1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Instead of saying, well, my relationship is like this because

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: of XYZ, or I'm in this situation because of XYZ,

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: I just say I'm in this situation. It just is,

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: and then I just stop. It's like a wool, it

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: just is and you can change it.

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,720

Speaker 2: Louisa was born and raised in Australia. She flew to

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: Los Angeles for a work opportunity early in her career,

25
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: and in today's episode, she talks about how that Los

26
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Angeles trip turned into a Los Angeles brief stay, which

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: turned into a trip over to New York and well

28
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: she really hasn't left much since. She gives us the

29

Speaker 2: lowdown on how a slew of awesome and fun opportunities

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 2: turned into her creating her dream job, and how grateful

31
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: and excited she was to hit the ground running here

32
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: in New York, thanks in part to some kindness from

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: the help of some new friends. Luisa talks to us

34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,080

36
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: the MLS, and NHL to enhance peak brain performance and

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: what that means, how someone maybe like you and I,

38
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: can also go after our greatest potential. She gets honest

39
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: about the hurdles that she's faced as an entrepreneur, the

40
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,800

00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: I've like lost all track of time.

59
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: The Whoop Intimate Dinner.

60
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: The Whoop Intimate Dinner, it was so good and I

61
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: was just like, Wow, I need to rank this woman's

62
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: brain and hear her entire story because I knew in

63
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: my brief moment with you, as enamorate as I was,

64
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: that my audience, the hurdlers, would feel the same way.

65
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: Oh I hope, so, I hope so so listening to

66
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: your angelic voice, You're not from here.

67
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: You grew up in Australia. And again I said this

68
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: last week on Wednesday's episode, but being a neuroscientist is

69
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: like a very impressive title. So when you were younger,

70
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: did you think what did you think you wanted to

71
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: be when you grew up, I was.

72
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: A different person as the only thing that really stays

73
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: true today is that I was an entrepreneur. When I

74
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: was about six years old, I was selling on the

75
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: black market at school. I was selling we have these

76
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: red frogs. They're a famous Australian candy, and I was

77
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: if you bought five of them at the canteen, it

78
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: was like eighty cents, and I thought, well, what if

79
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I can sell five to people for like fifty cents

80
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: and so so yeah, I was. I was doing crazy

81
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: things like.

82
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 2: That, would you just buy them in bulk? Get like

83
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: the Australian version of Costco.

84
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: I did, and my parents actually owned the Australian version

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: of costco. So I was getting them for free, so

86
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: I didn't actually have to pay for them, so it

87
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: was a win win. I was just I was just profiting,

88
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: just profiting.

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: I love this. So entrepreneurial from a young age just

90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: carries over with you as you grow up. You eventually

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: must decide that you are interested in pursuing some avenue

92
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: of medicine.

93
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it started. I was a swimmer all throughout school.

94
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: All Australians are swimmers. It's just a call it spade

95
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: a spade. And then at around seventeen years old, I

96
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: entered a triathlon. I didn't really know too much about it,

97
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: but I trained for six weeks. I thought, well, I

98
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: know how to ride a bike, I can run and

99
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: I can swim. Ended up coming first and that was

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: just by chance, and I got picked up by an

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: Australian triathlon coach. This was when I was seventeen, Like,

102
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: this was back when triathlon wasn't a thing, you know,

103
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: so it was really odd. It was like people are like,

104
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: what are you? What are you doing? So I did

105
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: that and I ended up training. I started training, you know,

106
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: forty plus hours a week and that was my entire goal.

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be the world's best triathlete.

108
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Did you have out of the three modality as a favorite.

109
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it was swimming. I was first out of the

110
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: water for swimming. You never hear that, Oh yeah, I

111
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: loved it. I'm a I'm a I'm not tiny, so

112
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: I'm not small and I was never built small, So

113
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: running was always my downfall. I would always I'd be

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: first out of the water, and then I'd be in

115
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: the midpack for cycling, and then as soon as I

116
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: got off the bike, I was like I was all

117
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: the way behind. So it was never gonna work out

118
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: for me.

119
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: Oh man, So you get into triathlon, you excel at triathlon,

120
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: and then what happens?

121
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: I was well excelling at triathlon. I was obsessed. I

122
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: needed to know everything about how to I become the

123
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: best triathlete. So I started studying cell biology. I started

124
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: studying my brain. I started studying everything that it took,

125
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: like literally physiology, exercise physiology, and I thought, I want

126
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: to go and study exercise physiology. So I did. I

127
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: actually became a high school teacher because I thought this

128
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: is the best way for me to train and work out.

129
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: So graduated. I was what. I graduated early at age twenty,

130
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: and after competing, I was reaching my end. I ended

131
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: up getting hit by a car. This was four weeks

132
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: before going to Beijing. So I qualified for Beijing back

133
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. I got hit by a car and

134
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: that was the end of my career.

135
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: Actually, so where were you when you got hit by

136
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: the car.

137
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: I was in Australia. We were doing an eighty kilometer

138
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: ride and at the forty kilometer turnaround point, that's when

139
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: the car hit me and slammed me up against a guardrail.

140
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: So I broke several bones and obviously couldn't compete in Beijing.

141
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: And my parents had a serious conversation. They're like, listen,

142
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: what are you going to do now with your life?

143
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: And that's when I literally I called it quits and

144
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: I thought, I need to study the brain. I need

145
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: to study what's happening inside my own brain.

146
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: What was the injury like for you after the accident.

147
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: I broke two ribs clavical I did my ACL MCL LCL.

148
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: I think that was pretty much it. So I did

149
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: have surgery on the knee.

150
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you experience complications with any art to this day?

151
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: To this day. Yes, I have constant issues. I'm literally

152
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: at my my therapist like every second week.

153
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yeah, I hope that you sued them.

154
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: Literally it was. It was the worst time in my life.

155
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: But it was also a blessing because I like, being

156
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: a triathlete as a woman is really hard, and I

157
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: know you've experienced your a marathon runner and to put

158
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: your entire life on hold. I didn't drink. I hadn't

159
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't drink that much now. I didn't drink,

160
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: and I had many failed relationsships because I could never

161
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: go out. It was just I didn't eat sugar. I

162
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: was forty pounds lighter than what I am now. So

163
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't I didn't think it was the best career

164
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: path for me.

165
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so you decide you're going to invest all of

166
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: this energy that you have now into this career pivot.

167
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: But I would imagine, despite being excited about the subject matter,

168
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: that pivot couldn't have been easy.

169
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: No, No, it was. I equate it as in going

170
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: through a divorce. I had to divorce the sport. It

171
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: hurt me so much, and my teammates became my best friends,

172
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: and they, you know, some of them still are. We

173
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: Literally we ate together, we trained together, we worked together,

174
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: we did everything together. So I had to It was

175
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: all in or nothing. And people say to me, now,

176
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: are you going to do another triath? And I'm like, no,

177
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I wis is just too much for me. But I did. Look,

178
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: I did get a lot from it. I competed, you know,

179
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: at a national level. I was top three in Australia.

