Stephen Hussey is a relationship coach, host of the "love life" and "speaking generally" podcasts, NYT best-selling author and a PhD graduate from the University of Oxford. Finding love in the modern world can be particularly challenging for a variety of reasons. Technology, while offering more opportunities to connect with people across the globe, has also complicated the dating landscape.With over 300 million dating app users worldwide, online dating apps and social media platforms may lead to a paradox of choice, where having too many options can create anxiety and make it difficult to settle on a single partner. The fast pace of modern life often emphasizes career and personal development, leaving less time for cultivating deep and meaningful relationships. Cultural shifts have also led to more diverse and individualized expectations around love and relationships, which can cause confusion and mismatches in values and desires between potential partners. Furthermore, the transient nature of modern living, where people frequently move for work or other opportunities, can impede the ability to build long-term connections. However, these challenges do not have to be fate, and we should not be nihilistic about it. In this episode today, Stephen joins the Freedom Pact to discuss: - Is online dating a good thing or not? - How can we set our lives up to navigate the dating world? - Is there such a thing as 'the one'? - The problem with romanticising Barbie, Christian Grey and James Bond - How to know if you should go on a second date with someone - Keeping the spark alive - Is attraction overrated? - Stephen's love letter to his future wife & Much more!

Tova Friedman is a holocaust survivor of Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was five when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau. Malcolm Brabant also joined us and co-authored the book. Malcolm is a veteran foreign correspondent with experience reporting from over 80 countries. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale. As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova’s father tracked them down and the family was reunited.

"The odds were stacked against us, but they were just odds..." Brian Wood MC, former Colour Sergeant, Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment. Brian Wood was awarded the Military Cross, one of Britain’s highest awards for gallantry in combat, by Her Majesty The Queen II, following his courageous leadership under enemy fire in Iraq. In the heat of a lethal close quarters battle, fighting outnumbered, he seized the initiative, taking a split-second decision to lead his men into the teeth of enemy fire in the first bayonet charge by British soldiers in 25 years. Leading from the front, he put his own life in great danger. Under his command, Brian’s men defeated the enemy without sustaining any serious casualties themselves. Their actions that day saved many other soldiers’ lives. During a 16 year military career, Brian led British troops across the full spectrum of battle from training to fighting; from operations in the Balkans to high intensity combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout his Army career he had to make life-or-death decisions, frequently in hazardous battle situations, usually under great pressure and often against the clock. There is no greater leadership challenge than motivating men to put their lives on the line. To succeed they have to know that you are a meticulous and competent planner and commander who can be trusted with their lives. Brian’s military experience has equipped him to deliver highly inspirational and compelling sessions, sharing his experiences from the battlefield and suggesting ways that the lessons he has learnt can be applied in the corporate world.

Born country boy and farmer, with a longing for God – John Butler has led an extraordinarily interesting but largely unknown life, recorded only in notes, diaries letters etc which, for many years lay, half forgotten in the cupboard - until he published his first books, ‘Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment’ in 2008 at the age of 71, and ‘Mystic Approaches’ in 2012. Unexpectedly, in 2017, he was interviewed on Conscious TV which, to his surprise, was well received. Encouraged to make further videos and open a Youtube channel called ‘Spiritual Unfoldment’, this now, after 3 years, has attracted 7½ million views and over 100,000 subscribers. With such unforeseen interest in his work, and the present day need for spiritual direction, John continued writing and, now, in 2021 has published another six books.

Edward M. Adams, PsyD, has been a psychologist in private practice for over thirty years. He founded the nonprofit organization Men Mentoring Men and has facilitated over one thousand men's meetings, workshops, and retreats. The conventional notion of what it means to be a man--what Adams and Frauenheim call "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, they propose a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship.

