Despite pouring countless hours into your training, you may find yourself struggling to improve and falling behind your competitors. Instead of experiencing the incredible speed you desire, you may be stuck in a cycle of stagnation, wondering why your efforts seem to be in vain.

      My special guest is Les Spellman. Les is an exceptional coach who has dedicated his life to helping athletes overcome challenges and unlock their full-speed potential. His journey began as a mediocre athlete with average performance, but everything changed after a life-altering car accident at the age of 17. Despite being told he would never walk or run without pain again, Les refused to accept that as his reality. He used the pain as fuel to push himself beyond his limits and prove the doctors wrong. Through sheer determination and an unwavering mindset, Les not only recovered but also became a member of a Division One track team. His college years were marked by struggles and disappointments, but they served as valuable lessons that fueled his passion to redefine how speed is taught and understood. Les's expertise and unique perspective make him an invaluable guest on The Shark Effect podcast, where he shares his knowledge and inspires athletes and coaches to overcome adversity and achieve remarkable speed improvements.

      The key moments in this episode are:

      ]]>      If you're feeling frustrated and defeated because your speed training methods are yielding little to no results, then you are not alone! Despite pouring countless hours into your training, you may find yourself struggling to improve and falling behind your competitors. Instead of experiencing the incredible speed you desire, you may be stuck in a cycle of stagnation, wondering why your efforts seem to be in vain.

      My special guest is Les Spellman. Les is an exceptional coach who has dedicated his life to helping athletes overcome challenges and unlock their full-speed potential. His journey began as a mediocre athlete with average performance, but everything changed after a life-altering car accident at the age of 17. Despite being told he would never walk or run without pain again, Les refused to accept that as his reality. He used the pain as fuel to push himself beyond his limits and prove the doctors wrong. Through sheer determination and an unwavering mindset, Les not only recovered but also became a member of a Division One track team. His college years were marked by struggles and disappointments, but they served as valuable lessons that fueled his passion to redefine how speed is taught and understood. Les's expertise and unique perspective make him an invaluable guest on The Shark Effect podcast, where he shares his knowledge and inspires athletes and coaches to overcome adversity and achieve remarkable speed improvements.

His mission with Proactive Athletes originated from a personal journey with his son’s athletic recruitment. Despite hiring six well-known brands in the recruiting world, his son had no offers or scholarships as he entered his senior year of high school. Fueled by a steadfast belief in his son’s potential and his own marketing acumen, Scott took the recruitment process into his own hands.

          The results were nothing short of extraordinary. In a short span, his son went from zero offers to over 26 offers and $1.1 million in scholarship opportunities. Scott’s innovative approach involved a high-level exposure program and an athlete branding program, ensuring that each student-athletes skills and potential were showcased to the fullest.

          When the world turned on its head with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Scott saw an opportunity to support other talented athletes facing similar struggles. His unique recruitment strategy resonated with families across the entire country, leading to the successful recruitment of over 400 athletes from coast to coast.

          Scott’s approach to recruitment stands out in its transparency. There’s no hype, no fluff, just a commitment to providing tangible results. The success stories speak for themselves.

          Peter’s journey with Proactive Athletes started with his family’s personal experience. When his son embarked on the high school recruiting process, Peter applied his business marketing knowledge and strategic thinking to the task, leading to a multitude of offers. This experience underscored the transformative impact that targeted marketing and strategic planning can have on an athlete’s recruiting journey. Inspired by this success, and the opportunity to make a major impact in young athletes’ lives, Peter joined Proactive Athletes with the goal of helping other student-athletes achieve similar outcomes.

          As Co-Founder and Director, Peter leverages his entrepreneurial acumen to drive Proactive Athletes forward into the future. Proactive Athletes aims to become the go-to student-athlete marketing platform and recruiting company, helping as many athletes as possible to reach their collegiate dreams.

          • It's your responsibility to be proactive in your child's recruiting process.
          • It's all about marketing.
          • Taking full advantage of your relationships.

