TOUGH TALKS: Conversations on Mental Toughness

Get ready to be mind-blown by this cat. He’s an Ultramarathoner (not just your typical run-of-the-mill normal 26.2 mile marathon runner – he’s an ULTRA one). --- That means he does things like runs 240 miles in 86 hours and change. He runs 50 miles without ever stopping! And he only started running three years ago. Because he was fat. And got tired of it. And he’s 20. Years. Old. --- Ryan Lange is the name of our Tough Talks guest today and he drops Mental Toughness Tips in our dialog like they’re going out of style. --- Here’s a few nuggets: The power of intentionally combining Productivity and Happiness We are ALL average and ALL capable of remarkable things The Distraction Tactic How to embrace what he refers to as “The Suck” Letting Passion be your source of Drive --- Links:  http://www.BushbeckRedOps.com  --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-chuck-bushbeck-coach-speaker-author/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.

Our guest today is a Keynote and TEDx Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Transformational Coach and author of the internationally best-selling book, Fatherhood is Leadership: Your Playbook for Success, Self-Leadership and a Richer Life, Devon Bandison. --- I like to think of Devon as the Queens, NY version of a hybrid of Yoda and Mark Twain. He is a lifelong student of the mind and a masterful storyteller. In our conversation today, he shares with us several powerful and accessible disciplines and practices that we can use day to day to strengthen the way we use our minds, create more joy and be more successful. --- In our discussion we hit on: Changing the world one kind act at a time The practice of mimicking the greats until you come into “your own game” Keeping your cup overflowing so that you can “serve from the saucer” Devon’s “P.O.W.E.R. Hour” morning ritual Mental Toughness is prepackaged software that comes with every one of us If we went to jail for our thoughts, we all be in prison Specific tools to practice strengthening your thoughts --- Devon’s electric personality and acerbic wit combined with his casual, homeboy wisdom will have you both entertained and enriched. --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-devon-bandison-coach-author-international-speaker --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.

In this episode of Tough Talks, we have the great pleasure of visiting with world class golf instructor, CEO and Founder of Make The Turn Performance, Jeff Ritter (with a hilarious surprise visit – albeit almost entirely cut out of view – by his wife, Nutritionist Extraordinaire and Director of Product Development at Laird Superfood, Cate Ritter, oh, and their puppy Penny!). --- Jeff has always used the game of golf as a vehicle through which to teach people of all ages how to LIVE more powerfully. He’s a successful international corporate speaker, TV personality, master story teller, and author of the book, Your Kid Ate a Divot: 18 Life Lessons From The Links. He’s hysterical and insightful. And you don’t need to be a golfer to get a ton of value out of this dialog where we cover: How to become an observer of the content of your mind The meaning and power of his mantra: “Just cause I thought it, doesn’t mean I bought it.” A unique trick using paper clips, of all things, to strengthen your ability to catch yourself thinking crappy. --- So listen in for a laugh and a lesson or two. --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-jeff-ritter-ceo-of-make-the-turn --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.

In this episode of Tough Talks our guest is Regional Vice President of Sales at Cloudera, and big ass dream ranch owner, Vince Temperino. --- Vince loves discipline, not necessarily in the militaristic sense, but certainly in the “Let’s just go ahead and crush it at life” sense. Vince is so fun to listen to because he never lost his childlike enthusiasm and he brings that into everything he experiences in life. Here are a few of the things we cover: How to quiet the “brain noise” (self-doubt) Coaching your mind to behave What you can do tonight to increase the likelihood of success tomorrow Assessing how badly you really want what you say you want The indisputable relationship between physical and mental strength How to re-author the stories that reside in your mind that don’t serve you --- So settle in and have a listen. --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-vince-temperino-regional-vp-of-sales-cloudera/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.

And because of her Mental Toughness, she was able to instantly begin to leverage her “misfortune” into her dream life. --- In our conversation we cover: The biggest reasons why people don’t go for what they know they really want How to not let “your mind run away with your heart” The power of transparency The commitment to perpetual growth and holding yourself to an extremely high standard with the quality of your thinking The totally transformative nature of eliminating complaining --- So join us for an important conversation on how to Decide, Declare and Do What It Takes to leverage your circumstances in order to stop settling for anything less than your life on your terms. --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-amy-slater-of-amy-slater-consulting/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.

DOWNLOAD THE BOOK HERE >>> https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-bill-giruzzi-solving-unsolvable/  Earth Day, April 22nd, 2040 will mark the End of All Human Suffering caused by our current way of life. I have literally been looking forward to this interview for months! I am absolutely fascinated by this man, Bill Giruzzi, who has produced a document – a small book called “Solving the Unsolvable” that I consider to be one of the boldest declarations and brilliantly expansive intellectual gestures I’ve ever come across. I’m sure you will all dig it too.  --- Every day there are seeds being planted. Right now as you read these words someone is having an idea that has the potential to alter the course of humanity. Some might call what I’ve written one of those seeds. I more like to think of it as the soil. For me, the words in this document are designed to create fertile ground; they create a space for the seeds to grow. You may never create a seed but you, like me, can tend to the soil. And so, never forget, we all have a part to play in the transformation of our planet. We all have something to say about what happens next. What do you say? --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-bill-giruzzi-solving-unsolvable/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.
