In this episode I dive into how we can delegitimize and negate negative self talk, and show a segment of my latest video on the topic, called "You vs You." 

In this episode I talk about the power of gratitude and the choice to see what we have in life, as opposed to focusing on the things we don't.    

"To change one's life: start immediately, do it flamboyantly." - William James In this episode I talk about how being on the fence, unsure or timid is not conducive to transforming one's life.

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be" - Ralph Waldo Emerson In this episode I tell a story about a Japanese warrior who changes the outcome of a battle by simply changing the perspective of his men, and reinforce the idea that we become who we decide to be.

30 minutes of a 16 hour day (assuming you sleep for 8) is roughly 3% of your day.  Imagine if, every day, you took that 3% and allocated it towards something you want to improve upon.  Perhaps something you've been putting off, maybe something you don't even particularly enjoy doing, but you know that daily completion of this task would position you for long term success.  How would you spend that 3%?

In this episode I talk about the power of a fresh start and delve into the importance of separating who you were yesterday from who you are today.

In this episode, I discuss a concept from photographer Ahndraya Parlato on the importance of temporarily stepping away from your craft in order to reassess what matters and why you did it to begin with, a process she calls hibernation.

In this episode I chat with Bestselling Author, CEO and philanthropist Tom Pace about building a business, the power of running and why we must all give to others in order to live our best lives.

In this episode I discuss a quote from Woody Allen that 80% of life is simply showing up...and how finding the discipline to continue on when you least want to is critical to success.

In this episode we remove the complexity and zero in on a crucial message: There is always more in you to give "Just Do More" Full Video: https://bit.ly/2P5zqpl

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” - George Bernard Shaw In this episode I discuss two type of people: Those who conform to how things are and those who shape how things are, the latter of which become the architects of reality.

In this episode I talk about a study involving a basketball and a gorilla, expounding upon the idea that we only see what we decide to focus on.

In this episode I tell a story about a hit to the ego I took a few years back and how our obstacles present for us an opportunity to transform for the better.

In this episode I talk about a guiding principle to help push you through fear and stagnation, and ultimately make the changes needed to transform your life. 

In this episode I discuss the danger and deceptiveness of plans without action and talk about the release of my upcoming video "A Box of Plans." 

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Henry David Thoreau In this episode we look at a short story about a village fisherman and examine whether we are building our lives around the right things.

Join us as we chat about making time for your passion, learning through failure, and capturing the memories that mean the most.

In this episode I talk about our tendency to hesitate, and even become paralyzed by decisions that are ultimately reversible. Very rarely are decisions permanent, yet we treat them as though they are. Life is short, but we weren't built for perfection...we were built for exploration, so move forward knowing that the obstacles can be overcome, the best days are ahead and no path is permanent. 

In the episode, I tell a story about a couple of frogs and explain why you should never give haters or critics power to control the narrative of your life.

In this episode I examine Robert Frost's quote, "The best way out is always through" and how the only way to gain control of a situation is to face it head on and attack.

In this episode I talk about the power of simply hanging on; not playing offense, bust defense. We tend to associate greatness with the home run or the big moment, when in reality, the spectacular is simply a culmination of little decisions to just hang on when things become challenging. 

The things we fear most rarely occur, and when they do, they usually don't end up being as bad as we thought they would be. This episode is about trusting yourself to handle the curveballs life throws and walk with greater confidence into the unknown.  

Join me as I chat w/Steve Celi and Terrance McMahon about personal growth, the ability to find happiness in our fast pace world, and the beginning of a new chapter.

In this episode I discuss the importance of creating perspective for ourselves. Just like a fish never realizes he's in water due to his inability to see anything else, we often become so consumed with our own lives that we forget to step out and ask the important question: Is where we are going in line with where we want to be?

On today's podcast, I discuss the 10 most important lessons I've learned through my first 100 episodes of Your World Within Daily

In this episode I re-examine our perception of obstacles and challenges that lie ahead.  Instead of asking ourselves whether a problem can be solved, what if we started with the premonition that it can, and instead moved right to the solution.  If where you are is a dot, and where you want to be is a dot, the focus and energy should be on simply connecting the two, as all dots connect.

