The MINDset Game® Podcast

We’ve all heard the expression, “money can’t buy happiness” – yet many people believe that they will only be happy when they’ve obtained certain material things or achieved socially recognized levels of success in their personal and professional lives. What if true happiness wasn’t a byproduct of external factors, but rather something that any of us could choose to cultivate regardless of our circumstances? Rob Dubin is a seasoned adventurer and resilience expert who has spent decades learning from some of the world's most extraordinary people, from top CEOs to world-class athletes and even U.S. presidents, by working one-on-one with them and making documentary films about their lives. Rob has transformed the insights he learned from all of these gamechangers into a powerful blueprint for success, applying it to build million-dollar businesses, set aviation records, and even sail around the world. After surviving a near-death experience while on a skiing trip deep in the Colorado mountains, Rob shifted his focus to researching happiness, visiting over 100 countries to understand the science of human happiness and how happier employees lead to more engaged workplaces that drive lasting success. In Episode 239 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Rob shares the following:  A simple yet powerful way to cultivate a more optimistic, solutions-oriented mindset in your daily life — while still acknowledging the challenges you face Techniques for increasing the two types of happiness that we all need — hedonic and eudaemonic— such as finding your purpose and practicing servant leadership How learning to be truly present in the moment can fuel happiness Why asking better questions is not only a powerful problem-solving technique, but can also lead to greater happiness as it empowers you to let go of baggage that may be weighing you down To learn more about Rob and access a variety of resources, including his TEDx talk, visit https://robdubin.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I.

As we go through life, we all encounter various types of loss – whether it’s a physical loss or the loss of a dream, relationship, or way of life. While it can be easy to become stuck in the grieving process, these situations may also present a powerful opportunity to inspire others and lead more impactfully.  For John Register – our guest in Episode 237 of The Mindset Game® podcast – the devastating experience of losing his leg from an accident while training for the Olympics propelled his journey to becoming an inspirational keynote speaker, consultant, C-suite advisor, and author of the book, “10 Power Stories to Impact Any Leader.” He is also a combat Army veteran and a two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the hurdles. Since his amputation, John has won the Long Jump Silver Medal in Sydney, Australia, has advised three U.S. Secretaries of State, and founded the U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympic Military Sports Program, which has helped tens of thousands of wounded veterans around the world use sports as a tool for rehabilitation. He believes that when our truth outweighs our fear, we will commit to a courageous life. In this week’s episode, John shares the following:  Why it’s important for leaders in particular to acknowledge, accept, and honor the losses they’ve experienced A three-part framework – reckoning, revision, and renewal – for transforming change and adversity into opportunities for growth  Tips for building your resilience capacity, such as taking appropriate breaks for rest, asking for help, and empathizing with others and what they value To explore more inspirational content from John or to join his Elevate Life community of international executives, visit https://johnregister.beehiiv.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I.

What if certain essential aspects of your life – such as your talents and what truly motivates you – were determined before you were even conceived? While the idea may seem far-fetched, a practice called numerology posits that some numbers, including those linked to your name and date of birth, carry vibrations and meanings that can reveal illuminating truths about your life’s path and purpose.  David Shephard – who previously appeared in Episode 58 of The Mindset Game® podcast – is a globally recognized expert in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), as well as Time Line Therapy, hypnosis, Hawaiian Huna, and numerology. Returning as our guest in Episode 235 of the show, David shares: An overview of numerology and what different numbers can reveal about your life’s destiny, your soul drive (or deepest motivations), and your natural talents A simple numerology exercise designed to reveal your natural talent using only your date of birth  How numerology can facilitate a process of self-discovery and awareness – which is particularly crucial to be able to lead others effectively  To access David’s numerology masterclass and many other resources, visit https://hunaandbeyond.com.

Have you ever felt that you had different “parts” within yourself – often with their own competing needs and goals? For instance, one part of you may feel driven to work hard every day, while another prioritizes relaxation; some parts may carry heavy emotions such as shame or fear, while others attempt to bury them with behaviors that are often maladaptive. While the interactions between these parts can sometimes create a sense of inner turmoil, getting to know each of them and striving to foster healing and harmony among them can help you access greater joy and balance in your life.  Ty Cutner is a level-two-trained personal development coach in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a well-known therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. Ty is a contributing author to the best-selling book, “Freeing Self: IFS Beyond the Therapy Room,” as well as one of the leading coaches in the IFS community. He applies the IFS model to his workshops and his practice, which focuses on image coaching and relationship coaching. As our guest in Episode 234 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Ty shares the following:  An overview of our different parts as described by IFS, including managers, firefighters, and exiles, and how they work together in various contexts, with each having a positive intention for you — even if it doesn’t always seem that way Why it’s important to become aware of your parts, as well as the Self — an ever-present, loving energy within each of us that can heal conflicts between the parts Exercises, techniques, and a guided meditation designed to help you get in touch with your parts, soothe any discord between them, and begin interacting with them in a more harmonious, compassionate manner  To learn more about Ty and his programs or to get in touch with him, visit www.tycutner.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, please visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I. 

When it comes to the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic health conditions, we often focus on medications and other common modalities of Western medicine. However, a more effective and lasting approach to optimizing health and longevity often involves a combination of factors—including diet, exercise, and mindset. Using a unique combination of neuropathic and Chinese medicine, Dr. Greg Eckel provides an array of tools to treat acute and chronic illness, emphasizing prevention and wellness principles. He is the co-founder of Nature Cures Clinic in Portland, Oregon and the founder of bVital, a wellness and recharging center, and Energy4Life Centers. Dr. Greg takes a three-prong approach to healing: the goal is to detect the body's energy systems, correct the body's control systems, and protect the body's energy, which is done through bioenergetics, light and sound therapy, and mind-body therapies. In Episode 233 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Greg shares: Why mindset is a crucial yet often-overlooked aspect of healing, as well as specific techniques and modalities to help reverse limiting beliefs and subconscious programs Practical tips related to diet and exercise to help you live a long, strong, and healthy life The latest research in biofield science and the implications it could have for our health and healing Why being able to enter a state of heart coherence and tune in to the body’s intuitive guidance are important for overall wellness To learn more about Dr. Greg Eckel and his programs, visit https://energy4lifecenters.com, or https://brainregen.com for resources specific to brain regeneration.  To learn more about The Mindset Game® podcast, visit www.TheMindsetGame.com.

As humans, we have an immense capacity for love and wisdom, with the power to be a source of light in the world. However, often due to trauma and other challenging experiences, we may develop patterns and create stories that might not be fully true, but end up holding us back from accessing our inner light. Exploring a concept known as the human energy consciousness field may offer insights that can help us transfigure these patterns and achieve mental, emotional, and physical healing. As an expert on the human energy field and the healing sciences, Donna Evans Strauss currently serves on the Board and is the Dean of Year Two Studies at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in Florida and Japan. Donna also created the Brennan Integration Practitioner Program, which is a master's degree, two-year supervisory program specializing in psycho-energetic healing methods.

It’s often said that our thoughts create our reality.

Within teams, organizations, and interpersonal relationships, creating an environment in which everyone feels free to express their ideas and opinions is crucial for achieving optimal results. However, people often hesitate to say what’s really on their minds, particularly if they believe that it may conflict with widely held views or expectations. The key to communicating more skillfully lies in finding your authentic voice, or the one that supports who you need to be in order to best serve a situation.  As the founder of Abella Consulting and Say It Skillfully Inc., Molly Tschang empowers senior management teams to win as one. With expertise in over 80 mergers and acquisitions, she has guided executives through the intricate human dynamics of transformational change and growth.
