The millennials guide to financial freedom | Kim Northwood | EP91

This week on the Ultrahabits podcast we are being joined by Kay Bretz.Dr. Kay (pronounced 'Kai', rhyming with sky) Bretz is a German-Australian corporate leader, elite athlete, entrepreneur and author of the inspirational book 'Turning Right – Inspire the Magic'. After earning a master's degree in International Business and getting awarded a doctorate in European Law in record time, Kay has worked in more than a dozen countries as a McKinsey consultant. When he reached the level of an Associate Principal, he moved to Australia and joined the Buying leadership team at Coles Supermarkets in 2011, followed by the Woolworths Group from 2017 to 2020.During his time as a corporate leader, he pursued his passion for long-distance running and learned to master the mental game. Kay stepped up from hobby marathon running to becoming one of the fastest ultramarathon runners worldwide. In his first year of ultrarunning in 2015, he improved the race record of the 250-kilometre-long Big Red Run by more than five hours. Then he joined the Australian national team in the 24-hour running format and became the fastest-ever Australian at the world championships, clocking 259.67 kilometres within 24 hours. In 2019 he got awarded the Australian Ultraperformance of the Year Award.The pivotal moment unravelling his personal transformation was a simple right turn at his garden gate. Accidently, one day Kay turned right and realised that he had never turned right at that juncture. Too much was he caught up in his need for predictability, clinging to discipline and self-control. Turning right made him realise that there was a world out there waiting for him to explore, so – metaphorically speaking – Kay started turning right more often embracing uncertainty. Over this journey he learned how to leave behind the limitations he placed on himself which prevented him from overcoming his biggest challenges and reaching his dreams. His entire perspective on what he was capable of shifted, resulting not only in performance jump but also deeper fulfillment.Since 2020, Kay dedicates himself to help leaders and organisations thrive. Through keynote speaking, executive coaching and facilitating business transformational, he inspires others to unleash their inner magic by 'turning right' themselves. Kay works with people who desire more from their existence and have the courage to lead a life where they shine brightly. He is most curious, what magic is waiting to emerge from within you and your team?

How to Transform Who You Think You Are to Reach Your Highest Aspirations - Kay Bretz | EP90

Steven Kotler

If you think that ageing means slowing down and giving up on your passions, think again! On today's show we dive into the contents of the book Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad, with author Steven Kotler.He shares his personal journey of testing his own ageing body in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three. He challenges himself to learn park skiing, a sport that involves jumps and tricks and is usually reserved for young daredevils.But Kotler is not just a thrill-seeker. He is also a scientist who has been studying peak performance for thirty years and teaching hundreds of thousands of people how to achieve it. He applies cutting-edge discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience to his own experiment in later-in-life skill acquisition.The result is a book that is part memoir, part science, and part how-to guide. It is a book that inspires, educates, and entertains. It is a book that shows you how to grow old and stay rad.Gnar Country is not just about skiing. It is about any goal that you have in your life, whether it is physical, mental, or professional. It is about how to overcome the obstacles that ageing presents and how to use them as opportunities for growth. It is about how to tap into your innate abilities and unleash your full potential.In Gnar Country, you will meet the elite performers who have changed the definition of what’s possible in the second half of our lives. You will learn the principles and practices that they use to achieve extraordinary results. You will discover how to find your flow state, the optimal state of consciousness where you feel and perform your best. Gnar Country is more than a book. It is a movement. It is a community of people who refuse to settle for less than their best. It is a call to action for anyone who wants to aim high and make it happen.Notable moments in this episode:(05:04) - what is “Gnar Country”?