          You have been at the top of the mountain. You were an athlete who has done some phenomenal things. You know what it takes to lead and win. But where do you go when it’s time to transition out of the arena and enter into the “real world.” So much of what you’ve done on your platform was cheered and sometimes jeered. Your character has been intertwined with your ability in your sport since you were a kid, and once you exited your sport, you were lost.

          This is where I come in. I work with athletes, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and fortune 500 executives to align their purpose with their passion, assign whom they want to become and where they want to go. I then help them uncover the adjustments that they need to make in their character, relationships, decisions, and thinking to live their life to the fullest.

          Go from confused and frustrated to intentional and influential. My coaching is for people who feel stuck when it comes to transitioning into another field…AND…for those who understand the power of having a coach to help guide them and their decisions.

          Are you ready to have more influence in your life and the lives of others? Just shoot me a message at alex@alexmoldencoaching.com, and we can get a call scheduled.

But the same foundation that has given them success in their college career can lead to their success when testing their athletic ability in a stressful environment.

          The same goes for us non-professional athletes.

          When you want to get somewhere you’ve never been before, there are 5 things I think you need to do:

          1. Don’t let pride get in the way. Be honest with yourself about where you’re at in your journey/development.

          2. Watch those who are ahead of you w/their knowledge or experience (you can learn from their success and failure).

          3. Build relationships. Be upfront with them about what you want the relationship to look like (no one likes a slick talker).

          4. Evaluate your character and make changes that will help you get to where you want to go.

          5. Be patient with yourself!

His experiences in his youth with professional athletes shaped his interest in understanding the minds of athletes. Trying to mimic his heroes, he ignored the messages his body was sending him. After a series of broken bones, an eating disorder, and mental health issues, he knew he had to change. Chris turned to Judo, translated as the “gentle way,” Buddhism, meditation, and intensive self-reflection to begin his journey to healing. This served as a pathway to understanding who he was, on and off the mat, and how to turn failure into success. Chris uses his imagination and suspenseful storytelling to raise awareness about generational trauma and mental health in sports.

Your character has been intertwined with your ability in your sport since you were a kid, and once you exited your sport, you were lost.

          This is where I come in. I work with athletes, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and fortune 500 executives to align their purpose with their passion, assign whom they want to become and where they want to go. I then help them uncover the adjustments that they need to make in their character, relationships, decisions, and thinking to live their life to the fullest.

          Go from confused and frustrated to intentional and influential. My coaching is for people who feel stuck when it comes to transitioning into another field…AND…for those who understand the power of having a coach to help guide them and their decisions.

          Are you ready to have more influence in your life and the lives of others? Just shoot me a message on here OR send me an email at alex@alexmoldencoaching.com, and we can get a call scheduled.

          The 3 keys:

          • Keep your head on a "swivel"
          • Know your environment
          • Don't let resources distract you from your job

          2. Don't let emotions lead you!
          3. Stop acting like an entitled athlete (not everyone is influenced by your platform).

We all have an origin story where there was a fork in the road, and we had to either go left or get right. This is mine.

          Questions you can ask yourself when you are stuck in life:

          -Who do you want to become?

          -What skills do you have?

          -What brings you joy?

          -Who can help you?

          -Do you have the character to endure the hardships that come with personal growth?

          Other things I discuss:

          • The power of a coach can help you with your foundation which is who you are.
          • Understanding the power of influence.
          • Creating a framework that can help you navigate your life (mine is Assignment, Alignment, and Adjustment).

Sometimes your own definition of success is buried under trauma, surroundings, lack of belief, lack of knowledge, or a relationship (that you didn’t choose).

          I visited my old high school and they were gracious enough to allow me to speak to the football team (on very short notice). I shared with them the mistakes I made while in HS, the relationships that I needed to break, and a conversation I had w/ a teacher that changed my life! I also asked them 5 questions that can help them find their own definition of success.

          1. Where do you want to go?

          2. Who do you need to become?

          3. Are you ok becoming that person?

          4. Who’s holding you accountable & do you trust them?

          5. What am I willing to sacrifice & what type of discipline will it take to achieve it?

His name is Richard Harvey. Richard was drafted in the 11th round of the 1989 NFL draft. But despite the odds, Richard played Linebacker for 12 years (Bills, Patriots, Broncos, Saints, Raiders, and Chargers).