180
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: It was. Yeah.

181
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: One of the hardest parts about getting injured is that

182
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: loss of community that you just spoke about, like not

183
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: showing up to the run that happens on Saturday mornings

184
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: or go owing to the group thing because you're not

185
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: going to be the one that gets on the bike

186
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: and joins for the ride. Did you find ways to

187
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: stay engaged with that community or did you feel like

188
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: it was better for you not to.

189
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: You know, I went through massive changes. I discovered alcohol,

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: I went on a huge trip to Europe with my friends,

191
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: and I discovered food. You know, it's wild and so

192
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: my entire life changed. But one thing that stood clear

193
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: was I was obsessed with the human body and I

194
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: knew what it was capable of, especially as a woman.

195
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I knew that there was something more to explore. And

196
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: I was just like I said, when I saw a

197
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: brain for the first time, because we go into Kadavlabs,

198
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: when I saw a brain for the first time, I

199
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: had this feeling inside me. I can't explain. It was like,

200
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: as I call it my first love.

201
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the idea of seeing an actual physical human

202
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: brain like totally gives me the shakes.

203
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like we got to cut one off. And you know,

204
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: I always say that it's the love of my life

205
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: because it's never let me down. We only argue once

206
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: a month, and it's it's been the greatest relationship.

207
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: That I've ever had, that you've ever had. Also, in

208
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: this hurdle moment period for you, adapting and making this pivot,

209
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: did you struggle with going from a very active lifestyle

210
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: to a less active lifestyle and perhaps some of the

211
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: body image issues.

212
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: I can come with that massively. You know what, it

213
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: was always trying to fit in. I was always trying.

214
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: So then I had to find new friends. So my

215
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: traath on friends you knew me. We were the exact same.

216
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: They also didn't want to go out and we were

217
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: just reading the same things and talking about the same things.

218
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: Then I started to migrate into another group that didn't exercise,

219
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, they just you know, wanted to go out

220
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: like normal people. And I'm like, well I can't. You know,

221
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: I can't drink if we go out. And they're like why,

222
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that true, I can I'm not

223
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: getting up tomorrow. So it was just such a different

224
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: experience and reintroducing cabs, you know, going out with my

225
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: family and family functions and now I can eat. It

226
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: was a real big I know it sounds ridiculous. I

227
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: wasn't starving myself, but it was just I didn't have

228
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: to monitor anything.

229
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, very different. So when you make the pivot, what

230
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: do you say that you're going to do in terms

231
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: of schooling.

232
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: I thought, I need to study science or I need

233
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: to study medicine. And that's exactly what I did. So

234
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: finished my career as a quote unquote high school teacher

235
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: and then moved straight into medicine at Sydney University. And

236
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: I still didn't know what I wanted. There was always

237
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: something more for me. I'm that type of person that

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: is I could never be a full time employee, you know,

239
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I always wanted to just keep achieving, keep

240
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: getting better and showing people that they can take control

241
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: of their lives if they understand their brain. I knew that,

242
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: but I needed to get the credentials or the certification.

243
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: I also needed to understand more about it myself. So

244
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: I literally wanted to go through and understand everything in

245
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: the body from the core sole biology all the way

246
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: up to how we see things and how we perceive things.

247
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Which when you laid out like that, it seems quite overwhelming,

248
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: at least to me, to think about how much there

249
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: is to learn about the body.

250
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Oh, you've got no idea, it's just it's insane.

251
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: So upon understanding that this was your desire, when do

252
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: you make the decision that the brain is one hundred

253
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: percent where it's at.

254
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 1: So it was a real special time. I knew I

255
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to give up on this elite athleticism world.

256
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: I loved soccer. I'm Greek. My parents were born and

257
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: raised in Cyprus, so we have a love for European soccer.

258
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: So I loved soccer and sport, and I knew back then,

259
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: let's think about twenty fourteen. Okay, this was the birth

260
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: of neuroathletics. People weren't talking about mindset. They weren't talking

261
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: about the brain. We had sports psychologists and I had

262
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: a lot of friends, okay, who were soccer players. And

263
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: there was this one soccer player in Australia. He played

264
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: for Australia, and he said, why don't you come and

265
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: do like a mindset kind of work out with us,

266
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: or you know, talked to us about mine? And I thought,

267
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: why can't I talk to you about the brain? He

268
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: didn't understand what I was talking about. And when I

269
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: went there, he said to me, he goes, hey, we

270
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: need to invoice you for your time. And I said okay,

271
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: and he goes, do you have a business? I said, yes,

272
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: I do. I actually didn't. So I went home and

273
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: I got online and I created what you guys call

274
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: an LLC. And I thought, what am I going to

275
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,239
Speaker 1: call my business? And it was literally I loved athletics

276
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: and I loved neuroscience. It was literally the intersection. And

277
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: that's how I created it. And that's when I went

278
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: out and I started just doing these workshops people and

279
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: it was about how can I teach people that the

280
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: brain is the hardware and the mind is the software.

281
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: And that's how I started.

282
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love hearing knowing your backstory and knowing

283
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: that when you were young you were extremely entrepreneurial, because

284
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: that would be the next question that I would ask

285
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: typically is did you were you surrounded by, you know,

286
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age or where do

287
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: you think that came from for you that when you

288
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: got older you of course were like, yes, I have

289
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: a business.

290
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because my parents. I'm gonna have to go

291
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: into some to some backstory in history here. So my

292
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: grandparents flew, you know, from they didn't fly, actually, they

293
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: got on a ship from Cyprus. They landed in Australia

294
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: and they started a fish and chip shop. So this

295
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: is what we do as Greeks, we start businesses. So

296
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: my entire life, we didn't know anything else. It's always

297
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: my parents have always been in business. And then they

298
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: started a company. My grandfather started company called Babina, which

299
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: was a food wholesaler, and I just was around it

300
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: from a young age. My brother started his own company,

301
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: my cousins did. I never knew really what it would

302
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: be like to be an employee. So from like I said,

303
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: from a young age, I was always thinking about, oh

304
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: imagine if I did this for someone then they would

305
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: pay me. Oh, imagine what I could do in exchange

306
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: for money for my time. So it was always just

307
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: about how can I provide a service to somebody and

308
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: in exchange get money?

309
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, And so when you were like, yes, I

310
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: have a business, where did you at first decide what

311
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: your rates could be for something like that?

312
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: I just spat out a number and he said, okay,

313
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: so it's funny. So we have an Australian version of

314
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: Lulu Lemon. It's called Lorna Jane. I don't know if

315
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: it's even in America.

316
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we have it here. I went, it's

317
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: definitely in California.

