909 | Why Being Delusional Might Be Your Best Strategy
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I discuss a question: What if being delusional is your best strategy? I explore the idea that to be an entrepreneur, you often need to hold beliefs that may not align with current reality. This "delusional" mindset allows you to envision possibilities that others may not see, which is crucial when you're building a business, writing a book, or creating something new. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that not everyone is meant to understand your vision, and that's perfectly okay. I encourage listeners to gather evidence of their past successes and to shift their definitions...

907 | When Your Confidence Makes Others Shrink

In this episode, I share thoughts on how our confidence can sometimes trigger the insecurities of those around us, leading them to shrink back instead of celebrating our growth. This dynamic is rooted in our individual beliefs and past experiences, which shape how we perceive the world. If our confidence makes someone else shrink, they were never truly cheering for us in the first place. Bless and release and thank them for the role they have played in your life.

904 | Can You Allow Others to Hold Your Vision With You?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the process of embracing big visions and the fears that often accompany them. I start by sharing a personal anecdote from 2016 when I first received the idea to write my solo book.

I reflect on my experience with launching my NLP coaching certification, Outspoken, where I had to build everything from scratch without any proof of concept. A mentor pointed out the difference between that experience and my current...

info_outlineIn this episode, we speak with CEO Ian Clarke. At 46, Ian was bankrupt and given 1000 days left to live. 5 years later, he survived and built a raw supplement business direct to consumers from his basement which reached hundreds of thousands of people in 2 years. He hopes to share this wild story of how it happened, what the business did, how he used it to escape early death, and how others can learn how to manage and heal their own body. Ian is the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Activation Products (Can) Inc. and has built a solid reputation for valuable research in the natural health space developing the most effective protocols and products that support natural healing.
Now at the age of 65, his health and energy levels are better than when he was 25 years old but this was not the case in 2004. At the age of forty-six, two significant life-threatening health issues hit him in the same year! It was during 2004-2007 that as a husband and father of seven children, he sought out the most effective health products for natural healing to avoid medical operations and drugs. In 2007, Activation Products was founded with his wife and seven children. Over the last 16 years, he has enjoyed a wonderful health transformation for himself, his family, and literally hundreds of thousands of Activation clients internationally, and more need to know how to heal their own bodies.
In this episode, we discuss:
1) Ian shares his incredibly powerful story about healing himself, and escaping an early death with a myriad of health issues by getting curious, asking questions, becoming a seeker, and implementing the changes to amplify his quality of health and his life overall.
2) When you change your physiology, you change your emotions, which is energy in motion, this changes your thoughts, which changes your beliefs, your behaviours, your results, and in turn your physiology, and that continues to repeat the cycle.
