The 121 Mindset Podcast explores life opportunities and the human capabilities we all possess.

EP003 - The Hidden Consequences of Sleep in Our Life

Life can be pretty complex and overwhelming to the point that we feel lost, that we cannot distinguish the trees from the forest, it becomes what I call it “the Spaghetti Bolognese” effect – all jumbled up. Making the right decisions whilst in this frame of mind becomes convoluted – difficult. But what if you could simply improve our self-performance by improving the quality of our sleep? After all, we spend on average 26 years of our entire life sleeping, and 7 years trying to fall asleep! Now, we don't sleep for nothing. We sleep to repair. And the quality of our sleep will dictate how well we live, how much we experience life, and how long we will live. Enjoy this episode and I look forward to your comments after you implement some of the sleeping tips mentioned in this podcast.

EP002 - Stepping into the Unknown, the Early Steps that Shape your Future

Have you ever thought of how everything started in your life? Some of the early decisions you have made into your journey that have altered the course of your life? In this second episode of the 121 Mindset Podcast Christophe Barriere-Varju talks about how his life changed. From being a terrible high-school student not knowing what to do with his life to taking a giant step moving from West Africa to the United States not speaking English. Sometime you have to think big, dream big, take a giant leap, despite all odds stacked against you, and simply believe in your gut "I can do it", leave doubt in a drawer and throw away the key. Nothing comes easy, and that's how you build resilience, you keep pushing despites the rules and the rejections, you keep moving forward one step at a time facing the unknown until you figure it out, believe without a single doubt. The word "doubt" should not even be part of our vocabulary or thoughts. Just take a step forward, learn, apply, take another step, keep on learning, and apply what you have learned as soon as you can, then be hungrier and learn some more!
