Dolphins, bonobos, humans. Do you know what they all have in common? They are the only 3 species said to have sex for fun. Count me in. That’s an elite group I’ll consider to have a lifetime membership for. Sex can really be a great part of life. It was a big topic for us, here at BSL (in our past life when we were exclusive to lifestyle consulting for men), as we’ve received so many questions over the years from guys all over the world having big problems in that area. We found that they were making it the whole and sole focus of their life, instead of keeping it just a part of their life. When you’re being the highest version of yourself, the byproducts of success, money, recognition, influence and sex just abundantly flow into your life.

Problem solved.

It’s a new era of BSL, where we’re all coming together to solve various challenges facing the world and live in an inspiring way. Enter Amy Levine. She’s a really inspiring woman doing fantastic work and research in the fields of human sexuality and pleasure. While sex is one part of life, no one can or will deny that it is an exciting part of life. It’s something that can permeate through all other areas of life and ignite it in a way that few things can. Hell, if we’re conditioned with sexuality, we might as well take that programming and use it to our advantage. That’s the BSL way–to take everything that comes your way as an opportunity to move your life to the Next Level. Period. Your sexual energy is so powerful of a force that Napoleon Hill wrote a full chapter on it in Think And Grow Rich.

“It has the effect of lifting the individual far above the horizon of ordinary thought, and permits him to envision distance, scope, and quality of thoughts [otherwise] not available.” -Napoleon Hill

The point being to crystalize the energy of your sexual desire into a channel of focus directed towards the purpose of fulfilling some great goal. If that’s the case, let’s not waste any of that energy. Amy Levine is here to help you do just that in igniting your pleasure and your sex life. Sex is still very much taboo, but listen in below to hear how she busts through the myths and misconceptions surrounding sex with exciting insights from her years as a sex coach…

Nourishing Your Soul – BSL Insider Podcast

BSL Insider Exclusive: Dr. Ashley Solomon from “Nourishing-The-Soul” joins us on the show today.

ashley solomon body image

Many of us spend thousands of hours working on ourselves. In fact, we ALL spend 8,760 hours every year working on ourselves, communicating who we are and creating our lives. 8,760 is the number of hours you live in a year, and whatever that’s happening in your life, is largely a function of who you are. Gandhi once said, “my life is my message.” How we carry ourselves and the actions we take, result in some message that we ultimately are crafting and letting the world know. Nowhere is this more evident than in the work of body image psychology. Your self-image completely reflects the energy you show off in the world.

As a man, if you believe yourself to be a powerful, purposeful being then everywhere you walk, your walk will cast a shadow of purpose.

Or…

If you are a woman and your self-image tells you that you are radiant and beautiful then everywhere you go people will respond to you as if you have the wonder of a butterfly.

Sounds weird? Hardly. Body Image Psychology has been around for hundreds of years. Cosmetic surgeons and eating disorder specialists know more about this than anyone because its the crux of their daily work. Enter Dr. Ashley Solomon. Her mission is to help men & women cultivate a healthier mind, body, and spirit using the best practices there are in body image psychology. Listen in to the show today to discover how you can nourish your soul from the inside-out.

Our BSL Insider:

She’s created a valuable platform for people facing challenges with their body image.

Following Your Dream Like A Ninja – BSL Insider Podcast

BSL Insider Exclusive: Izzy from 30 Year Old Ninja joins us on the show today.

Izzy Whats Your Dream

Does anyone even dream anymore? These days it’s so easy to get caught up in all the news about the horrible thing happening over here and that tragedy over there. We are inundated with bad news and bad media. And the topic that ends up running a lot of self-help articles is FEAR.

“How To Handle Your Fear”
“The 7 Steps To Feeling The Fear And Doing It Anyway”
“Fear Is A Good Thing”
“Just Do The Fear”
“Own Your Fear”

Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea to me, to let fear become the theme of my Story. Not really. Dreams, on the other hand, are sexy. Having them feels sexy. Pursuing them makes you sexier of a person. So that leaves with living your dreams as the most sexiest thing you can do. Enter Ninja Izzy. He’s taken his life from one that is comfortable and ordinary to uncomfortable and extraordinary. He did the crazy thing and one day decided to pursue his dream of being a ninja. Literally. There’s something absolutely legitimate about following your dreams and being a ninja. Listen to the show to find out exactly how he did it, what steps he had to take mentally to embrace that path and how it all unfolded. This one is unique.

