#411: A Radical Shift in Treating and Understanding Psychology
From thousands of hours of researching human performance, I've seen many parallels to the mechanics of performance and social anxiety. To be honest, I've seen the same connections to PTSD, cancer, auto-immune diseases and hypertension.
In this episode, I will walk you through the dots that I've connected.
I don't claim to be an expert in this category but I have seen some things that have really made me think and question the current rhetoric behind these concepts and how we treat them.
Check this podcast out to see these ailments from a more holistic, neuroscience perspective.

#410: How Your Brain is Destroying Your Personal Economy
Over the last 1,000 years, humans have behaved the exact same way. We have had the same problems with money, politics, and the economy.
Books like The Fourth Turning and The Changing World Order, have perfectly predicted what would be happening today.
How can everything be so predictable? Human Nature and the Brain is unchanging.
To create a booming personal economy, you must hedge against the natural reactions of human nature and build a bulletproof brain.

#409: Why You Should be Training Like a Professional Athlete
There is a MASSIVE misconception about how professional athletes workout.
When I got to the NBA, I was shocked at what these guys were doing. Well, more like shocked at what they WEREN'T doing.
I would like to teach you why they do such untraditional workouts and why you are missing out BIG TIME but not doing the same.

#408: The Neuroscience Way to Wealth
This may be the most important podcast I've ever done. I am 100,000,000% positive that the brain is the answer to your struggles. If you're struggling to make a $100 or $100,000,000, you are only limited by the neural connections in your brain.
Benjamin Franklin outlines his 2 rules to "reinforce their pockets" and they are simple. But the execution is the challenge and the challenge lies in your brain.

But Franklin had a secret mission. Sprinkled throughout the news, current events and weather reports, were virtues, lessons and tips on how to get wealthy.
Why did he go to such great lengths to help his fellow colonists bank ledgers?

There is no one marketing better than Domino's Pizza. If you are an entrepreneur, you've got to study what they are doing.

By the end of today's episode, I want you to be very clear about what the long-term process of marketing really looks like and get you to start adjusting the time horizon of your marketing strategy.

#404: The Secret to Training NBA Athletes and How You Can Use It To Be More Productive
Training elite athletes is a lot different than you think. When you are one of the world's top performers, the goal of training is to condition your body to be at your best every single night. When I worked in professional baseball, we played a game every single night. Well, as an entrepreneur, you face the same challenge. Long hours and working weekends and holidays, the game never sleeps and you must be at your best every night.
Today's episode will show you three ways we trained this into our professional athletes. All three of these strategies are easily executed with little or no equipment.
Thanks for listening!

#403: How to Virtually Guarantee That Your Business Becomes Successful
Like most entrepreneurs today, my business was built on the back of social media. Most of the money I earned in my first 2-3 years was thanks to Instagram. But social media has become a powerful, yet unreliable source of income. My goal became to find a way to make my income predictible instead of throwing out a ton of content and hoping for the best.
I've developed a fairly simply strategy that revolves around one key tenet... DATA. If you can measure what you're doing, split test your funnel steps, it's hard to imagine your business won't find success at some point.

#402: Grow Your Brand Through Serving at the Highest Level with Neal Hallinan
Neal Hallinan is recognized around the world as a leading expert in postural restoration but it's his own story that paved the way for that to be possible. In this conversation, Neal discusses how he has self-corrected his own skull (YES! You read that right), the power of being able to see the big picture and how he was able to grow his YouTube brand to nearly 25,000 subscribers.
Personally, Neal and I have been friends for several years now and I can say he is one of the most genuinely nice people in the game. Neal's commitment to learning and serving is on display every time we interact and I'm grateful to have him on the podcast.

#401: I Believe "Flow State" Can Be Turned On/Off Like a Lightswitch
After finishing "The Unteathered Soul" by Michael Singer, I'm left wondering about the laws of flow. My eyes are more open to all the places that flow exists and it makes me wonder if this is one of the natural laws of the business. In this episode, I will explain my philosophy on what it means to be in "flow state" and why I think you can train yourself to effortlessly access it.
This is the official launch of the Weight Room Wealth Podcast.

