Growth Minds with Sean Kim

Adam Carolla is what you'd call the OG of podcasting, starting The Adam Carolla Show back in 2009 before anyone knew what a podcast was.

Before starting his podcast, Adam co-hosted the show Loveline with Dr. Drew (a Growth Minds guest), and The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel. In our conversation, we go over: Why Adam decided to write a book  How he balances his time when doing multiple podcasts, writing books, stand-up comedy, shooting movies, and more Adam's honest opinions on the politically correct culture we live in How you can learn to speak your mind without caring what other people think and more If you enjoyed this conversation, check out my conversations with: Dr. Drew - How to Be More Attractive Scott Adams - The Persuasion Master If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes and a rating on our Spotify show? It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference in helping to convince hard-to-get guests.

Sergey Young is the founder of the Longevity Vision Fund, a $100m fund that invests in companies working on longevity technologies to help people live longer. He's also an innovation board member of XPrize, and the author of The Science and Technology of Growing Young.  His goal? To have a meaningful impact of the lives of 1 billion people to help them live a happy and healthy 100 years. Given how few people are willing to take the leap in the world of longevity in a meaningful way, I was fascinated to learn about the mindset behind Sergey and his story. In our conversation, we went over: Why there is a lack of funding and resources backing technologies and sciences in longevity Mental frameworks that have helped Sergey make better decisions as an investor What holds people back from thinking bigger and taking moonshots in life The importance of having 'blank time slots' to do nothing but think to get some of your best ideas Latest developments in longevity science and technology (and exciting changes to coming in the near future) Questions to ask to help you think 10x bigger (and shift your perspectives) What big thinkers like Tony Robbins, Peter Diamandis, Larry Page (CEO of Google) all have in common & more Pre-order Sergey's book here: https://sergeyyoung.com/ If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes and a rating on our Spotify show? It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference in helping to convince hard-to-get guests.

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 Check out Nik's book 'Facing Fear': https://amzn.to/3dABW2l If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes and a rating on our Spotify show? It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference in helping to convince hard-to-get guests.

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.

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!
