Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Place this in your heart and mind and just step.  Always love Ryan 

It is a story of strategy and intelligence. Turning weakness into strengths and taking your opportunity. 

This week I am joined by Clyde Brolin, Formula One journalist and author of Overdrive and In The Zone. Clyde has spent the last decade asking thousands of elite performers about their experiences of being “in the zone”, a heaven on earth state that he first discovered through listening to Ayrton Senna describe his infamous qualifying lap around Monaco in 1988. In this episode you will hear: 04:25 Ayrton Senna Monaco Qualifying 1988 06:40 In the Zone moments 07:55 Heaven on Earth 10:25 Lewis Hamilton is a fascinating case study 13:10 Michael Schumacher at his highest level of focus 15:10 you have to love it if you want to get to the high level otherwise you wouldn’t have the commitment required 18:25 Travis Pastrana’s pursuit of the oh shit I’m going to die moments! 21:40 if you’re going to be in an accident - stand up! 23:40 Romain Grosjean looked death in the face 26:00 the pursuit of the zone 29:25 what’s it’s like when the interviewer gets in the zone 30:40 we are dream machines 31:50 conceive, believe, achieve 34:10 Michael Phelps the master of visualisation 35:30 Felix Baumgartner couldn’t practice his free fall so he had to visualise every aspect of the sky dive 37:10 being the first to do something is really hard! 39:20 teams in the zone and why we should all do the Haka before work 42:45 takeaways from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi the Godfather of Flow I hope this conversation inspires you to show up, do more of what you love and seek to consistently get better every single day.

Imposter syndrome? Hope this helps. 

This is my personal definition of integrity. I hope it helps in someway.  Always love  Ryan 

HOPE Believe. See. Share. 

This is the phrase used by Blue Origin - Jeff Bezo's space exploration company. It means Step by step, ferociously in latin.  Hope this short reflection inspires you to step and to keep on stepping.  Always love Ryan 

This week we have the pleasure of having Jon and Kathryn Gordon talking about their new book Relationship GRIT: A True Story with Lessons to Stay Together, Grow Together and Thrive Together. It was great to have Jon back on the show (he was a guest on Episode 77) and amazing to have his wife of 23 years, Kathryn, join us to talk about their Bestselling book. Relationship GRIT helps people learn what it takes to build strong relationships. The Gordons reveal what brought them together, what kept them together through difficult times, and what continues to sustain their love and passion for one another to this day.
