George Mumford is a psychologist, elite performance expert, and author of The Mindful Athlete.  He has worked with worldclass athletes including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal. He has also consulted with college and Olympic athletes, corporate executives, and inmates, and is a sought-after public speaker at both business and athletic conferences nationally and internationally.  His latest booked is title: Unlocked: Embrace your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success.    Some interesting insights from this episode: ·       Unlocked is releasing the masterpiece within.  It’s embracing your inner greatness. ·       Being authentic is a core part of being unlocked. “We remove the extraneous, the layering of our conditioning and defenses, and the ways that we have been untrue to who we really are until we find what is authentic within us - an authenticity that is always there, waiting to be revealed.” ·       Kobe Bryant once said of George Mumford: “George helped me to be neither distracted or focused, rigid or flexible, passive or aggressive. I learned to just be.” ·       George’s big break was coming on the heels of the Lakers’ third NBA championship in a row when coach Phil Jackson asked George to help the team deal with the stress and pressure brought on by their success. ·       90% of long term happiness is dependent upon how the brain interprets our experience. ·       One of the distinguishing characteristics of the best athletes in the world is they’re very coachable.  They are lifelong learners, always looking to get an edge.  ·       If you want to be in flow, you have to have a fully integrated self. Your body, your mind, your heart, and your soul have to be in unison and harmony.   Notes: <a href= "https://georgemumford.com/">George Mumford website</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Unlocked-Embrace-Greatness-Discover-Success/dp/0063210096/ref=sr_1_1?crid=37SQIS0HEN7JI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.03C6Uk83fcq-5dS24bR08B-7EHwk26K3GDcUAMbL1DntlbKTeUg8SesM9lvldOVdSUZU-DK8D8wqxN4Nov59TrmRBWm6dr-KaP1W3CEAlIM.B7QghhyUmGiZdPiBmSHc9YaF5h_OlRdOhhSFwAjiboU&dib_tag=se&keywords=george+mumford+unlocked&qid=1710694446&s=books&sprefix=george+mumford+%2Cstripbooks%2C103&sr=1-1"> Book: Unlocked: Embrace Your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Mindful-Athlete-Secrets-Pure-Performance/dp/1941529259/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3BET2X7CG5EHA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yAkTv2k8zCwLZhVLoppzx2vgMLAXdXOOI55_ODqxI1fr-BvEBTbomlgQLLJ4Ex9iNlnVR7BI7EyL8nLqwXqCVckw_lzWhsG35gZzJizmzAo5Ow05IXLIddOtoehYyxw-6Y54FKmSr5Wj2FTJ29OZiJ6drIBg7LeQ97iDwPvZWG-RlDwABTDz-tO3KOaVLaniAvgzHi3lLgruNJFlH-7ZARcdv4_CKNuKa6V3HTJPn6Q.1M2JGuD3rh8UwWUHR5a3GVoJi9zNPW_v0JURbRaJtNo&dib_tag=se&keywords=george+mumford+books&qid=1710694541&s=books&sprefix=george+mumford+books%2Cstripbooks%2C91&sr=1-1"> Book: The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance</a>

George Mumford: Psychologist, elite performance coach, and mindfulness guru

Dr. BJ Miller is a longtime hospice and palliative medicine physician and educator. He currently sees patients and families via telehealth through Mettle Health, a company he co-founded with the aim to provide personalized, holistic consultations for any patient or caregiver who needs help navigating the practical, emotional and existential issues that come with serious illness and disability. Led by his own experiences as a patient, BJ advocates for the roles of our senses, community and presence in designing a better ending. His interests are in working across disciplines to affect broad-based culture change, cultivating a civic model for aging and dying and furthering the message that suffering, illness, and dying are fundamental and intrinsic aspects of life. His career has been dedicated to moving healthcare towards a human centered approach, on a policy as well as a personal level.   Some interesting insights from this episode: ·         “I had a basic hunger and curiosity to understand the world in which I was living and to understand myself”.  ·         Early on, as he was recovering from the accident with three less limbs, he forced himself to reframe his situation. That life wasn’t going to be extra difficult going forward but just uniquely difficult.  And that suffering is something we all deal with in our own way.  Eventually his emotions would catch up with his mind whereby he truly felt that way. ·         Studying art history in college taught him perspective.  It taught him how he was in control as to how he perceived his life and how he framed his life experience.  ·         In palliative care, you don’t just treat the pain, you treat the suffering.  ·         “If you don’t know the depths of sorrow, you aren’t going to know the peaks of joy.” ·         As dying patients reflect back upon their lives, it’s not so much regret over what decisions they made but how they imbued whatever decisions they made.  Did they do it with love, did they infuse their spirit into whatever they were doing. That’s what matters most.   Notes: <a href= "https://www.thecenterfordyingandliving.org/about-bj-miller">The Center for Dying and Living</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Guide-End-Practical-Advice/dp/1501157213/ref=sr_1_1?crid=17RFKLGAYQKA2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fxtKYAHMXDjg7_gFQq2Euk9KDeKlvm7sH89QuRSDbiLmixINTPfSAMkNeN3OB7hJbusTRe9awEzWbhMAQ4hsE8rfNWCvDbfq7jKQ2qt9sMkKycuehYPj9sLvII5LScWL0Rv7zgN-Vc8_o_UMrlng8QTNqLtoSmsAW0_igod077o.X9-i2G-fzQUYGrizQMFNdHsOrZmPq3q3NZoi5dn5cqk&dib_tag=se&keywords=bj+miller+a+beginner%27s+guide+to+the+end&qid=1710101218&sprefix=bj+miller+%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1"> Book: A Beginner's Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death</a> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apbSsILLh28">TED Talk: What Really Matters at the End of Life</a>

