New Man Emerging with Michael Desanti In my interview with Micahel Desanti, author of New Man Emerging, we discuss his thought on how we can all live a life of purpose, passion, freedom & fulfilment. Personally I find this message can often be misguided if not well understood and that's exactly the discussion we have. Michael believes that today’s man finds himself at a crossroad: continue down a path of conformity and people pleas-ing, or create a new paradigm of freedom and fulfilment. So how do we start living a more meaningful, self-guided life??? Listen in. Guest Bio Michael DeSanti is the owner of Authentic Self Healing LLC, a mens’ fulfilment coaching company, and the co-owner of The Vital Guide, a retreat company for men. As a Transformation Trainer and author, Michael is committed to inspiring men to live lives of purpose and fulfilment.

Scott defines 'ultralearning' as self-directed and aggressive learning. Whilst we don't delve in as deep as the depths of his book does, there is certainly some valuable tools and insights to be had. Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success. Guest Bio Scott Young is a writer who undertakes interesting self-education projects, such as attempting to learn MIT’s four-year computer science curriculum in twelve months and learning four languages in one year. He lives in Vancouver Canada.

Eat Move Sleep by Tom Rath Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi (originally published Oct, 7th 2014) This book is a very basic and easy review of healthy living. The information shared may come across as general knowledge however with the increasing health epidemic across the globe, much of what Tom shares must be disregarded or at least not acted upon. Health, illness and diseases are one of the biggest challenges we face in our world today. And while I am far from the perfect example of how human health should look, this book supplies, in an easy to read format, how we can all move towards a healthier life.

Why Are We Yelling In this interview, I discuss with Buster Benson the art of productive disagreement. Have you ever walked away from an argument and suddenly thought of all the brilliant things you wish you'd said? Do you avoid certain family members and colleagues because of bitter, festering tension that you can't figure out how to address? I can certainly relate to many occasions where what could have been healthy debates, arguments have ended in uncomfortable and displeasing ways.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 6 Tips to Success- Conference Take Outs Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi – originally published Mar 13, 2015 I grew up watching Arnie movies! To many of us, he is a bit of a legend. With great lines like “get to the chopper”, and “I’ll be back”, one of the most quoted movie lines ever, I believe that he has certainly worked hard to achieve success across his various careers. For sure, like anyone, he probably has traits not to be admired and had an equal share of challenges and turmoil, that's a given. However, from the success that he has had there is a thing or two we could most certainly learn. I wrote this post after I had the privilege of hearing him speak at a conference in Australia. He told us that he has always been asked of how to become successful so in this speech he dedicated to giving some answers. Here are Arnold's six principles for success and what I took away.

As the subtitle suggests the aim is to help the reader to think outside the box, outside our comfort zones and beyond, in efforts to live a more extraordinary life. Rather than swimming on the surface of the pool with the status quo, Andy strives to take the reader to the bottom of the pool, a place where boundaries are limitless and opportunities endless.

Choose Yourself! by James Altucher Written and Narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi - originally published Aug 15, 2014 James Altucher is a quirky dude. Operating under many tittles, Hedge Fund Manager, Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, Author and Podcaster, I appreciate him for his unique perspectives, ability to think outside the box and his way of vulnerable self-expression. With over 20 books under his belt, this is perhaps one of his more popular ones with a title that has a nice hook - who doesn't want to choose themselves, be happy, make millions and live the dream? The book starts with a deal from James and that’s an offer that if you can prove you’ve read the book, he will refund your money. He states that all the ideas in the book have already given him his success and made him his pennies and rather than giving it away he is simply asking you to invest in yourself with some certain level of confidence. Essentially asking you to ‘Choose Yourself’. A clever marketing ploy, nonetheless.

The Way of Effortless Mindfulness In this interview, I chat with Lock Kelly about his new book The Way of Effortless Mindfulness. To begin Lock highlights that difference between deliberate mindfulness, that in which most of us are likely familiar with, and effortless mindfulness. He describes "effortless mindfulness," an advanced yet simple form of mindfulness that can liberate the deepest levels of suffering. Although limited by time Lock guides us on how this path to effortless mindfulness is best achieved. I found it a little hard to navigate however upon listening to the conversation for a second time I can connect the dots. I suppose to gain a really thorough understanding it would be best to read his book. For what it's worth, please enjoy this conversation with Lock Kelly. Guest Bio Loch Kelly, M.Div., LCSW is the author of the best-seller, The Way of Effortless Mindfulness. He is an educator, contemplative psychotherapist and recognized leader in the field of consciousness and awakening. Loch i

Simple Steps To Becoming Self-Motivated Written by Ashley Field. Narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi My review of Ashley Fields guest post this week. Nobody wants to have to rely on others to motivate themselves - as humans, we are social creatures and often like communicating and giving each other ‘pep talks’ to cheer our friends up and keep everyone moving through life. However, this isn’t always possible, and sometimes you need the internal power to be able to motivate yourself. Maybe you don’t want to be a burden on others, or maybe you just need to take some time away from the people who usually surround you, but don’t want to suffer from a lack of energy and desire due to this. In these cases, and many others, self-motivation is a surprisingly easy answer, and it only takes a few simple steps to realize your potential in being able to motivate yourself.

The Miracle Equation by Hal Elrod Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi In this book, Hal Elrod shares the two decisions that will move our biggest goals from possible, to probably to inevitable. It's a really simple equation however the greatest challenge is in its implementation.

Hal Elrod is the Miracle Morning man. He wrote a book that has since gone on two selling millions of copies yet more importantly has helped thousands of people transform their lives. I've interivew him on the podcast and read his Miracle Morning book for Real Estate Agents and the simplicity of the morning routine is outstanding. However, like the Miracle Equation, the mastery lies in the execution.
