#79 Diamond Dallas Page: An Unlikely Journey to the Professional Wrestling World Title
09/01/2017 Duration: 58minAn Unlikely Journey of Success and How Diamond Dallas Page is Paying it Forward. Yes, I am a competitive wrestler interviewing a semi-retired professional wrestler. When I came across what Dallas is doing now, I was absolutely blown away. But before we get to that, let me introduce him to those who don’t know who he is. In addition to his two-decade professional wrestling career, Dallas is an actor, motivational speaker, and fitness instructor. He broke into the wrestling world as a business manager in 1988 before signing with WCW, where he went on to become a 3x World Champion.

#77 Jim Harshaw (solo): The Weirdest (and Most Practical) Episode You’ll Ever Listen to on Goal Setting Strategy
26/12/2016 Duration: 13minToday I bring you the weirdest but most practical podcast episode you’ll ever listen to. Instead of being a passive listener, you’ll be an active participant in this episode. Here’s why I’m doing this. I was working with a CEO recently and we got to the part of Reveal Your Path where we discussed “Selective Programming.” “Selective Programming” is where you selectively choose the messages that come to you throughout your day… radio, reading, self-talk and the people with whom you surround yourself. He explained that he felt he needed “deselective programming.” He felt he was over-programmed. Like he’s constantly reading books, listening to podcasts and gaining knowledge but he doesn’t take enough time to actually implement what he’s learned. This episode is a response to that discussion. I lead you through a series of questions that, cumulatively, will lead you to clarity around your biggest goal for 2017. It’s unique. It’s different. It will expand your mind. Dive in! Want a list of these questions in a work
