55. Active Volcano Walker Shares How to Conquer Your Fears | Nik Wallenda
Nik Wallenda, who's part of the legendary Flying Wallendas family, has walked over ropes across some of the craziest places you can imagine, such as the Niagra Falls, Time Square, and most recently, an active volcano in Nicaragua - all without a safety net. He has broken 11 Guiness World Records for various acrobatic feats, and is on his way to break more.
However, his journey has not been easy. Events like 2017, where a horrific accident has led his sister to fall during rehearsals led to breaking nearly every bone on her face. Several members of the Wallenda family have also fell and died, as the stunts happen without any safety net.
In our conversation, Nik shares:
How he's been able to overcome his fears knowing he could die at any moment
The difference between healthy and unhealthy fear (and why NOT feeling fear is dangerous)
What his self-talk sounds like while he's on the tightrope (on top of an active volcano)
How he prepares (or rather over-prepares) for every single event
What Karl Wallenda, his great grand-father (and founder of the Wallenda family) taught them
How he continues to improve himself when he's the #1 in his industry
& more

54. Value of Persistency, Self-Improvement, and Being Yourself|Louis The Child
Louis The Child (Frederic Kennett + Robert Hauldren) is a DJ and production duo, with hot singles such as "Better Not" (100 million streams on Spotify), "It's Strange", "Weekend", and more. They have been praised by the likes of Taylor Swift, Lorde, and their song was used as part of the FIFA 16 soundtrack.
The two of them met in high school at a Madeon concert. Few years later, they were touring and opening for him across the country.
There are so many fascinating parts to their story that I'm excited to share. We talked about:
Their creative process, and how they view differentiation amongst other artists
Skillstacking and the importance of combining your skills to find your competitive advantage
Why the two of them choose to continue learning new skills like piano, writing, and drums instead of delegating it to others
Daily habits and how persistency has played a pivotal role to where they are today
Favorite books that have made the most impact, what they're reading today
Importance of continuous self-improvement and the 10,000 hour rule
Feeling the fear and doing it anyways
& much more
If you're an artist, entrepreneur, or someone that wants to know what type of mindset and daily habits you need to stand out, this is worth the listen.

53. How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome, Be Emotional Resilient, and Use Your Dreams|Dr. Emily Anhalt
Dr. Emily Anhalt is a clinical psychologist with a Ph.D and doctorate degree, TEDx speaker, and Chief Clinical Officer at Coa, a mental fitness community with mental health gyms opening across the country.
Dr. Emily's interest in the psychology of the entrepreneur began with the realization that “how you do anything is how you do everything,” and that the more founders and employees understand about their emotional tendencies, the more successful they and their companies will be. This unique perspective has led to work with some of the fastest growing technology companies and venture capitalist firms around the world.
I got a chance to chat with Dr. Emily about:
What emotional fitness is and how it differs from how we look at mental health today
Dream analysis and what certain dreams may or may not mean
Jung vs. Freud's approach to dream analysis and different schools of thought when it comes to psychology
Why some people are so bad at receiving compliments and the proper way to accept them
Overcoming imposter syndrome and being comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations (we play a game called 'if you really knew me')
Parapsychology - and the power of our minds, and how they connect to our bodies
and more!
Hope you enjoyed this mental ride with Dr. Emily and I.
With love,
Sean

We also dug into human attraction and why we're attracted to certain types of people, attachment theory, how he makes time for self-care and growth, why social contracts like marriage are important, and much more.

46. The New Science on Breathing (boost energy & stop snoring!)|James Nestor
James Nestor is an author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, and journalist for Scientific American, The New York Times, National Public Radio, and more. His freediving experience with some of the best breath holders led him to an exploratory journey to learn about the lost art of breath. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo.
Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. I hope this conversation was as fascinating for you as it was for me.
Book: https://amzn.to/3iwGzeH
Timestamp:
[00:00] Intro
[03:45] How James got into researching the lost art of breath
[08:20] Can we train ourselves to increase lung capacity?
[15:00] Why some of us are OVERbreathing
[24:15] How to stop snoring
[35:00] Why nose breathing produces 6x more Nitric Oxide
[37:55] How the human skull (and mouths) have evolved as human species
[48:00] Strategies and tips to breathe effectively and increase our lung capacity
