Summary

Have you ever let fear stop you from doing something that you really wanted to do? Fear of rejection? Fear of failure? Fear of what other people might think? Well, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Fear is often used as a tactic to control people. The media at large today, for example, utilizes fear to direct people’s beliefs and opinions about the world. Many of them sensationalized, and blatantly not true on many levels. But we accept them anyway, because fear is a very primal thing we’re driven by. Fear can be used to control others, but the most unsuspecting and pervasive use of fear, is the fear we use to control ourselves. Fear is a valuable evolutionary feedback system that helps to keep us safe. The problem with fear, however, is that it has not evolved with the times. Today we have literally millions more data inputs to be fearful about than our ancestors had. The sheer amount of things we have to be worried about can be overwhelming. Not to mention when the big choices come up in life (what career to choose, who to partner with, who to marry, whether or not to name your kid a direction — North West is super original, right?), stack it all together, and it can all be a bit much. The big point to get is that fear is going to be a normal part of your daily life, and that’s okay! Our incredible guest today is going to share with you how to work with that fear, and accomplish some of the important things that you were born to do. I didn’t choose the words “born to do” lightly. Whether you believe in destiny or not, you most definitely have a unique path in life that no one will ever replicate. You also have unique gifts that only you possess. Uncovering what your gifts are can be life-transforming to say the least. And in this episode, we’re going to deconstruct how to discover your innate gifts too. It’s a big promise, but there are few people on the planet who know how to address these things like today’s guest CJ Quinney can. When you hear his story, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The tips, tools, and insights from this episode will be valuable to you for a lifetime. So, click play, listen in, and let’s take things to another level! In this episode you'll discover: Why your choice of mayo could down-regulate our friendship. The surprising benefits of chia seeds. Why CJ got a Masters degree and then proceeded to quit his job (even though he didn’t have any money). How a message can be transcendent and impact people of different paths. One of the initial steps CJ and team took in taking their content from relative obscurity to being an international brand reaching millions EACH DAY. How to endure difficult circumstances and stay focused on your goal. Why consistency is ridiculously underrated. Why there’s two types of people when it comes to fear. Why success is always relative (this is huge!). How to find out what your unique gift is. Why excellence attracts excellence. What the catalyst was behind CJ’s 100-pound weight loss. How developing character is the key to a rich life. Items mentioned in this episode include: Thrive Market Exclusive - 25% off your entire 1st order + free shipping!

0:12.0	Welcome to The Model Health Show.
0:13.2	This is Fitness and Nutrition Expert, Sean Stevenson, and I'm so grateful for you tuning in
0:16.6	with me today. So this week has been pretty interesting. I actually got invited to speak
0:21.7	at my son's school, and it's always interesting to talk to high school students, right?
0:27.1	It's supposed to perpetually awkward, right?
0:29.9	Prepetually, they got to figure it out.
0:32.6	So it's always a really good experience. But funny enough, my son was the one who
0:37.1	talked to his teachers and they started following me and kind of made it all happen.
0:41.4	And what's so really interesting about it is that this is the school I went to for high school.
0:46.0	This is one of my first few times, like actually back in the building, besides like going to
0:49.6	a sporting event or something of that nature. Because when I was out, I was out. I was done.
0:55.5	And I had a really interesting story and experience there. I actually, a lot of people don't
0:59.9	know this, and I've talked about it on the show, but I graduated in three years of high school,
1:04.1	but not by pure, sheer intellectual prowess. It was because I got kicked out my entire junior year
1:11.6	for fighting. At the end of the talk, which I come back to, but one of the students asked me,
1:17.3	so what was the thing you liked the least about this school? And I was like, man, that's an interesting
1:23.2	question. He's looking for his little thing to just be like, yeah, I don't like that either.
1:28.3	And I'd said it's like the authoritarian construct of the school, but here's the thing that you
1:33.8	have to understand. We need structure. We need authority, especially when we're young. We need
1:38.7	guidance. But I put myself in the position where I was in a place where that authority could kick
