As you know, it’s my mission to help teach you how to build the MINDSET and SKILLS that will help you live an extraordinary life - and over the last few months I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to help create a brand-new tool that will help you do that. It’s called Kyzen - and I am proud to announce that I will be bringing it to the world later this year to challenge you to empower yourself and accomplish greater things in life.

Big goals require DISCIPLINE. By it's very nature, discipline requires you to do hard things - and that is a skill you can LEARN. I'm teaching my process to build Ironclad Discipline in a new workshop - you can register at discipline.impacttheory.com!

On Today's Episode:

When you come across people who have success in multiple areas of their life you want to know, what’s the secret? What do they know and what are they doing that you can possibly entertain doing for yourself?

Dave Asprey may remind you of the Bulletproof Diet, and you may be familiar with him from his podcast, The Human Upgrade, but he’s also a successful entrepreneur several times over. In this episode he and Tom cover Dave’s expansive breadth of knowledge around health, fasting, and living as long as possible, while getting into top level insights of what it means to be a game changer in business.

“You must build practices that prevent you from falling prey to those basic instincts that make you a short-term thinker.” -Dave Asprey

Your health should be one of your highest priorities. Dave reminds us to keep it simple and be mindful that even small changes can have major benefits in the long run, and when you’re ready to take those benefits to the next level, there is always another simple change to be made to your lifestyle, diet and habits that will optimize your health.
