When you literally feel that you have nothing
left to lose, you are bulletproof!” – David Mauro



“You have to go into the experience with an
open mind and heart and jus trust that it will make sense at some point.” –
David Mauro



“Love is not a creation of the man-made world;
it is a creation of nature and you’ve got to play by nature’s rules. Which
means, if you are going to experience the fullness of beauty or love, you’re
going to have to accept personal risks.” – David Mauro



“Nature says that the return is commensurate
with the risk. And if you risk yourself completely, the reward will be on a
scale that is unimaginable.” – David Mauro



“Sometimes it takes someone outside the
problem to understand it.” – David Mauro



“Shared experiences are the most valuable.” –
David Mauro

]]>3605truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/can-you-make-a-reality-distortion-field-like-steve-jobs-five-minute-friday--52755292 In
this Friday’s episode, we are going to talk about Steve Jobs' reality distortion
field and how you can have one too.







I just finished reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs and there is a lot in there about the latter’s reality distortion field. Jobs used this to credit for his whole career. People would try to fight against it but will ultimately succumb to this. Basically, he would convince people through whatever means – his charisma, force of will, strong emotion, conviction – that whatever it was that they thought was impossible was actually possible. As one of the first Apple employees said, in Steve's presence, reality is malleable.



Let's
look at this this way: you are in your own reality distortion field right
now. We all are a product our beliefs about reality. For example, if you
think you are no good in social situations, then that is likely the reality you
are going to experience. On the other hand, if you see yourself as a leader,
then you're probably going to be a leader. That will confirm that reality or
beliefs create self-fulfilling prophecies in reality distortion field.



Now let us think on a bigger level – things that were previously impossible are now possible, like me, breaking the two-hour marathon, or free-soloing at El Capitan. Both these physical feats happened in the last couple of years. Amazing, right? They were never possible before but they are now.



When Steve Jobs was  creating the iPhone, and he was talking to Corning, the makers of the Gorilla Glass, that is the screen for the iPhone. They said, there is no way that they will be able to reconfigure their factories in order to make the screens in time for him. Also, the early Apple employees said that there was no way they could create the Macintosh software in two months. However, Jobs held such strong reality for them, that those things were possible. He was sometimes compassionate about it, saying that it was okay, that he knows that they are afraid, but they can do it. And then guess what? They go and actually do it!



A
lot of times, I think people say something is impossible because they don't
know or have never done it. That is not necessarily proof that something is
impossible. Partly, Jobs was pushing people to be their best.



So,
the takeaway from today, aside from the interesting facts you’ll get to hear about
quantum physics, is that reality is based in your beliefs. You
can create your own reality distortion field about what is possible, and, over
time, you can grow and gain the skills you need. You can make reality happen
even if it has never happened before. You can distort your own reality based on
your beliefs so that you can become the type of person who can do something
that you previously thought was impossible.

]]>325truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/dealing-with-fear-five-minute-friday--52755364 Today’s
episode of the Five-Minute Friday is for those who are trying to do something
big and exciting in the world.







Often, I encounter people who are running in to fear when they are deciding to do something big. When they commit to do a project, fear sets in. It could either be the fear of success or the fear of failure.



People
try to get past that fear, but they end up staying in a stagnant place. They
keep thinking as to how things would go wrong or how they are not up to the
task. They get into a thought loop which creates an emotion that tells them,
they are not good enough. As a result, they are focusing their brain to wire in
to worry, anxiety, and fear. Along with it comes negative emotions. These emotions
are not meant to be carried and dwelled on, they are only meant to be
experienced and felt.



If
you are focusing on the fear, on what is not going to work, then you are not
focusing on finding solutions. You are not making the things that you want to
happen, happen.



This
is no different for me. I get in to fear and sometimes, I have to really trust
in my own ability to make something happen. That is hard. That takes bravery
and courage. Courage doesn't happen when you know all the answers, or when you
are completely capable. The practice of courage and the practice of bravery
happens when you are scared, when you are not convinced of your abilities yet.



But
most of us are operating from a place where we look back in our past. Because
we have never done something like that in the past, we think that we are not
the type of person who could do it. But, as soon as you do it, you are the
type of person to do that! So, you must work ahead, you have to work
from a place of the person who has already done that!



Let
us take running the marathon, for example.



If
you have never ran a marathon, you have no idea what it is like. But if you do
it, you do it! You become the type of person who could do it. It is this
continuous practice of growing into the person that you are going to be. If
from the start, you operate from what you were able to do from the past, that
past will hold you back. Operate from who you are going to be in the future.
Think back to where you were ten years ago and the things that you learned, the
skills, the ways you have improved, your ways of thinking, and just how many
more abilities and things can you do in life now, comparing to ten years ago.



Imagine
your future self and all the amazing things that you'll be able to do! Work
from that place of your future self.



So,
if it is fear of success, it serves a purpose. Your fear serves its purpose.
It keeps us safe. Your brain is wired to keep us safe.



First,
you can just thank your brain for trying to keep you safe and then turn your
attention elsewhere, so you don't have to be focusing on the fear itself. A lot
of us get in to fear because we have not fully assessed whether the risk is
worth it and that is something that you can just do. Write it down, list the
possible outcomes, and ask yourself if that is what you really want to do, is
it what you want to create in this world, is it in alignment with your values,
and is it in alignment with what you want your life to look like. Determine
that fullest realization and goodness of the possibility or the worst that

episode of the Five-Minute Friday is for those who are trying to do something
big and exciting in the world.







Often, I encounter people who are running in to fear when they are deciding to do something big. When they commit to do a project, fear sets in. It could either be the fear of success or the fear of failure.



People
try to get past that fear, but they end up staying in a stagnant place. They
keep thinking as to how things would go wrong or how they are not up to the
task. They get into a thought loop which creates an emotion that tells them,
they are not good enough. As a result, they are focusing their brain to wire in
to worry, anxiety, and fear. Along with it comes negative emotions. These emotions
are not meant to be carried and dwelled on, they are only meant to be
experienced and felt.



If
you are focusing on the fear, on what is not going to work, then you are not
focusing on finding solutions. You are not making the things that you want to
happen, happen.



This
is no different for me. I get in to fear and sometimes, I have to really trust
in my own ability to make something happen. That is hard. That takes bravery
and courage. Courage doesn't happen when you know all the answers, or when you
are completely capable. The practice of courage and the practice of bravery
happens when you are scared, when you are not convinced of your abilities yet.



But
most of us are operating from a place where we look back in our past. Because
we have never done something like that in the past, we think that we are not
the type of person who could do it. But, as soon as you do it, you are the
type of person to do that! So, you must work ahead, you have to work
from a place of the person who has already done that!



Let
us take running the marathon, for example.



If
you have never ran a marathon, you have no idea what it is like. But if you do
it, you do it! You become the type of person who could do it. It is this
continuous practice of growing into the person that you are going to be. If
from the start, you operate from what you were able to do from the past, that
past will hold you back. Operate from who you are going to be in the future.
Think back to where you were ten years ago and the things that you learned, the
skills, the ways you have improved, your ways of thinking, and just how many
more abilities and things can you do in life now, comparing to ten years ago.



Imagine
your future self and all the amazing things that you'll be able to do! Work
from that place of your future self.



So,
if it is fear of success, it serves a purpose. Your fear serves its purpose.
It keeps us safe. Your brain is wired to keep us safe.



First,
you can just thank your brain for trying to keep you safe and then turn your
attention elsewhere, so you don't have to be focusing on the fear itself. A lot
of us get in to fear because we have not fully assessed whether the risk is
worth it and that is something that you can just do. Write it down, list the
possible outcomes, and ask yourself if that is what you really want to do, is
it what you want to create in this world, is it in alignment with your values,
and is it in alignment with what you want your life to look like. Determine
that fullest realization and goodness of the possibility or the worst that
could happen. Is the risk worth the gain?

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is a Singapore-based hypnotist, multi-time best-selling author and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner, Lee McKing (first name McKing - in Singapore they reverse the naming order). Named as such because his father believed he was destined for greatness, McKing has his fair share of cool and fascinating stuff.



McKing learned NLP because he wanted to improve his health. When he was younger, he had a near-death experience which led him to focus on health and eventually deciding to learn hypnotherapy. He then shares and breaks down what goes on during a hypnosis session and how it can actually help people with mental health issues, increase their business or sports performance, and other very specific things.



In this episode, McKing will help us understand hypnosis. He presents the effects it has on limiting the impact of fear and anxiety on performance, to working on increasing endurance. This episode will surely open your mind about hypnosis and the power of the subconscious mind.



This episode is part of a series where I investigate alternative/supplementary practices that can help boost performance and healing. I did a hypnosis session with McKing a few weeks before this interview to experience his work and see the effect. I wanted to reduce my fear during bicycle racing and increase my endurance. You will hear how our session went and the amazing result of winning two bicycle races the very next day!



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* McKing explains what hypnosis is* The science behind hypnosis* How we are all hypnotizing ourselves all the time* How McKing can direct hypnotization in a conversational manner* McKing’s success stories from his own clients that he has seen and how it happens * The mind-body connection with health* Amazing story of one's client's skin rash disappearing on the spot* How McKing helped me win two bicycle races through hypnosis



Quotes:



"Everybody is hypnotizing themselves already" - Lee McKing



"The conscious mind is a gatekeeper. The unconscious mind is a sponge"- Lee McKing



"Mental health leads to more mental health"- Lee McKing

Today, let us talk about that because this is something that happens to everyone, even myself.
Motivation is not just a problem where you need to work harder or apply more will power. It is full of information - it is telling you something.
Your lack of motivation may be because you are not connected with who you are trying to serve. You are not clear about how you can help your customer. If you do not believe something is going to work for you, you will not be able to follow through, because you have already taken yourself out of the game.
Perhaps, you don’t have a goal yet. In that case, if you don’t have an ambition or a purpose, then you need to figure out that something that you want to do then you will be able to start moving towards it. It may take some reflections, internalizations, talking to people, and learning what you like and don’t like. You can then start taking action by doing these little steps and having that momentum.
It could be that you are not having fun. If what you are doing is boring, then you may need to be a little creative. Think of different ways that you can play around with the things that you are trying to do.  A lot of times, it is super motivating just to learn or try something new. Maybe motivation is coming because you don’t expect it.
Maybe you are not connected with the outcome. You don’t know what it is going to do for you. You don’t know how it is going to make you feel. It is hard to tie hard work and effort, so tap into that feeling which you wish to have once you complete this goal.
Understand that where you place your attention is important. This is about curating your surroundings - your physical surroundings, what you are watching, and even the people around you. So many different inputs can change your thought patterns, your feelings, and your habits. If you are around excited people who want to learn, grow, and achieve things, then that is going to become how you are.
Again, this is all information. Your level of motivation is telling you about yourself.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=6508Fri, 16 Aug 2019 20:48:08 +0000Derek LoudermilkHave you ever been un-motivated?

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the leader in subconscious self-transformation, Jim Fortin. Jim is a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) master practitioner. Jim is a well known international sales trainer for 6,7, and 8 figure businesses. He runs the podcast, Transform Your Life from the Inside Out.

Jim may be best known for his expertise in transforming businesses to achieve their greatest potential, but he also helps in transforming individuals with the way they think in order to also become the best version of themselves. He shares the importance of silencing the mind to let it perform its highest ability. He also explains where money comes from – is  it from hard work, or from something else?

In this episode, we get to learn about Jim’s other side. He considers himself as a shaman’s apprentice after working alongside his brother-in-law for decades. He discusses transformation through the application of quantum physics, the psychology of one’s thinking, and even ancient wisdom.

]]>3361truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/living-in-portugal-for-three-months-five-minute-friday--52755343 Today’s Five-Minute Friday episode is about the time when I moved my family - my wife and my two little kids - to Portugal, in the spring of 2019.
We moved to Portugal for three months were we ended up living in a town called Atouguia Da Baleia, near one of the surfing capitals of Portugal - Peniche. It was pretty close to the beach. We were in this tiny village because it happened to have another digital nomad friend. She happened to mention that place before we were going. It was just perfect. She had an AirBnb rental where we stayed at and to add to that, she let us use her car. Everything worked out.
What was it like for our family when we moved there?
From St. Louis, we flew to Lisbon. We then had about an hour drive to this small village of about ten thousand people. We haven't really lived anywhere that small. It was a quiet and chill place, pretty different from living in Lisbon. Lisbon, on the other hand, is a digital nomad and entrepreneurship hotspot. There are a lot of start-ups and friends over there who travel through.
We didn't know what to expect. We did not end up meeting as many friends as we did in other places. So, when people asked us, "How was Portugal?” it is kind of, hard for us to say because every day was really nice. There are beautiful things to do. The place was quiet and calm. The weather was great. The thing that was missing was proximity to a lot of people that we could get to know.
Here are some of the highlights of our stay: 
I went cycling and saw so much scenery. I could see little villages, farm roads, different castles, rivers, and mountains. While I was out riding, I was thinking to myself about the development of the country, Portugal. At one point, they had this massive empire. Essentially, they were the first to have a global empire. They have since declined and the glorious buildings built long ago are now in a state of despair. The country, however, is now coming back, economically speaking. It is starting to revitalize.
I am just imagining this ebb and flow of the culture of Portugal and its people. There is this type of music, the Fado music, which is popular in Portugal. It is like this longing-for-the-days-gone-by, sort of, folk music, and that feeling, pervaded every place I went. It is hard to think of another country where the music is so appropriately described; that you would just like to be there.
I was surprised that it was so windy in Portugal. There were wind turbines, old and modern ones, everywhere. Apparently until recently, Portugal was the leading wind power producer.
We happened to live near this town called Obidos, a medieval old-walled city. There is a castle and old walls in this city, which is super beautiful which have been preserved, frozen in time. It is very touristy now because of its beauty. We would regularly go just to spend the evening, for dinner, or when anyone came to visit us. We would show them this jewel of a city. They say it is the most beautiful city in Portugal.
We also took a road trip to Sevilla, Spain, which I think is even cooler than Lisbon. We would eat dinner super late at night and I could remember walking home at eleven in the evening and buying ice cream with my two-year old. This is very out of the ordinary, but it was super fun. The trip was made interesting by the great architecture of the place. We also went to where all the beaches were.
Another interesting thing we saw on our way over to Spain is this place outside a town called Evora. We visited the Cromeleque dos Almendres which means, stone circles. It was like the Stonehenge, but with almond-shaped stones and older, over 5000 years old. It was just special, way out of the middle of nowhere and the hot part drive of Portugal.
A lot of people in Portugal spoke English, so we were able to get by pretty well. As you might imagine, the food and wine is really good.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=6487Fri, 09 Aug 2019 20:05:38 +0000Derek LoudermilkToday’s Five-Minute Friday episode is about the time when I moved my family - my wife and my two little kids - to Portugal, in the spring of 2019.

]]>4697truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/what-i-learned-from-fasting-five-minute-friday--52755294 In the last five years, I have gone about forty days without food, mostly just consuming water. Some of these fasts are short, just two sleeps - basically a day of fasting - some of them are long, having gone for as long as eight days.
I started experimenting with fasting when I lived in Bali, because a lot of people do juice fasts there. Bali has a big, healthy-eating culture and I wanted to see what fasting was like. How much can you know about yourself if you have never gone without food? I started experimenting with baby steps. I started with one day, and then  worked up from there.
Recently Ive been doing 36 hour fasts every Monday and I noticed some patterns in the experience. I just want to share with you, if you haven't done any fasting, what you might expect, or if you have done fasting, what you may have experienced, whether it be similar of different.
I needed less sleep. If I normally sleep eight hours, but while fasting, I wake up feeling refreshed after six and a half hours. I also feel very light.
I save time and become more productive. In the first couple of days into the fast, my mind is generally working really well. If you couple that with not having to take time to eat and brush your teeth, and just all those things you are saving a couple of hours each day, so you end being very productive in the early parts of the fast.
It can feel very fatiguing. Some people say they maintain high energy levels for an entire fast. I experienced that I was very lethargic after three to five days of fasting. I find it really hard to physically move my body and I just felt weaker and this process of your body wherein it is somewhat starting to eat itself off. Autophagy happens, or when your body gets rid of older cells and cleans it out. You really feel amazing after, but, during that process it is a very tiring feeling, at least, for me.
Food starts to smell really good! My kid was eating a rice cracker and I thought it smells amazing! Of course, that first bite of food after a fast is so much more delicious. Like many things, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
My body temperature goes down. I will be wearing sweatshirt and pants because I get the shivers. I think that is because I eat a pretty high-sugar low-glycemic index diet, I have a lot of fuel and my body temperature runs pretty hot, but then when I am fasting, it gets cold.
Working out becomes hard. I tried to do some work outs, runs, frisbee, and dancing, and it is all just really hard. I would expect that maybe, without the lightness that I feel, that sometimes when I run, I feel really good. However, I feel physically willing myself each footstep to happen or if you somehow forget that you are working out, for  few seconds, you quickly remember because your body is just complains. Fasting should be a time of not pushing yourself because it would be harder to recover.
Change in body odor. One really interesting thing that I noticed is that I smell really bad. It's a totally different smell from my normal body odor and maybe perhaps that is from the autophagy.
It is hard to ramp up eating after fasting. You really have to ease into it and sometimes it takes two full days before you can eat certain complex food. I usually start with a banana or some juice. You can actually feel the food, sitting in there, in your stomach, before your digestive system realizes that there is food.
Losing the anxiety from lack food. Besides doing it for the health benefits, that you can feel good and have clarity and productivity, one of the best things that I have noticed is that just not needing food. I always had a lot of anxiety about not eating. I always had food with me because, what if I get hungry? Now, if I miss a meal, or a day of meal, I know that I am going to be fine. I may be a bit hungry but that is okay because in days that I eat three times a day,]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=6458Fri, 26 Jul 2019 18:26:15 +0000Derek LoudermilkGhandi Fasting In the last five years, I have gone about forty days without food, mostly just consuming water.

I recently interviewed my academic mentor and adviser, Mark Young, and he talked about his discoveries. Now, I want to tell you about how it was for me.
I was sitting there in a dark microscope room, looking in the electron microscope and I am looking at this very thin gold-coated surface, looking for geometric patterns - that would be a signal for a virus. All of a sudden, to my field of view, there were polka dots, full of hexagons. I jumped out of my chair! THIS IS IT! I just discovered a virus!
That was a single, exciting moment that was only possible with the year and a half of preparation and was only provable with another year and a half of research to back it up.
So, when you see something, and you see that it is a new discovery, you still have to prove and characterize it. You need to describe and learn more about it.
Discovering it was a big process. We designed an experiment explicitly to discover new species. We went out to over a hundred different hot springs and took samples and spent over a year trying to grow microorganisms. Once I was able to grow them, I had to concentrate with the living material from the vials.
I began to think, I could, maybe, find something new.
I spent time screening through the samples over the microscope and didn't find anything. But because I had seen viruses, I knew what I was looking for. And so, after I saw it, I quickly took photos and there were just lots of virus particles. I took them to my colleagues and advisers, and we all looked at it. Did it look like something already discovered? It looked different enough that we decided to characterize and describe it. One of the most important things is to see what the genome is, because once you understand the DNA or the RNA of the genome, you can compare it to all other known viruses.
So, all this took a really long time. It was emotional roller coaster! When you see the thing right there, there is nothing like that feeling of knowing you are the first person to look at it, and just knowing that you found something new. To the long hours of manipulating things in the lab, trying to take some evidence, learning some technique, and failing it, until you finally get a new piece of evidence – that's  what a lot of people don't see in research. There are months of trying things. Trying to get a little piece of information takes so much work, and that was really hard for me.
I'm really glad that I had the chance to work as an academic scientist because there is such rigor and it's a phase wherein you really need to put in a lot of work. Having that long-term focus really translates to almost anything else. It's very similar to endurance sports – you train for several years and you still won't hit the peak of your ability. A long-term thinking is involved. You build something over the long haul.
The other best part of it all is going out into Yellowstone and setting up an experiment where you have to go on an adventure!

 ]]>678truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-business-lessons-that-i-learned-from-my-toddler-five-minute-friday--52755244 It's amazing how much overlap there is between parenting and coaching. Half the time, I am coaching high performers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. The other half, I'm dealing with a two-year old. Both of them make me become better at the other. So here are the lessons that I learned from my toddler that you can use for your business.
 

* Feel all of your emotions

When you are trying something really hard, and you just can't get it, or you fail, make sure you feel all of your emotions. Process through that feeling of frustration, anger, or disappointment. My toddler throws a mini tantrum but feels better afterwards. He then comes back and tries again. This is so important. The most successful people are prolific creators. If you are stuck on the sidelines, you are going to be way behind.
 

* Take a breather

I see my toddler give up right when he is about to get the puzzle piece in. Oftentimes, we are  so close to success and we just can't quite see how to get there. All you need is taking a breather and coming at it from a different angle.
 

* Ask for help

For toddlers, it is totally normal to be a beginner. But for us, we do not like to feel like beginners, so it is harder. As a result, it becomes harder to ask for help. One may already have had some success in his adult life but it becomes crucial when you get outside perspective and emotional support. Go back on that thing that is giving you the hard problem and frustration and work on it, this time, with the help of others.
 

* Manage your energy well

You have probably seen some screaming kids in the middle of the afternoon. That's because it is about naptime. When we start getting tired, our physical energy dips and it becomes hard to deal with challenges. If you do not have a full cup, then all of a sudden, your problems are going to be way harder. It is thus super crucial that you manage your internal state.
 

* The power of reciprocity

My toddler started bringing gifts and looking for hugs to try to get attention and I listen just for a moment, which pretty much solves everything. If you can figure out how to continue to be a giver, then people will be programmed to want to help you.
 

Also, don't forget to celebrate!

The other half, I'm dealing with a two-year old. Both of them make me become better at the other. So here are the lessons that I learned from my toddler that you can use for your business.
 

* Feel all of your emotions

When you are trying something really hard, and you just can't get it, or you fail, make sure you feel all of your emotions. Process through that feeling of frustration, anger, or disappointment. My toddler throws a mini tantrum but feels better afterwards. He then comes back and tries again. This is so important. The most successful people are prolific creators. If you are stuck on the sidelines, you are going to be way behind.
 

* Take a breather

I see my toddler give up right when he is about to get the puzzle piece in. Oftentimes, we are  so close to success and we just can't quite see how to get there. All you need is taking a breather and coming at it from a different angle.
 

* Ask for help

For toddlers, it is totally normal to be a beginner. But for us, we do not like to feel like beginners, so it is harder. As a result, it becomes harder to ask for help. One may already have had some success in his adult life but it becomes crucial when you get outside perspective and emotional support. Go back on that thing that is giving you the hard problem and frustration and work on it, this time, with the help of others.
 

