Brad Hook Podcast

I’d love you to check out my new book, ⁠Start With Values⁠ (https://values.institute/start-with-values-book/). It’s packed full of tools to help you lead a life that is aligned with your core values, reducing stress and increasing fulfillment. Connect with me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/bradhook.In This EpisodeWelcome to a deep, clarifying conversation with Dr. John Demartini—human behavior expert, researcher, prolific author, and global educator whose work spans corporate performance, financial empowerment, leadership, relationships, and social transformation (https://drdemartini.com). We explore how to govern the mind, transform polarized emotion into executive function, and turn so-called “trauma” into growth. You’ll hear unforgettable stories—from martial arts lessons in poise to real-world reframes that dissolve shame, guilt, and fear into grounded action and gratitude. 🌊🧠Big Ideas🧠 The ungoverned mind: amygdala reactivity vs. executive function—why System 1 “feels” before thinking and System 2 “reasons” before reacting.🥋 “Invitation to dance”: the martial arts metaphor for foresight—training the prefrontal cortex to anticipate, plan, and respond without panic.⚖️ Sequential vs. simultaneous contrast: see both sides at once to act with poise rather than react with impulse.🔥 “Passion” means “to suffer”: why fantasy-driven desire (pursue-only or avoid-only) creates misery—and how an inspired mission resolves it.🎯 Mastery ≠ talent: disciplined practice over decades (think concert pianists and elite athletes) builds automatic executive control.🧭 Values alignment: stop living in the shadows of outer authorities; define your hierarchy of values and build a life around what truly matters to you.🪞 Moral hypocrisies: the myth of the one-sided person; perfection is the whole—both sides, integrated and loved.❤️ Unconditionality in real life: you want to be loved when you’re kind and when you’re difficult; others want the same.🌀 Peace/war dynamics: feedback systems balance praise/criticism, calm/conflict—personally, relationally, and societally.🩹 “There is no trauma, only perception”: rigorous reframing turns post-traumatic stress into post-traumatic growth (with vivid case studies).🧩 Perception → decision → action: change the story, change the trajectory; seek the information you’re missing.🛰️ Staying grounded in an AI-accelerated world: whenever you perceive one side, find the opposite—and you’ll return to center.Connect with Dr. John DemartiniWebsite: https://drdemartini.comFree Values Determination: https://drdemartini.com/values/The Breakthrough Experience: https://drdemartini.com/breakthrough-experienceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjohndemartini/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjohndemartini/

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies your freedom to choose. In this video I teach my new S.P.A.C.E. method—Stop, Pay attention, Align, Commit, Energize—a simple, research-aligned way to bring your values into high-pressure moments. It takes under two minutes to use and can change the way you navigate stress, conflict, and decision-making.What you’ll learn:You’ll understand why the brain defaults to speed over wisdom under stress, how one breath changes the “brain you’re using,” and how to translate your core values into immediate, practical action—then refuel your system so you can do it again tomorrow.Try it today:Stop (one slow inhale, longer exhale) → Pay attention (name the thoughts & feelings) → Align (pick one top value) → Commit (one action within your control) → Energize (quick reset: breath, light, movement, or connection).Get your free Values Assessment (new)Unlock your AI-powered values profile, top 3 values, archetype, motivation style, and decision tool:👉 https://values.institute/values-app/Read the full guide:👉 https://values.institute/the-s-p-a-c-e-method-using-your-values-when-it-matters-most/Research mentioned:– Slow/controlled breathing improves anxiety and HRV: Zaccaro et al., Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (2018).– Cyclic sighing (extended exhale) boosts mood & autonomic balance vs. mindfulness: Balban et al., Cell Reports Medicine (2023).– Naming emotions reduces amygdala reactivity (affect labeling): Lieberman et al., Science (2007).– Values affirmations buffer stress & improve persistence: Cohen & Sherman, Annual Review of Psychology (2014).– Stress-is-enhancing mindset effects: Crum, Salovey & Achor, JEP: General (2013).– Evening blue light suppresses melatonin/delays circadian timing: Cajochen et al.