In this episode I discuss the value of either going all in or nothing at all.  So many times in life we have one toe in the water, we're half committed, and doing things day in/day out that don't serve us or improve our lives. Peak living is about doing more of what makes you feel alive and less of what doesn't.  Admittedly, life isn't black and white, and we can't ONLY do what we want, but with some awareness and conscious effort we can certainly remove the things that don't excite us and do more of the things that do.

In this episode I fast forward to my older self sitting on the porch and reflecting back on my life.  Did I do what was safe or did I allow myself to be vulnerable? Did I live authentically or live how others thought I should?   As Jeff Bezos has stated, life is about regret minimization, and that path begins right now with the next decision you make.  

In this episode, I discuss a similarity that exists between life and filmmaking, in which, we only see what we choose to focus on. This means choosing the right things to have front and center in our lives is critical to a happy, healthy existence.   

In this episode I explain that following people, all of which are imperfect, brings a danger of walking down a path that was given, not chosen. Following ideas on the other hand, requires one to be in tune with their own values/beliefs and live a life true to that criteria.   

In this episode I dive into the power of perspective and how refusing to take things personally can be one of your greatest superpowers. 

In this episode I talk about compounding effort and how so much of our time and energy, while essential, does not become visible until a later point. Using a few metaphors/examples of lily pads and ice cubes, I make the case that it is one's ability to endure the times of minimal reward that ultimately sets them up for substantial success.

"Patience is not passive, on the contrary, it is concentrated strength" - Bruce Lee In this episode I dive into the power of patience and how it is the foundation for anything and everything worth having in life.

In this episode, I play a fireside chat with Evan Carmichael from last years Your World Within Live event, where Evan sheds light on his experiences as an entrepreneur, author and Youtube creator. Delving into topics from handling criticism to building a personal brand to the ins and outs of effectively using social media, there is something here for everyone!

In this episode I talk about the idea that you can't give what you don't have.  Just like an orange, when squeezed, can only produce orange juice, outside circumstances can only bring out of us what already exists. When we change our thought patterns and belief systems, it becomes apparent that the outside world has far less control over our emotional state than perhaps we once thought.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." In this episode I touch on the power of "cutting away" and the ability to be clear and concise with our thoughts, words and actions.

"If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse." In this episode I discuss a good friend of mine who continues to pursue and master his passion despite the challenges and complexities of everyday life....and float the reminder that the world doesn't get to dictate your reality, you do.

In a world that is constantly trying to tell you what to think, how to act and who you are, this episode is about rising above the noise and creating your world within...

"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ol days before you've actually left them." - Ed Helms In this episode I discuss the power of the present moment and how to ensure we don't walk right by the things that matter most.

In this episode I discuss the idea that life is a marathon.  Not a black and white solution to some problem waiting to be solved, but a beautiful culmination of peaks, valleys, wins and losses that come to define our experience and make life worth living.

Sometimes it's not about taking drastic measures or searching for a larger than life solution...sometimes it's simply hanging on when others are letting go...

As much as we are inclined to live problem free lives, Mark Manson suggests that life is not about removing problems as much as it is about choosing the right ones. Happiness is growth, and in essence, positioning yourself to face and conquer the problems that mean the most to you.   In this episode I dive into the task of removing that which doesn't serve you and exhausting precious time and energy only on that which does.

We tend to think of motivation as the spark that gets us going, igniting our rational for moving forward and causing us to jump off the couch and enthusiastically push toward our goals. But what if, as Mark Manson states in his book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck" action is what creates motivation? That by simply moving we are putting ourselves in position to manufacture the small wins that ultimately define our success. Maybe we missed the mark, and rather than needing a full understanding of the destination, the important thing is that we simply begin taking steps.

There are two ways to look at everything: 1. Through a lens of what has been lost 2. Through a lens of what can be gained In this episode I discuss the importance of training our minds to see the opportunity in life. Even in chaos, there are advantages waiting to be found.

In this episode I sit down with my friend Rod Lake, delving into his perspectives and lessons learned as an entrepreneur and Hollywood producer. As the founder of numerous companies over the years, from Airborne to Vejo, to the motion pictures he's brought to life, Rod sheds light on his philosophy that gratitude is everything.  As he puts it, success stems from making sure the things that matter least don't overshadow the things that matter most. I hope you enjoy the episode.  There is certainly something here for everyone!