          What we discussed:

          • How being a good listener can set you apart from your competition.
          • The difference between "good" teams and "bad" teams.

Will you be okay with the character that it takes to become the best version of yourself before jumping into a new career or relationship?

John reached both the National Football
          League (NFL) and Arena Football League (AFL).
          In two seasons, John led PSU to two consecutive semi-final appearances. Charles threw three or more touchdowns in 17 of the 18 games he started. He earned National Player of the Week honors from USA Today and Sports Illustrated. He was the only player to be named Player of the Year twice in the Western Football Conference. Additionally, he was a Harlon Hill Trophy Finalist, earning both Kodak and Small College All-America honors.
          John was selected as a free agent in the 1993 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. In 1996, while playing for the San Jose Sabercats, sustained a shoulder injury that forced him to retire.
          He now enjoys using his knowledge and continued education working in the sports performance industry to help athletes sharpen their skills. Charles’ volunteer training centers around 3 components: mental toughness, teamwork, and preparation.
          John also works in the food industry where he has created a barbecue sauce called, John John's BBQ Sauce that is being sold in 19 stores throughout the state of Oregon. John also works with youth at a Treatment Facility, as well as, Substitute Teaching.

          What we discussed:

          • Qualities of an elite QB
          • Transferrable skills that can help you in the job market
          • How to use adversity as a tool that can benefit you
          • Using your passion to find purpose

          Edgar’s life is anything but ordinary. When he was about 17, he got kicked out of a challenging catholic school and started his first company. He taught himself to weld furniture and shortly sold his first table for $400. At that moment, he realized that he can make money from being creative and his life took a whole new direction.

          During this topic, Edgar can take your audience back on his journey from a very young age to becoming the successful serial entrepreneur he is today. He’ll talk about overcoming adversities, following his instinct, living life to the fullest, and eventually shaking up the whole industry. Your listeners will leave with not only actionable strategies but also tons of inspiration and confidence to keep building, even if all odds are stacked against them.

He led the R&D arm of Amazon’s data-mining and personalization team. He co-founded Redfin (now a multi-billion dollar company) and founded RichRelevance, a company that offers personalized shopping experiences for large retail brands, including Macy’s, Barneys New York, Office Depot, and others.

          He is now inventing the next BIG thing in home security – Deep Sentinel, an AI-based home protection. The company’s intelligent crime prevention transforms home security from false alarms and ineffective after-the-fact crime alerts to real-time crime prediction and prevention. With Deep Sentinel, Americans can gain a reliable, cost-effective way to protect their homes and stop a burglary, mail theft, or driveway break-in before it happens – and feel dramatically safer at home, at work, and on vacation.

If you're trying to become the best version of yourself, trust me, the road will get bumpy. Self-doubt, looking at the skeletons in your closet, guilt, relationships, bad decision, mental roadblocks are all things that we need to examine and find solutions for ourselves. This path is long, bumpy, and full of resistance.

          The question is, do you have the character to take this path. Just a heads up..it's hard and could be lonely.


          PRO TIP:

          • Invest in a Coach

Jeff is the vice president of the northwest region of athletes to careers. He is very passionate about helping athletes transition to their careers after sport. After working and talking with student-athletes for 18 years at the University of Oregon and for the last three years with the Oregon Athlete Foundation, the biggest hurdle they face is the transition from being a student-athlete to a "former" athlete. He is dedicated to helping these athletes make that transition, listening to their goals, and helping them connect with employers who want to hire them because they have the skills business owners want in their employees.


          What we discussed:

          • How to share your experiences in your sport and translate that onto a resume.
          • Your sport was your job (at college). Time management skills, leadership, overcoming adversity, team-oriented are a few important skills that you most likely mastered.
          • Attributes that managers want.
          • Steps to transfer the confidence you had as an athlete to the professional version of yourself.
          • The "walk-on" athletes super-power.
          • The two best industries that student-athletes thrive in.