Today on the show, we are joined by Professor Donald Hoffman. Donald Hoffman is an American cognitive psychologist at the University of California. We’ve got a mind-blowing episode for you today, and one that may needed to be re-listened to multiple times. In Doanld’s book 'The Case Against Reality', Donald argues that perception doesn’t present things as they are but instead acts like a desktop interface enabling us to interact with the world. Donald’s theory in the Case against reality is that evolution has pulled the wool over our eyes and for that reason, we don’t see reality as it is. What a sensational claim. In this podcast, we examine the very foundations of consciousness. What it is, why we haven’t found a theory for it yet, will we ever find one and Donald’s mathematical theory of consciousness. We also explore other ideas that include why is evolution hiding reality from us? What is the nature of consciousness is one of the biggest unanswered questions in science today. Here, we take a crack at it. I hope you enjoy this episode, with the incredibly thought provoking Professor Donald Hoffman.

Cristina is one of the first in the world to have been able to induce a state of relaxation in the Caribbean Reef sharks through gentle touch. To the observer, this looks like the shark is falling asleep in her lap. Sharks know her and her touch and seem to seek the connection and contact. Witnessing this interaction, directly while diving with Cristina or remotely by watching her numerous contributions to television documentaries and reading about her work in magazines, has created a change in perception from the general public. It has helped dissolve misconceptions and preconceptions about sharks. Cristina and her sharks have become ambassadors for many other species and animals in the world. Through her work, she helps her sharks by removing hooks from their mouths and parasites. She helps scientists collect data to support research and has developed a Caribbean Reef Shark Diver Distinctive Specialty. Cristina was the initiator of the movement that resulted in the full protection of sharks in the entire Bahamas. For More On Cristina: https://cristinazenato.com/ For More On Us: FreedomPact.co.uk

Matthew 'Ollie' Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier and a member of the Directing Staff on Channel 4's hit show SAS: Who Dares Wins. Ollie's military career began at the age of 18 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos and toured operationally in Northern Ireland and in Iraq for Operation Desert Storm. He subsequently spent six years in the Special Boat Service rising to team leader, before working in Iraq as a private security contractor and carrying out charity work in South-East Asia. Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton knows more than his fair share about keeping going. As a recruit he survived the infamously tough SAS selection process on a busted ankle with the Directing Staff pleading with him to give up. But it's in Ollie's personal life that he really had to dig deep. At his lowest he was battling a failed relationship, substance abuse, depression and a pronounced death wish. After leaving the services Ollie found himself at a loss. Feeling worthless, lacking purpose, he turned to drink to numb the pain. Looking for a way out, Ollie made a discovery. Often in life we find ourselves looking for an external fix - drink, drugs, other people's agenda. But the truth is the solution is not out there, it's inside. In Battle Ready Ollie teaches you how to access this potential, find your inner strength and transform your life. From finding your purpose to visualising your outcome, to putting in a process to break bad habits and create positive new routines, Ollie's 12-step plan shows you how to make positive progress and recover when things go wrong. By following his plan, you can realise your full potential, find your happiness, and become battle ready. ‘Special Forces soldiers aren’t supermen. We’re just ordinary people, with the same frailties and vulnerabilities as everyone else. But ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary.’ Ollie Ollerton Instagram: @FreedomPact FreedomPact.co.uk

Shane is the host of the Knowledge Project podcast which is my go-to listen, for a slight tangent - I think Shane is one of the best interviewers around and someone I’ve been learning from myself. Shane has interviewed the likes of Jim Collins, Esther Perel, Daniel Kahneman and some mutual guests like Robert Greene and Annie Duke for the show. The knowledge Project is just one of the notches under Shane’s hugely impressive umberella.

Farnam Street is dedicated to mastering the best of what other people have already figured out, that now gets over 1 million page views per month. Shane is an absolute learning machine, so much so that I’ve made it one of my life goals to go and see this guys bookshelf with my own eyes, and to emphasise this point, Shane told me that in 2013 he read 153 books in one year. I view Shane as a North star when it comes to Education, and speaking to Shane has made me want to improve even more. When Shane isn’t interviewing leading scholars and notable people, you may find him managing Syrus Partners which is an investment company operating out of North America. Farnam Street also released a book called The Great Mental Models which covers general thinking concepts. Shane & I discuss Volume 1 in today’s episode which is all around general thinking concepts. Now why is this important? As the saying goes, to the man with a hammer - everything looks like a nail. Having a clear and concise understanding of these mental models will greatly improve your decision making. And considering your life is the conclusion of the vast amounts of decisions we make everyday, becoming a better decision maker will ultimately make for a much better life.

