Powerful Podcasts

Some background: As I started on my journey towards better health and self improvement for both my mental and physical well-being, like some of you reading this, I started to search for additional resources to enrich my life. This was mainly found in the form of “powerful podcasts”, mostly by Entrepreneurs, but also a few other very accomplished business people. I really hope that the podcasts listed below bring some inspiration, helpful guidance, and much needed perspective that so many of us lack. But above all, I hope that it brings you all a tonne of value.

If there are any others that you have listened to and found value in, please let me know in the comments section below so that I too can learn and continue to grow, as well as adding to the ever growing list. I hope that you gain as much value from this as I have!

 

The Gary Vee Audio Experience – Gary Vaynerchuk

  • Background: If you have not come across some form of media that Gary Vaynerchuk has produced (or his company), you may well have been living under a rock! More information can be found through the links below, but basically, Gary has continued to be at the forefront of social media and internet technologies for roughly 2 decades. It started with his Dad’s wine business (Wine Library), but has broken into the mainstream through his company Vaynermedia, where he has gained a lot of attention for all the free social media marketing advice he gives across all his channels.

The MFCEO Project – Andy Frisella

  • Background: Andy is a die hard Entrepreneur with a “take no prisoner’s” approach to business and life. He runs and is CEO of multiple companies doing multiple millions of dollars in sales each year, with his company Supplement Superstore being where it all began. Now, just by knowing that title of the podcast the ‘MFCEO’ stands for the ‘Mother F#cking CEO’, gives you a good idea about what kind of dude Andy is. He is super passionate about helping others to realise their own true potential and provide them with valuable and practical advice for both life and business. However, he takes no excuses, no bullshit, and no complaining if you have the ambition to achieve something truly great with your life. Andy is 100% real with his advice for you and helping you understand that it takes a ridiculous amount of work and grit, but that it can be done, as he has lived (and continues to live) the advice that he provides.
  • Big ideas: Work, Kill Kill Kill, Stop Complaining, Grit, It’s a Decision, etc.

The Joe Rogan Experience – Joe Rogan

  • Background: A man with a number of passions; a stand up comedian, host of The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, a Mixed Martial Artist, Psychedelic Experimenter, and passionate Health and Longevity preacher, among other things. Joe’s Podcast is one of the most popular across the podcast platform and he always has quality discussions on very interesting topics with interesting people and experts of their field; from other Comedians, Artists, and Musicians, to MMA Fighters and Scientists. I find the episodes about health and exercise to be the most interesting and thought provoking, as well as a different source to discover a new Health Professional that I may not of heard of before.
  • Big ideas: The 9-5 Rat Race, Doing work is the most rewarding pursuit in life, You have no absolutely nothing to complain about, Your body is like a super car and choosing to exercise it and eat healthy food is like putting premium fuel in the engine and getting a daily service; it is your vessel, where you have to live your life. (I am sure I have missed a lot here but, you get the idea).

Impact Theory – Tom Bilyeu

  • Background: Tom was one of the people who were instrumental in the success of Quest Nutrition (the 2nd fastest growing public company of 2014) and the Co-Founder of Impact Theory (It!).  The mission at It! is to “Free people from the Matrix”, which is essentially to end the poverty of poor mindset. Tom is super driven and focused, which is reflected in a common quote heard from him; “If I am awake, I am either working or working out”. The idea is to ‘expand people’s vision of wellness to a 360-degree view that encompasses body and mind… to help people develop the skills they will need to improve themselves and the world”. This is achieved through live interviews from accomplished and significant people in their field with high levels of success, to provide insights on topics such as motivation, focus, mindset, grit, determination, goal setting, and grinding things out.
  • Big ideas: Free yourself from the Matrix; take the red pill, Mental Toughness is developed through continual struggle, Head straight at the things that scare you most, Nutrition and Exercise are super important for clarity and function, If you want to get better at something you need to put in the work, etc.
