I just wrapped up an incredible experience at Dan Martell’s Social Selling Summit in Kelowna, BC, and I’m sharing my top 7 takeaways that left a lasting impact. From hosting two additional days of powerful events with Ryan Brazzell to networking with some of the most driven minds in the business world, this episode gets into what it really takes to elevate your life and business.

We explore the mindset shifts that separate high achievers—like being willing to do what others won’t, adding real value to those around you, and mastering the 80/20 rule to focus on what truly moves the needle. I also touch on the hidden fear of success that holds many back, how to attract high-level people and opportunities into your orbit, and the importance of thinking bigger than ever before.

If you’re serious about growth, influence, and building a meaningful network, this recap will light a fire under you.

What do poker, psychology, and human behavior all have in common? Blake Eastman has built a groundbreaking career at their intersection. A former psychology professor turned professional poker player, Blake is the founder of Beyond Tells—the largest behavioral study ever conducted on poker players—and the creator of School of Cards, the first brick-and-mortar poker school in the U.S. He’s also the founder of behavioral research and education company The Nonverbal Group.

In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden dynamics of human interaction—how nonverbal communication influences power, status, and connection, and how understanding behavioral undertones can change how we show up in the world. Blake breaks down how most people are stuck living lives they think they should instead of lives they truly want, and how to bridge the gap between how we’re perceived and who we really are.

We also explore origin stories, language, labels, the psychology of lying, and how our environments shape our identities. Whether you're a poker player, entrepreneur, or simply someone obsessed with human behavior, this conversation will shift how you see yourself—and everyone around you.
