Shane is the host of the Knowledge Project podcast which is my go-to listen, for a slight tangent - I think Shane is one of the best interviewers around and someone I’ve been learning from myself. Shane has interviewed the likes of Jim Collins, Esther Perel, Daniel Kahneman and some mutual guests like Robert Greene and Annie Duke for the show. The knowledge Project is just one of the notches under Shane’s hugely impressive umberella. Shane is also the founder of Farnam Street, an online learning community that Shane founded whilst working for a leading intelligence agency in Canada that can be found at fs.blog. Farnam Street is dedicated to mastering the best of what other people have already figured out, that now gets over 1 million page views per month. Shane is an absolute learning machine, so much so that I’ve made it one of my life goals to go and see this guys bookshelf with my own eyes, and to emphasise this point, Shane told me that in 2013 he read 153 books in one year. I view Shane as a North star when it comes to Education, and speaking to Shane has made me want to improve even more. When Shane isn’t interviewing leading scholars and notable people, you may find him managing Syrus Partners which is an investment company operating out of North America. Farnam Street also released a book called The Great Mental Models which covers general thinking concepts. Shane & I discuss Volume 1 in today’s episode which is all around general thinking concepts. Now why is this important? As the saying goes, to the man with a hammer - everything looks like a nail. Having a clear and concise understanding of these mental models will greatly improve your decision making. And considering your life is the conclusion of the vast amounts of decisions we make everyday, becoming a better decision maker will ultimately make for a much better life.

Nick’s truly one of, perhaps if not the most inspirational person. And the fact this guy was even a varsity junior wrestler, and finished higher in his bodybuilding show than other abled body competitors is testament to the champion mindset that Nick has, which is something that we discuss today.

This idea of creating fans is an idea in which we brought to the podcast in our episode with Kevin Kelly the CEO of wired. Kevin’s premise is that you can live a very comfortable life if you can make 1000 true fans. When Kevin wrote that essay it went viral, and is very much used as an entrepreneurial benchmark, we will link that article below if you haven’t checked it out. https://kk.org/thetechnium/1000-true-fans/ We know that you guys loved that concept, so we reached out to David because he has done a deep dive into how to build raving fans for your organisation. In an age of business in which everything has become automised, when we’ve lost the art of human connection, creating true fans with your audience is the way out of the matrix. Please enjoy this fantastic and in-depth conversation with the amazing David Meerman Scott.

Welcome back to the Freedom Pact Podcast. The show that will deliver Freedom from limiting beliefs, societal and social conventions. It’s our job to interview the best in the world in business, health and personal growth to give you leverage over yourself and ultimately freedom of circumstance. Kute was born to the miracle man of Ghana in Western Africa, and by the age of 8 his father who is a revered spiritual leader, thrust Kute into the limelight and started delivering weekly congregations in his family church. By the age of 14 Kute was speaking to 100’s of thousands of people through a network of over 300 churches. Despite a path looming as the leader of his father’s religious network, Kute decided that this wasn’t his path and decided to move to Los Angeles in 1995 with next to no money to become the next Opera. In this pursuit of greatness, Kute hunted down the likes of Steven Spielberg and Richard Branson to give him his shot in the limelight, all which we cover in today’s episode. Today, Kute is a best-selling of author of the book ‘you are the one’, an expert into the human potential, and a highly demanded key-note speaker. Kute’s revloutionary program called the Liberation Experience, in which he travels across India one-on-one with a client is the most transformative program I’ve ever heard of. The client is removed of their passport, their money, and their sense of self. Kute begins the trip by asking the client to write their will, and letters in which they don’t come back. Along the way, they will bathe in the Ganges river, visit the poorest slums in the world and encounter enlightened yogi’s along the way amongst many other things. Kute is certainly an expert in the human potential and freeing ourselves from societal conditioning and we couldn't be any more excited to connect.

Today on the show, we are joined by the best-selling author of The Talent Code - Daniel Coyle. The talent Code has been on my bookshelf for years, I put it down as one of the best individual books into high performance I’ve ever read. When I first found out that Daniel Coyle had released another book - this time into high performing teams like Pixar, Navy Seal Team 6, San Antonio Spurs, Zappos and many more, we simply had to get him on the show. Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent, The Secret Race (co-authored with Tyler Hamilton), Hardball: A Season in Projects, and other books.  Winner (with Hamilton) of the 2012 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Prize, he is a contributing editor for Outside Magazine, and works as a special advisor to the Cleveland Indians. In this fascinating conversation, we look at what makes a team a high performing team. And how are the best in the world doing it. Seth Godin described this book as ‘’an urgent read.’’ Links: Danielcoyle.com @danielcoyle - TW Daniel Coyle - FB & LI @freedompact - IG Freedom Pact - YouTube
