#38 - Living an Engaged Life w/ Ben Bernstein

Before we jump into this episode, I want to keep you posted about my book, also named Seeking Authenticity. It’s coming out later this month, October 2021! I’ll have exact dates in the coming weeks. I’ve been receiving some remarkable feedback about it so far and I’m excited to share it with you. You can find out more at my website flintmitchell.com. I’m always looking for honest feedback so if you leave a review on this podcast cast and then reach out to [email protected] I’ll respond with some information on how to set up a call with me over the phone where we can talk 1 on 1! Now.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Ben Bernstein, who also goes by “Dr. B” or “The Stress Doctor”. Ben uses his own personal experiences and formal training in performance psychology to help people overcome stress and performance anxiety and perform at their best. Maybe you have unproductive habits you’d like to kick? Or suffer from an inability to perform when the spotlight is on or the test is put in front of you? Dr. B knows how to handle that. I have known Ben for about two years now and value him in my life not only as a friend but also as an impeccably honest person. When you find people who give you legitimately honest feedback about your work and ideas, you should keep them around! If you want to check out more about Dr. B at any point, check out his website:

#36 - Rowing Across Oceans and Redirecting Your Life with Roz Savage

Seeking Authenticity hosted by iAlign

12/16/20 • 54 min

Send us a text

Roz Savage changed her life in her thirties, when through an environment epiphany, she completely shifted her direction from her current role in management consulting to become a world class adventurer. As you and I spent our days commuting to class or the office, she was rowing across the oceans for many months at a time, completely alone. She has completed the Big 3 oceans - the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian, and consequently become a powerful voice both for the environment and personal development. Appearing on numerous TV channels, talk shows, TED talks, and with 3 published books, the most recent of which, The Gifts of Solitude, being relevant to our situation in the pandemic, she has plenty of wonderful insight. In this conversation, I wanted to hear about her current adventure, where she has taken on a PhD. From this, we talk about her perspective on changing course in life, identifying, even if just through awareness, the areas of our life we want to redirect. She explains these thoughts with examples from her own life, and shares, what I believe to be a very inspiring message of hope - that our futures and the future of our world, are inextricably linked to our internal states of being. I had a lot of fun listening to Roz and her stories and I know you will too. Enjoy.

#35 - Obesity, Injury, and Ultra-Running with Philip Godwin

Seeking Authenticity hosted by iAlign

12/14/20 • 66 min

Send us a text

I was introduced to Philip Godwin by Zach Smith, a former podcast guest who hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. Like Zach, Philip has found himself crossing the finish line of endurance events, doing several runs from 30 to 50 and even 100 miles at a time. In this conversation, however, before we dive into his path with running, we touch on the beginning of that journey. Dealing with obesity, a disabling injury, and tons of negative self-talk in highschool into college, Philip had to deal with some real personal challenges, mental and physical, before journeying into long-distance running. Likewise we talk about his first 100 mile run, which he used to raise nearly twenty-thousand dollars to start a fund in the name of a friend of his that passed away. If you feel like you’re in a rut, or even just moving a bit slower than normal, I think this conversation might help you turn that around. I loved hearing Philip’s take and I know you will too, enjoy.

#34 - Recreating Yourself in Paradise with Forensic Biomechanist Mike Sinnott

Seeking Authenticity hosted by iAlign

11/25/20 • 60 min

Send us a text

Mike Sinnott is a forensic biomechanist, determining the true causes of accidents, and the human and mechanical factors that may have contributed to it. In this conversation we talk a bit about how he got into the field and why he loves it, including a really insane story from his graduate school years and the work ethic required at a young age to pursue a field that didn’t really exist yet in industry. After that, however we talk about a transformation he had to undergo, when he and his wife left their all-too comfortable setting of 8 years in Toronto to move to Hawaii. Mike lets me ask about some really solid topics, including effectively the crisis of identity you go through when making large career switches in life and the difficulty of building yourself back up after those periods of change. This is wonderful chat that I found quite impactful in my own life so I hope you enjoy it.

