https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_456-Full_Throttle_Thursday-Think_For_Yourself.mp3 In today’s episode, BT and I have a serious conversation about what’s been taking place in our country (the United States). It’s obvious to me there’s been something very ‘off’ about what’s happening. Historically, we’ve had censorship in the past, but never to the extent that we’re currently experiencing it. Highly regarded doctors and scientists with tremendous credibility are being kicked off YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. They’re being discredited for sharing views that don’t fit the COVID narrative. Today we’re bringing some of these issues to light.  In this episode, we discuss:   How top vaccine companies have rampant criminal behavior—with lawsuits and billions of dollars paid out for vaccine injuries—and they’re not liable for any of the harm they’ve caused The war being waged between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, with unprecedented division in the United States right now The Supreme Court argument on whether to stop vaccine mandates  (meanwhile, the information some of the justices have is completely wrong) The intense pushback other countries are seeing in response to totalitarian governments—meanwhile, the United States isn’t seeing this, because we’ve had it good for so long here; we don’t know what it’s like to have to fight for our freedom  The whole basis of our Constitution and our country has been that we can have civil debates and discuss different issues Our Constitution has freedom of speech and other countries don’t (because it’s not in their Constitution)—this is why Australia is putting people in camps and having lockdowns How the traditional media is making up stories and blowing things out of proportion—and the opposite side isn’t being broadcast in a way where everybody can easily access the information to be able to make their own decisions   Something very scary is taking place in all the free, democratic countries of the world. If you love this country, you need to be aware of what’s really going on. We need to think for ourselves, and not just accept any narrative across the board. It’s a very dangerous thing to have dissenting voices silenced. I encourage you to do your own research and make up your own mind about it.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 456 – Full Throttle Thursday – Think For Yourself: Censorship, Freedom of Speech, & the Direction Our Country is Headed The Joe Rogan Experience #1747 – Dr. Peter McCollough The Joe Rogan Experience #1757 – Dr. Robert Malone Valuetainement Podcast Patrick Bet David – Heated Vaccine Debate: Kennedy Jr. vs. Dershowitz Valuetainement Podcast Patrick Bet David – Robert Kennedy Jr. on Vaccine Regulation PDB Podcast #113 – Dr. Robert Malone Mikhalia Peterson Podcast #130 – Are Vaccines Safe?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_455-Be_Hungry.mp3 Many years ago, I found a book filled with gems on ambition and desire. It was called The Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier. It’s a phenomenal piece of work that most people have never read. In today’s episode I’m teaching on some of the ideas in that book.  You’ll learn:   Ambition and desire are the two keys to success  Before you can accomplish anything, you must be possessed by ambition  Ambition means “a deep seated desire to materialize certain ideals which exist in the mind as mental pictures” One of the biggest problems I see with people is that they don’t have enough desire to overcome the challenges to get where they want to go Most people were taught that it’s not okay to want something better  Being exposed to something better can open up a desire in your mind to want more     To get where we want to go in life, we must learn to use our internal compass to want something more than anything else. This is the essence of desire. Instead of just having an intellectual focus on our desire, we need to really feel it, be consumed by it…and be hungry for it.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 455: Be Hungry Unlock the true essence of desire by diving into these previously released episodes from The Successful Mind Podcast: Episode 069 -Self Awareness: Your Key To Success Episode 068 – What it Takes Episode 161 – David From The Stage: A Path to Freedom Part II If you enjoy the show, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_454-MindsetMondays_Be_Persistent_To_Achieve_Your_Goals.mp3 If you want to accomplish anything in life, you need to be persistent in your goals. Persistence needs to be a constant in your life—it needs to be a belief and also ingrained in your character. When a goal requires some difficulty or effort, you need persistence to reach it. In today’s episode you’ll learn: Amateurs’ minds are impregnated with mediocrity, and they’re playing life like a lottery game—they want to abandon their goals at the first sign of things getting difficult How Napoleon Hill interviewed 500 of the world’s most successful individuals who all agreed that there are certain principles for being successful in whatever you’re doing You need to be clear on what you want to trade your life for You need persistence to transmute desire into a monetary equivalent Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat Poverty is attracted to the person whose mind is favorable to it, as money is attracted to him whose mind has been deliberately prepared to attract it 6 steps on how to build up your desires, so you can increase your persistence   To reach your goals, you must do things with intention and actually change your character so that you’re lined up with principles that allow you to succeed. Asking, “When is it going to happen?” is the wrong question when it comes to your goals. Persistence will help you make it through the starts and stops, reboots and failures, as you’re trying to correct your own behavior.