Welcome back Freedom Pact family! Very special guest today on the show - As you can see from the title of this podcast we have Dan Schawbel @danschawbel on social media. I’m not sure anybody can look at Dan and not be inspired by what he’s achieved by such a young age. This is a man that Business Insider said that “If there’s anyone who knows about the keys to building a successful career it’s Dan Schawbel.” Some of Dan’s other feats include being on the Forbes & Inc 30 under 30 lists, being a New York Times best selling author, working with companies like IBM, Google, Oracle and 33/500 of the Fortune 500 companies. But for me, the tip of the Iceberg goes much further than that. Dan is a research expert. By numbers he’s interviewed more than 2000 people that were defined as successful people like Warren Buffett, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sheryl Sandberg.. you get the idea. Dan has conducted 48 research studies into the keys to workplace and in doing so has had more than 2000 articles published for publications like Forbes, Fortune, The Harvard Business Review and The world economic forum. In today’s episodes, you’re going to learn about Networking, mindset and also how we can become as Dan describes it “Back to human.” If you guys enjoy the episode, please subscribe and leave a review.

Loretta is the author of major neuroscience books such as Habits of a happy brain & The Science of positivity. Loretta has been featured in major publications like the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Psychology Today and Dr Oz to name a few. This is a wonderful episode with Dr Breuning, which will help you build some sort of control over your mammalian brain. Why should you be interested in this episode? I’ll explain. Essentially we’ve all inherited chemicals. Oxcytocin, Seretonin, endorphin and dopamine are all in continual flux within our brain. This episode will give you an insight into so much practical lessons from Loretta that include what these major chemicals are and how we can use them. We delve into questions like anti-depressants, when they are useful to use and how to use them. This idea that Loretta has called ‘victim goggles’ which I highly recommend listening to and we look at Loretta’s ideas on gratitude, and focusing on the locus of control and we delve into Loretta’s frameworks that is talked about in her works.

''Life is more like Poker than chess.'' - @annieduke What's going on guys? Back once again for a very special episode! We've been speaking to former world series of Poker champion Annie Duke. Annie's story is so fascinating. Originally Annie began her journey flourishing academically. Majoring in english and psychology, before pursuing a doctorate in cognitive linguistics. It all looked set for a nice life in academic circles... But everything changed for Annie, when she got sick and needed to find a way to make some money. This led her to poker. The combination of a cognitive psychology base, Annie's own characteristics and ''luck'' as Annie says, led her to become the 2004 World series of Poker champion. Annie's book is called 'Thinking in bets: Making Smarter Decisions when you don't have all the facts.' And I can testify and say it's a fantastic read.