#33 - Leaving College, Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and Embracing Every Day as a New Adventure with Zach Smith

Seeking Authenticity hosted by iAlign

Send us a text

Zach Smith hiked the entirety of the Pacific Crest Trail, a backpacking trail that extends over 2600 miles from the Mexican border to Canadian border, trekking through deserts and high mountain ranges. He used this trek to raise thousands of dollars of support for Youth Assisting Youth, a non-profit charity aimed at providing mentors to at-risk youth. In this conversation we talk about his experience leaving college to work in construction for a year as he created new intentions, his decision to embark on the Pacific Crest Trail with nearly no prior backpacking experience, and some of the moments of solitude, joy, excitement, and even melancholy that he passed through while hiking it. Likewise we talk about mentorship, creating a mindset of determination and grit, and how the trip changed his perspective to take advantage of each day and the purpose that can be derived from it instead of looking towards finish lines far off in the future. I really appreciated listening to Zach and I think you will too, enjoy.

Gaby is both an editor and writer for companies like the Motley Fool and Credit Karma, while also hosting her own podcast, Anthrobiology, a show about her personal passion for physical and biological anthropology. I really enjoyed meeting Gaby because right from the beginning she brought both an enthusiastic and curious mindset into our first chat. In this episode, we dive a bit into that theme, of why it’s so important to be curious and the defining factors of what makes a curious person. Likewise we dive into anthropology, she talks about how she found her niche of physical anthropology during school, some of the surprising roots of the field, academia, dealing with social anxiety, and pursuing opportunities based on the morals you’d like to live out. We really cover a lot of ground in this fun chat, I had a blast listening to Gaby’s perspective, and I know you will too. Enjoy!

Send us a text

In this episode I talk with Oli Russell-Cowan, the founder of Rad Season, which is an event and accommodation planning company for festivals and events that lie a bit out of the mainstream. Oli has a strong passion for action sports and traveling and has found a calling in helping make these types of events that you might not hear about a bit more accessible, so that you might also be able to find and experience the people and culture of new places in a way you wouldn’t have known existed. We talk about how he became so passionate about these types of festivals, the journey he’s taken to starting Rad Season, about some of his favorite events he’s been to, and about his change in perspective as someone who grew up a bit more of a free spirit because of family and the pandemic. Oli has some awesome experiences and stories that I bet you’ll have fun hearing about, enjoy.

In this episode, I talk with Greg Akinbiyi. Greg is a former Duke football player, businessman and consultant, who I had the pleasure of connecting with through Ellen Leanse, another guest of this podcast on episode 2. We had a fantastic conversation over the phone somehow spanning masculinity, death and grieving, and success in just 30 minutes so I was really excited to get him on the podcast. Here, we talk about the journey he’s been on with a book he’s writing with the working title ‘Leaders Die First.’ Likewise we cover a wide range of topics I love to talk about, including the current societal discussion about what it means to be a man and how it relates to what it means to be human, about the frameworks we use to define success, and about using death as a framework for life, showing us the ways we might want to change our actions and perspectives on what is truly under our control in this moment. Greg is awesome to listen to and I’m grateful to have him on the podcast. Enjoy!

Seeking Authenticity hosted by iAlign

Mike Graczyk is a good friend of mine, who was a goalkeeper for the University of New Mexico before being drafted to play professionally. After several years in the MLS, he coached at Stanford, Harvard, his alma mater, the University of New Mexico, New Mexico United, the state’s first professional soccer team, and now at Notre Dame. Mike was a coach for one of my club soccer teams and his leadership, along with the guys on those teams, played a large role in who I became as an adult. Here, we talk a bit about that experience of creating a strong network that you’re proud to be a part of and serve in, about his transition from college to professional soccer and then into coaching, about recruiting young players, and about the interest which sparked his PhD studies, looking for the flags that might predict a person's success. I had a blast listening to Mike and I know you will too, enjoy.