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 454: Mindset Monday’s – Be Persistent to Achieve Your Goals To reach your goals, you must do things with intention.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_453-How_To_Trust_Yourself_in_the_Year_Ahead.mp3 When a new year starts, millions of people make resolutions and then don’t do a damn thing with them. Most people will blow off their own goals and not follow through on anything they said they would do. Today BT and I discuss why it’s important to trust yourself to do what you say you’re going to do. Trusting yourself is the foundation for having an incredible 2022 and beyond. In today’s episode you’ll learn:   If you repeatedly say you’re going to do something, then don’t do it, it’s damaging to your psychology Your brain starts to develop a pattern that makes you not trust yourself every time you fail to follow through on something  If you don’t understand how you’re sabotaging yourself, you become a victim to your own self (and your subconscious mind actually has a strategy to get you to do this) It can take years and years to go up, and going down can happen so fast—so you shouldn’t even allow yourself to take a step down If we’re going to do something we’ve never done before, we have to learn how to do it Why BT doesn’t partake in social media—and why he plans on ending his five-year streak of daily running in 2022 When you build self trust, you create a rock-solid belief system where nothing can stop you, because your mind is so used to you keeping your word   2022 can be an amazing year if you start to really build trust with yourself.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 453 – Full Throttle Thursday – How to Trust Yourself in the Year Ahead   Start to build trust with yourself for the year ahead by listening to these previously released episodes from The Successful Mind Podcast Episode 046 -The Four Agreements Part I: Be Impeccable With Your Word Episode 015 – A Lesson on Trust Inside Episode 370 – My Best is All That Matters If you enjoy the show, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_452-ISotT_BretWeinstein_HeatherHeying.mp3 ​​Today I’ve got Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying on the show, and I couldn’t be more excited. Both evolutionary biologists (and a husband and wife team), they’ve spent their careers studying things like tropical biology, behavior, evolution of behavior, and sexual selection. Their book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, became a New York Times bestseller almost instantly, and yet it’s received almost no mainstream press.  Bret and Heather were both popular professors at Evergreen State College for 15 years, teaching students how to think evolutionarily. That all changed in 2017—when 50 students (whom Bret had never met) showed up at his classroom and demanded his firing and resignation over claims that he was a racist. This led to protests and eventually riots. Bret and Heather found themselves dragged into a very public fight at the college over diversity, equity, and inclusion measures. They left the college and are now reaching a much larger audience. In search of the truth, I had to interview them. In today’s episode, we discuss:   How the free speech crisis on college campuses isn’t really a “free speech” crisis—but a crisis of a much different nature (and it’s not limited to college campuses) How we all function by heuristics, which leads us to making all kinds of assumptions about what we see Why resorting to heuristics is leading many people to see a very compelling, but false, picture—and why seemingly intelligent individuals can’t see what’s actually taking place in the world  Science is supposed to be based on challenging the status quo and letting the data prove what the answer (or truth) is—but what we’re seeing is, in fact, an anti-scientific approach Why massive protests are taking place all around the world in countries where the people understand what tyranny is and are standing up against it—yet we’re not seeing any of that in the US Why people who were raised in the “WEIRD world” (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic) are susceptible to certain optical illusions, while other people aren’t   Bret and Heather say the rate of change in our world is outpacing our ability to keep up with it—as well as our ability to understand what is true. From an evolutionary perspective, if we can’t keep up with the rate of change, we will perish. And that’s the whole point. This is a fascinating interview you don’t want to miss!   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 440 – In Search of the Truth: Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century   More binge-worthy, truth seeking episodes from The Successful Mind Podcast: Episode 187 – Reality vs. Truth Episode 389 – We Live In Truth Episode 440 – In Search of the Truth: Nico Jenkins If you enjoy the show, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?