* Manage your energy well

You have probably seen some screaming kids in the middle of the afternoon. That's because it is about naptime. When we start getting tired, our physical energy dips and it becomes hard to deal with challenges. If you do not have a full cup, then all of a sudden, your problems are going to be way harder. It is thus super crucial that you manage your internal state.
 

* The power of reciprocity

My toddler started bringing gifts and looking for hugs to try to get attention and I listen just for a moment, which pretty much solves everything. If you can figure out how to continue to be a giver, then people will be programmed to want to help you.
 

Also, don't forget to celebrate!

Mark is a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiologists, an awarded distinguished lecturer, and on the board of the society of virology and many universities and organizations.  His work has been cited over 15,000 times.
Mark Young was my academic adviser and mentor when I was a grad student at Montana State University. Together, we designed the experiment that led to my discovery of a new species of virus in the hot springs of Yellowstone.
I chose to work with Mark not just for his academic credentials, but our shared interest in adventure and unconventional thinking. Mark's mentorship ultimately led to the creation of this podcast.
Mark is known in the scientific community for discovering viruses in the hot springs of Yellowstone and for the discovery that you can do chemistry inside a virus particle.
Recently, Mark has become the first person to synthetically create a new virus from scratch. (Don't worry it doesn't infect humans, just E. coli).
Mark is both a highly social, adventurous, and unconventional scientists and a rigorous academic focused on excellence.
What you will learn in this episode:


* What it is like to discover a new species
* The challenges of doing field research in Yellowstone
* How Mark seeks out wild and crazy ideas
* What it takes to succeed in academic research
* What we need to know about synthetic biology
* Ethical questions about biology and the future of humanity

Here are 10 entrepreneurship lessons that translate from from the world of Pro sports:


*
Manage your energy. Pro athletes know that the most important thing is recovery. In sports, you can't improve unless you give your body time to rest and adapt. Learn to understand your physical body and how it best operates. Understand the aspects that provide you with that fire so that when you need to be on point, you are going to be performing at your highest level.
*
Self experimentation. Study yourself so you know how you perform best. Try different times of day, different foods, technologies, etc.
*
Seek progression. Find the best coaches, design your training around ways to keep getting better. Understand what the next level looks like by looking at the worlds bests. Hiring expert coaches and competitors to highlight the smaller and smaller areas for improvement
*
Make the basics unconscious. Get so good at the basic skills that you don’t have to think about them any more
*
Rehearsal. Pros understand what a perfect practice looks like. If you mentally rehearse the perfect stroke, you are going to improve much faster. They place themselves in a situation before it really happens making then comfortable when the situation does happen.
*
Mental toughness. Pros do workouts that are harder than their competition days so they know they will be able to handle the hardest situation
*
Understand your psychology. Notice when you lose focus, notice your self talk, understand your motivation
*
Optimize for the most important output. Define the rules of the game you are playing in life and how to win. You don’t have to be the best at everything to win - just key skills in your one sport or your one career output - getting too much muscle can make you run up mountains slower for example
*
Optimize your routine. Patterns, rituals, habits can help get you in the zone, and take care of the things you do over and over.
*
Embrace pressure, challenge, get comfortable with the difficulty
*
Keep the joy. Get to the place where you really love what you are doing. Enjoy mastering something, get back in as to why you were trying to enjoy that thing in the first place. If you don't think you can find that joy, then something is out of alignment

3978truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-story-of-the-nearly-deadly-snowstorm-five-minute-friday--52755318 This is the story of the nearly deadly snowstorm
It's dusk and I'm clawing my way out of the snow. I have just fallen off of the trail to neck-deep snow and I am using my ski to make stairs so that I could climb out of this pit of snow back onto this narrow trail and I could hardly see where I'm going because it's winter, and Valentine's Day, to add to that. The sun is setting, and this is the first Valentine's day with my then girlfriend. We were in Montana, and so, as every good survival tale, the story starts with the comedy of small errors.
We had decided to join our friends on a weekend trail to the fire tower. We only had touring skis, so we had to go through the long way, that is, to ski around the mountain. We were going to meet our friends as they would be getting there ahead of us. We drove to the starting point of the trail, and when we got there, we realized that the boots we had rented for my ex were two left boots! We did not turn around at this point as it would cost us a lot of time, so we headed on and continued to the trail.
Just before we had gotten out of cell service, that was when we realized we had no map with us. We quickly downloaded the map on one of the phones with us and it was amazing that we got the app just before we lost cell service. We were, however, limited by the battery life of the phone where we got the map on.
It started as a beautiful sunny day, but pretty soon a snowstorm rolls in. It starts snowing, more like a warm snow which started sticking at the bottom of the ski. Instead of covering five to eight miles an hour, we went to half a mile an hour! We had been at it for six hours, and the sun started to set, and the phone battery started to die, with no spare batteries at hand. We didn't even have head lamps. All these little dumb errors make this sound like a not-so-great adventure at this point.
The amazing thing about the trip was that we weren't fighting. We just kept moving up and figured our way to get there. Finally, we get to see the light of the light tower and saw our friends. It was such a relief when we got there.
Looking back, it is such a ridiculous story, we could have been so much better prepared, yet we survived and made it through! It was a wild and crazy adventure experience.
Let me know if you'd ever had a crazy survival story or what we call "type two fun!"

]]>3053truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/face-to-face-with-a-mountain-lion-five-minute-friday--52755331 This is the story of how I came face to face with a mountain lion.
It was sunset and I was running on the trails of the Santa Rosa plateau in California. We were staying there for a couple of months with my wife's family and everyday I would go up to this nature preserve with is this amazing trail, much like an African savanna. It had rocky outcrops and grassland. It was a wonderful place to spend some time running every evening.
I was running with a podcast playing. It said, "you need to be more present", and I realized that I was focusing on the what I was listening to and not the actual running. I then turned the podcast off and put everything away. It was then me running  and the sound of the crunchy gravel of the trails underneath my feet. It was very meditative. I got really deep into the zone, having ran for about an hour and a half.
There was deer running my path, and falcons were nearby. It was sunset and the slight breeze was cooling the day off. It was perfect. Just then, the coyotes started howling, calling back forth. It was eerie. As I was running back towards my car on the final stretch of the trail, I saw an animal ahead of me. I though it was interesting - could be a coyote that walked of the trail. I ran over the hills and got to the spot where the animal had been standing. I looked, and the animal was still there, just a few feet off the trail. The animal was laying  down, crouching at the outcrops. I thought it was interesting that the animal would let me close to it. I have never seen a coyote not run away before. I then realized, it wasn't a coyote after all! I was looking eye to eye with a mountain lion.
Because of the meditative run I had, I did not panic, and felt connected with the mountain lion instead. I just kept eye contact and slowly backed away. When I reached a bend, I immediately took off running and screaming! I ran as fast as I could back to the car.
It was so unreal, so the next day, I went and talked to the ranger who worked at the Santa Rosa Plateau. He then told me an interesting story which explained why the mountain lion had acted that way.
For me, it was a big reminder that even though we have been able to control the natural world, we have also forgotten the real wildness of nature. At times that I feel agitated, I come back to that moment with the mountain lion and remember what it felt like to arrive at that calm place. I use that as a trigger to pull myself back into a state of alignment. I remember that moment when I was at one with nature, which was also when I was at one with myself.

I use that as a trigger to pull myself back into a state of alignment. I remember that moment when I was at one with nature, which was also when I was at one with myself.

For my 36th birthday last week, I decided to ride the longest ride I had ever done - 200km.  I had ridden long rides before, including races that were more than 170 km, but this would be just me and the open road. We are living in Portugal for a few months, and there are no mountains here, but there are also no flat places. I could expect just as much uphill as in the mountains.

In this episode, I talk about what I was thinking and feeling as I rode more than 9 hours, how i prepared for the process and some of the more philosophical reasons behind doing a big adventure challenge like this

Here are some themes and concepts that I cover in this episode:

* The film that inspired me: "35"
* Last years birthday challenge: 24 hours of adventure in Bali
*
The amount of planning that goes into a big ride
* Why its important to test yourself
*
Feeling the experience - there is no other way to know
*
Comparison of this ride with other hard things and making future things feel easier
*
Physiology change - did I "get in shape" in a single day?
* Managing nutrition during the ride
* Managing mental chatter during the ride
*
The story of the world record setting "3 peaks challenge"
* My previous biggest day of cycling in Spain
* Racing against Lance Armstrong
*
A near death experience being caught in a snow storm
*
Why the ride was never too hard at any moment, but overall extremely challenging
*
The superpower of being ok with discomfort
* Physical vs. Emotional discomfort

Want to know how to get free trips and luxury hotel stays for being an influencer?

People get really excited about getting free trips, gear, or luxury hotel stays just by posting on Instagram. And guess what? It's totally possible and probably easier than you think.

The biggest thing is learning how to ask for what you want.

Sometimes hotels and businesses will find you and make you an offer, but most of the time staying in a castle or getting free hot air ballon rides doesn’t just fall into your lap - its up to you to go after the opportunities you want.

The next biggest focus should be to create a win-win situation (make sure both sides get value from a collaboration).

Wondering if your social media is really valuable enough to get free stuff? This is a great opportunity for a hotel to get in front of your audience - what would they pay for traditional advertising on TV or in a magazine?

It will probably easier for companies to say yes after you get to 1000+ Instagram followers or 100+ podcast/YouTube subscribers, but I have heard of people starting to get free stuff with as little as 7 followers.

Let's looks at an example - say you want to stay in a boutique hotel for two free nights in exchange for media exposure on your instagram account.

Here is what I have done that works really well:

Find out when the hotel has rooms available and go during low season. Its fairly low cost for a hotel to give you a couple free nights when they have extra capacity.

Find hotels or trips that align with your existing audience - the hotel wants to know that they could actually get some customers from your posts. In my case, I prefer to work with eco lodges or boutique hotels that are a little more adventurous.

I try to play the odds - if 10% of the hotels say yes to partnering with you, then how may would you want to pitch to guarantee you get a match? Generally I will send start by emailing 10-15 potential partner hotels. I find the email for the hotel manager or the marketing manager on the hotel website.

When you get to the hotel, make sure you know what photos/video/stories you want to capture and how long it will take you to collect those, so you can enjoy you experience when you are finished. I try to shoot photos of the room in the first 10 minutes before it gets messed up with luggage unpacking

I try to ask what has worked well for a hotel in the past and if there is any specific angle they would like to promote. When we were staying at castle Otocec in Slovenia, the hotel manager really wanted me to focus on their highly rated restaurant and the fresh local food (the breakfast buffet made me feel like a Lord)

Then I try to over deliver - if I promised five instagram posts, then I’ll do six, plus a facebook live, plus a mention on the podcast. I also make sure I give them all the photos I take so they can use them for later for their own social media.

When negotiating with hotels, it's great if you can provide some testimonials or case studies of hotels you have worked with in the past. So when people have reached out and said, “I went to this hotel after you mentioned it and had the best sleep I've had in years," I keep track of that in a file.

Sometimes a hotel can only give you part of what you ask for. For example, you might have to settle for one free night instead of two, and a discounted dinner instead of free.

I invite you to experiment and have some fun with this! You never know what you will get until you ask.
Examples of free hotel stays and trips we have gotten:

* Hot Air Ballooning in Southern California

]]>3355truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-minute-friday-moving-a-family-to-portugal--52755349 Today's Five-Minute Friday is about how I am moving my family to Portugal.
I recorded this episode a few days before I moved with my family to Portugal - including my two-year old and four-month old. (We have now been in Portugal for two weeks)
So, how does this all work?
We booked our flights using airline miles accumulated from all those travel hacking.
We are going to live in this little village called Atouguia da Baleia which is about an hour north of Lisbon. Atouguia is a surf community - it turns out there is a lot of great surfing in Portugal.
Why Portugal?
Lisbon is a digital nomad hotspot. Portugal is not super expensive compared to the rest of Europe, so it seemed like a good potential location. There is already a community of people I know and several co-working spaces. There is decent English spoken there.
This will be the third year that we left the United States to live abroad. So, we've got some experience under our belt. Right now, we are packing up our things and trying to have as little luggage as possible. We ended up traveling with 4 large checked bags.
A consideration when moving abroad is trying to find a house as quickly as possible. Normally we wait until we are in a new city to fid housing.
When we announced that we were moving to Portugal on our Facebook, one of our friends who happened to own an AirBnb property, reached out.
That house is where we then ended up arranging to stay. That saved us several days of house hunting and a lot of headache.
Because we have friends in Lisbon and Atouguia, we were also able to have a couple of connections. We already have a driver who will pick us up from the airport, we already have an access to a nanny for the child care. Through digital nomad Facebook groups, I was able to get connections with folks that live in our village. We ended up being tapped into a community, thanks to Natalie Sisson, a fellow podcaster and digital nomad who owns the Airbnb.
I plan to go to the local bike shop and see if there are any group rides so I can build a community through meeting cyclists. I am also planning to play ultimate frisbee. I'm told the frisbee community there is really good.
Co-working spaces are also a great place to meet people. I plan to go and do some workshops and talks which is really a good opportunity to develop potential business opportunities and collaborations.
We will be two miles from the beach and will have access to a car so we will probably go to the beach and surfing frequently.
So, that are some of the considerations that we are going to take when moving to Portugal. As U.S. Citizens, we are given three months or ninety days to stay there, so that is what we are aiming for right now.
Hopefully you found this episode useful and we'd love to hear from you!

]]>3621truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-minute-friday-the-importance-of-lived-experiences--52755354
One concept from the book that I'm really excited about is the importance of lived experience in shaping leaders.  That is, we must go beyond an intellectual understanding of an experience and be fully immersed to really understand what it feels like.

This is something that I struggle with during those times when I'm not out adventuring. I read lots of books and listen to lots of podcast and think strategically about business. This is highly intellectual activity and actively takes me away from feeling my feelings - which is half the equation of life.

Virtual reality, storytelling, books, YouTube, etc get you close to an experience, but they also keep you from actually going on an adventure and experiencing the phenomenon for yourself.

What specific feelings do you get when you are out among the redwoods or climbing a volcano? What is it like when you are splashing holy water on your face or trying to figure out how to bribe a militant rebel?  You get the full range of emotions, the real lived experiences

When you are out in the deep dark forest, the trees are working their magic on your entire being. You get the physiological benefits of calm, clarity, and immune boosting, as well as enhanced creativity. It's like a hack for connecting with something bigger than yourself.

When you drop into a new country with a new language, culture, and money, you get the lived experience of being a total noob and having to figure out everything again for the first time.

You are rewiring your brain and experiencing emotions that you can only get through these lived experiences.

This will allow you as a leader to draw on this bank of experiences to make better decisions, be less surprised by new encounters, be comfortable with the full range of emotions, and be in tune with the larger systems at play (e.g.,
ecological, social, biological).]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=6282Fri, 08 Mar 2019 20:21:08 +0000Derek LoudermilkOne concept from the book that I'm really excited about is the importance of lived experience in shaping leaders.  That is, we must go beyond an intellectual understanding of an experience and be fully immersed to really understand what it feels like....

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is Paul Kuthe, the pioneer of the discipline of sea kayak surfing. He plays on the waves like a surfer on a sea kayak and pushes the edge in the sport of kayaking. Paul also launched Tributary Coaching LLC, a training and coaching company.

In this episode, Paul shares his stories of adventure which include the kayaking experiences that pushed him to the edge. He describes his near career-ending incident in dramatic detail and shares how this incident spurred him to ramp up his coaching business.

You’ll love this episode because Paul is a great storyteller. He tells us how he started canoeing and then kayaking, talks about his childhood heroes and work, and describes how losing his father inspired him to tread this career path.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

* How Paul became a pro kayaker
* How important key mentorship is in pursuing your dreams
* The types of risks involved in kayaking
* The accident that almost led to the end of Paul's career
* How Paul founded Tributary Coaching

Quotes:

“I want to be an example that is different for my boys. I don’t want to stop pursuing what’s important to me just purely because of their arrival. I want to live in a way that exemplifies what I think is going to be important for them, which is, to not follow the designated path.” – Paul Kuthe

“Without any risk, life would be boring. I’d much rather risk it and have some good stories and have those experiences.” – Paul Kuthe

“It is really important to remember that life is so brief, none of us will make it out of here alive, anyway.” – Paul Kuthe

“Either way, you’re risking it. It just depends how you’re going about it, what’s worth that risk, and what you’re doing to reduce that risk a little bit.” – Paul Kuthe

“For me, the risk of inaction is depression and feeling disengaged with life.” – Paul Kuthe

]]>4046truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-minute-friday-experience-the-revolution-the-preorder-campaign--52755385 Today, I'm going to tell you about my latest book project: Experience: the Revolution.
This will be my second book and the pre-sale campaign is on Publishizer. My first book, Superconductors, was also launched through Publishizer, a crowdfunding literary agency.
Experience the Revolution is about leadership lessons taken from transformative experiences. I was encouraged by one of my coaches that I need to be fighting for something in this book.
The things I’m fighting for are threefold:


* the need to build leadership qualities through lived experience;
* the need to embrace our uniqueness and unconventional self-actualization process; and
* the need for a new breed of leadership that is going to solve humanity's greatest problems.

This book is thus about how we can become the new leader.
I have been experimenting with these areas in my own life through traveling around the world, doing psychedelics, week-long fasts, meditation, yoga, silent retreats, visiting remote tribes, vision quests, and festivals. There are so many people like me who are unsure how to effect the causes that are important to them. It will also be about empowering people who have had transformative experiences to translate those experiences into leadership skills.
I would really like to create this as a movement, a place where we can all share our stories of transformation. I will then look at all this information as a large data set to try to understand this nascent cultural movement. I will also look at how people are going through their heroes' journeys, their transformative experiences, and how these journeys and experiences impact culture and the economy. I think the most important piece of this book, now more than ever, is to encourage people to go out, to live phenomenal experiences, and to delve into what these experiences can teach us about ourselves, especially as technology makes it ever easier to stay secluded and sheltered within the walls of ours homes.
We are going to use content from many of this podcast's interviews for the book and a research team will also be assisting. I really expect and hope that this will be a globally influential book.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in, if you’ve had a transformative experience, if you want to be a leader, or if you want to learn how to choose experiences which will help you develop as a leader, I would love for you to check out the book. Your pre-orders on Publishizer will help Experience the Revolution get picked up by a major publisher and insure its success.
This book is nexus linking my many interests; it will bring together interviews from my podcast, act as a sort of sequel to my last book, and explore careers and leaderships in the future. I hope that you will be as interested to read it as I am to write it. I am so excited to create this movement so we can be effective leaders and tackle humanity's  greatest challenges.

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is Rachel Rudwall, also known as Rachel Roams. She’s an EMMY-nominated explorer, TV host, producer, travel blogger, influencer, and all-around fun travel personality. She has done creative projects in over seventy countries and on all seven continents.
In this episode, Rachel shares her memorable travel experiences and her evolution as a storyteller, from pitching projects in front of and behind the camera. She also discusses travel experiences with her supportive husband and how she realized that she is an “Instragram wife.”
You’ll love this episode and adore Rachel as she generously and entertainingly shares how she captures moments on camera. As much as she loves being in front of the camera, she thinks being behind it is an essential skill. Whichever side she's on, she tries to remember that it isn't about her, it's about facilitating the interplay between an idea and an audience.
What you’ll learn in this episode:


* How Rachel thinks of herself as a vehicle for storytelling
* Rachel’s favorite countries
* How Rachel evolved as a storyteller
* How Rachel pitches ideas for projects
* Rachel’s advice for my future book and travel plans

Quotes:
“In order to be effective on either side, it is important to know what it’s like on the opposite side.” – Rachel Rudwall
“Whether you are in front of or behind the camera, it is important to remember that it is not about you.” – Rachel Rudwall
“You have to be generous to everything around you. You have to really listen, instead of always talking. You have to read people’s expressions, instead of assuming what they are going to say.” – Rachel Rudwall
“If you have a thing you really care about, or are excited about, learning to pitch and learning to weather the process of pitching will be really important.” – Rachel Rudwall
“We have expectations about everything. And my homework this year, and moving forward, is to let go of expectations because they are not serving you.” – Rachel Rudwall
“I can have goals to learn more, or become better at what I am doing, to be more patient. Goals, in that sense? Great. But to expect a certain outcome isn’t serving you. And so, I am allowing things that don’t serve me, like that, to just slip away.” – Rachel Rudwall

]]>3124truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-minute-friday-digital-nomad-progression--52755355 This is a quick run-through of my journey to become a digital nomad - that is, a rundown of all the businesses I have had that have let me travel the world and create freedom in my lifestyle.
I often talk about being a digital nomad when asked to speak publicly or when presenting workshops or keynote speeches. Afterwards, people often come up to ask how I did it - how I became a digital nomad. But really, until you do it, you can't know what it is going to be like.
It's different for me than for anyone else.
When I talk about being a digital nomad, you don't hear about the boring things that go on behind the scenes; the endless following-up with prospective clients, business partners, and sponsors, the ceaseless efforts to try to make something happen, the thousands of hours of work that go on at home - unobserved, the head-banging frustration to figure things out, obsessing over whether something should be done this way or that, and the painstakingly small, repetitive actions that must be performed to insure success. These behind the scenes hours don't make for compelling stories, but know that every entrepreneur has to put in this time.
My journey to become a digital nomad started with the desire to be an entrepreneur. Although I was interested in full-time travelling eventually, I didn't let the daunting nature of this goal stand in my way. I just started with a coaching business. As a professional cyclist, I taught younger cyclists how to go pro. I trained them to become better athletes and to be better racers. I had clients and I was charging about $250 a month. When I decided to leave grad school and go abroad, I looked towards Asia and South America, places where you can live for about a thousand dollars a month. So, I needed four clients to equal my cost of living. When I had that, I basically knew that I could travel indefinitely.
That gave me the confidence to go to Vietnam, my first country. There was a time when these coaching clients graduated and moved on. I didn't have clients or income for some time and that was when I started the Art of Adventure podcast. Just like anything where you expect to get rich quick, podcasting was not the scheme I expected it to be. Art of Adventure is largely a free show but lots of people kept asking me how to start a podcast. They asked for help, walk-throughs, and advice. So, I started hosting podcast launch groups where people would come over to my house to practice interviewing and to learn how to set up a podcast. I helped a lot of people by podcast coaching and would make about $2000 per month.
At the same time, I was giving a lot of talks. I was speaking for free because I knew that I wanted to be on stage. Eventually I realized that, with everything I had learned from podcasting and all the books I had been reading, I could teach this stuff and get paid to speak. Then on Episodes 48 and 49 of the Art of Adventure podcast, I had David Wood as a guest and he talked about how easy it is to start a coaching practice. I ended up hiring him to teach me how to become a coach and how to coach more broadly about business and life. And so, that's how the coaching branch of my business was born - an idea from a guest on the podcast!
With that said, I've taken so many ideas from guests on the podcast.
A later guest suggested that I should write a book. Eventually I would turn content from the interviews I had done for the podcast into my book, Superconductors. I launched it as a crowdfunding campaign on Publishizer, who is now a sponsor of the Art of Adventure podcast.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=6228Sun, 24 Feb 2019 21:08:03 +0000Derek LoudermilkThis is a quick run-through of my journey to become a digital nomad - that is, a rundown of all the businesses I have had that have let me travel the world and create freedom in my lifestyle.

