Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

Do you believe your personality is permanent and fixed —or can be shifted and shaped in any way? The truth is most people adopt labels of personality that come from other people, themselves or even personality tests: “I am not creative.” “I am not smart enough.” “I am an introvert or extrovert.” And the question we have to ask ourselves is —are these doing more harm than good? Enter the latest Academy guest —Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Dr. Ben Hardy is an organizational psychologist whose blogs have been viewed by over 100 million people and are featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, and many others. From 2015 to 2018, he was the #1 writer in the world on Medium.com. His latest book, Personality Isn’t Permanent debunks the myth that personality is innate and unchangeable, and gives you science-backed strategies for becoming the person you want to be. During this conversation you’ll learn the danger of personality tests, how to strip yourself away from personality labels, how to adopt a growth mindset, why your future self is the best place to make decisions from, how to increase your comeback rate and emotional agility and tons more. Ep. 172 | Personality Isn't Permanent with Benjamin Hardy Dr. Ben Hardy Blog Personality Isn't Permanent "Your behavior doesn’t come from your personality. Rather, your personality is shaped by your behavior. When you act a certain way, you then judge yourself based on your actions. Hence, you can quickly alter your identity simply by altering your behavior.” - Dr. Benjamin Hardy "People should be living by acting bravely as their future selves. Not by perpetuating who they formerly were." - Dr. Benjamin Hardy MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED This is why I created a special Masterclass Experience —Make 2020 The Year Everything Changed.

Your purpose, your business, your calling —is not only about ambition, abundance and financial resources. Rather, if you do it right, with intention —it becomes a spiritual quest to get to know who you are and why you’re here. Sounds deep, right? Well, that’s why we’re here and my next guest is all about this —Yanik Silver.

In this episode, you’re going to learn how to build a business with deep intention and purpose, why elevating who you are is the fastest way to grow your business, how business can be a spiritual quest of revealing who you really are, how to attract the right people at the right times, why you must act on clarity as soon as it comes, how your purpose may not always “make sense” and more.

Today’s episode is a completely new format and a very special guest —my incredible fiancee, Taylor Stone. Since we’re both at home now and have our own podcasts, we decided to click record and have an open discussion on some of the biggest lessons during this unique season of life and business. We discuss the biggest lessons from quarantine, the pursuit of less, how to tap into deep fulfillment, seek perspective and how everyone is more adaptable than they believe they are. We answer questions from social media on business, relationships, nutrition and more in a candid, off-the-cuff and fun back and forth. If you enjoyed this episode, let Taylor and I know by tagging us on Instagram and we’ll be sure to do it again!

Have you ever been to a "networking" event, collected tons of business cards —and then couldn't wait to take a shower? We've all been there, and let's be real here: 90% of "networking" events are a colossal waste of time, energy and effort. They are usually a pitchfest for some insurance or home repair services you're never going to use. But what about connecting? Enter my latest guest, David Burkus —one of the world's leading business thinkers. David's forward-thinking ideas and bestselling books are changing how companies approach innovation, collaboration, and productivity. As a skilled researcher and inspiring communicator, Burkus is one of the foremost minds shaping the future of business. His award winning books have been translated into more than a dozen languages, and his TED Talk has been viewed over 2 million times. His books include Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career, Pick a Fight: How Great Teams Find a Purpose Worth Rallying Around and several more. In this episode, you're going to learn why the old ideas and ways of networking are no longer "working", how to be creative and stand out, why COVID-19 can be a chance to re-connect with amazing people, how to harness technology the right way and tons more. Ep. 169 | David Burkus Quotes “Time away from work makes work better.” - David Burkus "Delete the social media apps from your phone." - David Burkus "This is a hard truth for some to accept: that a lack of resources may not be their true constraint, just a lack of resourcefulness.” - David Burkus MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED This is why I created a special Masterclass Experience —Make 2020 The Year Everything Changed.

You're not conventional, so why are you comparing yourself to those who are? Here's the truth: I may look put together but for most of my life I’ve been a misfit, a rebel, told I would never succeed —always feeling lost. Which means an unconventional path wasn’t some moment of inspiration —it was all I had. Today I wanted to share the biggest lessons I’ve learned from a decade in choosing an unconventional path and helping others do the same: An unconventional life. An unconventional business. An unconventional purpose and passion. To quote Joseph Campbell: "If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.” You're going to love this deep dive into the biggest lessons you can use today to remind you that you are carving a path that is yours, not someone else's!

