Begin harnessing the power of your brain's natural capcities to make your goals a reality. 

In this episode, I talk with Tanya Tarr, MS, NBC-HWC, behavioral scientist and executive health coach. She's studied human behavior for over 20 years and her insights will help you understand the "cheat codes" to help your brain help you achieve your goals. 

In this episode we talk about: 

  • How our brain is the "original algorithm"--whatever we feed it (negativity, self criticism, positivity, self confidence), we get more of 
  • Why some positive affirmations don't work--we need to affirm ourselves based on things we have already accomplished rather than what we haven't
  • How to access the "cheat codes" for the brain--which will help you increase the chances that you'll get to your goals 
  • The evidence and science behind how high performing individuals--olympians, entertainers, etc--stay at that high performing level for the long term 
  • The value of a "reset" for your body and mind 
  • How consistent, incremental progress helps you get to your goal 
  • Practical examples of what these actions look like in real life and related to personal finances
  • What "manifestation" and "the law of attraction" misses and how to use research based insights to help what you want in life to materialize

If you're interested in getting to your financial goals in an authentic way--and like a little humor too--this episode is for you!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