Growing old and staying rad - Steven Kotler | EP89

Ryan Crawford

This week we are talking to Ryan Crawford, aka “The White Kenyan”. He has taken the Australian ultraendurance scene by storm as is known for running insane distances with a love for “last man standing races” which is a gruelling form of competition.Ryan is a father of two sons, who has a beautiful wife who loves and supports him on his journey. He’s been competing and challenging himself in ultra-marathon running over the past five or so years.  Ryan has come from a fighting and training background in the art of Muay Thai for many years prior where he achieved both National and State titles as well as balancing full-time construction work and family life. He believes that the transition was relatively smooth because training hard was no stranger to him; preparing for his fights and conditioning the body/mind was an absolute must, so his training just evolved as he did.Ryan is intent on leaving a legacy and intends to show his boys and those around him that anything is possible if you truly want it and work hard for it, also to teach them the blueprint to mastering the mind to get through tough times; for him, it’s not just about running, it’s about meeting and overcoming the challenges of life.

This week we are talking to Ryan Crawford, aka “The White Kenyan”. He has taken the Australian ultraendurance scene by storm as is known for running insane distances with a love for “last man standing races” which is a gruelling form of competition. Ryan is a father of two sons, who has a beautiful wife who loves and supports him on his journey. He’s been competing and challenging himself in ultra-marathon running over the past five or so years. Ryan has come from a fighting and training background in the art of Muay Thai for many years prior where he achieved both National and State titles as well as balancing full-time construction work and family life. He believes that the transition was relatively smooth because training hard was no stranger to him; preparing for his fights and conditioning the body/mind was an absolute must, so his training just evolved as he did. Ryan is intent on leaving a legacy and intends to show his boys and those around him that anything is possible if you truly want it and work hard for it, also to teach them the blueprint to mastering the mind to get through tough times; for him, it’s not just about running, it’s about meeting and overcoming the challenges of life. Ryan believes we all face challenges at some time or another and having the tools and strategies to face difficulties head-on is important. Ryan is currently in the stages of building his own Muay Thai fitness gym on the family property, the name of which will be NAK SUU JAI, which means a warrior who fights to protect and defend.

Mindset with the “White Kenyan” - Ryan Crawford | EP88

Alex Budak

Everyone has the potential to lead positive change, according to Alex Budak.As a speaker, social entrepreneur, UC Berkeley faculty member, co-founder of StartSomeGood, and author of Becoming a Changemaker, he has dedicated his life to helping people from all walks of life become changemakers.This week Alex and I dive into the role and importance of change and why each individual should take it upon themselves to become a changemaker, however small or grand! Alex co-founded StartSomeGood.com, a platform that helps break down barriers that prevent people from enacting change. Thanks to his amazing team, they have helped over 1,000 changemakers in 50 countries raise over $12 Million USD to catalyze new projects.While living in Stockholm, Sweden, Alex had a good fortune that local leaders trusted him to run Sweden’s leading social innovation incubator. He lived in and explored Scandinavia for three years before returning home to San Francisco, where he helped Change.org raise its $35 Million Series D round from leading investors.Upon returning home to the Bay Area, Alex started lecturing at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business; it didn’t take long to realize teaching was my calling. He put his heart and soul into creating and teaching a transformational curriculum: “Becoming a Changemaker.” This course is the first-of-its kind, providing experiential teaching that ignites the inner changemaker of students, leaders, and executives worldwide. Alex says it was the class he needed when he began his changemaker journey.In addition to being a columnist for INC magazine, his first book, ‘Becoming a Changemaker’, came out in September 2022. It provides a fresh, inspiring and research-backed guide to developing the mindsets and leadership skills needed to navigate, shape, and lead change and positively impact our lives, careers, and communities.Notable moments in this episode:(11:12) - the habits needed to get comfortable with change(13:48) - Alex’s change trick he teaches his students(27:33) - how you can lead with influenceFollow Alex:Buy his book: https://www.alexbudak.com/book Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbudak/ Website: https://www.alexbudak.com/ Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook - facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

The world is ready for you to create change - Alex Budak | EP87

What would it be like to be ambushed by enemy soldiers, have your legs torn to shreds with bullets, then be given the wrong blood in an emergency transfusion, and then survive and return to combat?!This is the conversation with green beret Nick Lavery on this week’s show of Ultrahabits.We dive into philosophy, performance, and deep elements of his introspection as Nick’s range for dialogue is vast.Following a year of surgeries and initial recovery including the use of a prosthetic at Walter Reed National Medical Military Center, he returned to his unit.