When Kevin wrote that essay it went viral, and is very much used as an entrepreneurial benchmark, we will link that article below if you haven’t checked it out. https://kk.org/thetechnium/1000-true-fans/ We know that you guys loved that concept, so we reached out to David because he has done a deep dive into how to build raving fans for your organisation. In an age of business in which everything has become automised, when we’ve lost the art of human connection, creating true fans with your audience is the way out of the matrix. Please enjoy this fantastic and in-depth conversation with the amazing David Meerman Scott.

Welcome back ladies & gentleman. We want to start this episode off by paying our enormous gratitude to you. Lewis & I reminisced over this year and there’s just such a surreal feeling around the show.

Thousands of you tune in each month, and as the year comes to an end we’re promising you that on your own journey to Freedom, we’re going to bring you the best guests and the best content to help you in that journey. So from us here, we hope that this holiday season brings you blessings, and re-join us at the start of the year, because we’re going to take things to a whole another level.

Welcome back to the Freedom Pact Podcast. The show that will deliver Freedom from limiting beliefs, societal and social conventions. It’s our job to interview the best in the world in business, health and personal growth to give you leverage over yourself and ultimately freedom of circumstance. Kute was born to the miracle man of Ghana in Western Africa, and by the age of 8 his father who is a revered spiritual leader, thrust Kute into the limelight and started delivering weekly congregations in his family church. By the age of 14 Kute was speaking to 100’s of thousands of people through a network of over 300 churches. Despite a path looming as the leader of his father’s religious network, Kute decided that this wasn’t his path and decided to move to Los Angeles in 1995 with next to no money to become the next Opera. In this pursuit of greatness, Kute hunted down the likes of Steven Spielberg and Richard Branson to give him his shot in the limelight, all which we cover in today’s episode. Today, Kute is a best-selling of author of the book ‘you are the one’, an expert into the human potential, and a highly demanded key-note speaker. Kute’s revloutionary program called the Liberation Experience, in which he travels across India one-on-one with a client is the most transformative program I’ve ever heard of. The client is removed of their passport, their money, and their sense of self. Kute begins the trip by asking the client to write their will, and letters in which they don’t come back. Along the way, they will bathe in the Ganges river, visit the poorest slums in the world and encounter enlightened yogi’s along the way amongst many other things. Kute is certainly an expert in the human potential and freeing ourselves from societal conditioning and we couldn't be any more excited to connect.

Today on the show, we are joined by the best-selling author of The Talent Code - Daniel Coyle. The talent Code has been on my bookshelf for years, I put it down as one of the best individual books into high performance I’ve ever read. When I first found out that Daniel Coyle had released another book - this time into high performing teams like Pixar, Navy Seal Team 6, San Antonio Spurs, Zappos and many more, we simply had to get him on the show. Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent, The Secret Race (co-authored with Tyler Hamilton), Hardball: A Season in Projects, and other books.  Winner (with Hamilton) of the 2012 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Prize, he is a contributing editor for Outside Magazine, and works as a special advisor to the Cleveland Indians. In this fascinating conversation, we look at what makes a team a high performing team. And how are the best in the world doing it. Seth Godin described this book as ‘’an urgent read.’’ Links: Danielcoyle.com @danielcoyle - TW Daniel Coyle - FB & LI @freedompact - IG Freedom Pact - YouTube

