Summary

Bob Proctor drops by to discuss his new book, The Art of Living, on the debut episode of The Sessions. Bob reveals how he went from a unhappy high school dropout, over his head in debt, to one of the world's most renowned success coaches and speakers. Learn Bob's best strategies for shifting your mindset to have anything you want.

Here's what we talked about:

4:52 - Bob’s experience filming The Secret and how he almost missed the chance to be a part of it!

10:17 - The backstory of Bob’s growing up with a single mom in Canada as a “lost, mixed-up guy” and exactly where he thinks he got off track.

16:09 - The man (and book) that would change his life forever.

23:40 - The major mindset shift Bob made that got him from $6,000 in debt to earning $175,000 just a year later, and more than a million within five years.

32:22 - The one thing Bob always did to create his success—even though he was “never smart.”

34:38 - A new way to think about how the mind works and why who you are so much more than your name, your body, or your genetics.

41:08 - Where we get our programming, and why changing that programming is the only way to change our behavior and get the things we really want.

47:45 - The unseen battle between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind that could be the reason why you probably won’t stick to your New Year’s resolution.

54:18 - What to do when your friends and family don’t support you or your goals, and why it’s so hard to make a change.

57:14 - How Bob’s work has impacted his personal life, and how he has managed to stay present for his wife and kids over 55+ years of business travel.

0:00.0	It's session 001 with special guest Bob Proctor. Here's what's coming up. I was earning over a million dollars, and I'm asking myself, what in hell happen? Because I had been raised to believe probably the same as you shot, that if you're going to earn a lot of money, you've got to be really smart. Well, I knew I wasn't that smart, but I was earning a lot of money. Didn't matter where you come from, what your culture is, what your background is, we're all the same.
0:23.9	There's only two sources of reference you can go to, science and theology,
0:27.3	and they both indicate that we all have infinite potential.
0:30.9	You don't have to be that smart.
0:33.0	You've got to surround yourself with real smart people.
0:36.7	Here we go.
0:47.6	Music You've got to surround yourself with real smart people. Here we go. Yo, what's up, y'all?
0:49.3	We are back.
0:51.0	A brand new journey begins today right now with the sessions with Sean Croxton. That is me.
0:57.0	Thanks so much for tuning in. If this is your first time listening to this podcast and you're going,
1:02.0	wait, it's episode number one. How can you say we're back? It's the first episode. Well, I had another
1:06.8	podcast for seven years called Underground Wellness Radio, where I interviewed primarily health
1:12.2	experts. And at some point, I just got that call to adventure. You know, that little whisper
1:17.6	inside my head was saying, it's time to do something new. And this is it with this podcast.
1:23.5	And I'm so excited because, you know, I'm going to still interview health experts, but we're
1:27.4	going to focus primarily on mindset and personal development and your finances and your relationships.
1:33.2	It's going to be a whole lot of fun. I'm just so pumped up right now. If you want to listen to the Underground Wellness Radio podcast, all those episodes are over on iTunes. Just look up Underground Wellness Radio.
1:43.6	You can go to Underground Wellness.com as well. There's 300-something episodes over there. Just really good interviews. And so, yeah, check those out. Anytime you want. Had some time off. Took two months off. And gosh, it was so relaxing. I'm so fresh right now. It started off a little bit funky. It's a trip. Like when you work really hard for so long and then you stop for a while, like you realize how much stuff that you haven't really thought about and haven't addressed and all this stuff. So it started off a little bit bumpy. But then I took off and went on a little adventure. I had never traveled
2:19.0	before, so I went to London for a few days and walked around and saw all the sites. It was like
2:24.9	getting dropped in a history book. It was so cool. Then I went to Rome, and man, that place was
2:29.6	awesome. Saw all the sites there, just walked around so much. It was just just, they say when you go traveling that you come back a different person.
2:38.2	And that is so real.