I often talk about being a digital nomad when asked to speak publicly or when presenting workshops or keynote speeches. Afterwards, people often come up to ask how I did it - how I became a digital nomad. But really, until you do it, you can't know what it is going to be like.
It's different for me than for anyone else.
When I talk about being a digital nomad, you don't hear about the boring things that go on behind the scenes; the endless following-up with prospective clients, business partners, and sponsors, the ceaseless efforts to try to make something happen, the thousands of hours of work that go on at home - unobserved, the head-banging frustration to figure things out, obsessing over whether something should be done this way or that, and the painstakingly small, repetitive actions that must be performed to insure success. These behind the scenes hours don't make for compelling stories, but know that every entrepreneur has to put in this time.
My journey to become a digital nomad started with the desire to be an entrepreneur. Although I was interested in full-time travelling eventually, I didn't let the daunting nature of this goal stand in my way. I just started with a coaching business. As a professional cyclist, I taught younger cyclists how to go pro. I trained them to become better athletes and to be better racers. I had clients and I was charging about $250 a month. When I decided to leave grad school and go abroad, I looked towards Asia and South America, places where you can live for about a thousand dollars a month. So, I needed four clients to equal my cost of living. When I had that, I basically knew that I could travel indefinitely.
That gave me the confidence to go to Vietnam, my first country. There was a time when these coaching clients graduated and moved on. I didn't have clients or income for some time and that was when I started the Art of Adventure podcast. Just like anything where you expect to get rich quick, podcasting was not the scheme I expected it to be. Art of Adventure is largely a free show but lots of people kept asking me how to start a podcast. They asked for help, walk-throughs, and advice. So, I started hosting podcast launch groups where people would come over to my house to practice interviewing and to learn how to set up a podcast. I helped a lot of people by podcast coaching and would make about $2000 per month.
At the same time, I was giving a lot of talks. I was speaking for free because I knew that I wanted to be on stage. Eventually I realized that, with everything I had learned from podcasting and all the books I had been reading, I could teach this stuff and get paid to speak. Then on Episodes 48 and 49 of the Art of Adventure podcast, I had David Wood as a guest and he talked about how easy it is to start a coaching practice. I ended up hiring him to teach me how to become a coach and how to coach more broadly about business and life. And so, that's how the coaching branch of my business was born - an idea from a guest on the podcast!
With that said, I've taken so many ideas from guests on the podcast.
A later guest suggested that I should write a book. Eventually I would turn content from the interviews I had done for the podcast into my book, Superconductors. I launched it as a crowdfunding campaign...]]>1022truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/david-solomon-magic-is-real--52755369 “Magic is the science of applied consciousness.” – David Solomon
 
Today’s Art of Adventure episode is probably the longest interview I've had to date and it’s all because my guest, David Solomon, is so incredibly fascinating. In addition to being a wizard, David is a Stanford MBA, has worked at Google, and is the author of Magic is Real: How to Create Reality, Manifest Miracles and Make Spirituality Fun Again!
In this episode, we learn what magic is and even how to do some! David has been studying magic and spiritual traditions around the world for decades. He is known as the "Tim Ferriss of spirituality." According to David, true magic is achieved through moments of unity consciousness, where you and that which you seek to influence are one. He teaches a path of spiritual growth, love, and ascension.
David is so well-versed that he had answers to many of my interesting and unusual questions. Thanks to having read and practiced for decades, David can back up his claims with a number of different studies. Suspend any disbelief and skepticism until you've heard the amazing David Solomon. The vast, well-explained, and diverse topics he explores will definitely pique your interest.
 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

* How mental energy impacts the material world
* What are the different dimensions of reality
* How bio-energy fields, chakra, and chi impact our lives
* The difference between heart-field and mind-field
* The organization of sacred geometry and the quantum principles

 

Quotes:

“Magic is the science of applied consciousness.” – David Solomon

“If you really believe something is possible, and you really believe it would change your life, isn’t it worth whatever resources you have to muster to experience it?” – David Solomon

“Believe in yourself. If you want to experience something in this life, if you know something is real, go for it!” – David Solomon

“We are mind, body, and spirit. Everything is important.” – David Solomon

]]>6893truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/five-minute-friday-gut-microbiome--52755245 I’m back with the Five-Minute Friday episode! Today, we talk about travel, the gut microbiome and the ability to eat anything, anywhere in the world! I used to be a microbiologist, so today I'm going to nerd out a bit and uncover a little science.
The world's most-traveled man, Mike Spencer Bown, told me that he believes his longevity, and the reason that he was able to travel for multiple decades, is his really good gut health. Without a strong gut microbiome, you may feel unhealthy, your digestive system may protest when you eat things outside your normal diet, and you may get sick more easily. To eat different foods comfortably, especially ones offered by the locals, I try to maintain a strong gut microbiome and eat a diet that supports that goal.
For those who do not know, our guts contain a community of thousands of species of microbes, including bacteria and single-celled organisms, known as the microbiome. Come to think of it, there's way more bacteria in you than there are human cells! The community in your gut is really important for a lot of reasons. For example, it prevents disease and helps hormonal regulation in your body; it has even been called the second brain.
Diversity is used to assess the strength of gut microbiomes. When I had mine sequenced a few years back, I found that I had one of the highest rates of diversity. This was a good sign because it meant that nutrients and vitamins were being produced in my body which were helping to keep me healthy.
There are some key things you need to keep in mind when focusing on your microbiome health and diversity: prebiotics, probiotics, and eliminating irritants from your body.
Hopefully, whether you are a traveler or not, you found this episode interesting and helpful. I love being able to share some of my microbiology background and to tie it to adventure for you!
Let me know if you learned anything from this episode!

In this Paternity Leave episode, we get to listen to Jordan Harbinger’s interview with Michael Scott Moore, from his podcast, The Jordan Harbinger Show. Here, Michael shares what he went through and how he survived his 32-month experience as a Somali pirate hostage.
Michael is an American-German novelist and journalist who went to Somalia in 2012 to do his on-location research about pirates, among others. In this trip, he expected to learn about the way of living of the Somalis. Little did he know that this trip would lead to an unforgettable hostage ordeal. He accounts the entire experience in his bestselling memoir, The Desert and the Sea.
You’ll love this episode as Michael shares the experience from captivity, to those times he tried to seek for help, how he tried to escape, and how he was finally set free. Throughout the entire experience, he learned a lot of things, like communicating with his captors, befriending the pirates and captives alike, and most remarkably, how to focus on something else when you are already living without hope.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

* Michael’s experience as a hostage, how he was kidnapped, and how he kept himself sane throughout the entire ordeal
* How Michael communicated with his mother and how he prepared what he was going to say and how he would say it
* How Michael sought for help from the navy, how he tried to jump ship and escape, and how was eventually released
* How and why piracy is still existing and prevalent in other parts of the world
* A little history and background about the Somali pirates

Quotes:
“My mind actually recoiled from what was going on; I actually saw myself in the process of denial.” – Michael Scott Moore

“The first thing I thought was how horrible it was going to be for my family because I didn’t want my own adventures in difficult parts of the world have an effect on my family.” – Michael Scott Moore

“I would wake up, sometimes three times a night, and go, ‘geez, I’m still in Somalia.’ And that was just miserable.” – Michael Scott Moore

“As a hostage, I was sitting on a lot of anger, and it just got worse.” – Michael Scott Moore

“Sometimes I felt murderous, and sometimes I felt suicidal. And so, I had to think about it very carefully.” – Michael Scott Moore

“When I leapt off the boat, I was happy. I had wanted to try to escape for so long, that once I did, I was just gleeful. That was just one of the best swims of my life. And that’s because it was just the most emotionally true thing to do even though it was not the most prudent.” – Michael Scott Moore

“The risk of deep and suicidal depression was very real, so I realized that to save myself from that, I had to detach myself emotionally from the whole cycle.” – Michael Scott Moore

“I managed to live without hope.” – Michael Scott Moore

“I learned to live just from day to day.” – Michael Scott Moore

“I would rather be a hostage under a cautious president than under a reckless one.” – Michael Scott Moore

“I lost a good chunk of my life in Somalia. But the effects on my mental focus were, I think, positive.” – Michael Scott Moore

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is my good friend Sara Callow, the founder/editor of Ubud Hood, a one-stop-shop for everything Ubud, Bali. An Australian with a penchant for traveling, she finally settled in Ubud when she realized she has found her home.
Sara and I first met in Ubud when were were doing yoga next to each other at a Michael Franti benefit yoga concert.
Sara has a background on photography and loved to travel. People often asked her for tips and ideas, especially when she went out and about Ubud. Realizing that there is a gap that needed to be filled in this area, she started posting online through her website and Instagram page in order to address the curiosity of those interested about Ubud.
You’ll love this episode as Sara shares how her online presence started and grew to what it is today. At the same time, we get to love and appreciate what Ubud has to offer, through our insider guide, the Ubud Hood.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

* How Sara created Ubud Hood
* How she creates her Instagram feed
* Sara's creative strategies
* What it is like being a foreigner running a business in Indonesia
* Perspective on foreigners interacting in a local community

Quotes:
“One of my blessings and my curses is that my mind is really creative.” – Sara Callow

“Through creating Ubud Hood, I actually learned a lot more about my own creative purpose and my own creative process.” – Sara Callow

“It took dedication... I’ve dedicated myself into doing this, so I really learned that point between the idea and the creation, the action, and the persistence, especially.” – Sara Callow

“It’s that process in the middle that a lot of creative people can’t push through until the end to create the reality.” – Sara Callow

“Be more mindful in being more creative.” – Sara Callow

]]>3306truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/adventure-story-time-living-in-malaga-spain--52755344
In 2007, I was an aspiring professional bicycle racer, and I went to Malaga, Spain for the winter to train. The goal was to go somewhere warm, with a strong cycling culture, in a Spanish-speaking country.

A cycling mentor was from the town of Frigiliana, Spain, and advised the southern coast of Spain (Costa del Sol) as an ideal winter training grounds for cyclists. I discovered that Andalucia has some of the best riding in the world! It also helped that my girlfriend at the time was already in Spain.

I want to tell you the story of moving to Malaga for three months, because this was before the 4 Hour Work Week and definitely before I had any inkling of the concept of a digital nomad. I had saved my money from first job, about $8000, which lasted me through the time I was there.
In this episode I'll tell you the stories of:

*  Finding a room in a giant shared house in Malaga (with roommates from 8 countries, only costing 120 Euros/month)
* Training every day through the mountains of Andalucia (beautiful "white towns", cork trees, olive groves, castles, bulls, old Spanish professional cyclists, and secret roads)
* A side trip to Mororcco (French commandoes running parkour, 400 year old jewel encrusted daggers, Riding the Marrakech Express)
* Meeting my Canadian cycling mentor
* Learning to cycle downhill with no brakes
* Visiting the Alhambra in Granada (one of the most beautiful buildings in the world
* My favorite town - Ronda (perched on a cliff and home of the oldest bull ring in Spain)
* Riding 8 hours just to go watch the Vuelta Andalucia/ Ruta Del Sol bike race (the single most epic day of cycling ever)
* My diet - Stealing avocados and cycling with sandwiches in my pockets
* Getting to know my local market, merchants
* Carnaval celebrations in Cadiz (sleeping in a giant tree, singing with the crowds)
* Visiting Barcelona and Gaudi's architecture (including Sagrada Familia - the most epic cathedral ever made)

Coffee in the White Towns]]>1916truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/oliver-white-the-fishing-legend--52755378


Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is the fishing legend, thought leader, owner of Bair's and Abaco Fishing lodges, and co-founder of Indifly, Oliver White. Oliver has carved a unique place for himself in the fishing world, as he is known for going to far off places and catching fish that have never been caught before. Oliver also created the Jungle Fish film that won the sustainability award at the Sundance Film Festival, showcasing his work with the people of the Guyanese village of Rewa and the Arapaima fish.
After a brief foray into the world of high finance in New York City working for a hedge fund, Oliver became the owner of two fishing lodges in the Bahamas. Oliver guides for lots of celebrities, but doesn't play up that fact. He has become a celebrity in his own right - changing the way people think about adventure and fishing.
We dig into into Oliver’s philosopher's mindset and we will seek to understand why he is so good at so many different endeavors. And we get a great story about his personal invitation from the royal family of Bhutan to come explore new fishing possibilities in the kingdom of happiness

What you’ll learn in this episode:

* How Oliver got interested in fishing
* The challenge of fly fishing
* How he got involved in the nonprofit, Indifly
* Oliver’s fishing adventures
* His Bhutan project with the Royal Family

Quotes:
“Every day that you fish, it’s like reading a book – you file that book away in your library. Now, after twenty years, after fishing and traveling the world, I’ve fished so many days, so I’ve read so many books I have filed away in this library. And every day that I go out, I have more information to pull out to help solve the next problem, and then build on that.” – Oliver White

“Part of the enjoyment (of fishing) is solving the puzzle.” – Oliver White

“It’s always the hindsight, the looking back, where you can really understand the value of various experiences.” – Oliver White

“As I look back in my whole life now, the things that I think are really important are passionate people who are interesting people. And it really doesn’t matter what they are passionate about.” – Oliver White

“No one in their life gets to where they are on their own.” – Oliver White

“Being genuinely interested in other people helps facilitate a lot of things.” – Oliver White

“I also find incredible value from this array of experiences that are available by being nomadic and bouncing and adapting all the time.” – Oliver White

“It is unique to pursue something you are really excited about.” – Oliver White

“It is important to be an advocated for the things that you find are important.” – Oliver White

I am able to quickly get some of the most amazing adventurers, entrepreneurs, and people that have a lot on their plate to come on the podcast.
So how do you get them to say YES to your request?


 
First, I start with a dream list:
Who do I want to interview?
Who would I love to learn from?
Who would be a great fit?
I will compile a list of the people I want to reach out to, including their email, Twitter, Instagram - different ways that I can reach out to them. I also do my homework. I learn about them from other people or articles about them, and I also read their books.
I compile the background that I need, enough for me to know about their work and to know why they would be a good guest on the show. I also find out what would motivate them to donate their time to come on the show and teach something to the audience. Also I look for any possible shared interests or ways of connecting that might help build rapport.
When I reach out to them via email I make sure that it is short and concise. Three to five sentences is perfect and visually it is nice and easy to read.
In the first sentence I establish who I am, to build connection and credibility. Then I explain my motivation for getting in touch with them,  and pick an area of their expertise that I want to learn from and hear their story about.
I then ask them if they would be interested in doing an interview, making it simple and easy for them to reply YES.
And lastly, if they don't respond, it doesn't mean that they don't want to help you or that they are not interested. It just means that they could not respond right there and then. So, following up is a polite thing to do. Don't give up, make sure you follow up.
Things you will learn in this episode:

* How to find good guests for your podcast
* How to build a connection and rapport
* How to structure a concise email
* The importance of the follow up email

An Adventurer (is):

* They would rather talk and learn about different people than ignore or avoid something they don’t understand
* With lines and border crossing and different customs, but dislike beaurocracy
* The only way to maintain your adventures is to be durable
* Understands the system and how to play. Are bribes needed? Are gifts needs? Polaroids as a tool for building rapport
* Mentally Tough. Can keep going for hours or days in uncomforatable situations
* Don’t show their fear. When facing a steep clif or a rebel army patrol, they assert their autonomy
* Use humor to smooth the way
* Stay alert. Adventurers trust their instinct they have honed along the way
* Know how to read people and situations
* Are good story tellers
* Are good listeners and good at gathering key information
* Solve problems. They are not worried about any set way of doing something as long as it works
* Celebrate awe and wonder along the way
* Place themselves in interesting situations. Seeking interesting ceremonies, buildings, tribes, mountains, etc.
* Can connect with people of different socioeconomic levels, nationality, station in life, etc.
* Are a little crazy and a little obsessed. When they get an idea in their head that wont stop until they make it happen – sometimes this sets a world record and sometimes they die trying.
* They know that they are rare, but don’t see themselves as superior
* Are honest with themselves about their situation. They don’t get hung up wishing things were different
* Says yes to opportunities
* Joins others on their adventures
* Often have a quest – an overall frameowkr of a grand mission they are trying to achieve – like visiting all the worlds countries or climbing the highest peak on each continent
* Helps others expand their world view and horizons

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the travel designer genius, Anna Mascaro. Anna founded Terracotta Travel and coordinates customized and luxurious destination travels, particularly in Europe.
I've had the privilege of working with Anna over the last year to get Terracotta off the ground.  The back story to this episode is really cool. Anna was a listener to the Art of Adventure and reached out to me to be her coach as she was leaving her stifling office job in London, moving to the island paradise of Palma de Mallorca, and founding the travel company that became Terracotta.
Now to complete the circle, she is a guest on the show to talk about how she runs her business. I even learned some things from our interview about how much knowledge she has built up about specific travel locations over the years
In this episode, Anna shares her hands-on approach with the travel itineraries that she makes for her clients, and how she herself goes into those areas for her to really experience what a place and its community has to offer. She also shares how to run a unique business like hers.
What you’ll learn in this episode:


How Terracotta Travel started
How she coordinates with locals
What it is like to run a business which involves personalization and a lot of travelling
How she values interaction with the locals in a community
How she creates perfect travel designs made specifically for her clients
How Anna herself is an "Encyclopedia of Possibilities"

Quotes:
“We’re really giving people a unique look in the culture of the islands.” – Anna Mascaro
“The guides really are they key as far as us being able to make connections on the ground with local people.” – Anna Mascaro
“We always take the interests of our client in mind.” – Anna Mascaro
“As a luxury travel designer, you come to appreciate everyone's work more” – Anna Mascaro
“Once you travel with Terracotta, you will never go back.” – Anna Mascaro

Superconductors is coming out July 2018 and I wanted share with you the two-year process that led to this book being published. I'll walk you through the development and writing process of the book up until launch, highlighting the key points along the way.  This is my first solo book, and first time working with the publishing industry, so this is just one example of how the process might work for you if you want to publish a book.

Timeline:

* In his podcast interview, JG Francouer suggests I have enough material for a book from the Art of Adventure podcast. August, 2016
* In September, 2016 I talked with Guy Vincent, founder of Publishizer, who suggested I run a book crowdfunding campaign on the Publishizer platform.
* Lee Constantine of Publishizer helps me create the Conductors campaign (the title was later changed to Superconductors) and book proposal.
* I used 99 designs to get a professional cover design to help make the project gain traction.
* In October, 2016 I ran the campaign and received 255 preorders for the book. Publishizer had set a target of 250 preorders - which they believed would increase the interest from publishers, and it did, even before the campaign was halfway over. I had more than 100 preorders by the end of the first day, which created lots of momentum for the campaign.
* To get the 255 preorders I relied on personal connections to buy 1-5 copies of the book and business to order the book in bulk as a sponsor, in exchange for rewards packages.
* After the campaign, the book was pitched to over 50 publishers, and 18 expressed interest in publishing the book. Publishizer acted like a book agent (they took a larger % fee from the crowdfunding than other platforms).  I would recommend any author to get an agent if they are going with the traditional publishing route - you want as much insider help as you can get, to keep things straightforward.
* After talking with several publishers, I decided to go with a traditional publisher, Kogan Page, to add credibility to the project and get the book into book stores around the world. The title of the book was changed to Superconductors: Revolutionize Your Career and Make Big Things Happen.
* In February, 2017, I signed a contract to deliver the book by the end of 2017.  I requested a small advance, as I would be purchasing copies of the book to send to the supporters of the Publishizer campaign.
* I was assigned an editor, and we set out a writing schedule for the book - to deliver two chapters a month, starting in April 2017.
* This is where things got messy for me - I outlined all the chapters and was writing each chapter a bit at a time.  By the time the first chapter was due, I had written 25% or so of each chapter.
* From June, 2017 forward, I was "behind schedule" for sending in complete first drafts.  I kept holding onto the chapters to make them better.  And basically even after many rounds of edits, I know they could be better still.
* I was probably writing about 20 hours/week until August 2017, then up to 40 hours/week until the final chapter was submitted (three months late) in February.

Superconductors is coming out July 2018 and I wanted share with you the two-year process that led to this book being published. I'll walk you through the development and writing process of the book up until launch, highlighting the key points along the way.  This is my first solo book, and first time working with the publishing industry, so this is just one example of how the process might work for you if you want to publish a book.

Timeline:

* In his podcast interview, JG Francouer suggests I have enough material for a book from the Art of Adventure podcast. August, 2016
* In September, 2016 I talked with Guy Vincent, founder of Publishizer, who suggested I run a book crowdfunding campaign on the Publishizer platform.
* Lee Constantine of Publishizer helps me create the Conductors campaign (the title was later changed to Superconductors) and book proposal.
* I used 99 designs to get a professional cover design to help make the project gain traction.
* In October, 2016 I ran the campaign and received 255 preorders for the book. Publishizer had set a target of 250 preorders - which they believed would increase the interest from publishers, and it did, even before the campaign was halfway over.

Recently, I took a group of entrepreneurs on AdventureQuest to climb Mt. Batukaru, the second highest volcano in Bali. It was an epic 10 hour trek to the top, through 4 different types of forests. We got back to our van after dark, using the lights from our phones to guide us. For many it was one of the hardest physical things they had ever done.

We spent time on the hike thinking of analogies for how climbing a volcano (or mountain) is like being an entrepreneur:

* You can't get to the top if you don't start
* You don't see all the steps along the way
* It pays to have friends helping and encouraging you
* You need to take breaks sometimes
* There is no one right way to get to the top
* It is a mental and physical game
* What you say to yourself is important
* You move through different ecosystems
* A guide can be important
* Tools and equipment can support you
* Trust your own abilities
* Notice who you are when things are challenging
* You get to choose if you are having fun
* Set intermediate goals along the way
* Once you have achieved it, you always have that accomplishment
* You are forced to be present

At the end of 2017, we purchased our first Airbnb investment property in St. Louis, Missouri, and this episode is all about how we found the right house and how we run the business!

Want to check out our AirBnb listing or come stay at our place? Here is is our house on AirBNB

We plan on returning to St. Louis to live in the house for half of each year

I have some friends that already have invested in Airbnb properties, mostly other digital nomads as well. One of them even has a podcast and has been on this show, Jasper Ribbers, host of Get Paid for Your Pad. He also has a book about Airbnb which I used as a reference guide.

I was thinking about buying an Airbnb property for quite some time, so, about six months ago, we bought a property in St. Louis, Missouri. We had spent some time picking out the exact neighborhood that we wanted to live in. Interestingly, this was going to be a house with split duty – we are going to live there sometimes and its going to be an Airbnb sometimes.