I’d love you to check out my new book, Start With Values — https://values.institute/start-with-values-book/. It’s packed with tools to help you live in alignment with your core values, reducing stress and increasing fulfillment. In This EpisodeFelicity Ashley — mother of three, ocean rower, cancer survivor, award-winning motivational speaker, and best-selling author of “Stronger than the Storm” — joins me to explore how fear can become fuel, why preparation builds real confidence, and what it takes to keep saying “yes” to life’s biggest challenges. From a two-month row across the Atlantic (as one of fewer than 250 women to row an ocean) to a stage-three bowel cancer diagnosis, to completing the world’s highest marathon at Everest Base Camp, Felicity’s story is a masterclass in resilience, courage, and purpose.Big Ideas🌊 Leaning into fear: why discomfort is a signal for growth and how preparation (physical + mental) turns terror into competence.🏁 Race day mindset: community, camaraderie, and the electric moment the dock slips away on an ocean row.🌪️ Storm skills: riding giant Atlantic swells, safety protocols (tethers, cabin doors, self-righting boats), and the “white-knuckle” night shifts.🛠️ Control the controllables: two-year training cycles, visualization, and normalizing the unknown.⏳ Sleep on an ocean: two-hours-on, two-hours-off (often 2:1 by day), and why motherhood was a “superpower” against sleep deprivation.🩺 Cancer in the slipstream: noticing symptoms after the row, early diagnosis, surgery + chemo, and using visibility to save lives.🏔️ Everest Base Camp Marathon: pre-acclimatization with a hypoxic tent, trail realities (downhill with 3.5 km of climb), and the generosity of the Nepalese people.🧠 Reframing setbacks: hip replacement before the Atlantic row, turning limits into leverage.🎤 Speaking with purpose: sharing hard-won lessons so others act sooner, braver, and wiser.🧭 No-regrets living: the “rocking-chair test,” saying yes, breaking goals into bite-size steps, and asking for help without shame.🌊 Next horizon: training for the Mid-Pacific row (Monterey to Hawaii), variable conditions, crew dynamics, and race requirements.Connect with Felicity AshleyWebsite: https://www.felicityashley.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/felicityashleyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/felicityashleyspeaker/Book — “Stronger than the Storm”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068489103

I’d love you to check out my new book, ⁠Start With Values⁠ (https://values.institute/start-with-values-book/). It’s packed full of tools to help you lead a life that is aligned with your core values, reducing stress and increasing fulfillment. In This EpisodeRhonda Sciortino is a “bootstrapper” in the truest sense. She founded Child Welfare Insurance to protect those caring for abused children, launched the Successful Survivors Foundation to help people mine their toughest experiences for strengths, and co-founded Prevent Child Trafficking Nevada to build a prevention model any community can replicate. She’s the author of 15 books and creator of the courses “Write Your Book in Days” and “Succeed Because of What You’ve Been Through.” In our conversation, we unpack how to discover purpose through service, transform adversity into advantage, cultivate joy (not just fleeting happiness), and practice real kindness that changes lives—starting with your own.Big Ideas🔎 Purpose begins with service — Look around, ask “Who can I help?” and let purpose emerge through repeated acts, not a single epiphany.🧭 From victim to creator — Reframe the past objectively (like a reporter), extract your “gold” (resourcefulness, empathy, grit), and bring those strengths forward.💪 Adversity advantage — Prior hard things build decision-speed and calm under pressure; it’s the difference between freezing and moving when seconds count.😊 Joy vs. happiness — Happiness is a mood that swings; joy is internal, tied to purpose and gratitude, and isn’t switched off by external events.🫶 Real kindness ≠ politeness — It’s giving without expectation. Practiced daily, it amplifies joy and changes how you show up everywhere.👨‍👩‍👧 Raising resilient kids — Resist over-rescuing; teach thinking and problem-solving. Let small challenges train nervous-system confidence.🚨 Preventing child trafficking — Know the signs, act safely, and coordinate with law enforcement; community awareness can save lives.🔥 “Succeed because of” your story — Your hardest chapters contain transferable skills that employers, partners, and communities need.🧠 Confidence = self-trust — Walk in with evidence (“here’s what I’ve overcome; here’s how I solve problems”) not empty affirmations.🌱 Gratitude as fuel — Gratitude and joy form a reinforcing loop that steadies you through inevitable setbacks.Connect with Rhonda SciortinoWebsite: https://www.rhonda.orgSuccessful Survivors Foundation: https://www.successfulsurvivors.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rhondasciortinoPrevent Child Trafficking Nevada: https://preventchildtraffickingnevada.org
