Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why we need a personal board of advisors the
team that is guiding me Now.
This, I believe, will be one ofthe most impactful newsletters
I've done podcasts that I'vespoken about individually that
will allow you to rapidlytransform your life, meaning
going from the man you are nowto the man that you want to
(00:21):
become.
One of the biggest problemsthat I faced for a very long
time growing up was I didn'thave the right role models to
help me become the man I neededto be, and what that means is
ultimately learning the skillsthat I needed to developing the
right beliefs and confidencewithin myself, to know what I
want and how I can create that,and to build my risk tolerance
(00:44):
to try new things, because oneof the things that held me back
and how I can create that, andto build my risk tolerance to
try new things, because one ofthe things that held me back and
maybe you can relate was thefear of judgment, was the fear
of criticism, was the fear offailure and, more recently, the
fear of success, and these arevery common things for men out
there, and the problem of thiswas because of all of these
(01:05):
things, I was limited by mylocation, or I perceived I was.
I grew up in a town where therewas, about growing up, maybe
80,000 people, which for some ofyou may seem astronomical, as I
know there's some small townswhere there are just absolutely
no people, but you'll benefitfrom this and then there are
many of you who go, wow, that islike a blink and you'll miss it
(01:28):
kind of town, because you'vegrown up in cities where there's
hundreds, if not millions, ofpeople.
So that location really limitedme and because of that, I
thought that I became a productof my environment.
I didn't understand the time.
We lived in 2024, as I'mrecording, this is one of the
most exciting times.
(01:49):
You're watching this orlistening to this, or maybe
you've read this through mypodcast or through the YouTube
channel.
I personally have done the samethings with my board of
directors that I've been able tolearn from them take their
concepts, take their frameworksthat I believe are going to add
(02:09):
value to my life and then startimplementing that to create
change, and that has happenedacross all areas.
Now.
20 years ago that was notpossible, so it was a little bit
harder there.
Your location, meaning theenvironment that you set in the
town that you're in, definitelywas a limitation.
That is no longer the case Ifyou want to start building and
(02:32):
then grow out of it.
It was a huge problem that Ifaced not really leveraging that
online space for a very longtime.
So I was almost walking aloneand I was struggling for a bit
there and, as you guys, I guessthe cliche saying, as I always
say, cliche is a cliche for areason.
But we are heavily influenced bythose that we spend the most
(02:52):
time around.
So what we consume heavilyimpacts us and influences us.
So for me, I had to stopwatching or one day I realized I
should probably stop listeningto sad songs.
I still remember I used tolisten to bands like Sum 41 and
Green Day and AFI and a lot ofthose sorts of sad rock style
bands that sometimes they makeyou feel good, but a lot of the
(03:16):
time I actually walked awayfeeling sad.
You know it got me thinkingabout a breakup or not feeling
good enough, and that influencedhow I showed up in my life,
because we know that the levelof our energy, we know that our
mood, influences theopportunities that we see.
So if I was to continuelistening to that, it was only
going to pull me apart.
(03:36):
The next thing was like lookingat the news that just made me
feel crap all the time and beingaround negative people had to
distance that because that was awhole, I guess, a drawback in
my own success.
And it's important for us torecognize the environment that
we're putting ourselves in, whatwe're consuming.
Is that adding value to my life?
(03:57):
Is that moving me closer to thelife that I want or is it
holding me back?
And when you get really clearon the man that you wanna become
, when you get really clear onthe life that you wanna live,
this will help you makedecisions.
The decisions don't get easier.
You just are very clear on whyyou need to make a specific
decision if it means removingpeople from your life, et cetera
(04:19):
.
So a big pain point for mebefore learning and looking into
the board of the directors wasmoney.
It was something that I neverdiscussed.
It was something that I avoidedat all costs.
I never checked my bank account.
I tried not to, I guess, manageit until I'd get an alert from
the bank or I'd go to buysomething and the card would say
(04:41):
insufficient funds.
