The Kevin Miller Podcast

This is a What Drives Your Health episode. Your health comes from what you do and don’t eat, and what exercise you do and don’t do. And good sleep. Basically your lifestyle. Add to that your genetics and we have it pretty much covered, right? But what about your thinking? Not your mental state, but your actual thinking? Can you think yourself healthy? Or unhealthy? I’m with my great friend, Randy James, Medical Doctor and Functional Medicine expert and he and I have been studying this concept for a long time. A book we read cites a study where people worked out their biceps, with dumbbells. But half of the test subjects were tasked with just thinking about growing their bicep. The first group using dumbbells, grew their biceps. They measured bigger. The second group who just thought about it, also, got bigger biceps. Not as much as the actual dumbbell lifters, but take the measuring tape, and sure enough...they got bigger biceps just from thinking about it. Now take that to your health. As you’ll hear in this show, I talk about an injury I have. The only mental input I give it is...negative. I think about the pain and the lack. According to this study I could be helping heal it with my thoughts, but currently I’m making it worse. Let’s talk about how to use some thinking exercises to increase our health.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

I bring you a special What Drives You episode with renowned author of “The Millennial Whisperer”, Chris Tuff. Chris was one of the first advertisers to work directly with Mark Zuckerberg in 2006 and filmed one of the first ever, “viral” videos, which landed him on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Tuff’s natural ability to connect with his nearly 80% millennial and Gen Z workforce led him to publish the national bestselling The Millennial Whisperer in 2019. A global movement soon followed, as the Atlanta resident shared lessons on empathy and genuine connection at work on some of the largest stages in the world including such Fortune 100 companies as Nike. I of course wanted to dig into Chris’s personal drives, and you’ll be interested to hear that his initial drive was simply to…beat his older brothers. In anything and everything. While that may not sound dramatic, the thread you’ll keep hearing in these shows is how often seemingly innocuous events in our youth direct the trajectory of our lives and we don’t even realize it. Chris went on to find himself just 7 years ago, burned out. A wife, two kids, great success in work, and totally spent. He took a month-long sabbatical and reinvented his life. In this episode you’ll hear how his story unfolded, and through it I believe you’ll find aspects that reveal similar issues in your life, that you can reinvent.

In this episode, I bring you a special What Drives You episode with Maya Shankar. Maya is a cognitive scientist and the creator, host, and executive producer of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, made in collaboration with Malcolm Gladwell's production company, Pushkin Industries. A Slight Change of Plans was named the Apple Podcast of the Year in 2021. Maya actually founded the Behavioral Science Team at the White House, called “the Nudge Unit, which used insights from behavioral economics to write better public policy. Maya’s focus is around what happens to and in us, when change happens. Change we’ve pursued, and change that has fallen upon us. As you’re about to hear, there are often great and terrible consequences. Like the girl who lost 100 lbs and realized she was no longer who she was, and who she liked, and she was disappointed at people’s new behavior to her just because she lost weight. And the health nut who got cancer and from it realized if he’d understood what dealing with cancer did for his mindset, he wouldn’t have feared it so much. Join me as I have a very candid discussion with Maya on the ins and outs of what happens to us when change...happens. And find her new podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, wherever you get your podcasts.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

In this episode, What Drives Your New Year. You can get a fresh start any time. Any day. But I do appreciate the magic of January 1. Party because I enjoy the indulgences and challenges of the holiday season. I usually come to the New Year with lots of joy and memories, and a bit strung out from all the busyness, socializing, and celebrating, and I'm ready for a reboot. The most popular concepts people turn to are New Years Resolutions and Goals. Which are fine terminologies, though for some people, goals especially are not motivating. I'm going to give you some concepts that may resonate with you more, and regardless I want to share how to fuel your drive toward new things and avoid what most commonly derails people.Go to Zocdoc.com/KEVIN and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

Matthew Del Negro is a celebrated actor credited for roles in some of TV's most-renowned and award-winning shows such as SOPRANOS, SCANDAL, Goliath & WEST WING, and films HOT PURSUIT and WIND RIVER. He appears in all three seasons of Showtime's City on a Hill opposite Kevin Bacon as Detective Caysen. In this episode with me he referenced talking with Kevin Bacon on set the day before, and I was admittedly honored he chose to spend time with me, a little bit lesser known Kevin. I had him on the show of course to talk about what drives him. Matt said being a professional actor is a career of being told no for a living, and three years ago he decided to give voice to this journey of overcoming rejection by starting a podcast called 10,000 NOs. From the success of that podcast he was offered a book deal and his book is also titled, 10,000 NOs. That’s why he’s here. I was intrigued by his personal story of starting out as the peacekeeper in his family, being shattered by a breakup with his girlfriend and finally finding himself and taking up acting later in life. What were his motives? What drove him, good and bad? As you’ll hear, we really resonated as we got to the heart of...motives and drive. You can find Matt's book 10,000 NOs on Amazon and find him on any podcast player at 10,000 NOs and you can see him in City on a Hill, on Showtime.

I bring you Silicon Valley legend and all around wise guy, Guy Kawasaki. I’ve read Guys books, had him on my shows twice before, hung out with him face to face in San Diego and I think our relationship was solidified after he butt dialed my cell phone one afternoon and we talked a while about him starting a podcast, which he did...called Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People which has now become a top ranked podcast. Guy was the original Chief Evangelist of Apple and has many stories about him with Steve Jobs and the early foundations of Apple. Today he’s an evangelist for Canva and Mercedes but much more than that just a big influence and all around fun guy. I brought back to talk about his early and current drives, both personally and professionally. Honestly, this is just a fun romp through Guy admitting he never had huge visions, but he did have clear motives and he went forth and accomplished them. As you'll hear some of his early motives included simply avoiding robbery and getting a nice car. This will be a good showcase that you don’t need giant killing, uber altruistic goals to get you driven and achieving great things. You just need clear goals you have faith in. You can connect with Guy Kawasaki...everywhere, he’s a social media giant. His website is guykawasaki.com and I really encourage you to check out his podcast, Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People.You can watch this full episode on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

Everything in our lives is speeding up. Technology and artificial intelligence and deliveries and...boom. We can fill every second with something new and interesting and the marketplace is focused on delivering us instantaneous gratification in any way possible. Compared to our grandparents and especially great-grandparents, the speed and convenience of life and survival is supersonic. We can do in one hour, maybe even 20 minutes, what it took them all day to achieve. So how is it working for us? Are we awash in free time and leisure? Are we happier and healthier and more at peace than ever? Exuding so much joy as a result of all the privilege we have? You know the answer. We as a culture are sicker, sadder, and more anxious than ever. But the speed and convenience is not bad, only our management of it. I can have a burger for a dollar in a minute at a drive-through, or have one that costs $10 and an hour over my grill. Which will serve me better? Dr Randy James and I talk through this issue, not with certainty, but with grappling.You can watch this full episode on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.
