TOUGH TALKS - E107 - Creating A Safe Place To Play! with Mary Bea Porter-King
What a blessing it is to have this Angel of a woman as a dear friend and colleague and guest on the Tough Talks Podcast! Her name is Mary Bea Porter-King. Google her if you haven’t heard her name before. She is a true hero – really. That’s not even close to a euphemism. Mary Bea lettered in 4 sports at Arizona State University. Yeah, you read that right. Then she played on the LPGA Tour for 25 years. Then she co-founded the Hawaii State Junior Golf Association where she continues to preside as President. She’s the first ever pro golfer to serve on the Executive Board of The USGA. She’s also currently on the Board of The PGA of America where she runs the Youth player Development Committee. All she does is serve. JUST WAIT until you hear THE story of her "worst shot" that has resulted in profoundly affecting tens of thousands of lives – maybe more! And DEFINITELY stay for the end. I'm pretty sure we were able to touch Mary Bea's soul with a surprise gift. It was moving to say the least.

TOUGH TALKS - E106 - Startup Entrepreneurs are CRAZY! with Greg Head
According to this guy, Startup Entrepreneurs are CRAZY! In a remarkably impressive way. In this episode of Tough Talks we get to explore the inner workings of the minds of such entrepreneurs and specifically this particular one, Greg Head.   Greg is the Founder of Gregslist.com, a curated up-to-date list of local software companies that is used by thousands of founders, tech execs, investors, job seekers, and community leaders each month which is now available for tech communities in Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Austin, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Toronto.   He is also the founder of PracticalFounders.com, where he helps crazy software entrepreneurs to change the world – and do it THEIR WAY (ie, without huge VC funding)!   This is super cool because I coach SOOO many entrepreneurs in the tech industry but I’ve never interviewed someone like Greg who exists solely in that world on the mindset of attempting to create big things that, as he says, “usually don’t work!”   More about Greg:   Website: https://practicalfounder.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregheadaz/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/greghead Greg’s List: https://gregslist.com/  The Book: The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz   The Book: Lost and Founder by Rand Fishkin   Link to the episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-startup-entrepreneurs-are-crazy-with-greg-head/  ---  If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.  Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.  ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E105 - Mental Toughness Mantras with Chris Dorris
What's the point of Mental Toughness Training? Well, that's simple (and profound). We do the inner world work so that we are able to respond to all of life rapidly with grace, mastery, creativity, and enthusiasm. Mental Toughness Training involves strengthening our "response-ability." In other words, our ability to respond powerfully to all circumstances so that not only do we eliminate the unnecessary suffering we create for ourselves, but rather we create excellence faster and with less effort!   One of the most powerful ways to accomplish all of this is with the use of Mental Toughness Mantras - brief phrases that contain volumes of wisdom and that help us to elevate our states and create habitual, high-grade responses to ALL of life.   In this episode of Tough Talks: Conversations on Mental Toughness, I take you through three of the most powerful Mental Toughness Mantras that I rely upon in my coaching, speaking, and my very own training.   Link to the episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-mental-toughness-mantras-with-chris-dorris/  ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E104 - Adversity is guaranteed, attitude is a choice! with John Kriesel
On December 2, 2006, after being in an 8 day medically induced coma, he woke up to discover he'd lost two comrades and both of his legs in an IED explosion serving in Iraq.   Here's his response upon this discovery:  "None of this matters. I'm alive. And I'm thankful for that. There's one path - and that's forward."   His name is Retired Staff Sergeant John Kriesel, and let's talk about creating excellence from tragedy!   He is a Purple Heart recipient, a best-selling author, an international Keynote Speaker, and one funny Mo Fo! (He attributes much of his ability to respond so masterfully to his tragedy to the power of humor).   And wait 'til you see what happens about 60% of the way through the interview!!! It's never happened before in any of my Tough Talks episodes. EPIC!!!   More about John:   Website: https://www.johnmkriesel.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkriesel/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnkriesel/  Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/johnkriesel  ---   Link to the episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-adversity-is-guaranteed-attitude-is-a-choice-with-john-kriesel/ ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.  Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E103 - "Beer-Boarding" in the Scrapple Belt with Dogfish Head Sam Calagione
Inherent within your passions are the mechanics for stratospheric success.   Sam Calagione, founder and brewer at Dogfish Head Brewery, is proof of that. Sam trusted his passion for crafting what he refers to as “off-centered” beers and 26 years later he has literally created a food and beverage (and lodging) dynasty! And he’s having a boatload of fun doing it.  He is meticulous about a lot of things. The level of creativity he puts into his creations is astounding. He travels the planet to meet people and discover ingredients that have never before been used or combined, to create some of the most unusual brews in history.   He uses that same level of meticulousness in creating his remarkable culture. I’ve experienced it firsthand. It’s epic. The quality of customer service is remarkable. The lightness of being is intoxicating – even before your first sip!   I define success as having your life on your terms. We have a lot to learn from Sam about this!     More about Sam:   Website: https://www.dogfish.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dogfishheadbeer/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dogfish-head-craft-brewery/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dogfishhead/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/dogfishbeer  Link to the episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-beer-boarding-in-the-scrapple-belt-with-dogfish-head-sam-calagione/  ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E101 - We Are All Connected By Story with David Richman
