Ep. 222: How To Take Control Of Your Personal & Business Finances W/ Diana House

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Diana House. Diana is a business finance expert, a serial entrepreneur that has sold 2 e-commerce companies, a private lender, and a real estate investor. She also loves the challenge of becoming SuperHuman through adventures in diet, exercise, mindset, faith, goal setting, and personal development. I know that business finance is not a topic that we often talk about in the show, but I actually had a call with Diana as a coach, and I found her very interesting - in fact, she had such an interesting way of looking at life, the world, personal finance, goal setting, and growth, that I just had to have her on the show. Diana has probably done the most investment in herself and in improving herself out of literally anybody that I know, and you know that I always love to meet those kinds of people and hear what the best things that they've done are, what the best investments they have made are, and what are the best mindset changes they have gone through. So we had a really great episode, we had no shortage of things to talk about, as happens every single time with Diana, and I think you folks are really going to enjoy it. We talk about the best things that she has ever done for herself, we talk about a lot of different ways that you can become financially SuperHuman and change your mindset not just about who you are and what you are worth, but also about money and how you use it in your life to create health, happiness, and success. Enjoy! -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 221: Hal Elrod On Achieving Your Dreams With The Miracle Equation

Greetings, SuperFriends! Welcome to a really special and deeply inspiring episode of the show. Today we are rejoined by one of the most popular guests we've ever had on the show - the amazing and astounding Hal Elrod. You probably know Hal because he is the author of the incredible series of books called The Miracle Morning, which is sold all over the world in many different languages and many different variants. Hal has recently celebrated selling over a million copies of that book, and I personally can tell you it is one of the episodes and books that people most tell me changed their lives over the 220+ episodes we've done on the show. What many people don't know is that, after writing that book, Hal once again faced another near-death experience. He was diagnosed with a very rare and very aggressive form of cancer, which he has managed to, knock on wood, survive and beat against all odds, once again defying death. He has recently published a new book called The Miracle Equation, talking about how he did this, and how he reached this level of tenacity, ambition, faith, and effort in his life. Every time I talk to Hal and hear him speak, either in Genius Network meetings or when hanging out in a group of people, I'm always blown away by his energy, his enthusiasm, his passion, and his wisdom - and this is how I feel about this episode as well! I know you folks are going to get a lot from this episode, as I did too! -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 220: How To Make The Leap Of Your Life And Thrive W/ Tommy Baker

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Tommy Baker. In case you haven't heard of Tommy, he is the host of the Resist Average Academy podcast, and he helps dreamers, visionaries, and entrepreneurs bring their dreams to life —and create a life they just can’t wait to wake up for. He is the author of UnResolution, The 1% Rule, and The Leap Of Your Life, and he helps people live up to their potential through his writing, coaching, podcasting, and many more activities. In this wide-ranging episode, we talk not just about how to resist average and get yourself to the level that you want, but also where most people fall short, where they get stuck, and some of the things that both he and I have experienced in life that have made us pivot, change, grow and develop. We go really deep, we go into biohacking, and although it takes us a little while to get into the conversation itself, I really enjoyed this episode. I learned a lot and I got a few really powerful ideas that I'm going to start implementing tomorrow in my journaling routine and in some of the warm-up rituals that I do every single morning. It's amazing to me that after 220 episodes I am still learning new things from guests like Mr. Tommy Baker. Please enjoy! -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 219: How To Figure Out Your Nutrition In The Modern World W/ Dr. David Friedman

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Dr. David Friedman. Dr. Friedman is a #1 bestselling author, a Doctor of Naturopathy, a Clinical Nutritionist and a Chiropractic Neurologist - in other words, he has a lot of degrees and certifications. He is actually a Board Certified Alternative Medical Practitioner, Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, and a registered Naturopathic Diplomate. Dr. Friedman received a post-doctorate certification from Harvard Medical School, and is a former teacher of neurology - he has even authored a college textbook. He is an expert in all things body, nutrition, and nervous system, and you've probably seen him writing in U.S News & World Report, Newsweek, Readers Digest, Healthy Living, AARP Magazine, and Woman’s Day. He’s also been a guest on over a hundred syndicated radio and television shows. Friedman’s list of clients has included many top celebrities like John Travolta, Jenny McCarthy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Val Kilmer, and Paul Newman. On top of all that, he hosts his own radio show. Amazing, right? So, what did we talk about in this episode? Well, most of the time we talked about the most important thing in health, which is nutrition. But we also learned a lot about chiropractic, both as a philosophy and as a practice. I learned a ton in this episode about different ways to identify healthy foods, about different things that go on in the body when you eat certain foods, and also some really interesting health hacks that I'd never been exposed to. This episode is full of insights that we haven't heard in the show before, so I think you are really going to enjoy this - Dr. Friedman is just full of energy and has a really great personality. -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 218: How Passion Really Works & How To Utilize It W/ Brad Stulberg & Steve Magness

