New Paths

When charting new paths or learning new activities, it helps to have a systemized approach to making progress quickly.
I've spent a lot of my life learning new skills and changing career paths. I won't say I have it all figured out yet, but I've learned a number of ways to get up to speed quickly. Hopefully this framework helps you when you're trying something new.

As always, thanks for tuning in!

Purpose

Velocitycast

01/20/23 • 21 min

Finding your purpose requires the intersection of three categories: passion, skill, and income.

My Story

Velocitycast

12/09/22 • 24 min

This week I dive into my personal story of finding my path after retiring from professional athletics. I needed to create frameworks and systems for myself to navigate a very different life than I was used to.
There was a void left after pursuing a singular goal for so long and having that goal change. For anyone who is facing a major change in their life, I hope these frameworks can help you find your way as well.

Decision Making Frameworks

Velocitycast

12/02/22 • 20 min

In this episode, we analyze a few decision-making frameworks to help you better to take action during stressful situations.
We look at Jeff Bezos' concept of only making 3 important decisions a day, and dig into former President Barack Obama's process for making the best decisions under stress.

Self-Assessment

Velocitycast

11/25/22 • 18 min

This week we do a deep dive into a regular process of self-reflection and assessment. While initially uncomfortable, this technique will allow you to correct course when things are going off track and figure out exactly why you aren't able to achieve your goals to the degree you'd like.

The myth of being busy

Velocitycast

12/08/23 • 19 min

Being busy is seen as a badge of honor in modern society. For high-achievers, we think that any time spent not working is time wasted. We feel like we need to pack our calendar to the brim in order to make progress and get ahead.
In this episode, I propose a new way of thinking about "busyness." If we instead look at the opportunity cost associated with saying yes to certain things, it will make us more cautious with what we add to our calendar in the future.

Three areas of focus for 2024

Velocitycast

01/12/24 • 15 min

As we embark on the new year, there are three practices that will aid you in achieving your goals and resolutions. Each of these is something I've incorporated in my own life and in my clients' lives to great effect. Without them, you are more likely to fall short of what you ultimately want to achieve.
If you want 2024 to be your year, then I highly recommend listening to this week's episode and internalizing its lessons.

The benefits of developing resilience

Velocitycast

04/26/24 • 13 min

New research has shown that there is a region in the brain called the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) which is grown specifically by choosing to do things that we don't want to do. While there has been a long-held belief that choosing to do hard things is beneficial, science is starting to support this claim.
This brain region is larger in older individuals with high cognitive function. It is smaller in obese people, but then grows as they diet and lose weight. It is abnormally large in athletes.
This episode discusses the benefits of developing resilience, the health effects of developing the aMCC, and also explores some contradictory viewpoints.

The importance of first impressions

Velocitycast

04/12/24 • 9 min

Reputations take years to build and moments to tarnish. A bad first impression can lead to a negative reputation following you around, even if your interactions with everyone else is positive.
Navigating life is challenging enough without having to fight uphill because someone heard we were unpleasant. Taking a little extra effort to be prepared, and aiming to bring positive energy to unplanned interactions can go a long way in opening more doors and providing more opportunities.
This week, we dig into why first impressions are important and how to ensure we leave a good one.

Networking

Velocitycast

02/03/23 • 25 min

Life is more about who you know than what you know. Your network will determine the quantity and quality of opportunities you get in your life and career. Learn how to network effectively, build professional relationships, and leave a lasting impact.