          Being prepared for life "when the ball stops bouncing for you", is a key tool that most student-athletes don't ask themselves when in college. He gives a very raw look at what the questions you should be asking yourself and the college coach that's recruiting you.


          What we discussed:

          • Questions to ask yourself during the recruiting process
          • A team is not a family! It's a FAMILITY (loyalty, trust, & love)
          • Tools to decrease stress for athletes
          • Leading yourself before leading others
          • Turning vulnerability into a superpower
          • The power of relationships

          Kate Eckman empowers high-achieving individuals to actualize their full potential. She leverages her experience as well-known communication, performance, and mindfulness expert, accomplished entrepreneur, and elite athlete to equip leaders with the tools, methodology, and energetic boost they need to excel at the game of life.


          With a results-driven approach rooted in neuroscience, positive psychology, and whole-person coaching techniques, Kate helps her clients succeed in and out of the boardroom and on and off the field. She guides them to identify who they are beneath their titles and labels, clarity their priorities and values, and then co-create a game plan to get them from where they are now to where they most want to be … adding in some fun and humor along the way.


          Kate earned her B.A. in communications from Penn State University, where she was an Academic All-American swimmer. She received her master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. She graduated at the highest level from Columbia University’s executive and organizational coaching program. Kate is also a certified ICF coach (ACC) and a licensed NBI consultant.


          Kate is the author of, The Full Spirit Workout: A 10-Step System to Shed Your Self-Doubt, Strengthen Your Spiritual Core, and Create a Fun & Fulfilling Life, (New World Library, April 27th, 2021).


          What we discussed:

          • Navigating exiting collegiate athletics and finding a career that she is passionate about
          • The good, bad, and ugly of being a journalist (She once interviewed Angelina Jolie & President Barack Obama)!
          • What moves the needle for mental health
          • Never say "Just let it go"
          • 5 P's for self-confidence
          • How much does former President Barack Obama bench press

I thought I was somebody who I knew, turns out I had no idea and I was hiding behind my career.

She was homeless and lived on the streets of Seattle.

          Now at 48 years old, she has overcome it all. She is a graduate of the University of Washington.

          “It is possible, if I can do it anybody can,” said Ginny Burton.


          “Whatever I had to do, everyone was a victim and everyone was prey,” said Burton. “There were a number of times I just barely made it out.”

          After serving time in every women’s prison in the state, in 2012 something changed.

          “I was looking at my fourth prison sentence and I made a decision. The minute I got into the police car. That was it. I was done and I was super grateful I had been arrested because I knew it was going to give me an opportunity to change my life,” said Burton.

          She served her time, got clean, and got out with new dreams. In 2016, the mother of three went back to school. Now she will graduate from UW with a degree in Political Science. She starts graduate school at the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance in the fall.

          Burton was arrested more than 20 times, desperate to feed her drug habit. She did it all from identity theft, to assault, to armed robbery, even stealing from drug dealers.


          Ginny shares her story of how she overcame trauma as a youth, drug addiction, and became an honors scholar.


          What we discussed:

          • Overcoming adversity (Your past doesn't have to define you)
          • The ugly truth about addiction & the beauty of service
          • Taking accountability for all of your choices can affect how you view yourself
          • How to energize and recharge yourself
          • Keys to lead yourself no matter how much you've been beaten down
          • Leaderships philosophies and principles that she believes in
          • Overcoming self-doubt

After successfully making it through some difficult life experiences, she decided to go back to college in her 40's and earned her Master's Degree in a mental health program. Brandie still felt like there was so much she was missing in terms of how she can help people feel better. After an appalling experience in the mental health field, she was still on the search for a more complete understanding of personal development. Nine months after completing her first Master's Degree, Brandie enrolled in a second Master's program in Consciousness & Transformative Studies, one of only a handful in the world. This was the piece that she was missing. Brandie is a personal development coach and the author of The Power of SelfMastery: Changing your life through discovery, exploration, and transformation. She is now on a mission to empower and encourage as many people as possible to learn to master the self.