Our BSL Insider:

Izzy Pre-ninja teacher

A former middle school teacher from Los Angeles who quit his job to pursue an absurd dream… To become a ninja. Back in 2009 I was in the midst of a Masters program, working my way up the leadership pipeline and pretty much had it made as far as resume bullet points go. There was one slight problem…

I hated my job and the direction of my life…

So I made a change, a massive change. Over the course of 4 years I quit my job, moved to Japan, and now I train extensively in martial arts. I’m 30 years old and I’m trying to become a ninja. It might sound crazy, absurd, strange… It doesn’t matter!

Izzy has given TED talks overseas, created a platform for people to learn how to follow their dreams, coaches clients, etc. Again, he’s yet another person living totally outside the “Matrix” and is experiencing firsthand what its like to be fully alive. He’s being inspiration. He is a living, breathing, walking testament to what’s possible for you if you take responsibility and choose it.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

The critical first step you have to take to follow your dream for real
Izzy’s “Following Your Dream” mindset
How to utilize the power of willingness
What choosing allows you to do in terms of making your
The difference between the cause and effects
Specific pointers & finer distinctions on changing your story
How to become the Master Creator for everything in your life
The correlation between gratitude & having success
What the frame for supercharging your Story is
Secret benefit of practicing gratitude that carries over in every area of life
How to make a massive impact on a bigger scale
Why social responsibility in business is what really creates for more abundance
The critical life skills you have to have that you didn’t learn in school
Izzy’s “100% Today” Principle to true personal growth

Handling Stress, Anxiety & Trauma With Dr. Edna Foa – BSL Insider Podcast

BSL Insider Exclusive: Dr. Edna Foa, TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2010, joins us on the show today.

time-magazine-100-most-influential-people-in-the-world-2010

Trauma. It’s a big word. Stress? Anxiety? No less. Somehow though, these things have become themes of our daily lives and of the world we live in.

Life is fast. The speed of the endless stream of information coming at you? Overwhelming. People everywhere, like you and me, have the same challenges to deal with. Keeping up with the constantly evolving challenges, placed daily before us, through any of the normal routines we are likely to experience can trigger something. By just going to the grocery store. By driving in traffic. By talking to someone we find interesting. That’s why it’s so important we have people like Dr. Edna Foa doing the work she does. She helps people who have anxiety, stress, or trauma deal with them in a way that helps resolve it effectively, especially when it’s concerning something horrific that you may have experienced in your past. No, not on the level that daily life brings to us. But on a much, much bigger scale. She knows how to help people who’ve been raped and who’ve gone on to wars overseas, witnessing unforgettable atrocities.

Today makes for an interesting discussion for everyone however. What better person to help us deal with our own daily battles in living in such a hectic world? And since you’re here, you know we’re not interested in just surviving in today’s times. It’s about thriving. Listen in below to hear the special tips and strategies that she offers us in doing so…

Our BSL Insider:

edna-foa

Dr. Edna Foa was listed as one of Time’s top 100 influential people for developing Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy, a highly effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (or PTSD). Exposure therapy is a behavioral treatment where the goal is to help reduce a person’s fear and anxiety, with the ultimate goal of eliminating avoidance behavior and increasing quality of life. This is done by actively confronting (and not avoiding) the things that a person fears. By confronting feared situations, thoughts, and emotions, a person can learn that anxiety and fear will lessen on its own. Prolonged exposure has been found to be successful in reducing PTSD symptoms for people exposed to a number of different traumatic events such as rape, and it is now being used for returning military veterans.

Dr. Foa is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and Personality from the University of Missouri, Columbia, in 1970. Dr. Foa devoted her academic career to study the psychopathology and treatment of anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social phobia, and is currently one of the world’s leading experts in these areas. Her research has been funded by private and government institutes. Recently, Dr. Foa has focused on disseminating evidence-based treatment for PTSD to community clinics in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Foa has published several books and over 350 research articles and book chapters and has lectured extensively around the world. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards and honors.

Needless to say, she’s doing remarkable work. Don’t get it confused though, her ground-breaking work has taken time to develop and refine. She didn’t do it overnight. It’s a lesson for all of us. Dr. Foa has received many awards and accolades, but she continues now with the work involved in disseminating and spreading it. Sometimes, people are slow to adopt new ideas no matter how effective they are. That’s when the time comes that you have to decide to be a leader.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

Dr. Foa’s revolutionary Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy approach
How to effectively process traumatic memories
What the one factor playing a huge role in your psychology is
How to eliminate that factor from holding you back now and letting your past get the best of you
Using the trauma of bad memories & bad experiences to make progress now
The role of the past in your built-in survival mechanisms
Anxiety & stress management techniques
How memories and the meanings you create, create misconceptions for how you live your life
The input power of the information you receive
A tool for developing emotional freedom
Plus more…

“Realistic fears are helpful, its only the unrealistic fears that we are aiming to change.”