Today on the Freedom Pact Podcast. We are joined by one of the biggest names in the entrepreneurship space today - Dean Graziosi. Dean is an absurdly successful real-estate entrepreneur having featured on television every single day for 16 years, in what was one of the most-profitable direct-selling television shows ever generating $100’s of millions of dollars. Dean Is a multiple time best-selling author, with his previous book the Millionaire Success Habits having sold over a million copies, as well as Dean’s other books 30 days to real estate cash and totally fulfilled completely dominating the non-fiction charts. These days, you’ll find Dean recognised as one of America’s top success coaches, who has masterminds that will cost in excess of 6 figures to enter into them, as well as Dean business partnering with Tony Robbins. Pretty Cool. However, it hasn’t always been like this for Dean. Dean grew up in extreme poverty. As a child he was sleeping on a mattress inside a bathroom, never made it to college and he had a learning disability. Dean built his life with literally nothing other than sheer determination as a teenager when he was chopping wood, repairing cars and knocking on 1000’s of doors. Dean says that he is no smarter than the average person, however he has utilised the power of being an underdog in life and how it fuelled him. Lets give it for the man that Sir Richard Branson paid tribute to by saying ‘’Dean is the type of entrepreneur that makes the world a better place. Dean Graziosi, Welcome To the freedom pact.

Today on the show we are joined by Scott Young. Scott is a writer, a programmer, traveler and self-experimentalist. In 2012, Scott became known in Interweb circles for famously completing a 4-year MIT undergraduate computer science course in 12 months. All without taking a single class. In one year, Scott successfully managed to complete 33 classes and all of the required classes, all whilst saving himself $100,000’s of dollars worth of debt. In 2014, Scott undertook another extensive self-directed learning project, this time with the focus on languages. Going an entire year without speaking a word of English whilst living around the world, Scott achieved an excellent level in Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese and Korea. Scott’s other aggressive learning projects include learning quantum mechanics and becoming a skilled portrait artist. The progress that he made on all of these projects was insane. So what do all of these crazy projects have in common? The answer, my Freedom Pact family is.. all of these projects are what Scott would define as an Ultralearning project. Ultralearning is the detailed and practical science of learning hard skills at a rapid pace with a high level of effectiveness. The world isn’t the same anymore. 50 years ago, a 4-year degree would guarantee you a great career, now it’s not even a guaranteed foot in the door for a minimum wage position.

oday on the show we are joined by Dr Jack Wolfson. Jack is a board-certified cardiologist with more than 17 years of practise under his belt. Jack is now recognised as one of the leading voices into holistic health, natural and preventative heart health care. Having been featured on CNN, Fox and NBC countless times as well as being a best-selling author of the smash hit book The Paleo Cardiologist, Jack has made it his life’s mission to promote an overall approach to wellness. As well as being an in-demand Key-note speaker, Jack has been awarded the top holistic MD award in Phoenix for 5 out of the last 6 years, which is just insane to think about. Jack is certainly not a man who is afraid to speak his mind, and his often hard-hitting opinions have seen him recieve death threats, complaints to his medical board, being banned off of social platforms like Pinterest. However, he feels so strongly about an evolutionary approach to living that he says he’s never felt more empowered to speak his truth. In this episode we cover so so much. We cover Jack’s core philosophy of the caveman approach to holistic living, we delve into sleep, exercise, how modern society is so detrimental to mental health, why Jack goes to sleep at 7:30pm, how modern society is causing erectile dysfunction in young men, and Jack shares his thoughts on naturally reversing heart disease. I highly highly highly recommend you listen to the full thing.

Welcome back! So good of you to join us again. Well, there’s a big one today guys. Today on the show, we are joined by former NFL player for the Buccaneers, redskins and steelers, American Ninja Warrior, International keynote speaker, best-selling author and identity coach - Anthony Trucks. I said a while back that there was big things happening around here. Big changes, big name-guests, and I’m sorry I go on about this, but this show is our baby, and to think we’ve gone from voice recording on our phone in a carpark to interviewing NFL players, as well as building up this community of action takers. I couldn’t be any damn prouder. And, stay tuned for what’s to come. Anyway, I digress. The title of Anthony’s book is ‘a life forged by fire.’ ‘’Please tell my children who their father was’’ was the text message that Anthony had sent out at 28 to who his loved ones as he drove around searching for rat poison to take his own life. Throughout Anthony’s life, he has experienced what he defines as ‘’20 life shattering identity shifts’’ that have taken him from being given into a foster care home at 3, beaten and abused as a child, not finding his biological father until he was 21, discovering his wife had an affair, getting divorced, having his playing career in the NFL cut short, it’s safe to say that this man has endured trauma. One of the fascinating things about Anthony, is that he’s endured so much, but yet he always made it through the other side. My question then is ‘’why and how??’’ How does one make it through all of that and prosper, when just one of those pieces of trauma are enough to send others down the precipice. Well, we’re going to find out today. This was a real wide-ranging conversation, from relationships, to the benefit of coaches, to recovering from trauma, to how to like yourself more. It really was a great conversation. Links: AnthonyTrucks.com Sloworgo.co @anthonytrucks - IG / @freedompact - IG Join the conversation: Freedompact@gmail.com

