Haralabos Voulgaris

Haralabos Voulgaris is one of the most accomplished professional gamblers in history. Focusing solely on the NBA, his edge early in his career came from a keen understanding of match-ups, mapping the tendencies of head coaches, and exploiting mistakes in the lines set by the sportsbooks. This approach was profitable for years, so much so that Haralabos regular wagered $1,000,000 per day on games. Around 2004 the sports books caught on to his strategies and made adjustments to kill his edge. This was when Haralabos made the shift to using statistics and algorithms to inform his betting decisions. He became a pioneer in NBA statistical analysis and in addition to being recognized for his gambling prowess, he's been featured in the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference, and consulted for NBA teams during the off season. Elliot and Haralabos discuss winning in a game that most believe is unbeatable, balancing extreme success with happiness, and the value of personal development. In This Episode... [2:15] Why Haralabos doesn’t like the “professional gambler” label, even though he has regularly wagered $1,000,000 a day on NBA games. [3:45] The process that Haralabos goes through to find an edge in a field where 99% of the participants are losing money. [7:05] The “Beard” strategy Haralabos employed to make large wagers even when the Sports Books had blocked his action. [12:15] Why having a different mindset than the rest of your industry is the key to breakout success. [16:50] How Haralabos’ analytic methodology landed him a consulting gig with an NBA team (and why NBA managers refuse to talk to him during the season). [19:55] Two ways to balance your happiness with the effort and dedication that extreme success requires. [27:13] How to use meditation to reverse the adverse effects of excess social media usage.

Stephen Barrie

Gut health is one of the hottest topics in the medical industry right now, as research is revealing the critical role it plays in all aspects of health. Dr. Stephen Barrie is executive with Viome – which is a company that tests and tracks the exact composition of your microbiome. Chronic illnesses caused by an imbalance in the microbiome are a huge hindrance to performing to your full potential, and Dr. Barrie shares how Viome maps your gut and shows you the foods you need to eat (and avoid) to restore balance. Elliot and Dr. Barrie also discuss how optimizing your microbiome improves performance for those who wouldn't immediately identify as having a gut health problem. In This Episode... [2:05] Did you know there are 100 trillion microbial cells in and on the human body? That’s 10x the 10 trillion human cells we have. Recent studies show that an imbalance in this microbiome leads to 90% of all human disease including Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s, and Type 2 Diabetes. [5:15] How Viome measures the exact composition of your gut microbiome and determines the precise foods you should and shouldn’t eat to optimize gut health (and why this means there is no such thing as a universally healthy diet). [7:40] The “Myth Of The Universally Health Food.” If you hate broccoli, you might be one of the 38% who shouldn’t be eating it ever! [9:40] How to stabilize and control the composition of your gut microbiome so you can gradually increase the variety of foods that are healthy for you to eat. [12:58] Ever give in to sugar cravings that you know are bad for you? Discover how bad bacteria literally hijack your thoughts, feelings, and emotions to manipulate your behavior for their own benefit. [16:10] How to gain an extra edge by optimizing your microbiome, even if you think your gut health seems perfectly fine. [22:02] What to do after you’ve gone through a course of antibiotics to restore a healthy microbiome (skip this step, and it could take up to 3 years to fully recover).

Gerald Rogers

Today we’re discussing a topic that cannot be ignored if you truly want lasting success in all aspects of life: Identity. In today’s episode, Gerald Rogers, author, speaker and coach, explains why addressing identity is key to creating lasting positive change. Gerald has seen massive transformations and an evolving coaching industry but one thing remains the same: His passion to help others spread their message, find freedom, and live their purpose. Tune in to hear Gerald explain why true transformation only occurs when strategy is paired with the right mindset.

The best coaches are holistic; they teach both mindset and strategy. Our identity can begin to positively shift when we address preexisting beliefs and surround ourselves with supportive people.
