This Week's Guest, Bogdan Micov, says what if POWER didn’t feel like a sprint, a grind, or a clenched jaw? We sit down with transformation expert Bogdan Micov to unpack calm power—the inner state where real performance lives. Instead of pushing harder and burning out, Bogdan shows how clarity, presence, and responsibility create leverage that force never can.
We trace results back to behavior, behavior back to emotional state, and emotional state back to meaning-making. Thoughts are neutral until your filters—deletion, distortion, and generalization—assign a story. Change the story and the chemistry changes too. Bogdan walks us through practical reframes you can use in real time, like turning road rage into curiosity by recognizing “I don’t know what I don’t know.” The payoff is immediate: less cortisol, more choice, better decisions. He also explains why common coping tactics can soothe but rarely stick, and why deletion—removing stored emotional charge and unhelpful beliefs—creates permanent freedom.
Bogdan’s method was forged after a stroke at 33 forced a full-life reset. He left high-pressure hospitality leadership and immersed in NLP, hypnosis, timeline and parts work, cognitive-behavioral science, and breath traditions from Hawaii and Tibetan practice. The result is the Be Relentless method, built to locate and clear root causes fast so high performers, entrepreneurs, and leaders can execute without the emotional drag. We dig into language as a performance tool—why saying “not easy” beats “hard,” and how calling stress a verb (stressing) puts you back in the driver’s seat.
If you’re ready to stop stacking hacks and start removing what’s in the way, this conversation will give you a clear map: take responsibility for meaning, interrupt the old strategy, and remember who you were before you forgot. Subscribe for more conversations on mindset, performance, and emotional freedom, and share this with someone who could use more calm power today.

SPEAKER_02 (00:44):
Real estate marketing in real life.
We all learn it.
If you think about it, WayneNick might not attract everybody
and everything in between.
SPEAKER_00 (00:58):
Mission was really to help people just to reach
their full potential.
The Brad Wiseman show.
And now your host, Brad Wiseman.
SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
All right.
Oh man.
We have a good show.
Another good show.
Here we go.
SPEAKER_03 (01:12):
I'm excited.
I'm excited for it.
SPEAKER_02 (01:13):
Another good show.
It's um, this is just gonna bereally different.
I don't think we've anybody onthe show that was doing the
things that this guy is doing.
It's called the psychology ofcalm power.
You know, you know there's timeswhere you feel like anxiety or
fear, like anxious or whatever,things like that.
Sometimes there's just thingsthat happen in your life that
maybe are traumatic and you'retrying to maybe deal with it or
(01:37):
you're you're not able to dealwith it.
This guy here I've seen onInstagram where he talks people
through how to cope or how tolike, he calls it deleting it.
I think he you just delete thesetypes of things from your mind.
He talks about stress too.
We all get stress every day.
SPEAKER_03 (01:51):
That's right.
SPEAKER_02 (01:51):
And he talks about that and how we can um delete
that out of our lives and out ofour emotions.
So his name is Bogdan Mikoff.
He's joining us from Bali.
Um I think they're like fouro'clock in the morning right
now, which is crazy.
Um, but uh yeah, Bogdan, uh, howare you doing, man?
SPEAKER_01 (02:10):
Oh, I'm alive and blessed.
I'm so happy to be here, Brad.
I'm so happy to be here.
Doing really well, really well.
It's late or early hours.
SPEAKER_02 (02:20):
Yeah, you know what's funny?
I think you're the one of thefurthest.
We did Australia, though.
We had somebody off fromAustralia.
So this is uh yeah, you're faraway.
You're really far away, andyou're you're up early in the
morning.
SPEAKER_01 (02:32):
I haven't even gone to sleep.
You didn't go to sleep.
You look pretty good for notsleeping, I gotta say.
Yeah, I I try, I try to be.
SPEAKER_02 (02:40):
Try to be.
That's funny.
So, yeah, let's get into this.
You you have what what was onyour information was psychology,
psychology of calm power.
And when it's funny, when youhear those two words together,
it's kind of like they'reoxymorons.
Like, you know, the word calmand the word power typically are
not used in the same sentence.
SPEAKER_01 (03:02):
Yeah, it's not used because we are conditioned to
label certain words with acertain meaning.
Yeah, and many people will goingto uh slap a meaning on the word
power, like something that needsto be strong, something that
(03:24):
needs to go through suffer, orsomething that needs to go all
over the top.
While the true power reallycomes from calmness, from
clarity, from from knowingyourself, from congruence in
everything that you do in life.
And power comes from there.
Everything else that goes hardpush through is just a force.
(03:46):
We are forcing it.
So I don't know if you have beenfamiliar with Dr.
David Hawkins, he has a greatbook uh uh written on it, Power
versus Force.
Yeah, and if you survive thefirst three chapters, then you
will want to be addicted to thebook.
Uh but um it's actually that.
(04:06):
So most of the people want toact like they're power,
powerful, and they're justmasking their own insecurities
by forcing a certain image ofthemselves that is not truly
them.
So when you come to the point ofwhy I say it like calm power,
(04:26):
uh, first it's intriguing,right?
Yeah, very second thing is thinkabout it that this way if you
have a certain task or a projectto finish, how are you gonna
perform better when you'reconsistently stressed or anxious
or angry or even feeling guiltyabout certain things, or when
(04:49):
you're coming from a place ofpeace, calm, where frontal
cortex works properly,intelligence works properly, and
you can find a solution foranything that comes your way.
Yeah, when are you going toperform better?
Well, I will I will put all mymoney on calmness.
SPEAKER_02 (05:07):
Absolutely, clear mind.
Clear mind, calmness, peace.
Yeah, I mean, I agree with you100%.
When you when you enter anysituation with force or trying
to overpower or trying to doanything like that, it doesn't
work out.
SPEAKER_01 (05:25):
It doesn't work out.
Think about the highestperformance, let's say
professional athletes in in thesport of in the uh world of
sport.
What happens?
Look people that I have been youknow enjoying watching
throughout my life, someone likeMichael Jordan or someone like
Kobe Bryant or in UFC uh GSP,for example.
(05:52):
Those people were not operatingfrom peer, from fear or anger,
or they were not that there wasno trash talk.
There is no, so it was kind ofthere was no excitement about
what's coming, and at the sametime, there is no negative
emotion behind.
That's why they were performingthe way they were performing.
Simply, they don't drain energy,they don't waste fuel giving it
(06:18):
to those negative emotions thatare that are running uh in
behind.
They kind of learned consciouslyor unconsciously in a way that
it doesn't serve them a purpose.
SPEAKER_02 (06:29):
Well, if we're somebody that normally does that
though, or normally comes into asituation with you know being
let's just say headstrong or orpowerful or things are gonna how
how do you how do you train orhow do you tell somebody or how
do you get to that place ofcalm?
Is it is it deep breaths in andout?
Is it like what do you do to getto a calm place?
(06:51):
I mean, you know, things happenin life that get us excited or
get us, you know, a littleworked up.
I mean, somebody cuts you off intraffic and it's really tough to
come from calm in those moments.
You know, so you know, you know,obviously we're always
practicing this and we're humanand we're not perfect, but what
are the things that you do totry and keep yourself in that
calm mode?
SPEAKER_01 (07:11):
I mean, you're completely right.
There is so many differentmodalities and so many different
ways how to actually calm uhyour TPM tot per minute index or
just to come ground yourself alittle bit.
Many of them are just the copingmechanisms, yeah, right?
They don't really help.
I mean, you can actually do abox breeding or whatever people
(07:32):
were going to teach you.
