On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about their conclusion of a chapter, and taking a hiatus from the podcast, after a year of learning, unlocking and sharing the lessons and the wisdom with other people. Ariel and Roger reflect on previous episodes - on what has been said, what has been learned, what has been unlocked – what has been done and how it has been done. They also share about their current chapters in their lives and professional journeys.
Quote of the week is by Mel Gibson: “I think any kind of hiatus one takes in an artistic journey is going to make a huge difference. The pause will inform the choices that you make.” The chapter informs so much of your future decisions, and the hiatus, after that chapter concludes, can as well.
Key Takeaways:
1) One of the lessons learned is: Do not put people in the box based on their personality type.
2) This year has been a journey of learning and of unlocking – it has been like opening a treasure chest of wisdom, and access that treasure to give it to others too.
3) What has been done, will not be undone.
4) There is the value in listening, but there is also a value in speaking. There is a time for both. There is a gift to be given through each one.

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about closure. There is a natural desire for closure, but sometimes we become so fixated on wanting the closure that we miss out the opportunity that is around us. If we focus on one thing, we might miss some other things. But the opposite might also be true. The question is: what am I craving more? Am I craving more openness and spontaneity, or am I craving more closure and structure? And how do I provide that to myself in the giving situation?
Quote of the week is by Alexander Graham Bell: “Sometimes we stare so long at the door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open”.
Key Takeaways:
We all have natural preference for openness or for closure.Make others aware of your preference at the front. Having a balance between openness and closure is really important in decision making.It starts with being aware of your needs for closure, as well as your needs for openness. Be aware of yourself. Also be aware of other people’s need for closure.Key Resources:

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about breaking the cycle/pattern of learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is a condition when a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness. It comes from a traumatic event or a persistent failure to succeed. When people feel out of control over the situation, they start feeling helpless and they might overlook an opportunity for a relief or a change.
Quote of the week is by Lech Walesa: “It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.”
Key Takeaways:
Learned helplessness is a continual cycle of believing you’re going to fail, you’ll never succeed, and that there’s nothing you can do about itBe aware of your self-talk languageIf you let go of thoughts that you’re helpless, the only thing that remains is the acceptance that you can do something about your current situationInstead of saying “I’ll never learn this”, try saying “how can I learn this in a different way”. Replace blanket statements with powerful reframes to focus on opportunities in moving forwardDon’t accept the belief that you’re helpless of powerless. Embrace that you have power and opportunities to make the changeKey Resources:

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about the fear of success. It’s very similar to the fear of failure and it correlates with the fear of not being worthy, fear of embarrassment, fear of dependence/attachment, fear of separation, fear of not being enough, fear of leadership and fear of resentment. Fear of success is preventing us to achieve our goals, to be our best selves and prosper in business; therefore, Ariel and Roger will show us how to address and face the fear of success.
Quote of the week is by Denis Waitley: “Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll' philosophy.”
Key Takeaways:
1) Success is heavy
2) Procrastination is the fear of success
3) By doing more what you’re afraid of, the less powerful the fear becomes
4) Face your fears

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about visualization and their experiences with it. Visualization is a technique of creating a mental image of desired outcomes and it’s used for NLP coaching (Neuro-linguistic Programming). Roger and Ariel explain that by visualizing, your desires will not manifest/materialize on their own, but it can help you to pursue and reach your goals. Quote of the week is by Denis Waitley: “When you visualize, then you materialize”
Key Takeaways:
If you can’t create a reality in your mind, how could you create it in your world? Visualization can help clarify how to achieve what you want.

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about the image of self. It’s very important how you view yourself because it determines actions you take in each moment. This one is similar to the episode on Detrimental Perspective where they talked about how you view the world around you. This is about how you view yourself. Quote of the day by Maxwell Maltz: “You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be”.
Key Takeaways:
How you view and define yourself matters because you define yourself as either limitless or limited.The “I am” statement is powerful. It defines who you are and determines how you’re going to act in certain situations.Wake up with the statement each morning “I am a driven person” instead of “I’m lazy” and you’ll see the results very soon. Get the word “just”, “try” or other similar modifiers out of your vocabulary.Key Resources:

On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about personality and connection. They discuss whether having the same personality type automatically connects one person to another. The discussion can be summarized with a quote: "Friendship…is born at the moment when one man says to another “What! You too? I thought that no one but myself…” - C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
Key Takeaways:
The mistake people usually make is thinking that people with the same personality type are alike. The truth is everyone’s unique. We tend to see the world the same way as someone with our personality type and that connect us to them. It creates that “me too” moment. Don’t make assumptions about people’s personality types. Open yourself up to the opportunity that there’s more to discover in people.Key Resources:
