How do you weave this through the center's farm, garden, cafe, and all of its endeavors?

We're a village, so we've got a lot of different expressions.

All of it is inviting participation, participation in the magic around us, participation in our food system, participation in the joy of being on this beautiful planet.

We do that through a whole myriad of programs from farm dinners to music festivals, to yoga classes, to field trips, to cooking classes, to shopping at the cafe and eating in the farm stand.

It's a real wide aperture of offering here.

All of it is an invitation to jump

What's rule number five?

Rule number five is to share the surplus.

What's like the fourth first course of action that you take?

Well, I've been designing farms for 25 years.

I mean, designing farms and cultivating community is just, it's what I've been attuned to, what I've been paying attention to.

Right.

So it was I got that paying attention.

The beginning of that was how the psychedelic culture was gathering around music.

But those are the same forms that are also found in traditional ways in the tropics.

So nothing on the farm is transactional?

Mm.

And so what happens, that, that, that usually comes in the form of reacting.

So how do I go, how do I get the people I serve out of a reactionary stance into responding? And the interesting about this, Maggie and Richard, is that we know we can't make decisions without emotions.

However, usually our emotions get onto the field and they start making decisions for us based on past experiences.

That's the psychoanalytical part of that.

From past, you know, from how we were programmed as children, what our beliefs are, and, and so on and so on.

So it's my job as a coach is to, in the face of any emotion, how do we create space to pick conscious behavior, which in turn, and this is the real cool part, it starts to build new experiences in the brain, which then causes a change in your neural circuitry, which is, which is very important, right? That's neuroplasticity.

Mm.

When we talk about

mental resilience, perseverance, anybody can do this.

So why did the Kobe's of the world, the MJ's of the world, the Tom Brady's of the world? Obviously, some of them were gifted.

There's no doubt about it.

But you cannot take away the resilience of these superstars.

Kobe Bryant's working out after winning an NBA championship at four in the morning.

This guy didn't make teams.

If you've got other things figured out and then you unlock that, it truly becomes the world is your oyster.

The

Quiet at the Edge is a story of three men and their stories and how a community comes together.

And it's an incredible story.

We're still writing it.

And we're hoping we're doing first quarter of 27.

But it's not a how-to.

It's more of it's interesting because I think everybody can relate to a story.

Mm-hmm.

And it was the

greatest decision I ever made.

Scary.

I had two young daughters at the time, bought a house like a year before that.

I'm like, this may not be the greatest move ever, but I did it.

Yeah, and you learn so much.

So the thing that fascinates me about Wall Street or anybody in high-pressure decision-making roles is Why do they do what they do? Not only why are people successful, but why do people keep failing and why do people keep succeeding? What is their real mental makeup? And for me, I had some wonderful coaches and it wasn't at that time.

It's my brain hustle.

Now back to the masterclass.

They're usually higher level.

You know, my goal is to make good to great, you know? So we work with a very simple formula, performance equals potential minus interferences and resistances.

So it's my job as a mental performance coach to understand what are the hurdles, obstacles, and roadblocks that are really preventing people from being optimal, you know? So when you merge the psychoanalytical side, it's like how were they raised? What is their...

what does their programming, early childhood programming look like? And then when you talk about the neurosciences, how does the brain really work? So at the end of the day, my clients become students of themselves, right? Understanding, since this is a, it's a, a trading podcast, what's the difference between impulsivity and intuition? Like, you know, everybody always wants to think about intuition, but if you don't know anything about impulsivity, you're going about the steps the wrong way in order to be optimal.

It's like, you know, it's the old, you know, addition by subtraction.

When we're able to take things out and really focus on what matters most, that provides a great road for excellence, you know? I'm one of those guys where if we can figure out where you're coming from, and understanding what's holding you back, you're limitless, right? But there's, you know...

21st Century Entrepreneurship with Martin Pyskerik [gentle music] If you consider yourself a reactionary individual, you're 10 degrees behind the eight ball right now.

Reacting is your nemesis.

I spent 25 years on Wall Street.

I've been coaching now for almost a decade, and people always ask me, "What is the difference between high performers and everybody else?" And it's very simple.

High performers know how to consciously respond in situations when they're making best decisions.

The rest just react.

So my first question, Coach, is, is that something that's innate with people, that ability to recognize opportunity and, and d- and jump, you know, burn the bridges and, and, or burn the boats and, and hit the beach? Is that something that's innate in people, or is that something that can be developed in people? What's your, what says you?

Another great question.

That one I can answer.

I think anything can be trained.

I believe in neuroplasticity.

I think given the moment...

Listen, I could have run away that day and still been a great coach.Right? So maybe the next time I would've stepped in.

Mm-hmm.