today on the show, we have got a wonderful, thought-provoking and highly-actionable conversation to bring to you to close the week. We are joined by Dr Anna Yusim. Anna is a private psychiatrist located on the upper-east side of Manhattan, and is also a lecturer at Yale Medical school. I could spend an entire podcast listing out all of the awards that Anna has won both as a student and in the field of psychology, but to name just a few Anna was awarded the Golden Award for the top thesis written in the humanities at Stamford, the Glasgow-Rubin award for women leaders at Yale medical school and also the National Institute of mental health outstanding research resident award. Anna is also now a published author, with the release of her brand new book ‘Fulfilled: The Science of spirituality’ which our conversation is largely predicated upon today. In today’s episode we delve into major concepts like fulfilment - what are the commonalities between the most fulfilled lives, how does one become fulfilled, how do we avoid fulfilment decoys, why fulfilment is more of an art than a science, then we look at things like spirituality and the incredible health benefits related to it. Overall, this is a fascinating conversation, and one I hope you guys enjoy. Marianne Williamson once said that she admired those like Dr Anna Yusim, as they are the ones who are leading the charge. Without any further ado, Dr Anna Yusim - Welcome to the freedom pact.

Hey Hey! Welcome back - Freedom Pact family! What do you guys think of the new intro? We’ve ben playing around with it lately, we may make some slight changes to it. What do you guys think? Let us know if you like it by emailing us your thoughts - freedompact@gmail.com Anyway, Happy Monday. Today on the show, we are joined by nationally acclaimed journalist Alex Hutchinson. Alex is the best-selling author of the fantastic book - Endure,which looks at expanding the human limits of the body and the mind. The timing of this podcast couldn’t be any better, as I’m sure many of you know that on October 12th Eliud Kipchoge ran the first ever 2-hour marathon. Which we delve into, as well as many other aspects related to self-talk, increasing your cognitive and physical stamina. I’ll give a quick sidetone, as many of you may be listening to these and thinking? Wait Joe, I’m not a runner I don’t care about running. What we discuss in this conversation isn’t specific to running. We discuss how to increase the human potential, and how to overcome the limiting beliefs and mental shackles that our mind plays on us. Which could be applied to growing a business, studying for an exam, writing a book. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and I highly recommend listening to the full thing as I feel like there’s so many takeaways throughout the episode.

Welcome back to the Freedom Pact. The show that will give you the mindsets, strategies, tools and tactics to help you achieve the next level of success. We are back this Monday morning with another episode. Our listens have gone through the roof lately, and we’re so grateful for all of you that tune in week in, week out, we never could’ve imagined the show would grow this fast so thank you. Today on the show, we are joined Lara Rebecca. Lara is a health and fitness enthusiast from my native Cardiff, in Wales, who is using social media as a platform to help change the lives of millions of people with eating disorders. For context into this episode, we’ve linked Lara’s story below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3uRjM4p2Kc&t=356s - which is a video she posted entitled ‘anorexic to athlete’, which now has around 8 million views, summarises Lara’s journey with an eating disorder, how it transpired into anorexia, how it almost claimed her life when Lara had a BMI of 13, to put this into context, Lara was around 16 years old and was weighing in around 5 stone. This conversation delves into the scary reality of living with an eating disorder. We cover topics like the forums involved that give people with eating disorders tips to lose even more weight, the mindset in which someone with an eating disorder would have, how Lara would trick her parents into believing that she was eating, what does it feel like to be 5 stone, a clue - Lara’s fingers turned blue. But remarkably, the reason why we wanted to connect with Lara is that what followed on from this battle is truly inspiring. Since then, Lara has helped millions of people online with her story being featured with major news networks like the BBC & ITV, is an avid health and fitness enthusiast and is also doing tremendous work into mental health awareness. Lara is one of the very few people that I’ve ever seen that is using social media for the right reasons. It is my pleasure to bring such an important conversation to you, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed learning about this subject and connecting with Lara.