And because I put my head inthe sand, it only kept kicking
the can down the road and, aswith anything whether it's your
health, whether it's yourrelationship or whether it's
your finances if you put yourhead in the sand because it's
uncomfortable and you don't wantto, I guess, be more involved
in improving it, it's only gonnago one way and that is fucking
(05:03):
bad.
It is terrible.
What you track you can manage.
So if you're not looking atthose things, it will have an
impact and for me it startedstraining my relationships.
It strained, I guess, declinedand was detrimental to my own
self-esteem and self-worth,because I just knew I sucked
with money and I did not havemoney and I was using money as a
(05:26):
measuring stick of my success.
Now, it's quite funny that Iwould use that as a measuring
stick of my success, but I wouldnever track it and I wasn't
learning or looking to improveit.
Quite weird, very contradicting.
It wasn't until I was reallydiving into growing my own
(05:46):
business and wanting to becomemore of an entrepreneur that I
started learning about board ofadvisors and how a lot of
companies had them to help thecompany grow and be the best
that it could be, and it clickedfor me.
One day I thought if a businessdoes that and their goal is to
be the best that it can be, andit obviously has KPIs around
what that looks like.
(06:07):
Wouldn't it make sense for meto have a personal board of
advisors that are going to helpme live my best life and help me
, you know, thrive?
And that's where this wholeconcept and idea came from,
because I thought, okay,regardless of where in the world
I am, you know, ideally in thetown that I'm in, yeah, you want
to get some close friends and,ideally, some colleagues that
(06:29):
you can use as a board ofadvisor to brainstorm with, be
challenged with and test ideas.
But more so for me to grow intothe man that I want to be, I
know that I need to develop myskills.
I know that I need to startforming my own opinions.
I know that I need to behanging around and listening to
conversations that are talkingabout things that I don't
(06:51):
understand.
That will heavily influence mylife.
And so I started looking intobusiness, I started looking into
money, I started looking intohealth, I started looking into
relationships and, over time,what I've realized is that, as
I've gotten better with theseareas, I've noticed connections.
So, as I've understood businessmore, I've realized how some
(07:13):
things that I talk about inbusiness can benefit my
relationships.
As I've gone down the route orrabbit hole of learning how to
improve the relationship withmyself or with my wife, I've
recognized, hey, these lessonsare applicable to achieving my
training goals.
And the cool thing is is themore you think about it, the
more you learn from these vastareas.
You recognize you as anindividual is so powerful.
(07:34):
You have a lot of these skillsand understandings.
You just need to put it in away that you relate to, right.
So when I look at a personaladvisory board or collective, as
my framework is, you know, Iwould picture it as building a
team.
If you love Premier Leaguefootball, if you love hockey or
if you love NFL, over herethey're always trying to find
(07:56):
the right piece to the puzzle sothat they can have a
championship winning team.
Your personal advisorycollective is your championship
winning team.
Who needs to be on it tosupport you, to grow the
framework that I've got?
Now, if you're listening, graba pen and paper out or you can
head over tothemandthatcanprojectcom and
(08:16):
check out the newsletter.
Personal advisory board.
Now, the first one is identifykey areas of your life.
So these could be.
You know these are differentfor everyone, but for me if I
just go off the top of my head,sorry there's physical health,
there's mental health, there isfinances, there is love, there
is friendship okay and thenthere's spirituality.
(08:37):
Let's use those ones as anexample.
You can list out your own keyareas of life.
It may be less, but maybe more.
Whatever works for you.
This is you taking ownership,but I want you to determine
those areas of life that youwant to improve on.
So we move into step number two,which is research, the experts
in that space.
So find three to five expertsfor a specific space that you
(09:01):
can start learning from, andfrom that you're going to start
understanding which ones havemore similar beliefs or which
ones talk in a way that youenjoy, that you gravitate to.
An example would be who do Iwanna talk about health?
Let's talk about money.
So there's so many people whotalk about money.
You've got Robert Kiyosaki,you've got Grant Cardone, you've
(09:22):
got Dave Ramsey, for example,and I've listened to a lot of
all of their stuff.
I've read their books, I'velistened to their YouTubes and
their podcasts and I have spentdifferent, I guess, times with
them, learning how they thinkabout things and talk about
money, etc.
