    Tips for Pursuing Multiple Career Paths Simultaneously, An Interview With Chris Sherwin

    Tips for Pursuing Multiple Career Paths Simultaneously, An Interview With Chris Sherwin

    Tips for Pursuing Multiple Career Paths Simultaneously, From Someone Who's Done It: An Interview With Chris Sherwin

    In today's episode of the thinking big podcast we talk with Chris Sherwin, he started out in business administration earning his MA and BSBA in just 3.5 years and his MBA in two years. As a Controller for a worldwide software company, and a CFO of $30 million, details and processes soon became his most valuable skill. He took an interesting turn in his career after an incident in life led him to pursue law enforcement and public service. He served as a police officer for 20 years and simultaneously began his own private security company demonstrating that you can fulfill all of your goals and dreams in life with the right mindset.

     

    5 Key Take Aways From The Episode

    • Chris Sherwin has an interesting background, having gone from being a controller for a 30 million company to being a police officer.

    • He made the switch because he always wanted to be a policeman and was inspired by the professionalism of the officers who responded to a domestic disturbance at his old job.

    • He started his own security company, which was successful due to its low prices and good service.

    • Being a police officer is becoming increasingly difficult, as there is more polarization in the country between civilians and law enforcement.

    • This is when three cops started a podcast called "The Three Cops Talk" in order to open up a dialogue between police officers and civilians.

    Why is understanding your DRIVING FORCE so important to understand?

    It is important to understand they are not goals nor merely desires, but profound needs that underlie and motivate every choice, every belief, and every decision we make.

    Because they are the driving force behind any person’s behavior, understanding the needs and the vehicles used to meet them, we will have a better understanding of why life is the way it is currently and more importantly, how to facilitate change.

    How to Activate Your Brain's Hidden Powers Using Neuroscience With Guest Dr. Eugene K. Choi

    How to Activate Your Brain's Hidden Powers Using Neuroscience With Guest Dr. Eugene K. Choi

    Every day, we get stuck in the same habits and routines. We go through the motions, but we don’t put much thought into why we do what we do. It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that our brain operates in one of two states - survival or executive. The latter is where hidden powers like critical thinking, creativity, and empathy come from - yet most people spend 70% of their time in the survival state due to things like stress, anxiety, and fear. This limits our growth as individuals and blocks us from unlocking our full potential.

    What causes us to stay in a survival state? Today we are talking with Dr. Eugene Choi about numerous reasons why this happens, and regardless of the cause, the important to recognize when you’re stuck in this state so you can take steps to break out of it.

    When you start spending less time in the survival state and more time in an executive state, amazing things can happen. You become better equipped with tools like problem solving skills and creative thinking which allow you to reach higher levels of success both professionally and personally. In addition, being able to think critically allows us to navigate challenging situations with greater ease - making it easier for us reach our goals without getting sidetracked or overwhelmed by obstacles along the way.

    My biggest takeaways from todays episode are:

    • Our brain operates either in a survival state (fear/threat) or an executive state (problem solving/decision making). Research shows that our brain is in the executive state only 30% of the time.
    • The survival state is triggered by emotions like frustration, anxiety, anger, and fear.
    • When you're in survival mode, your body is actually thinking it's about to die. This affects every part of our life - from our relationships to our health.
    • Flight response is when we procrastinate or run away from people literally or figuratively. Freeze is when you are paralyzed in fear and trauma can lead to dissociation from the current moment.
    • All feelings are just memories of past experiences and imposter syndrome might be caused by a memory of feeling like you don't matter
    • The brain is easily fooled into thinking something is real when it may not be, which can lead to confirmation bias.
    • Emotional pain can feel just as painful as physical pain, and the brain views it as a threat.
    • What if feelings are actually your mind's way of trying to help you move back towards balance?

    Dr. Eugene K. Choi Pharm. D is a Transformational Mindset Coach and a board-certified clinical pharmacist that is on a mission to help talented heart-driven leaders operate at their highest levels of performance, intelligence, and communication. He firmly believes that by activating the powerful executive brain, it maximizes results not just in business leaders, but in humanity as a whole. His expertise has also resulted in him generating over 9 million views on his online articles and over 30 million views on his short films. He has also worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs to help them optimize their mindset and strategy in order to grow their businesses and generate more revenue and impact.

    The Best of 2022 - We talk about marketing strategies, stories that sell, and the mastermind concept. With Guests Duane Zingale and Kyle Gray
    We are doing a best-of episode with three of your favorite episodes for the year.

    So settle in and let’s get started!

    Stories

    First up, One of our most popular podcast episodes "If you can tell a good story, people will pay to hear it" With Guest Kyle Gray

    If you’re an entrepreneur you already know or will learn the lesson quickly that people connect with stories, it’s been that way since the beginning of mankind.

