From the very minute we’re born we are conditioned. It’s not our parents’ fault, they just want to love us, but in doing so the human element of nature, of survival has been lost. When we get to school, we get gold stars for doing well in class, a reward for being good, for paying attention, for focussing, for not creating havoc. We’re offered things to reward good behaviour – more conditioning. 
I set out with the goal of swimming 15km today and I only managed 9.72. There were currents that really held me back and darkness crept in and I had no lights with me so I called it a day. My brain was telling me at the 7th km “you’re in pain, stop what you’re doing, don’t worry, Mummy will look after you, you’ll be OK.” More conditioning. Is pain such a bad thing? In endurance sport certainly not.
Things are being made easier for us all the time, like supermarket self-checkouts, we’re being conditioned to live an easy life. That’s because they’re intending for you to live a life they want  you to live because you are so conditioned. What is the life you want to live? Do you know, or are you living out somebody else’s ideologies? I’d say 70/30, most of you are living out somebody else’s ideologies. I’d love to be wrong.
BEST MOMENTS‘Daz tells you to put in two scoops of washing powder instead of one. Why? Is it because they want you to run quicker, so you have to buy some more Daz washing powder, or have they actually done a survey and they’ve seen that two scoops is definitely more effective? Which one do you think it could be? They are conditioning you through their marketing.’‘If you’re curvy, that’s the same as saying ugly or obese. If you’re disease-ridden there must be something wrong with you. More conditioning.’‘It’s all about conscious choices. Are you making your choices with consciousness, are you making them consciously?’ABOUT THE HOSTGavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.Why?Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!How?Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.CONTACT [email protected]