An extensive world traveler, Nick provides training and motivational speeches to private sector corporations, schools and universities, sports teams, and a variety of different non-profit organizations.

Living by an ethos - Nick Lavery | EP86

“Sisu is a Finnish word for determination and intestinal fortitude in the face of extreme adversity. Gentle power is to apply sisu with both heart and reason.”These are the concepts that we are diving into on this weeks session on the show with Elisbat Lahti. Some of you may remember Elisabet from the first season of the show where we unpacked the Finnish concept of Sisu. On the show today, we talk about why we should apply the attitude of gentle power into our lives and conduct, and the impact on humanity when we do so. Elisbet says that power is fundamental in our lives―we express it in every conversation, relationship, and choice we make. All too often, we equate force and domination with power, while gentleness and compassion are considered “soft” or “weak.” The destructive nature of this skewed perspective has never been more obvious, yet there is reason to hope.Elisabet is an international presenter on topics related to positive psychology, courage, leadership, and high performance. She is also a transformational mindset coach supporting individuals who are committed to cultivating compassionate leadership and integrity in their daily lives.She conducted her PhD research for the Finland-based Aalto University School of Science and Technology in which she is pioneered the research on the ancient Finnish construct of sisu, which denotes courage and determination in the face of extreme adversity and the ability to unlock hidden inner strength when it is needed (find the research paper on embodied fortitude here and its press release here). Elisabet´s work has been featured by The New Yorker, Business Insider, Scientific American, BBC, and Forbes among others. Elisabet has given talks at Fortune500 companies such as Facebook and Salesforce, as well as Stanford University, The International World Congress on Positive Psychology, The Consciousness Summit, TEDx, and Singularity University at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California, where she also studied futurism and exponential technologies while attending their Global Solutions Programme.Elisabet has a master's degree in social psychology from the University of Tampere in Finland and in a master's degree in applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, USA. She is a former student of Dr Martin Seligman and began her master thesis work on sisu was advised by research professor Dr Angela Duckworth in 2013.Notable moments in this episode:(16:49) - how does power affect men from women?(36:06) - why does gentle power need to be embraced today?(56:58) - Elizabet’s #1 piece of advice to develop your sisuFollow Elizabet:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elisabetlahti.official/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/elisabet_lahti Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sisulab LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sisulab/ Homepage: https://www.sisulab.com Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook - facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

Why you should embody "Gentle Power" - Elisabet Lahti | EP85

By leveraging psychological expertise and over a decade of experience within the Australian Defence Force, Clifford Morgan brings discipline, training and focus to leadership development.He has seen first-hand the effects those leaders and the quality of leadership can have on people. He’s been part of teams where poor leadership has undermined performance, eroded morale, destroyed culture and broken people. He has seen those broken people fail to live up to their potential at work and go home unable to be the husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers they should be. All too often, this has led to broken marriages and broken families. As a result, Cliff wages war against the perpetuation of poor leadership.At the same time, Cliff is also served by leaders who showed the best of what a leader could be. Those who lead in a way that transforms people into better versions of themselves. Better people mean better teams and better organisations. More importantly, these 'better people' went home and were able to be better husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers building better families, communities and ultimately, a better world.During his time in the Air Force, Cliff established the Air Force Leadership Coaching Program locally at RAAF Base Amberley. In this capacity, he coached military commanders and trained hundreds of Air Force personnel and leaders to use coaching skills to lead more effectively and be more intentional about developing people and capability.After 8 years of full-time service, Cliff hit the books and spent eight years studying to become a fully endorsed Organisational Psychologist. Nowadays, Cliff is the Executive Director of Lumian Consulting, where he spends his time helping senior leaders and their teams pursue their potential to perform at their peak. Cliff is particularly passionate about exponential leadership. This is where great leaders lead in a way that develops their people, equipping them to lead and develop others so they, in turn, become great leaders themselves. In this way, one leader can produce layers of passionate, purpose-driven and proactive leaders.