Mastery. This is what comes up when I think of the latest guest on the Academy podcast —the one and only Robert Greene.  This episode is a total pleasure for me, as I've looked up to Robert's work for nearly a decade. Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, and Mastery. In his highly anticipated sixth book, The Laws of Human Nature, he turns to the most important subject of all – understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. This episode was filmed during quarantine, but it was still incredibly special and you're going to discover how to find your purpose, the myths that keep people stuck on the path of mastery, why acquiring skills and mentorship is non-negotiable and much, much more. Ep. 168 | Robert Greene Links Robert Greene Blog Robert Greene Mastery Ep. 168 | Robert Greene Quotes "The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” - Robert Greene "Making something, doing something, is what the human brain is designed to do." - Robert Greene "The obstacles, the hardships, the resistance you get is what teaches you things and toughens you up." - Robert Greene "Start before you're ready." - Robert Greene “Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip; it is your life's artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.” - Robert Greene, 48 Laws Of Power MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED This is why I created a special Masterclass Experience —Make 2020 The Year Everything Changed.

Success, identity, ego, achievement and fulfillment. All of these require self-awareness; a skill that is essential in everyday life. For example: How do you stay in alignment with your true desires when you experience success or failure? How do you seek excellence in a part of your life while leaving enough space for other priorities? How do you get clear on what really matters and most importantly, check in with yourself? Enter the latest Academy guest —Gabby Reece. Gabby is not only a volleyball legend, but an inspirational leader, New York Times bestselling author, wife, and mother.

Your biggest obstacle in the way of your success, your next level of financial growth, the dreams, desires and ambitions you have is yourself. (Catch the full video episode on YouTube here.) Sounds crazy, right? But we so often are on a path of growth, doing the right things —and then we get in our own way: We self sabotage when we're on a roll. We don't allow ourselves to feel good now. We create drama that isn't even necessary. I've been there, and it's no way to live. But is there another way? Enter the latest Resist Average Academy guest, Dave Hollis —Husband. Father.

There are 4 Big Myths people are believing right now during this season of COVID-19 that are holding you back from performance, fulfillment and success. They are: MYTH #1: You need to hustle your face off right now. The first myth says you need to use every waking moment during this time to move forward with intensity and vigor —hustling your way to success. The danger here is you miss out on the valuable insights, clarity and breakthrough that can only come in the space, in the quiet, in the stillness as Ryan Holiday says. Instead, as I’ve been teaching my clients: Less is more —now is the time to identify your “Big 3” priorities and delete the rest of the noise. By focusing on less, you get “more”. MYTH #2: You need to simply “be” and unplug right now. You shouldn’t have a calendar right now, this is the time to “reset”, to let go, to align your chakras and find true North, right? Well, not quite —because while I do agree that this season is a powerful time to go inward, the premise is flawed: Without any structure, we lose ourselves. Without any boundaries, we say yes to BS. Without any discipline, distraction takes over. MYTH #3: You can’t grow (or start) a business right now. Maybe you were just getting started in your business —and now what? Well, disruption just fast forwarded 5 years, and the freelance, entrepreneurial, remote economy is only here to stay and grow faster than ever. Businesses that do not adapt will be left behind —but those who can deliver services virtually, fulfill on solving problems, are here to stay. Imagine if you’d started two years ago? Now is the second best time to do so. MYTH #4: Things will ultimately go back to “normal”. My generation have now had two once-in-a-lifetime wake up calls: I graduated in 2008 in the middle of the financial crisis, and now this. There are people who believe everything will go back to “normal” —and who are going to wait it out. Personally, crisis and “wake up calls” have taught me that I am 100% responsible, and no never rely on the government, an employer, or the old system.

Everyone sells. Everyone is looking to influence someone else. Even those who claim that they don't are actually doing it in a different way. And the truth is simple: if you care about what you do, the people you serve and how you can help them —it is your responsibility to get it in front of people. Especially during these times when it's easy to buy into "myths" that no one is buying, it's hard to make a sale, no one wants to invest. Enter the latest Academy guest —Brad Lea.