          What we discussed:

          • How to stop keeping yourself hostage.
          • Being more intentional while keeping your ego at bay.
          • How to overcome a NASTY divorce: The secret and benefits of surrendering.
          • Blocking out the noise.
          • STOP caring what people think about you (a 45-min. nightmare butt dial).
          • If you have a negative emotion, it's not about anything but you!
          • Self-awareness is the foundation of finding your identity & setting yourself FREE.

In fact, he’s everything but normal.

          After he wrestled a huge Russian guy for money (and won), he got an idea that led to an extraordinary journey of starting Stakester – a platform allowing video game players to back themselves. If you’re better than your friend, you win. If not, well…

          He traveled to New York to introduce this concept to the Rockstar Games co-founder Gary Foreman. Gary listed 16 reasons why it won’t work. Then he joined Thomas’ team.

          Since then, Stakester’s been able to raise millions of dollars, attract thousands of competitive players, and spread the message about fundraising and building & scaling a successful online business.

          Tom also runs The Back Yourself Show. A podcast on a mission to empower those thinking about launching their own startup and turning those who have into superstar successes.

Amit grew up in Australia and started his career in finance for a large investment bank. After transferring to New York with the same firm, Amit eventually moved to a hedge fund, where he focused on investing in emerging markets and growth sectors. He started Sapience Group in 2016 after realizing that many consumer-focused products did not seem to be made with consumers in mind, and there was a need for products that were designed by consumers for consumers. Amit has lived in New York for the past 16-years, and when not thinking about brands and products, he likes to spend time with his wife and daughter or play golf.


          What we discuss:

          • how to think of ways to solve a problem
          • constantly looking for ways to improve yourself (a culture that you can create for yourself and your family)
          • figuring out who you are is the foundation of doing what you love
          • best tip for leaders...get input from everyone!

She believes that happiness is an internal job and that most people can live happier, easier lives if they get clear on what matters most to them and then develop a plan to do more of that and less of the rest. People and processes are at the heart of the work that she has done for the last 20+ years in corporations, law firms - as both a lawyer and administrator - and small businesses. Now she's using that experience coupled with her own journey to help people supercharge their success and happiness.

          She is a lawyer turned UC Berkeley Certified Executive Coach who is passionate about helping driven professionals live easier, happier, priority-aligned (whole) lives by:


          - finding clarity;

          - taking the next steps in their career;

          - overcoming overwhelm;

          - going from idea to action; and

          - stepping into their authentic leadership presence.


          What we discussed:

          • Aligning with your purpose to find fulfillment
          • Defining leadership and how to use it
          • Money is not always the answer to finding happiness
          • How to make the best decisions (have a system)

He also was a star player in his younger days for Washington State University and played 11 seasons for other National Basketball Association teams.

          He started a successful physical therapy business in 1989 but then hit hard times in 2015 after open-heart surgery. His mother died, his wife left him, his business failed, his savings evaporated and he even considered suicide.

          But then came the suicide of WSU football star Tyler Hilinski, which shocked him and convinced him to get back on his feet and continue on with his life.

          He started a foundation, yourgiftoflife.org to further the conversation about mental health and suicide. And he's written a book "Celebrating Your Gift of Life."


          What we discussed:

          • The business of sports and how not to take things personally (it's a business)
          • How to put your personal development "team" together
          • Suicide prevention (the stigma of mental health for pro-athletes)
          • The importance of staying connected during a crisis
          • Finding your purpose in life

          • Being all in and being comfortable doesn't match.
          • Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

          Being an athlete is all he desired to be as a kid, sports were his outlet. Playing sports was the one place Cletus felt most like himself, and could be distracted from many of life's challenges. 

          His dream was to become a professional athlete. It did not matter which sport, he was just completely driven to reach his highest potential as an athlete. 

          However, things don't always go according to plan. 

          After his parents divorced, and the death of his baby sister, he internalized his grief and pain, by channeling all of his energy into finding happiness and success in sports. 

          He was a three-sport athlete throughout high school and when it was over, his success in sports had him wanting more. 

          After a successful four years in college as a two-sport student-athlete, he walked away with his degree and a burning desire to continue his athletic career to see how far he could take himself.