    Marketing

    Our other top-ranked episode was all about marketing and how marketing is about opening a relationship and NOT closing the deal with with my friend Duane Zingale

    The market is savvy, and people are getting smarter about marketing; which means the old tactics of a shark and the used car salesman won't work anymore.

    You can become more in tune with new ways of marketing by being curious or passionate about learning these skills.

    In this episode of the show, we talk with Duane about his philosophy that marketing is not about closing the deal, it's about opening a relationship and how we can automate this process. He believes that the art of marketing should always be framed in terms of relationships rather than transactions. We explore how to build trust through transparency and authenticity as well as how to use storytelling to create an emotional connection between your brand and your customers. This episode will give you practical strategies to help you manage your brand and humanize your business.

    You will learn a lot from this episode and how to apply it to your own business, side hustle, and personal life.

    The Power of Masterminds

    Finally, There's a seldom-discussed concept behind the success of every renowned athlete, famous musician, successful entrepreneur, or even business leader I know, and virtually everyone you can think of. 

    No, it isn't because they have an outstanding IQ or academic record, the right family name, or good looks.

    Here is the secret element - each of these people has surrounded themselves with other successful people, and they have all used the Mastermind Principle.

    A mastermind group sounds like something that would be the exclusive realm of super-successful people, but it’s not. It can actually help anyone who wants to make progress in any area of life, from improving your career to growing as a person.

    In fact, many people have found out they were using this tool without even realizing it! A mastermind group is simply two or more growth-minded individuals with goals and aspirations, meeting regularly to share information, ideas, and resources for mutual success.

    If your dream job or career doesn't exist, create it! With Guest Sahara Rose De Vore

    If your dream job or career doesn't exist, create it! With Guest Sahara Rose De Vore

    Today we get to talk with Sahara Rose, and that is exactly what she did. Sahara is a Wellness Travel Coach and the Founder of The Travel Coach Network. After traveling to 84 countries solo, Sahara saw voids and shortages in the tourism industry which led to her creating the world's very first platform for certified travel coaches around the world.

    Sahara is a TEDx speaker, published author, global speaker, and has been seen in 120+ media outlets for her expertise including Forbes, Business Insider, Conde Nast Traveller, and Travel Weekly.

    Traveling is one of the best ways to learn more about yourself and the world around you. It allows us to explore different cultures, try new things, and gain insight into ourselves that we never knew before.

    My Biggest Take Aways From This Episode:

    • Sahara Rose started her own travel coaching business to help others get the most out of their travel experiences
    • The biggest reasons people want to travel are to get off the beaten path, have new experiences, and find purpose
    • One of the biggest lessons that can be learned from travel is that happiness does not come from material possessions. This is evident in poor countries where the people are often some of the happiest you will ever meet.
    • Travel coaching is a way to help people reflect on what travel means to them and how they can use it to improve their lives.
    • The pandemic has caused many people to reevaluate their relationship with work and travel, and there is an increasing demand for remote work options that allow for more flexibility.
    • Travel coaching is a great way to start a side gig and can be done on your own time if you are certified.

    The REAL Reasons Why So Many Married Entrepreneurs Fail, With Robert and Kay Lee Fukui

    Our goal as married entrepreneurs should be to have a happy life AND a healthy business without killing each other. Right!

    Today I welcome Robert and Kay Lee Fukui to the podcast. Robert and Kay Lee run "Power Couples by Design" teaching us how to have a better balance between business and your marriage

    They have walked a mile in your shoes as a power couple.

    They have created tools that allow entrepreneurial couples—like us—to thrive and prosper under any circumstances.

    They host the top-rated "Power Up Your Marriage and Business" Podcast and their brand new book "Tandem" is being released this week.

    Here are a few of my Marriage/Entrepreneur mistakes in this episode:

    Part 2 - Discover What A Near Death Experience Taught Me About Sales, Success And Getting Business To Come To You - With Jeff Buehner

    Jeff has always known that he had an obligation to share this gift with as many people as possible before he retires, he has now made it a personal mission to share these secret's as far as he possibly can.

    Twenty-eight years ago, Jeff came across the writings of the richest man to ever walk the earth, Sultan Musa of Mali.

    No one’s ever come close to this guy, not Jeff Bezos and not Elon Musk.

    The Sultan could not talk openly about how he learned these secrets, so he embedded the principles of his success in a fairytale so compelling that centuries later nearly everyone in the world is familiar with it.

    Jeff went from a $60,000 a year concrete guy to making hundreds of thousands a month in a new business that just dropped into his lap.

    Over the past 28 years, Jeff has successfully mentored and coached countless others to speak this all-important language that changes everything.

    When you learn to speak the Language of the Gods, you can drastically improve your sales, success, fitness, relationships and anything else you desire. It’s all contained within Jeff's book, The Sultan’s Seven Secrets.