You can do certain types ofmeditation, you can do, I don't
know, ice bots, you can do umaffirmations, so all of that.
But that's kind of a temporary.
Now we need to understand firstwhere emotion comes so we can
actually deal with itpermanently.
So let's let's take it, let'ssay reverse engineering.
(07:54):
Results in life, no matter whattype of results or in which area
in life.
And they can be results that welike or results that we don't
like.
And we usually we call themproblems, right?
Now, in my world, I don't wantto even use the word problem, so
I call it results that we don'tlike.
(08:14):
Where results are coming from?
Results are directly uhcodependent on our sum total of
behaviors, which means thingsthat we do and things that we
don't do.
So if we do certain things in acertain way, we're gonna have
one type of results.
SPEAKER_02 (08:31):
Let's just I just want to just back up real quick
because I want people to getwhat you said there before, is
that we call things a lot oftimes, people call things
something that happens aproblem.
Okay, yeah, and I think I justwant to make sure we're very
clear on what you called it, isbecause we label it as a
problem, and all it is is aresult, it's an outcome, right?
(08:54):
It's an outcome.
Okay, I just want to make surewe're that we're clear on that.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (08:58):
You like it or you don't like it, right?
That's your thing, right?
But uh, if for some people, ifsomething happens, it'll be a
good thing, for for otherpeople, it will not gonna be a
good thing, right?
And it's all a matter ofperception.
So when it comes to that point,that's it, the results coming
from the sum total of behaviors.
And now, by all the logic, if wewant to change our results in
(09:19):
life, we need to change thebehavior, right?
But how easy or how difficult isthat to be done?
We see so many people, they wantto lose weight, they go, they
pay a coach, they go and uh theyuh pay the gym and they get on a
diet and they do it for twoweeks and they relapse back in
the same thing, right?
So there is something that isdriving the behavior.
(09:40):
So, what is driving thebehavior?
It's the state or our emotionalstate of mind.
Fearful person presentsdifferent behavior than fearless
person, calm person presentsdifferent behavior than anxious
person, etc.
etc.
So our emotional state drivesour behavior directly.
(10:05):
And now here is the answer toyour question: where is our
emotion coming?
Why someone cut us off and weget angry or anything like uh
you mentioned?
Well, our thinking directlyimpacts our emotions, or even
(10:25):
more precisely said, themeaning-making process, the
meaning that we assign on ourthoughts will go to determine
are we going to have positive ora negative emotion?
So thoughts in general is justthe data, it's just a picture in
the head or anything uh like uhis it visual, kinesthetic, uh,
(10:49):
auditory, it doesn't reallymatter.
But and they're neutral is a rawsensory data.
But we are the meaning makers,and we assign the meaning into
that.
I can tell you like simpleexample.
If you go in Spain in Ibiza andyou go on the beach, you will
see topless all over, right?
(11:10):
No one notices, no one judgesthis, no, it's completely
normal.
But if you do that same thing inSaudi Arabia or in Dubai, you go
in jail.
So who is wrong and who isright?
Interesting.
There is no wrong or right, butit's a different meaning.
In one country, they will saythis is normal, in another
country, another environment,they will go say this is haram,
(11:33):
this is sin, this is this is notuh not good.
So the person that takes it asthis is a sin to be committed
and is wrong, he'll want toproduce a negative emotion and
start developing hate, anger,whatever, put them in jail,
while the other one will bejoyful and enjoy their time and
don't even bother themselveswith that at all.
So that's the emotion.
(11:53):
Now there is a step behind aswell.
What creates our meaning-makingprocess?
Meaning making process is just afiltering process, filtering
data, which is filter uh threefilters deleting, distorting,
and generalizing.
What are the three again?
Can you say what are the threeagain?
Three filters deleting, uh-huh.
(12:14):
Deleting, distorting, andgeneralizing.
And generalizing, okay.
And generalizing.
Those are three differentfilters, internal filters that
our mind takes it through, so wemake a meaning out something.
So that meaning-making processor that filtering, it's our
conditioning or our programmingthat comes from the moment we
were born and we startedlearning, which means those are
(12:37):
only learnings.
And in that meaning-makingprocess, you have our needs, our
values, our beliefs, our drivingquestions, and everything that
comes through it.
So if we really want to make apermanent change, we need to
work on the conditioning, andthat's the part the to retweak
(12:58):
or retune those filters towardssomething that serves us a
purpose more.
And yeah, how does it so if youtell me how do I stay calm in
the situation in the traffic orsomething else?
Look, I'm not gonna lie, I'm notall the time calm.
I will get triggered, but then Irecognize it.
(13:21):
This is it's in awareness.
I recognize it.
And I was like, what am Ifocusing on right now in the
moment?
And then you notice that themeaning in that moment is, oh,
this guy is an idiot, he'scareless, he's do, oh blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And you get spiraling into thatemotion.
While I can change the meaningon spot, I was like, Well, I
don't know what I don't know.
Maybe the guy is driving apregnant lady inside of the car
(13:46):
and rushing towards thehospital.
Or maybe something happened, heneeds to be there for his
children or her children outthere.
Who am I to judge?
And how am I even helpingmyself?
He just passed it.
He's already out in the wind.
Uh, if I keep on being angry,how does that serve me?
I just destroyed my day.
SPEAKER_02 (14:07):
Yeah.
No, it's it's true.
And we do that.
You know, we something happenslike that, and it and it does.
And for many people, it couldruin their for the next two,
three hours or a whole day.
Just because they keep they keepuh re-rehashing that same thing
that happened over and over.
And it's not just in traffic,it's with anything in life.
You know, there's certain thingsuh that happen every day to us,
you know, and it's just allabout how we reframe it, how we
(14:29):
what the result, like you saidbefore, I love the whole thing,
is it's a result.
We we put the result as aproblem, or we put the result,
the result was the guy cut youoff.
That's really all it was.
It wasn't him trying to be ajerk to you.
It wasn't trying, he was just hewas in a hurry and whatever.
So it's it's it's it's aninteresting way of looking at
things.
SPEAKER_01 (14:46):
You just took it personally, you kind of identify
yourself with that circumstanceor with that situation, and
because it goes against yourbelief system that this is
wrong, straight away thatinitiates a certain negative
emotion.
In this moment, it will be rage,anger, frustration, call it
(15:07):
however you want.
It's all anger at the end, uh,at the end of the day, uh, when
it comes to that.
And simple by understanding thatyou make your life even better.
Just by understanding that youdon't experience your reality
directly.
In fact, we aren't capable toexperience the reality directly,
(15:29):
the circumstances directly.
We're only capable to experienceour own thinking about that
circumstance, about the reality.
So we are constantly living inthe feeling of our own thinking.
And when you get that and reallyget it, get it, then you will
(15:51):
understand that the whole worldaround you that you understand
as a world is just made ofthought.
And knowing that that's comefrom the conditioning and it's
just a learning, good news iswhat is learned can be unlearned
and can be replaced withdifferent learnings that serve
(16:13):
you a better person, uh purposeat this uh point of time.
Yeah, it's cool, very cool.
SPEAKER_02 (16:19):
So let's let's learn a little bit more about you.
So you've been, you said youwere in Dubai for 16 years,
whatever, and now you're inBali.
Like, what did you always dothis work?
I mean, is this what you you'vealways done?
Because this is what it this iswhat I wrote down from some of
(17:02):
the stuff you have.
It said you're a go-totransformation expert for elite
entrepreneurs, salesprofessionals, and leaders who
want one thing (17:08):
permanent emotional freedom fast.
You it says here, aftersurviving a stroke at 33,
walking away from 50 millionplus in high-ticket sales, you
rebuilt your life around thecore truth.
