Building Better Humans Project

In days gone by the only way to learn lessons from history was for them to be repeated through the telling of stories through fables. I do believe we can learn from other people and in fact we should. It speeds up the process of learning when you understand that you don’t have to make all the mistakes yourself. So this week I’m sharing some of my favourite short stories from Colonel Sanders to eggs, potatoes and coffee. Check it out and let me know what you get from these stories.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week I speak with a good mate of mine Steve Roberts who is a Sport & Exercise Physiologist who runs an online business called Taurus Trainer.

One of the biggest complaints I hear is that people are constantly tired. They want to know how to increase their energy levels, how to feel good the majority of the time and how to stay motivated. We live in a high tempo world where it often feels like we can't keep. We feel a step behind and then when we try to up the ante, set the intention, we get home and slump into the couch and turn on Netflix. Next thing we know it's time for bed and we haven't done any of the things we promised ourselves we would. Then comes the guilt and negative self-talk and the cycle repeats. Is it any wonder we don't feel like we're getting things done? I mean seriously. This week I give you some tips to raise your energy levels so you DO have the energy to do the extra work and get yourself on top. Success does take work. Moving from where you are to where you want to be, does take work. Work requires energy. So let's get some of that.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/liste

Not everything in life is about money. Success can be measured by the people you help and the good do in the world. If that's the case then my guest today, Jen Shaw, is as successful as you could ever be. She's going all in on a new venture called Emerge. The sound wasn't great on this one and I apologise for that as I was out of town and recording this one in a hotel room but there's still some great value here.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week I want to talk to you about having authenticity, living with soul and the fact that there's only so much room in your circle. If you fill your circle with the wrong people, the wrong energy then there's no room for the right energy. You actually block good people from being able to get into your circle.

This week I want to talk more about the fact that you only get one life to do everything you ever wanted to do and I feel like you should act accordingly. All the stress, fear, worry and excuses to not do things is just crazy. All the ‘playing it safe’, analysing and over-analysing of every possible outcome in the hope that you can take uncertainty off the table, is just crazy. You are literally talking yourself out of living life and it’s just crazy. Because I am certain there will come a time in life when you look back at all the things you didn’t do and all the excuses or reasons you gave yourself for not doing them, and you’ll think ‘What was that all about?’ “Why didn’t I do more with what I had?’ You see you don’t lack opportunities, you’re just not seizing them and the less you seize them, the less you notice them until eventually you feel as though they’re just not there for you.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Team, This week you have me again and I'm just defining the motivation chat a little more. I think it's vital to have this ironed out for you to move forward feeling inspired, fired up and ready to take on the world. I also share what is the best inspirational speech I have heard. Eric Thomas - ET as he is known - on the fact that everyone wants to be a beast but they're not willing to do what beast do. He means in the fact that people want to be successful but then they don't want to do the work it requires.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
