Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄... 🏆🔥 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: 𝗕𝗼𝗯 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴 For over 30 years Bob has been successfully showing entrepreneurs, leaders, and sales professionals how to communicate their value and accelerate their business growth. Although for years Bob was best known for his sales classic "Endless Referrals"... it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver, that he co-authored with John David Mann that has created a worldwide movement. The Go-Giver itself has sold more than one million copies and been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of The Most Motivational Books Ever Written...  AND was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time. Bob is the founder of The Go-Giver Community Network, an incredible online business community created by and for Go-Givers. Bob is an advocate, supporter, and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and served on the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption & Clinic in his town of Jupiter, Florida. 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 💥 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘:   🏆 Bob talks about his insights into "Giving"... and where his open and genuine approach to living life and doing business came from. And how he experienced and witnessed that sustainably, successful people - mentally, emotionally, relationally, socially - that made the most money, genuinely, and from their heart... provided the most value to others.  🔥 I asked Bob about his very calm and confident nature...Where does that come from? Bob shares how as he's got older he's become more confident...and worries less about things than he did when he was younger. And how adopting that older mindset when you're younger can help ground you. 🏆 How challenges in Bob's life have supported his own growth and built upon his resilience. His insights into resilience... including the ability to dust yourself and get back up again... Getting past the "no's"... Re-framing "no's"...  And self acceptance and acknowledging that it's ok that the "no's" don't feel so good. Letting that feeling pass through you... So you don't have to fear the "no's". 🔥 What "drive by mentor" means... People that come into our lives at the most unexpected times...That we may, or may never, speak to or see again. And how they just happen to say the exact thing we need to hear, and are ready to hear, at that moment.  🏆 The "one golden nugget" of advice from a “drive-by mentor” that totally shifted Bob's perspective and played a big role in his success...  ..."if you want to make a lot of money in sales, don't have making money as your target...Your target is serving others... When you hit that target your reward will come in form of money".  🔥 Bob shares that great Salesmanship is about the other person, that you're trying to bring value too. It's about another person's life being better, just because you're a part of it. 🏆 We discuss how when you come at sales from scarcity, it feels uncomfortable, because it goes against your core values. 🔥 "Giving", focusing on providing value, doesn't mean that you're not "receiving".  💥 Why it's important to study prosperity. 🏆 Bob shares The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success...And how it applies to "Giving" and "Receiving".... The Law of Value - Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. The Law of Compensation - Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. The Law of Influence - Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first. The Law of Authenticity - The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. The Law of Receptivity - The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving  🔥 We discuss that it doesn't matter what your financial situation is, we all have value to provide. 🏆 The Golden Rule of Business and Sales..."All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like, and trust." 🔥 As a strong Resilient man... Bob shares what resilience means to him... Whether we're men or women, we can learn from others and learn from our own life experiences... In many ways, as amazing human beings, we are much more alike than we are different. 🏆 Bob shares how we can implement and apply "The Go-Giver" way... and asking "how do I provide value to this person?" "Is this going to bring value to this person".  And that value is subjective and why it's important not to assume that what we would find of value, is what someone else would find of value.  And why it's important to pay attention, ask questions, listen... so we can add value. And touch the lives of others.  🔥 Bob shares his insights into "authenticity" and acting congruently with your values.     You can connect with Bob here... https://thegogiver.com/ https://burg.com/ https://www.facebook.com/burgbob http://www.linkedin.com/in/bobburg https://www.instagram.com/realbobburg/ - Bob’s Daily Impact emails are available on his websites. - Along with links to The Go-Giver Series of Books by Bob Burg and John David Mann. - And you can discover the amazing ways that you can work with Bob on Bob's websites and following Bob on social media.     Mandy "Resilience Mastery" Gibbons  Resilience And Emotional Resilience Coach For Men http://mandygibbons.com/ #resilience #resilienceformen #mandygibbons #bobburg #gogiver

Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show... 🔥🏆 SPECIAL GUEST: "Dr Nick" - Dr Nicholas Mabbott 👉🏼💥 If you've ever struggled with lack of sleep, putting off sleep... OR insomnia... TODAY'S PODCAST IS A "MUST WATCH!" Specialising in Sleep and Fatigue Management for 25 years ... Dr Nick has been in front of 25000 people...with his expertise... Today he's going to be sharing the right time for most people to get to bed and get sleep and how to get the right amount of sleep... and increase your quality of sleep. If you drive tired... YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS... THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! We talk about the affects of alcohol and sleep... The various processes the body utilises sleep to help your brain flush out toxins... And why you're feeling foggy and exhausted. When you hear about WHY this happens...It'll put a whole new spin of respect on sleep for you. The affects of lack of sleep and weight gain... especially if you're exercising regularly. This podcast episode... is going to be-life changing for so many of you. It's a ripper!... You'll pen and paper for this one, for sure. Enjoy! Thankyou again, Dr Nick! ---------- JUST SOME OF THE GOLD 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🔥 Sleep cleans the brain!... You'll love how this works. This is game changing when it comes to quality of life and health! 🏆 Every time we sleep it cleans the brain. We need about 1 hour sleep for every 2 hours awake. You will basically clean all the rubbish you have accrued during the day. 🔥 Proteins and plaques that are built up in the brain from lack of sleep...and how it ages the brain. 🏆 Dr Nick explains the process in simple fun terms... How the brain uses huge amounts of ATP... And the adverse affects of that when we aren't allowing ourselves to get sufficient sleep. 🔥 17 to 19 hours of sustained wakefulness... if you jump in a car and drive it's equivalent to having a blood alcohol content of .05 🏆 There's a difference between feeling sleepy... and a tired brain. 🔥 WATCH THIS IF YOU DRIVE WHEN YOU'RE TIRED... The problem with road safety messages... What to do if you're feeling tired when driving. And how to pull over and rest more effectively. The benefits of that. THIS IS GOLD. The misconception about pulling over for a few minutes and drinking caffeine. What to do so you're brain gets a rest. eg... Have a double shot of caffeine, lay in the back of the car (not at the wheel), and have a 20 minute sleep. Dr Nick explains the reasons behind this. 🏆 When you start the day with reduced sleep... with toxins in your brain... because you haven't been able to clean your brain properly because of the lack of sleep... You then need extra sleep to help the brain recover. 🔥 How people have microsleeps when you're driving... and you don't even realise it. If you're driving at 100kms per hour that 27.8 metres per second with your eyes closed. 🏆 The importance of staying hydrated and having proper breaks when driving. Dr Nick gives an example of one of his own road trips in Tasmania. 🔥 Dr Nick shares the Mabbott Method... And how to re-program your body and mind when you feel like you're a "night-owl". 🏆 What to do when you suffer from insomnia. THIS IS BRILLIANT! And the 2 x sleep waves. 1st sleep wave is a 5 minute gateway to sleep. If you miss that, then you need to wait for the second one. 🔥 Dr Nick shares how the impact of ruminating on a disagreement with your partner / loved one, the mental exhaustion and distraction from that while on the road... is equivalent to texting while driving. And what to do in that situation. 🏆 The different stages of sleep... POWERFUL. How to utilise that to help you be more mentally resilient and cheerful the next day. The benefits of serotonin from getting a decent sleep. 🔥 How lack of sleep can cause weight gain...causing the body to store more body fat. This is VERY COOL... How even when you're exercising, if you're body is struggling due to long hours and lack of sleep... you can continue to put on bodyfat, versus reducing it. 🏆 Teenagers need 9 hours sleep for quality of life and to support mental health...The benefits of sleep for teenage athletes 🔥 How alcohol affects sleep and it's different stages... and your body's ability to heal and learn. 🏆 The benefits of sleep for entrepreneurs.

Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show... 🔥🏆 GUEST: George V Helou 💥 Along with having with over 20,000 hours and decades of coaching behind him... Creating EP7 (Empowered for Purpose in 7 Steps), UFIND... and the EP7 Life Coach Academy... Authoring 2 books that became Australian best sellers... being mentored by Dr Deepak Chopra... George has also represented Australia by taking the seat on the International Council of the World Kindness Movement... Creating Kindness Culture Workshops and Facilitation Training for Kindness Ambassadors in 22 countries... And giving a virtual presentation at the International Kindness Conference in Switzerland in October 2019 to begin training the facilitators. George brings it "big time" in this podcast episode as he shares his story and the process of UFIND - The Breakthrough. As a UFIND Certified Coach myself - being trained by George... and loving being involved in the process of UFIND... This logic based, zero judgement, structured process, consistently pumps out insights...Helping people empower themselves. I'm incredibly honoured to have George on the podcast today. JUST SOME OF THE GOLD 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🔥 George shares how he started out in the personal development industry... something that I know many of you will resonate with... 🏆 The dark side of the personal development industry... how it can be addictive and breed co-dependency... with people not actually implementing into their lives, what they've learnt from personal development events, courses and so forth. 🔥 How a controlled existential crisis made George realise nothing was what it seemed... and he decided he needed to become more curious and humble... learning how to discern more effectively. 🏆 George shares how EP7 came about, the powerful creation of that - Empowered for Purpose in 7 Steps (digging into who are you, why are you so adaptive and powerful... And how can you use that to create a life that your heart really wants.) 🔥 Which then lead to UFIND being created. A less comprehensive version of EP7...a super practical and effective process... that could be taken into the Mining Industry and work culture. 🏆 Which is how I (Mandy - A Resilience Coach For Men) got involved with George and UFIND. 🔥 We share how UFIND encourages self awareness and intuition at the same time... George breaks down what it means to be an intuitive coach... and explains my own intuition (which comes naturally to me)... in a very cool way... thankyou so much, George. 🏆 How UFIND brings validation, insights and clarity to situations, challenges in your life... to bring forth breakthroughs. 🔥 George talks about perfectionism...the understanding of what that actually is... how it affects men and women... the shame of letting others down. The pressure of that. How we can torture ourselves with that. 🏆 We talk about the pressure that mounts when someone is doing FI/FO, the lifestyle. How the expectation of what it will be, the results from the pressure, may not be or feel like what you'd hoped. And how it can unravel us. 🔥 George talks about his own challenges with perfectionism. How he was in denial and how it effected those around him. How being able to move through this has been one of the most incredible achievements in his life. 🏆 UFIND - THE BREAKTHROUGH... (25 mins into the podcast and onwards)...What the acronym represents and how this incredible process works. 🔥 How it's important to detach and know that it's OK to not understand a situation that is taking place... because it opens you up to possibilities... to better options. 🏆 George shares the importance of emotions and identifying them... so you can tune into what you're feeling... so you can look at why you're feeling that way... without judgment. 🔥 Why it's important to validate yourself, how you're feeling, and to see where your assumptions are. Seeing how we're severing ourselves away from our wisdom... During the UFIND process you get to find that wisdom again... versus feeling lost and overwhelmed. 🏆 How UFIND helps you find balance again, so you can make powerful decisions in any area of your life. Offering yourself a new clear perception so you can take forward moving action. 🔥 George talks about how compassion and being there for people...who have been hurt, traumatised... how people just want to be heard. You'll love this part of the conversation... it's freaking beautiful. 🏆 Dealing with sociopathic behaviour and the fear of feeling confronted. 🔥 The safe place that UFIND creates within a coaching environment, and within yourself, to move through each stage of the decision making process. And being OK that you're a work in progress. 🏆 George shares how the subconscious is not our enemy. How we can make peace with it and utilise UFIND to make friends with it and allow ourselves to be at ease with it... and kinder to ourselves. 🔥 Change fatigue is REAL... allowing ourselves to not take ourselves so seriously. And caring about yourself. Taking time for yourself brings creativity and fun into our lives. And more peace. 🏆 We talk about the truth about "Purpose" and the trap around purpose that people fall into. How to tap into purpose so that you thrive in life now, so it's value based... versus pushing ourselves to feel obligated "to be someone" or "something" that we don't want to be. Thankyou, George.

