85. Ego: Use It To Your Advantage 10/26/2022

85. Ego: Use It To Your Advantage Let’s face it, we all have little quirks or do things we maybe shouldn’t do throughout the day. For example, have you ever found yourself gazing through the fridge without even being hungry? Perhaps you incessantly check your email just to see if there's anything new. Or maybe you have engaged in the act of gossiping behind someone's back. Moments like these (and countless others) in our daily lives all have something in common. Can you guess what it is? The answer may surprise you. When you take a deeper look into psychology and learn more about why humans do what they do, you’ll discover the reason that we engage in these types of behaviors is because of our ego. Our ego is so much more than just something that gives you the “feeling” of confidence. It’s actually one of the most powerful forces that can make or break the course of our future. Welcome back to another episode of the Unlimited Potential show! During episode 83, Dr. Ram and Chris have a deep-dive conversation all about this topic and define exactly what the ego is. We outline the unexpected ways ego can manifest in your life, and we also provide some simple ways to keep your ego at bay if it turns toxic. This is one of the episodes you can put on the “power playlist” for the show. Even if this is the only episode you ever listen to, understanding these concepts and learning how to apply the life principles discussed in today’s episode can help unlock your next level of success and higher consciousness. We hope you enjoy and re-listen to it as much as we are. After you’re finished with today’s show, it’s time to take action!

83. When: The Scientific Truth Behind Time Mastery Time isn't the main thing, it's the only thing. - Miles Davis A few weeks ago we did an episode on motivation and we covered some of the major points from a keynote speech Dr. Ram heard from Daniel Pink. He was so fascinated by some of the concepts that he talked about during the event, he had to dig deeper specifically into one of his books called “When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing.” Today we are going to cover the main takeaways you need to know to unlock your Unlimited Potential! If you haven’t already read When here is some context about the book. It was published in 2018, and the book is made of data and research he gathered through 700 different scientific studies to get a better understanding of how big of a role timing plays in our life. He looked at the different facets of society and culture in fields like economics, anthropology, social psychology, and others. And his goal was to give us a look as to why we make the decisions we do. But not only that. When we make these decisions, why we make them when we do rather.

76. The Art of Listening Part 1 Welcome to the Unlimited Potential Show! Today we are going to cover one of the most underrated skills in 2022… That skill is LISTENING! If you're looking for ways to strengthen your relationship, perhaps you're trying to gain better influence over your team, or maybe you simply want to become a better conversationalist. Whatever your current goals are, this series will definitely help you get there! It may sound funny to explain listening on a podcast, but we believe that this one episode has the ability to up-level your business, personal relationships, and even the way you speak to yourself and create habits. Listening and learning how to hear what others are saying is a skill that you would assume would be natural for most humans. However, very rarely can someone say that “listening” was intentionally taught to them in a school setting, a family setting, or even a church setting… The reason is simple. Most people (even our leaders) probably don’t know the importance of listening or even how to do it themselves. Don’t get us wrong…we aren’t pros at the listening and empathy game just yet, but we are actively developing the skill every day. You should too! Hit play to hear our thoughts on listening, what human Psychology and research has to say about the Art of Listening, the monetary benefits of listening and so much more!

64. The 80/20 Principle: Upgrade Your Impact By Focusing on The Right Things 04/13/2022

64. The 80/20 Principle: Upgrade Your Impact By Focusing on The Right Things “We all get 24 hours in a day…it’s up to us as to what we do with those 24 hours.” - Sam Huff You may have heard that quote before, maybe in a different way or from another person, but the message remains the same. We have the same 24 hours that the most successful people in the world have, so what’s the difference between them and us? Before you say “money” or “connections”, think about this. Where are you wasting time the most? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed and drained by your schedule, or you’ve felt like the amount of work you are putting day in and day out is not creating the results you want, then hit play. Because today we uncover the best way to achieve more by doing less in every area of your life. Welcome back to the Unlimited Potential Show! In today’s episode, we talk all about the 80/20 principle and how it can save you time, effort, and frustration. This isn’t just some hack or genie in a bottle that promises results with no rewards. This principle is already at work in your life, you just may not have noticed it yet. Did you know that most companies make 80% of their profit from 20% of their clients and that 80% of their clients only bring in 20% of the profit? It sounds crazy but it’s true. If companies spent more time on the 20% that was buying and less time on the 80% that wasn’t, then logically, it’s safe to say their profits would increase. However, this principle goes deeper than just business and products. Join us as we talk about how you can find the 20% in your life and start making the impact you’ve always dreamed of. From work to passions and even relationships, you’ll get actionable steps to pinpoint the priorities in your life and start focusing on the stuff that matters. You’ll hear real-life examples of how the 80/20 principle has made a more fulfilling and intentional life for so many people. So, why not you too? You ready? Let’s go!

Today, we take a dive into the movie that won Will Smith his first oscar, along with our thoughts on this viral moment. Welcome back to the Unlimited Potential Show! Whether you saw it happen live, caught it on social media the next day, or you couldn’t care less about Hollywood, it’s safe to say the moment was shocking. On today’s episode, we briefly talk about the incident at the Oscars, the responsibility actors have when it comes to their personal lives, and our thoughts and official review on the powerful movie that is King Richard. SPOILER ALERT!: We talk about specific scenes from the movie and what it taught us about creating and planning for success! If you haven’t seen this movie, but it’s on your to-do list, you may want to skip over a few sections. Either way, we hope you enjoy this episode and watch King Richard during your next movie night. Though Will acted impulsively that night, his character Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, was anything but impulsive. Join us as we talk about Richard's uncompromising conviction in the movie, the simple 4 step framework that supports this “whatever it takes” mentality, and the lessons we can learn from those who have walked the path of success. In the movie, King Richard has a step-by-step plan written out before his daughters are even born. His laser focus and expectations for their future teach us the importance of clarifying your vision and creating actionable steps to reach your goals. Listen in as we talk about the power of persistence, conviction, and belief and how Richard used these concepts to instill lasting values, balance, and humility into each of his daughters. Leading them to become some of the most successful athletes in the world. We were blown away by the subtle lessons we learned from the King Richard movie and hope this encourages you to tap into your Unlimited Potential and go after your dreams with everything you have.