“The main reason people fail is they don’t follow the process and do the homework. They don’t completely buy into the process.”

How To Be A Super High Achiever – BSL Insider Podcast

BSL Insider Exclusive: Judd Weiss from “Hustle Bear – The Blog For High Achievers” joins us on the show today.

hustlebear-judd-weiss

You know that feeling you get when someone finally says something worthwhile and honest for once, instead of the same contrived bullshit that you’ve probably already heard elsewhere? It’s refreshing, isn’t it? And just how sweet is it, when you know its coming from someone who has actually achieved the ambitious goals that they set out to accomplish? That’s someone I will listen to all day long. That’s someone who you know you can trust. That person right here, right now is Judd Weiss. And we’ve got you covered in this loaded discussion between Judd and Brent on what it takes to be a super high achiever. It’s the truth. Just scroll down and hit the play button already to listen to the word. Or download this podcast and load it up on your iPhone or other mp3 player immediately.

Our BSL Insider:

I’m 29. I’m a hustler. The last steady salary job I had was scooping ice cream at Coldstones at 17; since then I’ve been winging it and hustling, fortunate to learn how to thrive without a steady salary. I had 9 odd jobs when I started college (sold knives (cutco), sold phone service, computer consulting , math tutoring, sold Rolexes, etc.); became a millionaire by 24 at which point I bought a large modern house in Bel Air; got ranked among the top 10 Commercial Real Estate agents in California and the top 20 Commercial Real Estate agents in the World at Remax Commercial for 2005 and 2006; started my own Commercial Brokerage before witnessing the complete total death of Brokerage; prompting me to start new companies in fields I knew nothing about and had no network of contacts (like Parking) and rapidly bring these companies to success. Every business endeavor I’ve devoted myself to I’ve made a success. Mostly because I’m a maniac.

I have the strong belief that if I can do it, anyone can. In my high school years I was an awkward backwards loner, and probably would have been voted least likely to succeed. I am transformed. If you transform yourself, you won’t believe what you’re capable of.

He says he’s not perfect, but he puts stock in the fact that he will keep growing and always striving to push for the tremendous insights he’s gained til now. That is an attitude any one of us can rally behind and can support our own ability to achieve with. Achieve tremendously with.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

The “Secret Code” to high achievers and how to speak that to other people of value
The psychology of how to win the trust of super-successful people and what makes them tick
What are the two factors high-level people value above all else
How to throw exclusive, hot parties with a purpose
What Judd Weiss’ “Red Velvet Rope Policy” is to throwing a successful party
How to be super attractive to the opposite sex
What Judd’s #1 rule to being successful in dating really is (hint: it applies to both men & women)
And much more…

judd-weiss-peter-schiff-event

QUOTED:

“Being generous is one of the most [positively] selfish things you can do, I honestly believe that.”

“They’re begging this guy to just come and give them value, there’s nobody who’s putting up their guard to Santa Claus… Santa Claus has access everywhere and why? Because he’s giving value, and he’s a very valuable guy.”

“If that was reality, people would be clamoring for a guy like that because of the value he gives and fighting to have him in their lives.”

“That’s what happens to the generous people, the people that are contributing a lot to the people around them… they start to become very valuable, very fast.”

“I don’t mind the idea of getting, I just mind the idea of being inconsiderate to others.”

“The more good things that happen to the people in my life, the stronger my social circle is because now I have a more valuable social circle.”

judd-headshot-cc

Next Level Takeaways:

Being the giving, social connector is like being Santa Claus, which makes him rare
Not everyone is choosing to be Santa, or giving like him, which makes you all the more valuable in being that way
Giving makes you grow in your social relevance which has the compound effect in making you even more desirable a person
Learn to have social tact by being valuable through offering value of some kind
Ask: “How can I be very valuable to this person?” or “What can I give or add to them?”
Empowering the opposite sex is to do what truly inspiress them
For Men: Give women the space to be attracted
For Women: Truly take responsibility in the decision making process by approaching guys
Operate from a place of abundance and choice to create a win-win for both men and women in the dating game
Success in dating and relationships is a byproduct of an extraordinary lifestyle (again, another advocate!)
Help your friends look better, it strengthens the environment surrounding you and THEM!
