WATCH: https://londonrealacademy.com/episodes/joe-de-sena-spartan-race/ SUCCESS SECRETS: https://londonrealacademy.com/success-secrets/joe-de-sena-success-secrets/   Barbed wire, sandbags, rope climbing, a spear throw and lots of mud are just some of the challenges you’ll face when you sign up for the Spartan Race – the toughest competitive obstacle race in the word. But it’s founder, Joe De Sena, believes that shaking off the sleep of comfort or complacency, then exchanging it for the warrior spirit and pushing yourself to the limits, will revolutionise how you see yourself. Joe wanted help people realise their potential by pushing themselves beyond what they realised they were capable of. He named the race, quite appropriately, after an ancient civilisation – Sparta. The Spartans, nearly 3 millennia after their city-state disappeared, are still recognised as the hardest and most resilient armies in the history. If you’re familiar with the movie 300, you may be surprised to know that the movie is based on real historical documentation of a battle in which 300 badass Spartan warriors defended Greece from a Persian army of thousands. How? Because of their “sign me up” attitude that feared comfort over challenge. How do you match up though? When was the last time you truly pushed yourself? It’s hard to test yourself running a 9-5 in an office, right? In a scene from the movie Green Street, one character says, “Once you realise you’re not made of glass, you don’t feel alive unless you’re pushing yourself as far as you can go.” Determination, focus and discipline are the traits of every warrior that competes in the Spartan Race. It’s go hard or go home. Joe believes that what you bring or discover at the Spartan Race, that warrior spirit, you’ll bring back into your home and work. People will see the difference, and you’ll feel the difference. You’ll be a warrior in the boardroom as much as on the running track. Joe De Sena will wake you up in today’s London Real. Don’t be caught sleeping!

FULL EPISODE: http://londonrealacademy.com/full-episodes/joe-de-sena-spartan-race/  Joe De Sena turned an interest in endurance racing into a passion. His racing resume is the stuff of legends – over 50 ultra-events overall and 12 Ironman Events in one year alone. Most of his races are 100 miles or more with a few traditional marathons in the mix. To put it in perspective, he did the Vermont 100, the Lake Placid Ironman and the Badwater Ultra in ONE week. For those that don’t know or just don’t want to hear the gory details, the elevation climb for Badwater is over 8,500 feet up to Mt. Whitney and temperatures soar into the 120’s. Joe also rode cross-country to the Furnace Creek 508 which has been coined “The Toughest 48 hours in sport.” It’s no wonder his favorite quote is, “Death is the price we pay for life, so make it worth it.”

WATCH: https://londonrealacademy.com/episodes/chris-eubank-english/ SUCCESS SECRETS: https://londonrealacademy.com/success-secrets/chris-eubank-success-secrets/ This Sunday morning, Brian steps into the ring with the one and only Christopher Livingstone Eubanks. In what is to be one of the best episodes in London Real history, we get an uncompromising portrait of the great icon and legend of British boxing. There are no half-measures in boxing. In a sport that pushes the human body to it’s absolute peak, it’s all or nothing every day. Eubank is a man that has experienced high performance on a scale few of us could dream, on Sunday we hear the story from both inside the ring and outside it. Eubank is a gentleman, as sharp and as vivid a storyteller as there is, sharing with signature poetic eloquence a biography forged in blood, sweat and perseverance. From poverty and trouble in school, to the top of his game his story is one of greatness. In his first 10 years as a professional boxer Eubank went undefeated. He held world titles at both Middleweight and Super Middleweight, was world champion for over 5 years. Pushing himself to the limit he has inspired thousands to put on the gloves and to step in the ring. The life lessons of a boxer, however, are just as real and relevant in any context. Whoever you are, whatever you do this is one interview that will change you. Tune in.

WATCH ON THE ACADEMY: https://londonrealacademy.com/full-episodes/joe-cross-fat-sick-nearly-dead/ If you’ve missed the juicing phenomenon that took the health world by storm this year, then allow us to introduce you to one of it’s patron saints - Mr Joe Cross. Joe, who was suffering from a serious autoimmune disease, was 310lbs and on steroids had had enough and knew that a change of lifestyle was in order. His aim was simply to abandon the conventional medications and pills, which were taking their toll on his health overall, and to only drink fresh fruit and juiced vegetables. It was a drastic bid to regain control of his life and his body - and it paid off! His journey was recorded in a feature length documentary (which is available on Netflix) called ‘Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead’. It traces his complete passage from depressed and overweight to revitalised and, as he likes to say, “rebooted”. Since the movie it’s been his aim to share the knowledge and encourage others to abandon the junk food of restaurants and supermarkets in favour of juicing. He exhibits the best of the Australian character - fiery, funny and down-to-earth genuine - which makes him a great guest and an even better educator. So, suspend your disbelief and don’t miss this weeks episode, it might just change your life.