Right now, dave Ramsey issomeone who resonates with me
most.
The way that he talks hisbeliefs around money and what
(09:43):
he's creating suits the seasonof life that I'm in.
Okay, so research those expertstake bits and pieces, but I
think ultimately, after a littlebit of time, you will gravitate
more to one expert in that areaand I do believe you want to
get it down to one expert forsome focused learning, so that
you can not always becontradicted, because there's so
(10:03):
many differing opinions outthere that one day this person
could say the best way to createwealth is through the stock
market.
The next person, for example,grant Cardone, the best place to
build wealth real estate.
Then you could have someone inthe crypto space the best place
to build wealth crypto.
And then you're like well, whatam I supposed to do?
(10:26):
So what I do is I'll go all inon one person that I'm
resonating with and I'll do thatand I'll follow that and I'll
cut out and block out all theoutside noise and just do what
one person says in that specificfield until I achieve my
objective.
Okay, so I just want to recapquickly Point one identify the
key areas of your life that youcan improve areas of your life
(10:53):
that you can improve.
Number two research experts.
Number three consume theircontent.
So, as I said, engage with acouple of pieces of their
content.
You'll get a feel for them,whether you like them or you
don't.
Number four is select youradvisors.
So choose your favorite expertin each of the areas that you
have determined.
So I'm going to share with youmy new board of advisors in a
moment, if you watch till theend.
I have recently just changedmine, after about two and a half
(11:15):
three years.
I'd had a board and I consumeda lot of their content, read all
their books, went to theirevents, etc.
And it really helped me growand develop.
But, as with everything thatseason's done, I'm on to a new
one and there's some new peoplewith some new ideas and ways of
thinking that I'm really into.
So I've changed that board andI think it's important to
recognize that as you grow andevolve, other things in your
(11:36):
life need to grow with the times.
So, five there was lock in yourboard.
Number six learn weekly.
So learn regularly from thoseadvisors.
What I do is I subscribe tothem all on YouTube, all on
Spotify for the podcasts, and Itry to consume their content as
much as I possibly can.
So, depending on what yourlifestyle setup is, you will
(11:59):
have time allocated for personaldevelopment.
It may mean you can listen toone podcast a week, meaning
every week you get to listen toa different area that you want
to grow in, for example, or, ifyou have a little bit more time,
it may be every day.
Whatever works for yoursituation.
There's no right or wrong, butyou want to continue upskilling
so you get new ideas, you canform new opinions, you can try
(12:21):
different things to become moreefficient, to build better
results and to live a betterlife.
Number seven was implement onething that you learn every week.
This is a big one, because alot of people will continue
consuming content, but theydon't actually implement
anything, meaning they don'tcreate change in their life.
The only way you're going toimprove your life is by doing
(12:44):
something differently.
Okay, so the education part isthe first thing.
Right, knowledge is power.
They say it's like no knowledgeis potential power.
Acting on that is what cancreate those powerful results
for you.
And then the final point, eighthpoint, is refresh them.
(13:04):
As I mentioned, I update themand refresh them when I feel
like I need to learn fromsomeone else or get a new
perspective, okay.
So the reason why, as you'veprobably gathered, is you can be
a part of the conversationswith these people.
So, whether they run a podcastor are on other podcasts, you
can sit in the room like a flyon the wall and learn how they
would answer questions, how theythink about things, what their
(13:26):
journey has been like to achievespecific outcomes, and that in
itself helps you buildunderstanding.
That in itself helps you feelsupported.
That in itself helps you feellike you're capable of achieving
these things.
Or you may be fortunate tolisten to podcasts like this one
, where we actually teach youthings, as well as have the
guest episodes, so there arethings that you can like that
framework that I just gave you.
You can write that down andthen go and do that, okay, and
(13:49):
implement that for yourself.
So it's really powerful forthat.
The other thing is obviously thepositive mindset conditioning.
Listening to people who aretalking about the things that
you aspire to have is verymotivating, and we all lose
motivation.
You set a goal and, whetherit's a week later or 12 weeks
later, life laughs at us and itgets in the way and our
(14:12):
motivation declines.
