Confidence Hack #47: It takes 17 seconds for your body to overrule your mind! How do I know this?  Well, when I was training NBA players for 12+ years, I would always bring a stopwatch with me to the workouts.

What Tupac can share with us today is in his lyrics ‘Though I walk through.’ Even though we face all of the scariest and nastiest things around us, we must walk through adversity, not run. Well, why not get out as quickly as you can? Be...

Confidence Hack #44: Calling God into our situations leads to TRUE manifestation and everlasting joy. SO MANY internet “gurus’ have the secret formula to life manifestation. It’s big business!

In Hack #44, I want to show you the actual research studies that show differ...

Confidence Hack #40: The masses are the as...es, and while sheep are great, you don’t want to be one! When everyone is telling you that you have to invest in this, or everyone is doing this thing over here. Well, I can CONFIDENTLY say, RUN THE OTHER WAY! In today’s episode, I share the idea I’ve built my career on. All around, people were zombie-walking in the same direction. I saw this early on b...

Confidence Hack #39: Doing the difficult thing activates a part of your brain that has MAJOR benefits... In today’s episode, I share the story of Nirmal Purja. Nirmal Purja claimed the 14 highest peaks in the world in 7 months. The record he broke was 7 years... Just picture that for a second. He completed something that so few people have done you can count them on your hands in a time that peopl...

Confidence Hack #38: Nothing beats that feeling you get from a pair of brand-new shoes... A smile engulfed the child’s face, an emotion that had appeared foreign to the poverty-stricken kids of Argentina. Yet, there it was. A smile that stopped time in its tracks and changed more than just the young boy’s life. It also changed the life of Blake Mycoskie. Have you ever wondered why women have a clo...

Today’s episode is about legacy a...

You are either currently in a storm right now, or a storm is on the horizon. But don’t worry. Eve...

Confidence Hack #34: can incompetence really be an asset? Sounds very contradicting, right? How can the ‘inability to do something successfully, ineptitude’ derive confidence? Simple. Embrace incompetence with self-awareness. When we ‘learn’ something, that doesn’t mean it equates to ‘knowledge.’ Knowledge is defined as facts, information, and skills acquired. Learning is defined as the actual acq...

Confidence Hack #33: your flaws are what make you perfect, just like the greatest people in history! Picture this, the Bible is the greatest selling book of all time. In the Bible are stories of men who have been heralded as some of the greatest in history. Yet apart from Jesus, the men in these stories were tremendously flawed. David, Solomon, Moses, Peter, all had flaws that you and I would thin...

Confidence Hack #32: this is the only math equation you will ever need to know... 1% more each day for 365 days is 37.8 times more than what you started with! How insane is that?! This means it doesn’t have to all get done in a day, a week, or a month. Just 1% more a day. That’s like doing one extra push-up each day. The amount of strength you’ll build in a year is incredible! So, as you’re listen...

Confidence Hack #31: Adversity isn’t a zip code where you live. It’s just an event. What I mean to say is we don’t live on Adversity Street. Our whole lives aren’t spent only in adversity! What we have gone through is behind us, and what we choose to do with what’s ahead of us is in our control. Today, I go over the story of Bethany Hamilton. Bethany was a budding surfing star at just 13 years old...

Confidence Hack #29: trusting your intuition can lead to history-defining moments... Intuition. You’ve probably asked yourself, “Why didn’t I follow my intuition on that?” Or, “Man, why didn’t I trust my gut?” Before you say, “Oh David, intuition is a bunch of mumbo jumbo...” consider this. Several studies have shown that intuition is real. The brain uses past experiences and environmental cues to...

Confidence Hack #28: Gaining confidence through the understanding that it may take LONGER than 10 years to be a success... That’s the old saying, right? “It takes 10 years to be an overnight success.” WRONG! It takes MORE! You can’t be an expert in your field until you’re an expert in your field. If you commit 10 dedicated years to becoming the best at whatever it may be, you can pick anything, I...

Confidence Hack #27: The reason the mayor painted Tirana, Alania, with color and why it has such a PROFOUND effect on our confidence. Edi Rama was not a normal mayor.

So that’s what he did. He gathered a group of paintin...

Confidence Hack #26: Confidence through randomness and understanding that in addition to daily confident steps, the home run swings are worthwhile! I’ll be the first person to say that you must take small daily steps to accomplish your goals. I wrote a book on it! Hitting the single every day is KEY to playing the game. But taking that occasional MONSTER SWING for it all can lead to truly incredib...

Confidence Hack #25: Why me versus why not me...are the ONLY questions that matter for redefining our confident mentalities. There are two types of people. People who ask, “Why me?” And people who ask, “Why NOT me?” And which one you are makes all the difference. People who ask the former are constantly self-sabotaging themselves into believing nothing will ever happen to them. They think they are...