You don't need more mindsetwork, you need deletion.
I've never heard of it put thatway, or I've never heard of it's
(17:30):
almost like you feel like westack too much of these things
on our mindset, and and we needto actually start maybe taking
away to give room for thoughtand and peace and calm.
SPEAKER_01 (17:41):
Well, really, what I mean by that is this you don't
need to find yourself, you justneed to delete what you're not.
Hmm.
SPEAKER_02 (17:52):
That's interesting.
SPEAKER_01 (17:55):
You're not your anger, you're not your guilt,
you're not your hurt, you're notyour fears, you're nothing of
that.
Because when you were born as ababy, the only thing that you
knew is to laugh and to sleepand be restful, peaceful, and
grow and learn, right?
You didn't know anything aboutcareer, you didn't know anything
(18:17):
about business, you didn't knowanything about podcasts, nothing
of that was there.
You only knew how to enjoymoment.
And then the world took itshands on you and start
conditioning you by yourparents, grandparents,
environments, religion, school,church, mosque, whatever it was
they are around, and you startbuilding all those types of
(18:39):
things, right?
It's learning, and you starteven identifying yourself with
that because someone will tell,oh, well, this is who am I?
And I was like, Oh no, you canfuck off.
Uh this is who this is who youlearned to be, right?
Right?
This is this is who you learn tobe.
I always say you just need toremove the mud, and the diamond
(19:00):
is there.
So when I think about that mudand deletion, I'm thinking about
those beliefs that many peoplewill call them limiting beliefs,
right?
In fact, all the beliefs arelimiting in a certain point
because they set a limit, right?
But let's say belief thatdoesn't serve us a purpose, all
those stored negative emotionsthat are stored in our memories,
(19:22):
in our nervous system, that arenot serving us a purpose because
it's not natural for us to beanxious all day long.
It isn't natural.
Because that fear, let's say,it's just a protective mechanism
since we were primals, becausewe need to run away from a lion.
And the moment when the lion isgone, the the fear was not, but
(19:47):
as more the frontal lobe starteddeveloping and we started
evolving as a human being, westarted holding on to those
fears or let's say the anger orsadness about something for a
long time because it's kind ofaddictive.
It runs cortisol, it runsadrenaline through your um uh
(20:10):
through your whole system whenthat happens, and you start
identifying yourself with thatpart.
Now many people are trying tobecome the best version of
themselves.
How about you unbecome who youweren't to begin with, or just
(20:31):
to remember you say that again?
SPEAKER_02 (20:33):
How you unbecome the person that you weren't?
SPEAKER_01 (20:39):
Who you weren't to begin with, because you were not
that person when you got born.
You were clean slate, or on oron Latin language tabula rasa,
which means empty board, emptytable, when you started drawing
your model of the world based onmany beliefs or thoughts that
(20:59):
you were not even consciousenough in that moment to
validate it its truth.
So we just accepted it.
And that's not us.
It will serve us a purpose to acertain point until it doesn't.
So you ask me, like, how did Icome to this point?
Yeah, is because I reached apoint where I had to actually
(21:25):
deal with difficult problems,health problems, especially.
A little bit of background.
I've been in Dubai, right?
Before I uh when I started, Iwas acting CEO and director of
operations for the one of thebiggest hospitality companies in
Dubai, running like eightnightclubs, four fine dining
(21:46):
restaurants, like super luxury,and ten, let's say, pubs,
English and and and and Irishpubs that were there in the
company.
I was having more than 700employees under under my thing.
And I was a person, I need topush hard, I need to go hard.
There is no pain, no gain, nothis, no this, until I wake up
(22:08):
in a hospital after a stroke.
And I was like, something has tochange.
Something really has to do that.
And that was the first indicatorthat I was like, oh, I mean, if
I continue being that, becauseyou're working 18 hours a day,
you're consistently understress, you're consistently all
that.
I was like, doesn't work thisway.
And it was the first moment whenI was like, I need to do
(22:30):
something about this.
And started researching.
Then I had my first trainingabout NLP.
That's my first time.
I started learning about NLP.
Then I got a master in NLP.
Now the big then I'm master NLPtrainer.
And then I was like, this is notenough.
I was like, let me get somethingelse.
Like, because this works, butnot for everything.
(22:53):
And I was like, who?
Okay, hypnosis.
Then get the hypnosis level one,two, three until master level of
hypnosis.
And then it was a snowballeffect.
One modality after another, onemodality after another.
And I don't care where it comesfrom, who invented it, and how
it is.
All I care is does it work?
I finished in Tibet two monthsbeing in the mountain in the
(23:16):
monasteries just to learn onetool, one technique, how they
are dealing with these things.
I finished in Hawaii learningabout breath and the point of
breath.
And they're all I Hawaiians areprobably the most advanced
nation when it comes to breathand breath work.
It's crazy.
(23:41):
Means comes from breath, andHawaii means the way of breath.
SPEAKER_02 (23:48):
So you're well schooled.
You've studied all this stuff,and so you go from running clubs
and restaurants and all thisstuff, okay?
Which is high, high intense,like stressful, like you know,
in like really in it.
So you go from that, had a Iguess a stroke is what I had
read.
And and then now you're, I mean,you're like you've you're well
(24:09):
trained in hypnosis and allthese different things.
It's incredible.
SPEAKER_01 (24:13):
I mean, hypnosis is just one of the maybe 40
different modalities that I havebeen mastering.
I I became obsessed with it.
And by let's say how I'm raisedis I don't move on to another
one until I master what is in asa task in hand.
And I get good in that, and Iwas like, cool, how can I
(24:34):
upgrade this knowledge rightnow?
And then I add another one andthen another one.
And that's how the beerrelentless method, my own um
method, has been developed andcame to birth because I started
fusing all of those methods in acertain situation with uh around
certain diff uh problems withthe clients or anything else, so
(24:55):
people can have uh immediatefast results.
Yeah, I got sick of seeingpeople going to therapy for 25
years, for 30 years about acertain problem that we can
solve it in three minutes.
Like I really got sick of seeingthis.
I really I've noticed that therewere some tools out there that
(25:18):
they were forgotten or forgottenon purpose.
Yeah, because they really workand they really help other
people.
Now, I wouldn't be able to reachthat if I was not digging and it
was it was I was not curiousabout learning more, but then it
put me in a situation I waslike, I need to put myself out
(25:38):
there and help the world, yeah,because no one deserves, no one,
absolutely no one, deserves tolive in misery, to live in agony
just because they don't knowthat something there is
possible.
Yeah, no one has to be treatedlike a monthly recurring revenue
(25:59):
just to go and talk over theirthings out there and just to
show up the next week again andpay another hundred, two
hundred, five hundred thousandbucks for one that's opposition
just to cry.
Crying and talking about acertain problem is just
reinforcing the problem in themind.
It does not help.
Yeah, it's venting, it feelsrelaxation a little bit at this
(26:22):
moment, but it doesn't deleteit, it does not solve it, it's
just reinforcing it and becomesstronger and stronger and
stronger.
Hence why those mainstreammethods are outdated now.
SPEAKER_02 (26:38):
Yeah, it's amazing.
So, can we talk more about thethe be relentless method, which
is a method that you came outwith?
I did, I did see that in here.
Tell me a little bit about whatso what is that about, that
method?
SPEAKER_01 (26:50):
So, as I said, the be relentless method is um my
own proprietary method that Iuse many different modalities
into it and created a fusion andI created a system out of it.
So, if we're talking about, youknow, everyone knows about NLP
and their grandmother knowsabout NLP, that's fine.
