Friday Jul 29, 2016
Friday Jul 29, 2016
The brain loves "tomorrow", "later" or "never." It
constantly imagines itself far into some vague but wonderful
future. Unless you learn to masterfully guide your brain, it
doesn't do much to make that future a reality.
In this episode of UPWIRE, we'll look at a simple mechanism
called WEEKLIES which can fuel accelerated growth for you and your
team.

negative small thing in life, consuming vast amounts of time and
energy.
In this episode of UPWIRE, we'll learn how we can quickly hack
human nature and aim our brains toward growth. We can reclaim
our time, energy and passion by learning to sweat the right small
stuff and ditch the rest!

UPWIRE #173 - Streamline
Friday Jul 01, 2016

Your brain is the biggest barrier between where you are and
where you want to be. It easily becomes overloaded with
useless distractions, negative emotions and excess "baggage."
In this episode of UPWIRE, we'll learn to recognize when the
brain is creating its own gridlock, and how we can move past and
transcend this barrier using a technique called streamlining.

Monday Jun 20, 2016
Monday Jun 20, 2016
The brain always thinks there's a big puzzle somewhere which
makes sense of everything--if only it could find all the
pieces. Waiting to see and understand all the pieces is what keeps
many of us from pursuing and achieving our top goals.
In this episode of UPWIRE, we'll look at how we can accelerate
our growth by helping our brain see how today's puzzle pieces
connect to our most amazing future.

UPWIRE #171 - Out Of The Blur
Friday Jun 03, 2016
Friday Jun 03, 2016
Left to its own devices, the brain loves to get lost in the
blur. The brain mistakes motion for work that actually
matters, confusing hyper-activity with meaningful progress.
In this episode of UPWIRE, we'll look at how exceptional leaders
and teams work around this trap and move out of the blur.