We looked for a neighborhood which was a great Airbnb market, which for us means it is near universities, big hospitals, and large corporations.  We picked one that was triangulated in between some of these features. We knew there would be a lot of people coming into town for things like conferences, graduations, hospital visits, and things like that.

We partly investing in the location, we just needed to find a suitably priced and suitably sized property. We ended up buying a four-bedroom property. We could rent out the entire place that can sleep ten or twelve people. There’s not much competition on the Airbnb market for houses this big. We don’t get everyday bookings, so when someone books us for two or three days in a week, that’s a pretty good profitability. We bought a house that is over a hundred years old but had been recently remodeled.

We paid a premium to have a house that was move-in ready. The house, in addition to the granite countertops in the kitchen, looks great. Everything has been redone as it was also already being rented as an Airbnb. The people that refurbished the house had beds, couches, towels, wine glasses, things like that in the property already. It was all included in the sale of property. We were ready to start making money!

We knew that we were going to be travelling for six months, before we would ever move in to the house, so we had six months of Airbnb rentals to take advantage of. We wanted to start making money on that right away.

As we were looking at houses, we realized that some of the things needed some updates. Normally, if you were planning your house, you would want a something with great paint and furniture. Even though we didn't love everything that came with the house, we decided, after getting the property, that we could improve it along the way. A lot could still be possibly done to the property which may improve the resale value of the home and the overall beauty of it.

We have been running our Airbnb this for six months now. We pay the former owner 20% of the rental income for the management and customer relations over the property. They have become our Airbnb mentor.

Our plan going forward how to make the most of our Airbnb property:

* Taking nicer photos. This does not add anything to the property, but it surely affects the way the property may be viewed. Interest is roused when there are captivating images of the place.


* Buying or adding useful furniture to the property, not just for the aesthetic appeal. Take into consideration that fact that it is your home, and you might need the essentials.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=5689Wed, 30 May 2018 05:58:31 +0000Derek LoudermilkAt the end of 2017, we purchased our first Airbnb investment property in St. Louis, Missouri, and this episode is all about how we found the right house and how we run the business!

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is John Logar, a speaker and consultant for consultants. He is a digital nomad who travels in style and luxury. He goes where his market is and helps people grow their coaching consulting businesses.

I met John at a mastermind event I attended in San Diego in 2017 and right away realized how he can simplify things for his clients and make them more money.  I hear his voice in my head telling me to "make an offer ever day", and it helps me get out there and keep telling people about my business.
John helps people see a bigger vision for themselves. He lives by example. He made millions of dollars last year alone and shares this knowledge to other entrepreneurs.
In this episode, we learn how John became the successful entrepreneur that he is today. John discusses how he frames his conversations into something that his client wants, because after all, as good people, we show others the inspiration to become the best they can be, and get to the bigger life.
What you’ll learn in this episode:


* Why John became a digital nomad
* Why entrepreneurs are not making enough offers to their customers.
* The most important things in making money in the marketplace.
* How to make large volume sales.
* Understanding the desires of people you are talking to.

Quotes:
“It's all based on what makes you happy.” - John Logar
“The people who perceived to have a bigger life, have created experiences to have that bigger life
"Do things, create things, and move to what you want to generate.” - John Logar
“When you perceive you have a high value, guess what? The market perceives you have a high value” - John Logar

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is John Logar, a speaker and consultant for consultants. He is a digital nomad who travels in style and luxury. He goes where his market is and helps people grow their coaching consulting businesses.

I met John at a mastermind event I attended in San Diego in 2017 and right away realized how he can simplify things for his clients and make them more money.  I hear his voice in my head telling me to "make an offer ever day", and it helps me get out there and keep telling people about my business.
John helps people see a bigger vision for themselves. He lives by example. He made millions of dollars last year alone and shares this knowledge to other entrepreneurs.
In this episode, we learn how John became the successful entrepreneur that he is today. John discusses how he frames his conversations into something that his client wants, because after all, as good people, we show others the inspiration to become the best they can be, and get to the bigger life.
What you’ll learn in this episode:


* Why John became a digital nomad
* Why entrepreneurs are not making enough offers to their customers.
* The most important things in making money in the marketplace.
* How to make large volume sales.
* Understanding the desires of people you are talking to.

Quotes:
“It's all based on what makes you happy.” - John Logar
“The people who perceived to have a bigger life, have created experiences to have that bigger life
"Do things, create things, and move to what you want to generate.” - John Logar
“When you perceive you have a high value, guess what? The market perceives you have a high value” - John Logar

We stayed at the totally rad and unique resorts called Temple Tree, which is linked to Bon Ton Resort

Temple Tree's rooms are actually a collection of heritage colonial houses from around Malaysia.

We stayed in the "Colonial House", which was built by Arab goldsmiths in Penang, nearly 100 years ago. Our room was upstairs and consisted of 6 separate rooms, and the downstairs had this beautiful tile floor with a lounge and dinner area. You could rent this house out for a big party!

Our favorite parts of the house were the wooden bathtub, multiple rooms, antique, period furniture and rugs, and relaxed nature of the whole resort.

We slept more hours (12) as a family in our first night there then we ever have!

Bon Ton was first a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur (the Malaysian Capital) and then a second restaurant was opened on Langkawi.  That evolved into Bon Ton Resort - which features a collection of traditional Malay tribal houses. Temple Tree was added later to help fund the owners pet project, the Langkawi Animal Shelter

In this episode you will hear about:

* Pantai Cenang Beach
* Temple Tree Resort and Bon Ton Resort
* Gunung Raya, 4,200 steps, and Geoforest Park
* Durian Perangin Waterfall
* The Langkawi Lucky Temple

We missed visiting the Skybridge as it was closed for maintenance

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is Jordan Harbinger, one of the best long form interviewers in the world, and the host of the new Jordan Harbinger Show
Jordan recently split with and can no longer access his former podcast, the Art of Charm. Over the past ten years, Art of Charm became one of the biggest podcasts in the world, with over 4 million downloads per month.
But after the split then Jordan was left with no platform, no income, and no brand.
Jordan had to quickly rebuild and rebrand with his new endeavor, the Jordan Harbinger Show.
We will dig in to exactly how he restarted from scratch, and how he used his network and connections to rebuild.
As a podcast host, I often model interviewing techniques from Jordan. His new show gives him even more freedom to get amazing guests and deconstruct their mental models.
In this episode, Jordan enlightens us as to how and when to ask the right questions, whether it be in normal conversations or interviews.
He also tells us that he thinks people don’t need to follow their passion to succeed in life. Passion is something developed along the way.
What you’ll learn in this episode:


Social hacks
Cashing in on social capital
What it was like to start over and create a new brand
Is podcasting still the best platform for interviews
What compels him to do interviews
What drives him to rebuild so quickly
How he prepares for interviews

 Quotes:
“I have become obsessed with the craft of interviewing.” – Jordan Harbinger
“I’m trying to get mental models, and that in itself is an artform.” – Jordan Harbinger
“Every minute of attention that you get from somebody, whether from podcast or in real life, you have to earn that minute.” – Jordan Harbinger

After more than two years of writing, research, and editing, I recently finished writing Superconductors, one of the hardest things I have ever done. I started thinking about all the successes I have achieved, especially the multi year endeavors, and looking at patterns or what led to successful out comes.  Here are some of the keys to doing really big hard long term projects:

 

*  Set a clear deadline. It could be draining to not know when something would end. Setting a clear deadline in reaching your goal will help you to prevent yourself from procrastinating.
* Have an emotional connection with the outcome. Search for that something that causes you to care so that you will be inspired to continue what you are doing.
* Stakes. If you set a deadline but there is no real consequences or benefit from hitting that deadline it is unlikely you will reach it. You need to have both a stick (something bad that will happen if you don't meet your goals) and a carrot (the good things that will come from hitting your goal).
* Get lots of help and support. Guidance and support are really important when doing hard things. The vote of confidence of other people and your family can help you accomplish your task. It would be easier if you set up a support structure.
* Maintain and manage your energy. Have that basic energy that allows you to show up each day. Do the bare minimum and maintain your physical body to have that high output.
* Track your progress. See what you have done so that you can judge and measure the quality of what you have done.
* Use your experience from other areas. Apply what you have learned what you have gone through in your life. You can always rely on your experience and grit when getting through difficult situations. Have a look at your success patterns and consider which have been the most helpful to you.

]]>559truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-instagram-is-changing-the-way-people-travel--52755399 Last week, I got up at 4:30 in the morning to go photograph a volcano. I had to climb a mountain, another volcano that was opposite this one, Mount Agung, to get there. Mount Agung is the one that recently erupted, by the way.
I wanted to get a photo of this volcano at sunrise before it was surrounded in clouds and shoot the photo through a temple gate. That’s actually very photogenic and that’s how I found out about this location in the first place. It’s a very magical, serene, and spiritual location.
About a year ago, or maybe six months ago, an instagrammer took a really amazing photo of this volcano in the middle of the temple gate and it went viral on Instagram. Now, people have been flocking to this spot to take a similar photo, myself included. And so, I invited my friends to join me on this. I didn’t actually expect them to wake up that early just to take a photo for Instagram, because to them, it was just an adventure. So I had four friends waiting for me at 5am, and we set off in our motorbikes. We had to drive an hour through the dark and wind our way to this curvy mountain road up to the temple known as the Temple of Thousand Steps, which is actually has 2100 steps. It was perfect. We hiked up the first set of steps to the main temple gate and there was Mount Agung with the sunrise hitting it from behind us right through the middle of the temple gate, and we got the perfect shot.
We noticed when we arrived that there were three or four local Balinese people standing, staffing the donation booth where you register. They ask for a donation. It was before sunrise that they are out there working. And I thought, wow, this is amazing, right? An Instagram viral photo has driven so many tourists here that they are staffing this temple full-time with people to accept donations. They told us that the donations would be spread around the village to any of the temples that needed maintenance or upkeep. As we were walking through this main temple complex area, we noticed all of the fresh gold paint on all of the temple artwork and there were new temple dragons made of marble. So clearly, this had brought this temple, location, and village a lot of tourism money.
Some people might say that because you are going there for a photograph, you are not experiencing it authentically, as you would if you didn’t have a camera. They say that you just have to go and appreciate the beauty and serenity of the surroundings. But you see, going to an Instagrammable location creates its own special type of adventure, its own special pilgrimage, if you will. You may also find in several locations that you want to go to because you want to recreate a photograph and make art, or you simply want to see this thing because it has been in photos all over Instagram or Pinterest, which is another visual story-telling medium. And so you create your travels around taking photos or experiencing instagrammable locations. It makes your travel  more meaningful as it gives you a mission or quest. Its like having a photo bucket list.
As we were there taking our photos, a Korean couple arrived with two local Balinese photographers. We gave them their chance to get photos without us getting in the way. They were getting their engagement photos taken. So, they had an about three-hour drive from the touristy area. To get there, you had to leave at about 3 am. It takes a very dedicated person to go and capture these images and they hired two photographers to come out and take this photo. I’m assuming they could only have known about this out-of-the-way temple in an un-populated and un-touristy area of Bali because of social media, especially Instagram.
So, if you want to know more about Instagram, I have a couple of great interviews with Brendan Burns and Elise Darma.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=5596Fri, 06 Apr 2018 19:32:51 +0000Derek LoudermilkLast week, I got up at 4:30 in the morning to go photograph a volcano.

Bali! Country #10 as a family
Travelling with your family is definitely different compared to travelling solo. When you are with your family, you want some degree of safety and comfort, and a lot of other considerations.
Me and my family have been to twelve countries in the first fifteen months since my son, Axel, was born.
Let's start with the airports. We have been flying to all these different places and one of the important things  is the access to the airport lounges. There, you can get your meals, have some rest, and take showers. You can even grab a free alcoholic beverage  for yourself if you are stressed out. The key is to make the transit much easier. We have also been very lucky and strategic about booking so that we try to get three or four seats in a row for long international flights so that Axel can sleep for long flights. He has been flying for free until he is two, so flying with an extra seat for a baby is really awesome.
So where have we been? We have been to Mexico, Croatia, Budhapest, Hungary, and now in Bali, after stints in the US and various little side trips.
Mexico was our test run. We were in a family house and it was in this local village, where the roads are made of sand. The poor internet connection made it hard to work. Other than that, Mexico is very cheap and we met people and did some road trips. That was where we learned how awesome people at reastuarants can be - they can watch and hang out with your kids. We had a stroller in all of these countries except for Bali. We just carry him through a carrier.
Croatia was our favorite country because we lived next to the sea. You are allowed there for three months, and it was outside the Schengen zone so you can move in and out of the European countries nearby.
The key was building the community quickly by reaching out to the people. We did it through connecting with people directly though Instagram. Also, expat Facebook groups were of great help in finding english-speaking friends before we arrive in a country.
Another useful tip is to scope out the real estate in an area so that we can check the rates of housing in these places, the good neighborhoods, and for setting the budget.
Getting help. If you are traveling with family, you often wonder whether you can get help. As for my family, we have been able to find local people who help watch our baby for two to four hours a day. It's well worth the investment to free up some time and focus on work. It also supports the local economy. It's a great connection to the neighborhood.
Medical. Recently, our kid had his first fever. We basically rely on local doctors when we go to places. In Hungary, I had a tooth filling come out and had it replaced. I've seen various specialists in different places. There is medical tourism, and Hungary is actually one of the places where the most of Europe go to for dentistry because there are really skilled and, also inexpensive. We are not relying on our US-based insurance and generally just pay out of pocket.
Food. We usually do breakfast and lunch at home and often go out for dinner. Food is generally so accessible that you want to have your meals out. In places like the Budapest or Bali, you have the whole world of cuisine available for you.
Languages. I tried to learn Hungarian but it is very complex. Its such a complicated language, so its much more valuable to learn through body language. This is actually a skill you take with you from country to country.
Timing. When moving to a new country, it takes three weeks to adjust to a routine. When you are adjusting, you tend to have more friction in the family.

]]>2331truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/brendan-burns-theadventuredaze-monetizing-your-instagram-and-building-a-lifestyle-business--52755261

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is Brendan Burns, founder of @TheAdventureDaze. Brendan is a coach and online instructor who has organically grown his Instagram accounts over 100,000 followers.  Brendan loves lifestyle design and wants people to follow their passion and find a way to monetize that.
I originally connected with Brendan on Instagram and after we chatted, I knew I needed to have him on the podcast.
Brendan is currently based in New York but grew up in Long Island. He went to Cornell University in Ithaca, where he got his undergraduate, law, and dual MBA degrees. He worked for a couple of years in the Wall Street, until one day, he finally decided to pursue his passion, that is, travelling and entrepreneurship.
In this episode, Brendan shares the story on how he got into Instagram and how he became an influencer. He explains how Instagram works and how it will work for anyone who wants to earn from it. He is currently focusing on his business and self-development tools and strategies that help people achieve their highest potentials.
Before this Interview, I personally took Brendan's Instagram training course, and it helped me save tons of time while continuing to grow my account. Even though I already knew about some things like posting times and commenting, I learned about automation, direct messaging, and some of the technical detail for how to actually make money from someone that follows you on Instagram. It's also super affordable compared to other Instagram courses I have seen out there.
What you’ll learn in this episode:

* How Brendan grew his Instagram and an epic business out of it
* How to have a strong Instagram following
* How to spend less time in managing your Instagram account
* How he went from zero to thousands of dollars a month in less than two years
* How to be Instafamous
* How systems drive business growth

Quotes:

“There is tremendous value in going full-time.” - Brendan Burns

“It’s all about creating this community of repeat buyers, but more importantly repeat fans where you give them a lot of value and they benefit.”- Brendan Burns

“It’s a lot less selling and more about delivering value and meeting people’s needs.”- Brendan Burns

“We often compare our insides to other people’s outsides.”- Brendan Burns

]]>2267truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-to-be-confident--52755431 Confidence is the number one thing that entrepreneurs tell me wish they had more of.
"I would be able to make more sales, give a speech, and make new friends if I were more confident"
But how to be confident? Confidence has many layers.
First is the outer layer.  This is shown in what you wear and how you carry yourself. This is basically one’s charisma. This is what you talk about, and is something that you can work on. This includes one’s body language and posture.
The next layer is what you associate yourself with – what you do for work, where you went to school, who your friends are.
And the final layer, the deep core of confidence and the most important one, is knowing who you are.
So how do you strengthen that inner core of confidence?
Confidence is really a practice of courage – which is perfect for adventurous people! Adventure is one of the best ways to build confidence because it is this conviction that you will be able to succeed even if you’ve never done something before. With confidence, any person would want to make it. You will be convinced that you will be able to gain skill expertise in any new and unknown area.
You need to challenge yourself regularly. Get out of your comfort zone. Try new things. Learn from people who are confident in your ability to connect. Get the mentorship that you need. Have good experience with the people you meet.
So, it’s partly about our ability to connect with people and its partly about our ability to acquire new skills.
Taking a page out of the Native American playbook, they have this tradition where they would sit around the campfire at the end of the day and tell stories of bravery and courage. What this does is it locks in the identity that you are courageous, that you are doing scary, hard, and challenging things. This will help your confidence.
You decide if you’re going to be confident. It always comes down to our identity. And if you look back to all the challenges that you’ve conquered throughout your life, and tell stories of it, this really confirms for you that you are an amazing person!
Start telling stories of your courage and bravery, and your successes. Convince others and at the same time, convince yourself. Most importantly, tell yourself that you are a confident person.
Walk into that room and take control, just like a confident person would!
So, ask yourself: What could you do if you were completely confident?

In this inspiring episode, Tom talks about fear, and being selfish when it comes to taking care of ourselves. He stresses that we need to take care of ourselves first because after all, you can’t fill others if you have an empty cup.
Tom is quite the adventurer, as he has done so many great things. He is currently in the middle of completing his Adventure Grandslam, that is, summitting the highest peak in every continent. He has done six out of the seven, with only Mount Everest left to go.
In this episode, Tom takes us with him through his adventures, most notably, during that time when he called a leadership summit while at a summit. He called in to Zurich while he was in the Antarctica and talked about being grateful, struggle, fear, and overcoming these. He was actually calling in from the coldest place on earth, through a satellite phone, in the middle of a snow storm!
What you’ll learn on this episode:


What it takes to prepare for mountaineering summits
Importance of taking care of one’s self
Taking control of fear
The trouble about having fears
Having courage to do what you want in life
Saying, “yes, I can do this.”
How aviation saved his life
Teamwork and leadership
Everybody deals with stress differently
Choosing to be healthy
Living with integrity
Living on purpose

Quotes:
“I wasn’t born this way, everything that I do is learned from experience.”
“You have to face your fears.”
“And that’s what you really can do: attempt things.”
“Fear is an opportunity to discover things about yourself.”
“To overcome these fears that we all have, you need ‘everyday courage’.”
“Fear is your body telling you that there is something to learn here.”
“Live your life with love, respect, and integrity.”
“There are a lot of problems because people are not living their dream lives.”
“It will start with being selfish but it will trickle down and you will have an impact on the world and everybody you meet.”
“If you don’t scare yourself at least once a week, then you’re not living.”
“When you start stepping into the fear, a calmness will come over you, and you’ll start really living your life and you become happy.”
“It’s a must: you must take care of yourself first.”
“If you don’t have your health, you have nothing.”

This is the fifth year I have published my annual review and goals for the upcoming year. If you are curious about how I have honed the process, here are the yearly reviews for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and the goals setting posts for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. This annual review process is inspired by Chris Guillebeau who has been publishing his annual reviews for several years and has a free spreadsheet for you to download and do you own review.  This year I am also using Orian Marx' Lifecrafting Annual Review.

Because I am largely an optimistic person by nature, I tend to look back at most things as having been successful. And of this positive bias, this process is valuable because it enables me to take a brutally honest look at what did not go well, so that I can keep learning and improving. If you are someone who sometimes feels you have not gotten much done this year, you might actually be surprised once you go through this review process as we tend to overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can achieve in a year.

This post will look at what went well and what did not for 2017. My hope for sharing this is to both inspire you to conduct your own annual review, and to give some insight into how I structure the process and reflect upon my year.

Other posts in the 2017 Annual Review Series:

* 2018 Goals and Plans
* 2017 Adventures and Travel
* Top 10 books read in 2017

This is the fifth year I have published my annual review and goals for the upcoming year. If you are curious about how I have honed the process, here are the yearly reviews for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and the goals setting posts for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. This annual review process is inspired by Chris Guillebeau who has been publishing his annual reviews for several years and has a free spreadsheet for you to download and do you own review.  This year I am also using Orian Marx' Lifecrafting Annual Review.

Because I am largely an optimistic person by nature, I tend to look back at most things as having been successful. And of this positive bias, this process is valuable because it enables me to take a brutally honest look at what did not go well, so that I can keep learning and improving. If you are someone who sometimes feels you have not gotten much done this year, you might actually be surprised once you go through this review process as we tend to overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can achieve in a year.

This post will look at what went well and what did not for 2017. My hope for sharing this is to both inspire you to conduct your own annual review, and to give some insight into how I structure the process and reflect upon my year.

Today's guests on the Art of Adventure podcast are Kit and Rosie Volcano. This is Part One of a two-part interview with the Volcanos. This episode is a bit different as we get to explore gender, personal identity, sexuality, relationships – topics which do not normally fall in the Art of Adventure, but in reality, is really still all about adventure!
Kit is a transgender man. He says that being in a body sometimes feels weird. He is now in an adventure with gender and sees where it goes. He shares that he has feminine parts that he love but leans more on the direction of being masculine. On the other hand, Rosie has not considered transitioning. She played with gender when growing up and made sure she would be as tough as any boy should be. She enjoys exploring masculine roles but also enjoy looking and presenting as a woman. As a kid, Rosie never pretended to be different and was open to express who she really was, as her family was very accepting of her.
Kit and Rosie started out as a lesbian couple, until Kit's transition.The couple is always asked about their relationship and the transition that they have gone through. They share that they have been married for five years, and have known each other for a decade. The couple does yoga, coaching, and yoga retreats on volcanoes! They empower people to live courageously through their coaching and transformative bodywork.
In this episode, be drawn by the zest and openness of the couple. Join them in their adventure in exploring gender and sexuality. Kit and Rosie shares about the transition and says that everyone comes at it from different angles. There are always challenges and struggles and these make a person stronger and resilient. If there are no challenges, one would have no strength to become who he is today. One can't shelter people from the world, but no matter how hard the struggle, on the other side, there is always something beautiful. As the couple emphasizes, what lies on the other side is always something better.
What you'll learn on this episode:


* Gender adventure
* Personal identity and relationships
* Sexuality
* History of the couple
* Kit's transition
* The couple's transition
* What it is like being in a transgender relationship

When you are at the turn-around point of a cave dive, you are farther away from help than the astronauts on the International Space Station! So it is dangerous, yes, but also exciting!  There are very few people who ever get to see deep underground in a water filled cave. Here are eight of the things I learned from my cavern diving course.