318
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Okay. I went to the store.

319
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: Someone's listening to this in LA and they're like, yes,

320
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: it's in California.

321
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Emily went to the store and I asked them. I said, Hi,

322
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: my name is This was twenty fifteen. I said, Hi,

323
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: my name is Louisa. I do mindset workshops. Would you

324
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: mind if I put one on here? And they're like, oh,

325
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: this is great, we would love that. So I literally did,

326
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: and around thirty women turned up. And then at the

327
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: end of it, I scribbled down on a piece of

328
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: paper I said, write your name and number anybody who

329
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: wants to come and do some private workshops with me,

330
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: And I ended up getting a list of ten. I

331
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: called them all up the next day and seven of

332
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: them said yes, and I just said great, the workshop

333
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: is for four weeks and it's fifteen hundred dollars. And

334
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: those seven people said yes. I was like, where am

335
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: I going to do this now? You know? So that's

336
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: I just I still believe in doing that. I still

337
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: believe in just putting anything out there m hm, and

338
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: the rest will come.

339
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: Lean, startup, math head, Lean, startup math head. You know.

340
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: That's also so interesting, the moment where you throw something

341
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: into the wind and see if it sticks, because really

342
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: the worst thing that could happen is that you tried. Right.

343
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: Well, the worst thing that can happen, I honestly believe

344
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: is they say no, and then I go, well, okay,

345
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: move on to the next person.

346
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, there's no fear, right, it's well the next

347
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: person or the next thing. Yeah, Like, if that idea

348
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: didn't work, it wasn't as though you didn't have, you know,

349
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: more tricks up your sleeve. And when you say that

350
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: you went in there and ran that type of clinic.

351
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: What did that look like?

352
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: So I put together a four week curriculum, if you will,

353
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: on how to build a like getting to peak performance

354
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: so you can excel in business, in life, in relationships.

355
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: And I put together a four week course, and I

356
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: literally gave the education and the tools so these people

357
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: could better themselves every day. And we started working and

358
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: implementing things such as what are you eating, how are

359
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: you waking up in the morning. Morning routines were the

360
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: best night routines. So we literally came up.

361
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: With a curriculum right right, There's so many people listening

362
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: right now that would one hundred percent dive into this.

363
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: So this is on your website for that. Yes, well,

364
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: well you must keep listening because we will not let

365
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: you know about the website until the end of this,

366
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: so don't fast forward. You have to learn more about

367
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: your potential teacher, but we will provide you with all

368
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: the information that you need in case you want to

Speaker 2: learn more and hack your personal performance. Okay, clearly a

00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: successful business woman from the get go, so you're doing this.

371
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: The Australian version of Lulamon. Laurena Jean is your first

372
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: jumping off point. But then you take off from there.

373
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's let's go from there, okay. And then

374
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: I went into a job. Okay. I was hired as

375
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: a sales girl okay at Australia's largest or fastest growing company. Okay.

376
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: It was very much Wolf of Wall Street. So this

377
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: was at the exact same time as Lula Lemon. Someone

378
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: just hired me. I had no idea what sales were,

379
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: but I got picked out of one hundred people. I

380
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: went to the Yeah, I actually went to the onboarding

381
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: and you go through. It was like an entire week

382
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: and they picked me. And when I was sitting there,

383
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: there was one hundred of us and they gave us

384
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: a task and they said, okay, everybody needs to get

385
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: in groups of five and you need They gave us

386
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: blocks and they if I remember back then, they said,

387
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: you guys need to build blocks to become you know,

388
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: this is your business, and tell us we want the

389
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: fastest growing business. And people were just putting blocks on

390
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: blocks on blocks on blocks. And I thought, well, if

391
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: everyone's got the same amount of blocks, and how are

392
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: we going to how are we going to be better?

393
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: So I took my tower from my group and I

394
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: went right when the buzzer went. I placed it on

395
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: the next person and the owner of the company said

396
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: you what's your name and I said Louis. He goes,

397
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: why did you do that? And I said, well, joint ventures.

398
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: I said, we're going to build a you know, we'll

399
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: build more revenue if you know, combine our strategies. And

400
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: they hired me. And on my first day, I said

401
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: what am I doing here? And he goes, well, you've

402
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: been high as sales. And that was where I learned entrepreneurship.

403
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: So this was a we were selling programs, twelve month

404
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: programs for early stage business owners who were doing anywhere

405
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: from half a million to five million, and this company

406
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: was putting them through a twelve month entrepreneurial process from

407
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: how to build your business from scratch. So I learned

408
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: that entire process. I was also the top performer of

409
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: sales for twelve months in a room full of men

410
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: there was I was the only woman, only female salesperson.

411
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: So I learned sales and entrepreneurship.

412
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: And after twelve months, where you were like, my work

413
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 2: is done here, it's time to move forward.

414
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was a very crazy. It wasn't just

415
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: a normal twelve months This was a Wolf of All Street.

416
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: They like every time we made a sale, they would

417
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: There was one time where they hired like farm animals

418
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: to come in and be crazy. It was a yeah,

419
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: go and watch that movie. Yeah, that was a type

420
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: of experience I was. I was in and that's how

421
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: I built my business. I came to America and I

422
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: saw there is a place for me in this city.

423
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: There was not a place for me in Australia. Australia

424
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: is ten years behind the American market.

425
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so came to New York City.

426
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: Jaws brought me here. For those of you who didn't

427
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: listen to the last episode, I mentioned that one girl

428
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: reached out to me and said, can we hire you

429
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: for a workshop? And that was Julie Jaws Nelson. She

430
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: helped me, I always tell I told her like she

431
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: she's the you know, she was the catalyst. She brought

432
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: me to the city. She got me into the fitness

433
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: industry here, and she also gave me a home. I said,

434
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't know where I'm going to stay, and she said,

435
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: I can't let you go back to Australia. She said,

436
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: so you're going to stay at my place. Ah my God,

437
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: for free.

438
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: Ah.

439
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes my like I am. It's very emotional

440
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: when you think about that. So she gave me her apartment.

441
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I stayed for three months.

442
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so insane when you take a step

443
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: back and think about that story and what a profound

444
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: impact that this woman that like didn't know you very

445
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: well at all, like, let me do this for you.

446
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be something as grandoise as Grandioyce

447
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: says offering someone your home, but even the smallest thing

448
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: that you can do for someone else out of the

449
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 2: kindness of your own heart can literally make the world

450
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: of difference.

451
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would

452
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: be here. She literally put me on a subway and

453
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: she said, this is how you catch a train in

454
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 1: New York. She took me to class with her. I

455
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: was there when she was part of the She wasn't

456
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: part of Rumble at that time. It was a different place.

