Summary

In this podcast episode, Kyle welcomes David Nurse, a renowned mental coach who has worked with elite athletes, particularly in the NBA. David talks about his experiences and the track record that sets him apart in the realm of life and mental coaching. The conversation transitions to various topics, including the importance of managing negative self-talk, and how it impacts both athletic performance and daily life. David shares insights into finding simplicity on the far side of complexity, explaining that top performers often achieve mastery by returning to basics and practicing with intention. The two discuss the concept of flow state and its critical role in peak performance. David dives into a scientific study he conducted to train individuals to enter flow state through a series of techniques including meta-visualization, autogenic mind-muscle connection, bilateral tapping, cross crawl disorganization, and neuro-connecting. The discussion also covers the significance of having a healthy relationship with failure and the importance of pursuing passions with purpose. The episode concludes with the promise of David’s upcoming book, which will offer more insights into achieving flow state and peak performance.

0:00.0	Welcome to today's podcast. We have the return of my good buddy, David Nurse. I'm so stoked to have
0:05.2	David on this podcast. David is, you know, in a unique position. He's young, he's handsome. He lives in
0:11.4	L.A. He's moving here to Austin. That's not anything crazy. But, you know, I've come across a lot of
0:16.5	life coaches, a lot of mental coaches, and very few of them have the pedigree or the track
0:23.1	record. David does. David's worked with the very best in the world. He's buddies with some of the
0:27.2	greatest coaches of all times. He's worked in the NBA directly on teams and now works with a lot
0:32.0	of the NBA's best players. So I'll let him say that for himself, but I just want to say he's fantastic he's a great human he
0:39.5	knows a lot I would be honored if my son was to work with him at a certain point in sports and I would
0:44.5	have I wished to God I had David when I was fighting because man I was just a head case always thinking
0:50.5	of shit overthinking of things and um you, it comes at a detriment to us.

1:01.6	that negative mind, that negative self-talk can interfere with all sorts of shit.
1:06.0	It can make challenging conversations with your wife even more challenging, right?
1:10.3	If inside your head,
1:11.5	there's another voice, just talking shit to you. It can make disciplining your kids or having,
1:16.6	you know, hard talks with your kids about certain things if that negative mind is in your
1:20.0	head, just talking smack nonstop. And so these are things that people deal with on a regular
1:26.4	basis, whether you're an athlete or not.
1:28.1	So I love to having David on.
1:30.1	He's got a beautiful process and he's into some really cool stuff.
1:33.7	I just got a chance to try some new protein gummies that he's into with our buddy Terro has been on the podcast.
1:38.8	Terro, of course, the founder of Four Sigmaic Mushrooms.
