Subscribe To The Podcast

On today’s episode, Brian Bogert is joining us. Brian is a performance and business coach that helps people create goals without limits. These are goals that stretch your identity of who you are and cause you to see things differently, think differently, act differently, and become a totally new version of yourself. We talk about Brian’s journey to becoming a coach and leader who supports people in this transformation and how he shares his own very memorable, very powerful story. We also get to dig into some of the pros and cons of having a story that is very intense, extreme, or memorable. It can also have some disadvantages. We get to talk about that with Brian which is going to be a very unique take on presentation skills.

Brian Bogert is a human behavior and performance coach who teaches clients to leverage self-awareness and intentionality to become the most authentic version of themselves: who they already are. Brian helps executives, entrepreneurs, athletes, and growth-minded individuals learn this transformative approach that cultivates perspective, motivation, and direction to help them align their life with their true purpose and defy their own expectations. He teaches not just to accept change, but to embrace pain in order to avoid suffering.

We discuss:

[02:18] Brian shares his defining moment when he was hit by a truck as a child.
[04:36] We all have unique stories. What is important is that we pause and learn the lessons we can extract from those stories and then become intentional to how we apply them in our lives.
[04:58] He learned to not get stuck by whatever has happened to him, but instead get moved by what he can do with it.
[05:41] Embrace pain to avoid suffering. When done correctly that is where we gain freedom.
[08:07] We have to be very intentional with how we communicate our story and communicate it in a way that can be relatable by the lessons you can extract from the experience.
[12:20] The real value is setting a goal that is so ambitious that it forces you to think in a totally new way.
[13:20] His goal is big enough, scary enough, and it is meaningful enough in terms of what that impact could look like, that he is going to commit more of himself.
[15:25] When setting big goals, always begin with the end in mind. If we get clarity on who we are and the things we want to accomplish, then teasing these things out becomes a little easier.
[17:23] No limits goals don’t replace the incremental or smaller goals that backfill the process. You have to fill in the gaps and create the mechanism, strategies, tactics, and workflow to be able to accomplish those big things.
[18:36] Are we really targeting what we want if there were no limitations on time, energy, money, and resources?
[21:23] A lot of work they do is helping people realize that what they once did that was impossible is possible.
[23:19] It is important that we give context and intentionality not generalized terms as we are setting these types of goals.
[25:32] The more that we get people to sit in their thoughts and their feelings, the more clear they become on who they are.
[26:56] Most people think that they are stuck not getting what they want in their life and feeling like they can’t accomplish their goals because they have the wrong strategies and tactics in their life.
[27:24] What actually keeps people stuck and accomplishing their goals is typically a combination of their emotional triggers, behavioral patterns, and environmental conditioning.
[27:52] Identify the pains we tend to avoid and learn to embrace them.
[29:58] We all must choose our pain or our suffering will choose us.
[32:41] There is nobody that is going to show up to save you. Nobody is going to be your hero. The only person that can do that is you.
[33:37] Now is the time to get influence and control back towards your destiny. You can do it and you are worthy. Take the first.