457
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: I also met Jess Simms back in that day, and

458
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: she helped me and Jeremiah. I say these names because

459
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: they these people really were the start. I didn't even

460
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: know what New York was. I didn't even know what

461
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: it was. I just knew it from Sex and the City.

462
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: So that was the start of it, and that's when

463
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: I knew there's something here.

464
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: So what did the foundations of building your business in

465
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 2: New York look for you at that time? I mean,

466
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 2: I would imagine there was a lot of running around

467
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: and a lot more of throwing things at the wall

468
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: and hoping that they stick. Well.

469
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: I had to see product to market fit. So I

470
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: had to hone in on do I want to work

471
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: with athletes? And athletes is a very broad spectrum. So

472
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: I thought, I'm going to just work with NFL and

473
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: NBA athletes, NFL because of the concussion crisis, NBA because

474
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: I really think that I could make a dent in

475
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the optimization space. So I started my podcast. This was

476
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty sixteen when I moved, or twenty seventeen,

477
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: actually September twenty seventeen. Started the podcast just as a

478
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: way to get my information out there. And I kept

479
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: getting asked, but Luisa, what is the service that you provide?

480
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: And it was literally consulting. I said, let me just

481
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: come in and consult to the teams. Let me just

482
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: come in and talk to you about better brain health.

483
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: You know, that's all I wanted to do. So that

484
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: was just literally I was just going for it and

485
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: then doing the podcast and just going for it. And

486
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: that's all I've been doing, just been focusing on perfecting

487
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: my program so I can get better results for my

488
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: players on game day. Because I had this theory, I thought,

489
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: if these players are working to their best. You know

490
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: when when we think about how do we get better,

491
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: we always just look at the body. We say, well,

492
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: we need to train a bit more, we need to

493
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: get faster, we need to be our shooting accuracy needs

494
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: to be better. But we don't realize that shooting accuracy

495
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: comes from the brain. Okay, reaction time speed, information processing speed,

496
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: this all lives in the brain. So that's the that's

497
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: what I wanted to deliver to these athletes.

498
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone listening to this can hear you say I

499
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: knew I wanted to work with MBA and NFL teams.

500
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: And then their next question would be how did you

501
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 2: get in?

502
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: You know, I get asked that often and I'm literally

503
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: a girl from Australia who had nothing in this. When

504
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: I say nothing, I didn't even didn't have a social suit.

505
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: I just I now have a social security but I

506
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: didn't have a banking I did not know anything, and

507
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: I just I just turned up. I turned up to

508
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Gary office one day back in I saw him on

509
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: YouTube and I turned up to his office and I

510
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: walked in and the security guard said, do you have

511
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: an appointment? I said no, and Gary came down and

512
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: I grabbed Gary. I said, listen, I've come all the

513
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: way from Australia. I've walked. I walked eight miles to

514
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: get to his To get to his office, it was

515
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: beaming hot. It was the middle of July, and he

516
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: invited me up to his office and we got talking

517
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: and he gave me a business strategy session. He was

518
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: the one that told me to start my podcast. Yeah.

519
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: So when I say that I turn up to places,

520
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: I will literally find out who the coach is of

521
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: that place, and I will turn up there in a

522
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: non stalking manner.

523
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: Has this ever worked out in a negative way for you?

524
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: No? Actually, no one has said no just yet or

525
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: called the cops or anything.

526
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: It's remarkable, right, I mean it goes back to the

527
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: idea of what's the worst thing that could happen?

528
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: Right, That's what I kept saying, And I had nothing

529
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: to lose. When you're not. You know, I wasn't like this,

530
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: this relentless in Australia because it's like I knew everyone.

531
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: I was like, if I do do this is someone

532
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: could find out. But here I knew not if I

533
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: got literally smacked in the face or bad mouth, it'd

534
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: be like, well, I'll just go back to Australia, you know.

535
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: But thankfully, you know, this could explain why one hundred

536
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: percent or ninety eight percent of my clientele is men.

537
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's worked out for me. And I

538
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: got to tell you it hasn't been easy. Nothing has

539
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: been given to me I have. I've knocked on doors,

540
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: I've done anything I could to get there, and I'm

541
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: still I'm still working.

542
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: What would you say the most challenging part of upkeeping

543
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: your businesses? Right now?

544
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: So we've migrated into a new area and that's Wall Street.

545
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: And this comes from about eighteen months ago. Somebody, one

546
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: of my NBA players put me in touch with his

547
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: portfolio manager and he said, you know you guys always,

548
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: can you just go and talk to him. I'm like,

549
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: what do you want me to talk to him about?

550
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: He goes, he's really stressed. I know he goes you

551
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: just go and talk to him. I'm like, okay, So

552
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: I you know, I started speaking with this man. So

553
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: he's got fifty billion under asset management, so he's a

554
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: portfolio managers responsible, he's got many traders under his belt.

555
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: And he said, Luis A, I've had a decline in

556
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: my performance. And I said how So he said, I

557
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: don't know something's wrong with me. I don't know what

558
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing. So I said, okay, I said, I'm gonna

559
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: do a brain scan. So I forgot to tell you

560
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: that one of the biggest things that we have in neuroathletics.

561
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: We have an hospital grade EEG. So we actually do

562
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: brain scans on all of our athletes, so there's no

563
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: lies in what we do. So when we upgrade their

564
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: brain performance, we literally do a map of their brain.

565
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: So I did that for this for this gentleman. And

566
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: his brain looks he was he's forty nine or he

567
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: was back then, and his brain looked sixty five years old.

568
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: So this map puts you on a normative data and

569
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: it says to you, well, this is what a brain

570
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: of a forty nine year old person should look like.

571
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: And he was aging. His brain was literally aging, and

572
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: so I said, the reason why you're having a decline

573
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: in your information processing, speeding, your reaction, timing, your decision

574
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: making is because your brain is aging at an accelerated rate.

575
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: And that's scary because he was he was doing so

576
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: many wrong things. He was drinking his worries away, being

577
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, abusive to his wife, and he had kids

578
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: and it was just it was a mess. It was

579
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: a mess because of his brain. So we literally put

580
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: him on He's still with us today and that was

581
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: the catalyst into Wall Street because he's like, he goes,

582
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: you need to work with all of my traders. I

583
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: was like, okay, So I started working with them and

584
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 1: then word caught on and I'm now neuroathletics is in

585
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: two spaces. We are in the athletic space and we

586
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: are now in the financial space. And that's huge.

587
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very huge. Yeah, like two as you're getting

588
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: at here, like different but extremely high stress in professions.

589
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why.

590
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to talk to you

621
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: of the time. Inside Tracker tracks your progress every single day,

622
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: every single step of the way toward reaching your performance

623
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: goals and living a longer, healthier life. For a limited time,

624
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: you can get twenty percent off the entire inside Tracker

625
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: store over at inside tracker dot com slash hurdle. Again

626
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: that web address inside tracker dot com slash hurdle get

627
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: twenty percent off the entire store today. The next natural

628
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: question is when after this initial brain scan and you

629
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: start to work with people and you start talking about

630
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: these key metrics or these key benchmarks that you want

631
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: to home in on so that they can be more

632
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: of a high performer. The hurdlers want to know.