* Trust is Key. Trusting your buddy, your air supply, your line out of the cave, your and your skills are what allow you to survive
* Cave Diving opens up news ways of thinking. In a normal cave, you explore by walking and crawling around on the floor. In cave diving, if you want to swim up to the ceiling, you can. If you want to go through a narrow hole or passageway, just float through. Sometimes you can simply change your orientation in the water and a problem looks completely different. Because you don’t have daylight to guide you, where you point your light directs the information you get and your focus.
* There are not as many rules as you might think. The number one rule is to come back alive. I thought that I had to hold on to my line the entire time, but when I asked, I realized I could leave the line, as long as I could return. The dive can be as long as you want, as long as it is within your air limits and all buddies are still good. You can explore a small area as much as you want, if you find it interesting – you don’t have to keep moving.
* “Task loading” can lead to mistakes. While learning to cave dive, you need to learn several new skills at the same time: Running a life line, using lights to signal, buoyancy control, keeping your gear streamlined, and managing air supply to name a few. Its so easy to start kicking up silt from the bottom of the cave why you are trying to concentrate on tying off your safety line, then you start to use too much air and you loose your buddy-a sequence of small annoyances can add up quickly.
* Progressive mastery gives you confidence. To fully explore caves miles underground, you need five levels of certification and dozens of training dives. Because the sport is so complex and dangerous (people die), you need to be slowly collect the skills you need to succeed.
* Have the right trainers and partners. Our dive instructor is well known around the world as one of the most skilled instructors. By being trained by him, we can piggyback off his good reputation. You can get subtle constructive criticism to improve your skills much faster.
* There are always going to be people that push the limits. We encountered a team of divers that had recently completed a 17-hour dive, and extended the mapping of an existing cave system by several hundred feet, and hundreds of feet below ground. To do this, they needed 13 hours of decompression time in order to avoid getting the bends.
* Stories are the second best way to learn. The entire training weekend, I would ask the more experienced divers and instructors what they had done in various situations. Hearing how they handled things taught me nearly as much as going in to the cave to practice skills.

Do you want to supercharge your health, energy, focus, stamina, and resilience? Superfoods might be the answer for you , especially if you are a busy traveler, entrepreneur, or digital nomad.

I've been traveling full time for four years and I always bring along my pantry of key superfoods and supplements to maximize my health and energy. I recently asked hundreds of digital nomads and full time travelers to name their top superfoods and supplements that they always travel with.  Here are the results in order of most popular:

* Magnesium. When I fly back to Bali from the US, people always have me bring them some magnesium powder. Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports regular blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. In many places, you might not get enough magnesium from your diet because of magnesium poor growing conditions
* Green Superfood Powder. This is like getting all your veggies at once! Great if you are traveling and don't have access to fresh vegetables or fruits. I always drink some of this the first few days after I fly to a new continent. A good blend will have several green superfoods in it like moringa, wheat grass, and spirulina.
* Chia Seeds. Great source of Omega 3 and 6, they are great for hydrating.  I started adding these to my sports drinks after hearing about the Tarahumara indian runners using chia drinks in Born to Run. We have found that this is pretty easy to find in many countries, you might not need to carry more than a small package with you in your luggage.
* Fish Oil. Other travelers preferred krill oil. Fish oil has wide ranging cardiovascular and neurological benefits.
* Coconut Oil. Coconut oil has medium chain triglycerides, which are great for brain health. Concentrated MCT oil is on of the key ingredients in Bulletproof coffee. It's also great for cooking with, and we sometimes use it as baby lotion.
* Nut Butter. Personally, I'm a big fan of Justin's Almond Butter Packets. When I used to work as a food microbiologist, we tested his products and they were awesome!
* Cacao Powder. Literally the superfood of the gods. In the Mayan tradition, cacao (chocolate) was money, and only the spiritual leaders and rulers were allowed to drink it. So many important antioxidant and trace minerals. This is my number one brain food
* Maca Powder. Another ancient South American superfood, used by Incan warriors. I'm a big fan of Black Maca, the best version for athletes - muscle building, stamina, and focus. In general, Maca is useful for endocrine health (which in turn enhances libido). Tastes pretty good when added to smoothies.
* Ashwagandha. A root that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for millennia, I found that this was super strong for me.  I add a teaspoon to smoothies in conjunction with maca and experienced a ton of "fire in my belly".
* Shilajit. This was one that I was less familiar with. Shilajit is basically organic resin that seeps from rocks in the Himalayas. You add only a very small amount to your water and it gives you a steady "internal fire". Takes some getting used to with the taste, but now I like it.

Bonus! I personally travel with these superfoods:

* Pine Pollen. The only superfood with testosterone (not just precursors) in it,]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=5242Fri, 27 Oct 2017 02:59:24 +0000Derek LoudermilkDo you want to supercharge your health, energy, focus, stamina, and resilience?

2955truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/seven-things-i-learned-at-oktoberfest--52755266
Do you want to experience the world's famous beer festival? The Oktoberfest is one of the largest festivals in the world for about 7 million attendees. It is a 16-day to 18-day celebration running from mid September to the first weekend in October held in Munich, Germany annually.

I was lucky enough to witness this superb celebration about food, music, and lots of beer. I was able to enjoy the festival fully and I will share with you today all the stuff I learned that will help you maximize the fun!

This is a 5-minute Friday episode where I give you the 7 lessons I learned from my experience in Oktoberfest last week.

* Celebration is sooo important.  Basically Oktoberfest is like a giant Thanksgiving – it’s about the food and music as much as it is about the beer. Celebrations are all the more important because it is so common to focus on the negative, in fact our neurology is wired that way. I see with my entrepreneur peers all the time – even if they accomplish ten amazing things on their to do list, they focus on the one little thing they didn’t get done. Celebrating helps us be grateful, it brings people together, it gives us something to look forward to, helps us be more interesting to others, and it helps us demarcate one step of our lives to the next.
* Minimalism is scary and liberating. As an eagle scout I learned to " be prepared". I hardly ever leave the house without a backpack, water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, and a jacket, but all I took to Oktoberfest was my wallet and phone (my mates even carried the house keys and train pass). I felt naked but so light and free at the same time! It also highlighted that minimalism is a privilege of people with money. You see homeless people pushing grocery carts or post depression era hoarders because, “you never know when you might need something”.
* Conformity is a strong force. Probably 75 % of people at Oktoberfest are wearing the traditional outfits: Lederhosen and Dirndl and it looks really good. I wasn’t planning on buying anything because I don’t need any more stuff, but I spent so much time wishing I had that outfit, that I broke down and bought a traditional Bavarian hat.
* Drinking is a lifehack to get into flow states. Why do so many people like drinking? Because it forces you to live in the now, and brings you quickly into a flow state, like surfing or doing art. Call it escapism, but if you can model your focus on the present moment in your sober life, you won't need to escape from anything.
* It pays to be early. For pretty much everything in life, being early. Early adopter, early investor, early supporter, etc. At Oktoberfest, we woke up at the ungodly hour of 6 AM on a Sunday to be the first in the gate to be the first to get a table, so we could have a permanent spot in the middle of the best tent.
* Experiences are more valuable than things. Why has Oktoberfest continued for over 200 years? Why is it on everyone’s bucket list (including mine)? Because it is one of the most amazing experiences in the world! Oktoberfest started as a wedding celebration and people loved it so much that it kept going all these years. Creating an amazing experience for people is also not replicable by robots, artificial intelligence, or outsourcing (so it is a great way to get rich!)
* Maximize your adventure by planning less and asking the locals. On our second day, we met some people in line at the gate who gave us the scoop on “Gay Sunday” at a certain tent. This tradition has been running for 45 years and was definitely the most interesting and fun tent we could have attended at the whole event.

3168truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/eleven-rants-and-lessons-from-four-years-as-a-digital-nomad--52755460
Are you ready for a location independent life? If you are, I tell you, it's not all about booking a one-way ticket to another country, sitting in front of your laptop, doing some digital work. It's a lot more than that. Having the chance to live as a nomad allows you to experience various cultures, languages, traditions, currencies and more. And as you go through this journey, you get to realize that there's more to the world than what we read in the books or on the internet. As they say, "Experience is the best teacher".

Today, I bring to you another 5-minute Friday episode where I give you a peek into my four-year quest as a Digital Nomad.

If you are thinking about escaping your corporate life and join me in this digital world, here are some lessons I learned that I will be sharing with you today. And if you already have a location independent job, then listen in and let me know about your own lessons, as well.


1. We don’t need borders anymore. It is the most annoying thing in the world to have them, and people find a way to migrate one way or the other. With an increasing number of war and climate related refugees, we have to be prepared for massive human migration.



2. The people in developing countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Ukraine, and Hungary have more optimism about their future than in established economies like the US or the UK. Up to 60% of people in Vietnam are entrepreneurs with their own business or a side gig – anything from selling pineapples to creating apps.



3. Smaller governmental entities are better at serving the needs of their people than national governments. Neighborhoods, city governments, and mayors can enact change much more quickly than a large central government. In the Banjar system in Bali for example, the village reaches a consensus and building on a new temple can begin the same day. In structures like the canton system in Switzerland, and the city-state system of the ancient Mediterranean, ore autonomy led to creating solutions that work the best for that particular area.



4. Cities can effectively compete for the best talent to live thereby creating the space for location independent workers and treating them the best. If you can live and work anywhere, move to the place that has the most number of things you value whether it is mountains or community or restaurants or sunshine or safety or the ocean. “Go here you are treated best,” is the motto of the Nomad Capitalist, Andrew Henderson”

6. When you compete in the global marketplace it is impossible to understand hierarchy. Instead of the traditional ability to compare yourself to your competition in your local town, you have millions of competitors around the world – there is no way to effectively rank who is the best and have it be understandable.

Are you ready for a location independent life? If you are, I tell you, it's not all about booking a one-way ticket to another country, sitting in front of your laptop, doing some digital work. It's a lot more than that. Having the chance to live as a nomad allows you to experience various cultures, languages, traditions, currencies and more. And as you go through this journey, you get to realize that there's more to the world than what we read in the books or on the internet. As they say, "Experience is the best teacher".

Today, I bring to you another 5-minute Friday episode where I give you a peek into my four-year quest as a Digital Nomad.

If you are thinking about escaping your corporate life and join me in this digital world, here are some lessons I learned that I will be sharing with you today. And if you already have a location independent job, then listen in and let me know about your own lessons, as well.


1. We don’t need borders anymore. It is the most annoying thing in the world to have them, and people find a way to migrate one way or the other. With an increasing number of war and climate related refugees, we have to be prepared for massive human migration.



2. The people in developing countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Ukraine, and Hungary have more optimism about their future than in established economies like the US or the UK. Up to 60% of people in Vietnam are entrepreneurs with their own business or a side gig – anything from selling pineapples to creating apps.



3. Smaller governmental entities are better at serving the needs of their people than national governments. Neighborhoods, city governments, and mayors can enact change much more quickly than a large central government. In the Banjar system in Bali for example, the village reaches a consensus and building on a new temple can begin the same day. In structures like the canton system in Switzerland, and the city-state system of the ancient Mediterranean, ore autonomy led to creating solutions that work the best for that particular area.



4. Cities can effectively compete for the best talent to live thereby creating the space for location independent workers and treating them the best. If you can live and work anywhere, move to the place that has the most number of things you value whether it is mountains or community or restaurants or sunshine or safety or the ocean. “Go here you are treated best,” is the motto of the Nomad Capitalist, Andrew Henderson”



5. Some people gain the ability to work from anywhere and they choose to stay at home because they have a community at home, are scared of other cultures, or are simply uncomfortable with any real change.

What do you listen to when you make decisions? Should you listen to intuition, statistics, or experience?

This is a 5-minute Friday episode about the Invisible Scripts, the voices and programs in our mind that control our decision making.

This episode talks about the variety of influences on our dreams and decisions. Our lives often unknowingly followed a script written by tradition, culture, and heritage. But this is not always the right path to lead. Do not just do what the world tells you to do. Sometimes, we should forget all these rational decisions and listen to those butterflies within us.

From my Graduate School Days at Montana State

I was talking with Jeff Shapiro the other day – he is a paraglider, rock climber, BASE jumper, and wing suit athlete that has had many of his friends die from these dangerous pursuits. We were talking about risk management and what voice in your head you should listen to when you are doing a highly dangerous activity and want to minimize the risk of death. It got me thinking about decision making and why intuition is so hard to listen to.

If it were easy to listen to our intuition, I wouldn’t have been divorced just 16 months after I got married.

I knew deep down that I didn’t want to get married, I wasn’t even sure whether I wanted to stay in a relationship. But I also knew that I loved my ex and wanted to make her happy.

My intuition was telling me “Don’t get married”.

Another voice said, “It’s the right thing to do. You owe it to her after dating for three years.”

Another voice said, “Getting married will save the relationship”.

Now with hindsight, I see that my intuition would have been the right voice to listen to.

What about with career decisions? What do the voices in our heads tell us?

I followed a dream of becoming a professional cyclist, but then I stopped to follow a different dream of becoming a scientist. This was a very confusing decision because it was a mix of my own dream and dreams came from other people. Cycling was my dream. Being a scientist was a script I inherited from somewhere, it wasn’t totally mine.

I always wanted to be an explorer and adventurer. I was chasing a feeling of being a hero. With bike racing, that was covered.

Going after a PhD in microbiology was a mash up of my true dream of being an explorer (because I was doing extremophile research in Yellowstone National Park) and my invisible script telling me to be a scientist.

This invisible script wasn’t something I got from anyone in particular, but a presumed destiny I picked up along the way in life. My teachers told me I was good at science and biology, my father was a microbiologist, and I think science is really cool, so all the arrows pointed toward a career in science.

When I was out in the field collecting samples, I was living ‘my dream’, but when I was back in the lab analyzing them, I was living someone else’s dream. And the rational voice in my head and my intuition couldn’t really figure out what wasn’t working for me.

I recently finished reading Charlamagne Tha God’s book “Black Privilege”. In it, he talks about how his mentor told him “fuck your dreams if they aren’t yours”. Charlamange wanted to be a rapper and he was no good, but his mentor saw that he was a natural behind the mic as a radio DJ. He was only chasing the dream of being a rapper because sports and rapping were the two main ways out of the hood.

I already have dreams for my nine month old son. I see innate talent and ability in him that I hope he gets to take to advantage of.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=5164Fri, 15 Sep 2017 09:07:44 +0000Derek Loudermilk"There are all kinds of different voices in our heads, and often we are listening to our rational mind instead of our intuition."

"The ability to focus is one of the most valuable skills you can cultivate"

How long can you stay focused on something without getting bored? Can you end a day without any distractions - no phone, no internet?

I've written before about how I learned to be more present with my son, Axel, and how that helped me concentrate when I go to work on a challenging project.

This is a 5-minute Friday episode about the Power of Focus, the ability to concentrate on something for a significant time without any interruptions.

Focus and concentration is what allows the worlds best minds to generate brand new thoughts and ideas.

This episode talks about how focus leads to productivity and success. A lot of people are having difficulty in focusing - including ME! I realized I often lacked focus and wanted to challenge myself to structure my life to increase this skill - starting from spending time with my son longer without picking up my phone.

And I challenge everyone to do go longer without your favorite distraction and let me know how it goes.

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is an amazing person with a big heart. He founded a charity organization to help those who are in need and he gets ZERO salaries in return. His compensation is the smiles from the people they are able to help.

Gret Glyer is the founder of DonorSee, an app that lets you help the world’s poorest people and then show you through videos where your hard-earned money went.  This is a perfect avenue to give your money and see for yourself the impact your money made.

I wanted to have Gret on the show, because so many of us are trying to figure out the best way to help and donate to charity, but its a complex decision.

For 3 years, Gret lived in Malawi, one of the poorest places in Africa. He started out by helping a homeless old lady raise fund to build her a home before the rainy season starts. This started a journey of helping the poorest people find donors for their most immediate needs. During his stay in Malawi, he was able to build 100 houses for the homeless and famously crowdfunded $100,000 to build a girl’s school.

If you want to learn more about the DonorSee and why it chose to forgo the traditional route, I recommend you read the DonorSee’s Superior Humanitarian Aid Model.

What you will learn on this episode:

* Basic concept of DonorSee
* Idea behind DonorSee
* What makes it different from other charities
* Why they chose to use for-profit model
* How to donate and where your money goes
* Can ordinary citizens post on DonorSee
* Disparity between the rich and the poor
* Motivation behind the charity
* Living conditions in Malawi
* What makes a good or bad charity organization
* Sustainability of the projects
* Who are the aid workers
* Solving unpredictable revenue problems

Quotes

"There is so little conversation about the best interests of the end user of charitable giving" - Grey Glyer

"Africans are more expressive because they can't afford to numb out" - Grey Glyer

"DonorSee is also building sustainable infrastructure" - Grey Glyer

"How much better can your life be if you step outside your bubble?" - Grey Glyer

"The best charities are highly decentralized or highly specialized" - Grey Glyer

"To feel fulfilled, give until you have to sacrifice - Grey Glyer

For 3 years, Gret lived in Malawi, one of the poorest places in Africa. He started out by helping a homeless old lady raise fund to build her a home before the rainy season starts. This started a journey of helping the poorest people find donors for their most immediate needs. During his stay in Malawi, he was able to build 100 houses for the homeless and famously crowdfunded $100,000 to build a girl’s school.

If you want to learn more about the DonorSee and why it chose to forgo the traditional route, I recommend you read the DonorSee’s Superior Humanitarian Aid Model.

What you will learn on this episode:

* Basic concept of DonorSee
* Idea behind DonorSee
* What makes it different from other charities
* Why they chose to use for-profit model
* How to donate and where your money goes
* Can ordinary citizens post on DonorSee
* Disparity between the rich and the poor
* Motivation behind the charity
* Living conditions in Malawi
* What makes a good or bad charity organization
* Sustainability of the projects
* Who are the aid workers
* Solving unpredictable revenue problems

Quotes

"There is so little conversation about the best interests of the end user of charitable giving" - Grey Glyer

"Africans are more expressive because they can't afford to numb out" - Grey Glyer

"DonorSee is also building sustainable infrastructure" - Grey Glyer

"How much better can your life be if you step outside your bubble?" - Grey Glyer

"The best charities are highly decentralized or highly specialized" - Grey Glyer

"To feel fulfilled, give until you have to sacrifice - Grey Glyer

 ]]>3269truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-art-of-asking--52755286
 

“When you ask for something, it tells the universe that you’re ready to have it.”

How comfortable are you with asking for what you want? How comfortable are you getting a no when you ask for something?

This is a 5-minute Friday episode about the Art of Asking. One of the most important skills for success as an entrepreneur and adventure traveler.

Learning to ask more and getting comfortable with rejection has helped me build my confidence and led to so many more opportunities.

 

On this episode, you will learn about what asking could give you. I will share some amazing experiences that happened only by taking a risk and asking. We even got to stay in a 5-star hotel in a castle, for free, just by asking. How cool is that? Never be afraid to ask. If you’re afraid to ask because of the fear of getting a NO, then you’ll never know if you’re going to get a YES.

I also highly recommend the book, The Art of Asking, by Amanda Palmer, which helped me as I started asking people to support my crowdfunding platform.

Hey Adventurers, let’s twist it up a bit! Today’s episode on the Art of Adventure is a new type of episode which features our week trip in Slovenia. Moving forward, we will be featuring places/countries that we have visited for the first time so you too could discover amazing countries for your next big adventure.

Slovenia is a country in Central Europe known for its unique terrain, ski resorts, and magnificent lakes. Since we are currently living in Croatia, my wife and I decided to take a week off to travel and relax. We were presented with several options of places to visit but we decided to go for Slovenia – and we make an excellent choice!

On this episode, I will share our exciting trip in Slovenia:

* The road trip to Slovenia
* Our stay in Ljubljana
* Places we visited in Slovenia
* Activities, cafes, hotels to experience
* The castle of Otočec
* Slovenian culture
* Must-visit tourist attractions
* Breathtaking views





Bled,



we went for a walk around the village we stayed (Bohinjska Beka) in the Julian Alps in Slovenia.
Many of the houses are built right into the rock (including our @airbnb - the shower was in a cave!)
There is an area for rock climbing, a waterfall, and a series of ladders up a slot canyon to get to this viewpoint on a 200 ft tall pillar of rock.
There were helicopters flying everywhere because apparently there is a military training grounds up the valley.







Castle Grad Otočec

Castle Grad Otočec





Eleonora greeted us as we arrived at @castleotocec...
We fell under her spell - she is a beautiful singer and lute player.
She told us that she lives in a different castle 1 kilometer away and invited us there for a visit.
It's really cool to see castles still in use.
When I was 8 or 9 my family went to England and I remember playing in all the ruins.
But castles don't become have to turn into ruins.
Otočec Castle is a Slovenian treasure and by operating it as a hotel and event space, they effectively preserve their heritage.
I recently read about Italy doing something similar - they are giving away castles and chateaus for free if you turn it into a business like a restaurant or hotel.
Would you rather live in a castle or a modern home?



It really blows my mind to think just how much prosperity we have.
You have access to more than emperors and kings from days gone by: you can get your meals cooked for you at a restaurant - no need for a staff of 400 chefs, you can read all night if you want- no need to spend a fortune on candles, you can learn anything you want - no need to buy a library of books, you can text someone at anytime-no need to write a letter and wait weeks for a reply.
No matter how you look at it, you are one of the richest people in history!





The food here at castleotocec has been amazing!
The manager of the hotel was telling me that everyone here has a vineyard no matter what their occupation. Yes, he has one too!
I saw some gypsies catching fish and cooking them right on the side of the river - the river is so clean you could just walk out your door catch a fish and cook it up!
One thing we have noticed here in Slovenia is the amazing quality of ingredients. With fresh ingredients- good Veggies, meats, and herbs, you are well on your way to an incredible meal.





Our room at Otocec - they even put a crib in there for Axel!

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is someone who left everything at home - his job, his friends and his girlfriend to embark on a quest to find what makes his life more meaningful and complete. Luckily, he was able to find everything he was looking for.

Guy Vincent is the founder and CEO of Publishizer, a crowd-publishing platform that connects authors with publishers. It allows authors to write proposals and launch pre-order campaigns to be discovered by potential readers and publishers. Publishizer helps authors bring their books out into the world while also assisting publishers who are hunting for new talents. They are the first company to do this.

Before staring out the company, Guy also was an author. He himself learned how difficult it is to write a book and have it published. With this in mind, he figured that this crowd-funding platform is the solution to provide an avenue for writers and publishers to connect.