Everyone knows, and it's veryfancy to talk about hypnosis.
(27:11):
Hypnosis is involved as well toa certain point if needed, and
mainly hypnotic language, uh,when it needs to bypass the uh
critical faculty of theconscious mind and to talk a
little bit with the unconsciousmind, which is 95% of everything
that we do.
And then there was a lot ofother uh tools like time
(27:32):
paradigm techniques, uhpolarities integration, parts
integration, and inner innerconflict, um uh um inner
conflict uh resolution,cognitive uh behavioral uh
sciences.
Uh and I mean I can talk untiltomorrow.
There's so many out of that.
So I've been in the last, let'ssay, nine years going through
(27:53):
all of that to come to a certainmethod that I will be happy with
to show myself up there, right?
And uh finally I got it.
Like in the last I I've beencoaching, like I've been uh
working with people since 2018actively.
Since 2018, actively.
(28:13):
I started 2016, uh, and from2018 I I've been just upgrading
the whole thing.
And in the last, let's say,three years, I have been I
worked with more than thousandof high-performing individuals,
CEOs, entrepreneurs, um,celebrities, uh, athlete
(28:33):
celebrities, um, most of themunder NDA, um, high-level
individuals, especially in thein the Middle East, like Dubai,
Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, or oranything else.
So they can understand that youdon't need to suffer to make it.
You still need to put the workthough, but it's better to put
(28:54):
the work while you're enjoyingit rather than resenting it,
isn't it?
SPEAKER_03 (28:59):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (29:00):
So I put all those things together, and then it
happened to notice that if thereis a one situation and there is
one negative emotion about thatsituation, for example, I feel
angry about my brother andyou're raging, it's literally
two minutes, three minutes.
You will never going to feelthat anymore.
(29:21):
That's why I call it deletion.
So the world needs deleting, notcoping.
I I call it like this.
Most of the people now outthere, if you're sick, right,
you have symptoms, some of themthey will give you vitamins, you
know, to get better.
Some people they know better,they will go to give you a
painkiller, which are the copingmechanisms and everything like
(29:44):
that.
I see myself in my metaphoricalway of uh explanation, I'm the
surgeon.
I want to come to the root causeof the problem, take it out of
your system so you don't needthose coping mechanisms anymore,
and you can free yourself fully.
SPEAKER_02 (30:05):
That's a good way of looking at it.
That's a good analogy.
Very good.
It makes it very uh very easy tounderstand.
Very easy to understand.
Let's um before we wrap this up,let's there's a couple other
things I wanted to uh dive intohere.
One is um uh, and this is reallywhat kind of what we just talked
about.
On an Instagram post I saw youhad it said, while others
(30:26):
motivate, I rewire, which kindof is like that.
While others teach, I deletewhat's blocking you, which is
kind of what you the analogy.
And while others preach, youwitness freedom happen live,
which you know, right there infront of you.
And then the other thing I sawwas stress isn't real.
It's not in your job, it's notin your partner, and it's not in
the pressure.
(30:46):
So let's talk about everybodydeals with stress.
I mean, everybody thinks theydeal with stress.
Let's just touch on that alittle bit before we wrap this
up, because to me, that's like abig one that the audience will
probably want to know.
You know, how do you how do weeverybody wants to know how do
we deal with stress?
I'm stressed, my job isstressful, this is stressful.
How do I deal with this?
What's your what do you what isyour your system for that?
SPEAKER_01 (31:06):
So here's the thing.
You see how we even say it, I amstressed.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Well, that pre that presupposesthat you have stress, right?
Yeah, which means you'reexternalizing responsibility
that stress is a thing and justcame into you.
In the world of nominalizationand language, we take it stress
(31:31):
as a noun, while the reality isstress is a verb.
I am stressing.
I am stressing about first istaking responsibility that we
are the one, and our thinking iscreating that stress, our
meaning making of of thatcircumstance or situation is
(31:56):
creating that stress.
So we internalize it, weinternalize it in a way, right?
No, we create it, we create it,internalize it, we create it.
Wow, so many people's uh willtake it like this what is
happening, why is thishappening, and what if this
continues happening?
I have a different approach.
(32:16):
How do we create our what?
How do we create our why, andhow do we create our what if?
And that's a process, that's astrategy.
Interrupt the process, interruptthe pattern, interrupt the
strategy.
Long enough, the emotiondisappears.
(32:37):
You just blocked a certainstrategy that you have been
using unconsciously in your mindto create that type of stress.
So stress is our doing.
I cannot piss you off, Brad.
I cannot.
I can do something that cantrigger a certain opinion about
(32:58):
me that you have in your headabout me, and that opinion is a
meaning-making, and then youwill decide if you want to get
mad at me, angry at me, swear atme, or you're just gonna laugh.
But I cannot do anything to youbecause emotion, like I said, is
our own doing.
What is emotion?
(33:18):
It's just a chemical reaction inyour butt in our body.
Bunch of chemicals coming fromour hypothalamus through our
system.
If it's a good meaning-makingprocess, it will be all those
beautiful enzymes, hormones, uh,proteins, whatever runs to your
system.
And it's gonna be dopamine,oxytocin, serotonin, and all of
(33:39):
that part.
But if it's um bad meaningmaking on our thinking, it's
gonna be okay, cool, it's umadrenaline, it's a cortisol, and
all those stressful um uhhormones that are or chemicals
that are running through ourbody.
So, first, to get rid of stress,you need to understand where the
(34:00):
stress comes from.
And it's not from outside of us,it's from inside.
It's our own doing, it's our ownfreaking doing, and that's
called uh taking responsibility.
Yeah, taking responsibility.
You can control what you think,and you can always I can ask you
(34:21):
a few questions, and yousuddenly gonna change the
meaning of what you meant itwas.
Only that will going to do halfof the job.
Then later on is releasing theemotion, and you're done, off
you go.
SPEAKER_02 (34:35):
That's cool.
Very cool.
It's good stuff.
Good stuff.
It's deep, it is deep, it's verydeep.
It's deep.
That's Hugo over there.
Um, yeah, so I I appreciate youcoming on.
Is there anything that youwanted to leave the audience
with that that something that itthat you feel is is good for
everybody to hear, everybody toknow or to experience um uh of
(34:56):
of your teachings and of of whatyou what you coach on?
SPEAKER_01 (35:00):
Well, there is many things.
I will try to make it shorterhere, but I would say always you
remember when I said unbecomewho you weren't to begin with,
yes.
Or just add one part of it islike you don't need to become
someone else or something else,you just need to remember who
you were before you forgot.
SPEAKER_02 (35:19):
Interesting.
SPEAKER_01 (35:20):
Just remember who you were before you forgot, and
that way you will going to beable to actually make a choice.
What do you want to think?
What do you want to feel?
Therefore, behave in theappropriate way, and you can
change the results.
Be careful in your language,because language has a meaning
(35:43):
as well.
The word hard itself has ameaning that is a suffer.
You're never going to hear mesay this is hard.
I will say it's not easy.
Kind of feels better.
SPEAKER_02 (35:56):
Yeah, right.
It's all yeah, it's all in thelanguage.
I mean, because language iseverything.
That's it's how we how wedescribe things, how we we
create, that's how we you knowcreate the emotions, I guess,
somehow.
SPEAKER_01 (36:07):
Well no, the language, it's how we identify
the world, how we find theworld, and we we use that now.
We can never always shift it.
Yeah, and I will encourageeveryone, you can do it.
Now, how do we find you?
How do they find you?
You can find me on the best wayit's Instagram, it's Mikov
(36:28):
Bogdan, uhM-I-C-O-V-B-O-G-D-A-N, and
probably Facebook.
