We speak with Lance Pendleton about understanding your why, how positive transformation sticks, and a good bit about dog psychology.
In This Episode:
- Lance works with Compass Realty and is a behavior and wellness specialist.
- At Compass, he works to help people get out of their own way and change their mindset as the head of agent strategy and success.
- In a previous position at Apple, he worked with Apple core, which was to help their employees explain technology to consumers.
- Lance and Brandon share about their health transformation.
- Lance describes that his first step in his weight loss journey started with awareness. He watched “Food Inc.” while eating a carton of Ben and Jerry’s out of the carton. The first step to change is awareness.
- Avoidance doesn’t work, that’s why Brandon changed his model to focus on something that is sustainable.
- There are some studies and theories that by the time we are seven years old, a lot of the behavioral traits and aspects that we develop are already locked into place.
- Long-term success can often depend on whether people have found and understand “WHY” they want to see a transformation.
- We have an interesting discussion about dog psychology. If you’re a pet owner you want to hear this stuff.
- Dogs seem to need exercise, discipline, and affection, but we often reverse the order. Every successful relationship has healthy rules, boundaries, and limitations.
- Lance unpacks transcendental meditation and how he discovered the practice while sitting on the board of a meditation center when he couldn’t meditate.
Top three things Lance would have someone do to make a positive difference in their life:
- Identify a spot that you are not happy with and get curious about why
- Simplify your life
- Be honest about whether or not you have love in your life (both self-love and the love of others)
