Here is a business story, that is really a humanitarian story, but overall is an incredible story of drive I believe you’ll be inspired and equipped by. The story would make a great movie, and since my guest actually roomed with Matt Damon in college, it just might become one. James Rhee’s parents migrated to America from Korea. James was driven to excel and please his parents, so he got into Harvard. But he really wanted to teach, so he then taught high school for a couple years. Some of his most rewarding years he says. But then he went back to Harvard and graduated from law school. But he realized he didn’t want to be a lawyer so he became an investment banker. He did well, but realized he didn’t want to do that either. So he worked in private equity. He did well. Very well. He appreciated helping businesses, but didn’t like how disconnected he was from everything. So he quit and didn’t know what to do. Then he ends up in an unlikely place - as CEO of Ashley Stewart, a fashion retailer that served plus-size, predominantly middle- and lower-income Black women. And the company was at its end. The death knell had sounded. James came in for what was supposed to be six months because he felt an obligation to help. He ended up there for seven years with a miracle turnaround story that he’s now described in a book called Red Helicopter: Lead Change With Kindness. You'll hear a very personal story of James' drive, from healthy to unhealthy. You'll hear about how Ashley Stewart went from death to stardom because it became a place and brand of belonging, not fashion. You'll hear how success came, not from communication, but connection. And most of all you'll hear how goodwill is the bridge to not only wild success, but abiding joy. Today James Rhee teaches at Howard University, MIT Sloan School of Management, and Duke Law School. His TED Talk and Dare to Lead interview with Brené Brown have reached millions. It was an honor to spend a couple hours with him and as you’ll hear at the end of the show we’re planning a t-shirt campaign together to advocate for the “analog life!”

In our quest for health and wellness and looking at the food we eat, how we exercise and sleep and addressing our mental health, we often miss two primary areas of consumption; what we are breathing and drinking. I just want to trust that overall what I breathe and drink is ok and my body can handle it. It can, but it’s not optimal. My body can exist on cheetos and coke as well, but it won’t be optimal. I want my physical body at it’s best to support my overall drive. To dig into these subjects I brought in an expert, Peter Spiegel. Peter worked on an organic farm. He taught meditation. He learned Chinese medicine and taught it to doctors in London. He started and sold a natural foods company.

For some reason unknown to me, narcissism is the new label slapped on anyone we feel is being selfish. And yes, I’ve had it attributed to me. And I feel it about others as well. In an article from the Center for Neurocognitive Excellence, they way a simple definition of narcissism would be an over-preoccupation with ourselves or being overly desirous of the praise or admiration of others to the extent that it negatively impacts our relationships. I’ve not met anyone who doesn’t display these tendencies from time to time. But if we really want the praise or admiration of others, but want to positively impact ourselves most, and positively impact others, we’d choose kindness. It proves to be the ultimate weapon. Drive with me a moment to explain how you can serve yourself best, from getting praise to making more money to finding more romance, by being kind.

We are born into this world and we just take it in. It’s all we can do. We’re brought up and told what to do. Sent to school to learn the basics and pass tests, then on into the world to maybe get more schooling then ultimately get a job and pay the bills. The average person pursues little learning and growth as they just churn through life. Now, that’s not you or you wouldn’t be here listening. And by being here I know you have engaged with the first level of thinking. But what about level two? And further…level three? You don’t achieve them naturally. And you don’t arrive at them and you’re done. It’s a daily, intentional effort. Drive with me and let’s get them in front of us and working for us.

At the beginning of my book, What Drives You, I define drive as a strong energy and determination to achieve a goal or satisfy a need. To be rich is to be plentiful and abundant. You could say that sums up our drive. We want to be plentiful and abundant in many things. I’ve never met anyone who says they want less money. I’ve never met anyone who says they want less personal growth, or wellness, or less good relationships. Or less purpose or time or less great adventures or experiences. But all of us have areas where we don’t feel as plentiful and abundant as we desire. Think about it, are you ok if in one year, nothing in your life changes? Nothing grows and improves? You’re good as is. For the next year. Or three years. I don’t think you’d be listening to this show if that was the case. Yes, let’s be grateful and content with today and all we have! Let’s be at peace. But part of my purpose is to grow, so absolutely, I have areas where I want to increase my riches. Thus I bring you, Robin Sharma. Every month over 30 million people follow Robin’s teachings. He has multiple #1 global bestsellers such as “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.” It was his bestseller “The 5AM Club” that brought him onto my show four years ago. Robin’s new book is THE WEALTH MONEY CAN’T BUY: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life. Robin works with a lot of billionaires and celebrities who have achieved the greatest levels of monetary wealth and status. And, who are not happy. Yet if you’re living paycheck to paycheck you may happily trade places with them. But it’s an interesting question. Would you? Would you take a million or a billion dollars if you had to trade it for riches in other areas? What good or fun would it be? But there are just as many people, if not more, who have achieved great success monetarily, because they pursued success and riches elsewhere. Who do you want to be? Find his new book THE WEALTH MONEY CAN’T BUY: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life. Now listen in for some simple and profound insight from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

This is what real leadership is, whether it’s as a parent, friend, employee or business owner.

