     Show Notes

    Tom’s personal story about why he created this principle. [01:30]

    Challenges with the principle that are explored in this episode. [05:00]

    How Tony defines the comfort zone. [07:00]

    Just because we want to push our comfort zone, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t enjoy it at times. [08:30]

    What gives Tony the courage to keep pushing his comfort zone? [10:05]

    Tony had a natural curiosity as a child that made him instinctively push his comfort zone. [10:50]

    The mindset we develop influences how we see challenges – growth vs fixed mindset. This is shaped by how our parents praise us. [14:30]

    Being who you are and what you want is essential for pushing your comfort zone. [16:55]

    Collectivistic cultures promote conformity, inhibiting our ability to push our comfort zones. [17:15]

    Tony explains how “emotional intelligence is more powerful than our logical thinking”. Harness it in the right way when making decisions. [17:59]

    “Success is 85% mindset”. [18:57]

    We need both a sense of individual identity and group identity – which can create a contradiction. Find that balance. [20:55]

    How Tony’s self-awareness helps him deal with nervousness in pushing his comfort zone. [24:30]

    The feeling of nervousness and excitement is physically the same. The meaning we give to that feeling dictates our emotions. [25:05]

    When you make a performance about yourself, you get the most nervous and self-conscious. Focus on your impact. [26:10]

    How Tony primed himself before his TEDx talk. [28:10]

    “True confidence comes from not taking yourself so seriously”. [28:55]

    The words you choose impact how you feel. Saying “today was wonderful” feels much better than saying “today was great”. [30:05]

    How Tony persists in challenging times. [31:35]

    Visualise achieving your goals. Remind yourself why you’re working towards them. [32:10]

    Focusing on the pain from not achieving your goals can be more powerful than pleasure. [33:45]

    How stepping out of his comfort zone has helped Tony fully experience life. [35:30]

    Pushing your comfort zone in micro ways could have a macro impact. Taking cold showers or going to the office bathroom on a different floor could profoundly improve your life. [38:30]

    Summary of the episode and Tom’s reflection on Tony’s story. [39:40]