And his personal awe-inspiring story, his passion, with over 40 years experience in the mental health space. ...And how a sliding door moment - lead him to be involved in the promotion of mental health and suicide prevention. Mo got me sharing my story of what led to my brain trauma, which I hadn't shared publicly... Thankyou, Mo. JUST SOME OF THE GOLD 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🔥 Mo shares how even when he was in secondary school, he found that people came to him for support, to talk about him about the issues they were experiencing. 🏆 ...Which inspired Mo to study for 3 years as an undergrad in Psychology... learning about the complexities of the mind. 🔥 9 years ago Mo was head hunted for a director role... it was extremely challenging over a number of dimensions... 8 months into the role and being dedicated to wanting to succeed and make a difference... Mo found himself burnt out. 🏆 Mo explains how quickly things started to change for him experiencing overwhelm and anxiety and espisodial depression. And realised that his own personal values clashed with corporate values. 🔥 Left wondering at 50 years old, what his next steps were. Mo's episodial depression became manic and Mo then started to consider suicide. Leading to him writing a suicide note and having a plan to execute ending his life. 🏆 Mo and I discuss, even though you can have the most loving family, and people around you that love you, who care about you and want to support you... And how you disassociate with others, isolate yourself, the darkness and the despair that's experienced... that other's don't understand. Making it difficult to opening yourself up to help. 🔥 Mo shares how grateful he is that he didn't take his own life... and for taking the significant steps he took to get to where he is now. And it's helped him relate to others and be relatable to others, going through mental health challenges. 🏆 Mo and I discuss how fatigued you become during mental health challenges... With Mo sharing one of his own experiences on this. 🔥 Mo shares his awesome "mantra" about the small steps to take when recovering. And how important baby steps are. And we talk about how going through this raises our own awareness of how we're feeling, so when you're going through challenging times, you're able to pick up on that, to ensure you take care of your mental health. 🏆 How moving beyond that, Mo has been able to impact so many amazing people with this passion, his story... and spending time sharing and conversing with others about mental health and suicide prevention. And coaching and mentoring. 🔥 Mo's simple model of A B C, keeping a thumb on the pulse of what's happening around you. 🏆 We talk about perfectionism... and the response you can have to it. How it can be debilitating...and can affect your mental health and quality of life. 🔥 The awesome mental health check-in tool that Mo's been involved with... so you can see where you're at with your own mental health, self help tool... that's designed to positively impact globally 1 million lives. It can be used to take to your doctor, coach, counsellor... and they use the results as a screening tool. It's Anonymous. An amazing pre-emptive tool. And the campaign to help support the construction industry, with 10,000 mental health check-ins. The construction industry is losing a person to suicide every 2 days. 🏆 We talk about what we can ask when we're concerned about someone and their mental health... and being supportive. 🔥 How scary it can be if you're afraid of what will happen when you open up the can of worms, especially for men, of sharing what you've been bottling up. And the awesome relief of getting help, having a conversation and not having to hang onto it any more... when you find the help that you're able to connect with and feel safe enough to do that. 🏆 Mo shares how important compassion is when it comes to mental health... and life in general. And how doing acts of compassion every day, showing kindness, the ripple effect of that. 🔥 We talk about rest, recovery, taking care and making friends with your heart.

Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show... 🔥 SPECIAL GUEST: Mitch Morton Mitch is the Founder of the Mr Anxiety project 🔥✊🏆 Mitch shares his own personal story of severe Anxiety and how it affected his childhood, his teens and his career as a Aussie Rules Footy player in the AFL (Australian Football League). Ripping apart Mitch’s life until he hit rock bottom in 2018. For 5 years after finishing playing professional sport, Mitch had been spiraling, living in different cities, changing jobs and he couldn’t settle. He was looking for things outside of himself to make the anxiety go away. In 2018 Mitch had a moment where he could see the damage that anxiety had done. In that moment he was so angry with his anxiety that he decided he was going to put life on hold and figure out exactly what anxiety was and how he could beat it. Mitch shares his journey of trying psychologists, meds, online courses, seminars and everything he could find to fix it over the 15-year period but he wanted to go deeper... To where he is now... A deep understanding of Anxiety... having created his own model of what anxiety is and how he has been able to manage it and overcome what has been the greatest obstacle in his life. JUST SOME OF THE GOLD 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🏆 Mitch shares how, as a 7 year old, experiencing severe anxiety and not understanding what it was...how terrifying and confusing it was for him as a child. 🔥 How Mitch hid his anxiety throughout his life and didn't realise what it was until he 23. 🏆 Developing nervous ticks, when he was trying to sit still and was anxious. How performance anxiety, throwing up before events had become part of his life... It becoming increasingly challenging because he didn't feel he could tell anyone. 🔥 How overthinking about it... and it playing on his mind... affected his life. 🌅🌊We chat about how as a 15 year old (around year 10 in high school) it got really bad and he started to withdraw, not answer his phone or texts, not want to talk to anyone, stopped participating in sporting events... and staying in his room. 🙏 AND then... being thrust into the AFL. Performance anxiety, coming up maybe once a week when playing sports... then took over his life. It all became too much. Affecting his relationships. 🏆 Mitch shares how anxiety works and his own years of effort to figure out what was wrong with him. And the moment he found out that he had anxiety. 💥🔥 The different methods, meds, techniques to try and find a solution for his anxiety while also trying to perform at his best as an AFL player. Playing AFL was his dream. Trying to keep up lead to him overdosing on anti-psychotic medication, which he was taking to help with his anxiety. 🏆 We discuss his coming off that medication... And feeling frustrated that other techniques, methods, psychologists... nothing was working. He started to numb it with vices drinking, other drugs, sex. 💥How after a relationship breakup... He got angry with this anxiety, blaming his anxiety for how it was ruining his life. And how getting angry with it turned things around for him... 🏆 This lead him on a journey of self discovery with his anxiety... Leading him to figuring out a way to manage it and overcome it. 🏆 Mitch shares what he's learnt in this podcast... Including the tools and techniques he uses. And discusses the incredible quality of life he now has... ...Including being a public speaker and helping others with anxiety. 🔥 We talk about mindfulness. Self Acceptance, self compassion...

Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show... 🔥🏆 GUEST: Joey O'Dell This episode 😀 actually started as a cruisey coffee ☕🌊 catch-up via zoom to discuss doing a podcast episode... BUT... ...We got on a roll, were vibing, ✊🏼 it was recording - so we went with it... 💥THERE'S GOLD in conversations, baby! Joey is... The Keynote Speaker & Coach at O-NU Host of Naked Reality Podcast And.. Keynote Speaker & Mentor at Joey O'Dell - Ownership Coach Joey's shares his personal journey of struggling with mental health and attempting suicide... to now helping others transform their lives... Including his workshops for children and teens. We also talk about how his dad leaving early in his life, and then finding out when he wanted to get in touch with his dad, that he had passed away... How this affected his relationship and connections with men. JUST SOME OF THE GOLD 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🔥 Joey shares how not having men in his life to support him when he was at his lowest, has impacted his own personal growth of healing and supporting others. And why it's so important for men to talk and be open to understanding their emotions. We also discuss what to say to a man when he's opening up, versus saying "you'll be right, mate". 🏆 Why "running away" from a man's vulnerable share or conversation can bring more shame to him, and guilt, from burdening you with that... Especially when he's struggling to understand his own emotions and how he's feeling about what's going on for him in that moment. 