Show Notes

This week I chat with Joel Bouzaid. Joel is a business owner, a father, a leadership coach and speaker. Joel is one of the co-founders of “Against the Grains” which takes people on an adventure to help them create a life by design. He is one of the owners of Maia Crossfit where they aim to foster personal change through fitness. He speaks frequently throughout the country and is just an all-round good dude.

Joel was introduced to me by a mutual friend, Pete Halsted – cheers Pete. When I rocked up to chat with Joel I knew it was going to be a fun one straight away. He is a guy that is just full of energy and is real happy to just go deep in a conversation pretty fast.

Some of the topics we cover today include;

+ Being confronted by the fact that he took the piss out of people because he had low self esteem himself

+ Being able to take that on and actually do something about it

+ Enjoying the outdoors and using it to find out about himself

+ The importance of taking the time to reflect – how he does it and how to train it

+ Why he values focus on a few things

+ Getting excited about finding out who you are

+ Identifying an end goal and doing something to achieve it day to day

+ The questions that he consistently asks himself

+ You have limiting beliefs, but you also have beliefs that serve you well

+ The practice of opposition thinking

+ The science behind positive thinking and the role the Reticular Activating System plays

+ Automating our good habits

+ And the importance of a great support team
