“How far can you push your mind and body? You can probably push it farther than you can think.”

When faced with some of the bigger decisions in life, ask yourself, “In 20 years, when I look back, will I regret not doing this?” If the answer is yes, then you have your decision. This is advice from today’s guest, Bryan Gillette. He’s a man who left a successful career as a Human Resources executive to start his own coaching business and never looked back. He also cycled across the United States, and later, 205 miles (329 Kilometres) around Lake Tahoe. Bryan helps people break through their boundaries and think bigger. Bryan believes it’s our thoughts that determine our boundaries and that if you can find what you love and what you’re good at, you will find success.

Expert action steps:

1. Ask yourself, “will I regret doing this in 20 or 30 years down the road?”

2. Identity a few things you want to do before you leave the planet. Choose one of them and write down one thing you can do in the next 72 hours that will move you forward. Repeat for your next goal.

Bryan has written Epic Performance: Lessons from 100 Executives & Endurance Athletes on Reaching Your Peak. The book provides a framework for simplifying the steps to take toward your biggest dreams and goals.

“Always ask why. You must know what’s going on all around you. But if you want a really interesting life, don’t say why, say why not.”

When you open doors in your mind, opportunities in the tangible world will present themselves. Jan Meek learned a very simple and very powerful lesson very early in life when she was taught to approach life with a ‘why not?’ attitude. After opening that door in her mind, there was nothing stopping her from earning four Guinness World Records. Two for rowing across the Atlantic in 101 days with her son, and two for racing 403 miles to the North Pole. Before that, her first ‘why not’ landed her a job in the film and TV industry working with names like Johnny Goodman, Roger Moore, and Sammy Davis Junior. As fate would have it, when Jan landed in Barbados after crossing the Atlantic, she met ‘Canada’s Coach’ and international public speaker, Raymond Aaron, who encouraged her to share her inspiring stories on the stage as a public speaker. She’s now in the process of writing, Chicken Soup For The Ocean Lover’s Soul and her auto biography, Meek & Wild.

“Being brave and courageous is doing something that everyone in that room hates. That’s true bravery…Exposing your friends virtue signalling and hypocrisy… that takes courage.” - Phelim McAllen on producing movies.

It takes extreme courage to step forward and tell the truth when the truth isn’t popular. But that’s exactly what Phelim McAleer did when he and his team produced My Son Hunter. The Hunter Biden story has been told but mainstream media has been controlling the narrative and covering up the truth. With a high production value, a powerful cast, and a thirst for truth in the masses, it’s no wonder My Son Hunter has gone viral. Maurence Fox plays Hunter Biden, John James plays Joe, Emma Gojkovic plays Grace Anderson, Gina Carano plays Agent Hound, and it was directed by Robert Davi.

Phelim is a producer of many truth films against the narrative, including The ObamaGate Movie, Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer, Not Evil Just Wrong, Mine Your Own Business: The Dark Side of Environmentalism.