He’s been part of teams where poor leadership has undermined performance, eroded morale, destroyed culture and broken people. He has seen those broken people fail to live up to their potential at work and go home unable to be the husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers they should be. All too often, this has led to broken marriages and broken families. As a result, Cliff wages war against the perpetuation of poor leadership. At the same time, Cliff is also served by leaders who showed the best of what a leader could be. Those who lead in a way that transforms people into better versions of themselves. Better people mean better teams and better organisations. More importantly, these 'better people' went home and were able to be better husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers building better families, communities and ultimately, a better world. During his time in the Air Force, Cliff established the Air Force Leadership Coaching Program locally at RAAF Base Amberley. In this capacity, he coached military commanders and trained hundreds of Air Force personnel and leaders to use coaching skills to lead more effectively and be more intentional about developing people and capability. After 8 years of full-time service, Cliff hit the books and spent eight years studying to become a fully endorsed Organisational Psychologist. Nowadays, Cliff is the Executive Director of Lumian Consulting, where he spends his time helping senior leaders and their teams pursue their potential to perform at their peak. Cliff is particularly passionate about exponential leadership. This is where great leaders lead in a way that develops their people, equipping them to lead and develop others so they, in turn, become great leaders themselves. In this way, one leader can produce layers of passionate, purpose-driven and proactive leaders.

What is work ethic? What are the qualities of good, and poor work ethic?Work ethic refers to a set of moral principles, values, and attitudes around how to act at work.

You need to regularly deliver on these behaviors.Productivity: You need to consistently navigate your priorities and find smart ways to use your time, complete important the tasks, and deliver high-quality results.Ownership and autonomy: You need to exercise initiative, and show that you can take direction from others, learn, and improve.Collaboration and team support: You need to have the foresight to look beyond your individual role and establish positive working relationships with others. Support the responsibilities of your team and act as a team player.All four qualities demonstrate professional integrity, or the practice of showing a strong commitment to ethical behavior at work.In contrast, examples of bad work ethic include:Low work qualityConsistent tardinessLack of attention to deadlinesFocusing on your own goals at the expense of the greater team or company goalsAbuse and harassment, whether of the most explicit variety or the unconscious, micro-aggressions and sabotaging of others.If you are keen to develop or maintain the habit of a good work ethic, then this episode is a must!Tutti is a coach to entrepreneurs and org leaders who make a real impact in the world. She typically supports women, people of colour, and immigrants, the “others” who are defining their own leadership in the tech world.Notable moments in this episode:(02:44) - Is work ethic about people being lazy versus driven?(07:32) - Is there a connection between willpower and work ethic?(29:00) - Tutti’s #1 habit on how to have a better work ethicFollow Tutti:Buy her book: https://www.tuttitaygerly.com/book Blog: https://tuttitaygerly.medium.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tuttitaygerly/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tuttitaygerly Website: https://www.tuttitaygerly.com/ Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook - facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Oberit - https://gr3f.co/c/50833/JYgMG Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

Put your family first and still crush it - Justin Breen | EP82

What do the world’s highest-performing teams have in common?Attributes.This is what we will be discussing on the show with retired Navy SEAL and ‘Team Six’ commander, Rich Diviney.The world’s highest-performing teams often have a clear and inspiring vision, strong leadership, and a deep sense of trust and collaboration among team members. They’re highly adaptable and able to handle complex and uncertain situations, and they are committed to ongoing learning and improvement.How did the Attributes come to be?During his twenty years as a Navy SEAL, Commander Rich Diviney was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. Diviney was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know:What does it take to be one of the highest-performing teams in the world?Through years of observation and practice, Rich learned to identify a successful recruit's core attributes, and how to choose the right candidate based on their innate traits. Combining Rich's military leadership experience with neuroscience and physiology, we have developed a series of frameworks, methods, and tools to support organizations to create high-performing teams, outlast the competition, and thrive in change and uncertainty.In our conversation, Rich defines the core Attributes in fresh and practical ways and shares stories from the military, business, sports, relationships, and even parenting to show how understanding your own Attributes and those of the people around you can create optimal performance in all areas of your life.Do you have what it takes to succeed in any situation?If the answer is “no”, then it’s important to understand the attributes you need to adopt.Notable moments in this episode:(16:36) - Why you need to focus on building on your attributes(28:49) - The top attributes that make a successful Navy SEAL(44:52) - Rich’s #1 habit of building your attributes Follow Rich:Buy his book: https://theattributes.com/buy/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theattributesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theattributes/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richdiviney/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rich_diviney Twitter: https://twitter.com/richdiviney Website: https://theattributes.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theattributes Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook -  facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Oberit - https://gr3f.co/c/50833/JYgMG Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