“Nobody is watching and nobody cares.”   Do you feel inspired?   Wait until our guest today explains that. You’ll feel inspired then.   David Richman was an overweight, chain-smoking, homeless kid at the age of 18. He got a job at a Vegas fast food joint, worked 3 jobs at a time to work his way up the ladder, never went to college, wanted to start his own company, met with a room full of Angel Investors to try to get seed money for it, was immediately asked, “Where’d you get your MBA?” Wait till you hear his damn response!!!   He went on to run a $120M/yr revenue company and is now an award-winning author (he facilitates writing workshops, btw), speaker, and Endurance Athlete. And he’s a remarkably generous philanthropist.   And a killer storyteller! And does he have stories!!!      More about David:   Website: www.cycleoflives.org  Personal FB: david.richman.94  Business FB: cycleoflives  Instagram: davidrichman_cycleoflives   ---    If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.  ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E100 - Two-gether on TWOsday - A Frank Convo with Iyanla Vanzant
IYANLA!!! You heard it! Yep. That’s who our guest is for the 100th episode of The Tough Talks Podcast!!!   How cool is that?! The infamous, and brilliant – and fricking hysterical – Iyanla Vanzant discusses her own unique interpretation of what Mental Toughness and Mental Toughness Training even is. And it’s profound – as you might expect coming from her.   She teaches us how the mind is like a puppy, and if it isn’t trained…HA! NO WAY am I spoiling that moment. I’ll leave it at this, when she finished that analogy and told a story about it, I honestly almost fainted laughing. My face has never been so red in an episode! Hysterical and poignant.   Iyanla shares with us that we are all conditioned to forget how important we are, our divine nature, and how inter-connected we all are. She teaches us that the real work that we need to do in order to remember all of that is about UN-learning. And if we will permit ourselves to experience some stillness each day, we will reconnect to the source and struggle far less.   I am so thrilled to bring to you, for our 100th episode of Tough Talks, the magnificent Iyanla Vanzant!   More about Iyanla:   Website: https://iyanla.com  Facebook Personal Profile: https://www.facebook.com/DrIyanlaVanzant/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iyanlavanzant/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/iyanlavanzant Additional  Link: https://MasterPeaceBodyTherapy.com  Watch the full episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-two-gether-on-twosday-a-frank-convo-with-iyanla-vanzant/  ----  If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E098 - Where Are You On Your Hero's Journey with Christian LeFer
Where are you on your Hero's Journey? Because you're on one. According to my guest on this episode of Tough Talks, everyone is on their own Hero's Journey.  His name is Christian LeFer and he helps people answer this question for themselves and then he helps them start Nonprofits! (If they want to.)   He's got an awesome definition of Mental Toughness and it isn't conventional. It even includes the word, "supple."   In this conversation, Christian and I dig deep into how we are BEING in life to help clarify if what we're DOING is in alignment.  And he's a fellow Jersey Boy, so he's automatically badass.     More about Christian:   Website: https://instantnonprofit.com  Personal FB: https://facebook.com/boundlessfuture  Business LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/instantnonprofit  Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianlefer  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/instantnonprofit/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/instantnonproft  YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/user/instantnonprofit -----   Link to the Episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-where-are-you-on-your-heros-journey-with-christian-lefer/  ----   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E097 - Living Life Well with Chronic Illness with Dr. Kevin Payne
What does it feel like to jump out of a plane 370 times in one year - when you can't feel your legs below the knees because you have MS?   How does someone with Multiple Sclerosis who has had zero pain-free days in over 2 decades, and takes absolutely no pain meds, still live a profoundly full and successful life?   Our guest, Dr. Kevin Payne, answers those and a few other monumental questions in this episode of The Tough Talks Podcast.   Dr. Payne informs us that 2/3 of our health outcomes aren't based on medical variables but rather on cognitive, behavioral, social, and environmental ones. And we open up a couple of those buckets to bring you some golden nuggets.   If you or someone you love suffers from a chronic illness, this is a must-see/listen! And even if you don't have a chronic illness, Kevin's wisdom bomb will serve you profoundly as well.   More about Dr. Kevin:   Website: https://yourlifelivedwell.co  Personal FB: https://www.facebook.com/drkjpayne Business  FB: https://www.facebook.com/YourLLWell/  Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkjpayne/  Business LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourllwell/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/YourLLWell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourllwell/  ---   Link to the episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-living-life-well-with-chronic-illness-with-dr-kevin-payne/  ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - 096 - Creating Safety (and Success) with The Tribe Culture with Garry Ridge
"If we're out on the ocean in rough seas and you're leaning over the rail getting seasick and I come over to you and put my arm around you and say, 'I'm so sorry you're feeling so crappy' - that's sympathy. If I start puking with you, THAT'S empathy!" That was what the CEO of The WD-40 Company, Garry Ridge, said in response to my question, "How do you define empathy?"   Garry relies heavily upon empathy as one of the most powerful skills that great leaders use to create a work environment characterized by emotional safety. And he refers to his leaders as coaches. In fact, he refers to ALL of his employees as coaches.   The employees at The WD-40 Company aren't a "team" - they're a TRIBE. Garry's leadership approach is based upon his deep research on Tribal cultures and the 7 characteristics that show up in any tribal group you can name. And that approach works! The company is killing it and the employees are pretty pumped to be there. In fact, 99% of employees say that they love to tell people that they work for WD-40 Company.   The company doesn't sell oil in a can. That's boring. They don't stop squeaking. That's boring. They create positive, lasting memories. That's amazing. And I can attest to that. I share my own amazing WD-40 memory at the end of the interview.   If at all possible, be ready to take notes. Garry drops a lot of wisdom here.   More about Garry:   Website: https://thelearningmoment.net/  Personal LinkedIn: Https://www.linkedin.com/in/garryridge Company  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wd-40-company  Twitter: https://twitter.com/learningmoment  https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-creating-safety-and-success-with-the-tribe-culture-with-garry-ridge/ ---  If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