I used Publishizer for my own book Superconductors, and it was picked up for traditional publishing by Kogan Page. You will hear us reference this book as part of the process and evolution of Publishizer.

What you will learn on this episode:

* Publishizer: Mission and Composition
* How the Publishizer team moved around to different continents
* Tips for starting authors
* Crowd-publishing versus self-publishing
* The business model of Publishizer
* How to get your book published
* What are the publishers looking for
* How Publishizer wis disrupting the industry
* How to roast your own coffee
* How Publishizer uses incentives and gamification



Quotes:

"Everybody has a book inside them" - Guy Vincent

“We strongly believe that we can do this festival and that we must do it in order to expand that kind of love that we feel for Zadar.” – Martina Ljustina



Today’s guests on the Art of Adventure podcast are two adventure savvy entrepreneurs who has devoted their time and effort in order to provide fun and thrill for other people.

Iva Bencun and Martina Ljustina are two of the co-founders of the Zadar Outdoor Festival. This festival showcases the extraordinary geographic diversity of the Zadar region which is perfect for outdoor activities. It also allows the participants to enjoy various sports while challenging their own limits. The first person I met when I moved to Zadar was Martina, and she has been a great friend, helping me with many connections and ideas while I've been here. Martina introduced me to Iva, who has also been a great friend and help during our stay in Croatia.

I got to participate in many of the events of the 2017 Zadar Outdoor festival - caving, mountain bike racing, yoga, dancing, whitewater rafting, watching the air show, the highline slackline, and kayak race. There was one peak moment that blew me away -when the bike race finished and the kayak race was starting and the planes were flying overhead while the slackliners were high in the air above the forum- it seemed like everything was happening all at once and it felt like the center of the universe.

Successfully organizing the festival in April 2017, the team invites more participants to join on the next Zadar Outdoor Festival. The land and the waters of Zadar region will be the space for people who wish to have the ultimate adventure.

What you will learn on this episode:

* What are the activities in the Zadar Outdoor Festival
* Making this festival happen
* Where the idea of the festival came from
* Building the team
* What is their promotion strategy
* Tips in organizing a festival
* How much does this festival cost
* Inspiration behind the festival

Today's episode is one of my all time favorites because today's guest is known as the "most traveled man," and is big hero of mine.

Mike Spencer Bown has not only visited every single country in the world, he has also immersed into some cultures by living with tribes. One thing about living with the natives is that he did not expect how good the people were. They took him in, welcomed him to their community, taught him local customs like hunting, and took care of him.

What is amazing about Mike is that he does all this traveling to share with everyone he meets. There was a even a time when somebody asked him to tell a story about his adventures; three weeks later, he was still going!

Adventure to him means freelance traveling - going in and not knowing what to expect, what's going to happen next.

Stories you will hear in this episode:

* Battling a Mountain Lion
* Hitchhiking through Iraq during the war
* Spending 90 days alone in the wilderness
* Making coffee tables out of coffee wood and earning a huge profit
* Explanation of how world religions interact
* How Mike carried $80,000 USD on his person
* Learning to hunt with natives when he couldn't speak the language
* The philosophy of capitalism vs. feudalism

She believes that the only way to do something well is to actually DO it. Emily is all about upleveling and healing on an emotional level to better help others.

Why it is important to live your life according to what drives you

David and Sarah are currently in Australia to work on their app called Get Real which gives you 450 questions to ask when you want to spark a deep conversation. At first, David said he was a bit doubtful but eventually “fell in love with my own app.” If there’s anyone else who can create something very meaningful out of just asking questions, it’s David. He talks about how to become a coach and create a business on episodes 48 and 49 of the podcast.

I got to know David and Sarah better as we played Ultimate Frisbee together and hung out for months in 2016 in Bali.

On this episode, we take turns asking one another questions off the app - and I have to be honest, I got amazed with how much these questions got me thinking and reflecting. Get Real is indeed a sure-fire way to learn more about the person in front of you, or the person you work with.



On this episode, you will learn:

How you too can create deeper connections by asking important questions and actually listening to the other party’s answers
What the basis is for the questions on this app
How David and Sarah work as business partners
Samples of questions from the app
How to market an app or other offering
How better questions enhance business events
About my struggles as a new father and how I feel about it
How to program a feedback loop into your product

 ]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=4336Tue, 24 Jan 2017 18:37:11 +0000Derek LoudermilkGet Real, the game of asking questions, was developed by David Wood and Sarah Gajek with this sole mission in mind: to create deeper and more meaningful connections - be it in romantic relationships, at work, or friendship. David and Sarah are...
David and Sarah are currently in Australia to work on their app called Get Real which gives you 450 questions to ask when you want to spark a deep conversation. At first, David said he was a bit doubtful but eventually “fell in love with my own app.” If there’s anyone else who can create something very meaningful out of just asking questions, it’s David. He talks about how to become a coach and create a business on episodes 48 and 49 of the podcast.

Today on the art of adventure we have Mark Manson! Mark writes an extremely popular blog "Personal Development that doesn't suck", with millions of monthly readers.

I've been wanting to have Mark on for a while and we sat down to talk about his new book. Lots of people sent in questions for Mark, and I thing we really covered some good stuff.

The first thing I noticed about Mark is that he is really well read and thoughtful. Also that his speaking "tone" or style is different than his writing.

We talk about Mark's seven years out of the country and the evolution of how he felt about America over that time in terms of culture, citizenship, and development.

We dig deep into adventure and growth and suffering and achievement and relationships, including his internet stalker.

Also, be sure to check out my friend Dave Booda's interview with Mark on his podcast, Darken the Page - that interview really digs into the writing part of Mark's work, and you can think of that as "part 2" of this interview.

* After this interview make sure to:
* Make sure you send a thank you to mark on twitter
* Read the book - its great!
* Subcribe to the Art of Adventure
* Let us know:

*  Did you agree with everything he said?
* What did you learn from this interview?



What you will learn in this episode:

* Why Mark uses strong language in his writing
* The three stages of thought from living abroad 7 years
* How discomfort leads to growth
* The story of Mark's stalker
* Citizenship, and culture around the world


Quotes:

"Growing is not about being more right, its about being wrong less" - Mark Manson

"Every culture is a double edged sword"- Mark Manson

"I've always had a deep curiosity about things"- Mark Manson

"Travel really shows you what your personal values are"- Mark Manson

"Adventure is a consciously directed way to create discomfort"- Mark Manson

"Just because someone has suffered doesn't mean they learned to handle it well"- Mark Manson

"There is a certain joy in expanding your identity"- Mark Manson

"Any change requires yourself to be uncomfortable"- Mark Manson

2782truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-146-nomadic-couplepreneurs-nick-and-gen-from-the-great-anomaly--52755475 Today on the Art of Adventure we have Genevieve Gauvin and Nick Pineault from the Great Anomaly.
They are unique in that they are a nomadic couple and run a business together - "couplepreneurs".
One questions I ask is "How is it possible to run a successful business, travel the world, spend all kinds of time together and keep your romance and relationship spark alive?"
And because their business is all about health - I finally get the answer to questions like what exact toxins are you getting rid of when you do a detox? And what superfoods do they always travel with.
You are really going to enjoy these two because they are so enthusiastic and engaging, I almost didn't need to be there doing the interview they are so good at adding to each other's points.
What you will learn in this episode:

* How to structure you business if you are a couple as well
* How Nick and Gen plan regular vacations even while traveling
* What is Nick's morning routine (he's a health journalist so...)
* What specific toxins are released during a detox
* How their business works - a daily newsletter - using affiliate marketing
* How they manage their team
* Where they choose to live


Quotes:

"We both wanted to be the face of the business" - Nick and Gen

"We solve our own problems while teaching others" -Nick and Gen

"Plan ahead for heart moments to happen" -Nick

"We made a distinction between rules and boundaries" -Nick and Gen

"The more we prioritize the lifestyle, the less it becomes about the hustle" - Gen

"There is no model for living and there is no model for vacation" -Gen

"Express your mind even if you don't have a clear thought" - Nick

"Your fears are boring, but they are there and you have to tame them" - Gen

"Adventure is when you say wait a minute, this is epic!"- Nick

2584truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-142-seven-ways-to-improve-your-body-language-and-charisma--52755449
During grad school I found myself teaching a microbiology laboratory class, which usually involved a brief lecture and then a couple hours of experiments. At the end of each semester the students would grade the instructors on how well we did. My first two semesters I was given a 4.5/5 overall rating. During my third semester of teaching, with the exact same course material, 120 students gave me a 4.98/5 overall rating. What had changed?

At some point I began to study the science of charisma and projecting competence. I added specific techniques to my teaching style which changed was how I was acting while teaching. Over the last few years I have made a personal inquiry into body language, social dynamics, competence, and charisma. Iâ€m a deep thinker who wants to engage with people more. I actively experiment and test new ideas during my podcast, in social situations, during talks and presentations, and when meeting new people.

My goals are to train charisma skills to the point where everyone perceives them to be natural talent rather than something I had to work to get. Vanessa Van Edwards, founder of “Science of People,†told me in an interview that up to 93% of communication can be non-verbal. This means that we give off lots of signals without even being aware. The first step then is to understand which signals we give off and become aware of what we are broadcasting.

What you will learn in this episode:

* What are charismatic speech patterns and how you can train your voice
* How your posture effects your hormone levels and how to power pose to boost confidence
* The power of touch and host to connect with people listening to you
* The way to make confident eye contact
* How to connect with your own mission to get other people on board with you
* How to transfer confidence form one domain to another
* How to gain inner confidence that radiates out
* How to use empathy to connect with people and project warmth

Do you want the magical ability to talk your way into whatever you want in life? What would life be like if people were excited to say YES to getting behind all your greatest ideas?

Legend has is that if you kiss the 'Stone of Eloquence', otherwise known as the 'Blarney Stone' at Blarney Castle in Ireland that you will forever be able to talk your way into anything. Ten years ago I kissed the stone and have since been able to talk my way into getting whatever I want in life...

Save yourself a trip to Ireland (or go anyway) with this episode. I'll take you inside the process I have used to get free luxury travel, talk my way into graduate school, bypassed the application process for every job I've ever had, lowered my rent, had massive parties thrown for me and loads more!

This episode will cover my networking secrets, tools of persuasion, understanding your customer, building a platform, email testing, and getting comfortable asking for what you want!

Challenges from this episode

* Ask for three things that you normally never would - get used to asking and be comfortable with getting a no
* Learn the stakes of your target (keeping you as a happy customer, getting the right person for the job, feeling good about themselves, etc)
* Practice negotiating a better price on your rent, bill, salary, etc.
* Perfect your ability to get people to respond to your emails - in three sentences tell :who you are, how they fit in and what you know about them, and your request. Testing different email headlines for response rates.
* Move from email to phone or in person conversations

]]>1284truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-139-nik-wood-the-life-athletics-level-up-sprint--52755309
Today on the show is my best friend and Bali housemate, Nik Wood, creator of Life Athletics. The idea behind Life Athletics is to treat life like it is a game or a sport, and that you can train yourself in all areas, just like you can with athletics.

Nik and I have been close friends for over a year, helping each other with our various entrepreneurial projects and providing good insight for each other. I wanted to bring Nik on the show because I got so much value when I went through Nik's Level Up coaching program.

Nik and I have done lots of projects together, including a panel about adventure, starting an ultimate frisbee pickup game in Bali, and hosting coworking day's at our villa. I was a guest for Nik's first interview on the Life Athletics Podcast (back when I was not used to giving interviews - let's see how far we have come).

This is an amazing episode where we dig deep into motivation, goals, games, and how to think about working on different areas of your life.

How can we apply gameful thinking to other areas of our lives? What game are you playing in life? How will you know when you win? What are you winning at already? These are just some of the questions that Nik asks during this interview.  All these questions can help us figure out when we are reacting to the negatives in our life vs. figuring out what we want and moving towards it.

On of my favorite parts comes towards the end of the episode, when Nik lays down a giant idea for all of us: Global Goals - what can we achieve as a species?

So if you have an area of your life where you really want to take things up a level, this is the episode for you!



What you will learn in this episode:

-How we can treat our goals like a game and make them more fun

-How to gain momentum with your goals

-How to manage our state and experience

-How to set short, medium, and long range goals

-Action vs. Reaction in your life

-How to acknowledge and celebrate your wins

-How to connect with a way of being that leads us to take the right action every time

-Understand where your motivation comes from

-What are Global Goals?


Quotes:

"Thinking in one area is applicable in another area" - Nik Wood

"It's your life, It's your game, level up" - Nik Wood

"If you see yourself as an artist, you see art everywhere" - Nik Wood

Today on the show is my best friend and Bali housemate, Nik Wood, creator of Life Athletics. The idea behind Life Athletics is to treat life like it is a game or a sport, and that you can train yourself in all areas, just like you can with athletics.

Nik and I have been close friends for over a year, helping each other with our various entrepreneurial projects and providing good insight for each other. I wanted to bring Nik on the show because I got so much value when I went through Nik's Level Up coaching program.

Nik and I have done lots of projects together, including a panel about adventure, starting an ultimate frisbee pickup game in Bali, and hosting coworking day's at our villa. I was a guest for Nik's first interview on the Life Athletics Podcast (back when I was not used to giving interviews - let's see how far we have come).

This is an amazing episode where we dig deep into motivation, goals, games, and how to think about working on different areas of your life.

How can we apply gameful thinking to other areas of our lives? What game are you playing in life? How will you know when you win? What are you winning at already? These are just some of the questions that Nik asks during this interview.  All these questions can help us figure out when we are reacting to the negatives in our life vs. figuring out what we want and moving towards it.

4086truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-138-mary-roach-the-curious-science-of-humans-at-war--52755310
Mary Roach has been a hero of mine for a long time.

I was first introduced to her work when I was given Packing for Mars for christmas, back when I was looking for microbes from outer space.

While I was in grad school, I was interested in the human gut microbiome, and coincidentally that's when Gulp came out - all about the Alimentary canal from your mouth to your butt. Including the latest work on fecal transplants.

Besides her many bestselling books, Mary has written pieces in such publications as Vogue, GQ, The New York Times Magazine, Discover Magazine, National Geographic, Outside Magazine, and Wired.

I was thinking if there might be a formula for Mary's books, which always end up bestsellers and award winners, and I realized that they mostly cover gross things that have to do with the human body.

The other hallmark of her work is her quirky sense of humor. She mentions with great joy meeting a saliva scientist names Spitz.

In this interview we talk about several topics from her new book Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War, which pairs really well season two of Serial.

It is with great joy in the second half of the episode that I get to join Mary in brainstorming what her next book might be about!

I think you will find this episode full of amazing things about keeping soldiers alive that will fascinate and disgust you, and you will be drawn to Mary's sense of curiosity and humor.




What you will learn in this episode:

-All about Mary's writing process

-The latest in penis transplants

-Why the Army has fashion designers

-How Maggots are used to clean wounds

-Why diarrhea is such a problem

-The problem with military hearing protection

-Military slang

-How bomb proof vehicles work


Quotes:

"I like to take people from Eww to Fascinating" - Mary Roach

"I've lost all sense of embarrassment when asking for explanations" - Mary Roach

"Curiosity pushes away queasiness" - Mary Roach

"Wedding gowns are similar to bomb suits" - Mary Roach

"Adventure is stepping through a door - beyond which you don't know what is out there" - Mary Roach

"Maggots are an FDA approved medical device" - Mary Roach

"Scientists are interesting people in general" - Mary Roach

"OMG there are 20 severed heads in this room" - Mary Roach

It's been two years since I live somewhere else besides Bali. For most of the life of the Art of Adventure podcast, we have recorded from Bali. Now I'm back in the states for a few months before the next move. I learned a ton from my time in Bali, and I'd like to share some stories with you that represent my experience there.

I like to think of the town where I lived, Ubud like a small liberal arts college. Everyday You see your friends at restaurants or at yoga or at the coworking spaces. There are all kinds of things to learn and groups to join and community activities. It's also somewhat different than the "real world", because everything is cheap and easy(ish) and everyone is loving and peaceful.

I hope you'll join me when I head back to Bali this September for AdventureQuest!

Stories in this episode:

* Getting Bit by a rabid dog
* Getting a flesh eating fungus from not having air conditioning during rainy season
* Finding secret waterfalls, canyons, and mountains
* Setting a world record climbing three volcanoes
* Starting the Ultimate Frisbee Game
* Voice lessons
* Learning to dance
* Coworking and speaking
* Lots of big parties - including my birthday party and new years party for charity
* Getting a free tattoo - tattoo taco tuesdays
* Seeing the cremation of the King of Bali and ceremonies in general
* Meeting Les Leventhal and doing yoga
* Scuba diving the shipwreck and the sea cliff
* Improv comedy - being a paid comedian
* Talking to a magic tree
* Learning to surf
* Learning all kinds of yoga/hippie stuff like breathwork, cacao ceremonies, and kirtan singing
* Meeting the most beautiful women
* Meeting Heidi and becoming a future father

What is the best questions to ask on a road trip? The art of a good question is something I have thought a lot about over the last few years, especially since thatâ€s how I make my living.

I realized when looking at the data that other people must be interested in questions too because this has become one of my most popular blog posts. The original was written four years ago and still seems to be relevant, so I wanted to expand and provide these thoughts in a audio format as well.

I recently took a trip with my girlfriend and my parents through the Redwoods of Northern California – a pilgrimage of sorts. They were meeting each other for the first time – what better way to get to know each other than a road trip?

First of all, you might know that California is huge, which means spending large amounts of time in the car to get where we are going. Which means a captive audience that I can grill with my questioning

In podcasting, some of my favorite questions are those that cut to the core of someoneâ€s experience such as:

* What didnâ€t you expect about that? What was a time you failed and what did you learn from it? How did that make you feel?

Some people find this style of question challenging, but I really like to create top 5 lists like they do on late night shows or in the movie High Fidelity. That might look something like:

* What are you top 5 bands? Top 5 cities you want to live in? What are your top 5 possessions that you make sure to take with you when you travel?

Another fun thing to do is something I call instant trivia. It goes like this: one person is the question master and comes up with questions relating to a specific topic like geography, music, or sports.  The first person to get three questions right becomes the new question master, and the old question master gives them a new topic category.  I like this game because it allows everyone to be the expert when they are the question master and gives a lot of variety of trivia.

Back when I was running Cross Country at Macalester College, we used to interview each team member at the begging of the season.  We would sit in a circle stretching before our daily run and ask all kinds of questions, some that I am still using:

* If you had to lose one of your five sense, which one would it be and why? If your life was made into a movie, what genre would it be and who would play you? What is the best book you read recently? Where is your favorite place in the world?

If you want even more good questions, my friend David Wood (from Art of Adventure Episodes 48and 49) has a great app called Get Real/Go Deeper. Some of my favorites from the app are:

* What donâ€t you want me to know about you? If you traveled back in time to speak to your younger self, what would you tell yourself?

A great questions I learned from Lewis Howes and the School Of Greatness

* Describe your perfect day minute by minute?

My end of episode questions:

* If you could change or add one thing to the world, what would you want the world to have?
* What is your definition of Adventure (or other such word)?

Back when I was running Cross Country at Macalester College, we used to interview each team member at the begging of the season.  We would sit in a circle stretching before our daily run and ask all kinds of questions, some that I am still using:

* If you had to lose one of your five sense, which one would it be and why? If your life was made into a movie, what genre would it be and who would play you? What is the best book you read recently? Where is your favorite place in the world?

If you want even more good questions, my friend David Wood (from Art of Adventure Episodes 48 and 49) has a great app called Get Real/Go Deeper. Some of my favorites from the app are:

* What don't you want me to know about you? If you traveled back in time to speak to your younger self, what would you tell yourself?

A great questions I learned from Lewis Howes and the School Of Greatness

* Describe your perfect day minute by minute?

My end of episode questions:

* If you could change or add one thing to the world, what would you want the world to have?
* What is your definition of Adventure (or other such word)?

Garrison Cohen was a recent guest on episode 119 of the Art of Adventure, talking about relationships, and now he his back to talk about events!

I was visiting Garrison in San Francisco and he was telling me the story of the "Wedding Character Party" he had recently, where everyone came to the party as a stereotypical wedding character - the drunk uncle, the celebrity guest, the ring bearer, the officiant etc.

Garrison has told me about other events he has thrown in the past like the awesome party, which is featured in the new book The Last Safe Investment. I had been impressed with the ease at which he threw a large American Thanksgiving party last year in Bali.

While Garrison is not an event planner, I noticed that he had a lot of skill and intentionality behind the events and parties he throws that I wanted to get him on to deconstruct the skill of bringing people together in your community, or using events to meet people when you move to a new location.

As always, pay close attention to how Garrison chooses his words impeccably and is full of great insights about human nature.

I met Anne-Laure Carruth this year at the Travel Storytelling Festival, and when I saw her speak I thought she was one of the most adventurous women I had ever met.

In 2014 and 2015, she and her friend Lucy Engleheart drove an old Land Rover around the Mediterranean and the Middle East to attempt to truly understand the region and bring back stories of good news form a troubled part of the world.

After applying for Royal Geographic society grant and getting all the way to the finals, they didn't win the award. But they decided to make the drip happen anyway.

It took a year and half to prepare for.

Everyone said it would be dangerous, everyone told her not to go.

She cultivated a broad support network that grew as she traveled from country to country that gave her friends and contacts before she drove across each border.

Among the things Anne-Laure and Lucy had to consider were: border crossings, guides, cultural institutions, car maintenance, historians, route, safety, health, local customs, pricing, charity worker contacts, schools to visit, and lots more.

This episode will dig into the details around setting up and running such a trip, the art and culture that Anne-Laure experienced along the way, and some of the great positive stories that she brought back from her experince!





What you will learn in this episode:

-How two women drove around the Mediterranean and the middle east

-How to plan and fundraise for a giant expedition like this

-How to build a network of friends as you go, to get you though "dangerous" countries like Libya and Tunisia

-How art allowed them to connect with the local people

-The evolution of their art projects along the way

-Why Anne-Laure didn't need Arabic lessons




Quotes:

"I had been trying to find ways to paint in cool countries" - Anne-Laure Carruth

"The only way to prepare for driving across Africa is to drive across Africa" - Anne-Laure Carruth

"I'm super interested in people, their stories, and place" - Anne-Laure Carruth

"It's all about smiles, eye contact, and body language"- Anne-Laure Carruth

"The trip worked because we were so different" - Anne-Laure Carruth

fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-129-three-generations-of-loudermilks-grandfather-father-son--52755443
This episode of the Art of Adventure features interviews with my Grandfather, Father, and my own comments on their responses - three generations of Loudermilk men weighing in on big questions about Life, Love, Work, Family, Religion, Creativity, and Travel.

In 2015 I took advantage of my digital nomad status and spent time visiting and working in both my parent's and grandparent's homes.

