Last week, I mentioned buffering and how it affects your health. This week, I want to go into what buffering really is, how it prevents us from making progress in our lives, and why it is a total Beta Condition trait. Buffering can be anything we do to keep us from really experiencing reality. I know I’ve done it in my life, and whether it’s pornography, food, alcohol, drugs, even people-pleasing, it’s fair to say this is something everybody on [...]

This is the final part of our series on health and this is the really important part, brother. We’re talking about how you can improve and develop your health so it’s as good as you want it to be. There are a few components to this, so you want to hear this. When it comes to developing optimum health, there are a few things that stand in our way. We have beliefs about who we are, how healthy we should [...]

We’re talking about health again this week, brothers. From last week, we know that health is not measurable in and of itself, rather it is measured by your actions. What you can measure it against, however, is the standards to which you hold yourself to, rather than the standards your Beta condition holds you to, like simply not being so unhealthy that you are sick – that’s not exactly aiming high. Your Alpha expects more from you. All throughout our [...]

I’ve got the first of a three-part series for you guys today all around the subject of health – one of the three pillars of the Alpha state. However, unlike wealth and relationships, health is a different animal, both in the ways we use it and how we measure it. When you think of the word healthy, you think of low body fat, low resting heart rate, big muscles, or maybe the ability to run fast. Well, health is not [...]

We are continuing with our series around future-focused thinking this week with the real crux of the matter – actions! Guys, what I’m sharing with you today might sound a little out there at first, but trust me on this, it is 100% fact, and I’m going to prove it to you right here. Actions are neutral. Straight up, your actions and the actions of those around you are nothing more than neutral circumstances. Any action can be broken down [...]

I’m concluding the topic of Future-Focused thinking this week with probably the most important part: leaving the past-focused thinking behind. We know what future-focused thinking is and how it incorporates confidence, but now it’s time for the meat, the real how-to. If left unsupervised, your Beta condition loves to look into the past, look at everything that has happened to you and believe that it has led you to where you are. It uses the past as an excuse. Well, [...]

Last week on the podcast I laid the foundation for what future-focused thinking is and how it will elevate you into your Alpha state. Well, now it’s time to go a little bit deeper. Like every aspect of my work, confidence plays a huge role in future-focused thinking. A lot of people, they need to see physical tangible evidence for something before they can bring themselves to believe it. While that belief may seem logical, this is your Beta condition [...]

Knowing where you want to go in life is insanely important for developing yourself as you move towards cognitive mastery. The Beta condition lives in the past. We know this. The Beta Male is all caught up in why he is where he is right now and can hypothesize endlessly about what got him there. The Alpha Male, on the other hand, thinks a little differently. This is a big one, guys. What I have for you today is the [...]

There is a common misunderstanding about the difference between therapy and coaching. While both are collaborative processes to work on bettering yourself, they are used for remarkably different purposes. As a coach myself (with three coaches of my own), I know how powerful coaching can be for everybody in all parts of life. Through coaching, you can learn how to move beyond wellness and start to be the person that you have always wanted to be in a way that [...]

What I’ve got for you this week is huge, guys. I mean it. I’m so hyped to talk about this because it affects so many people and it is incredibly misunderstood as a part of life that we just have to deal with. But it’s not – at least not when you have elevated your Alpha state. Being scared of rejection falls into the same category as a fear of failure, approach anxiety, and social anxiety, but I think it’s [...]