633
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we now have a very systemized process at neuroathletics.

634
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: It's no longer a loiser just goes in and just

635
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: does whatever. We've got a team of eight now and

636
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: this we've really honed in on our process. So we

637
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: work in three domains. We work in the exercise domain.

638
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: We then work in the sleep I also I call

639
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: it neuro physiology, brain physiology and sleep falls underneath that,

640
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: and then the nutritional domain. These three domains are free

641
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: really to everybody. Sleep is free, exercise is free, and

642
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: what you put into your mouth is your decision. So

643
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: everyone can be working on this stuff. But here's the thing,

644
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: and this goes back into medicine. You know, you can

645
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: have five patients who all have multiple scrosis MS, but

646
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: their treatment plans are different because they've all got you know,

647
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: different varying types of multiple scrosses. So it's not just

648
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: a well, they've all got MS, so we're going to

649
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: give them all the medication. No, it's they've all got MS,

650
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: but some of it is elerating faster, they're at different stages,

651
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: et cetera. So it becomes their own treatment plan. Just

652
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: like the brain scan, we find out what does your

653
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: brain look like under the microscope, and how can we

654
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: make it better through a nutritional protocol which is right

655
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: for your brain, through a sleep protocol that is right

656
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: for your routine and your brain, and then obviously everything else.

657
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: So what does it look like. Let's let's dive. Do

658
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: you want to dive into these three pillars?

659
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

660
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's start with exercise. Everybody exercises, well, everybody tries

661
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: to exercise.

662
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 2: I would say that everyone that is listening to this

663
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 2: episode right now has some sort of an exercise routine,

664
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: although at times it may slip a little bit, they

665
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: care passionately about moving their body great.

666
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: And then I always want to know why, like are

667
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: we doing I know I gave a talk for Tonal

668
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: a month ago, and I spoke about the reasons why

669
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: we should all be going to the gym to build

670
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: our brain. Okay, because exercise is one of the fundamental

671
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: things that you can do for brain performance. So if

672
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: we split exercise up into aerobic that's running, cycling, whatever,

673
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: that is really good for the brain. You're getting increased

674
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: oxygen to the brain. You're working on these capillaries, okay,

675
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: you call them capillaries in this country, and so that's

676
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: going to get increased blood flow and oxygen to the brain.

677
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: That's app Then we've also got resistance training and that's

678
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: the key driver of so many beneficial things, such as

679
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: for your brain. So you can literally stave off Alzheimer's

680
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: disease by twenty years by doing resistance training three times

681
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: a week. So resistance training is so imperative for brain health.

682
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: We get a rapid release of myokinds. Okay, they're called

683
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: muscle based proteins. So what happens when we resistance train

684
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: is these myokinds get released and then they go up,

685
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: They cross the blood brain barrier, and they have an

686
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: effect on our cognitive functions. They also have an effect

687
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: on the structural process of our brain. So you can

688
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: grow your brain, literally grow it, just like you grow

689
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: your bicep by resistance training. Isn't that wild? Like that's

690
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: really wild to me. Okay, it's wild the fact that

691
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: we can change the structure of our brain by resistance

692
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: training alone. Okay, what does more brain tissue mean? Just

693
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: better cognitive processes, bigger brain, smarter whatever. So we put

694
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: into place these resistance training programs for these athletes, hedge

695
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: find portfolio managers. Then let's move on to another form.

696
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: We've got our own proprietary training regime. It's called neuroathletics.

697
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: Literally it's brain training, So we have different things where

698
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: you can literally train your brain. We do reaction training exercises,

699
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: we work with lights, we work with balls.

700
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: Et cetera.

701
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: So that becomes part of it.

702
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: Can we also talk about cognitive exercises because I guess

703
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: that a lot of us are actually becoming more aware

704
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: of the benefits of literal brain exercises, whether they be

705
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: something like the wordle or a crossword. I've been doing

706
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: a lot more of that as I've gotten older.

707
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: You know that's great, But I'm going to get you

708
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: onto neuroathletics training. Okay, and it just requires two balls.

709
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: We actually have them. They're called neuroballs. But my team

710
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: is like, we should come up with a new word

711
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: for that. And it really doesn't take much. You just

712
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: have to do it five minutes a day and you

713
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: are growing your brain. So it's literally if you just

714
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: get a ball, you're working on your reaction time. You

715
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: just throw the ball to the wall. Okay, You're also

716
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: working on hand eye coordination. Then you can do other

717
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: things such as you can stand on one leg and

718
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: do it, and you're working on balancing, and that's involving

719
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: the cerebellum, an area of your brain, a little part

720
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: of your brain at the back. So there's so many

721
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: different things that you can do to train your brain,

722
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: and we neglect these because we think, what's you know,

723
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: we're not going to lose weight by doing Okay, so

724
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: that's the exercise regime. Then we move on to nutritional

725
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: and we outsource our nutrition. But the one thing that

726
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: we do is we do a lot of supplement protocols.

727
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: And your listeners may be thinking, but Louise, I'm really healthy.

728
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't really need supplements, and I beg to differ.

729
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, let's first take I think the most crucial

730
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: thing for your brain when it comes to supplementation and

731
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: nutrients is Amiga three fish oil. And the reason being

732
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: is that your brain is actually made of fat, predominantly dha.

733
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: Now Amiga three is epa, dha and ala, so if

734
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: it's literally made of dha, you should be refeeding it

735
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: that dha. Sadly, in this country, some of the fish

736
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: may not be the best thing.

737
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 2: For your your poor grandparents and parents listening to that.

738
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's why I go to Greece in

739
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: the summer and I get the fresh court wild caught salmon.

740
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: But now it's like, you have to be supplementing with

741
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: a Mega three. You want to feed your brain, right,

742
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: it also lowers cortisol, inflammation, et cetera. So it's it

743
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: is the utmost one of the most important nutrients you

744
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: can do for your brain.

745
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: It's so interesting hearing all of this. I mean, so

746
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: many different components to a really beautiful picture of overall wellness.

747
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: But these days everyone wants to know what's the easiest,

748
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: the one fix, the one thing that you can do.

749
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: And what you're saying is it's not that simple.

750
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: It's not. No, it's funny. We had a meeting with

751
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: a branding agency and they're like, Louis, you need to

752
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: simplify everything. I'm like, no, I can't, because if I did,

753
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: then it takes away from what we do. You know,

754
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: I went to school for ten years to study this structure.

