(Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Duff Mcduffee a coach, hypnotist, and trainer as my guest.

Duff Mcduffee I help neurodivergent entrepreneurs get more done with less stress and more joy Growing up, I thought there was something wrong with me, but I didn't know what it was. I felt so anxious in social situations I went mute most of the time. I dived deep into every personal growth and spiritual technique I could to try to resolve what I thought were my "issues." I went on 10-day silent meditation retreats, walked across burning hot coals, tried every technique from every self-help book I could find, and even invented a bunch of techniques myself. Some of the most powerful methods I found involved making changes at the level of the unconscious mind. When we change the unconscious, we don't have to force ourselves or struggle to maintain it. So I studied esoteric topics like hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and then became a coach so I could help others make deep changes in their lives too. Where I was once mute, now I speak for a living! I know that deep transformation is possible, because I've done it. And I also now know there was never anything wrong with me, I was just neurodivergent. I had a different brain, a different way of thinking and perceiving, and with that difference comes my strengths. I also discovered along the way, using my unique gifts (including my degree in Philosophy), that there is an underlying paradigm governing how we do things that causes stress. I call it The Punishment Paradigm. That's the whole way of thinking that emerges from the belief that the best or only way to motivate ourselves do things is from fear and pain. But luckily, there is also an alternative, The Progress Paradigm. That's where we motivate ourselves with love and joy instead. We can paradigm-shift from fear to love, and when we do, we find that we don't burn out, we light up! I teach neurodivergent entrepreneurs how to embody The Progress Paradigm, because I believe the different can make a difference. We are the first to burn out, but that is a blessing in disguise. It just means we are leading the way into a future where fewer people are forcing themselves to do things they hate, and more people are following their true passions. I'd love to be on your show and chat more with you about these exciting ideas, and inspire your listeners to learn how to live a life they love. I've been a guest on multiple podcasts in the past, and I've also been a podcast host and co-host (and I'm starting up a new podcast The Neurodivergent Entrepreneur soon!).