In this episode, I touch on the positive and negative effects of speaking up when you know or see someone who might be changing into the worst version of themselves. Sometimes it just takes courage to have that difficult conversation that could possibly change the trajectory of someone's life.

          Rob is an entrepreneur, people connector, philanthropist, father, husband, and cancer survivor.

          His unique experiences have inspired him to become a mentor to dozens of NFL players, coaches, and other professional athletes. He is on a mission to help NFL Players, coaches and other athletes make a bigger impact with their time, relationships, and money.


          Having worked with NFL players and coaches over the past 10 years, Rob is a sought-after speaker and panelist on a variety of relevant topics, including field-to-life transition, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and elevating mindset. He’s been a podcast guest with well-known hosts, such as John Brenkus, of Sport Science, NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon’s Sports 1 partner Dave Meltzer, former NFL star LB Gary Brackett, and Rich Take on Sports. Additionally, he has been the emcee, host, or auctioneer for dozens of NFL players or coaches charity events.


          Rob is a co-founder of the Ray Lewis’ Ray of Hope Foundation with Lewis and John Brenkus in 2017 and sits on the board. He is also an active participant on the Special Olympics of GA Board of Directors and is active as a Children’s Ministry Volunteer and Leader at Mt. Pisgah UMC. Additionally, he is a football coach within the Johns Creek Jr. Gladiator program.

          What we discussed:

          • 3 things most athletes overlook when they retire
          • the benefits of having a gratitude mindset
          • situational fluency (you have to fail to get there)
          • getting yourself "right" can help you when it comes to making decisions
          • the pitfall of being interesting instead of interested
          • tips on how to transition into a new career

As a power forward for the Portland Trail Blazers and four other National Basketball Association (NBA) teams—the Sacramento Kings, the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Phoenix Suns—from 1994 to 2006, he made life tough for opponents close to the basket, leaping for rebounds, denying positions, closing up passing lanes, blocking shots. His on-court confrontations with Hall of Fame power forward Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz were described as "one of the most physical and contentious one-on-one rivalries in the NBA," according to Trail Blazer video archives. Brian now has Parkinson's disease but he is not letting it slow him down. He has a foundation that helps people with the disease live an inspired life through exercise and better nutrition.

Throughout her extensive career of 36 years, she has been a pioneer in combining traditional psychotherapy with body awareness, energy psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality. She brings you the latest discoveries in neuroscience with the ancient traditions of the East, as well as the best of Western Learning Theory.

          Her own personal journey led her to the discovery of the intimate connection between mind and body and she has been teaching others the skills necessary to gain mastery over managing their emotions in challenging and pressured situations. She works with business leaders, athletes, artists, speakers and other high achievers who want to excel in performing under pressure.

          In our conversation, I ask her what keys can we use to manage ourselves in high-stress situations.


          What you will learn:

          • How to strive for excellence instead of perfection
          • How to use fear as a "friend"
          • Communication keys for success
          • How to use your emotions as tools to get you where you want to be
          • Best practices for focus and relaxation

          What you will learn:

          • Don't try to keep up with the Jones' before you learn about who you are first.
          • Just because you know your friends really well doesn't mean they can be trusted (you have to see them in different environments).
          • Sometimes what you add to things can really lower its value...yourself included!

Jordan grew up in the Idaho country, surrounded by the beautiful lakes of that vast state. Being surrounded by nature, he grew up spending his formative years in nature. As a young adult, he came of age as he spent a year riding freight trains across the US - spending countless days and nights navigating both rural and urban environments. Soon after he left for Russia where he would spend the better part of the next ten years living in Siberia in villages, with fur trappers, and ultimately with traditional nomadic reindeer herders. Amongst these people, Jordan would learn the art of survival - not as taught in classes, but as lived day in and day out by people whose existence depends on those skills. The skills acquired over his life were proven effective and reliable when Jordan won season 6 of History Channel's Alone show, spending 77 days in the Arctic while also successfully hunting a bull moose, a wolverine, dozens of rabbits, squirrels, grouse, and numerous fish.