Led by his own experiences as a patient, BJ advocates for the roles of our senses, community and presence in designing a better ending. His interests are in working across disciplines to affect broad-based culture change, cultivating a civic model for aging and dying and furthering the message that suffering, illness, and dying are fundamental and intrinsic aspects of life.

Her latest book it titled: Burn Book: A Tech Love Story.   Some interesting insights from this episode: ·       Her father’s passing when she was just five made her appreciate the ephemeral nature of life and focus on what truly matters. ·       A lot of big tech titans have a big deficit in their upbringing and replace it with enablers and fence themselves off from the population, hence their isolation and loneliness.  ·       With her direct no nonsense approach, she has an uncanny ability to get big people to open up and share unique insights.  ·       She has been as entrepreneurial and innovative with her career as the tech entrepreneurs she covers for a living.  ·       She feels Steve Jobs is the most consequential figure of the modern tech era. ·       She has called Mark Zuckerberg one of the most carelessly dangerous men in the history of technology. ·       “Excellence is doing your very best to get to the heart of something, doing your very best to create something fresh and new, and doing your very best to get it right.”   Notes: Book: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Burn-Book-Tech-Love-Story/dp/1982163895/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1E3O9B1BHNDUT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yMcTNWzfcgzIpcairGtmwQvoXEiP2aEl7obQeuNqJ1d7KhOIXvX8uEwdqQKMOT6dxqG1i9IOR2NyTdeoAtqcjsDr1-_-EqsDmN0Nj6omPnlABg7z_E6Tw2oJ3L7guO_HaJVju_SVlr0ad11_rHRsPs52dQMZujSOW5CWydhBVp84AT87IiIDMxAYe5F0JPUnjS2PMTKHj5leT6Yeqyd_A8mnSNnNaqKqO5aoJ2DMBUA.rD-eSm-f62b_Xu3Hj9axK24JKZTdjjC0NpsdtyzNwyg&dib_tag=se&keywords=kara+swisher+burn+book&qid=1708302971&sprefix=kara+swisher%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1"> Burn Book: A Tech Love Story</a> Podcasts: <a href= "https://podcasts.voxmedia.com/show/pivot">Pivot</a>   <a href= "https://podcasts.voxmedia.com/show/on-with-kara-swisher"> On with Kara Swisher</a>

Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant is a wildlife ecologist with an expertise in uncovering how human activity influences carnivore behavior and ecology. She is a National Geographic Explorer, host the PBS podcast Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, and is the cohost on NBC’s Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild.  She is the first black woman to ever host a television nature show. Her new book is titled: Wild Life: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World.   Some interesting insights from this episode: ·         She attended a high school for the performing arts because of her voice yet refused to apply for a conservatory to continue her musical studies knowing that her life vision was to become a nature show host.  ·         Having black leaders in wildlife conservation during her first field study project in Kenya was transformative in helping her understand that she could actually do this for a living. ·         Learning firsthand of lions killing local villagers in Tanzania was an experience that taught her that the wellbeing of people has to come first in wildlife conservation.  ·         Capturing and tagging a rare lemur during a mission critical expedition to protect a rainforest in Madagascar allowed her to overcome her self-doubt, increase her self-confidence, and realize her full potential.  ·         As cohost on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild, Rae has fulfilled her lifelong dream and become the first black woman to ever host a television nature show. ·         “Excellence is being your best and your truest.  It’s being aligned with your values, aligned with your energy, and aligned with the balance you’re seeking.”   Notes: Book: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Life-Finding-Purpose-Untamed/dp/1638930406/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13MWM22RHTXP5&keywords=rae+wynn+grant&qid=1707086637&sprefix=rae+wynn%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-1"> Wild Life: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World</a> Podcast: <a href= "https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/podcast/">Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant</a> TV show: <a href= "https://www.mutualofomaha.com/wild-kingdom/protecting-the-wild?utm_campaign=ptw&utm_content=wild_kingdom&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=rwg"> Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild</a> Personal website: <a href= "https://www.raewynngrant.com/">Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant</a>
