THOSE WHO SAY THEY CAN AND THOSE WHO SAY THE CAN'T ARE USUALLY BOTH RIGHT.
Any time you try to do something great, there are going to be critics.
That’s impossible. That’s crazy. You’ll never be able to do that.
But the biggest doubter is often yourself.
How can we master our minds and quiet our fears when we are striving for greatness?
It’s about pushing past our limits and tapping into a flow state.
We are full of limitless potential.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with a man conquered his own doubts to break records that many said were impossible: Colin O’Brady.
Colin O'Brady is a professional endurance athlete, motivational speaker, and adventurer. On Dec. 26, 2018, Colin became the first person in history to cross Antarctica solo, unsupported and unaided. It was a 932-mile expedition completed in 54 days.
At the end of his expedition across Antarctica, Colin tapped into a flow state that allowed him to finish without stopping.
He used mantras and visualization to push past his limits. He now wants to share those tools with you.
So get ready to learn how to do the impossible on Episode 775.

YOU CAN'T LET YOUR EGO RUN THE SHOW.
You might be consumed by your ego and not even know it.
It can be a powerful tool or the cause of your downfall.
You need to recognize it, be aware of it, laugh at it, and finally work together with your ego to be your best self.
Break the bonds of your ego.
Otherwise, when will you ever be enough?
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’ve created a mashup on this topic featuring three people who have learned to work with their ego, not for it: Taye Diggs, Ryan Holiday, and Justin Baldoni.
Taye Diggs is an actor and singer who is known for his roles on Broadway, TV, and Film. Ryan Holiday is the bestselling author of books about marketing, culture, and the human condition. His company, Brass Check, has advised companies such as Google, TASER, and Complex, as well as multi-platinum musicians and some of the biggest authors in the world. Justin Baldoni is an actor, director, and filmmaker who currently plays Rafael Solano on the award-winning show Jane the Virgin.
These men have all experienced success in their careers, but they have to constantly work on keeping a healthy ego so that they do not self-destruct. It’s a daily battle.
So get ready to learn what it takes to master your ego on Episode 755.

WHERE YOUR FOCUS GOES, YOUR ENERGY WILL FLOW.
How do you define yourself?
Do you use words like “ugly,” “fat,” or “shy?”
Social media and advertising like to tell us that we’re not enough. But you don’t have to live by anyone else’s definition-you have the power to create your own.
Write your own view of yourself. Right now. Do it.
What you believe you will be is what you will become.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’m sharing a powerful presentation from The Summit of Greatness from a musician who redefined a genre and herself: Lindsey Stirling.
Lindsey Stirling is a violinist, dancer, performance artist, composer, and singer who presents amazing choreographed violin performances. Stirling was second place on last year’s Dancing With The Stars, has been named Forbes magazine's 30 Under 30 In Music, and was a quarter-finalist position on America's Got Talent season five.
Billions of people have now watched her videos on YouTube.
Lindsey struggled with depression and anorexia. It wasn’t until she decided to change her thought patterns about herself and about her future that became the powerful musician we know today.
So get ready to learn how to create your own definition for your life on Episode 749.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A BOOK, HOW WOULD YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO GO?
Whatever it is that you want to do in this new year- declare it.
Tell everyone.
One of the scariest things you can do is to admit your goals. What if you fail?
But saying your intentions out loud allows the universe and those around you to make them a reality.
Holding yourself accountable to what you really want won’t be easy, but it will force you to dig deep.
No one knows this better than my guest on today’s special episode of The School of Greatness. I’m sharing a speech from this year’s Summit of Greatness with an inspirational athlete and author: Amy Purdy.
Amy Purdy is a para-snowboarder, motivational speaker, clothing designer and New York Times bestselling author. She is a 2014 Paralympic bronze medalist, 2018 Paralympics silver medalist, and co-founder of Adaptive Action Sports. In 2013, She was named one of the top 15 most marketable para-athletes in the world by the International Olympic Committee.
Amy has competed on CBS’s The Amazing Race and ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, eventually becoming the show’s runner-up.
Amy used a tragedy that took her feet to push her to the next level. She teaches us to use obstacles not as a reason stop but as a springboard to new ideas.

MARKETING IS MORE THAN A LOGO.
If your struggling in an area of your life, it could be due to marketing.
Marketing isn’t just important in your business.
It’s in every area of your life.
Everything you do is designed to attract or repel others.
The way that you’re telling your story and selling yourself has a lot to do with who is willing to get on board.
That’s why I wanted to bring back a conversation I had on The School of Greatness with a master marketer: Joe Polish.
Joe Polish is the founder of Genius Network® and co-founder of the popular podcast ILoveMarketing.com. Joe’s marketing expertise has been utilized to build thousands of businesses and has generated hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients, ranging from large corporations to small family-owned businesses.
Joe has helped raise over $3 million for Virgin Unite, Sir Richard Branson’s foundation. His current passion projects include JoeVolunteer.com, ArtistsForAddicts.com, and GeniusRecovery.com. Joe’s mission is to help change the global conversation surrounding addiction and addicts from one of judgement to one of compassion.
Joe makes the point that marketing is something you have to learn.
It’s all about setting people up to be interested in what you’re offering so that you don’t have to rely on talking them into it.
