Mind Set Game Podcast

Pyke & Co was founded by two entrepreneurs, Matthew Pyke and Denis Brzozowski. We are both founders of two digital marketing agencies, Fly High Media, and Wolfden Creative. Our product Sleepwells is a byproduct of that. Naturally, building a business isn’t easy, with it comes a mountain of responsibilities such as managing teams, projects, business growth, personal development and much more. This often comes at a cost. 9 times out of 10, that cost is good sleep. We have both experienced countless nights in front of phone and laptop screens until 2 am which, needless to say, is too late to get a good night’s sleep. We have both suffered from effects from the over-use of device screens before sleeping, which were stress, eye-strain, headaches, loss of energy and unbalanced sleeping patterns. Other effects can go as far as depression and weight gain. We decided to do something about this. We wanted to put something in place for people that want to get a better night’s sleep. We proceeded to conduct research

In today's episode of the Mind Set Game Podcast, I sat down with Dr Kevin Chapman. He summarised the episode in these words:  "Playing sports comes down to being more skilled mentally than physically - at the end of the day and what separate great athletes from good athletes is being to perform in the clutch and regulate their emotions when they are playing and able to utilise mental skills in key moments…" Kevin was an accomplished two-sport athlete at Centre College where he was an all-conference performer in both football and track and field.

Psychologist #inspiration Interactions don't constitute therapeutic relationship/not advice or treatment. "I moved over 20 times by the time I was thirteen-years-old. I learned how to connect with people in each unique area I lived, from Long Beach, California to the English countryside. I adapted by tuning into the newest peers, teachers, and neighbors and the culture around me. I became a chameleon and reflected what I thought people would like to see. However, this began to take a toll. I didn't feel good enough to just be me. I constantly reached for what seemed like the best mask for the time and place instead of showing my real self. Over time I have discovered more about who I really am underneath it all and have practiced sharing my real self with the world. I am on this journey right there with you, every day working on strengthening my relationship with myself and not only accepting my self, m