The difference between optimal and peak performance - Rich Diviney | EP81

Your values are your compass.This week we are joined by Dr. Mandeep Rai to discuss her work on values. Mandeep is the author of the international bestseller "The Values Compass" and a global authority on values, working with companies, institutions, and individuals around the world.Every day we make decisions based on what we believe in: values that define the ambitions we set, the choices we make, and the relationships we choose. In The Values Compass, Dr. Mandeep Rai shows how the countries of the world epitomize the power of values, provide an ideal guide to help us understand our own, and teach us important lessons about success.From Moroccan compromise to Armenian survival and American entrepreneurship, The Values Compass shows how we can incorporate the values that animate nations into our own lives—seeing ourselves through the eyes of the world, and shedding new light on the opportunities and challenges that define us. The result is an insightful and readable collection that helps us reflect on the values that matter most, last the longest, and have the greatest power to create change.“The Values Compass takes us into the hearts, minds, and traditions of the cultures and people of the world.

Your values are your compass. This week we are joined by Dr. Mandeep Rai to discuss her work on values. Mandeep is the author of the international bestseller "The Values Compass" and a global authority on values, working with companies, institutions, and individuals around the world. Every day we make decisions based on what we believe in: values that define the ambitions we set, the choices we make, and the relationships we choose. In The Values Compass, Dr. Mandeep Rai shows how the countries of the world epitomize the power of values, provide an ideal guide to help us understand our own, and teach us important lessons about success. From Moroccan compromise to Armenian survival and American entrepreneurship, The Values Compass shows how we can incorporate the values that animate nations into our own lives—seeing ourselves through the eyes of the world, and shedding new light on the opportunities and challenges that define us. The result is an insightful and readable collection that helps us reflect on the values that matter most, last the longest, and have the greatest power to create change. “The Values Compass takes us into the hearts, minds, and traditions of the cultures and people of the world. It demonstrates how interconnected we are and how the divisions that exist between us stem from acting with narrow self-interest rather than concern for the good of our human family. I hope that the book will contribute to making our world a happier place.” —THE DALAI LAMA Mandeep travelled to more than 150 countries and reported as a journalist for the BBC World Service and Reuters, amongst others.

Your values are your compass - Mandeep Rai | EP80

Anne Sugar

Why is my team underperforming and what can I do about it?This week we are talking to Anne Sugar about what characterizes underperforming teams and what can you if you find yourself leading or operating within a team that isn’t up to scratch. With all the material out there today about high-performing teams it seems like we have left out the reality that not all teams are high performing.Whilst there may be tonnes of material available that gives us insights into how to maintain or optimise team-based performance, what do we do when the team that we are on are barely performing? First off, it can be a hard pill to swallow, especially for those of us who pride ourselves on outcomes and delivery, rarely in the business world do we see people acknowledging that their team is consistently underperforming. In today’s conversation, we attempt to break the stigma, underperformance can be addressed skilfully and without the need to be ashamed of it. Sometimes things just aren’t working or where they need to be, the real question is what we are willing to do about it. About Anne:Anne Sugar is an executive coach and speaker who has advised top leaders at companies including TripAdvisor, Sanofi Genzyme, and Havas. Anne serves as an executive coach for Harvard Business School Executive Education and has guest lectured at MIT.Prior to becoming an executive coach more than a decade ago, Anne served as a senior leader in the advertising industry, where she oversaw a team of 75 employees as SVP of Media at Digitas. She managed media planning for Fortune 500 clients including General Motors, Federal Express, and Delta. She draws on her extensive management experience, as well as her in-depth training in coaching methodology, to advise senior executives and high performers transitioning into leadership roles.Notable moments in this episode:(18:19) - How to deal with toxic colleagues(22:58) - Can good leaders be good managers? And vice versa?(38:20) - Anne’s #1 habit on immediate actions to start building a high-performing teamFollow Anne:Forbes articles: https://www.forbes.com/sites/annesugar/?sh=2ad053983f60 HBR articles: https://hbr.org/search?term=anne%20sugar Inc. articles: https://www.inc-aus.com/author/anne-sugar Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-sugar-064564/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/aasugar?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Website: https://annesugar.com/ Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook -  facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Oberit - https://gr3f.co/c/50833/JYgMG Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