Hey Hey Freedom Pact! Welcome back to the show, happy Monday to you all. Well, what an episode we’ve got to kick the week off for you. Today on the show, we are joined by Frank Turner. @frankturner Frank Turner is an English Punk and folk singer, having released 8 solo albums, and is the winner of multiple highly notable music awards such as the Kerrang & AIM awards. Frank has created an incredible listenership, and one of the most amazing things about Frank is how he’s used his platform and his music to tackle issues which are so prominent in today’s society. Having played over 2400+ shows, visiting 48 countries in the process, Turner is noted for his work-ethic as well as the meaning that drives his songs. Frank is also an author, studied at the London School of Economics, and studied alongside prince William at Eton - Not bad! We sat down with Frank to discuss major aspects of his journey, things like his career start, work-ethic, how do you deal with getting 100 death threats per day, mastering your craft, mental health - Frank’s experiences with CBT, and much much more. before we start, I have to say that Frank is obviously a very renowned name and it’s fairly difficult to get an interview with people of this stature. At the time of the recording, Frank was on tour of America playing live shows, when we contacted him to do to the interview, he was about 30 minutes away from a sound check, so about half way through the interview you will hear live music - we apologise, but hope that the content can make it up.

#55: Bronnie Ware - These Are The Top 5 Regrets Of The Dying by Freedom Pact Podcast

Today we are speaking to one our heroes. Today’s guest is the best-selling author of multiple books that include the 48 laws of Power, The art of Seduction, Mastery, 33 strategies of War and his latest book - The laws of human nature. Robert Greene has regularly featured in rap culture as he is viewed as one of history’s most prominent figures into power, seduction and strategy. Robert’s name has been mentioned in songs by people like Drake, Kanye West, Jay-Z and Rick Ross. Robert also released a book with 50-cent which was conveniently named the 50th law. Robert’s books have sold millions and millions of copies. In fact, the content underpins such key elements in power and human nature that his books have been banned by the majority of US prisons, and it’s even widely reported that Fidel Castro has even read his books. Robert is also fluent in 5 languages, is a student of Zen Buddhism, and is the mentor to Ryan Holiday. As you can guess, Robert’s a major hero of ours. This is an enormous privilege for us, and it seems so surreal that this is where we’re at in our journey. Today we’ll be discussing the laws of human nature, mastering our emotional selves, strategies for influencing others and a few personal questions into Robert’s life.

Welcome back for Episode 50! What an unbelievable journey it’s been, and I promise you, we’re only just getting started. For everyone that has listened, supported and interacted, we are eternally grateful and we couldn’t have picked a better group of people to share this journey with. Stick around, because I assure you, things are growing fast. On today’s episode, we are joined by American War-hero, best-selling author and previous star from the hit show Dancing with the stars Noah Galloway. After Noah witnessed 9/11 happen, he felt so passionately about it that he immediately dropped out of college and went straight to the front lines. It was during his second deployment, that his Humvee caught a tripwire and blew his vehicle up, leaving him within inches of life. The aftermath of this explosion saw Noah as an amputee losing his left arm and his left leg. Overcoming the loss of two limbs wasn’t the only issue that Noah had to deal with. Since returning home, Noah has done multiple rounds in the ring with depression which he speaks so openly about and he’s spent 10 days in a county jail for a DUI. Determined to not let this be his life, Noah completely reinvented himself and found solace in fitness. Noah decided to change his life, and since he made the decision he has run marathons, tough mudders, featured on the cover of Mens Health, appeared on Ellen, The today show and more notably he scored a 3-rd place finish on Dancing with the stars. We were so intrigued by Noah’s story we wanted to find out what drives him, how he has managed depression and what we can do to reframe a negative set-back, which I assure you, is a huge component of success.

