Bas Rutten is retired UFC Heavyweight Champion and three-time King of Pancrase world champion. He's a regular on TV, has also appeared in movies, and even makes a cameo in the Grand Theft Auto video game. It's hard to believe that Bas Rutten, also known as "El Guapo" or The Handsome One, suffered extreme eczema and asthma during his childhood. He was bullied on a regular basis in his native country of Holland. One day when he was on vacation with his family in France, he snuck into the movie theatre to see Enter the Dragon. Bas knew that if he became like Bruce Lee, the bullying would stop. This sparked a passion for martial arts that took him through a glorious career and taught him many life lessons he would pass on to his three daughters. Check out the show notes HERE.

Our thoughts and emotions can tear us down if we don't know how to manage them. When waves of stress repeatedly hit us, our emotions can override our brains and take over our behavior, leading us to perform badly and make poor decisions. We may experience overwhelm or feel like our life is spinning out of control. In this quick episode, I discuss the difference between an emotion and a thought, and how we can use the dynamic between emotions and thoughts to eliminate unnecessary stress, depression, anger, and overwhelm.

Alcohol has affected everyone in some way. We drink to reduce stress, to be more social in social settings, and to reward ourselves after a long, hard day at work. But what if drinking is actually bringing more stress into our lives? What if it's causing us to miss business opportunities and is harming our relationships? You'll discover amazing insights into these questions in today's podcast as I celebrate a whole year without drinking with three special guests: Shane Ramer (That Sober Guy), Ruari Fairbairns (One Year No Beer), and Jason MacKenzie (The Book of Open).