And one of the common questionsI get is how do I remain
motivated?
Well, motivation comes when youget excited about something.
For me, it's like, wow, I'mmore looking for discipline.
How do I remain disciplined todo what I know I should be doing
so I can deliver the outcomesthat I want?
And, you know, listening toexperts and my board of advisors
(14:32):
is one way that really amps meup every morning and gets me
inspired to continue makingchange, continue growing the
podcast, continue coaching myclients.
Two final things I want to leaveyou with is, obviously, as you
start learning this, you canstart being more intentional
with your time.
It's very easy to feel likeyou're being productive by being
busy when that is just a trap.
(14:53):
When I talk about what youlearn you should be implementing
, it's because you need toimplement things that solve
problems in your life.
There's no point being thesmartest person this is my
opinion but knowing so muchabout things that aren't
actually directly influencing orimpacting the quality of your
life.
There are a lot of people whoknow a lot of random shit, but
(15:14):
their life sucks, and so what Irealized was the benefit in the
board of advisors was I waschoosing people and maybe even
micro niches that would help mesolve a specific problem in my
life so that I could have abetter outcome.
So I want to give you an overallexample.
The example of this could be inthe beginning you could go
health, wealth, relationship andhappiness as your four buckets.
(15:36):
Now, as you start to get a verygood understanding of health or
of wealth, or of happiness, etcetera, you might go into some
micro podcasts.
So you might start then lookingat Andrew Hoopman, for example,
who talks on some very nichehealth topics and stuff that
most people don't really careabout.
(15:57):
But you may be at the point inyour life or looking for answers
where you're like that is whatI want, and that's the cool
thing about, I guess, continuingto learn over a long period of
time.
You start broad and then youfind out where your interests
are or where your problems areand you start to solve those
specifically and you get betterresults.
And the second thing to wrap itup is, as you continue doing
(16:20):
this, you will become moreefficient.
So this is how we get time backwhen you have understanding,
you implement things and youlook at your life holistically,
you'll start seeing theconnections and what you've
learned over in health will beable to help you in business and
vice versa, and you'll reallybe able to understand yourself A
lot of the reason.
And I see a lot of blokes andI've actually worked with a lot
(16:42):
of men where their life sucks.
They have the success, but it'sput strain on their
relationship.
And when I say success I meancareer.
They're killing it in theircareer, but it's putting strain
on the household.
Their health is shot, they'resuper run down, they don't feel
comfortable with their shirt offand they haven't taken the
(17:03):
lessons from business or theircareer success into other areas
of their life.
So what happens when you lookat that?
If I were to give you theexample, the example of this is
that in order to grow yourcareer, you've got to build
network, meaning you've got toshow up, you've got to excel,
you've got to continue growing.
You show up even when you'resick.
(17:23):
People won't show up for theirfamily when they're stressed or
when they're sick.
People won't show up at the gymonce again when they're
stressed or when they're sick orthey're tired.
Their standards aren't quitethere.
So when you start recognizinghey, the reason why I've
excelled in this area.
If I do those exact same thingsover here meaning not the
actual actions, but maintain thesame standards, I will achieve
(17:45):
a better outcome.
Thank you guys for listening.
As always, do something todayto be better for tomorrow.
I'd love to hear from you guys.
If you're listening on Spotifyor drop it in the comments,
shoot me an email on Instagramor on Twitter.
What topics do you want to heartalking about, or just share
some questions with me.
Ask me some questions that Ican do the weekly newsletter on,
(18:08):
because I've got so many backedup that I'm going to be pushing
out.
But if there's something thatyou need help with specifically,
just reach out and ask.
Have a great day.
Remember, leave a rating andreview, share this with someone
that you know will get valuefrom it, and I will see you next
Thursday.

You know these are differentfor everyone, but for me if I
just go off the top of my head,sorry there's physical health,
there's mental health, there isfinances, there is love, there
is friendship okay and thenthere's spirituality.
(08:37):
Let's use those ones as anexample.
You can list out your own keyareas of life.
It may be less, but maybe more.
