My son saved my daughter from going in the nettle bushes but ended up going in himself. So often we have leaders who not only let us fall in the nettles, but they throw us there in order to save themselves. I'd like to see more leaders willing to serve and sacrifice a little to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their people. Would you like to see and experience this too? Maybe you already are... be sure to thank your leader for their heart. If you aren't, then it's your time. Email me at podcast@abty.co.uk and i'd love to be a source of encouragement for you. 

Ever find yourself wanting the research or the evidence before you do something? Please don't forget that YOU are the most important data point. As a human, try things and reflect back on them to see if they left you better or worse. Do more of what helps, less of what hinders and that's how you become better than yesterday as opposed to being more average than yesterday. You are not average. There is no average human. So focus on being the best version of you. 

Dive into the intriguing concept of the null hypothesis and its power in our daily choices. The speaker emphasizes the importance of pausing before acting, advising listeners to question their assumptions. Not every situation demands immediate action; sometimes, inaction can be a valid response. By broadening your perspective, you can make more thoughtful decisions and avoid rash judgments. It's a refreshing take on decision-making, urging you to reflect before you react.

There's a lot of focus on flow states at the moment. I don't believe you can separate flow from mastery, pressure and meaning. Clyde Brolin once reported that F1 drivers such as Schumacher and Hamilton would drop 10% if they were intellectually thinking about their braking spots and when to turn in. What's the 10% you're losing by being in your mind too much? Create more flow states by surrendering intellectual control and embodying your mastery. 

On episode 185 I am joined by Dr. John Gray. John is the author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. USA Today listed his book as one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter century. In hardcover, it was the #1 bestselling book of the 1990s. Dr. Gray’s books are translated into approximately 45 languages in more than 100 countries and continues to be a bestseller. John helps men and women better understand and respect their differences in both personal and professional relationships. His approach combines specific communication techniques with healthy, nutritional choices that create the brain and body chemistry for lasting health, happiness and romance. In this episode you will hear:  01:30 The more aware you are of your feelings, the more you take things personally 03:00 hormonally its an addiction 08:00 advice for Fathers without a male role model 12:30 men don’t have to talk about their feelings 14:00 creating safety for women 21:00 role mate to soul mate 23:50 don’t believe in gender reassignment 25:30 our brain is still being developed at the age of 28 26:30 same sex arousal, pornography and the impact of masturbation 31:45 multi-orgasmic man 33:30 soul mate and emotional fulfilment 35:30 John’s Heartprint 37:45 John’s daughter Lauren continuing the Mars Venus legacy I hope this interview inspires your heart-centred leadership and relationships.

Can you love these three versions of you? Past version of you for getting you here Current version of you for all that you are and the  Future version of you that is worth showing up for in this very moment 

Everything in your life is your responsibility, once you realise everythign in your life is your responsibility - Dr. Bruce Lipton  Why? Because it regains the power for you to be able to respond rather than react.  Your chimp response becomes replaced by your chosen response.  This is self leadership. 

Do you have a hierarchy of emotions? My encouragement to you is to judge your emotions less, be more curious and to feel it all.  Send your questions to podcast@abty.co.uk Always love  Ryan 

I attended the Health Optimisation Summit with world leading speakers. Here is part two of my key takeaways from the summit.