So it's the same, uh, the samehandle.
And I just wanted to recognizeyou for what you're doing, Brad.
I watched some of your episodesbefore, and um, it was really an
honor for me to be here.
I know how much of a uh not easywork it is for you to actually
(36:51):
run the show and bring so muchvalue to all of your audience,
even though there is a lot ofdiversity there.
Um, so I will encourage everyonethat is watching or listening,
just go and subscribe, go andshare, go and please go and show
some love because this isn'teasy to be done and it will
(37:11):
bring more value to many people.
SPEAKER_02 (37:14):
We appreciate that so much.
Uh thank you so much.
Thanks for coming on the show.
We'll have you back againsometime.
All right, thank you.
There you have it, BogdanMikoff, psychology of palm
power.
I mean, seriously, if you're notlooking him up, uh you should
be.
This is just such greatinformation.
If you're dealing with stress,if you have anxiety, if you have
(37:35):
anything that you've beendealing with uh for a long time,
you you want to look him up.
He's got great stuff onInstagram that's gonna help you
out.
I can guarantee it.
All right, that's it.
Thanks so much for watching usevery Thursday, 7 p.m.
All right.
See you later.
Real estate marketing in real life.
We all learn it.
If you think about it, WayneNick might not attract everybody
and everything in between.
SPEAKER_00 (00:58):
Mission was really to help people just to reach
their full potential.
The Brad Wiseman show.
And now your host, Brad Wiseman.
SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
All right.
Oh man.
We have a good show.
Another good show.
Here we go.
SPEAKER_03 (01:12):
I'm excited.
I'm excited for it.
SPEAKER_02 (01:13):
Another good show.
It's um, this is just gonna bereally different.
I don't think we've anybody onthe show that was doing the
things that this guy is doing.
It's called the psychology ofcalm power.
You know, you know there's timeswhere you feel like anxiety or
fear, like anxious or whatever,things like that.
Sometimes there's just thingsthat happen in your life that
maybe are traumatic and you'retrying to maybe deal with it or
(01:37):
you're you're not able to dealwith it.
This guy here I've seen onInstagram where he talks people
through how to cope or how tolike, he calls it deleting it.
I think he you just delete thesetypes of things from your mind.
He talks about stress too.
We all get stress every day.
SPEAKER_03 (01:51):
That's right.
SPEAKER_02 (01:51):
And he talks about that and how we can um delete
that out of our lives and out ofour emotions.
So his name is Bogdan Mikoff.
He's joining us from Bali.
Um I think they're like fouro'clock in the morning right
now, which is crazy.
Um, but uh yeah, Bogdan, uh, howare you doing, man?
SPEAKER_01 (02:10):
Oh, I'm alive and blessed.
I'm so happy to be here, Brad.
I'm so happy to be here.
Doing really well, really well.
It's late or early hours.
SPEAKER_02 (02:20):
Yeah, you know what's funny?
I think you're the one of thefurthest.
We did Australia, though.
We had somebody off fromAustralia.
So this is uh yeah, you're faraway.
You're really far away, andyou're you're up early in the
morning.
SPEAKER_01 (02:32):
I haven't even gone to sleep.
You didn't go to sleep.
You look pretty good for notsleeping, I gotta say.
Yeah, I I try, I try to be.
SPEAKER_02 (02:40):
Try to be.
That's funny.
So, yeah, let's get into this.
You you have what what was onyour information was psychology,
psychology of calm power.
And when it's funny, when youhear those two words together,
it's kind of like they'reoxymorons.
Like, you know, the word calmand the word power typically are
not used in the same sentence.
SPEAKER_01 (03:02):
Yeah, it's not used because we are conditioned to
label certain words with acertain meaning.
Yeah, and many people will goingto uh slap a meaning on the word
power, like something that needsto be strong, something that
(03:24):
needs to go through suffer, orsomething that needs to go all
over the top.
While the true power reallycomes from calmness, from
clarity, from from knowingyourself, from congruence in
everything that you do in life.
And power comes from there.
Everything else that goes hardpush through is just a force.
(03:46):
We are forcing it.
So I don't know if you have beenfamiliar with Dr.
David Hawkins, he has a greatbook uh uh written on it, Power
versus Force.
Yeah, and if you survive thefirst three chapters, then you
will want to be addicted to thebook.
Uh but um it's actually that.
(04:06):
So most of the people want toact like they're power,
powerful, and they're justmasking their own insecurities
by forcing a certain image ofthemselves that is not truly
them.
So when you come to the point ofwhy I say it like calm power,
(04:26):
uh, first it's intriguing,right?
Yeah, very second thing is thinkabout it that this way if you
have a certain task or a projectto finish, how are you gonna
perform better when you'reconsistently stressed or anxious
or angry or even feeling guiltyabout certain things, or when
(04:49):
you're coming from a place ofpeace, calm, where frontal
cortex works properly,intelligence works properly, and
you can find a solution foranything that comes your way.
Yeah, when are you going toperform better?
Well, I will I will put all mymoney on calmness.
SPEAKER_02 (05:07):
Absolutely, clear mind.
Clear mind, calmness, peace.
Yeah, I mean, I agree with you100%.
When you when you enter anysituation with force or trying
to overpower or trying to doanything like that, it doesn't
work out.
SPEAKER_01 (05:25):
It doesn't work out.
Think about the highestperformance, let's say
professional athletes in in thesport of in the uh world of
sport.
What happens?
Look people that I have been youknow enjoying watching
throughout my life, someone likeMichael Jordan or someone like
Kobe Bryant or in UFC uh GSP,for example.
(05:52):
Those people were not operatingfrom peer, from fear or anger,
or they were not that there wasno trash talk.
There is no, so it was kind ofthere was no excitement about
what's coming, and at the sametime, there is no negative
emotion behind.
That's why they were performingthe way they were performing.
Simply, they don't drain energy,they don't waste fuel giving it
(06:18):
to those negative emotions thatare that are running uh in
behind.
They kind of learned consciouslyor unconsciously in a way that
it doesn't serve them a purpose.
SPEAKER_02 (06:29):
Well, if we're somebody that normally does that
though, or normally comes into asituation with you know being
let's just say headstrong or orpowerful or things are gonna how
how do you how do you train orhow do you tell somebody or how
do you get to that place ofcalm?
Is it is it deep breaths in andout?
Is it like what do you do to getto a calm place?
(06:51):
I mean, you know, things happenin life that get us excited or
get us, you know, a littleworked up.
I mean, somebody cuts you off intraffic and it's really tough to
come from calm in those moments.
You know, so you know, you know,obviously we're always
practicing this and we're humanand we're not perfect, but what
are the things that you do totry and keep yourself in that
calm mode?
SPEAKER_01 (07:11):
I mean, you're completely right.
There is so many differentmodalities and so many different
ways how to actually calm uhyour TPM tot per minute index or
just to come ground yourself alittle bit.
Many of them are just the copingmechanisms, yeah, right?
They don't really help.
I mean, you can actually do abox breeding or whatever people
(07:32):
were going to teach you.
You can do certain types ofmeditation, you can do, I don't
know, ice bots, you can do umaffirmations, so all of that.
But that's kind of a temporary.
Now we need to understand firstwhere emotion comes so we can
actually deal with itpermanently.
So let's let's take it, let'ssay reverse engineering.
(07:54):
Results in life, no matter whattype of results or in which area
in life.
And they can be results that welike or results that we don't
like.
And we usually we call themproblems, right?
Now, in my world, I don't wantto even use the word problem, so
I call it results that we don'tlike.
(08:14):
Where results are coming from?
