Are you sick and tired of being stuck and desperately wanting a jumpstart, a turnaround in life but are unaware of how to do it? Have you ever heard of the concept of compounding?  Compounding is defined in Investopedia.com as interest over interest, the effect of which is to magnify returns to interest over time.

“With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.” - Dalai Lama   Self-confidence is an immensely powerful word or feeling. Having a fair amount of confidence can lead one to a very promising future, but a lack of it can make one’s life miserable and full of regrets.

“Big ideas come from forward-thinking people who challenge the norm, think outside the box, and invent the world they see inside rather than submitting to the limitations of current dilemmas.”  - T.D. Jakes  In this podcast, we discuss being an Outlier. An Outlier is a person or thing situated away from or detached from the main body or system. It’s a person or thing differing from all other members of a particular group or set. What is an outlier? Is it good to be one? What would the world be like if there was no one willing to get out of the norm and persevere to be different? Should you be an outlier? Do you have the courage to be different? How great would you be if you decided to pursue that few or even that for which no one else was striving?  These are questions that I would like you to ponder as you listen to this podcast. Being an outlier, being someone different, or doing something that others have given up on is no mean feat, but your achievement can be the answer to what most people have been sear

“Each of us is unique and endowed with potential unlike those of others. Success comes in finding your authentic self, the person you truly are, and becoming that person, tapping all that untapped potential.” - George Sheehan Are you aware of who you truly are and the greatness that you have within you? Are you able to be the real unique you or would you rather be just like everybody? Why would you want to be the same as everyone? Is it not more pleasing to be the only you? This episode tackles the answers to these significant questions and understanding them can lead you to a better and happier life. Let me guide you to unleashing your unique potential and be the one and only you.

“The quality of our lives depends not on whether we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them” - Thomas Crum Today I will be speaking to a man whose compelling life story has left me speechless. He has been through life-threatening circumstances but still managed to become the amazing positive person he is today.  My guest Paul Nadeau is a Canadian former hostage negotiator, peacekeeper, author, screenwriter, motivational, and keynote speaker. He grew up in a violent home. Teachers and students looked down upon him but he was able to turn things around and was even able to publish a bestseller entitled Hostage to Myself.  Take a moment and let Paul’s thoughts and ideals inspire you.

Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.” - Moshe Feldenkrais In this episode I will be speaking to someone whom you would not believe has gone through major tribulations in life and survived.

“Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat.” - Steve Jobs I have been speaking a lot about the importance of knowing who you want to be and having a relationship with your future self, and you might think and say, “Well Pete, you’ve been rambling on and on about this and it is so difficult to do given my situation. I don’t think it’s feasible.” Well today, I will be giving you concrete proof that having that relationship is achievable and that it can lead you to leaps and bounds in your life.

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King Jr I’m not riding on Will Smith’s trending issue, but rather, his apology speech made me stop and ponder on who I am and where I want to be in life, and how I can better myself. To quote, “My actions were not indicative of the man that I want to be. I am a work in progress. There’s no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” There are several lessons that can be acquired from what has happened to Will Smith.

In this episode, listen as Nir Eyal and I discuss how to become indistractable and how this can help you realise who you want to become–your future self. Highlights:  ✅ There is so much comfort in blaming the thing that is distracting you, if you don’t know the root cause of the distraction.   ✅ The brain doesn’t do what feels good, the brain does what felt good. It creates a memory or association of what felt good in the past so that we desire it again in the future.  ✅ Successful people lean on discomfort and use it to move forward, to be better.

So, how do you define happiness? I mean, I was simply really inquisitive and asked that question. I think asking them the question, "What is happiness?" is an interesting thing to do. How many debates do you believe there have been? Who coined the term "happiness"? Because, at the end of the day, it's only a word, and what does it really mean? It's possible that what it means to you is very different from what it means to someone else. I just believe that happiness is something that many of us hope to achieve in the future. I believe we all know it deep down. It was a good time. What's fascinating about happiness is that if you type in the word happy, you'll get a lot of different results.