When I’m interviewed on other people’s shows about drive, often the first topic they’ll bring up is my claim that everyone has drive. Further, that everyone has just as much drive in them as anyone else. When I explain it, everyone agrees and accepts this new revelation. However, in this space of self-improvement, I bristle at the concept of “no fear” and “no limits” and “no excuses.” This is the perception I embraced as a kid and took into my life. It was great as a pro cyclist where you push yourself past your limits. But overall in life, to disregard the truth of our weaknesses and limitations is foolish. I know. I have been a fool so many times. In my recent show with Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp, his story starts with tremendous difficulties as a kid in school. They wanted to hold him back in 2nd grade. His grades were terrible. He was labeled a troublemaker. He was embarrassed by teachers in front of his class. What I appreciate is he didn’t just justify all his issues. He accepted them and said, “Yes, I really have trouble with my attention and how my brain does and doesn’t work.” And he didn’t justify it with his ultimate success as an Ivy League professor. He just took it all scientifically and spiritually and said, “Hey, here are some tools I figured out that can help you, like they helped me.” We do have personal weaknesses. We do have limits. We do have things we will always struggle with, and they do matter. Drive with me a moment and let’s talk about how we can progress and succeed anyway. With growth, grit, and grace.

Think about all the “shoulds” in your life. All the things that come to mind that you should do, and that feeling of, “ugh”. And the feeling of, “I know I should, but…” and there is a list of things to do you don’t even have conceptualized. It just feels like a lot. And it can keep us stuck there. Idling in park and not driving…anywhere. Driven, but stuck. This happened to me the other day and I tried something that worked. Then low and behold the very next day the concept was scientifically defined for me by Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp as we talked about the message in his new book, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action. The concept is called “lowering activation.” Drive with me a moment and I’ll unpack it so you can use it too.

Take every self-help resource. Every therapy session. Every spiritual resource. From them all we are striving to program, or reprogram, our brains. In order to get us driving further and faster with less effort. Less anxiety. Less complexity. Less limits. Saying life is a mind game can be incredibly depressing, or empowering. My goal in this short message is to empower you. And me. I need this reminder every day. We all live in our own, personal matrix. We really do. Understanding, embracing, and accepting this can be life altering. My inspiration is Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp who I just had on the show. His new book, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action, is a great showcase in how life is a mind game and how we can intentionally get ourselves LIT for success. Drive with me a moment…

Most of us think we are driving through our lives with automatic shifting, like almost all cars nowadays. But in truth, our life is a stick shift and we must manually shift gears. And most of us habitually live in first to third gear. We go about living in our minds with a lot of limitations, blind spots, and ignorance. So I bring you, Jeff Karp. Jeff started life with some big struggles. Amidst some undiagnosed issues, he did so poorly in school they wanted to hold him back in second grade. Teachers literally put blinders on him and embarrassed him in front of class for not paying attention. He was labeled a troublemaker. But at age eight a teacher asked him about how he was thinking, and it opened up such a new world for Jeff that he cites it as his first spiritual experience. He went on to adjust how he learned and today is a member of the National Academy of Inventors. He is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT and a Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. Karp has dedicated his research laboratory to bioinspired medical problem solving, which he explains at the top of the show as studying phenomena in nature and replicating them through science. His lab’s technologies include a nasal spray to neutralize pathogens, a tissue glue that can seal holes inside a beating heart, targeted therapy for osteoarthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, needles that automatically stop when they reach their target, and more. His new book however is focused on you and your brain and the vast, untapped potential he says you can ignite with some tools. And you can upshift in your life. Drive further and faster with less effort. The book is called LIT, which stands for Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature’s Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action. Some would call it brain hacks but it’s not. It’s just brain ability we generally are unaware of. So join me in a conversation to learn more about how you can utilize some tools to get your brain…LIT.

You can learn more at Dr. Karp's website here: www.jeffkarp.com. You can get LIT on Amazon here: Amazon Link
