The Kevin Miller Podcast

Take every self-help resource. Every therapy session. Every spiritual resource. From them all we are striving to program, or reprogram, our brains. In order to get us driving further and faster with less effort. Less anxiety. Less complexity. Less limits. Saying life is a mind game can be incredibly depressing, or empowering. My goal in this short message is to empower you. And me. I need this reminder every day. We all live in our own, personal matrix. We really do. Understanding, embracing, and accepting this can be life altering. My inspiration is Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp who I just had on the show. His new book, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action, is a great showcase in how life is a mind game and how we can intentionally get ourselves LIT for success.

Most of us think we are driving through our lives with automatic shifting, like almost all cars nowadays. But in truth, our life is a stick shift and we must manually shift gears. And most of us habitually live in first to third gear. We go about living in our minds with a lot of limitations, blind spots, and ignorance. So I bring you, Jeff Karp. Jeff started life with some big struggles. Amidst some undiagnosed issues, he did so poorly in school they wanted to hold him back in second grade. Teachers literally put blinders on him and embarrassed him in front of class for not paying attention. He was labeled a troublemaker. But at age eight a teacher asked him about how he was thinking, and it opened up such a new world for Jeff that he cites it as his first spiritual experience. He went on to adjust how he learned and today is a member of the National Academy of Inventors. He is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT and a Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. Karp has dedicated his research laboratory to bioinspired medical problem solving, which he explains at the top of the show as studying phenomena in nature and replicating them through science. His lab’s technologies include a nasal spray to neutralize pathogens, a tissue glue that can seal holes inside a beating heart, targeted therapy for osteoarthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, needles that automatically stop when they reach their target, and more. His new book however is focused on you and your brain and the vast, untapped potential he says you can ignite with some tools. And you can upshift in your life. Drive further and faster with less effort. The book is called LIT, which stands for Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature’s Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action. Some would call it brain hacks but it’s not. It’s just brain ability we generally are unaware of. So join me in a conversation to learn more about how you can utilize some tools to get your brain…LIT.You can learn more at Dr. Karp's website here: www.jeffkarp.com.

Our bodies drive everything we do, so in an effort to get them in the best shape possible, in this episode we are talking about meat. Eating meat or not is one issue, but if you choose to, are they all equal? Absolutely not. Again, we’re talking about food, the items we ingest every day that are intended to build, repair, heal, and help us flourish. So if the next meal has meat, does it contain the natural ingredients it was intended to? Ingredients that give us life? Or is it made up of synthetic hormones, antibiotics, waste products, and an overall soup of refuse and pharmaceuticals? It matters, hugely. The type of meat to a degree, but moreso, the lifestyle of the animal it came from. Medical doctor and Function Medicine expert Randy James and I walk through meat to help you understand what will best support your drive. Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/kevinUse promo code KEVIN today at shipstation.com to sign up for your FREE 60-day trial.Visit Audible.com/whatdrivesyou or text whatdrivesyou to 500-500.Go to HelloFresh.com/drivefree and use code drivefree for FREE breakfast for life!Go to Seed.com/DRIVE and use code DRIVE to get 25% off your first month Visit BetterHelp.com/WHATDRIVESYOU today to get 10% off your first month.Available Nationally, look for a bottle of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond at your local store.

I met with a group of guys this morning to talk about being present. It's actually a group of Colorado guys from Denver and Colorado Springs who adventure together. We mountain bike, run, hike, raft, paddle board, camp, ski and basically revel in the outdoors. But we also journey to go deep. The guy who founded the group talks about Outer Terrain and Inner Terrain. The concept of "being present" is in vogue today, but I find two problems present - One, it doesn't sell well, being present doesn't sound valuable and fun at face value, and two, most people think it just means not daydreaming or being on your phone and paying attention to the environment around you. So what is valuable about being present and is it more than just paying attention to your surroundings?

We are generally driven to do the right thing in our lives. We practice personal hygiene, we get the kids off to school, we work and pay the bills, we pay our taxes and we attend social functions and are generally nice and serving to people. But why is it so hard to do the right things for our health and wellness? I just had a long conversation with Dr Tom O’Bryan in the previous episode where he basically showcased that today’s chronic illness and disease is primarily of our own doing. Primarily, not all. I’d rather hear this news than hear it’s all being done to me. If my ill health is mostly my own doing, then I have control over getting healthier, which is great! But the question I pose today is, why is it so hard? Why does our drive seem so hard when it comes to being well? Let me get the cards on the table for you to try and make it more understandable and easier to grasp, and therefore, change.Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/kevinUse promo code KEVIN today at shipstation.com to sign up for your FREE 60-day trial.Visit Audible.com/whatdrivesyou or text whatdrivesyou to 500-500.Go to HelloFresh.com/drivefree and use code drivefree for FREE breakfast for life!Go to Seed.com/DRIVE and use code DRIVE to get 25% off your first month Visit BetterHelp.com/WHATDRIVESYOU today to get 10% off your first month.Available Nationally, look for a bottle of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond at your local store.

It will surprise you for me to say, it depends. We all have something we want and the clarity of what we want and why is what makes up our drive. The cultural and high achiever perspective is to but super disciplined, give everything up for the sake of the end goal, delay all gratification for the sake of the prize and never, ever, ever quit! Well, we all know of people who did this and never found any joy.

We've been talking about belonging and how true belonging is not merely "fitting in." Thanks to Ritu Bhasin, author of We've Got This, for bringing us to the concept. For all of you who are people pleasers...who don't like conflict, the idea of being authentic can feel scary and feel like to be natural we've got to offend people. I just can't embrace this but I'm learning how to better navigate being authentic, while not being confrontational. Walk with me a minute and I think I can bring you some understanding and comfort that will let you be you, while also being more true to yourself and at peace with others.

In my previous episode with Ritu Bhasin, author of We Got This, we dove deep into the concept of belonging and she wisely stated we must first begin by belonging to ourselves. Few of us were ever taught anything about our relationship with ourselves and to many, like me, the very concept is obtuse and awkward. It's taken me a long time to recognize that some people are just...good with themselves. They are comfortable in their own skin. And I want that. I want peace. I'm tired of the anxiety of never measuring up to myself. And you can’t measure up when you think of yourself as merely a tool to get things done. Which many of you do as well. Let’s get the issue on the table so we can course correct.Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/kevinUse promo code KEVIN today at shipstation.com to sign up for your FREE 60-day trial.Visit Audible.com/whatdrivesyou or text whatdrivesyou to 500-500.Go to HelloFresh.com/drivefree and use code drivefree for FREE breakfast for life!Go to Seed.com/DRIVE and use code DRIVE to get 25% off your first month Visit BetterHelp.com/WHATDRIVESYOU today to get 10% off your first month.Available Nationally, look for a bottle of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond at your local store.
