050-shannon-grahamAre you waiting to achieve [INSERT GOAL] so you can begin to feel enthusiasm, joy, love, passion, connection, curiosity and countless other abundant feelings?

Because the truth is...those external markers of achievement won’t make you feel that way (at least not as much as you'd think.) The latest episode of the Academy is a special one — and we brought back one of the most listened to guests back to celebrate the drop of Episode 50 with none other than Shannon Graham. In this episode, we deep dive into the above, or the distinction between what Shannon calls the art of fulfillment and the science of achievement. We break these down to help you see the key difference and start practicing the art of fulfillment by inserting the activities that make you feel most alive — while moving towards what you want to achieve. We also dig deep into the steps and mindsets anyone listening can implement to make 2017 their most powerful year ever, how to break free of your most stubborn roadblocks and so much more.

Welcome to another edition of Quick Hit Fridays from the Resist Average Academy!
 
In this episode, I discuss the key distinction between defaulting to positive and defaulting to negative with how we experience our reality of life.
 
Every day, we're going to face challenges that have the ability to crush us and leave us stagnant and feeling sorry for ourselves, however -- we have the power to re-frame to the positive.
 
This re-frame is crucial to increasing our learning, fulfillment, and surrendering to the process of growing in life.

Imagine one day you’re teaching Spanish to middle school students and then you’re in an octagon fighting for your life and getting punched in the face.

Sounds pretty insane, right?

That’s exactly the journey of the latest guest of the Academy, none other than Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman who was a former teacher turned UFC fighter who ranked as high as #7 and now a speaker, author, coach and writer who shares his story all over his platforms and turned into a book called "Driven: My Unlikely Journey from Classroom to Cage".

In this episode we discuss how to adopt a fighter’s mindset, how to have a magnificent obsession, having a massive outcome that makes sense to you (but not others), lessons from the octagon, how to deal with endless critics, trolls and haters, the process of writing a book and enjoying the process of every single moment of life.

We’d love to hear your big takeaway from this episode, tag Charlie and I on social media and let us know what you got this conversation.

I’d like to thank the brilliant team at Athletic Greens for supporting the mission of the show and offering us the highest quality nutritional insurance on the market, in an easy to take, all-in-one packet. Grab your special bonus as an Academy listener right here:

Welcome to another edition of Quick Hit Fridays!
  
In this episode, I discuss how to set a firestorm of momentum in your life by raising all boats of life -- together, as one unit. Too many times I notice people set goals in business and income at the expense of:
  • Their bodies and health
  • Their connection and relationships
  • Their energy and vitality

...that's why having a system to work on every area of life is crucial and in this episode I show you how.

In this engaging and riveting episode, I welcome none other than Preston Smiles -- author, speaker, coach and content wizard whose message is to empower, inspire and ignite a multi-generational movement of radical growth through conscious, creative content, acts of love and living boldly.

Preston believes we’re here to leave the planet better than we found it, and is committed to motivating others to join him on that mission, and live their best life now. He recently released a new book with his wife, Alexi Panos, titled “Now Or Never” which is available everywhere where books are sold now!

 During this full length episode, we discuss Preston’s mission, where we’ve gone wrong (and how to fix it), using and engaging the power of “first thought”, why life is always on the way and not in the way, creating a power couple dynamic, leading from the heart and everything in between.

We’d love to hear your big takeaway from this episode, tag Preston and I on social media and let us know what you got this conversation.