While I was visiting Tennessee, I decided to interview my grandfather (Delbert Loudermilk, who I know as Granddaddy) about his life. He wrote an autobiography in 1993 that covered much of his time growing up, but I wanted to know a little more about him as a man. I was really interested in masculinity and my role as a man at that time.

After that first interview with Granddaddy, I came up with the idea of interviewing my father (Lynn Loudermilk) and then adding my own comments to the final product.

We are left with an interesting study in how the line of Loudermilk men have changed through the generations, what we have picked up from each other, and the unique bits about each one of us.

I feel privileged to have the opportunity to record both of these men's stories, and I learning more about them through this process only deepened my love and admiration from them.

Interviewing Granddaddy at his kitchen table

Because this is a long episode, here are some time stamps to help you navigate to theme at specific parts of the interview:

2:00 Religion, Friendships
8:00 On being a Man /manhood
22:30 Careers
36:00 Self Insight, Skills, Asking questions of others
45:00 Self Identity
49:00 Building things
51:00 Big Events
58:00 Everyone at age 32
1:19 Mentorship



Notes about Delbert's Interview:

-He build the rock wall, and basement of his own house

-He admired his father's spirituality, repayment of his debt

-He Payed his home off 15 years early

-Retired at the age of 84.5

-He admired his own paternal grandfather for his industry and christianity

"I try not to talk much myself but get other people to talk and I listen"- Delbert Loudermilk

"There are different aspects to being a man - physical, mental, spiritual"- Delbert Loudermilk

"If you are respectful, people will respond well"- Delbert Loudermilk

"I regret not having lived a more christian life"- Delbert Loudermilk

Notes about Lynn's Interview

-On what he is best in the world at: "I can remain calm and look at things rationally and look for solutions. I'm good at getting other people's opinions and thoughts, and I'm willing to change my mind"

"All of us look back and think we could do better"- Lynn Loudermilk

"It's almost always rewarding to talk to people you don't know"- Lynn Loudermilk

"I loved playing outside"- Lynn Loudermilk

"Music moves you to a different state"- Lynn Loudermilk

"Music fills my soul with positive vibes"- Lynn Loudermilk

"It's important to take mentoring from everyone you meet"- Lynn Loudermilk

"When I was 32 I wanted to make sure I had some fun along the way"- Lynn Loudermilk

"Travel prevents you from being myopic, prevents you from thinking too alike"- Lynn Loudermilk

"It is important to have quiet in your life"- Lynn Loudermilk

"You are always your parent's child"- Lynn Loudermilk

"My grandfather would trade a dog for a pocketknife"- Lynn Loudermilk

"If they did an MRI - I would have no right brain at all"- Lynn Loudermilk

We are left with an interesting study in how the line of Loudermilk men have changed through the generations, what we have picked up from each other, and the unique bits about each one of us.

I feel privileged to have the opportunity to record both of these men's stories, and I learning more about them through this process only deepened my love and admiration from them.

Rock Thomas is a self made millionaire, speaker, coach, and adventurer. I brought him on the show based on multiple recommendations from friends around the world.

Rock made his first million in real estate and currently has 16 streams of income (many of which he details in this episode).

Despite initial financial success, Rock knew there was something missing from his life that money wasn't filling. So he embarked on a quest for knowledge.

For four years, he traveled the world, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal development and success training. He studied one-on-one with the finest teachers, including Deepak Chopra, John Gray, David Deida, David Wolf, Anthony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Wayne Dyer, and Steven Covey, to name a few.

With all this knowledge, Rock now does personal development coaching and public speaking. He is an energetic speaker and a clear thinker, and I found it really easy to connect with him during our interview.

If you want to learn about how to program your mind and set up your success, this is the episode for you. Likewise, if you want to learn how to meet and engage with successful people who can help you along your own road to success, you will get a lot out of this episode.



What you will learn in this episode:

-What are Rock's 16 streams of income

-How mental programming works

-What Rock learned from the likes of Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and others

-How and Why to surround yourself with the right peers

-How to rehearse your success

-How to find talented people to work with

-How to build authentic relationships



Quotes:

"Real estate was my get out of jail free card" - Rock Thomas

"To be authentic is to say 'I get you'"- Rock Thomas

"Don't become a millionaire at the expense of your health or family"- Rock Thomas

"We don't apologize for being awesome"- Rock Thomas

"I always have a compelling future"- Rock Thomas

"Adventure is no matter what is happening - you find a way to have a good time"- Rock Thomas

Welcome back for another solo round of the Art of Adventure podcast!

The cycle of adventure, the heroes journey - applies to anything big and hard you want to achieve. This first step and last step are just steps like all other other and they are the most important at the same time.

Adventure has a time line - there is a cycle that has a beginning and end.

They say the hard part is in the middle and it will be way harder than you expected.

But the real hardest part is taking the first step - answering the call to adventure.

You might even have a big planning phase where you make sure everything is perfect for a year or two before you set off.

And I'm not talking only about traveling. Iâ€m talking about starting grad school, getting married, moving to a new place, starting a new job or business, starting a race, etc.

In cross country races in college I knew that once the gun went off I had less than 30 minutes of pain that I would have to deal with. The fun part was seeing how much pain I could handle. That and flying across the land faster than I ever thought possible.

Another example is when you finally sit down to have a difficult conversation. It's so uncomfortable that you probably want to avoid it. Once you set the whole thing in motion you just have to gut through the discomfort and you know that the result will be good.

The first step is like getting on a roller coaster - you are no on the ride and even if you get scared along the way you have to see it through.

There are two steps that are the most important, the first step and the last step. Iâ€m really good at the first step, not as good at the final step.

What trips me up into not taking the last step? Feeling like I have done “enoughâ€. I like to pat myself on the back and basically call myself done instead of looking at the actual finish line.

Thats why it so important to know what is the actual finish line if you can. My friend Nik Wood always asks what is a win for you today? Even when you go to a party - how will you know if it was a success? That you had fun? That you met people? That you danced your butt off?

When I talk to successful people, a recurring realization is that everything great they have done took a lot more of their effort and time and blood and sweat than we see form the outside. Sacrifice is commonly mentioned - you have to close a bunch of doors so you can run full speed ahead with the most important parts of your life.

In adventure, when the cycle ends and we come back, we will be different. Just like when you write you first book or finish your first marathon or graduate college. You will have more expectations of yourself from within and from without. You will know things that you have to share with the world. This sometimes keeps people from taking the last step - responsibility is a scary because it is responsibility.

When you do something great, people will always ask whatâ€s next? They expect you to be able to top what you have already done.

One reason I retired from cycling is that I was worried about the day when I would never be as fast as I once was. All pro athletes retire because they get old. I was worried about my own expectations.

Taking the first step is a big one because you finally move from thought to action. You can only learn so much and prepare for all contingencies until it is really time to take action. Heroes are define by the action they take, (strategists are defined by the plans the make, and you can be both).

When you bungee jump they give you two countdowns - if you donâ€t leap in 3 seconds you get one more shot then they cut you off. sometimes you just have to make the jump and set the future in motion.]]>http://derekloudermilk.com/?p=3922Fri, 13 May 2016 08:57:38 +0000Derek LoudermilkWelcome back for another solo round of the Art of Adventure podcast!

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself†- Franklin D. Roosevelt

There is a lot of talk on social media that seems to indicate that fear in some form or another is the major hurdle we have to break through to achieve our wildest dreams.

Your biggest fear should be complacency and not fear itself.



Lets take a quick look at the definition of fear:

Fear (n) An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

People will act more strongly to keep from losing $50 than gaining $100 because our fear of loss is more powerful. Once people become successful, fear of loss of success might cause them to try to stick with what they know and stop innovating. But when you are starting out, humans programming to prefer things that are easy is our biggest barrier to success

In the course of a normal day, fear is actually only a small part of hard things: when you line up to start your marathon, step onto stage before a speech, or walk up to a beautiful person and ask them out, you experience a momentary fear of rejection or judgement. This is legitimate because we are social being and if you screw up royally you might become an outcast, harming your ability to survive.

As I was working on my new website the other day and getting increasingly frustrated with the things I didnâ€t know, I had to keep reminding myself to dig in just a little bit more to solve the problem instead of turning to Facebook or sommelier chore.

I think we like the idea that fear is holding us back because we believe we can just exercise a little bravery or willpower and get over the hump.

Even if we experience fear the first or second time we do something - like when I was learning to give live workshops or moving to a new continent - eventually it becomes part of the tapestry of our regular work.

Imagine if you really were able to experience fear every day - that would mean you are doing something new and bold and unique every day. Pretty soon you would just run out of things that scare you. I think part of the reason that old people are so calm is that they have experienced pretty much everything they were afraid of at some point.

But fear is really a minor player in our ability to achieve success.

As Cal Newport told me about his latest book Deep Work, creating our best work requires concentration and persistence. World renown educator Tom Hoerr told me that teaching his elementary students grit was the greatest factor in determining their success as adults. This determination is the exact opposite of complacency and leads to our best results.

Why are Japanese kids so much better at math than Americans? In some case they have been show to be willing to spend two to 100 times longer working on a problem. Itâ€s merely their ingrained belief that struggle will lead to eventually better outcomes that lead to their eventual skill.

In the book Becoming Superman, Steven Kotler actually calculated that an ideal activity must be 4% harder than your skill level to put you into a flow state. What this feels like in real life is something that is a little uncomfortable. Stephen Pressfield calls this the resistance in his book the War of Art.

Even big wave surfers who set world records on 75 foot tall waves are not fighting fear. What might seem brave to us is simply them showing up for work - they already have the skills and talent they need to succeed.

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself†- Franklin D. Roosevelt

There is a lot of talk on social media that seems to indicate that fear in some form or another is the major hurdle we have to break through to achieve our wildest dreams.

Your biggest fear should be complacency and not fear itself.



Lets take a quick look at the definition of fear:

Fear (n) An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

People will act more strongly to keep from losing $50 than gaining $100 because our fear of loss is more powerful. Once people become successful, fear of loss of success might cause them to try to stick with what they know and stop innovating.

He has an amazing ability to make people feel special and important. I first realized this during Thanksgiving last year:

Garrison hosted an American thanksgiving celebration in Bali for 30-40 people from around the world. Before we started the meal, he gave a speech about the history and importance of the holiday. The result was that people felt privileged to be a part of our group and the celebration.

Garrison has been studying relationships his whole life, and is one of Americaâ€s top dating and relationship coaches for men and women. He was former co-founder of AuthenticWorld Media, and hosts the new podcast Looking for You. He is an award winning filmmaker, speaker, writer and honorary member of the Society of Leadership & Success.

His mission (as I understand it) is to help people move past the adolescent phase into their full adulthood so they can have authentic, sexy, enlightened, and drama free relationships.

So listen to this episode to find out what it means to have and amazing, fulfilling relationship by understanding yourself and having a clear sense of integrity. Find out the most brave and bold steps you can take in a relationship, and soak up all of Garrisonâ€s amazing stories and parables about adventurous relationships he has seen or been part of.



 

What you will learn in this episode:

-Turning breakdowns into breakthroughs

-The story about the man who thought love didnâ€t exist

-What it means that we are in a pre-arranged marriage with ourselves

-How to get out of your head and start understanding your feelings

-How to be brave and bold in the face of risk and rejection

-What it means to have integrity

-All about polyamory compared to monogamy in terms of self knowledge



Quotes:

This is a solo round of the Art of Adventure podcast!  Two year ago, I wrote my own "I have a dream" manifesto for Martin Luther King day.  It has been one of my most popular pieces, so I want to share it with you now in audio format. Below is the full text of the manifesto I have a dream. A dream that we will not be afraid - not afraid to show our good qualities, to be weird, unique, and different.  Not afraid speak out against injustice. Not afraid to make the tough decisions in our life.  Not afraid to begin the journey, because then we will succeed.  
I have a dream. That one day, we will have a education system in which all children will love to learn, and that we will all be lifelong learners and curious explorers. That we will all be passionate about what we do and do what we are passionate about. That we will all be able to fulfill the purpose that the universe has placed us here to do. That even under the pressure the outside world places upon us we may find our true selves. 
I have a dream that we will find courage and love and gratitude and honor and truth and morality and we will get the goosebumps. That we are wide awake and approach the world with a sense of newness, and wonder. I have a dream that we can be honest with ourselves about who we are and how we want to feel. I have a dream that we are able to put our minds to use and let loose a cascade of ideas and that we will learn and grow together and solve our problems.
I have a dream. That we will notice the strength in our muscles, the air in our lungs, the food in our belly, and be grateful.  That we will experience the world with all our senses. That even as we age, we stay physically sound and appreciate the gift of a working body.
I have a dream that we will always give others the benefit of the doubt, knowing that their actions are based in love, even if we don't understand how or why.  That we will have patience and try to understand things from other's point of view. That we will listen to our parents and children and grandparents. I have a dream that we remember and maintain the beauty of past traditions - families, storytelling, growing plants, observing the changes in the land, and sitting around a campfire, to name a few.
I have a dream. A dream that we will feel our connection to the whole world and see that we are part of something amazing.  That the beauty of the earth will continue to awe us and to nurture us as our one and only home. The we will feel love for every rock and every river, every tree and every animal, every mountain and valley, every piece of this planet. I have a dream that we will see the beauty of all things, and we will be grateful each and every day for a life full of wonder and miracles.
I have a dream that every person has enough support from the rest of us that they are able to achieve greatness and not be stifled under a lack of opportunity. That we will all have enough love and energy overflowing within ourselves that we will then be able to give unlimited love to each other. I have a dream that you are loved and that you know it. I dream of resilience and improvement, that even when you feel fear or anger or hurt, that you know it will pass, and you can conquer hardship. That even in the face of hard times we will not lose heart.
I have a dream. That we all will have the audacity to dream big. That we will be free from monotony. I have a dream that we all never let off the accelerator and we will keep plowing ahead in the attempt to find truth and meaning and get closer and closer to the nature of the universe.
I have a dream that we wake up with energy each day knowing that we are fighting the good fight.

Today's episode is a solo round featuring this essay I wrote about Heroism:
Be Your Own Hero
Have we lost sight of what it means to be a hero in the modern age? Do we even need heroes anymore? The native american culture portrayed in the book 'Black Elk Speaks' was heavily focused on bravery. We are as removed from that culture as from the culture of chivalry that the knights of the round table were known for. What we do have instead an inventive spirit and the belief that we can become what we set out to become (Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!) Heroes are now innovators, entertainers, teachers, creators, and healers among others. Because we as modern humans have climbed to the top Maslovâ€s hierarchy of needs, our battle is no longer physical, but rather who we can be for ourselves and others.

We have the opportunity re-invent the definition of the hero for the modern human. The experience of becoming a hero is the essence of our humanity. Joseph Campbell saw that the same mythological tales are found in every culture - the story of an adventurer who answers the call to a great challenge, faces down his demons and comes back to society as a changed individual. So, how can you be a hero?

***

Find your Cause
The hero is called into action for many reasons - to defend their country, to save his family, to provide some service to a group of people. The greatest athletes have been found to be driven by a belief in something greater - it is usually either god or their own abilities. Stephanie Burns of ChicCEO once told me in an interview about ‘Unreasonable Requests' that she found it easy to ask for huge things such as $10,000 of free event space when she was doing it in service of her favorite charity. My own cause that allows me to put for a great effort is to enable people to unlock their fullest human potential by changing the story about themselves (Hero-ification), so that they may contribute to the world in a way that fulfills them and gives them purpose.

Determine your Noble Principles
Ben Franklin was known for his 10 virtues which he attempted to embody every day. He would track this by putting an X each night next to the ones he was able to fulfill for the day. While many religions give us a series of commandments or qualities to live up to, it is up to us to come up with our own virtues and code of conduct based on what is most important to us.

What do you admire in other people? How do you want to feel? What way of being would make you proud of yourself? These are some questions to guide you in making your list. As an example, I have declared the theme for 2016 as ‘the year of living boldlyâ€, so in addition to my other values, I will filter action through the lens “is this action big and bold enough?"

Take Courageous Action
What are you not satisfied with in your life? What problems do you see in the world? What do people need from you? What do you find yourself thinking about over and over? You Epic Adventure will keep calling and calling, and it is up to you to answer the call and embark on your quest. Heroes are know for their actions and feats, which are impossible to achieve without taking the first step.

In the middle of your journey, you will face challenge that is much greater than you anticipated (10 times harder, according to my calculations) and will take all your effort or concentration. In addition, it takes courage to start a new quest, especially when one has little or no experience. Bravery in the face of the unknown defines the hero. Paolo Coelho tells us that making decisions is our god given right as humans and we must embrace this power. Taking action is heroic because by saying yes you are also closing the door on other options because you believe you are fighting the good fight.

This episode continues in our series of interviews of Adventurous people named Derek!

Derek Muller, PhD is a passionate science educator, communicator, and filmmaker. He earned his PhD in Physics education from the University of Sydney and is the founder and creator of the popular YouTube Channel Veritasium YouTube Channel, a science YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers.

Derek has also served as a TV presenter for the Australian show Catalyst and hosted the 2015 Google science fair awards.

I'm excited for this interview because I've long been a fan of Derek's work. When I was in grad school for microbiology I considered being a science journalist along the same lines, so it's really cool to get an inside peek into the science video world.

We take a dive into Derek's thoughts about how we will learn and consume information in the future, the age old question of quality vs. quantity in creative work, Derek's favorite science communicators, and make sure you listen to the end to find out if it really is possible to go crazy in the world's quietest place.

If you love science, have ever wanted to be a YouTube creator, or wondered about the future of education, this is the episode for you!



What you will learn in this episode:

-Is it possible to go crazy in the worlds quietest place?

-What is the future of education given the internet is full of information?

This episode continues in our series of interviews of Adventurous people named Derek!

Derek Muller, PhD is a passionate science educator, communicator, and filmmaker. He earned his PhD in Physics education from the University of Sydney and is the founder and creator of the popular YouTube Channel Veritasium YouTube Channel, a science YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers.

Derek has also served as a TV presenter for the Australian show Catalyst and hosted the 2015 Google science fair awards.

I'm excited for this interview because I've long been a fan of Derek's work. When I was in grad school for microbiology I considered being a science journalist along the same lines, so it's really cool to get an inside peek into the science video world.

We take a dive into Derek's thoughts about how we will learn and consume information in the future, the age old question of quality vs. quantity in creative work, Derek's favorite science communicators, and make sure you listen to the end to find out if it really is possible to go crazy in the world's quietest place.

If you love science, have ever wanted to be a YouTube creator, or wondered about the future of education, this is the episode for you!



What you will learn in this episode:

-Is it possible to go crazy in the worlds quietest place?

-What is the future of education given the internet is full of information?

-Who are Derek Muller's heroes?

-Elements that make a good educational video (hint: start with the misconceptions)

-Which should you aim for: quantity vs. quality in creative work

-The educational video business model

-The slow and steady approach punctuated by viral hits

-Why Derek consults with the public at the beginning of his videos

...]]>2985truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-104-tony-wrighton-zestology-how-to-get-more-energy--52755348
Today's guest is the host of the Zestology Podcast, Sky sports TV presenter, avid self tracker, and NLP specialist.

Tony Wrighton got the idea for Zestology after getting an unknown tropical virus on a vacation to the Phillipines that totally exhausted him. He decided he needed to learn about ways to get more energy and now he shares what he has learned with the world.

We are going to look at a couple of Tony's favorite ways to get more energy. We are going to talk about NLP and the language of how we talk to ourselves and others, as well as looking at how we can study and track our energy levels to find hidden correlations.

Tony tells the story of how he closely tracked the amount of time he spent away from a screen each day and how less screen time led directly to an increase in energy.

Tony hosted a morning radio program in the UK and Tony started using NLP techniques in his radio program to get more people listening, listening longer, and having better feelings about their listening.

This episode can be considered Part II of the episode I recorded on the Zestology Podcast.

This is the episode for you if you are curious about self tracking, NLP, getting more energy, or modeling your behavior after your heroes to become more successful!



What you will learn:

-What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP?)

-How Tony used NLP to get more listeners to his radio show

-How to use NLP to give a directive people will listen to by couching with words like "perhaps" or "I wonder"

-What is the quantified self

-How to conduct an experiment to get more energy

-How to use NLP to model behavior you want emulate: Behavior, environment, and capabilities

-How to offer choices that all lead to the desired outcome

-How to analyze self tracking data

Quotes:

"NLP is all about how we communicate with ourselves" - Tony Wrighton

"What do I believe is important about what you do?"- Tony Wrighton

"Spend time in your man cave recharging"- Tony Wrighton

"Adventure is going outside your comfort zone"- Tony Wrighton

I'm really excited about todays interview because by great coincidence, both my guest and I are in the middle of a fast. At the time of recording both of us were consuming only water. He was 14 days in to his 21 day no food experiment and the most common response from people was "please don't die".

He is also one of the greatest american pranksters, going so far as to prank Michael Jackson, The Super Bowl, Ashton Kutcher, and President Obama. He was the man behind one of the oldest comedy sites on the internet, Zug.com (since closed down).

Sir John Hargrave even went so far as to legally add “Sir†to his name because the queen of England makes it so difficult to be knighted.

He was my guest back in episode 84 talking about his book Mind Hacking, which was recently released.

Today we will learn what it like to be 14 days into a water fast and how Ghandi inspired John to understake this challenge in the first place.

John will share the mind hacking techniques that he uses to get through this and other challenges like running a marathon. You will learn about how to recharge your willpower battery and how to observe your mind when you are low on willpower. We talk about fasting for spiritual purposes and the experience of being in a state of Ketosis where you body is burning fat stores for fuel.





Quotes:

"Get into the balcony of your mind"- Sir John Hargrave

"Use hunger as a reminder of your goal"- Sir John Hargrave

"Take time every day to recharge your willpower"- Sir John Hargrave

"Be vigilant about negative thoughts"- Sir John Hargrave

What you will learn from this episode:

-What is Ketosis and how do we achieve the state

-How to use the % complete bar mind hack for achieving big challenges

-What two weeks without food feels like

-The benefits of fasting

-How to change negative thought loops

-Why civil right and spiritual leaders fasted

-The connection between mindfulness and willpower

When Bradley Morris reached out to me, my interest was immediately piqued because he uses the word adventure liberally in his work as well.

He is the creator of the Great Ecourse Adventure, which basically turned the process of building, launching, and marketing eCourses into an entertaining, gamified adventure (that I have been testing over the last couple weeks)!

Since 2011 Bradley has taught over 500 meditation workshops, courses, and retreats and created multiple transformational eCourses used by people in over 27+ countries. He also founded a video production company - Soul Fam Productions, which produces comedy + music marketing videos including the viral hit "gratitude dance" (see below) and he coaches leaders and world-changers to rock their gifts and (#GSD) Get Shit Done while having fun!

Brad creates transformational eCourses which have reached people in 27+ countries, produces comedy + music marketing videos and by coaches leaders and world-changers to rock their gifts and (#GSD) Get Shit Done while having fun!