Whatever works for you.
This is you taking ownership,but I want you to determine
those areas of life that youwant to improve on.
So we move into step number two,which is research, the experts
in that space.
So find three to five expertsfor a specific space that you
(09:01):
can start learning from, andfrom that you're going to start
understanding which ones havemore similar beliefs or which
ones talk in a way that youenjoy, that you gravitate to.
An example would be who do Iwanna talk about health?
Let's talk about money.
So there's so many people whotalk about money.
You've got Robert Kiyosaki,you've got Grant Cardone, you've
(09:22):
got Dave Ramsey, for example,and I've listened to a lot of
all of their stuff.
I've read their books, I'velistened to their YouTubes and
their podcasts and I have spentdifferent, I guess, times with
them, learning how they thinkabout things and talk about
money, etc.
Right now, dave Ramsey issomeone who resonates with me
most.
The way that he talks hisbeliefs around money and what
(09:43):
he's creating suits the seasonof life that I'm in.
Okay, so research those expertstake bits and pieces, but I
think ultimately, after a littlebit of time, you will gravitate
more to one expert in that areaand I do believe you want to
get it down to one expert forsome focused learning, so that
you can not always becontradicted, because there's so
(10:03):
many differing opinions outthere that one day this person
could say the best way to createwealth is through the stock
market.
The next person, for example,grant Cardone, the best place to
build wealth real estate.
Then you could have someone inthe crypto space the best place
to build wealth crypto.
And then you're like well, whatam I supposed to do?
(10:26):
So what I do is I'll go all inon one person that I'm
resonating with and I'll do thatand I'll follow that and I'll
cut out and block out all theoutside noise and just do what
one person says in that specificfield until I achieve my
objective.
Okay, so I just want to recapquickly Point one identify the
key areas of your life that youcan improve areas of your life
(10:53):
that you can improve.
Number two research experts.
Number three consume theircontent.
So, as I said, engage with acouple of pieces of their
content.
You'll get a feel for them,whether you like them or you
don't.
Number four is select youradvisors.
So choose your favorite expertin each of the areas that you
have determined.
So I'm going to share with youmy new board of advisors in a
moment, if you watch till theend.
I have recently just changedmine, after about two and a half
(11:15):
three years.
I'd had a board and I consumeda lot of their content, read all
their books, went to theirevents, etc.
And it really helped me growand develop.
But, as with everything thatseason's done, I'm on to a new
one and there's some new peoplewith some new ideas and ways of
thinking that I'm really into.
So I've changed that board andI think it's important to
recognize that as you grow andevolve, other things in your
(11:36):
life need to grow with the times.
So, five there was lock in yourboard.
Number six learn weekly.
So learn regularly from thoseadvisors.
What I do is I subscribe tothem all on YouTube, all on
Spotify for the podcasts, and Itry to consume their content as
much as I possibly can.
So, depending on what yourlifestyle setup is, you will
(11:59):
have time allocated for personaldevelopment.
It may mean you can listen toone podcast a week, meaning
every week you get to listen toa different area that you want
to grow in, for example, or, ifyou have a little bit more time,
it may be every day.
Whatever works for yoursituation.
There's no right or wrong, butyou want to continue upskilling
so you get new ideas, you canform new opinions, you can try
(12:21):
different things to become moreefficient, to build better
results and to live a betterlife.
Number seven was implement onething that you learn every week.
This is a big one, because alot of people will continue
consuming content, but theydon't actually implement
anything, meaning they don'tcreate change in their life.
The only way you're going toimprove your life is by doing
(12:44):
something differently.
Okay, so the education part isthe first thing.
Right, knowledge is power.
They say it's like no knowledgeis potential power.
Acting on that is what cancreate those powerful results
for you.
And then the final point, eighthpoint, is refresh them.
(13:04):
As I mentioned, I update themand refresh them when I feel
like I need to learn fromsomeone else or get a new
perspective, okay.
So the reason why, as you'veprobably gathered, is you can be
a part of the conversationswith these people.