Why is my team underperforming? - Anne Sugar | EP79

Tony Hughes

This week on our show we dive into one of my favourite topics…sales! For this conversation, we have one of the world's most notable experts on the subject, Tony Hughes. Tony is an international keynote speaker, best-selling author, professional selling educator, award-winning blogger, and the most-read LinkedIn Author globally on the topic of B2B sales leadership. He is the co-founder of Sales IQ Global and ranked by Top Sales Magazine as the most influential person for professional selling in Asia-Pacific.With 35 years of sales and business leadership experience, Tony is an experienced CEO and company director having served as Director of Sales for public corporations and as the Asia-pacific Managing Director for several tier-one global technology companies.In our conversation, we cover our origins with selling, and how it transformed both of our lives, we move into the ancient truths of selling through to the cutting-edge approaches in a digitised world.The message is selling isn’t dead, old truths are now radicalised through the digital era.We go on to discuss, how to lead in creating a customer-centric culture, the future of selling in the fourth industrial revolution and the foundations of sales success in the age of empowered buyers.Tony teaches 'modernized selling' within the MBA program at the University of Technology, Sydney and has taught at other universities, and we discuss how selling hasn’t been taught traditionally in universities as its fallen under the scope of marketing, but as many sellers and marketers know, they are different crafts, Tony shares his views on the future of this relationship too. I have had the benefit of reading a couple of Tony's books and recommend The Joshua Principle to anyone that loves sales and connects to the Hero’s Journey, it’s a beautiful story of a novice seller and mentor and their combined journey. His other book, Tech Powered Sales is a meeting point of Sci-Fi and Sales, it's radical and future-oriented as it connects Digital, AI, and selling into an ecosystem of connected sales engagement. It’s a remarkable read. Notable moments in this episode:(22:24) - What ineffective sales look like(39:32) - How you can leverage technology to identify more trigger events to create more opportunity(52:23) - Tony’s #1 habit to get better with salesFollow Tony:Books: https://www.tonyhughes.com.au/publications Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tonyhughes.rsvpselling Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hughestony/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TonyHughesAU Website: https://www.tonyhughes.com.au/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/RSVPselling/playlists Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook -  facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Oberit - https://gr3f.co/c/50833/JYgMG Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

