145. Becoming Superhuman with Gavin Johnson

“When you fail, its just a moment, it’s not permanent, it doesn’t define you as a person”

Gavin Johnson has always been a keen sportsman, he started as a decathlete and moved into the javelin winning various national medals.

When Covid-19 hit, Gavin decided to change a few things in his life, focusing on writing, art and other business ventures with the hope of coming out of the pandemic better than he went in. He set about developing skills and began training to be a Life Coach which inspired him to write no less than 3 books!

We discuss the driving force behind his achievements as well as going deep on the importance of cognitive distortions and the impact it’s having on society and people.

Such a great conversation in which we touch on topics such as:

  • Covid-19 and pivoting our intentions
  • The path to athletic achievement
  • Having the belief that you can achieve anything
  • Knowing when it is time to quit or keep going
  • Visualisation & mindset hacks
  • Placing your energy in the right places
  • Optimising your environment for success
  • Breaking down goals to make them achievable
  • The no-hope illusion
  • Inner peace our greatest goal
  • Racism in today’s society
