Summary
Wylie McGraw is not your typical coach, he's a "Performance Accelerator", who's worked with Fortune 500 CEOs, best-selling authors, athletes, and some of the biggest names in the world in order to help them 10x the things they're capable of.
Wylie's learned the secrets behind getting the most out of ourselves, and in this wide-ranging, inspirational, motivational conversation, Wylie and I unpack what it really means to be successful, how to make sure you're getting the right wisdom from the right coach, and how harnessing our emotions can help us to unleash the leader within ourselves!
Enjoy!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When we set our goals so as to align with the goals of others, we're denying our true potential. The things we wish to truly achieve in life are often only known to us personally. The journey to finding those goals is the first step in self-development.
- Every situation has the potential to produce a positive or negative outcome. It's how we choose to channel our emotions at the time that makes the difference.
- Everyone is capable of a lot more than they often give themselves credit for, but we don't all necessarily need to follow the accepted wisdom - the one-size-fits-all approach that is often preached by self-styled gurus, who give the same advice to rooms full of people. Guidance should be personalised.
- Success comes in many different forms, but we should not look at those with wealth or fame and assume that that form of success is right for us.
- Spirituality does play a part in who we are, but it’s not necessarily a religious following. Rather, it is finding the perfect alignment of our personal energies that defines us.
BEST MOMENTS
'I was feeling like I wasn't getting to be the guy I wanted to be'
'We swing between different worlds within us, and we have to understand that life is full of different scenarios'
'Success is subjective, and success is ever-changing'
'Start valuing how well someone is living their life first and foremost'

| 0:00.0 | Well, this episode certainly didn't disappoint. I am joined by the one and only Wiley McGraw. |
| 0:07.5 | Now, Wiley is a former state athlete, but wait for it because this is a first on the |
| 0:13.2 | animation podcast. He was also a competitive bull rider. That is just absolutely insane. |
| 0:21.3 | He's a three tour combat veteran and now he is a radical performance acceleration coach. |
| 0:27.6 | He literally works with the top athletes in the US. He works with CEOs at a ridiculously high level. |
| 0:35.0 | He works with celebrities. He's just such an incredible guy with such an incredible story. |
| 0:41.7 | Now, this is about so much more than mindset. He talks strategy, there's inspiration, |
| 0:48.6 | there's motivation, there's just so much to unpack. I'm not going to say any more because the |
| 0:54.4 | episode really does speak for itself. Make sure you're sitting down, grab a note pad and |
| 0:59.6 | pen because this one's going to be off the charts. Enjoy. |

| 1:15.3 | that is actually 3 AM at your time. So thank you so much for getting up early to do this. |
| 1:21.6 | Absolutely. Let's get a little bit more high performance in that early start of the day, right? |
| 1:26.2 | Absolutely. So let's start with your name Wiley because I'm a McKay and I have spent my entire |
| 1:34.1 | life correcting people who pronounce my name McKay and you must experience that as well. |
| 1:39.5 | Oh, constantly. It's a willy, willy, everything that you can you can think of under the sun. |
| 1:44.5 | Yes, Wiley's the name. Do you correct people? |
| 1:48.3 | I think when I feel like it, it needs it. I sometimes, you know, if it's a situational, the moment |
| 1:54.5 | where I barely met someone and I'm going to see them for a few seconds, I kind of let it go and |
| 1:58.0 | just walk away. But if I'm interacted with people, I want them to know what my name is. Yeah, |