🔥 Joey discusses his passion and work in educating children and teens on mental health, resilience... and suicide prevention. And helping them get in touch with their emotions and arming them with the tools to be able to deal with challenges. 🏆 How, as adults and children, we're programmed to be afraid of feeling and experiencing the darkness within us. And how by being afraid of it... it spirals us into more darkness. And when we arrive at those times in our lives with darkness such as depression, suicidal thoughts... we don't know how to deal with them because we haven't been taught how. ...Especially if we haven't experienced that before. We spend so much of our resources on our happy times...often the darkness is pushed aside, because people don't want to go there. 🔥 Changing the perception of how we see challenges in life. Speak our truth of the shitty stuff we're going through. 🏆 Offering ourselves understanding and running through the emotions. And how having the awareness and education to do this is life-changing. 🔥 How what we discover about ourselves gives us the opportunity to transforming guiding our own life. And how we can treat it like an internal adventure. 🏆 How looking internally and taking baby steps creates momentum and growth... Versus looking externally for distractions and vices (alcohol, drugs, p-rn, gambling) so we don't have to "be" or "sit" with ourselves internally. 🔥 How you can be grounded and have an inner peace "high"... allowing yourself to be 100% present to capture and create incredible experiences in your life. 🏆 Why taking ownership for yourself, in each moment, puts you in the drivers seat of life. It doesn't matter what is going on for you in your life, it's your responsibility to choose how you deal with it and move through it. 🔥 Why blaming others for whatever is taking place in your world right now... doesn't change what's happened... You get to choose how you react to it personally... Which affects your decision making power. 🏆 We discuss the B.S. behind mindset... Why it's important to create your own inner resilience versus trying to adopt someone else's. Trying to be someone else, think like someone else... makes it more challenging... because it's not coming from within you. 🔥 Why we give up so easy... How we've become addicted to quick fix inspiration from social media. We can watch quick inspirational videos of people flawlessly doing great things. It looks easy. We go from feeling down to feeling high fast... So we've programmed ourselves to thinking we should be able to have quick highs with everything. This was an awesome catch-up turned podcast episode. And a lot of fun too.

Mandy Gibbons Podcast Show... SPECIAL GUEST: Paul Cale Paul is the CEO of Kinetic Fighting, Special Forces Veteran and Internationally renowned Martial Artist.  I hold Paul in high regard BIG TIME... I'm incredibly honoured and grateful for his time jumping on this podcast episode...  JUST SOME OF THE GOLD IN THIS EPISODE: How on a spiritual, mental and physical level both Martial Arts, serving as a Commando and life experience... has played a huge role in how Paul deals with adversity. ...As well as helping and inspiring others to do so. How going in search of looking for things that we excel at and that helps us rise as human beings... how both martial arts and the army fueled Paul's drive for discipline and excellence. How Kinetic Fighting personally impacted me, when I attending the training a couple of years ago that Paul led. And how it helped me prepare for when "shit hits the fan in real life". How Kinetic Fighting helps soldiers assimilate. The impact this is having. I love this! How a hand-to-hand combat situation lead to Paul being asked to redevelop the Close Quarter Fighting (CQF) in Special Forces, and co founding the Second Commando Regiment Integrated Combat Centre (ICC). Paul shares how and why it's important to stay focused in hand to hand combat... and in situations when he was serving. We chat about experiences that impacted him, where he questioned his beliefs about certain things. Paul's own personal journey in finding inner peace in civilian life. We discuss calming the monster within - referring to a Jordan Peterson quote. Paul sharing his own personal thoughts and experience. How having a martial arts background and mindset can help when making decisions when you're overwhelmed or in a heightened state - which can mess with your ability to making powerful moving forward decisions. Confidence and Resilience and adapting to situations depending on where you're at physically, mentally, spiritually... to overcome adversity and challenges... how this plays a huge role in building resilience. I ask Paul about his facility and newer projects of Close quarters shooting, high fidelity training, and Chiron armour - which is amazing!
