Quick Hit #53: The 1% Rule
The latest Academy Quick Hit is all about a very special moment for us over here at Resist Average Academy: THE 1% RULE IS NOW OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED! During this Quick Hit, I talk about the why behind the book, the process and what to expect when you deep dive into it. I wrote this book for you... Because I wanted to shift the perspective that we need anything external to fall in love with who we are. THE 1% RULE BOOK LAUNCH IS COMING! I'm so excited to announce the launch of my brand new book, The 1% Rule. The 1% Rule was designed to answer three core questions: Why do some people seem to achieve massive success in everything they do, while others can’t even get out of their own way? What separates those who get excited and inspired for a season, a quarter, a month or a week — and those who are consistently on fire? What are the core principles, mindsets, habits and rituals of those who execute ruthlessly, and those who sit on the sidelines pondering? …through exploring these answers over the last decade the core principles, strategies and proven framework of The 1% Rule were born and are now yours today.

Quick Hit #52: Don't Miss Your Window
The latest Academy Quick Hit is all about a simple, yet crucial concept in your life: The window of your transformation. Technically, you can choose to change at any moment, that's for sure... ...however you and I have "windows" where we know it's time to go all in, and if we don't — we may always wonder what could have been. I see this often, where people give up too soon or don't last long enough or have the courage to step into their window and make the bold decisions they need to, and lose momentum. THE 1% RULE BOOK LAUNCH IS COMING! I'm so excited to announce the launch of my brand new book, The 1% Rule.

Ep. 94 | Master Your Craft and Embrace Deep Work with Cal Newport
The latest Academy episode features one of my favorite authors, researchers, and bloggers — Cal Newport. Cal is the author of five books and runs the popular advice blog, Study Hacks, which attempts to decode "patterns of success" in both school and the working world. His contrarian ideas on building a successful, meaningful life have been featured on TV, radio, and in many major publications, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and New York Post. His book Deep Work changed the way I operate in life and business and has easily become one of my most gifted books to help master a craft, cut out the noise and move forward in life. The truth is: most people won’t love the book because we’re addicted to social media, multitasking, and distraction. Yet Cal argues that in a world where Deep Work is becoming rarer — it’s also becoming increasingly valuable. During this value-rich, inspiring conversation — you’ll discover the definition of deep work, why you need to embrace it, Cal’s discovery and implementation of it, the power of disconnecting, re-charging and focusing and so much more. You’ll also learn that Deep Work is a skill and a muscle you and I can work on every single day, how to embrace boredom and the benefits of living a deep life. LIKED WHAT YOU HEARD?
