How to Create a Bulletproof Mindset & Be More Resilient Starring Kevin Paulraj.

I was honoured to have the opportunity to interview Mindset Coach Kevin Paulraj over the Christmas holidays in 2023.
Kevin has been featured by news outlets like Business Insider, Yahoo News & New York Weekly and is a mindset expert renowned for coaching thousands globally via his keynotes and life & business programs.
During my interview with Kevin he discusses:
The four things that help people to build a bulletproof mindset, purpose and why you exist, discipline, doing what you say, developing self-love, the power of alchemy to turn things around, maintaining consistency, values that are most important to us, verse those that are least important, breakthrough procrastination, things that inspire you, natural flow, living authentically, expressing your true self, standing up for yourself and taking charge, the response in the middle, the little voice in your head, using your intuition to push past your ego, non-attachment to the result, mastering self-love, the mind broken up into parts, self-judgement, staying calm and collected in the midst of a crisis, mindset shifting, adjusting to suffering, leveraging our obstacles, being resilient, turning problems into solutions, learning to laugh at your problems, personal productivity, the elements of productivity, giving yourself mini challenges, and using the streaks app to track your daily habits.
Some of the key insights that Kevin shared throughout the interview include:
Pride comes before the fall. Anytime you go into pride you’ll experience a consequence. The game is about keeping yourself in the middle being as authentic and centred as you possibly can.
When you lie to yourself and you want to do things for the accolades, then you end up being inauthentic and it takes you a longer time to master something.
Now when you’re saying, I don’t like another part of myself, what you are doing is you’re judging yourself. And when you’re judging yourself, that’s the antithesis of self-love.
People can look at one situation and say it’s the worst thing ever but someone else can look at the same situation and say it’s the best thing ever and the only thing that makes the difference is the question that they choose to ask.
The only difference between the levels is the is how many benefits that you see, and the more benefits you see of how the negative situation is serving you, is how resilient you’re going to be.
When a situation hits us, that’s reality, you can’t resist it. The obstacle is the way, our obstacles, our challenges, our suffering is the way, because that’s what builds our character, that’s what helps us become the person we need to be to go & achieve our dreams.
When you’re able to see that the traits that you want, the person that you want, the character that you want, is only going to be built by suffering, then it’s so much easier in the midst of suffering to look at a situation no matter how bad it is to see how it is serving us because it always is.
 
 

Unlocking the Warrior Mindset Starring Sebastian Bates Founder of The Warrior Academy.

It was an honour to have the opportunity to interview Sebastian Bates, not only a friend, but also someone I look up to, admire and see an incredible role model for the next generation of children and young people looking to develop their moral compass as they endeavour to navigate their way through the day to day challenges of life.
Sebastian Bates is the Founder of The Warrior Academy, an Entrepreneur, Mentor, Best Selling Author of the book, The Warrior Method, and host of the, “The Warrior Academy Podcast.” With a strong background in martial arts Sebastian launched a Martial Arts club in 2011 and Within 8 years it became a 7 figure, global organisation with 5,000 training, voted top 5 in the UK. By 2020 Sebastian was living in Dubai as the Personal trainer to the Royal Family and had launched a Global Anti Bullying campaign “Not A Victim,” which is regularly featured in the national press/radio.
During this episode I interview Sebastian about character development, self-discipline, parenting, ant-bullying, empowering children, protection verse over-protection, how to nurture your children, empowering children to become independent, preparing your child for adult life, the most important trait of parenting, getting through bullying, addressing negative attitudes towards bullying, developing your courage muscle, the three zones comprised of the comfort-zone, protection-zone, and the high performance-zone, dealing with hyper anxiety, and building resilience.
Some key points that were made included:
If the child is in the comfort-zone, the parents are in the comfort zone.
Parents need to step outside their comfort-zone first, and then encourage their child to follow them outside of it, then encourage them to do it on their own. This is how children move from the comfort-zone into the high performance-zone.
When a child is in the high performance-zone, it’s when they do something that is within their ability, but feels uncomfortable.
It’s in the arena of parenting that you really find out a lot about yourself and you have to learn how to live unselfishly. It’s a journey of self-discovery, just like Martial Arts.
We talk about Sebastian’s first gig as a Personal Trainer at the age of 19 running an Inner City Thai Boxing Club, the struggles that come with having no moral compass to guide you and lack of character, planting black belt seeds of good conduct, resilience, higher confidence, self-esteem, self-love, concentration, respect courtesy, integrity, moral values and good character.
Sebastian’s own unique story, living a life of adventure, taking huge risks pursuing base jumping around the world, while teaching martial arts in-between, how he escaped death and overcame the odds of never being able to walk again after a horrific wingsuit crash. While all this was going on, he ended up losing 15 of his closest friends doing the same sport that he loved. As this was happening, the Doctors treating him, believed he would remain disabled for the rest of his life and were shocked to see him make a full recovery.
Some final key points that were made included:
True fulfilment in life comes from serving others. Service through sacrifice leads to true fulfilment.
Life is not about chasing happiness, part of the human experience isn’t just about happiness, since it is like a fleeting emotion that you transition through.
The point of the human experience, is experiencing fulfilment and fulfilment is not a fleeting moment.
The happiest people on earth are the people who make the greatest contribution to humanity and the more you impact people, the more you empower them, and ultimately the more fulfilled you become.
If you can create a business which exists for a reason beyond making money, then suddenly you’re putting yourself in a position where you can have the worst financial year ever, but from an impact point of view, you might have had the best year ever.
 

Mastering Your Values & Financial IQ Starring Adnan Author of the Social Insanity Blog.

It was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to interview my friend Adnan Rasool, a world class Blogger who has studied philosophy, psychology, spirituality, relationships and financial IQ for over a decade and has excelled in the investment management and superannuation industry helping Australians create long term investment strategies to enable them to retire comfortably and live life on their own terms.
The wisdom offered in this episode is next level and I’m certain you’ll get a tone of value from it. In part 1 of this episode, we discuss how your values impact your life choices, break down your values hierarchy, understand how to become consciously aware of what your values are and avoid compromising them.
In  part 2, we discuss how our values and life choices impact our financial outcomes, what we can do to enhance our financial IQ, how to better manage our habits around money, and develop the emotional discipline that is required to become a brilliant investor.
Key points that stood out with regards to mastering our Values included:
There is always an opportunity cost of you doing anything.
Health is the only actual wealth and you build everything on top of it.
No amount of amazing relationships or money matters if you don’t have health.
Cognitive dissonance means that if the behaviour does not match the value, either the belief has to change or the behaviour has to change.
A good experience changes the way you do things, an amazing experience changes the way you think and that is priceless.
Self-awareness is the root of all self-improvement.
Key points that stood out with regards to mastering our Financial IQ included:
Financial IQ means that you have the freedom to choose how you spend your time and you have the freedom to liberate yourself.
Financial literacy in Australia is one of the lowest in the World, the financial literacy gap between women and men is quite large.
Only 36% of corporate workers in Australia are certain about their retirement
75% of all suicides in Australia are adult men which is more often than not due to financial stress. 40% of suicide attempts in Australia have been due to financial stress.
Money doesn’t solve problems, intelligence solves problems, you have to be smarter than money to make it work for you.
Money and pleasure are very cruel masters. There is no point making money if you’re going to blow it.
You must be willing to analyse your spending habits. Cynics always criticize, winners analyse, a pearl of wisdom from Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
It is better to be nerd who has financial freedom rather than to be a rockstar who is homeless.
Freedom from fear and greed is true freedom. There is only two ways to have enough, one is to seek more and more and the other is to be happy with less
