Uncover the secrets to optimising your potential, rewiring your brain, and learning new tools for self-improvement in this episode with Paul McKenna.

Paul McKenna is a behavioural scientist and author, with the goal of helping people become the best version of themselves. Drawing from his experiences working with people like The Who’s Roger Daltrey and James Cordon, Paul explains the power of rewiring the mind and the transformative effects of visualisation and hypnosis. Paul debunks the misconceptions about hypnosis and shares how it can empower individuals by granting them more control over their minds, rather than taking away power.

Jake and Damian are guided by Paul through a visualisation practice, aimed at utilising both of the positive and negative parts of the self to help them find their ‘optimised super-self’. Paul offers practical steps to developing self-belief and inner confidence. Drawing from his most recent book, Success for Life, this episode explores the power of the mind.
