The Mindset Secrets Of Elite Performers - Peter Diamandis - #579

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Peter Diamandis. He's an engineer, physician, founder of the X Prize Foundation, and co-founder of Singularity University. If you got rid of Elon Musk's money, or Steve Jobs' factories, they would likely still end up in a successful place because of their mindset. Peter has incubated some of the fastest-growing and most innovative CEOs, businesses and performers, and developed a number of rules around how to optimize your mental state, as well. Expect to learn the practices that Peter teaches his students to maximize their mindset's effectiveness, the most important principles of developing a big vision for life, how to overcome negativity and limiting beliefs, whether Peter believes humans are going to be able to live up to 120 years old soon, what's happening with space tourism, and much more. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Element. Element in water, first thing in the morning, is the best way to start your day. Coffee upon waking doesn't do anything because your adenosine system, which caffeine acts on, isn't active for the first 90 minutes of your day, but your adrenal system is, and salt acts on your adrenal system. Element contains a science-backed electrolyte ratio of sodium, potassium, and magnesium, with no junk, no sugar, no coloring, no artificial ingredients, no gluten, no fillers, and no BS. It plays a critical role in reducing muscle cramps and fatigue, whilst optimizing brain health, regulating appetite, and curbing cravings. It tastes fantastic, it wakes you up, it means that you're properly hydrated throughout the day, and it means when you finally do have a coffee 90 minutes into your day, you're actually going to feel it.

And in final news, this episode is brought to you by House Of Macadamias. I am kind of addicted to House Of Macadamias macadamia nuts. They're salted ones. Me and my housemate Zach are slowly chewing through as many as they can send out. They're pretty dangerously addictive, but they're incredibly good for you. They're very low in carbohydrates. They've got the best omega three to six ratio and are 200 times better in terms of omegas than almonds are. They're one of the very few nuts that are low in lectins, which is an antinutrient that stops us from absorbing vitamins and minerals. Basically, they taste fantastic. They're good for you and I can't stop eating them. So if you are a nut lover or if someone that you know is, you have to try out House Of Macadamias. They've got vegan keto paleo-friendly chocolate dipped macadamias, spicy ones, sweet ones and salty ones. You can go and check them out right now with 20% off your first purchase.

We were talking just before, I asked all of the guests to count to five, so that I can sound check the recording to make sure that everything's working okay. And you counted down from five. Am I right in thinking that there was a period in the past, and it may still be the same now, where they missed the word five in a countdown, because five sounded too much like fire when it was missiles, so they would go seven, six, four, three, two, one, fire.
