Last week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Marc Guberti; who has written over 18 books and is the host of the Breakthrough Success Podcast where he’s had guests like Seth Godin, Neil Patel, and Ray Edwards. It was while he was speaking about some of his most successful guests and how they all have systems in place, that our interests were particularly piqued.

It was a great reminder of how important systems are, not only in business, but also in our general lives. It’s that concept of having internal and external systems in place that we’re diving more into today. Enjoy!

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Blake dispels the myth that you must wear hard work like a badge of honor to be successful
  • The irony of saying you don’t have time to put systems in place
  • The importance of realizing you deserve to be supported
  • Ivy’s takeaway from Marc’s interview about a book that is sexist but also powerful in a positive way
  • Why we shouldn’t just focus on external forms of support
  • How “acting as if” can help you manifest what you truly want
  • The mindset you must have to be adaptable and successful
  • How we constantly set ourselves up for failure
  • The road trip that caused Ivy to change how she goes through life
  • How Blake’s productivity has increased 50% since he gave up his to-do list

Last week, we spoke with Anna Nti-Asare who is a writer, teacher, counselor, a PhD student at Cambridge University. We were really inspired by Anna’s transparency in talking about all the times she wasn’t able to obtain the goals she set for herself and how she valued those times since they made her work harder and appreciate her successes even more.

It’s that practice of gratitude that we’re diving into today and how is applies to our humanness and the global desire to obtain happiness.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • The main takeaway Ivy had from the conversation with Anna regarding a global truth and Buddhist psychology
  • How we can reduce our suffering by becoming grateful for it
  • Blake’s recent unpleasant experience that ended up being a great exercise in practicing gratitude
  • Why radical acceptance doesn’t mean resignation
  • Ivy’s belief that happiness is the motivator for why humans do everything they do
  • Blake’s belief that reducing suffering takes a higher priority for humans than seeking happiness
  • The power loss aversion has over human behavior and emotions
  • Why you can’t forget to have gratitude for your moments of gratitude
