Goals DO Come True with Doug Bennett – Details, episodes & analysis

Doug is joined by Andrew Dewar, an accountant turned energy healer and life coach. Andrew talks to Doug about his transformative journey and introduces his "Five Year You" program which is designed to help people become their best selves over a five-year period. Andrew offers a fresh perspective on goal setting, personal growth, and living an authentic life in this episode, by sharing what he has learnt is effective, including giving yourself permission to change. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The "Five Year You" program focuses on becoming your best self over five years, taking the pressure off short-term goals and focusing instead on long-term lifestyle changes.
• Andrew introduces the "Layers of Life" concept, which encourages living from the inside out, starting with your soul's purpose and working outward to relationships and material possessions.
• You have to learn to give yourself permission to live a good life and make changes that align with your true self, rather than trying to impress others or meet societal expectations.
• Andrew emphasises the value of making small, consistent changes (1% improvements) in daily habits to create significant long-term results in personal growth and wellbeing.
• Andrew introduces the "60 Second Rule" as a technique for managing recurring thoughts or concerns, allowing brief focused attention before moving on.
• Don't underestimate the importance of setting multiple goals beyond your primary objective, to help you maintain motivation and direction after achieving a significant milestone.
• Andrew shares his big audacious goal of helping a million people become their best selves, don't be afraid of thinking big and taking consistent action towards a vision.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life is way better when you give yourself permission to live a good life."

"When you know who you are, it's been my experience that the right people show up and the right community takes place."

"Focus more on the person that you want to become. Then use goals, as you're measuring stops along the way because if you are trying to lose weight for the beach trip you're going on next summer, if you're trying to save up money for a trip, if you're trying to do all these things, that's not changing your identity"

"I got to 60 and I was looking out ahead of my life thinking, well, you know, if I get to 80, I've done 75 percent of my life. I've got 25 percent left"

"People are rooting for you. And when you get around people that also want to live a great life, it changes"

Doug talks to Christian Purcell, the cofounder of DropPoint. Discover how this innovative platform connects donors with charities, revolutionising the way we give. From remote work adventures to creating a self-sustaining charity platform, Christian is an innovator and philanthropist who is championing sustainability and community empowerment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• DropPoint is a directory of charities seeking item donations, functioning like a "reverse eBay" for giving away things. The platform uses e-commerce return portal technology to facilitate direct donations from donors to charities.
• Christian's goal of creating a self-sufficient, remote-work-friendly business was realised through DropPoint. It generates income through integrated courier services, offering rates cheaper than traditional postage options.
• DropPoint provides opportunities for aspiring tech professionals to gain experience and break into the industry. The platform aims to expand by collaborating with businesses on corporate social responsibility projects.
• Christian's journey demonstrates how passion projects can lead to personal and professional growth.
• Remote work opportunities are becoming rarer post-pandemic, Christian recognises the value of flexible work arrangements for both individuals and companies.

BEST MOMENTS

"I left a good job to go work part time just doing bits and bobs, part time minimum wage work, because I needed to free up my time to build a website, hunt down charities, go through the whole learning curve of how to actually establish and run a legal business."

"I honestly feel apart from complete financial independence, which would be amazing. I honestly feel like I have completed my biggest life goals as of a couple of years ago."

"If there are some businesses out there that want to do some very big and bold item related charity campaigns, we are all there, whether it's the tech, the logistics, the marketing, the support, anything that you need"

Doug is joined by Dr. Doreen Rivers, known as River, to talk about her groundbreaking AI-powered platform, Savantz.ai. Discover how River's innovative solution is revolutionising online education and content creation, making learning more engaging and effective. From repurposing books to transforming corporate training, River shares insights that could change the game for entrepreneurs, educators, and businesses alike. Don't miss this fascinating discussion about the future of learning and content delivery!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• River is a consultant and entrepreneur with 30 years of experience in startups, often hired to help launch new companies.
• She wrote a book called "Brain to Bank" and initially planned to create an online course based on it. River hired an AI specialist to help create her course, which led to the development of the Savantz platform. Savantz is an AI-powered platform that converts text into engaging, educational micro-videos.
• From her experience teaching at university level, River has a depth of understanding of modern learning challenges. Savant helps create content that people will actually watch and learn from, addressing short attention spans and modern learning preferences.
• Savantz can repurpose existing content like books, PowerPoint presentations, and blogs into valuable video courses and offers features like story generation to enhance educational content and improve retention.
• The platform aims to help content creators monetise their existing material more effectively than traditional book sales.
• River describes herself as more comfortable behind the camera as a producer, rather than in front of it.
• She's passionate about improving learning outcomes and adapting educational methods to suit modern learners.

BEST MOMENTS

"I realised I am not creating an online course for Brain to Bake. I am actually creating a platform that could help millions of people take the text that they already have... and turn them into micro modules, small videos that people would actually watch."

"We don't just create videos. We care that at the end of that, you've actually learned what you set out to learn."

"What if you could take that same information, and let's face it, every kid, no matter what age they are, up to 50, they have their phone in front of their face, and they're watching something on their phone. So let's meet them there."

"We are creating videos for education specifically. We are creating enhancement tools."

Carissa is a World Class Speaking Coach and Psychotherapist.