Born into a family of rich aristocratic heritage she seems an unlikely advocate for psychedelic drug policy reform, but she is leading one of the most informed and rational conversations with the donation funded Beckley Foundation - of which she is the founder and Director. The Beckley Foundation is a UK-based think-tank that, since its establishment in 1998, has been at the forefront of global drug policy reform and scientific research into the potential medical benefits of psychoactive substances, with a particular focus on cannabis and the psychedelics. The Foundation’s Scientific Programme collaborates with leading experts and institutions on a wide range of projects investigating the neurophysiology, pharmacology and subjective effects of meditation and psychoactive substances. This pioneering research has shed much light on the mechanisms of action of these substances, their therapeutic potential and consciousness itself. The Foundation’s Policy Programme has greatly influenced global drug policy reform. The Foundation had been responsible for organising a series of pivotal international seminars at the House of Lords, publishing over 40 much-cited books and reports, holding numerous meetings with thought-leaders, and advising other policy makers such as President Pérez Molina of Guatemala on drug policy reform. Amanda is changing the conversation and perhaps is one of the most exciting guests relating to the field of drug reform that we’ve had on the show.

Is Your Peer Group Holding You Back? My #ThoughtOfTheWeek  I've spent the past week in Napa, California, at Mastermind Talks - an incredible event organised by Jayson Gaignard that brings together a super impressive people at the top of their game. Spending time with this group has reinforced the notion that you really are the average of the people you spend the most time with, and while I'm lucky to meet amazing people every week through London Real, I could still be doing better. My goal for this year is to help you, as London Realers and London Real Academy members, upgrade your peer group by facilitating interaction with each other so that you're exposed to people that are going to push you to become better in business and as a person, and hold your ACCOUNTABLE to your goals. Leave me a comment below telling me your goals for the year, how you think you're doing, and whether or not your peer group is really helping you achieve them.

For Magnus Walker an obsession with the Porsche 911 started back in 1977 at the Earl’s Court Motor Show. Since, he’s become the world’s most prolific collector, film location scout and clothes designer with his flowing dreadlocks, beanie hat and powerful beard. Now based in Los Angeles, Walker was born in Yorkshire. Drawn to an American Dream of sorts he leapt at the opportunity to work at Camp America outside Detroit in 1986. He quickly abandoned Detroit for the west coast, making his way to LA, looking for work. It was there that his career took an unexpected turn. After being able to make a quick profit selling a pair of PVC trousers to a punk rocker, who in turn asked for eight more pairs, he knew America could deliver on it’s promise of prosperity in the accidental career choice of clothes design. By the 90s Walker had his own brand, Serious Clothing, championed by the likes of Madonna and Alice Cooper. His other business venture, a film location company, started in a similar way in 2011. After a business called looking to film a music video at his Serious Clothing Warehouse. And where do the Porsches come into this? Well, one never forgets their first love and for Walker, his first love was smell of gasoline and the smooth shaped bodywork of the 911. With business running solidly he could concentrate on his dream, the ultimate Porsche 911 collection. Since then, opportunity has come knocking once again. A documentary, screen-time on Jay Leno’s Garage show and the boyhood dream of a visit to Porsche in Stuttgart fulfilled. Magnus Walker’s story is the real story of finding opportunity and running with it. Watch it, this Sunday, on London Real.

Marc Goodman is a thinker, writer and global strategist exploring what criminality and terrorism could look like in the close future. With technology advancing at exponential rates, it becomes an open opportunity platform for those within our international society that would seek to threaten others. All are realistic threats, from global crime networks stealing your identity to hidden terror cells 3D printing AK-47 rifle and drones. Marc is asking the questions out loud, and bringing some answers. How open are these amazing breakthrough technologies, robotics, AI, social data, synthetic biology to manipulation? It’s a hot topic and Marc’s book, Future Crimes, shot straight up the New York Times bestseller list after it’s release two months ago. But Marc, of course, isn’t just another journalist. He’s writing from experience working for Interpol in France. While training police forces from around the world he realised the rising threat of cybercrime and terror - a trend that would only continue as the internet would embed itself into every aspect of life. Actively establishing space for the future crime conversation Marc set-up the Future Crimes Institute, a think-tank organisation committed to informing and educating about the risks of new technologies. He’s also continually writing for the academics at Harvard and Oxford, while also getting the message out to the population in the likes of Wired magazine. Today on London Real, take a journey to the frontline of cyber warfare and crime. FUTURE CRIMES The Book: http://bit.ly/1z81rS5
