I'd just sold a company, my mom was in the thick of being very ill, and I wanted to take my consulting business to the next level. I'd had business coaches for two decades at that point. What I realized was that the thing standing between me and the next level wasn't more knowledge. It was my development as a leader and as a man.\nDax is a former British soldier who joined the army at 16, went airborne, then commando, then Special Operations as a reservist. He became the highest paid personal trainer in the UK within 18 months and stayed there for about 20 years. Then he got caught in the 2004 tsunami in Thailand with his family, spent hours in the water doing CPR and carrying bodies, and developed PTSD years later. Sleeping an hour and a half per week. None of the positive thinking material he'd built a career on helped him. So he went into neuroscience looking for an operating manual for the brain.\nHe calls himself a guru. Not the way people use it as an insult, but the actual Sanskrit meaning: someone who moves you from darkness toward light.\nThis is a conversation about identity, and it's the reason my faith went from something I'd been half in and half out of my whole life to something that's now part of who I am.\n5 Key Takeaways:\nYour brain is a pattern recognition machine. It uses patterns to create predictions, predictions to create responses, and responses to shape outcomes. Anxiety from a neuroscience standpoint is just threat, and threat is a lack of prediction or a bad prediction. Stop making things up, improve the quality of your prediction, and your anxiety comes down. You don't need affirmations. You need to give your brain what it actually wants.\nCertainty does not come from out there. Most people try to get it from the economy, the president, the market, their lead flow. That's the least...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZkCm_3Gu3cMZkINGaYJZ0gSRdcX5X3WtPf7v6JW5uRM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80MzQ5/MmM4MDIyN2QxNjMz/NTYwMzAxMzczMDJh/Y2UwYi5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