Welcome back my Freedom Pact Family! Today on the show, we are speaking to best selling author Dr Jessamy Hibberd Jessamy is a London based clinical psychologist, and I was absolutely delighted to sit down with her and tackle the subject of imposter syndrome. Jessamy is a Tedx speaker, an active consultant and spokeswoman. If you tune into LBC or women’s hour regularly, you’ll have more than likely have heard Dr Jessamy, alternatively you may have seen her work featured in major publications like the Guardian and Telegraph. Have you ever been in a social or skilled setting and looked around and thought - I don’t belong here, I’m not as good as they think I am, I’ve got lucky etc It’s likely that it’s imposter syndrome. This is a hugely prevalent subject, something I myself have faced and I was so happy to discuss it with Jessamy. We look at what it is, where imposter syndrome comes from, strategies, tactics, self-talk ideas for how to deal with it. If you would like more information on this, Jessamy does have a fantastic book on this called The imposter Cure, which you can pick up from the link below should you wish. Can I ask you for a favour?

Welcome back Freedom Pact family! Guys before we begin, I want to issue an apology. In today’s episode, there was a slight sound issue which we’re really upset about. We’ve invested heavily in recent months to provide you guys with the best possible audio experience possible, but something went wrong at parts in this episode. It’s not horrendous, but we are conscious of it and we’ll try our best to not let it happen again. Today on the show we have the co-founder of Wired Magazine - Kevin Kelly. Kevin has been a multiple time Best seller, is a legendary futurist and has led Wired to winning the national magazine award for excellence which is the equivalent of the oscars. Pretty big deal if you ask me! Kevin, is a go-to guy from Hollywood who have sought after his advice for the realistic future portrayals, and on top of this Kevin has had his own work featured in major publications like Life, Science, The New York times and the economist. Just considering the magnitude of that achievement is something, but when you consider that Kevin actually dropped out of College to spend a decade photographing around Asia, in which he had to run a newsletter in Tehran to survive financially. Many people know Kevin from his ideas surrounding the 1000 true fans. In this episode, we direct 3 major topics: How Kevin operates and how he made the decision to leave behind the standard path to go and create his own way, 1000 true fans, the meaning of it and how to get and keep them, and lastly we talk about AI.

Dr Miller previously worked as the executive director for the zen hospice project in which he treats hospitalised patients with terminal or life-altering illnesses. BJ has been featured in many major publications. He’s appeared on Oprah’s super soul Sunday, the New York Times and he’s just releases a book alongside Shoshana Berger called the Beginners guide to the end, which one imagines will go on to be a best seller. So by this point, you may be thinking what does this have to do with our brand? Like we’re a peak performance podcast? Well, I think this is a hugely important topic to cover. BJ has overseen the deaths of thousands of people, so there’s no other better person to tell us what really matters in life. In this podcast, we’re going to talk about life and death. We’re going to discuss what really matters in life, what the biggest regrets are that people have at the end, and also how to live a life so you don’t mind when your time comes. I think this could be one of the most important and captivating pieces of content we’ve produced, and I highly recommend you listen to the full thing.

Heather Morris is the author of the number 1 international best selling book, ' The Tattooist of Auschwitz.' 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' is based on the true story of Lale Sokolov, the Tatowierer of Auschwitz-Birkenau, who fell in love with fellow prisoner named Gita. Simply put, Lale recalls that he "tattooed her number on her left hand, and she tattooed her number in (his) heart." Heather's writing journey began in 1996 when she enrolled in The Professional Scriptwriting Course through the Australian College of journalism, and her passion quickly became writing screenplays. In 2003, Heather was first introduced to Lale Sokolov, and originally wrote Lale's tale as a screenplay, before starting her own kickstarter campaign to self-publish the story as a novel. Since then, 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' has gone on to be met with monumental success world wide, and can now be found at the top of the charts in any book store you were to visit.