    The Gen Z Mindset On Success And Money With Guest Michael Boly

    The Gen Z Mindset On Success And Money With Guest Michael Boly

    This week we get to talk with Michael Boly about the mindset of the Gen Z and how it is different than my generation “Gen X”. 

    Michael is a podcaster, entrepreneur, and mindset enthusiast, passionate about expanding his capacity to enjoy life, and helping others do the same. At age 22, Michael’s belief in the power of perception has helped him generate over 200K in sales across his ventures (while in college!). 

    Now he focuses on helping Gen Z create the life they truly desire through his podcast called The Wealth Mindset Show.

    My biggest takeaways from our talk are:

    • Gen Zs are used to being judged and criticized online, which contributes to their scarcity mindset.
    • One piece of advice for people outside of Gen Z is to understand that they’re coming from a place where they’re constantly being judged by others.
    • The Importance of Work-life balance to Gen Zs

    So today we are thinking big about our success mindsets

    Why are the six human needs so important to understand?

    It is important to understand they are not goals nor merely desires, but profound needs that underlie and motivate every choice, every belief, and every decision we make.

    Because they are the driving force behind any person’s behavior, understanding the needs and vehicles used to meet them, we will better understand why life is the way it is currently and, more importantly, how to facilitate change.

    The 6 Human Needs Assessment finds your top core needs – and then explains how to improve and balance your life.

    There are 6 human needs that everyone has at varying levels. The 6 needs are CERTAINTY, UNCERTAINTY/VARIETY, SIGNIFICANCE, LOVE/CONNECTION, GROWTH, and finally CONTRIBUTION. Knowing ourselves, what drives us, and what our blind spots could be are incredibly important. This test was developed by Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes is a great way to get insight into ourselves.

    How "burning your boats" can skyrocket you to your goals

    How "burning your boats" can skyrocket you to your goals

    Achieving your goals can be tough. You may have a lot of competing priorities and it's easy to get discouraged.

    It's hard to stay motivated when you're not seeing progress. You may feel like you're stuck in a rut and don't know how to move forward.

    "Burning your boats" can help you achieve your goals faster than you ever thought possible.

    Hi! I'm Sean Osborn I'm a mindset strategist helping you find clarity, achieve growth, and make your impact on the world.

    There are two types of people in the world: those who take risks and those who don’t. The ones that do are rewarded with success, while the ones that don’t are doomed to a life of mediocrity.

    Some would say this is due to luck, or coincidence, but it's not. It's because when you stop being willing to retreat from your goals, you start moving forward towards them instead.

    Today we will look at how eliminating all sources of retreat can help you achieve your goals!

    1. What is the concept of "burning your boats".

    The concept of “burning boats” is often traced back to a story associated with the conquest of the Aztec Empire by Hernán Cortés. In 1519, 

    Hernán Cortés made the decision to burn the boats upon his arrival in Mexico, in order to motivate his men and discourage them from turning back. This act of desperation showed his determination to conquer the new land and demonstrated his faith in their success.

    He was about to send his armies against a powerful enemy, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them.”

    Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “you see the boats going up in smoke. That means we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win. We now have no choice, we win- or we perish". They won.

    2. How it can help you achieve your goals.

    When you want something bad enough, burning your boats is the push you need to make it happen. This phrase represents the point at which you refuse to turn back, abandon or retreat from any goal or vision. When you're no longer willing to give up on your goals, you start moving towards them instead.

    When you burn your boats, you're committing yourself completely to achieving your goal. There are no other options available to you – you have to succeed. This can be a major motivation booster, as it eliminates the possibility of failure.

    3. My boats were burned for me :)

    Let's say you want to start a business. This is a major goal that will require a lot of work and dedication. But what happens if you don't succeed? What happens if things don't go as planned?

    Most people have an escape hatch, a plan B, and end up retreating at this point. They would give up on their dream and go back to working a day job. But this is exactly when you need to "Burn Your Boats".

    4. What are the benefits of taking this kind of risk.

    Taking risks can be scary, but it's also incredibly rewarding. When you achieve something that you didn't think was possible, it feels amazing. You feel like you can conquer the world and nothing can stop you.

    On the other hand, not taking risks can be dangerous. Think about this, if you don't take risks, you are today all that you will ever be! NOW THAT'S A RISK.

    The phrase "burn your boats" is often used to represent the point at which you refuse to turn back, abandon or retreat from any goal or vision. When you burn your boats, you're essentially putting all of your eggs in one basket. You're committing yourself completely to achieving your goal.  There are no other options available to you –you have to succeed.

    This can be a major motivation booster as it eliminates the possibility of failure and spurs us on towards our goals even more than before! If this sounds like something that would motivate and inspire you then take some time today (or tomorrow) and start brainstorming what ships do you need to burn? What escape hatches do you have?

    I hope you enjoyed this blog post! If you're looking to achieve your goals, burning your boats is a great way to do it.
