"Behind the scenes of every great success story, you will see somebody doing something that is out of the ordinary" Robert G. Allen "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man,” George Bernard Shaw wrote. Success often requires that you do something unreasonable. You have to make a brazen claim that you’re going to do something out of the ordinary, even when the world pushes back.. Either you’ll fail miserably,…

"Connectedness is understanding that there is an unseen hand that's making moves in the universe." Luke Storey If you’re a faithful Get Yourself Optimized listener, you’ve probably already heard my recent conversation with Luke Storey. Luke, who hosts the Life Stylist Podcast, was already a recurring guest on the show. He originally joined me to talk about fashion in one of my very first episodes. In our more recent conversation, we discussed extreme biohacking, spirituality, and how this combination can lead to a higher level of consciousness. Today, Luke generously…

"Nothing is as powerful as going on TV news, and talk shows, and celebritizing your personal brand." Clint Arthur Would you like to be on TV?

Today’s guest, Clint Arthur, is here to talk about how to get on TV and how to make a sizeable income from speaking. He’s the #1 bestselling author of…

"Once I made the decision to go from a fashion stylist to a life stylist, I found my real passion." Luke Storey Most of us stop believing in Santa Claus when we’re children. But what if believing in him as an adult enhanced (rather than detracted from) our lives? Because we are fundamentally unable to access ultimate truth, we shouldn’t think of our beliefs as true or false. Rather, we should view our beliefs as either empowering or disempowering. Choosing empowering beliefs leads to an empowered life! Luke Storey explores…

"Pursuing something that you are so invested in and love so much and are so passionate about doesn’t feel like working." Adam Markel Being a workaholic used to be a badge of honor. Now, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that working 80, 90, or even more hours a week is a problem, not a point of pride. If you’re going through that, or still feel like the path to success is being the first one into the office and the last one out, it’s time that you make a pivot…

"Your calling will ask you to become the fullest, most powerful, and most expanded version of yourself." Jeffrey Van Dyk Each and every one of us has wounding childhood experiences, which are fundamentally confusing at their core. From an evolutionary standpoint, we’re unable to blame our parents, which leads us to blame ourselves. As a result, we can feel unworthy, unlovable, inferior, and unwanted. These feelings set us up for an epic battle that can last for the rest of our lives; the battle of yourself versus your beliefs. If…

"I had learned to build a body from the outside in. I hadn't learned to build a body from the inside out." Wade Lightheart One thing we all want is vibrant, powerful, tremendous health. After all, health is wealth, right? You’re probably aware that exercise and diet are two important components of health. You might not realize, however, just how important your diet is (and not just in terms of how many calories you eat). Believe it or not, the fifth biggest killer is digestive-related illnesses. The key to avoiding…

"Alpha waves promote creativity, innovation, intuition, calmness, relaxation, and mood stability." Chris Keane Imagine how profoundly and powerfully it would impact your life if you spent 40 years as a monk meditating on a mountaintop. There’s no doubt you would gain enlightenment, clarity, and train your brain to function in remarkable ways. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have time to spend 40 years meditating. The good news is that there’s an incredible program that helps you reap many benefits of meditation in just five days. My guest today, Chris Keane…

"Certain things have more power than others, and that is just part of the journey." Kate Beeders Every single one of us has at least one story that we tell ourselves about money. These stories are often ingrained in us at a young age. We may not even realize what they are or recognize how they impact us today. Money stories can have a significant influence on how we handle money throughout our lives and can even hold us back from achieving financial success. Kate Beeders knows all about negative…

Each and every one of us has the ability to change the world for the better, but so few of us realize our true potential. Imagine if you could help a paralyzed artist paint again, or give arms to a boy whose own limbs were blown off by a bomb, or help a deaf woman hear through sensations on her skin, or even allow a man stricken with ALS to tell his wife that he loves her out loud for the first time in over a decade. All of these…