Greetings, SuperFriends! For this week's episode, I got on a call with 2 incredibly smart authors, Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness. They are the co-authors of the new and highly anticipated book The Passion Paradox: A Guide to Going All-In, Finding Success, and Discovering the Benefits of an Unbalanced Life. You folks probably know that I'm passionate about passion - but the truth is, we've never actually had anyone on the show talk about it as a field of study or a field of Becoming SuperHuman. So, I wanted to have these 2 gentlemen on the show - and I learned that this is really an emerging field which is still not so well understood, similar to the way flow states were 20-30 years ago. In the episode, we talked about passion and how it is such an ambiguous, kind of misunderstood area of human experience, and we also set aside some time to really understand where these misconceptions are, how people perceive passion, why passion is important in your life, and most importantly, I think, how you can actually go about getting more passion in your life. In fact, and somewhat unexpectedly, there are ways that you can achieve that and strategies that actually really surprised me. Another thing that surprised me about this episode was what I learned about recovery. We've talked about recovery a lot on this podcast and especially in the Becoming SuperHuman MasterMind where Benjamin Hardy did a whole segment on it. Well, Brad and Steve gave me some really incredible ideas for how I can supercharge my own recovery periods so that I bounce back faster from long working or recording days. I really enjoyed this episode, and I know you are going to as well! -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 217: JJ Virgin On The Things You Must Know About Health & Nutrition

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by a four-time New York Times best-selling author! She is a prominent TV and media personality, who has been featured as a co-host of TLC’s Freaky Eaters, and has spent years as the on-camera nutritionist for Weight Loss Challenges on Dr. Phil, also appearing on places like PBS, Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, Access Hollywood, and the TODAY Show. She is also a successful serial entrepreneur with a number of events, summits, organizations, and an entire line of food and nutrition products with her name on it. I'm talking of course about JJ Virgin. Now, if you haven't heard of JJ, I have to admit that I find that very strange - but, don't worry, we are going to get you caught up to speed on this woman - or rather, this force of nature in the health and wellness industry. In the episode, we're going to learn how she got to where she is, as well as all the health recommendations that have made her one of the top thought leaders in the space. It's an incredible conversation packed with all kinds of insights - I learned a ton - and, as you'll hear, I definitely hit it off with JJ! I'm looking forward to what you all have to say. -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 216: Improving Sleep & Letting Go Of Alcohol W/ James Swanwick

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by James Swanwick. James is a serial entrepreneur, an Australian-American investor, speaker, former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN, host of The James Swanwick Show podcast and the author of The 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge. In fact, Forbes listed James as one of 25 Professional Networking Experts to Watch. But, despite all these, he is probably best known for his company Swannies or Swanwick Sleep, which produces blue blocking glasses. Now, the reason I wanted James on the show is not just because I use his product pretty much every night when I'm broadcasting or doing Facebook lives in front of the screen, but also because he, like me, is an avid bio-hacker, and has all kinds of thoughts on different ways to live and feel better. In the episode, we talk about sleep, we talk about the benefits of letting go of alcohol, and we also cover a lot of different kinds of habits that can make you feel more SuperHuman. I really enjoyed this conversation with James, and I know you will as well. -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 215: What Scaling A Business Really Looks Like W/ Allison Maslan

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Allison Maslan. Allison is a fellow Genius Network member, the CEO of Pinnacle Global Network - the world leader in scaling businesses - and she also is the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller, "Scale or Fail". In addition to that, Allison has built 10 successful companies, starting out at age 19. As if these are not enough, she is an accomplished trapeze artist, and she even has a background in homeopathy, among many other very interesting topics that we get into on the show. You may have seen Allison in Success, Fortune, Inc, Fast Company and Forbes Magazine, or as a featured expert on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, as well as many others. Now, on this episode, I wanted to understand how Allison has maintained such high performance throughout her career. I know we don't normally talk about business topics, but we got into that a little bit, and we also got into self-care. Truth is, I think I got an understanding of what makes her tick, and how she's able to motivate and drive herself to accomplish so much - which, at the end of the day, is what this show is all about. I'm sure you folks are really going to enjoy this episode! -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 214: Chris Bailey On Distractions, Overstimulation, And The Power Of Focus

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are once again joined by probably one of my favorite guests of all time - I know I'm not supposed to pick favorites - and definitely one of the guests that we've had on this show the most. That is, Chris Bailey. Chris is a productivity expert, international bestselling author, and blogger extraordinaire. He is the author of The Productivity Project, which has been published in eleven languages, while his second book that just came out, Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction, was published in seven languages at launch. Chris also writes about productivity at alifeofproductivity.com, and speaks to organizations around the globe on how they can become more productive, without hating the process. You've probably seen him in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York magazine, The Huffington Post, Harvard Business Review, TED, Fortune, Fast Company, and Lifehacker, among others. In today's episode, for the first time, Chris and I talked about more than just productivity - we also talked about distraction, mindset, and how to get into the right state of mind so that you can be healthier, happier, and, of course, more productive. We talked about why he wrote another book on avoiding distraction after Cal Newport wrote Deep Work, which Chris took like a champ. And, as we always do, we joked, we laughed, and we shared our geek out strategies. This episode is honestly jam-packed full of different strategies that you can use to live a better and more productive life, and, if you take away just one or two of them, I have no doubt that you will be a little bit more SuperHuman. -Jonathan Levi

Ep. 213: Nick Sonnenberg On The Magic Of Automation & Outsourcing

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Nick Sonnenberg. Nick is a former binary options software developer and fellow life-hacker, turned into a founder of a company called Leverage. In case you didn't know, Nick is a renowned expert in productivity and life-hacking - and, unsurprisingly, that is largely what Leverage does. They are a company that helps you outsource a lot of tasks to a high-level workforce. In the episode, we didn't talk that much about outsourcing, but we did geek out about our favorite productivity and automation hacks, and all the different things that we have managed to get off of our plate from learning about all these kinds of hacks. As often happens, this is a far-ranging conversation. I really enjoyed talking to Nick, and I know that you will do so, too! -Jonathan Levi