755
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be easy, right, you know, you go into

756
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: brain surgery, you know you've got to understand the brain

757
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: and it's not easy. So I wish I could, but

758
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: it's not that simple. So have you ever heard of

759
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: a sweat test.

760
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done them before.

761
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: Oh really, yes, that's amazing. We do those for all

762
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: of our players. And the the reason being is that

763
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: because you realize that if you've got just like even

764
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: a two percent drop in your hydration, it can really

765
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: negatively affect your reaction time and your attention and your focus.

766
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: And sadly, a lot of people just hydrate with water

767
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: and that's really great. But our brain. Okay, so remember

768
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: how I spoke to you in the last episode about neurons.

769
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: So we have anywhere from eighty to one hundred billion

770
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: neurons in our brain. They are nerve cells, and the

771
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: way they communicate with each other is via an action potential.

772
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: And this action potential has this thing called a sodium

773
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: potassium pump, dating back to like high school biology here.

774
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: But what is that sodium potassium pump? Electrolytes. Sodium potassium.

775
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: We need to be feeding our neurons with electrolytes, So

776
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: we do these sweat tests on our athletes to see

777
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: how much sweat or electrolytes are you burning throughout the day,

778
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: or how much are you getting rid of so they

779
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: can replace it and optimize it. So these are just

780
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: little things. You know this I can, I can riff

781
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: on about a million different nutrients ad a really good

782
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: fear brain.

783
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: For you these days. If you took a step back

784
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 2: and you looked at your own individual wellness routine, would

785
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: you say that you are quote unquote equally filling up

786
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: the buckets. You're thinking the same amount of priority when

787
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: it comes to exercises, you are about sleep as you

788
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: are about maybe like how you're filling your cup up

789
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 2: during the day. Or do you yourself struggle in any of

790
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 2: one of these particular areas.

791
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I mean, you could just take one

792
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: look at me and it would be clear indication that

793
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: I struggle, And I'll tell you why. I never give

794
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: myself out. But right now in the stage of life

795
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: that I'm going really hard with my company where you know,

796
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: we're in many different hedge fund spaces now we're just

797
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: we're going crazy, and I'm spending a lot of time

798
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: on that, and I'm I've taken a back seat with

799
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: the nutrition pillar. And that's probably some sort of like

800
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: psychological thing. I need to see someone about that, because

801
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: when I get stressed and anxious and freaked out, my

802
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: tendency isn't to go towards anything such as drugs or alcohol.

803
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: I've never been inclined.

804
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: To do that.

805
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: I do turn to food if I'm really stressed, and

806
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't. I can't beat that right now,

807
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: as in like Luisa, don't get the muffin, don't get

808
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: the chocolate. But I don't have the mental capacity right

809
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: now to say no because of where I'm at with

810
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: my business, so that takes a back seat. But sleep

811
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: never takes a back seat for me for some reason.

812
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: I'm just that is my heart of hearts. And I

813
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: always exercise because if I don't, I will literally I'll

814
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: fall apart. My exercise is also not the best. I

815
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: mean I train every day, okay, but it could it

816
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: be better. Like me being I was a professional athlete,

817
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: I know what I'm capable of. I'm not there either,

818
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: and it's in my head. I'm just going through probably

819
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: one of the biggest parts of my company were restructuring

820
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot, and hopefully once it gets to where it is,

821
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I will definitely be back there.

822
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 2: I think as someone who works with the brain, you

823
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: also have an awareness of the importance of grace and

824
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: compassion with yourself as you go through this major life

825
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: moment for yourself.

826
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: The things that I don't skimp out on is the

827
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: non negotiables. I get sunlight everything. And I'm also a

828
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: creature of habits. So every morning you'll see me the

829
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: exact same time, do the exact same thing. Always get

830
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: my sunlight. I'm always feeding my brain with nutrition. I'm

831
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: always hydrated. I don't I'm not a drinker. I'm just

832
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm just not. So I'm blessed for that. So I

833
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: don't have to like, oh, I can't drink tonight. I'm

834
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: just don't drink. I don't take drugs, I don't smoke.

835
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: So I'm blessed in that aspect. The only bad thing

836
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: is and it's not even that bad. I mean it's

837
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: it is being very mindful of what I'm eating.

838
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 2: So you mentioned the word habit, which I think is

839
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: something that a lot of people strive to upkeep. They

840
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: want to have healthy habits. Now, forming routines and creating

841
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 2: habits that you can stick with at times can be

842
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: super challenging. So with your expertise, what would you say

843
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 2: to someone who is trying to perhaps start off their

844
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 2: day with some healthier habits and they're having a hard

845
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: time sticking with it.

846
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: My first thing is I always look at why. We

847
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: do these things called maps, you know, we get it.

848
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: We literally get a mental map of your habits in

849
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: the past, the triggers and the routines, and then we

850
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: put you on a strategy to upgrade those. I always

851
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: start with why. First of all, what is the habit

852
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: you're trying to create and why? And if it is just, oh,

853
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: just to be healthier, it's not going to work. You

854
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: really have to get to the core and the root

855
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: of why, which is why. I think education is the

856
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: best thing for anybody, and we'll consolve a lot of

857
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: the world's problems. So if you're trying to two gets,

858
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, trying to pick a routine every morning, I

859
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: would say start small, don't put so much pressure on

860
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: your brain. Just start really, it could just be getting

861
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: up at seven am. That's all you have to do.

862
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: Just wake up and just go outside. That's it. Let

863
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: that sink in for fourteen days, two weeks. Then introduce

864
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: a new a new thing on top of that new routine,

865
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: and it could be setting an alarm, drink drink a

866
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: liter of water by midday, so just start off. I

867
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: cannot express enough if you go and put so much.

868
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: You know people who are like, okay, I just want

869
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: to get fit, or what is it? Dry July? Is

870
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: that a thing? Dry?

871
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: January?

872
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: Okay? Dry?

873
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 2: Certainly? Not dry to ly? How people are not doing

874
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: a dry summer month.

875
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone who's really doing that many dry

876
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: months in this city. But it's literally, don't put so

877
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: much pressure on yourself. Just do one thing at a

878
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: time and create that habit, then move on to the

879
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: next thing.

880
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 2: And I love that takeaway of finding your why. It's

881
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: something that certainly we've touched on on the show before,

882
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: this idea that if you see someone doing something and

883
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: it looks cool and that you think that you could

884
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: also have a good time doing it, like okay, but

885
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: ask yourself, is this really a habit or a thing

886
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 2: that has purpose for me? Is this something that I

887
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 2: feel passionate about? Because if you are taking the charge

888
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: based on somebody else's fire, then that fire is going

889
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 2: to dwindle real quick, real fast.