          Jordan learned to hunt, trap, fish, survive, and even thrive in good times and bad. He learned to deal with adversity and value his family and friends. He learned that experience is valuable, but that the development of character and love are the most important aspects of life. He values where he came from, both his Assyrian and Danish heritage and strives to be someone worthy of the incredible sacrifices those before him made to give him a good life. He hopes to do the same for his children. He is very blessed and thankful to have an opportunity to live life to its fullest.


          What you will learn:

          • How to develop a mindset that can help you overcome adversity
          • How to cope with being 'Alone'

          ]]>          My guest this week is Jordan Jonas, winner of season 6: Alone (History channel). Jordan grew up in the Idaho country, surrounded by the beautiful lakes of that vast state. Being surrounded by nature, he grew up spending his formative years in nature. As a young adult, he came of age as he spent a year riding freight trains across the US - spending countless days and nights navigating both rural and urban environments. Soon after he left for Russia where he would spend the better part of the next ten years living in Siberia in villages, with fur trappers, and ultimately with traditional nomadic reindeer herders. Amongst these people, Jordan would learn the art of survival - not as taught in classes, but as lived day in and day out by people whose existence depends on those skills. The skills acquired over his life were proven effective and reliable when Jordan won season 6 of History Channel's Alone show, spending 77 days in the Arctic while also successfully hunting a bull moose, a wolverine, dozens of rabbits, squirrels, grouse, and numerous fish.

          Jordan learned to hunt, trap, fish, survive, and even thrive in good times and bad. He learned to deal with adversity and value his family and friends. He learned that experience is valuable, but that the development of character and love are the most important aspects of life. He values where he came from, both his Assyrian and Danish heritage and strives to be someone worthy of the incredible sacrifices those before him made to give him a good life. He hopes to do the same for his children. He is very blessed and thankful to have an opportunity to live life to its fullest.


          What you will learn:

          • How to develop a mindset that can help you overcome adversity
          • How to cope with being 'Alone'
          • How to be proactive when facing trials
          • What gratitude can do for you during suffering
          • How to thrive in adverse environments
          • How to set your expectations at the right level (a pessimistic optimism)

I ended up skipping a very important procedure because of the way I felt (overly confident) and I paid dearly.


          Have a listen to what that mistake did for me..it was more mental than physical. I'm glad I was able to learn from that mistake and I hope you can learn a thing or two from that very same mistake that you can apply a core principle that I share in this episode.


          What you will learn:

          • How protocols can give you a shortcut to success
          • How to develop discipline for your success
          • How to turn your failures into super-powers
          • 2nd chances is a key for personal development

          ]]>          In this episode I dive into a traumatic episode in my life (when I tore 3 ligaments in my knee). I ended up skipping a very important procedure because of the way I felt (overly confident) and I paid dearly.


          Have a listen to what that mistake did for me..it was more mental than physical. I'm glad I was able to learn from that mistake and I hope you can learn a thing or two from that very same mistake that you can apply a core principle that I share in this episode.


          What you will learn:

          • How protocols can give you a shortcut to success
          • How to develop discipline for your success
          • How to turn your failures into super-powers
          • 2nd chances is a key for personal development

I’m Alex Molden – a former NFL Veteran and current leadership and personal development speaker and coach – and I’m here to inspire you every week through stories from leaders of all walks of life that not only overcame obstacles but also learned core principles and applied them to their successful careers.


          I deeply believe in foundations and that’s why today I’m laying the first brick of my future relationship with you, my listener, by sharing bits of my past that led me here, in your ears.


          On top of my background, tune in to find out the story of a fisherman in Japan that learned a valuable lesson, and also how to apply the 3A’s formula that all successful teams follow.


          In this episode, you will learn:

          • My intention with this podcast and what you can expect to hear. (00:45)
          • A little bit about who I am. (03:02)
          • The triple A’s that set you up for success: Assignment, Alignment, and Adjustment. (05:42)
          • The phrase that changed my life: “Alex, you don’t know who you are!” (14:25)
          • Why I chose the name, “Shark Effect”. (18:22)