Results are directly uhcodependent on our sum total of
behaviors, which means thingsthat we do and things that we
don't do.
So if we do certain things in acertain way, we're gonna have
one type of results.
SPEAKER_02 (08:31):
Let's just I just want to just back up real quick
because I want people to getwhat you said there before, is
that we call things a lot oftimes, people call things
something that happens aproblem.
Okay, yeah, and I think I justwant to make sure we're very
clear on what you called it, isbecause we label it as a
problem, and all it is is aresult, it's an outcome, right?
(08:54):
It's an outcome.
Okay, I just want to make surewe're that we're clear on that.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (08:58):
You like it or you don't like it, right?
That's your thing, right?
But uh, if for some people, ifsomething happens, it'll be a
good thing, for for otherpeople, it will not gonna be a
good thing, right?
And it's all a matter ofperception.
So when it comes to that point,that's it, the results coming
from the sum total of behaviors.
And now, by all the logic, if wewant to change our results in
(09:19):
life, we need to change thebehavior, right?
But how easy or how difficult isthat to be done?
We see so many people, they wantto lose weight, they go, they
pay a coach, they go and uh theyuh pay the gym and they get on a
diet and they do it for twoweeks and they relapse back in
the same thing, right?
So there is something that isdriving the behavior.
(09:40):
So, what is driving thebehavior?
It's the state or our emotionalstate of mind.
Fearful person presentsdifferent behavior than fearless
person, calm person presentsdifferent behavior than anxious
person, etc.
etc.
So our emotional state drivesour behavior directly.
(10:05):
And now here is the answer toyour question: where is our
emotion coming?
Why someone cut us off and weget angry or anything like uh
you mentioned?
Well, our thinking directlyimpacts our emotions, or even
(10:25):
more precisely said, themeaning-making process, the
meaning that we assign on ourthoughts will go to determine
are we going to have positive ora negative emotion?
So thoughts in general is justthe data, it's just a picture in
the head or anything uh like uhis it visual, kinesthetic, uh,
(10:49):
auditory, it doesn't reallymatter.
But and they're neutral is a rawsensory data.
But we are the meaning makers,and we assign the meaning into
that.
I can tell you like simpleexample.
If you go in Spain in Ibiza andyou go on the beach, you will
see topless all over, right?
(11:10):
No one notices, no one judgesthis, no, it's completely
normal.
But if you do that same thing inSaudi Arabia or in Dubai, you go
in jail.
So who is wrong and who isright?
Interesting.
There is no wrong or right, butit's a different meaning.
In one country, they will saythis is normal, in another
country, another environment,they will go say this is haram,
(11:33):
this is sin, this is this is notuh not good.
So the person that takes it asthis is a sin to be committed
and is wrong, he'll want toproduce a negative emotion and
start developing hate, anger,whatever, put them in jail,
while the other one will bejoyful and enjoy their time and
don't even bother themselveswith that at all.
So that's the emotion.
(11:53):
Now there is a step behind aswell.
What creates our meaning-makingprocess?
Meaning making process is just afiltering process, filtering
data, which is filter uh threefilters deleting, distorting,
and generalizing.
What are the three again?
Can you say what are the threeagain?
Three filters deleting, uh-huh.
(12:14):
Deleting, distorting, andgeneralizing.
And generalizing, okay.
And generalizing.
Those are three differentfilters, internal filters that
our mind takes it through, so wemake a meaning out something.
So that meaning-making processor that filtering, it's our
conditioning or our programmingthat comes from the moment we
were born and we startedlearning, which means those are
(12:37):
only learnings.
And in that meaning-makingprocess, you have our needs, our
values, our beliefs, our drivingquestions, and everything that
comes through it.
So if we really want to make apermanent change, we need to
work on the conditioning, andthat's the part the to retweak
(12:58):
or retune those filters towardssomething that serves us a
purpose more.
And yeah, how does it so if youtell me how do I stay calm in
the situation in the traffic orsomething else?
Look, I'm not gonna lie, I'm notall the time calm.
I will get triggered, but then Irecognize it.
(13:21):
This is it's in awareness.
I recognize it.
And I was like, what am Ifocusing on right now in the
moment?
And then you notice that themeaning in that moment is, oh,
this guy is an idiot, he'scareless, he's do, oh blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And you get spiraling into thatemotion.
While I can change the meaningon spot, I was like, Well, I
don't know what I don't know.
Maybe the guy is driving apregnant lady inside of the car
(13:46):
and rushing towards thehospital.
Or maybe something happened, heneeds to be there for his
children or her children outthere.
Who am I to judge?
And how am I even helpingmyself?
He just passed it.
He's already out in the wind.
Uh, if I keep on being angry,how does that serve me?
I just destroyed my day.
SPEAKER_02 (14:07):
Yeah.
No, it's it's true.
And we do that.
You know, we something happenslike that, and it and it does.
And for many people, it couldruin their for the next two,
three hours or a whole day.
Just because they keep they keepuh re-rehashing that same thing
that happened over and over.
And it's not just in traffic,it's with anything in life.
You know, there's certain thingsuh that happen every day to us,
you know, and it's just allabout how we reframe it, how we
(14:29):
what the result, like you saidbefore, I love the whole thing,
is it's a result.
We we put the result as aproblem, or we put the result,
the result was the guy cut youoff.
That's really all it was.
It wasn't him trying to be ajerk to you.
It wasn't trying, he was just hewas in a hurry and whatever.
So it's it's it's it's aninteresting way of looking at
things.
SPEAKER_01 (14:46):
You just took it personally, you kind of identify
yourself with that circumstanceor with that situation, and
because it goes against yourbelief system that this is
wrong, straight away thatinitiates a certain negative
emotion.
In this moment, it will be rage,anger, frustration, call it
(15:07):
however you want.
It's all anger at the end, uh,at the end of the day, uh, when
it comes to that.
And simple by understanding thatyou make your life even better.
Just by understanding that youdon't experience your reality
directly.
In fact, we aren't capable toexperience the reality directly,
(15:29):
the circumstances directly.
We're only capable to experienceour own thinking about that
circumstance, about the reality.
So we are constantly living inthe feeling of our own thinking.
And when you get that and reallyget it, get it, then you will
(15:51):
understand that the whole worldaround you that you understand
as a world is just made ofthought.
And knowing that that's comefrom the conditioning and it's
just a learning, good news iswhat is learned can be unlearned
and can be replaced withdifferent learnings that serve
(16:13):
you a better person, uh purposeat this uh point of time.
Yeah, it's cool, very cool.
SPEAKER_02 (16:19):
So let's let's learn a little bit more about you.
So you've been, you said youwere in Dubai for 16 years,
whatever, and now you're inBali.
Like, what did you always dothis work?
I mean, is this what you you'vealways done?
Because this is what it this iswhat I wrote down from some of
(17:02):
the stuff you have.
It said you're a go-totransformation expert for elite
entrepreneurs, salesprofessionals, and leaders who
want one thing (17:08):
permanent emotional freedom fast.
You it says here, aftersurviving a stroke at 33,
walking away from 50 millionplus in high-ticket sales, you
rebuilt your life around thecore truth.
You don't need more mindsetwork, you need deletion.
I've never heard of it put thatway, or I've never heard of it's
(17:30):
almost like you feel like westack too much of these things
on our mindset, and and we needto actually start maybe taking
away to give room for thoughtand and peace and calm.
SPEAKER_01 (17:41):
Well, really, what I mean by that is this you don't
need to find yourself, you justneed to delete what you're not.
Hmm.
SPEAKER_02 (17:52):
That's interesting.