890
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. But it's that's what it's like in every aspect

891
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: of life. We see something now on Instagram and we

892
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: want to be that person. We want to wear those clothes,

893
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: we want to do those things, and you just have

894
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: to start with examining yourself. I think that's the best

895
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: thing that I do. One of my routines is I

896
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: put everything on paper. If you see me and you

897
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: see my apartment, I've filled up, literally, I've filled up

898
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: like tens of thousands of books with just if I've

899
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: got a thought in my head, I write it down.

900
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: And that's probably the best thing that you can do.

901
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: I love that you get it out, you put it

902
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: out in four world.

903
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything I think.

904
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: About, Wow, maybe I need to start taking it from you.

905
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

906
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 2: So right now, as you are building your business, how

907
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: are you taking care of yourself? What's your self care

908
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: routine look like?

909
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: So it differs from Australia and here. So in Australia,

910
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: I have my apartment, I've got an ice bath there.

911
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm about to get my own sauna as well. So

912
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 1: many things are available to us. I've got the beach

913
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: right at my forefront, so I go out, I exercise

914
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: every morning, I go to the beach. But let's talk

915
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: about where we're at right now, because all of your

916
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: listeners aren't in Australia, okay there, whether they're in New

917
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: York City. One thing that I do is I take

918
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: time away from my phone. Okay, that might sound really simple,

919
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 1: but when I say take time away from my phone,

920
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: I pretend my phone doesn't exist and it's not in

921
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: my existence. So I don't see notifications, I don't see

922
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: other people, etc. I do take care of my sleep

923
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: and my routines, and I take care of myself in

924
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: terms of you know, I I look at myself as

925
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: a separate person, and I'll look outside of myself and

926
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: I will literally feel like, Luisa, you are abusing yourself.

927
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: If you eat this, you are abusing yourself if you

928
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: don't sleep, if you don't think this way and act

929
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: this way. I'm mindful of the way I talk to

930
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: myself because that used to be my biggest downfall. So

931
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm mindful of that. But in terms of self care,

932
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: I go and see a physical therapist. Now I get

933
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: dry needling, and I literally do that as a habit

934
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: every two weeks. I think that's really important too.

935
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's just so many different ways that

936
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 2: we have the opportunity to take care of ourselves and

937
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 2: articulating what feels good for you, just like we're saying,

938
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: don't pick up on goals or start getting into things

939
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 2: that don't actually make you excited, that don't tie to

940
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 2: your why. It's the same with your self care practice.

941
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 2: So just because you see someone that's taking epsom salt

942
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 2: baths and like watching who knows why in their tub,

943
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 2: if that's something that you actually dread and then that's

944
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: not what you need to do for self care. You

945
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 2: need to do what feels right you and your body.

946
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I've also started growing my own sprouts.

947
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 2: Oh I love this really.

948
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I grow my own broccoli sprouts and my

949
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: own monk. Like my place is full of sprouts. So

950
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: I ate a lot of sprouts. And I love cooking,

951
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: so I cook for myself. And look, if I'm ever

952
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: not with anyone, sometimes they take myself out on a

953
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: date and I know you're big on that.

954
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: I love a little solo date action. I love a

955
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: little solo date action. So one of the final topics

956
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 2: that I want to chat with you about today is

957
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 2: we're talking about high performers, your bread and butter. Also,

958
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 2: so many of these individuals under a lot of pressure.

959
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: Many people listening to this right now can relate to

960
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 2: whether it's in the workday or just in life, that

961
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: everything can feel heavy and that they can feel like

962
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: they are also under a lot of pressure. What would

963
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 2: you say to them for tricks or what advice would

964
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 2: you offer to people when it comes to staying calm

965
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: under pressure.

966
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a huge one and it's one that everybody

967
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: needs to experience. First of all, you have to realize

968
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: that everything you do on a daily basis is preparing

969
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: you for that moment of breakdown or is preparing you

970
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: for that moment of burnout. So what I want everyone

971
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: to be mindful for is what do I do when

972
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: I start to panic instead of that? Okay, because there

973
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: are multiple strategies that we can talk about. Let's track

974
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: back and reverse engineer it. What can we do to

975
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: shield us from that? And it all starts with having

976
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: a you know, you can have a bulletproof brain and body,

977
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: because the more that you shield just of the stronger

978
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 1: you are, the better that you can stave off these

979
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: moments of high pressure situations. Because the one thing that

980
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: you don't want is to say something. We've all been there,

981
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: say something in a heated moment that you will regret.

982
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: So every day, getting a morning routine, bulletproof morning routine

983
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: and a bulletproof night routine. And this involves, like I said,

984
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: going out and getting natural sunlight, but also doing breath

985
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: work if you can spend and I usually say do

986
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: breath work at around two pm every day if you can,

987
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: because that's when a lot of people feel a slump

988
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: in their performance and they kind of feel like they're

989
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: going downhill. So if you can take five minutes at

990
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: two pm or during the day and just sit there

991
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: in silence and just focus on your breathing, that is

992
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: going to have a massive effect on your performance and

993
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: how you react.

994
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: I've been using this new app called Open. Have you

995
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 2: heard of it? No, there's this app called Open that

996
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: I've been using and they have a bunch of different

997
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: breathwork options from ranging from one minute so you could

998
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 2: do breathwork for twenty minutes and more. I'm even sure,

999
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: and I just it's I haven't messed it up yet,

1000
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: So maybe that's why I like it so much. Yeah,

1001
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some mental thing in that.

1002
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, you've got to really look at like

1003
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: when you say high procsistion. So I've got one of

1004
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: my Miami Heat boys. He always says, always when I go,

1005
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm really clear. But when a soon as he goes

1006
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: on the courts, soon as he hears that whistle, everything

1007
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: comes crashing down in his head. Okay, I don't want

1008
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: to let my parents down, I don't want to let

1009
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: the coach down, don't want to let my team down.

1010
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: So he goes through a lot and he just keeps overthinking, overthinking.

1011
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: One of the strategies we put in place is an

1012
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: anchoring strategy. So this is a I call it a

1013
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: real time strategy, so this is not something shielded himself

1014
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: from happens in the moment. Soon as he starts to

1015
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: overthink on the court, I get him to have a

1016
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: he performs a physical cue such as clicking okay, and

1017
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: as soon as he clicks or as soon as he

1018
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: hits himself whatever, like slaps his leg, he has to

1019
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: anchor that thought and think of his greatest moment. So

1020
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: we have mapped out even photos. I've got him to

1021
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: print out his greatest moments okay, and he's literally print

1022
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: out so it's embedded in his brain. So as soon

1023
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: as he performs that anchoring technique on the court, he

1024
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 1: thinks about his greatest moment and then he's immediately changed

1025
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: his thought.

1026
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: I love the idea of an anchor.

1027
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a physiological anchor. You can literally perform

1028
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: any Q and anchor it. So you turn that thought around.

1029
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 2: My life coach taught me to do PQ reps.

1030
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: Oh what's a PEAKQ rep?