And we're gonna ask him that right out of the chute.    His name is Phil Gallagher, CEO of Avnet, Inc.

TOUGH TALKS - E093 - The New Irrelevance of Intelligence with Dr. Alan D. Thompson
So now that your career is going to be totally obsolete soon, what are your plans? You do realize that Artificial Intelligence is completely disrupting life as we know it, right? And that it's impossible to predict the magnitude of that disruptiveness? How do you plan to survive? Oh, wait, that may be an irrelevant question as well. In fact, I'm hoping that I'll be out of a job. I'm hoping that AI will make this whole "Mental Toughness" business a thing of the past. AI will make life such that Mental Toughness isn't even needed because our needs are all met and we are free to experience all the magic that life has to offer. At least that's one way to envision what's right around the corner (or already here) with Artificial Intelligence. And our guest today, Dr. Alan D. Thompson, AI Expert, has some truly mind-blowing information to share with us about the impending effects of AI, and how he sees it illogical to assume that AI could bring disaster. But who knows? What we can count on is that life is about to change. In ways that we aren't even capable of imagining yet.

Wait until you hear this guy read you the first chapter of his new book, Bet On You!!! Drugs, booze, gambling, and ladies of the night. And that wasn't even close to his rock bottom. Our remarkable guest today, Laban Ditchburn, was in the throes of darkness for a very long time. Once he decided to heal his body, he also healed his mind and soul and has since committed to inspiring people to show up BIG in their lives. Laban refers to his work sometimes as teaching people to grow a pair - of Dino-Balls. Yes. It means what you think it does. Laban lives courageously, without concern about whether or not folks take offense to him, committed only to serving them hugely by unapologetically taking complete ownership of your innate excellence. https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-dino-balls-with-laban-ditchburn/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.

TOUGH TALKS - E090 - Check Your Alignment and Be Relevant! with Ian Koniak
Do you know what “commission breath” is? It’s a metaphor for a sales rep who’s so hungry for a deal, they will say or do anything just to get it. They crave commission so badly that prospects smell it on their breath a mile away. And it’s repulsive. And popular.   Our guest today, Ian Koniak, is an established badass in the world of Enterprise Sales. He was the #1 Strategic Account Executive in the Enterprise Select Division of Salesforce.com. That’s a big deal. And the product of a lot of big deals.   In our conversation, Ian takes us through the shifts he made from being OK (and addicted to several substances and vices) to being The Best by getting ALL IN and making the DECISION to get “In Alignment” and to prioritizing other’s success over his own.   More about Ian:   Website: https://www.iankoniak.com  LinkedIn Personal Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iankoniak/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iankoniak  Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/gPczOP  YouTube: www.youtube.com/iankoniak  Link to Episode: https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-check-your-alignment-and-be-relevant-with-ian-koniak/  ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   ---  https://christopherdorris.com/lists --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mental-toughness-podcasts/message

TOUGH TALKS - E089 - Getting In The Zone In Sport And Life with Dr. Debbie Crews
Why did Alan Alda always jump around all over the place before going onto the set to record a scene for Mash?   What is "The Yips" and can you get "Life Yips"?   Why do some of us choke when it comes time to shine and some of us don't?   Mental Toughness or Mental Integrity?   The Zone or Brain Synchronicity?   These are some of the fascinating questions and distinctions that our esteemed (Legendary!) Sport Psychology Consultant and Entrepreneur, Dr. Debbie Crews, adresses in our latest episode of Tough Talks.   Dr. Crews has appeared on countless TV shows including NBC Dateline, The Golf Channel and Scientific American Frontier with Alan Alda discussing all things mental about golf and life.   Debbie is a great example of how excellent we can become at our craft when we stay with it and stay committed to constantly sharpening our saw.  She is brilliant beyond description and is as gracious and humble as they get.
