QUOTES:

“the most important thing for people as they get older, is to seek new experiences, and that's the thing that often doesn't happen, especially when somebody has retired” David Eagleman [7:35]

“...if you surround yourself by people that you want to be like, you hear them communicate, they change your brain, [...] you actually become more motivated, if you're next to people that are motivated.” Moran Cerf [22:14]

“the hardest thing about dieting people, they feel like the shift has to be complete and religious, and to me it's more glacial because the benefits will also take decades to accrue.” Rahul Jundial [24:19]

“I think brain training just means learning as a habit, one step past where you're comfortable.” Rahul Jundial [40:55]

If you set your mind to it, you truly can achieve it! Self doubt is the biggest hurdle you could face.

The mind is such a powerful tool if trained and handles the right way!

Hi guys! Let me just share to you a short story. We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we just graduated college and were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. I started it out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second one currently under construction but launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.

I love the fact you can change your brain even just by watching videos of people doing the things you want to do! Gives me hope!

Thanks Tom and Team!

Hi Tom, I have been watching and listening to you for a few years now, and absolutely love your content, and the way you interview your guests. You attract to your stage - and a stage is what it is - the best of the best. You have a lovely way of asking great questions, really listening to the answer, and then building upon it. You show interest in all of your guests, and clearly genuinely want to know something of what they know. Yes, yes, keep up the great work. I really appreciate you!

[TylerSinden]

Realizing and acknowledging that you're doing actions that are bringing you in the right way is a great way to keep motivation.

Bizarre. Wish I knew all this when I was at school. We were so bored, how did I learn anything at all is beyond me.

[petekelvin]

So hard to find nice content like this. I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability

Align yourself with who you are. Accept it, embrace it and just go with it. Things just start working from there.