1031
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Am I going to teach you something. I forget

1032
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: what the actual what it's short for, but basically different

1033
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: like anchoring behaviors, so to speak, that would help you

1034
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 2: like come back to focusing on this one thing that

1035
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 2: is aside from your anxiety, similar to just taking some

1036
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 2: deep breaths and maybe doing a box breath. So an

1037
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: example of a pqrap could be rubbing your fingers together

1038
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 2: for two minutes and solely thinking about the sensation that

1039
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: is happening between your two fingers instead of everything else

1040
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: that's going on in your day. And so to your

1041
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 2: point about doing the breathwork at two pm, I find

1042
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 2: myself like stopping and doing a PQ rep at two pm.

1043
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: But see a lot of people don't think to themselves.

1044
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: You know, you could have a really normal day and

1045
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: you'll be like, I'm really not stressed today. Why would

1046
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,959
Speaker 1: I do that? You know, at twelve pm, why would

1047
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: I stop and do these PQ reps? And then at

1048
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: three pm something would happen and then they could fire up.

1049
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: And that's happened to me. I've been completely normal, you know,

1050
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: completely fine, and then something something will happen and I

1051
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: will have the ability to literally, you know, go crazy.

1052
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: So you have to be deliberate with your strategies. You

1053
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: have to be deliberate with your sleep, with what you

1054
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: put in your mouth, with who you talk to, with

1055
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: who you surround yourself with, from the advice that you

1056
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: take in. I've got a new rule. It was a

1057
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two rule. I don't take advice from people

1058
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: who who are not doing better than me in that

1059
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: aspect of life. It's like a new thing. And that's

1060
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: really hard for some people because as soon as someone

1061
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: gives me unwanted advice, it used to really affect me.

1062
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: But I caution them, I stop them, I say, how

1063
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: much is your business doing? Are you in business? You're

1064
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: not in business, don't give me the advice. Call thanks.

1065
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:56,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have chills. I'm like excited, so

1066
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: and I do want to end this note by saying

1067
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: that anxiety is just to build up of these unwanted

1068
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: thoughts that are not real, something that you believe to

1069
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: be true that's going to happen in the future. And

1070
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: one thing that I'm doing right now with myself, because

1071
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: I can fall into a pit of anxious thoughts, we

1072
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: all can, I stop myself and I stop it at

1073
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: it is. Instead of saying, well my relationship is like

1074
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: this because of X y Z, or I'm in this

1075
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: situation because of XYZ, I just say I'm in this situation.

1076
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: It just is, and then I just stop. It's like

1077
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: a wall, it just is, and you can change it.

1078
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 2: You can change it. It's the idea. This is how

1079
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 2: it is now, and it's going to be different in

1080
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: five seconds, and it was different five seconds ago. And

1081
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 2: all you can you moving forward is the best with

1082
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 2: what you have in this moment. What excites you right now.

1083
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 1: What excites me right now is this new opportunity of

1084
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: moving into you know, we only, like I said, we're

1085
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 1: only working with NBA and NFL players. I'm very excited

1086
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: about this finance space. I'm really excited to take on

1087
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: Wall Street and go I want every single hedge fund

1088
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: to think. We looked up. There's seven hundred and fifty

1089
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: hedge funds give or take in New York City alone,

1090
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: and I want every single one of them to know

1091
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: who we are.

1092
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: What a powerful, powerful statement. That's so amazing. I love it.

1093
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 2: I love it all. If you had to reflect on

1094
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: the last year and think about some of the best

1095
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 2: advice that you've received as an entrepreneur, what would you

1096
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 2: say that would be.

1097
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: Coming down? If anyone can you know, if you could

1098
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: all watch me, I'm doing like a Cone feature. It

1099
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: is really honing in on the one person. You know,

1100
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: I used to think about you think about entrepreneurship, be

1101
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: like how many people can I help in the world?

1102
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: And look, instead of just I nailed it down to

1103
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 1: one person.

1104
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 2: Who is it?

1105
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: It's that one person. It's like that avatar, right, you

1106
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: come down, It's like, who's your ideal customer advatar? It is, Yeah,

1107
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: it is that person where one margin or one percent

1108
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: can mean the difference between thirty million and zero. And

1109
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: that's who it was. And I once I got down

1110
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: to that, because that can be Lebron. You know, we

1111
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: can increase, We can get him fourteen more points per year,

1112
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: and he could get an extra thirty million dollars a year,

1113
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: or it is the hedge fund portfolio manager. So it

1114
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: really is getting down to that and honing in on

1115
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: that instead of thinking so big, so wide. It is

1116
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: really going down to being able to put that one

1117
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: person on the head of a pin.

1118
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: When you have an opportunity to offer the listener one

1119
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 2: piece of advice. They've heard all of your best practice

1120
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 2: tips for lever leveling up their personal performance, also staying

1121
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 2: calm under pressure, getting better sleep. So much goodness in

1122
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 2: this episode, but you can tell them just like one

1123
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 2: snippet to get just that one percent better themselves. What

1124
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: do you lean into?

1125
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: I always lean into you? Are you? What is happening now?

1126
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: Probably won't in five years. We're all going to die, Okay,

1127
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: So none of this really matters, only the legacy that

1128
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: you leave. So if you have any chance and any

1129
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to work further towards your goals or success or

1130
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: accelerate them, you have to start from the ground up,

1131
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: and that is starting with what Mother Nature has given you.

1132
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: She's giving you the ability to sleep, she's given the

1133
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: ability to drink water, hydrate, and the ability to exercise.

1134
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: You do these are all free. They are free, They're

1135
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: just given to you. You have to learn how to

1136
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: manipulate those and start from the ground up, and then

1137
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: you can move on to the next thing.

1138
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: Right now, my friend, you have the opportunity to offer

1139
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: yourself one piece of advice looking back on the hurdle moment,

1140
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: which was moving to the United States. You know, you

1141
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 2: did speak about the difficulties that went hand in hand

1142
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 2: with having to pivot away from being in triathlon. But

1143
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 2: I do feel, as it pretends to our conversation today,

1144
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 2: that that big change, that big step, laid the foundation

1145
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: for all that is what you have going on at

1146
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: this time. So you have an opportunity right now, Louisa,

1147
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 2: to offer yourself a piece of advice back when you

1148
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 2: move to the US, living on couches, learning the subways.

1149
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: Looking back on it, now, what do you tell yourself?

1150
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: Calm down and remember who you are. I think it

1151
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: was very easy for me back then to get caught

1152
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: up in craziness that wasn't who I was. So if

1153
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: I looked back, it is just calm down, center, focus

1154
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: and move on and move on.

1155
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful for you in your time. I feel

1156
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: like I need to go back and listen to this

1157
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 2: episode and take notes. How do the hurdlers keep up

1158
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: with you? How do they follow along with you? Give

1159
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,600
