I have long believed that the brain is the final frontier of human health and performance.
Ever since my days in professional sports, it has been extremely obvious to me how the "elite" have brains that don't work in the same way as an ordinary person.
I have been on a lifelong pilgrimage to find the answer and, to be honest, I think I've got it.
This episode will explain to you what I've found.
Here's What You're Going to Learn...
This episode is one that I will come back to over and over again and share with our clients as we grow.
I hope you enjoy it!
“When our limbic system anxiety circuit is triggered, we are neuroanatomically cut off from accessing our higher cortical thinking centers, which is where our learned knowledge is stored.” – Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor
In 1996, Harvard-trained Neuroanatomist, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. On the afternoon of this rare stroke (AVM), she could not walk, talk, read, write or recall any of her life.
In the grueling 8-year recovery process, Dr. Taylor uncovered one of the most profound neurological discoveries of our time.
We have all heard that we are only able to use a small fraction of our brain’s true power, but Dr. Taylor has committed her life to showing you how you can use ALL of it...or as she calls it, “Whole Brain Living.”
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor was named one of TIME Magazine’s Most Influential People in the World in 2008, she highlighted the first ever TED conference with her TED Talk “My Stroke of Insight” which has recorded over 8 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube and she was a premiere guest on Oprah’s Soul Series.
She is the author of two best-selling books and the #1 book on strokes on Amazon.
In this episode you will learn…

"What gets measured gets managed." - Tim Ferriss
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get an official lab test for your VO2 Max?
While VO2 Max is a popular data point to measure, it's not exactly the most important metric that the experts are looking at.
Today we welcome in Jenny Martin, the Chief Nursing Officer at RecoveryPlus, who will teach you everything you need to know about cardiopulmonary testing and give you an inside look at what the experts are looking for when you get your test.
Cardiopulmonary testing is a way for healthcare professionals to see how well your heart and lungs are working.
I visited RecoveryPlus a few months ago for my own testing and was really surprised by some of my test results. I think of myself as an athletic BEAST but my testing showed that I have some real holes in my armor.
To be blunt, this is incredibly important.
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in America and do you know what the #1 symptom of heart disease is...?

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.

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.

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!

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.
