WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRAIN YOUR MIND

Tuesday, November 19, 2019 by Alex Wood

THE MOST OPTIMAL STATE FOR HUMANS

Friday, June 14, 2019 by Dr. Mike Gervais
Have you ever watched an Olympian experience her childhood dream by effortlessly breaking her personal record? Or an astronaut flawlessly orchestrate a rocket launch? Or a president deliver a country-altering State of the Union address? Their focus, ease and courage are impressive. There’s a name for that type of state of mind — Flow state.

WHAT IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET?

Monday, February 25, 2019 by Dr. Mike Gervais
How do we achieve more? Live with passion and purpose? Be our authentic selves and find our best?  That’s been my life effort – to study (and hopefully inform) both science and applied innovations of how people flourish; living life to its fullest.   There is no singular path, no one right way, no hacks, secrets

PROJECT RECONNECT: CATALINA CHANNEL, EPISODE 3

Thursday, December 20, 2018 by Alex Wood
Project Reconnect was designed to reconnect to the purpose-driven and nature-connected life that many of our ancestors exceptionally lived.  So I set out to stand-up paddle across the Catalina Channel (~30 nautical miles) to reconnect to mother nature, and to raise money for a non-profit that is working on ridding the ocean of plastics.

OLYMPIAN INSIGHTS: STRATEGIES FOR HANDLING UNCERTAINTY AND CHANGE

Tuesday, December 11, 2018 by Alex Wood

STEPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN The day was finally here for me to attempt to cross the Catalina channel (a 26+ mile stretch of open water from Catalina Island to Redondo Beach, California).  Depending on currents and ocean conditions, I was anticipating it to take 6-8 hours of paddling for me to successfully cross the channel.

PROJECT RECONNECT: CATALINA CHANNEL, EPISODE 1

WHAT IS PROJECT RECONNECT? Most of us have a deep desire to live a life of purpose and meaning, and to understand what we are capable of. Each of which is incredibly challenging and at times so overwhelming that we find ourselves slipping into the daily rut of to-dos rather than designing a life to explore