So, whether they run a podcastor are on other podcasts, you
can sit in the room like a flyon the wall and learn how they
would answer questions, how theythink about things, what their
(13:26):
journey has been like to achievespecific outcomes, and that in
itself helps you buildunderstanding.
That in itself helps you feelsupported.
That in itself helps you feellike you're capable of achieving
these things.
Or you may be fortunate tolisten to podcasts like this one
, where we actually teach youthings, as well as have the
guest episodes, so there arethings that you can like that
framework that I just gave you.
You can write that down andthen go and do that, okay, and
(13:49):
implement that for yourself.
So it's really powerful forthat.
The other thing is obviously thepositive mindset conditioning.
Listening to people who aretalking about the things that
you aspire to have is verymotivating, and we all lose
motivation.
You set a goal and, whetherit's a week later or 12 weeks
later, life laughs at us and itgets in the way and our
(14:12):
motivation declines.
And one of the common questionsI get is how do I remain
motivated?
Well, motivation comes when youget excited about something.
For me, it's like, wow, I'mmore looking for discipline.
How do I remain disciplined todo what I know I should be doing
so I can deliver the outcomesthat I want?
And, you know, listening toexperts and my board of advisors
(14:32):
is one way that really amps meup every morning and gets me
inspired to continue makingchange, continue growing the
podcast, continue coaching myclients.
Two final things I want to leaveyou with is, obviously, as you
start learning this, you canstart being more intentional
with your time.
It's very easy to feel likeyou're being productive by being
busy when that is just a trap.
(14:53):
When I talk about what youlearn you should be implementing
, it's because you need toimplement things that solve
problems in your life.
There's no point being thesmartest person this is my
opinion but knowing so muchabout things that aren't
actually directly influencing orimpacting the quality of your
life.
There are a lot of people whoknow a lot of random shit, but
(15:14):
their life sucks, and so what Irealized was the benefit in the
board of advisors was I waschoosing people and maybe even
micro niches that would help mesolve a specific problem in my
life so that I could have abetter outcome.
So I want to give you an overallexample.
The example of this could be inthe beginning you could go
health, wealth, relationship andhappiness as your four buckets.
(15:36):
Now, as you start to get a verygood understanding of health or
of wealth, or of happiness, etcetera, you might go into some
micro podcasts.
So you might start then lookingat Andrew Hoopman, for example,
who talks on some very nichehealth topics and stuff that
most people don't really careabout.
(15:57):
But you may be at the point inyour life or looking for answers
where you're like that is whatI want, and that's the cool
thing about, I guess, continuingto learn over a long period of
time.
You start broad and then youfind out where your interests
are or where your problems areand you start to solve those
specifically and you get betterresults.
And the second thing to wrap itup is, as you continue doing
(16:20):
this, you will become moreefficient.
So this is how we get time backwhen you have understanding,
you implement things and youlook at your life holistically,
you'll start seeing theconnections and what you've
learned over in health will beable to help you in business and
vice versa, and you'll reallybe able to understand yourself A
lot of the reason.
And I see a lot of blokes andI've actually worked with a lot
(16:42):
of men where their life sucks.
They have the success, but it'sput strain on their
relationship.
And when I say success I meancareer.
They're killing it in theircareer, but it's putting strain
on the household.
Their health is shot, they'resuper run down, they don't feel
comfortable with their shirt offand they haven't taken the
(17:03):
lessons from business or theircareer success into other areas
of their life.
So what happens when you lookat that?
If I were to give you theexample, the example of this is
that in order to grow yourcareer, you've got to build
network, meaning you've got toshow up, you've got to excel,
you've got to continue growing.
You show up even when you'resick.
(17:23):
People won't show up for theirfamily when they're stressed or
when they're sick.
People won't show up at the gymonce again when they're
stressed or when they're sick orthey're tired.
Their standards aren't quitethere.
So when you start recognizinghey, the reason why I've
excelled in this area.
If I do those exact same thingsover here meaning not the
actual actions, but maintain thesame standards, I will achieve
(17:45):
a better outcome.
Thank you guys for listening.
As always, do something todayto be better for tomorrow.
I'd love to hear from you guys.
