Perhaps nobody is better at helping people unlock themselves than the Buddhist meditation teacher ‪@GeorgeMumfordOfficial‬ who taught meditation to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. There’s a reason why they call him the “Performance Whisperer.” In this episode we talk about:
• What it means to be in flow and why many of us may be achieving that state more than we think
• How to challenge negative self-talk
• The importance of gratitude
• The importance of service
• The importance of making mistakes (as George says, “no struggle, no swag”)
• How to recognize what he calls your hideouts
• Why he identifies as an empath and why he believes this may have played a role in his addiction
• And George’s take on often misunderstood terms such as love, hope, and faith
George has an incredible story: he began teaching mindfulness and meditation after kicking a serious drug habit, leaving a career as a financial analyst, and then earning a master's in counseling psychology. He's got a new book, it's called Unlock: Embrace Your Greatness. Find the Flow. Discover Success.
His first book was called The Mindful Athlete: The Secret to Pure Performance. If you want to hear him talk about that book, we've put links in the show notes to his prior appearances on this podcast.