SPEAKER_01 (17:55):
You're not your anger, you're not your guilt,
you're not your hurt, you're notyour fears, you're nothing of
that.
Because when you were born as ababy, the only thing that you
knew is to laugh and to sleepand be restful, peaceful, and
grow and learn, right?
You didn't know anything aboutcareer, you didn't know anything
(18:17):
about business, you didn't knowanything about podcasts, nothing
of that was there.
You only knew how to enjoymoment.
And then the world took itshands on you and start
conditioning you by yourparents, grandparents,
environments, religion, school,church, mosque, whatever it was
they are around, and you startbuilding all those types of
(18:39):
things, right?
It's learning, and you starteven identifying yourself with
that because someone will tell,oh, well, this is who am I?
And I was like, Oh no, you canfuck off.
Uh this is who this is who youlearned to be, right?
Right?
This is this is who you learn tobe.
I always say you just need toremove the mud, and the diamond
(19:00):
is there.
So when I think about that mudand deletion, I'm thinking about
those beliefs that many peoplewill call them limiting beliefs,
right?
In fact, all the beliefs arelimiting in a certain point
because they set a limit, right?
But let's say belief thatdoesn't serve us a purpose, all
those stored negative emotionsthat are stored in our memories,
(19:22):
in our nervous system, that arenot serving us a purpose because
it's not natural for us to beanxious all day long.
It isn't natural.
Because that fear, let's say,it's just a protective mechanism
since we were primals, becausewe need to run away from a lion.
And the moment when the lion isgone, the the fear was not, but
(19:47):
as more the frontal lobe starteddeveloping and we started
evolving as a human being, westarted holding on to those
fears or let's say the anger orsadness about something for a
long time because it's kind ofaddictive.
It runs cortisol, it runsadrenaline through your um uh
(20:10):
through your whole system whenthat happens, and you start
identifying yourself with thatpart.
Now many people are trying tobecome the best version of
themselves.
How about you unbecome who youweren't to begin with, or just
(20:31):
to remember you say that again?
SPEAKER_02 (20:33):
How you unbecome the person that you weren't?
SPEAKER_01 (20:39):
Who you weren't to begin with, because you were not
that person when you got born.
You were clean slate, or on oron Latin language tabula rasa,
which means empty board, emptytable, when you started drawing
your model of the world based onmany beliefs or thoughts that
(20:59):
you were not even consciousenough in that moment to
validate it its truth.
So we just accepted it.
And that's not us.
It will serve us a purpose to acertain point until it doesn't.
So you ask me, like, how did Icome to this point?
Yeah, is because I reached apoint where I had to actually
(21:25):
deal with difficult problems,health problems, especially.
A little bit of background.
I've been in Dubai, right?
Before I uh when I started, Iwas acting CEO and director of
operations for the one of thebiggest hospitality companies in
Dubai, running like eightnightclubs, four fine dining
(21:46):
restaurants, like super luxury,and ten, let's say, pubs,
English and and and and Irishpubs that were there in the
company.
I was having more than 700employees under under my thing.
And I was a person, I need topush hard, I need to go hard.
There is no pain, no gain, nothis, no this, until I wake up
(22:08):
in a hospital after a stroke.
And I was like, something has tochange.
Something really has to do that.
And that was the first indicatorthat I was like, oh, I mean, if
I continue being that, becauseyou're working 18 hours a day,
you're consistently understress, you're consistently all
that.
I was like, doesn't work thisway.
And it was the first moment whenI was like, I need to do
(22:30):
something about this.
And started researching.
Then I had my first trainingabout NLP.
That's my first time.
I started learning about NLP.
Then I got a master in NLP.
Now the big then I'm master NLPtrainer.
And then I was like, this is notenough.
I was like, let me get somethingelse.
Like, because this works, butnot for everything.
(22:53):
And I was like, who?
Okay, hypnosis.
Then get the hypnosis level one,two, three until master level of
hypnosis.
And then it was a snowballeffect.
One modality after another, onemodality after another.
And I don't care where it comesfrom, who invented it, and how
it is.
All I care is does it work?
I finished in Tibet two monthsbeing in the mountain in the
(23:16):
monasteries just to learn onetool, one technique, how they
are dealing with these things.
I finished in Hawaii learningabout breath and the point of
breath.
And they're all I Hawaiians areprobably the most advanced
nation when it comes to breathand breath work.
It's crazy.
(23:41):
Means comes from breath, andHawaii means the way of breath.
SPEAKER_02 (23:48):
So you're well schooled.
You've studied all this stuff,and so you go from running clubs
and restaurants and all thisstuff, okay?
Which is high, high intense,like stressful, like you know,
in like really in it.
So you go from that, had a Iguess a stroke is what I had
read.
And and then now you're, I mean,you're like you've you're well
(24:09):
trained in hypnosis and allthese different things.
It's incredible.
SPEAKER_01 (24:13):
I mean, hypnosis is just one of the maybe 40
different modalities that I havebeen mastering.
I I became obsessed with it.
And by let's say how I'm raisedis I don't move on to another
one until I master what is in asa task in hand.
And I get good in that, and Iwas like, cool, how can I
(24:34):
upgrade this knowledge rightnow?
And then I add another one andthen another one.
And that's how the beerrelentless method, my own um
method, has been developed andcame to birth because I started
fusing all of those methods in acertain situation with uh around
certain diff uh problems withthe clients or anything else, so
(24:55):
people can have uh immediatefast results.
Yeah, I got sick of seeingpeople going to therapy for 25
years, for 30 years about acertain problem that we can
solve it in three minutes.
Like I really got sick of seeingthis.
I really I've noticed that therewere some tools out there that
(25:18):
they were forgotten or forgottenon purpose.
Yeah, because they really workand they really help other
people.
Now, I wouldn't be able to reachthat if I was not digging and it
was it was I was not curiousabout learning more, but then it
put me in a situation I waslike, I need to put myself out
(25:38):
there and help the world, yeah,because no one deserves, no one,
absolutely no one, deserves tolive in misery, to live in agony
just because they don't knowthat something there is
possible.
Yeah, no one has to be treatedlike a monthly recurring revenue
(25:59):
just to go and talk over theirthings out there and just to
show up the next week again andpay another hundred, two
hundred, five hundred thousandbucks for one that's opposition
just to cry.
Crying and talking about acertain problem is just
reinforcing the problem in themind.
It does not help.
Yeah, it's venting, it feelsrelaxation a little bit at this
(26:22):
moment, but it doesn't deleteit, it does not solve it, it's
just reinforcing it and becomesstronger and stronger and
stronger.
Hence why those mainstreammethods are outdated now.
SPEAKER_02 (26:38):
Yeah, it's amazing.
So, can we talk more about thethe be relentless method, which
is a method that you came outwith?
I did, I did see that in here.
Tell me a little bit about whatso what is that about, that
method?
SPEAKER_01 (26:50):
So, as I said, the be relentless method is um my
own proprietary method that Iuse many different modalities
into it and created a fusion andI created a system out of it.
So, if we're talking about, youknow, everyone knows about NLP
and their grandmother knowsabout NLP, that's fine.
Everyone knows, and it's veryfancy to talk about hypnosis.
(27:11):
Hypnosis is involved as well toa certain point if needed, and
mainly hypnotic language, uh,when it needs to bypass the uh
critical faculty of theconscious mind and to talk a
little bit with the unconsciousmind, which is 95% of everything
that we do.
And then there was a lot ofother uh tools like time
(27:32):
paradigm techniques, uhpolarities integration, parts
integration, and inner innerconflict, um uh um inner
conflict uh resolution,cognitive uh behavioral uh
sciences.
Uh and I mean I can talk untiltomorrow.
There's so many out of that.
So I've been in the last, let'ssay, nine years going through
(27:53):
all of that to come to a certainmethod that I will be happy with
to show myself up there, right?
And uh finally I got it.
Like in the last I I've beencoaching, like I've been uh
working with people since 2018actively.
Since 2018, actively.
(28:13):
I started 2016, uh, and from2018 I I've been just upgrading
the whole thing.
And in the last, let's say,three years, I have been I
worked with more than thousandof high-performing individuals,
CEOs, entrepreneurs, um,celebrities, uh, athlete
(28:33):
celebrities, um, most of themunder NDA, um, high-level
individuals, especially in thein the Middle East, like Dubai,
Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, or oranything else.
So they can understand that youdon't need to suffer to make it.
You still need to put the workthough, but it's better to put
(28:54):
the work while you're enjoyingit rather than resenting it,
isn't it?
SPEAKER_03 (28:59):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (29:00):
So I put all those things together, and then it
happened to notice that if thereis a one situation and there is
one negative emotion about thatsituation, for example, I feel
angry about my brother andyou're raging, it's literally
two minutes, three minutes.
You will never going to feelthat anymore.
(29:21):
That's why I call it deletion.
So the world needs deleting, notcoping.
I I call it like this.
Most of the people now outthere, if you're sick, right,
you have symptoms, some of themthey will give you vitamins, you
know, to get better.
Some people they know better,they will go to give you a
painkiller, which are the copingmechanisms and everything like
(29:44):
that.
I see myself in my metaphoricalway of uh explanation, I'm the
surgeon.
I want to come to the root causeof the problem, take it out of
your system so you don't needthose coping mechanisms anymore,
and you can free yourself fully.
SPEAKER_02 (30:05):
That's a good way of looking at it.
That's a good analogy.
Very good.
It makes it very uh very easy tounderstand.
Very easy to understand.
Let's um before we wrap this up,let's there's a couple other
things I wanted to uh dive intohere.
One is um uh, and this is reallywhat kind of what we just talked
about.
On an Instagram post I saw youhad it said, while others
(30:26):
motivate, I rewire, which kindof is like that.
While others teach, I deletewhat's blocking you, which is
kind of what you the analogy.
And while others preach, youwitness freedom happen live,
which you know, right there infront of you.
And then the other thing I sawwas stress isn't real.
It's not in your job, it's notin your partner, and it's not in
the pressure.
(30:46):
So let's talk about everybodydeals with stress.
I mean, everybody thinks theydeal with stress.
Let's just touch on that alittle bit before we wrap this
up, because to me, that's like abig one that the audience will
probably want to know.
You know, how do you how do weeverybody wants to know how do
we deal with stress?
I'm stressed, my job isstressful, this is stressful.
How do I deal with this?
What's your what do you what isyour your system for that?
SPEAKER_01 (31:06):
So here's the thing.
You see how we even say it, I amstressed.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Well, that pre that presupposesthat you have stress, right?
Yeah, which means you'reexternalizing responsibility
that stress is a thing and justcame into you.
In the world of nominalizationand language, we take it stress
(31:31):
as a noun, while the reality isstress is a verb.
I am stressing.
I am stressing about first istaking responsibility that we
are the one, and our thinking iscreating that stress, our
meaning making of of thatcircumstance or situation is
(31:56):
creating that stress.
So we internalize it, weinternalize it in a way, right?
No, we create it, we create it,internalize it, we create it.
Wow, so many people's uh willtake it like this what is
happening, why is thishappening, and what if this
continues happening?
I have a different approach.
(32:16):
How do we create our what?
How do we create our why, andhow do we create our what if?
And that's a process, that's astrategy.
Interrupt the process, interruptthe pattern, interrupt the
strategy.
Long enough, the emotiondisappears.
(32:37):
You just blocked a certainstrategy that you have been
using unconsciously in your mindto create that type of stress.
So stress is our doing.
I cannot piss you off, Brad.
I cannot.
I can do something that cantrigger a certain opinion about
(32:58):
me that you have in your headabout me, and that opinion is a
meaning-making, and then youwill decide if you want to get
mad at me, angry at me, swear atme, or you're just gonna laugh.
But I cannot do anything to youbecause emotion, like I said, is
our own doing.
What is emotion?
(33:18):
It's just a chemical reaction inyour butt in our body.
Bunch of chemicals coming fromour hypothalamus through our
system.
If it's a good meaning-makingprocess, it will be all those
beautiful enzymes, hormones, uh,proteins, whatever runs to your
system.
And it's gonna be dopamine,oxytocin, serotonin, and all of
(33:39):
that part.
But if it's um bad meaningmaking on our thinking, it's
gonna be okay, cool, it's umadrenaline, it's a cortisol, and
all those stressful um uhhormones that are or chemicals
that are running through ourbody.
So, first, to get rid of stress,you need to understand where the
(34:00):
stress comes from.
And it's not from outside of us,it's from inside.
It's our own doing, it's our ownfreaking doing, and that's
called uh taking responsibility.
Yeah, taking responsibility.
You can control what you think,and you can always I can ask you
(34:21):
a few questions, and yousuddenly gonna change the
meaning of what you meant itwas.
Only that will going to do halfof the job.
Then later on is releasing theemotion, and you're done, off
you go.
SPEAKER_02 (34:35):
That's cool.
Very cool.
It's good stuff.
Good stuff.
It's deep, it is deep, it's verydeep.
It's deep.
That's Hugo over there.
Um, yeah, so I I appreciate youcoming on.
Is there anything that youwanted to leave the audience
with that that something that itthat you feel is is good for
everybody to hear, everybody toknow or to experience um uh of
(34:56):
of your teachings and of of whatyou what you coach on?
SPEAKER_01 (35:00):
Well, there is many things.
I will try to make it shorterhere, but I would say always you
remember when I said unbecomewho you weren't to begin with,
yes.
Or just add one part of it islike you don't need to become
someone else or something else,you just need to remember who
you were before you forgot.
SPEAKER_02 (35:19):
Interesting.
SPEAKER_01 (35:20):
Just remember who you were before you forgot, and
that way you will going to beable to actually make a choice.
What do you want to think?
What do you want to feel?
Therefore, behave in theappropriate way, and you can
change the results.
Be careful in your language,because language has a meaning
(35:43):
as well.
The word hard itself has ameaning that is a suffer.
You're never going to hear mesay this is hard.
I will say it's not easy.
Kind of feels better.
SPEAKER_02 (35:56):
Yeah, right.
It's all yeah, it's all in thelanguage.
I mean, because language iseverything.
That's it's how we how wedescribe things, how we we
create, that's how we you knowcreate the emotions, I guess,
somehow.
SPEAKER_01 (36:07):
Well no, the language, it's how we identify
the world, how we find theworld, and we we use that now.
We can never always shift it.
Yeah, and I will encourageeveryone, you can do it.
Now, how do we find you?
How do they find you?
You can find me on the best wayit's Instagram, it's Mikov
(36:28):
Bogdan, uhM-I-C-O-V-B-O-G-D-A-N, and
probably Facebook.
So it's the same, uh, the samehandle.
And I just wanted to recognizeyou for what you're doing, Brad.
I watched some of your episodesbefore, and um, it was really an
honor for me to be here.
I know how much of a uh not easywork it is for you to actually
(36:51):
run the show and bring so muchvalue to all of your audience,
even though there is a lot ofdiversity there.
Um, so I will encourage everyonethat is watching or listening,
just go and subscribe, go andshare, go and please go and show