#381: Faith Over Fear
Serendipitously, I stumbled on a podcast from Russell Brunson where he was reviewing one of my all-time favorite books, Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. In the book, Hill talks about how all decisions are either made on faith or on fear.
For example, let’s say you had to do some door-to-door selling for your business. I know you don’t want to do it. You know you don’t want to do it. The whole world knows that nobody wants to do it. But what is guiding your decisions. Is it the faith that you’ll find some great relationships and business or the fear of the rejection?
What was so striking to me about this theory is that, when I look back on this financial windfalls, they all came from a place of faith. The situations that I found myself in made fear a non-factor. If I gave into the fear, failure was automatic.
When I decided to keep going and not quit, I stopped fear from having a voice.
When I created a plan of action, I simply could not let fear have any influence.
When I had to start taking action immediately, fear had to be suppressed because I had no other choice.
The external factors had forced me to disregard fear in my decision making and every single time I’ve had to do that, I’ve had major success!
So then the question is, how can I replicate this and avoid the crisis?
#380: What Does it Take to Make a lot of Money?
My current record is $27,000 in one day.
In fact, I’ve had a number of days or periods of time that have been massively successful for me.
Yesterday, I was thinking about all of these times and trying to find the similarities. What do all of these financial events have in common.
#379: Barbara From Shark Tank Watched My IG Story
I just kicked up my Dream 100 strategy and this time I'm all in. After just a few days, I've already gotten some pretty cool results. Here is how I'm attacking the ultimate networking game and why I think it encompasses entrepreneurship so well.
#378: Raising Your Rates from $1100 to $35,000
When I worked for the Lakers, we constantly had vendors coming in telling us how their product was going to dramatically improve the performance of the players. At that point, I’d seen it all. I’d seen little lasers the guys could rub on their muscles, to machines they stand in to measure the fat around their internal organs. Just crazy stuff. None of it had any measureable effect.
You go into any NBA weight room across the league and everyone is doing all the same basic stuff. The best teams just have better players.
You go into any successful business’ board room around the world, and they are doing all the same basic stuff. The best businesses just have better players.
What this tells me is that, now, as you try to grow your business from X to 10X, the value you give will be the same. Maybe you’ll package it in a nicer gift basket, but the value will remain roughly the same.
You’re selling common sense. Think about it. How the heck can a personal trainer stay employed when literally everyone in the world knows how to lose weight and get jacked? Nobody is reinventing the wheel here.
So, if the tactics remain the same, how will you eventually start making more money? How will you eventually raise your prices?
If the value remains the same, that means you’re missing something. There’s something about money, or business that you don’t know, that is stopping your income dead in its tracks.
#377: Neuroscience, Decisions and Achievement
I studied neuroscience for several years which unknowingly prepared me for my career as an entrepreneur. What I learned was that there were two main functions in the brain that caused people to do what they do.
The first is the neocortex. This is the outer surface of the brain and here, all of your memories and past experiences are stored. Just like a filing cabinet. Your brain keeps them there as a point of reference so it can be prepared for similar events in the future.
The second is a process called allostasis. I call this predictive physiology. This is where your body predicts what it will need in the next moment and prepares for it.
A great example of allostasis would be when you see a pizza commercial on TV and your mouth starts to water. Your brain is receiving and input (seeing the cheesy pizza) and based on experience, it believes it’s about to eat some, so it produces a reaction to prepare for the incoming slice. Don’t think for a minute, the Pizza Hut guys don’t know this!
In business, let’s say you have to do some cold calling. Your brain begins to search the filing cabinets to see what info it has on cold calling. It finds the folder and it reads, “I hate this; It’s awkward; They will get mad at me.” Then the brain will do what the brain does and prepare for that awful experience.
#376: The Madden Curse
Did you know I was once Top 8% in the world in Madden? The popular NFL video game is by far my favorite game on the planet. I recently got the latest edition and I want to play it all day long!
But I have a business to run!
I am not immune to the intense pull to do fun things instead of tedious business tasks but here is how I'm working through it.
#375 My Marketing Scheme...REVEALED!
THIS is your marketing problem.
When entrepreneurs tell me that they are struggling with marketing, it’s always the fear of success holding them back. They are hoping to somehow paste success on top of their current lifestyle and that simply is not possible.
It isn’t difficult to find new customers.
If you have a great offer, that solves a common problem, then people are going to want to buy it from you.
The single greatest reason why entrepreneurs struggle with “marketing,” is because they thought it was going to be a lot easier than it actually is.#374: Discovering Your Business' Competitive Advantage
This is a real thing and it all comes down to human psychology. If you are an entrepreneur, you must become more aware of how we all make decisions so you can make the best decisions for your business' growth. This is how you find your business' ultimate competitive advantage!
#373: What Are You Doing With Your Life?
I had two experiences this morning where I happened to see to business employees sleeping on the job and boy did that get me thinking. What are you even doing with your life? Are you just waiting till death?
#372: Shiny Object Syndrome
How can entrepreneurs stop being fooled by shiny new opportunities. We are marketers, after all. We should know better. Shiny object syndrome is the path of least resistance but not the path of most success.
#371: Your Only Marketing Option If You're Price is Below $500
This really isn't an exaggeration. The only exception is if you have received funding for your business. This is a must listen for all entrepreneurs.
#370: Why Ordinary People CANNOT Be Successful
Everyone is looking for a strategy to take them to the top but the strategies are readily available. The difference is in the operator. If I gave you and Jeff Bezos the exact same strategy to use and the same resources available, he would win not because he had a better strategy but because he's a better operator.
#369: How Rich People Justify Expensive Helicopter Rides
Every day, I watch sleek, private helicopters shuttle, what I assume are very rich people, from nearby airports to Manhattan and the Hamptons. The economics of helicopter flights are crazy. THOUSANDS of dollars per flight. So how can they justify that cost. Well, after this episode, you will think they are INSANE if they ever don't take a helicopter.