Even more important is our discussion of what makes online learning engaging and memorable, and how Bradley incorporated adventure, sketch comedy, gamification, and metaphor into the Great Ecourse Adventure.

If you have ever wanted to turn your knowledge into a profitable online course that is actually fun and has better teaching outcomes, then this is the episode for you!

I'll be reflecting on 2015 and writing some posts about this year soon, and you can also expect some reflection and writing about podcasting, stay tuned and now onto today's episode.

"The greatest adventure is having faith in ourselves to accept a challenge" - Jono Lineen

I first caught up with Jono Lineen at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival here in Bali to talk about adventure travel writing.

He and I have a ton in common, from our love of Nordork or XC Skiing (he was way better than I am), we love of being outside in the wilderness, and especially a love of human geography - thinking about how people interact with their environment.

In this episode, Jono talks about the amazing process of writing his award winning (Best Books of 2014 by Good Reading Magazine) book: Into the Heart of the Himalayas over the course of 12 years to get the final product.

The book is the tale of his 5 month walk across the Himalayas from Pakistan to Tibet, but the real story - which he only uncovered after writing many editions of the book - was his journey to come to terms with the death of his younger brother in a freak accident.

A major part of adventuring is the way that it changes us, and Jono weaves his story of exploring landscape, encountering people, walking, meditation, and reflection on his own growth that make this episode a deeply spiritual look at walking and adventure. You are going to love this story.


Quotes
"The environment changes and the environment changes us" - Jono Lineen

"One of the greatest adventures of my life was having a family" - Jono Lineen

"Movement is something we can use to be better people" - Jono Lineen

"When you have a problem, go for a walk" - Jono Lineen

"The greatest adventure is having faith in ourselves to accept a challenge" - Jono Lineen

"Adventure is built into our DNA" - Jono Lineen

"Walking changed human consciousness and physically changed our brains" - Jono Lineen

What you will learn in this episode:

-How to use a walking meditation for creativity and problem solving

-How to write an adventure travel memoir

-How to make stories accessible

-How people interact with their ecosystem

-Jono's writing and editing process

-How different rivers of the world affect people and religion

Warning! This is a dangerous episode!

I first met Carolyn Elliott when she came to a talk I gave about podcasting at Hubud here in Bali. We have since worked together on launching her podcast, which will be out in January, called Evil Genius Superconnectors.

It became clear right away that Carolyn is no ordinary woman, as she is the only one I know who will wear red lipstick daily in the tropics. She openly tells people about being into magic, astrology, and her shadowy side. All this, combined with formal training of a Ph.D. in poetry makes her one of the most compelling writers I know.

She is the creator of THRILL, the course on how to write for the social web. I had her on the episode to talk about how we can write in a compelling way in our books, blog posts, and even social media updates. She calls this creating a "Page Turner Persona" - accessing the most human parts (light or dark) of yourself and sharing that fully.

For me this is the edgiest, riskiest episode I have recorded, partly because there are some intense ideas that made me uncomfortable during the interview, partly because there is strong language and swearing, and partly because there is a dense web of ideas here that we are trying to spin into simple thoughts.

If you want to challenge yourself to be the type of writer that people can relate to for generations, that inspires raving fans, and have people thank you for writing what others could not, this is the episode for you.






Quotes:

"How to be more engaging is to have a greater tolerance for you own darkness" - Carolyn Elliott

"What cause are you willing to sleep out in the cold for?" - Carolyn Elliott

"I don't care unless you are willing to show me you are a real human"- Carolyn Elliott

"What characters do I find most interesting and most compelling?"- Carolyn Elliott

Warning! This is a dangerous episode!

I first met Carolyn Elliott when she came to a talk I gave about podcasting at Hubud here in Bali. We have since worked together on launching her podcast, which will be out in January, called Evil Genius Superconnectors.

It became clear right away that Carolyn is no ordinary woman, as she is the only one I know who will wear red lipstick daily in the tropics. She openly tells people about being into magic, astrology, and her shadowy side. All this, combined with formal training of a Ph.D. in poetry makes her one of the most compelling writers I know.

She is the creator of THRILL, the course on how to write for the social web. I had her on the episode to talk about how we can write in a compelling way in our books, blog posts, and even social media updates. She calls this creating a "Page Turner Persona" - accessing the most human parts (light or dark) of yourself and sharing that fully.

For me this is the edgiest, riskiest episode I have recorded, partly because there are some intense ideas that made me uncomfortable during the interview, partly because there is strong language and swearing, and partly because there is a dense web of ideas here that we are trying to spin into simple thoughts.

If you want to challenge yourself to be the type of writer that people can relate to for generations, that inspires raving fans, and have people thank you for writing what others could not, this is the episode for you.






Quotes:

"How to be more engaging is to have a greater tolerance for you own darkness" - Carolyn Elliott

I caught up with this weeks guest at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival here in Bali to talk about adventure travel writing.

Carl Hoffman is one of the greatest modern adventure travel authors. He is the author of Savage Harvest, The Lunatic Express, and Hunting Warbirds, as well as being a contributing editor to National Geographic Traveler. Carl has traveled to more than 75 countries on assignment for Outside; Smithsonian; National Geographic Adventure; ESPN, the Magazine; Wired; Menâ€s Journal; Popular Mechanics and many other publications.

Savage Harvest was a New York Times bestseller and a New York Times “editorâ€s pick.†Amazon.com named it the best non-fiction book of 2014. For the project, Carl learned to speak Indonesian and lived in a remote village amidst 10,000 square miles of road-less swamp with a tribe of former headhunters and cannibals on the southwest coast of New Guinea.

In this episode shares come great stories about how he wrote Savage Harvest and how he approaches writing books and journalism. It was great to hear Carl's process of uncovering the story and understanding the situation.

Another one of my favorite moments of the interview was the story of his bus ride across Afghanistan where the bus breaks down in the region of a dangerous warlord.

So if you are curious about how you can become a travel writer, or are a fan of intriguing stories about far off places, this is the interview for you!

"The role of an artist is to open people's minds" - Carl Hoffman

"Writing a book becomes an effort to understand" - Carl Hoffman

"Try to write as simply as you can" - Carl Hoffman

"Adventure is doing something unexpected" - Carl Hoffman

"I have an antenna up at all times to find the end of my story" - Carl Hoffman

What you will learn:

-How to be prepared as a journalist

-The Evolution of being an Author as a career

-How to get paid as a travel journalist

Monty Hooke is the founder of EZYVA, theBali Entrepreneurs Resort, and the author of Business Hacker.

After observing the likes of Richard Branson and marveling at how one man could run 300 companies, he embarked on a quest to find his line of leverage. In this episode you will hear the story of how Monty went from solopreneur to 300 employees and from zero to 7 figure business in a year and a half.

The key as Monty sees it is understanding which stage (out of six) you are in as a entrepreneur, and what it looks like to go to the next stage and ultimately increase your leverage to the point where you are workin on the business rather than in your business.

He teaches us how to find and hire the right Virtual Assistants (VA's), how to communicate clearly, manage expectations, delegate tasks, unpack the activities of your business, and start spending more time on your high value activities.

If you are a busy entrepreneur with lots of things you don't want or don't have time to do and you think your time is more valuable elsewhere, hiring an assistant is one of the most important things you can go for your business, and this episode will tell you what you need to know!



Quotes:

"There is a ceiling to what you can make on your own" - Monty Hooke

"The biggest thing about scaling is unlearning"- Monty Hooke

"What are your highest value activities?"- Monty Hooke

"I needed access to a team"- Monty Hooke

"Trust the process that when you clear you time, you will do more high value activities"- Monty Hooke

"You get what you pay for - don't hire on price"- Monty Hooke

"Don't take someone on unless you think that they will be with you forever"- Monty Hooke

"Adventure is living a life I get to choose and having the resources to do it"- Monty Hooke

What you will learn:

-How to hire and use a VA

-How to unpack all the processes of your business

-The 90% rule for letting your VA take over tasks

-How to find out how much you time is worth

-How to communicate clearly

-How to make the work you delegate task driven instead of conceptual

-Managing your own expectations about what can be done

-Why you should never use email to work with your virtual team

Featured Songs in this episode:

Dale (Miami) City: Miami, FL | Song: Dale | Genre: Dirty Dutch

Song Explanation:
There is no question what the Miami track would sound like. With Miami always being non-stop and having the biggest EDM festival in the world, the track had to be a pumping club song with upbeat, bouncing synths. I decided to call the track “Dale†because itâ€s best word to represent Miami as a whole – there isnâ€t a word for Dale in English, but the best way to describe it is “go get it.â€

Escalate (Boulder) City: Boulder, CO | Song: Escalate | Genre: Glitch Hop

Song Explanation:
Boulder is an extremely peaceful town with some of the most beautiful nature around. To emulate that, the song starts off with a Soundscape/New Age feel and then builds to a hip hop/glitch hop groove. The fitness scene is huge in Boulder, so the hip hop/glitch hop section is representative of how energetic and active everyone is.

Why are humans so complicated? Why aren't we happy all the time? Why do we get addicted to things? How can we accomplish more each day and reach our goals? Why do we want to go on adventures? How does our neurochemistry affect things like pride, accomplishment, touch, love, exercise, and habit?

Knowing how our brain chemistry and structure works can provide many of the answers to questions like these.

Today's guest founded the Inner Mammal Institute because she was not satisfied with the existing science around what motivates us.

Loretta Breuning Ph.D. is Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay and the author of  Habits Of A Happy Brain, Meet Your Happy Chemicals, Beyond Cynical, and I, Mammal. She is a Docent at the Oakland Zoo, where she gives tours on mammalian social behavior. She constantly marvels at the overlap between a wildlife documentary and the lyrics to a country western song.

Dr. Breuning spent a year in Africa as a United Nations Volunteer after graduating from Cornell University and Tufts. She has lectured worldwide on resisting corruption pressures, based on her book "Grease-less: How the Thrive without Bribes in Developing Countries."

I'm really excited about this episode because Loretta is a master at taking basic brain science and teaching how we can apply that knowledge. Dr. Breuning takes us on a tour through the behaviors and feelings associated with dopamine, serotonin, endorphin, and oxytocin, and what we can do to use this knowledge to shape our lives.


Quotes:

Every interaction is a performance — whether youâ€re speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, negotiating a raise, or walking into a job interview. Today's guest tells us how to get a standing ovation every time.

MICHAEL PORT is the New York Times best-selling author of six books including on of my personal favorites, Book Yourself Solid.

Michael has been featured on all the major TV networks and is one of the highest rated speakers working today. He runs a company of experts advising businesses on marketing, business development, and public speaking.

I recently recommended his new book Steal the Show on my monthly reading recommendation email.
By sharing the go-to techniques of successful actors, in the book and in this episode, Michael tells us how to give your presentations a clear focus, engage your listeners, manage your nerves, give your message maximum impact in every situation, every time.

One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Michael takes us through an exercise to find all the best stories from our life, and then sort through those to find the ones that would be worth telling. That isn't enough though, we need to give your stories the proper structure and practice telling them.

This is such an amazing episode, you will blown away by Michael's delivery - he actually uses vocal intonation contrast while he is explaining the concept of contrast.

This episode will help you any time you are talking to other people, especially when you are at the front of the room. Enjoy!



Quotes:

"Your life is determined by the outcome of the high stakes moments" - Michael Port

"Amplify parts of your personality as appropriate"- Michael Port

"Performance is an art and a craft"- Michael Port

Every interaction is a performance — whether youâ€re speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, negotiating a raise, or walking into a job interview. Today's guest tells us how to get a standing ovation every time.

MICHAEL PORT is the New York Times best-selling author of six books including on of my personal favorites, Book Yourself Solid.

Michael has been featured on all the major TV networks and is one of the highest rated speakers working today. He runs a company of experts advising businesses on marketing, business development, and public speaking.

I recently recommended his new book Steal the Show on my monthly reading recommendation email.
By sharing the go-to techniques of successful actors, in the book and in this episode, Michael tells us how to give your presentations a clear focus, engage your listeners, manage your nerves, give your message maximum impact in every situation, every time.

One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Michael takes us through an exercise to find all the best stories from our life, and then sort through those to find the ones that would be worth telling. That isn't enough though, we need to give your stories the proper structure and practice telling them.

This is such an amazing episode, you will blown away by Michael's delivery - he actually uses vocal intonation contrast while he is explaining the concept of contrast.

This episode will help you any time you are talking to other people, especially when you are at the front of the room. Enjoy!

I'm so thrilled to have the privilage of interviewing today's guest on the Art of Adventure. He has been a mentor to me for many years, and he rarely grants interviews, so I take it as a huge honor to have Derek Sivers on the show! Plus, this is the first time another Derek has been on the podcast!

I've been following the Derek's work for many years. Often, he will end a blog post by extending an offer to email him directly with questions. I first sent him an email more than five years ago and we have been in touch since then.

Originally a professional musician and circus clown, Derek created CD Baby in 1998. It became the largest seller of independent music online, with $100M in sales for 150,000 musicians.

In 2008, Derek sold CD Baby for $22M, giving the proceeds to a charitable trust for music education.

He is a frequent speaker at the TED Conference, with over 5 million views of his talks.

Since 2011 he has published 34 books, including “Anything You Want†which shot to #1 on all of its Amazon categories.

I finally got to meet Derek at his home while I was visiting Wellington, NZ in May.

Derek is one of the greatest philosophers of our day, and has clear thoughts about careers, propose, learning, and being of value to the world.

One interesting fact Derek reveals in this episode is that despite being an introvert, he went so far as to hold 500+ 1-on-1 get togethers while living in Singapore with people that wanted to learn from him.

In this episode talk about building a career that makes you happy, how to learn from your work, compressing books into directives, how to get rich, mentorship, introversion, CD Baby, and global citizenship, and some of the adventures that Derek has had that helped him change his mind about Indonesia and weight lifting. I know you will love this interview.

Some of her big unreasonable requests wins are free or heavily discounted venue space for her favorite charity and an all expenses paid Ruby on Rails coding course and vacation in Bali.

Stephanie has coached me in making unreasonable requests as well:

Some of the things that I have gotten in the last few months as a result of using the unreasonable requests process are: a free scenic train tour of New Zealand, free concert tickets, a party thrown for my birthday for my favorite local charity, a week-long luxury retreat, and free mentorship, to name a few.

I think you will find this a fascinating look at our own beliefs, and how we can harness the power of continual challenge.

This is the episode for you if you have wild dreams and want to turn them into reality, or if there is anything you really want that could help your life or business, but you aren't sure how you can make it happen.

Thanks John...]]>2539truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-082-jeff-brown-read-to-lead--52755524
I met today's guest on the Art of Adventure at the Podcast Movement conference a couple weeks ago where he was one of the speakers - about how to not suck at interviewing.

Chris Brogan calls Jeff one of the "best interviewers I've ever known." It always a little intimidating to interview a guy who is one of the best out there and teaches others how to be better.

I was excited to meet Jeff not only because of his exemplary interviewing skills, but also because his podcast is about reading!

Jeff Brown is the host of the Read to Lead podcast, and is a 26 year broadcast veteran, including hosting an award-winning and nationally-syndicated morning show.

Today we are going to cover reading and how to apply your reading habit to enhancing your business, and we will also get into Jeff's other realm of expertise: Interviewing like a pro.

As many of you know, reading is a big part of my daily routine, and one of my 2015 goals is to read 100 books (If you love reading to, you can sign up here for my monthly reading recommendation email list!). The may successful leaders are outspoken about their reading habits: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Derek Sivers, Tai Lopez, Tim Ferriss, Ryan Holiday to name a few.

This episode is for you if you are an entrepreneur or want to get ahead in your career by reading the right books, or you are interested in learning to be a pro level interviewer!

 

Quotes:

"Leverage your learning" - Jeff Brown

"I'm always on the lookout for interesting books" - Jeff Brown

"You want your listener to feel like they are right there with you" - Jeff Brown

"It's rare I will ask a question I don't know the answer to" - Jeff Brown

"What can you do to separate yourself from other podcasts?" - Jeff Brown

"Adventure is buying an RV, selling your possessions, and driving across the country" - Jeff Brown

"Adventure is ridding your property of large rats" - Jeff Brown

"All business topics come back to leadership"- Jeff Brown

What you will learn in this episode:

-How to engage with a book while you read it

-Why and how to take physical notes while reading

-How to conduct an interview that really engages your audience

-How to prepare for an interview

-Why reading is so important for entrepreneurs

-How to convert your reading into benefits for your business

Have you ever spent countless hours crafting a presentation to make sure you get the words just right? Well, you might not know that the words you speak are only a small portion of your overall communication and message.

Research has shown that 60-93% of our communication is through body language. The good news is that just as we can practice the words we say, we can improve our body language as well.

In today's episode, we are going to learn what we can do to master our body language so that we make the first impression that we want to make.

Vanessa Van Edwards is a speaker, author, and researcher at the Science of People. She has spent more than a decade studying body language and conducting experiments in social dynamics, and her innovative work has been featured on NPR, Business Week and CNN.

Vanessa has clearly taken what she has learned into practice, as she is amazingly energetic, insightful, and has just the right thing to say at each moment.

Make sure you listen to the whole episode, because we do a coaching activity that will help guide you to exactly where you want to be with first impressions.

We will also get a sneak peak into Vanessa's latest research on happiness, and how we can get more!

Today we are joined by Bonnie Frank, who runs The Women in Biz, and also happens to be my 5th grade teacher! Twenty years later, she says I still walk and act the same.

I caught up with her in St. Louis, where she convinced me to get started broadcasting on Periscope before I went to the Podcast Movement conference, where everyone was using Periscope (and Meerkat). Today's episode will teach you everything you need to know about Periscope.

Bonnie is using her experience as a teacher to break down Periscope broadcasting, social media, and business skills into step-by-step, bite sized actionable bits for entrepreneurs.

Because Periscope (and it's twin Meerkat) was launched only in the last few months, now is your chance to jump on the trend and be an early adopter!

I brought Bonnie on the Art of Adventure to take us through everything she has learned about Periscope broadcasting and teach us what we need to know to use Periscope to tell our story, market our businesses, and make more connections (and money)!

Buzz Sprout had a really cool recording studio set up on the conference floor, and I was able to bring in Samuel for a quick live interview.

We talk about how to use willpower and courage to boost your level of confidence. Samuel shares a personal story about using courage to build his coaching business. Samuel and I pack a lot of good material into this lighting fast episode, enjoy!

Want to learn Balinese mud...]]>1149truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-078-tales-from-the-northern-explorer-new-zealand-s-scenic-railroad--52755515


On my way from Auckland to Wellington in May 2015, I took the KiwiRail Scenic Journey's Northern Explorer train south across New Zealand's north island. I got the idea from my grandfather, indirectly, because of his love of trains. He once explained to me that growing up, the train was the biggest event to happen to his small town in the Appalachian mountains each week - it was noisy, powerful, busy, and brought in all the interesting goods from the rest of civilization.

For my part, I used to take the train home from college in Minnesota because I didn't have a car. I also had a couple great train journeys with the Boy Scouts for high adventure trips. I like the train better then airplanes because you can get up and walk around and talk to people. I was riding the train in Australia once, and an old man was telling me about his son who died in a war, and he started crying, indicating he had never expressed that to anyone else before.

Even though I like talking to people, I'm not a complete extrovert, and on this trip, I wanted to challenge myself. I quickly downloaded an audio recording app on my phone (normally I use a quality recording mic attached to my laptop) and made it my goal to talk to as many people as possible during the 12 hour journey to Wellington. I think I ended up having lengthy conversations with 18 people. This episode has stories and conversations with eight of those people. I ask people about why they like the train, what adventure means to them, and their thoughts about travel and exploration, along with picking up some helpful advice. Enjoy!

"I have an entire shelf on my bookshelf devoted to atlases" - Derek and Jane

"Adventure is doing something you never do in your everyday life, that you might think of as outrageous or stupid" - Calvin Joubert

"The train is very smooth and calming" - Calvin Joubert

"You have to think carefully about how you will change the world - but we do need more forests" Calvin Joubert

"The best advice I ever got was 'hardern up' - from my dad" -Grace Morris

I'm really excited about today's guest! Get ready to learn all about how this NYC magician creates his own magic props, and the philosophy of why we should make new things

Mario 'the Magician' Marchese has been featured in a film documentary called Building Magic, has been a guest on Sesame Street, and does magic shows for the young and young at heart in New York.

Mario spent two years hitchhiking around the US, living without money, and he has brought the mentality of wonder to his life and projects as a magician. He is building a magic classic car in his garage, has a robotic monkey, and his entire act fits into a single magic suitcase.

His mission is to leave kids inspired with a foundational confidence that they can create what they want.

3486truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-072-jason-treu-how-to-build-extraordinary-relationships--52755527 I know that all the jobs I have ever had in my life, I got through a personal connection. People are attached to just about every good result you want out of life: a raise, funding your company, providing you with emotional support, finding a romantic partner, going on adventures with you, getting your book published, or being your customers and clients.
This is why I spend so much time focusing on the skills of creating and maintaining valuable relationships. Today's guest on the Art of Adventure is one of the best at this.
I read his book, Social Wealth, on building relationships last year, and it quickly became one of my top resources for connecting with people.
He coaches high performing individuals in networking, charisma, personal branding, and business leadership.
This is a guy who backs up his knowledge with action. At the end of the interview when I asked him who else he thought I should talk to, I was really impressed with how easily and quickly he thought of his connections that would be perfect for me, and then offered an introduction.
You can tell that he is a really outgoing individual, who also understands what it is like for introverts and inexperienced networkers.
I liked his ideas so much that when I was in Boulder, CO recently, I stole one of his best ideas and hosted a dinner for everyone I knew there.
Welcome to episode 72 with the genius of networking and relationship building, my friend Jason Treu (pronounced "Troy").

3402truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/aoa-071-chris-mcdougall-natural-born-heroes-maximizing-human-performance--52755525 I am super excited for this episode because my guest is one of my personal adventure heroes! He is the very definition of a curious explorer, and all his work ties back into the simple truth of having fun being a human.
Chris McDougall is perhaps best know for his phenomenal 2009 book, Born to Run, where he explores running as a human birthright, by following the Tarahumara indians of Copper Canyon, Mexico. Born to Run is one of the main reasons I started eating chia seeds and got back into train running when I lived in Montana. Born to Run is also currently being made into a movie with Matthew McConaughey.
Chris has another amazing new book out in Natural Born Heroes which tells a further story of Cretan resistance runners in WWII, parkour, and human performance.
This episode was a ton of fun for me, as Chris and I share a lot of common interests. We go over both his books, and broadly covers diet, running, athletic performance, movement, evolution, and mindset. I think you will be fascinated at how many different ideas Chris can bring into the conversation. If you are at all interested in optimal human performance, running, or health, this is the episode for you!
