"Your Best Life Starts When You Align Your Values" with Doug Lennick

"Your Best Life Starts When You Align Your Values" with Doug Lennick

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1894128/fan_mail/new] https://www.think2perform.com/ Your values are already driving your decisions, even when you never stop to name them. Brian Bosley sits down with returning guest Doug Lennick to make values, purpose, and behavior change feel concrete and usable, not abstract. Doug shares what Think2Perform has learned by converting their classic values cards exercise into a free online tool, now completed by people across 146 nations. The data is striking: family ranks as the top value worldwide by a landslide, with health and happiness close behind, and that pattern reveals what people chase when life is working and what they miss when it is not.  From there, we move into purpose, meaningful work, and the science of happiness, drawing connections to calling-based coaching and research that points to contribution over consumption. Doug challenges the idea that the goal is to work so we can stop working, arguing instead that we are healthier and happier when our days include meaning, service, and alignment. For leaders and anyone in financial services, we dig into a tough truth: acting in someone’s best interest is expected, but helping them act in their own best interest requires real behavioral change.  Doug then explains emotional intelligence, emotional competence, and the biology behind amygdala hijack in plain language, including a sticky metaphor: your brain can’t tell the difference between a bear market and a bear in the woods. The practical tool we keep coming back to is the freeze game, a quick pause to ask what you’re thinking, feeling, and doing in your body, so you can respond instead of react. We wrap by connecting habits and systems to long-term success and showing how to turn values into verbs you can live daily.

What If Most Sleep Problems Start In Your Mouth; Dr. Steven Park

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1894128/fan_mail/new] https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002JVF7BK?ccs_id=f3ee9867-ed2b-4bf5-9c5d-bdb5164b91f6 If you’ve tried every sleep tip on the internet and still wake up tired, there’s a chance you’re treating the symptom and ignoring the bottleneck: breathing. Peak Performance Coach Brian Bosley sits down with ENT surgeon and sleep medicine specialist Dr. Steven Park, author of *Sleep Interrupted*, for a grounded look at why so many modern adults struggle with snoring, reflux, fragmented sleep, and that frustrating 3 AM wake up. We dig into Park’s core claim that “modern faces” often develop smaller jaws and narrower airways thanks to softer diets, less chewing, and early-life factors like reduced breastfeeding. From there, we get practical fast: why nasal breathing matters for sleep and endurance (including the role of nitric oxide), how late-night eating can drive reflux and nighttime arousals, and why blue light and screens can suppress melatonin at the exact time your body needs it most. We also cover overlooked problems like upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), why some sleep studies miss real fatigue, and simple experiments you can try at home like nasal strips, safer mouth taping approaches, and tongue exercises or myofunctional therapy (including the Airway Gym app). Then we zoom out to Park’s upcoming book *Health Interrupted* and his holistic framework connecting light, food, movement, stress, airway health, and meaning.

"I Choose.." with Travis Allen Sterner

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1894128/fan_mail/new] https://www.sternerinspirations.com/ You can hear the exact moment a life turns. Travis Allen Sterner tried to end his life as a teenager, then spent decades climbing, crashing, and rebuilding until he reached something most people want but few can explain: real freedom. When he tells me he does “pretty much anything I want,” we unpack the price he paid to earn that sentence and the choices that made it true. We go from military service and high-income corporate success into the darker side of ambition, including meth addiction used as a productivity weapon, sleep deprivation, and the slow erosion of identity. Travis shares the turning point that still gives me chills: a personal growth seminar where he stands in front of a room full of strangers, admits he has been lying to everyone, and throws away his drug kit on the spot. From there, we talk about what recovery actually looks like when it’s not a slogan, and how empathy becomes real when you’re raising kids who carry trauma of their own. At the center of our conversation is Travis’s "I Choose..." Framework, inspired by a sticky note from his grandmother that simply read: “I choose…” That phrase becomes a practical tool for self-awareness, forgiveness, and freedom, plus a clear way to change the language you use with yourself from “I have to” into “I choose to.” We also explore foster parenting, identity, shame, and a deeper gratitude practice that goes beyond generic lists into the specific details that instantly ground you. If this hits you, share it with someone who feels stuck, struggling, or ashamed of their past. Subscribe, leave a review, and send me your biggest takeaway: what are you choosing next?

"Daily Questions That Make Change Stick" with Lisa Broderick

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1894128/fan_mail/new] https://permanencebook.com/ If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not moving forward, this conversation is going to hit home. I’m joined by Lisa Broderick, serial CEO, board leader, and co-author of Permanence with legendary executive coach Marshall Goldsmith. We dig into a simple practice that sounds almost too easy until you try it: daily self-measurement through a short set of questions that force honest reflection and consistent effort. Lisa explains the framework behind Marshall’s Daily Questions and why the wording matters so much. “Did I do my best to…” shifts you from judging outcomes to owning effort, which is the only part you can actually control. I share how this practice became a lifeline for me during a painful breakup and a major life transition, because it gave me a steady nightly self-audit when everything else felt uncertain. We also get practical about leadership and personal development: how accountability makes scores rise over time, why feedforward beats feedback for growth at work and at home, and how to escape comparison culture fueled by social media by playing your own inner game. If you want an evening routine that actually sticks, or a habit formation tool you can use for performance, relationships, and meaning, this is a strong place to start. Grab the book, try the questions tonight, and then come back and tell me what you noticed. Subscribe, share this with someone you care about, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

"Taking Aligned Action" with Rebecca Stephens

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1894128/fan_mail/new] https://www.lfenergetics.com/ A lot of people can talk about “healing.” Fewer can describe what it feels like to live years in survival mode and then climb out, one choice at a time. I’m joined by Rebecca Stephens, founder of Life Force Energetics, who shares the lived experience behind her work: a childhood across cultures, the unimaginable loss of her young daughter to cancer, and the long stretch afterward where therapy, medication, and coping strategies still didn’t restore peace in her body. Her honesty lands hard, and it opens the door to real hope. From there, we get practical. Rebecca explains how she moved from aromatherapy and brain curiosity into energy medicine, eventually creating her own hands-on approach called quantum neuro-repatterning. We break down what she means by the quantum field in plain English: a space of information and infinite possibilities that becomes more available when we quiet the mind, soften the body, and stop fixating on one narrow story. We also talk trauma in a way that’s useful, not dramatic: trauma can be big or small, but what matters is how much it disrupts the nervous system and gets stored as a pattern. We go deeper into why people “bungee cord” back to old stress loops, why calm can feel unsafe when chaos has been your normal, and how lasting change often requires alignment across body, mind, energy, and soul. Rebecca even shares a simple, listener-friendly technique you can try at night to settle your system and invite insight. If you’re interested in nervous system regulation, trauma healing, manifestation that includes aligned action, and practical mind-body tools, this conversation will meet you where you are.
