350 - Mark Manson: The Origin of Hope (vs. Hopelessness)

You've heard of the book,"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life."  It's the #3 most read book on Amazon and a "New York Times" bestseller. And the book, written by Mark Manson, is still skyrocketing. But ENOUGH. Mark is ready to move on. He's been doing press for the book for over a year. And it's pulling him back from getting to a place where his brain can look for new ideas. So I asked what he's curious about. I wanted to know what's next. "I'm fixated on this idea of hope and meaning right now," Mark said. He broke it down. And revealed his opinion on why there's so much hopelessness and meaningless now. Our conversation went deep. And we got into topics I haven't talked about much on this podcast. And now... thanks to Mark, I have new ideas, too.

349 - Jon Morrow [Anniversary Episode]: He Made Half a Million Dollars in 9 months. This is What Kept Him Motivated

There are very few times in my life that I am so incredibly grateful to meet someone. And this was definitely one of those top 10 moments for me. Jon Morrow has created several multi-million dollar businesses. He's the founder of Smart Blogger and written several viral articles including "On dying mothers and fighting for your ideas" and "How to quit your job, move to paradise and get paid to change the world." Jon is the epitome of overcoming obstacle. He was paralyzed from the neck down at birth. That didn't stop him. It motivated him. Because he knew he could end up in a nursing home. And nothing scared him more. I asked him everything: how he built his businesses, consulting practice, how he wrote without being able to type. And with every question I asked, he had an answer. He had a story. Or experience to share. And I'm grateful I can share it with you.   Show Notes: Jon's website SmartBlogger.com Jon's most popular blogs that went viral: "On dying mothers and fighting for your ideas" and "How to quit your job, move to paradise and get paid to change the world" "How to accomplish big things even when you feel small" "Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us" by Seth Godin Tribes: The Case Studies (which Jon was featured in) + it's a free PDF Fight Club unstoppable.me Jon mentioned a few successes from his course: Danny Iny - Mirasee Jennifer Grisham - Everyday Bright Tommy Walker - (runs content for Shopify)   I write about all my podcasts!

Jocko Willink is a retired Navy SEAL. Jocko has taken what he learned from the military and is teaching others how to live their life the same way, including our kids. He lives by a code.

346 - Nell Scovell: From Old to Original: How to Take Tired Ideas and Make Them New

Nell Scovell had a dream career working in television. She's worked on every classic I can remember. And she even created a show, "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." She took tired sitcom plots and put them through what she calls a "magical blender." And out came something original. She told me how her ambition to be a prominent female television writer gave her these amazing opportunities that us men can only dream of. And how being on the sidelines gave her the confidence to lead a team to success.   Links and Resources Just the Funny Parts...

345 - Aubrey Marcus: Human Optimization + Peak Performance (A Guide)

Aubrey Marcus is the CEO and founder of Onnit, a company dedicated to human optimization and peak performance. I like what Aubrey had to say because it's not just what you'd typically think of when you hear the words "optimize" or "peak performance." He says, "You gotta live a life that's worth living. Live a life that's well-rounded, balanced and includes the things like having a glass of wine or smoking a joint and making love to your lover, playing with your dog and hanging out, but also being extremely productive, also meditating, also eating right, also training like a beast." And his philosophy is backed up by clinical studies. He really has the science to prove his theories. So I'm testing them all.  Show Notes Onnit Own the Day Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus Alpha Brain   Also Mentioned The Joe Rogan Experience Kettlebells My interview with Rich Roll My interview with Freeway Rick Ross (the infamous drug dealer and now philanthropist)  Alpha Brain  Ginko Huperzia Serrata  Acetylcholine system (responsible for memory, sharpness, focus) Gaba Dopamine Serotonin Boston Center for Memory (this is where Aubrey did his clinical trials for Alpha Brain) Aubrey's interview with Tim Ferriss Aubrey's interview with Gary Vaynerchuk Tim Ferris' video working out with kettlebells  Brody Miller Rodger Huerta The steel mace The steel club Zeitgeber (the external cues that help sync your circadian rhythm) The Human Charger (light emitting earbuds)  Wim Hof method Norepinephrine Chronic stress Snus (a Swedish tobacco company)  The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book) by Don Miguel Ruiz The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship: A Toltec Wisdom Book by Don Miguel Ruiz You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter by Dr. Joe Dispenza A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises From The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Island by Aldous Huxley Sex at Dawn by Cacilda Jethá and Christopher Ryan   I write about all my podcasts!
