Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

In life, we're told to follow a predictable, safe, and predictable path: go to school, get good grades, land a "safe" job with a nice salary and then check off the boxes of society. There is no doubt this system "works" —but is it what you really want? Personally, it took me a lot of challenges, crisis, getting laid off and doing terrible at school to realize the system is not for me and I was basically unemployable. At that time, my sister gave me a book called The Art of Non Conformity by Chris Guillebeau, who is the latest guest on the Academy. Chris is the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup, The Happiness of Pursuit, and other books. Chris travels the world and writes for a small army of remarkable people at ChrisGuillebeau.com. Follow him on Twitter (@chrisguillebeau), Instagram (@193countries), or listen to his daily podcast (Side Hustle School), at SideHustleSchool.com. His newest book, The Money Tree, is out now.  During this conversation, you'll discover the best path to clarity during this time of challenge, what it means to be unemployable, why crisis can bring out the best in us, how Chris got started on this path to being a pioneer in the self-development space and much, much more.  Ep. 164 | Chris Guillebeau Quotes “You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to.” -Chris Guillebeau “You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to.” -Chris Guillebeau “You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to.” -Chris Guillebeau Ep. 164 | Chris Guillebeau Links Art Of Non Conformity World Domination Summit The Money Tree Book MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED This is why I created a special Masterclass Experience —Make 2020 The Year Everything Changed.

Creativity is not optional, it's who you are. In the last 24 hours, you have been creative —in some shape, way or form. Because being creative is not about art, painting, drawing. It’s a muscle that we all have, we all tap into, we can harness to bring something to life: a meal, a conversation, a connection, a business, a book, anything. Enter the latest Resist Average Academy guest —Chase Jarvis. Chase Jarvis is an American artist, director, entrepreneur and author who co-founded the on-line educational platform Creative Live. Chase consistently uses his voice to educate and inspire people to achieve their creative potential, and the author of the brand new book, Creative Calling: Establish a Daily Practice, Infuse Your World with Meaning, And Succeed in Work + Life. Make no mistake: this episode has the potential to shift every part of your life, and I was absolutely blown away by how Chase showed up in a time where we are all dealing with stress, the unknown, and uncertainty. You’re going to discover why the old definition of creativity is a myth, how to tap into this power, why fulfillment is found when you are doing what lights you up, how to use your curiosity to find your purpose and passion —and so much more. Ladies and gentleman, please share this episode with your friends, and tag @chasejarvis and myself on Instagram: we want to hear from you. Ep. 163 | Chase Jarvis Quotes “Creativity is a muscle. It’s a habit not a skill. It’s a process not a product.” - Chase Jarvis "Everyone is creative." - Chase Jarvis "It's in creating small ways everyday that you understand you're able to create the life you want." - Chase Jarvis Ep. 163 | Chase Jarvis Links CreativeLive Creative Calling Chase Jarvis Show MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED This is why I created a special Masterclass Experience —Make 2020 The Year Everything Changed.

Where does anxiety come from and how do you and I release it to find peace, calm and clarity? Personally, I find a massive difference between stress and anxiety: usually, I can trace back stress to a specific trigger. Anxiety, on the other hand, is oddly elusive. It comes and goes, sometimes, unpredictably. Especially during times of external challenge and chaos, it can end up owning us. Enter the latest Academy guest who is a world-class expert on all things anxiety, Dr. Judson Brewer —a thought leader in the "science of self mastery," having combined nearly 20 years of experience with mindfulness and scientific research therein. An expert in mindfulness training for addictions, Dr. Jud has developed novel treatments to help individuals with substance abuse and eating disorders. He has also studied the neural mechanisms of mindfulness using standard and real­time fMRI, and is translating these findings into clinical use. In this timely episode, you're going to discover how to unwind anxiety, create peace and calm on demand and do little practices that lead to big emotional clarity. With COVID-19, this is the time to double down on the "work" and Dr. Jud will walk you through how to do so in a simple, easy format.

Challenge, adversity, crisis —can be a place to shrink down, to give up, and to ultimately quit on our dreams, being overcome with circumstance.

All in. All in. All in. We hear this all the time, or have even said it: we're all in with our business, our dreams, the goals and desires we have. But the truth is: 95% of people who say it, are actually —not all in, because in my experience: most people who think they are all in are 40% in at best. In this episode, I give you some much needed #RealTalk and perspective on what your dreams will really take. Because I, too, have been the guy who talked big, but didn't act or show up big. If you want to be all in, do not miss listening to this episode as it will wake you up and put you in a place of power, clarity and immense growth.
