Podcast 154: Start With Why with Simon Sinek

Listen to an excerpt of Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's Extreme Ownership, read by the authors.

In Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin share hard-hitting, Navy SEAL combat stories that translate into lessons for business and life. With riveting first-hand accounts of making high-pressure decisions as Navy SEAL battlefield leaders, this book is equally gripping for leaders who seek to dominate other arenas. Jocko and Leif served together in SEAL Task Unit Bruiser, the most highly decorated Special Operations unit from the war in Iraq. Their efforts contributed to the historic triumph for U.S. forces in Ramadi. Through those difficult months of sustained combat, Jocko, Leif and their SEAL brothers learned that leadership--at every level--is the most important thing on the battlefield. They started Echelon Front to teach these same leadership principles to companies across industries throughout the business world that want to build their own high-performance, winning teams. 
This audiobook explains the SEAL leadership concepts crucial to accomplishing the most difficult missions in combat and how to apply them to any group, team, or organization. It provides the reader with Jocko and Leif's formula for success: the mindset and guiding principles that enable SEAL combat units to achieve extraordinary results. It demonstrates how to apply these directly to business and life to likewise achieve victory.

Who is Steve Scott? (In his own words from SteveScottSite.com) 
&nbsp;
I&rsquo;m a firm believer in the idea of the &ldquo;Internet Lifestyle.&rdquo; Money is great and all.&nbsp; But I think it&rsquo;s not as important as creating the life that YOU want to live.&nbsp; The greatest thing about having an affiliate business is the flexibility to do things on YOUR terms.&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t believe me?&nbsp; Well, I just spent seven months traveling through Europe in 2010 (from April to November.)&nbsp; I literally lived the laptop lifestyle where I bounced from one city to the next.&nbsp; During this time, each week I averaged 5 hours on my money making businesses and 10 hours writing/marketing this blog. This experience validated all the notions I had about being able to work hard, travel the world, and do what you want to do.
&nbsp;
I&rsquo;m just an ordinary guy who has a relatively normal existence on the Jersey Shore.&nbsp; I live in a modest two-bedroom apartment on the ocean.&nbsp; Most of my days are spent working.&nbsp; And during my free time I like to do fun activities like running, hiking, skiing, surfing, reading and spending time with my loved ones.

Ep: 29 - David Allen GTD® Keynote in Milan, Part 1

Today's episode features a rare segment by David where he outlines the sources of procrastination, a few fun examples of the dynamics at work, and the steps we can take to overcome it. &nbsp;

Ep: 36 - Overcoming Procrastination

Love love love this little rant that came off the dome while chatting with Tyler my assistant - Sometimes being a number 1 in a company is over glorified and it takes a different perspective to realize that all these big meetings I'm having with these big names is really eating the dirt to set myself up for an even bigger success in the end. I'm grinding, just like all of you to place myself where I want to end up - long term goals. This rant/ exchange is something you should all listen to as you're setting up for 2018.

A Rant: Eating Dirt & Being A Number 2 in A Company

David explores the power of outcome thinking in front of a live audience. &nbsp;This talk will reveal just how much the thoughts we hold in our head have the potential to affect the types and qualities of action we take.&nbsp; From athletic performance to prepping for that next big meeting, what we think about *while* we act can affect *how* we act.

Ep: 38 - The Power of Outcome Thinking

HABITS ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR MASTERY.

When I lived in Columbus, I knew that I wanted to make a lot of money.

So I took my TV out of my apartment.

If I wanted to watch a game, I went to a sports bar. If I wanted a break, I would go to the movies.

I changed my environment to help me reach my goals.

Habits will only work if you create a world that makes them easy.

If you have a pinched water hose and you want more water to come out, you can either create more water pressure or straighten the hose. Which one do you think is easier?

Habits will make or break you. That’s why I really enjoyed talking with my guest today who is an expert on habits: James Clear.

James Clear is an author, photographer, and entrepreneur. He writes about habits by combining scientific research (the why) with practical application (the how).

James tells us that our habits are influenced by our tribe and our environment.

He says the people who seem like they have the most self-control are the least tempted.

Learn how to make lifestyle changes that last on Episode 701.

Success Habits: The Proven Way to Achieve Your Dreams with James Clear

MEDITATION WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Why do we set aside time to take care of our bodies, but not our minds?

You need to work out your mental health just as often as you work out your physical health.

Meditation is basically a bicep curl for your brain.

When you meditate, you’re training your brain to come back to the present moment over and over again.

It’s scientifically proven to alter your brain waves.

That’s why I’m revisiting a conversation I had with someone whose life was changed by meditation: Dan Harris.

Dan Harris is a correspondent for ABC News, an anchor for Nightline and co-anchor for the weekend edition of Good Morning America.

He is a New York Times bestselling author who wrote 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book.

Dan found meditation after suffering an on-air panic attack. Now he works to make meditation accessible for everyone.

Learn how meditation helped Dan and why he thinks it’s health’s next big thing in Episode 705.


In This Episode You Will Learn:

The crazy thing Dan Harris did (00:50)

The hardest part of a 10-day meditation (1:10)

The happiest Dan has ever been (2:20)

Why mediation helps (3:00)

The Power of Meditation

David Allen and Kelly Forrister present an instructional webinar where you'll have the opportunity to take a deeper dive into understanding the power of completion and creating a vision for wild success.

Ep: 46 - Seamless Completions and Fresh Perspective

Have you celebrated where you are today?

It’s important to have big goals. It’s important to have high standards. But you also need to acknowledge all you’ve done.

Life isn’t only about the grind.

It’s also about joy.

This is a lesson I’ve had to learn through the years, and I believe it’s a key to my success.

You have to enjoy every step along the way.

I share this thought and many more on this special episode of The School of Greatness where I invited the winners of the Inspiring Life Contest from around the world to join me in the studio.

This past year, we held a contest on our Facebook Watch show, Inspiring Life. Those winners got a bunch of prizes including getting flown out to CA for an interview on the podcast. 

Amanda Michel from Dubai, Jackie Morey from Seattle, Pete Kotzbach from Redondo Beach, Julie Richard from New Brunswick, Canada, and Kelsey Ruger joined me for a live Q&A. They asked me questions on how I’ve created The School of Greatness, what makes a good interview, and my goals for the future.

I also share some behind-the-scenes information on the podcast.