Facing the fears that hold you back at work - Rebecca Zucker | EP77

Cheryl Strauss Einhorn

When your inner voice lies to you.As humans our inner voice is one of the most precious instruments of truth we have. Or so we’re told. This talk lays out a specific approach for verifying what your inner voice says to you so simply that anyone could put it to use immediately.Cheryl Strauss Einhorn founded Decisive, a decision sciences company that trains people and teams in complex problem solving and decision-making skills using the AREA Method. AREA is an evidence-based decision-making system that uniquely controls for and counters cognitive bias to expand knowledge while improving judgment. Cheryl developed AREA during her two decades as an award-winning investigative journalist writing for publications ranging from The New York Times and Foreign Policy Magazine to Barron’s and The Stanford Social Innovation Review. Here are some benefits of the AREA method with respect to decision-making. - The AREA Method guides you to gather information one perspective at a time to help you control your rush to judgement. The Exploitation chapter offers even more specific exercises to tackle this bias.- By gathering information one perspective at a time and by beginning with information from the source itself, you ground yourself in perspectives other than your own. This keeps your data and your focus more objective.- By following the AREA Method you will be using a source-based methodology that is structured to heighten your awareness of your own thinking limitations while focusing you on other people’s viewpoints.- The AREA Method encourages you to do your own work, broken down into discrete and manageable research steps. Further, the AREA Method is structured so that you are always aware of the source(s) of your information. By being aware of your source, you put some distance between yourself and the herd.Cheryl teaches at Cornell University and has authored two books Problem Solved, A Powerful System for Making Complex Decisions with Confidence and Conviction, about personal and professional decision-making, and Investing In Financial Research, A Decision-Making System for Better Results about financial and investment decisions. Notable moments in this episode:(06:46) - How to know if your inner voice is lying to you(27:21) - How executives can use the AREA method to make better business decisions(46:22) - Cheryl’s #1 habit to ensure you improve your decision making skillsFollow Cheryl:Facebook - https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100052046686919&amp;_rdr Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cbse/?hl=en LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-strauss-einhorn-57353823/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/cheryleinhorn Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook -  facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Oberit - https://gr3f.co/c/50833/JYgMG Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits

Mark Divine

Most people think of mental toughness when they imagine a Navy SEAL.  What they don’t expect is the thoughtful, yoga-innovating, joking and laughing, professor of leadership named Mark Divine.This is our guest on this week's episode of the show!At twenty-six he graduated as Honor Man (#1-ranked trainee) of SEAL BUD/S class number 170. Mark served for nine years total on active duty and eleven as a Reserve SEAL, retiring as Commander in 2011.  His leadership of teams was so effective the government tasked him with creating a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees.  Not only did it increase the quality of SEAL candidates, but it also reduced the BUD/S attrition rate up to five percent.His focus on more than just physical fitness made Mark's program so effective.  He’d seen laughter conquer fatigue and bond teams at their BUD/S breaking point, intuition save his men during the hell of war and special ops missions.  He knew he could form a fitness company that prepared civilians for the physical AND mental/emotional demands of a Navy SEAL-like lifestyle.  So he started At the same time SEALFIT was beginning he co-founded Coronado Brewing Company, built www.NavySEALs.com, the leading website for SEAL gear and information, and launched US Tactical, a government contracting business.  He also served as an adjunct professor of leadership at the University of San Diego before the Navy called him up for duty in the Iraq War.Through Mark’s teaching, entrepreneurial endeavors and travel to foreign countries, he noticed the power of mental toughness, emotional resilience, intuitive leadership and a healthy spirit for anyone wanting breakthrough performance.  They weren’t solely for combat or restricted to the business world or one culture.  He’d watch them transform people's lives from every background, nation and belief system.  So he wrote and self-published his first book, Unbeatable Mind, in 2011 and launched its at-home study program.Notable moments in this episode:(18:19) - How life unfolds when your upbringing has materialistic abundance but with a scarcity mindset(35:31) - How famous Navy SEAL, David Goggins would have gone to that next level if he did this.(54:13) - Mark’s #1 habit on mindsetFollow Mark:Books - https://markdivine.com/books/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RealMarkDivine Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/realmarkdivine/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/ Podcast - https://markdivine.com/podcast/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/MarkDivine Website - https://markdivine.com/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2UsDsqUL6PpKcdNKk-XO1g Follow &amp; Subscribe to the Ultrahabits Journey:Apple - podcasts.apple.com/podcast/the-ultra-habits-podcast/id1551339373Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0eWBOT8L1ShaRy5aoPxOHpFacebook -  facebook.com/ultrahabits Instagram - instagram.com/ultra.habits/ LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/rj-singh-801a0436/ Oberit - https://gr3f.co/c/50833/JYgMG Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/32692468 YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UC6Wx-9NQ81K_4mZYCmoNGvQWebsite - ultrahabits.co/Rate the podcast - https://ratethispodcast.com/ultrahabits