It was different from anything I’d ever experienced growing up. I wanted to hold that image and have all the beauty and luxury of that place burned into the cells of my mind. I was on my way to fly home. One of the biggest snowstorms in history was causing all the flights to be canceled. I remember sitting in a limo and having a conversation with my mentor, Bob Proctor. I told him I wasn’t sure if I’d make it home, due to the weather. He looked at me, dead serious, and asked, “When are you going to start practicing what we teach?” In today’s episode I’m sharing that story and revealing details about it that I’ve never told anyone. You’ll learn:   Why “holding the image” of what you want is so powerful (even while everyone around you is complaining) Why you don’t have to be bound by the ‘rules’ of your circumstances How I found myself at a hotel that was a hell hole—and made a decision, “I’m not staying here. I’m going home.” Why you should never let the facts of an old belief control the decision you make for you want How many people have come up to my team and said, “I’m going to be one of your best students”—and then we never hear from them again (because they don’t have the belief in themselves) There’s a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it No one is ready for a thing, until he BELIEVES he can acquire it   No matter what you want in life, your job is to hold the image of it in your mind—and to actively believe it. Build that image, make the decision, and manifest something new in your life.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_450-2021-A_Look_Back_at_the_Year_That_Was.mp3 Most people were probably expecting 2021 to be way different from 2020. We were hoping things would get back to normal—and instead, they took a turn for the worse. I’ve had many interesting observations throughout this year. I’ve watched what’s been happening in the world, while also helping my clients and students adapt to these changes so they can prosper. Today BT and I reflect on 2021 and how it unfolded.  In this episode we discuss:   The massive changes humanity is facing that we’ve never seen before—and why I believe we’re heading in a dangerous direction  Why we need to let go of “how things were before” and ask different questions, so we can adapt, move forward, and make things even better  than they were before How constant fear is psychologically damaging and messes with people’s minds to no end Some thoughts on my interview with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, two evolutionary biologists (coming in January!) Why people in different countries are responding to totalitarian measures with enormous pushback, taking to the streets in huge protests—yet we’re seeing none of that in the US Why many people are questioning whether to start a family and have children—and how Elon Musk believes human beings could go extinct if we don’t boost the population back up   For decades, we’ve heard that the world is falling apart, the political left is going to kill us, the political right is going to kill us…etc. It’s like the story, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” It’s led many people to bury their head in the sand, but right now, people need to wake up. We’re in a very serious time in history that requires us all to dig a little deeper to learn how to think, to treat each other with love and respect, and to start looking for real solutions for our life. If we keep burying our head in the sand, we’re going to find ourselves in a world we don’t recognize—and one that we’re ill-equipped to handle. Regardless of the change taking place, the good news is, change always brings with it opportunity. There’s opportunity in any environment if you’re willing to put in the work.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 450 – Full Throttle Thursday – 2021: A Look Back on the Year That Was A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century Change always brings with it opportunity.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_449-Movers_Shakers-Ashley_Bernardi.mp3 Ashley Bernardi is an entrepreneur, a mom with three young kids, and the author of Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission to Feel. She runs a PR firm called Nardi Media. Ashley is a trauma survivor who spent the pandemic meditating upon her early traumas from childhood. When she was 11 years old, her father died tragically in front of her. She buried her feelings around this event for years and didn’t even tell her high school friends that he’d died. Ashley says when you bury uncomfortable feelings—instead of feeling them and moving through them—this is a detriment to your health, wellbeing, and livelihood.  In today’s episode you’ll learn:   Why it’s important to feel your feelings—and to know that no matter how uncomfortable they are, feelings are temporary and won’t last forever The F.E.E.L. framework—focus, enter, experience, listen, learn, and love (as taught in Ashley’s book) “Authentic power” means accessing the wisdom you have within you Ashley’s experience with postpartum depression and Lyme disease, which she sees as her greatest gift—because it was the universe telling her, “Your body has no more room to store the trauma and grief you’ve been burying your whole life” Every emotion has a specific breathing pattern There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing  True healing always seems to have a spiritual component to it   “As human beings, we’re all meant to feel,” Ashley says. “By accessing our feelings and giving ourself permission to feel all the feelings, there is so much growth and transformation within.” Authentic Power is a fantastic book that I think should be in everybody’s library. It should be required reading for your own spiritual and psychological health.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 449 – Movers & Shakers w/ Ashley Bernardi AshleyBernardi.com Connect with Ashley across these social platforms: Facebook @NardiMedia Twitter @BookerBernardi LinkedIn More insiprational episodes to direct your spiritual and psycholoical health from The Successful Mind Podcast: Episode 058 – Bury Your Past Alive Episode 372 – I Choose How I Feel Inside Episode 372 – I Choose How I Feel If you enjoy the show, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?

