Success for the Athletic-Minded Man

#370 Implicit Bias: How Our Brain Unconsciously Leads Us Astray and What To Do About It -------- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY   In the Reveal Your Path coaching program, there’s a concept we call the “Environment of Excellence.” These are the people, messages, and mindsets that influence us— the very same factors that shape our “Implicit Biases.”  So much of what we talk about here on Success Through Failure is about mindset— unlocking the power of our mind, revealing limiting beliefs, and the unconscious wiring that often controls us and our actions.   Oftentimes we fail because we tell ourselves a story that we're not good enough, or not smart enough, or not capable enough— or maybe others tell us that story… Maybe it's through their body language, their facial expressions, how they talk to us, or maybe even what we see in the media.  This is all part of the messaging that we receive from our environment that shapes our unconscious beliefs about ourselves and others. Social Psychologist and Morehouse College professor, Dr. Bryant Marks, joins us in this episode to reveal the hidden secrets that are stored inside of our minds: about who we are, who others are, and the resulting unconscious actions that we take without even knowing it. I want you to listen to this interview with the goal of better understanding your unconscious, automatic mind, and the actions you take that affect both you and others that influence our society today.

Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY If there's a "cheat code" that can help you create success at anything, how would you maximize it? It’s NOT an antidote to failing— because failure is a step on the path to success— but using this cheat code will bring change that will lead you to your success.   I had an intriguing conversation with a client recently… In the past few years, he went from a guy who didn't really work out much to working out regularly. He even took on the challenge of doing the Murph workout, which he successfully completed. A year later, he committed to doing the Murph again, but due to work and other commitments, he trained less yet, surprisingly, he completed the Murph even faster! How is that possible?! In this episode, we’re going to talk about the “cheat code” that my client used and how you can implement the same concept to transform your life and performance in any area: your career, fitness, or otherwise.  After listening to this, 1) you’d be more willing to do the thing you fear because of fear of failure and 2) you’d be more resilient in the face of failure.

It was his guidance and leadership that led the team to unprecedented heights by winning the 2015 NCAA National Championship, among many milestones. He also had a decorated wrestling career as a 2x NCAA All-American, taking second in the 1991 NCAA Tourney and third in 1992 for the University of Iowa. Tom embraced “chosen suffering” to become elite in what he does. This became the inspiration for his book, "Chosen Suffering: Becoming Elite In Life And Leadership."  It wasn’t until he and his wife, Lynette, suffered the sudden death of their five-year-old son, Teague, that they encountered “unchosen suffering” in a way they never wished. In this fire, they found their faith and a process to push through the pain.  Tom joins us in this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast to share his passion for transforming ordinary lives into elite champions through his stories of unbelievable courage, strength, love, and faith.

He reaches school children, university students, and professional athletes with the same enthusiasm, portraying the human spirit that comes from his personal experiences of adversity and triumph.

Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY After 5 days of doing manual labor in sweltering 95-degree heat in West Virginia, summer would never be the same for my two sons and me…  I always tell my kids, “You get tough by doing tough things.” So I thought, “what better way to start their summer break than to give my two oldest kids their much-needed coming-of-age experience!” Instead of our usual fun summer getaway adventures, my sons— Jesse (16) and Wyatt (14)— and I went on a mission trip that changed the way we view the world. This year, my boys and I signed up for a mission trip organized by the Appalachia Service Project— a “Christian ministry that inspires hope and service through volunteer home repair and replacement.” During the seven-day mission trip, we spent our nights sleeping in a gymnasium with 70 strangers, while our days were spent sweating through our jeans from the non-stop digging and hammering and building.  The experience changed us, to say the least. Not because of the hard work. I’ve worked plenty of construction jobs. But because of the emotional conflict that I walked away with. In this episode, allow me to take you back to our trip to Kanawha County and experience what it’s like to make a dent in the world— one family at a time.  If you don’t have time to listen to the entire episode or if you hear something that you like but don’t have time to write it down, be sure to grab your free copy of the Action Plan from this episode— as well as get access to action plans from EVERY episode— at http://www.JimHarshawJr.com/Action.