He says there are seven major negative emotions (or states of mind)—fear, jealousy, hatred, revenge, greed, superstition, and anger. I would also add resistance to that list. When you’re in resistance, your subconscious mind is trying to keep you from changing. What’s interesting is, you have a very specific process of going into resistance. You might go into denial, blame, confusion, sadness, depression, or procrastination. Your physical body might be affected in a negative way. Or you might walk away from a situation instead of facing it. We all have a ‘strategy’ for staying in resistance. In today’s episode you’ll learn:   Why we need to pay close attention to which negative emotions (or states of mind) get in our way, prevent us from seeing the truth, and cause us to keep creating things we DON’T want in our life “Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time; one must dominate” When you’re in resistance, you’re not in harmony with the thing you say you want Whatever you’re experiencing, it’s a projection of your own thinking—i.e., your own state of mind (this is why the Bible talks so much about not judging, because the moment you go into judgment, it’s about you, not what you’re seeing) Blame gives away our power and our personal responsibility; it’s also a way of being in control Problems or “conditions” keep showing up in your life because you’re not seeing the truth about something—and if you change how you see the problem, you can remove it from your life To extend a loving thought to anyone or anything, removes the opposition   Hill says, “Only when we cease to recognize a condition, do we cease to attract it. The only way we can cease to recognize things is to change our minds about them.” What are you resisting in yourself that’s causing you to not see the truth?   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 448: Mindset Monday’s – What Am I Resisting?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_447-Full_Throttle_Thursday-Magic_or_Manipulation-The_Santa_Clause_Conundrum.mp3 **SPOILER ALERT: Don’t listen to this episode with your kids in the car!**   Santa Claus has been around for generations. As adults, we think of Christmas as a time for kids to get excited over presents and visits with Santa. We want to make it a magical time for them and tend to go overboard with the gifts, lights, and festivities. Some parents use Santa Claus as a way to keep their kids in line. After all, Santa knows who’s been naughty or nice. If children are good, they’ll get the presents they want. If they’re naughty, they risk receiving coal in their stocking or, in some cultures, being beaten with a stick.  But what about our own Christmas experiences? How have they shaped us as adults? In this episode, BT and I discuss how the Santa Claus mythos could be detrimental to developing a successful mind. You’ll learn:   Whether the intention behind the Santa Claus myth is to encourage focused, good behavior or just to manipulate kids How jolly fat Saint Nicholas was actually propaganda created by a Civil War cartoonist in the 1860s as a way to bring the country together, because people were so divided over the Civil War The difference between magical thinking and the law of cause and effect  How the idea of Santa can get kids to think of success only as an end game (i.e., “If I’m good enough, a fat man will come down a chimney and give me presents”) How the media portrays success only as an end result—it doesn’t show the work, discipline, practice, tough decisions, failures, and mistakes it took to get there How three Christmas characters—Zwarte Piet, Belsnickel, and Krampus—have been used to scare kids into behaving.   In my company, we teach the law of cause and effect, and how diligent work (not luck or wishful thinking) gets you the desired outcome. While we all have good intentions to celebrate Christmas in the same old ways, we must be honest about the long-term effects those traditions have. We should critically reflect on our own experiences that we had as children around Santa. However you choose to celebrate, we wish you all a Merry Christmas!   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 447 – Full Throttle Thursday – Magic or Manipulation: The Santa Claus Conundrum   See how the Law of Cause & Effect can get you the desired outcome by listening to these previously released episodes from The Successful Mind Podcast Episode 354 – The Art of Success Virtual Summit Sneak Peek: The Law of Cause & Effect Episode 320 – What’s Going to be Different This Year?  Episode 230 – Cause & Effect: Being Able to Receive What’s Already Here If you enjoy the show, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?
